DHS issues heightened terror threat citing 'mis- dis- and mal-information' on election fraud and COVID-19: Bulletin sounds precisely like a prelude to a totalitarian crackdown on political dissent.

The Department of Homeland Security issued a bulletin on Tuesday that sounds precisely like a prelude to a totalitarian crackdown on political dissent from the preferred narratives of the Biden regime and the Deep State. Read the opening of the summary:

The United States remains in a heightened threat environment fueled by several factors, including an online environment filled with false or misleading narratives and conspiracy theories, and other forms of mis- dis- and mal-information (MDM) introduced and/or amplified by foreign and domestic threat actors. These threat actors seek to exacerbate societal friction to sow discord and undermine public trust in government institutions to encourage unrest, which could potentially inspire acts of violence.

Translation: Criticize us, and you are encouraging terrorism. The obvious corollary is that you, who dare disagree with the regime, are a terroristic threat.

The very first point made in the body ("key factors contributing to the current heightened threat environment") of the bulletin continues this emphasis on dissenting voices (such as those often seen on these pages).

The proliferation of false or misleading narratives, which sow discord or undermine public trust in U.S. government institutions:
For example, there is widespread online proliferation of false or misleading narratives regarding unsubstantiated widespread election fraud and COVID-19. Grievances associated with these themes inspired violent extremist attacks during 2021.

It then claims that foreign forces use these dissenting voices:

Malign foreign powers have and continue to amplify these false or misleading narratives in efforts to damage the United States.

The implication is obvious: disagreement with official narratives is treasonous.

As a friend of mine put it in an email, "it takes real chutzpah for Homeland Security to put out this kind of warning given its total dereliction of its duty to secure our borders."

“the supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”

“the prerequisite to victory is ‘to make proper preparations in the enemy’s camp so that the result is decided beforehand.’ Thus the former Chief of the General Staff of the Red Army” continued “in a remarkable paraphrase of Sun Tzu: ‘the victorious army attacks a demoralized and defeated enemy.’”

“the skillful strategist should be able to subdue the enemy’s army without engaging it, to take his cities without laying siege to them, and to overthrow his State without bloodying swords.”

“In Sun Tzu’s view, the army was the instrument which delivered the coup de grâce to an enemy previously made vulnerable. Prior to hostilities, secret agents separated the enemy’s allies from him and conducted a variety of clandestine activities against him. Among their missions were to spread false rumors and misleading information, to corrupt and subvert officials, to create and exacerbate internal discord, and to nurture Fifth Columns. Meanwhile spies at all levels ascertained the enemy at all levels. On their reports, ‘victorious’ plans were based.”

“He did not conceive war in terms of slaughter and destruction; to take all intact, or as nearly intact as possible, was the proper objective of strategy.”
