Wait until the Supreme Court hears about this plan! … oops, I forgot … oh nevermind.

So ... anyone with a registered gun?

The Patriot Act was just a foot in the door.

But of course. Of course “white supremacists”, as Biden discussed in his “spectacular” speech, are the major threat to our security nowadays.

Buried in the article;

"DHS officials maintain the materials provided would only consist of broad summaries or analysis of narratives that are emerging on these sites and would not be used to target specific individuals."

And that's the money quote. That's exactly the intent. More from DHS officials:

"Seat belts will NEVER be a primary offense for traffic stops"
"The Patriot Act will never be abused"
"Epstein committed suicide"
"Joe Biden is the most popular president ever"
"Trust the government"

But not Antifa or BLM of course.

Since 9/11 all telephone calls are monitored for "key words" that trip a recording for tracing.. I suspect there is something like that for texts and on line... We live in 1984 .. Alexa listens to everyword said in your house, your phone she also listens to your conversations and it does not even need to be turned on.. My daughter and granddaughter had a "private" conversation about female products.. with in a short time they got email ads for them .. If you want a truely private conversation you need to leave all electronics in your home and go into your yard..I dont even think that is "safe"

I was telling a friend this and her reply was way too typical.. "well I am not doing anything illegal so I dont care" ..The sheeple don t get it folks..

The government has always done that. All governments have always done that. Government intrusion influenced the writers of our Bill of Rights.

This announcement only means it has been advanced to a new level. It probably means that thinking/communicating unapproved thoughts is now considered terrorism. Any and everything has been labeled hate so the sharp edge of that has worn off. Need something new.

Constitutional and civil rights lawyers welcomed to comment.

Do private entities working for the feds subject to EO 12333 and all amendments and/or later incarnations if it is used to supports some sort of ‘counterintelligence’ investigation? Does this open the door to all sorts of ‘evidence gathering’ or other searches and seizures of data without the owner’s/creator’s knowledge the data is being gathered? Perhaps data you willingly give away under an EULA is not protected (or is it?). Are call data records kept by cell providers fair game to these private entities without needing a warrant or any kind of probable cause? Does this private help extend to electronic monitoring of any type (voice, key loggers, etc.) without the need of a FISA court warrant?

Tinfoil hat wearers wanna know,

“Domestic terrorist” used to mean something back in the day.

Don’t mean squat today given it is largely subjective based now. I don’t like you? Domestic Terrorist. I don’t like your political ideology? Domestic terrorist. I don’t like your religion? Domestic terrorist. Don’t kowtow to my ideological beliefs, etc.? Domestic terrorist. Voted for Trump? Domestic terrorist. Don’t like #notmypresident BidenIdiot? Domestic terrorist.

See how this works in the labeling or designating of “domestic terrorist’? Unreal.

If only there were a word in English for when totalitarian government coopts private companies into doing their dirty work ...

[DiogenesLamp]

It's okay if the government farms out spying to "private" corporations. The constitution only prevents government from doing it, it wasn't meant to apply to "private" corporations doing it at the behest of government.

extremist groups such as the Proud Boys or Oath Keepers.

Exactly what is supposed to be extreme about these organizations?

[KC_Conspirator]

This article is both a steaming pile of BS, such as it blaming Trump, and packed full of lies regarding the illegality of the current admin.
