The Department of Homeland Security issued a warning on Friday: believers in the false conspiracy theory that Trump will be reinstated have increased their calls for violence if the former president isn’t back in the White House soon.
“Some conspiracy theories associated with reinstating former President Trump have included calls for violence if desired outcomes are not realized,” the DHS bulletin, obtained by ABC News, said.
The bulletin went on to say that the recent increase in “public visibility” of liars like the My Pillow guy, Mike Lindell, is the reason for the uptick in violent online chatter.
Lindell continues to relentlessly push the Big Lie that the election was stolen, going so far as to say that he expects the Supreme Court to unanimously rule in favor of reinstating Trump as president in August.
“Over the last few days what has occurred is there’s been much more public visibility, meaning the discussions and these theories have migrated away from being contained within the conspiracy and extremist online communities, to where they’re being the topic of discussion on web forums, or more public web forums, and even within the sort of media ecosystem,” a senior DHS official told ABC News.
The drunk-on-Trump crowd has been triggered so much that Homeland Security says they are concerned about the calls for violence increasing further.
“As public visibility of the narratives increases, we are concerned about more calls to violence… Past circumstances have illustrated that calls for violence could expand rapidly in the public domain and may be occurring outside of publicly available channels. As such, lone offenders and small groups of individuals could mobilize to violence with little-to-no warning,” the bulletin said.
The DHS added that although they do not have specifics of an imminent threat, their “reporting indicates that the timing for these activities may occur during August 2021, although we lack information on specific plots or planned actions.”
Also on Friday, the U.S. Capitol Police said they were aware of an upcoming rally at the Capitol that a former data chief for Trump’s 2016 campaign, Matt Braynard, is promoting. Appearing on Steve Bannon’s podcast, Braynard talked about the #JusticeForJ6 rally, which is planned for September 18, in support of people who have been arrested in connection with the January 6th attack. “We’re going back to the Capitol, right where it started. And it’s going to be huge,” Braynard told Bannon.
Mind the Southern Border, a-holes.
Rolling Stone and Ultimate Classic Rock...
Mags, like most others these days, are operated by cunning stunts. They’re prolly nasty too.
Some bitch from UCR was raggin’ on Eric Clapton... WTF?
Yupper! The "kidnap Her Highness" caper in Michigan would be the big news if the lead FBI guy hadn't gotten himself arrested for a felony. So they're tooling up to start over.
Let’s try it their way..”They said without evidence.”
and yet they are silent about what the covidiots are planning to do to the unvaxxed
In Chicago this past month, 622 people were shot and 110 killed. I can guarantee you that not one of the shooters was a Trump supporter.
Even if every word of this was true, how would it be any different than Antifa, which has been allowed to run amok for going on two years?
Rolling Stone. The magazine that published as news the completely fake story about rapes at a fraternity house at the University of Virginia a few years ago.
I find this hard to believe.
What’s weird is that I saw thousands of people burning cities and merchandise last year. Unless the merchandise was looted first.
That was the most wide-spread, multi-city domestic terrorism I’ve ever seen.
Seems like that would have been the first priority, but hey, I was just seeing it on TV and stuff.
Is there even a sliver of truth, in one single word, in that entire screed?
OMG, they’re right!! Here it is. being discussed on FR.
I guess we’re not die hard enough.
Exactly.
Just like Jan. 6th.
The government must all have clean brains. They have been thoroughly washed.
Those were not the droids you were looking for.
We are not violent, Peter, but it would certainly be justified because of YOU and all of your nonsense.
The MAN, President Donald J Trump WON THE ELECTION.
And no amount of your ridiculing it will stop the truth.
You, and all that you stand for, is a JOKE.
