New DOJ 'domestic terrorist' unit targets 'anti-authority ideologies' Top official tells Senate 'we have seen a growing threat'

At a Senate hearing Tuesday titled "Domestic Terrorism Threat One Year After January 6," Assistant Attorney General Matthew Olsen explained why he created a new unit focused on domestic terrorism.

"We have seen a growing threat from those who are motivated by racial animus, as well as those who ascribe to extremist anti-government and anti-authority ideologies," Olsen said.

Olsen affirmed that the events that occurred on Jan. 6 are being investigated as acts of domestic terrorism.

At the hearing, Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, pointed out that 75% of domestic terrorism cases during the Summer 2020 riots were attributed to "anarchist Extremism" which he noted is "the FBI's term for Antifa."

The hearing came after Attorney General Merrick Garland declared on the one-year anniversary of the Jan. 6 riot that the Justice Department has only begun to take action against "January 6 perpetrators."

Don't care to have the vax? You could be on the doh-J 1/6 terrorist watch list. Sadly, as in the mid 1930's, it appears there are plenty of folks willing to work with the doh-J, just as the brown shirts did. The clockwise swirl is accelerating.

Remember the old “Question Authority” bumper stickers from the 70’s. Yeah, that idea is dead.

Apparently they’ve been observed massing at the NY city limits for an all out assault. At least according to the newest useless mare of NYC. You know the one that appointed his brother as some sort of head LEO for the city. The increase of the WS threat is ever present. You can see the dunce caps from the empire state building.

“Anti-authority ideologies” That is one big net! After the consolidation of power following the Reichstag Fire Hitler changed his authoritarian enforcers from private, the SA to official state organs, Gestapo. Our regime is following the same course, Antifa/BLM to post ReichCapitol FBI/DOJ.

yes when they dole out health care based on skin color, it tends to irritate the ones at the end of the line

Our nation was founded with and due to anti- government and anti-authority sentiment.

These people look at us like they look at livestock. They can’t stand that we don’t just obey every whim. They want to take us out.

The tories are lashing out at the patriots. History repeats itself.

“WHO“?

Exactly. Point to these phantoms. Produce them. Show us all of the results of your investigations into them. They never do. They simply refer to them as if they are in plain sight and everyone can see them.

So - will they investigate Hillary and Obama who encouraged anti-government efforts while Trump was in office?

Will they investigate BLM? AntiFa?

Teachers Unions?

No - they’re only going after one political party.

“We have seen a growing threat”

Of what...Republican electoral victories?

The recent “trial” of the McMichael family in Georgia featured armed black militias parading through their home town in addition to ringing the courthouse with armed men.

Not a fed in sight. Probably were embedded with the NFAC intimidators.

That who lil’ Matt is supposedly worried about?

Or maybe the Animal House ROTC unit known as Patriot Front. That sure looks like anti-authoitah racial animusators! Uh huh.

Why did this dickhead get ANY airtime in the Senate without being laughed out of the room?

He’s obviously Garfinkel’s stooge for phony set ups of the Right, just another NKVD trap man. Probably Ray Epp’s handler, got promoted.

Whatta a low brow comedy show.

But the Kenosha mass murderer wasn’t a racist terrorist, just a lost driver.

‘anti-authority’

since they definitely don’t mean the chaz / antifa / BLM rioting crowd, this sounds like code phrase for people against big govt

i wonder if these people understand the ‘authority’ in America rests with the people.
