DHS links terror alert to easing pandemic restrictions
American Thinker ^ | 17 May, 2021 | Eric Utter

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recently issued a National Terrorism Advisory System bulletin warning of an increased risk of attacks by violent extremists taking advantage of the easing of pandemic restrictions. Seriously.

The alert does not cite any specific threats but warns of potential danger from an “increasingly complex and volatile” mix of groups that includes domestic terrorists inspired by various grievances and racial or ethnic hatred. The bulletin cautioned, “Violent extremists may seek to exploit the easing of COVID-19-related restrictions across the United States to conduct attacks against a broader range of targets after previous public capacity limits reduced opportunities for lethal attacks.” The alert noted that extremists motivated by racial and ethnic hatred have historically targeted crowded businesses or gatherings and is an extension of a previous alert issued in the wake of the January 6 “attack” on the U.S. Capitol.

The original bulletin warned of the continuing potential for violence from those evil anti-government types, i.e. Trump supporters, who were upset by their completely unfounded belief that the Orange Man had an election stolen from him. That bulletin suggested the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol could embolden deranged extremists and set the stage for additional attacks around the country. That warning proved unfounded and those “attacks” never happened. But being a wholly owned subsidiary of the Democratic Party means never having to say you’re sorry. Or wrong.

And, honestly, what leftist worth his/her/they salt could resist using the lessening of unconstitutional mask and gathering restrictions to warn against a coming wave of bloody attacks by crazed Trump supporters against the benevolent -- indeed beatific -- governmental institutions we all know and love?

Easing mask mandates could cause the Earth to fly out of it’s fragile orbit around the Sun.

WuFlu was NEVER about public health.

The DHS is now the propaganda, dirty tricks and disinformation department of the Democratic Party.
Nothing they say is of any value to patriotic Americans save to make all patriots become even more vigilant.

They want us all to be afraid of something. Never a moment’s peace.

How else can they control us if they don’t continue panic porn. We’ll be living our lives in a blender of chaos for at least four years — until the RATs are out of power.

I wonder if the FBI/DOJ is planning multiple or one big false flag event for the 2022 election season? Some people around here believe we’re going to have a regular election and the BTeamers will win back the house. After getting near universal support for the ‘20 coup, expect the Uniparty to double down and go for red state representatives this time. No? Who’s left to stop them? I assume our masters will flesh out that ATeam majority a bit. They will allow enough BTeamers to keep it close enough so the donations will continue to flow.

(Of course they mean right wing Trumpster insurrectionist white supremacist KKK racist Constitution loving terrorists.)

These DHS people are absolutely insane.

Even assuming for a moment that we are the ones who actually do terroristic acts; Terrorists usually wear masks, tohide their identities; Correct?? Well when everyone is masked, then it is easier to get away with doing nasty stuff; Correct?? So wouldn’t have been more practical to do terroristic acts when everyone was masked?

And a committed terrorist is usually prepared to die in the act, so a little less fear about a mostly faked virus pandemic is hardly going to make much, if any, difference in their decisions to go do something bad.

In addition to being insane, these DHS people are absolutely bereft of the ability to engage in logical thinking.

At this point, if the CCP attacked the US and seized control of FedGov, could we tell the difference?

While I agree with you on the first part, I don't see the media stopping its breathless panic porn reporting over every little action taken by a Republican or conservative leader.

They did it for President Trump's entire term.

They’re nervous about “Americans” wandering freely and having unvetted thoughts, ideas, and opinions.
