CIA Counterterror Chief Suggests Going To War Against ‘Domestic Insurgents’
Summit News ^ | 4 Februrary 2021 | Steve Watson

Posted on 02/04/2021 7:10:00 PM PST by amorphous

The former head of the CIA Counterterrorism Center has suggested that counterinsurgency tactics used by the military in Iraq and Afghanistan should be applied to ‘domestic extremists’ inside the US.

NPR reports that Robert Grenier, who directed the CIA’s Counterterrorism program from 2004 to 2006, declared “We may be witnessing the dawn of a sustained wave of violent insurgency within our own country, perpetrated by our own countrymen.”

In an op-ed for The New York Times last week, Grenier suggested that “extremists who seek a social apocalypse … are capable of producing endemic political violence of a sort not seen in this country since Reconstruction.”

Sounds like a reasonable plan but you might in the future not publish that idea on a public viewable website or unencrypted! Just saying the fed big brother has more informants than the old Stasi (East German secret police).

They are hired into institutions of higher learning, US govt jobs in sensitive positions, and hold fundraising events for future presidents.

I would agree if this were normal times but I suspect the Federals are getting more and more spread out and understaffed..

War on Christians, believers in the Constitution, and those who do not submit themselves to the communist oriented Democrat party.

Another “former” loud mouth, looking for attention. Be careful what you wish for, fool. Be sure to march up front in your so-called “war” on American citizens ... We’ll make certain to provide the special treatment you so richly deserve. Remember this, spy boy, we far outnumber you Marxist maggots.

in other words, have a Argentinean style “dirty war” and make dissidents disappear. Except only while Democrats are in charge.

Antifa and BLM are issues for local law enforcement. They are made up of mostly cowards and emotionally unstable people. When faced with a real threat, they run.

Trump supporters are made up of veterans and adults that are patriots and people of faith. These are people that have resolve and are willing to sacrifice everything if the need is great enough. When faced with a real threat, they will fight.

And that's what they fear.

Witnessing?

Where’s the reality czar?

All of us who warned that the wars waged on others abroad would be waged on us here were right.

Every time you read some infuriating outrageous BS, hear or see it anywhere else just mentally add one of those sitcom laugh tracks and play it over and over in your head...

inappropriate laugh tracks #4

Meetings culminating with an awards ceremony recognizing their invaluable contribution to ‘unity’ and ‘healing’.

This situation seems like something out of a Hollywood production set when a cue is missed, someone fails to enter the scene, and the director fails to yell “CUT!!”.... so the actor on the set looks around a bit confused, and then blurts out their lines as if everything went as planned... trying not to be the one who failed to follow the script.

Patriots failed to storm the capital on the 20th.

Patriots failed to rebel across America. (some Antifa tried)

Now the Biden military hawks look stupid when it’s their turn to blurt out their lines.

Even though the leftists in government aren’t going after BLM and Antifa, they can’t count on them help from them. BLM and Antifa will do what they want and the government technocrats aren’t safe.

I hope this guy is No longer an employee of the U.S. Government in any area of National Security. I wonder how much he knew about President Trump being accused with false Intelligence information.

This rat lead government should try and unite this country by following the constitution as written.

If they believe going to war with a Free people is a good idea,they best think again. A civil war here will not be a cake walk for our government they should take the civil war between the North and the South as an example.

The North won but not at great expence.

We can be 100% certain that with all the funding & resources that are going to be poured in this “operation”, this site is being watched & plants are here.

Be careful what you say.
