Denver police taking federal terrorism bulletin extremely seriously

by: Matt Mauro

Posted: Jan 28, 2021

DENVER (KDVR) — A day after the Department of Homeland Security issued a rare terrorism bulletin warning of potential violence from homegrown extremists, Denver Police Chief Paul Pazen said the department is taking the warning seriously and is being proactive.

The bulletin said the attack at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 may embolden some domestic violent extremists. It also said information suggests that “some ideologically-motivated violent extremists with objections to the exercise of governmental authority and the presidential transition, as well as other perceived grievances fueled by false narratives, could continue to mobilize to incite or commit violence.”

“It’s something that we’re very aware of,” Pazen said Thursday. “We’re concerned about multiple threats with regards to domestic terrorism.”

The bulletin did not mention a specific threat. Still, Denver police are acting on it now.

“We are proactively reaching out to faith leaders, communities of color, organizations that could potentially be targeted by folks and working on strategies to help keep them safe,” Pazen said.

Federal investigators have said extremists and members of militia groups were involved in the deadly attack at the Capitol.

This includes a man from Woodland Park, Colorado.

Robert Gieswein faces multiple federal charges. In an affidavit, investigators said he appears to be affiliated with the radical militia group known as the Three Percenters, which is loosely allied with another anti-government militia, the Oath Keepers.

Scott Levin, Anti-Defamation League Mountain States’ regional director, said both groups, along with the Proud Boys, are in Colorado.

“It was a refreshing change to see the Department of Homeland Security issue this bulletin at this time,” Levin said. “We’ve been talking about homegrown terrorism for quite some time and it is really beyond comprehension that this has not been the focus, given that so much of the terrorism, harassment, vandalism have been coming from homegrown terrorists.”

The bulletin is set to expire on April 30, 2021.

Yeah, Pazen was busy putting product in his hair and telling his cops to stand down all summer. All of a sudden now, they're 'extremely serious'.

Video at link.

We backed the blue. A large majority of cops will fall in and not back us or the constitution. The new “Denver Strong”?

Just like Cubans were endlessly warned by the Communist government that a U.S. invasion of their country was “imminent”.

I agreed to take a phone survey via text. Often you can determine who ordered the survey by what the questions allege. One of the questions laid the capital “riot” on Trump’s right wing terrorist Parlor users. There was no way to answer this negatively. I completed the survey which was about my attitudes on whether to break up Amazon, Google, and Facebook. The survey was amazingly interactive, the next question coming as a result of the previous answer. Several times it said, “Often while taking a survey the user develops a different opinion based on what he learns.” It then gave me the same questions again about whether I would regulate the Tech Giants. It did this four times as I always said yes. Each time it was followed by more “informative” questions intended to sway my opinion.

I am probably now a marked man.

“Illegitimacy begets insecurity and paranoia.”

Worth repeating...

Check out this bit of troll genius.

A guy took Maxine Waters quote and used Cuomo’s name instead of Trump. Hilarity ensued.

To describe Three Percenters or Oath Keepers as radicals makes sense only if you are a leftist, communist, socialist, antifa, or blm supporting person.

Pretty sad. They are setting up a totally false narrative to demonize 2A supporters. The 2% milkers and the oath breakers are totally harmless, overweight mildly successful middle aged men whose talents include running around the forest playing paintball and shrinking from any sacrifice necessary to secure the 2A.

Well, three months. But it won’t take long for our oligarchy to sear into to the general publics mind that the half of the country on the right are all potential domestic terrorists. Just a few months of imagery, fake stories and constant repetition.

For an example of how easy this is to do, I present:

Face masks.

Are you going to quietly walk up the ramp? If not then STFU.
