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:

It then claims that foreign forces use these dissenting voices:

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."

Remember how - in the run-up to the 2020 election - two or three dozen current and former security officials signed a letter claiming that stories of Hunter Biden’s various shenanigans were “Russian disinformation”? These liars are the same people accusing US of spreading misinformation.

BTW, I think the answer to the 3 hypotheticals is the same: The duty of the protagonist is
1) to survive,
2) get away from the oncoming trouble,
3) and find a way to PRESERVE the history.

Survive. Flee. Write.

I’m afraid the 2nd option is no longer available to us.

Tell me that isn't Communist rhetoric right there! All they have do is change "threat actors" to "reactionaries" and it be perfect.
