So reveal new documents obtained by America First Legal (AFL) under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

The FOIA files show DHS’s Office of Terrorism and Violence Prevention (“OTVTP,” now known as “CP3”) using taxpayer dollars in January 2021 to screenwrite an online “Choose Your Own Adventure”-style video series to “deradicalize” friends and family.

DHS’s “radicalization suspects” in the video screenplays are not violent terrorists or extremists. They are typical everyday Americans with typical everyday American opinions.

For example, DHS constructs a detailed profile for “Ann,” a “middle-aged pro-life advocate” — she is a “suburban Mom” surrounded by stock footage of “laundry” and “Minivan” who “has become increasingly more concerned about the welfare of other children:”

We need a new meme:

 

I Will Not Be Deradicalized And I Don't Give A Damn.

“Kinder: Berichten Eltern gegen Vaterland”

The modern US version: Niños: Denunciar a los padres contra la patria.

”In your face” is our communist masters' favorite tool to rattle the chains of tyranny that they have wrapped around our necks...

No Big Deal!
Our communist masters know that the pathetically servile and indolent Aamerican people will just continue to roll over and spread their collective cheeks..

I guess when I’m “deradicalized” I’ll be OK with abortions if the baby was kicking too vigorously.

Sauce for the gander. When next there is a conservative majority and conservative POTUS, re-write these directives to be against “pro-communists or socialists”, and “radical leftists and agitators”.

Imagine the squeals, like stuck pigs.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) plans to produce training videos that get “bystanders” to intervene against “radicalization” of their peers.​

That's fine, send your bystanders to me and I will convert and radicalize them. Your philosophy is so week and thin it can't stand up to even the slightest application of reason and logic.

Bring it DHS, I use to work for you and you have all my files and DNA. You suck nowadays and have become the laughing stock of law enforcement, intelligence and the fed/gov.

Is there something in the Constitution saying I cannot have radical viewpoints?

I like your stile. And then we will enjoy the lamentations of their women.
