WASHINGTON (AP) — A national terrorism alert issued Friday warns that violent extremists may take advantage of the easing of pandemic restrictions to conduct attacks.
The alert does not cite any specific threats. But it warns of potential danger from an increasingly complex and volatile mix that includes domestic terrorists inspired by various grievances, racial or ethnic hatred and influences from abroad.
Those threats were exacerbated by COVID-19, which spawned conspiracy theories and deepened anger at the government in some quarters over the shutdown of the economy. As virus conditions improve, the alert says new dangers loom.
“Violent extremists may seek to exploit the easing of COVID-19-related restrictions across the United States to conduct attacks against a broader range of targets after previous public capacity limits reduced opportunities for lethal attacks,” the bulletin said.
Without naming any specific potential targets, it notes that, historically, extremists motivated by racial and ethnic hatred have targeted religious institutions and businesses or gatherings.
The National Terrorism Advisory System bulletin issued by the Department of Homeland Security is an extension of one issued earlier this year in the wake of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. That alert was due to expire Saturday.
It reflects a sense of anxiety over domestic extremists, particularly those motivated by racial and ethnic hatred, that has been building for months, even under the previous administration, with repeated warnings from DHS and the Justice Department.

Oh, wait.
These are Democrats...
Antifa, BLM, 100 years later.
Setting stage for blame shifting and deflection
For the upcoming false flag they will then use to demonize more of their enemies
Yep, the covid virus has kept the terrorists home. But now that restrictions have lifted, watch out. Or maybe it has nothing to do with Covid and everything to do with the fear of Trump keeping them home.
Good thing Democrats can never be extremists.
domestic terrorists are vaccinated and ready to go.
right.
This doesn’t make any sense.
Notice the language the AP carefully uses, ‘domestic’.
Which implies what exactly to the average American slob?
The DemoNazis desperately want people to believe that white people are the “extremists” while ignoring BurnLootMurder and antifa who are REAL terrorists. Hell, they even fit the classical definition of terrorism.
Terrorism - the unlawful use of violence or threats to intimidate or coerce a civilian population or government, with the goal of furthering political, social, or ideological objectives.
Of course.
Freedom looks like extremism to these people?
Tune in next week for the Coming of the Locusts!
I respect their right to peaceably assemble. But if a couple of them got the crap beat out of them, I wouldn’t mind. A couple of those Democrats probably really deserved a good whompin’ and a’whoopin’
The guy who shot Steve Scalise was a domestic terrorist. And a rabid Bernie supporter.
Reverting to our normal levels of freedom we’ve always had, is going to be turned into a false flage event to take freedom away from people even more by these orwellian totalitarians.

Creating excuses to ramp up oppression...

They’ve got to keep THE FEAR going. It distracts from election audits and that sort of thing.
The only problem for “them” is no one but the Associated Press believes a word “they” say anymore.
Remember when the US warned us that right wing extremists were going to take over all 50 state capitols during Biden’s inauguration?
What actually happened told us all we need to know about the state of right wing extremism, as well as the validity of these false flag warnings from “the US.”
