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

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.”

Funny how there’s been no war on BLM or Antifa but now we need to wage war on Conservative American citizens?

Not sure how ‘funny’ it is.

I see this as VERY serious.

And, obvious as to what their agenda is.

They must be craping their pants seeing all the hostility towards them. Can only imagine what they are seeing while they are monitoring everyones phones and messages. Couple this with the continuous rise in gun sales and its only a matter of tine.

Gee, were Democrats domestic insurgents these last 4 years or only people who question their theft of elections?

The Weather Underground, Chicago Seven, Black Panthers and other insurgent movements got off lightly and are “respected” by academia and historians who support Marxist militant movements.

YES. Perpetrated by our own CIA and FBI.

Exactly. If I have to go to the gallows, it will be because I landed a trophy buck. Not some yearling spike.
