Last Friday, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas declared white supremacists and “domestic violent extremism” to be the “most prominent threat” currently facing our country. The timing could not have been more perfect. Just hours later, a jury in Grand Rapids, Michigan exposed the Justice Department’s largest alleged “domestic terrorism” case of the last 18 months as a failed FBI entrapment scheme to smear conservatives as white supremacists ahead of the 2020 election.
By refusing to convict four men accused of plotting to kidnap and kill Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer before Election Day 2020, the Grand Rapids jury seemed to side with defense attorneys who argued their clients were not domestic terrorists, but entrapped by undercover FBI agents and at least a dozen informants who planned and funded the kidnapping operation.
“The key to the government’s plan was to turn general discontent with Gov. Whitmer’s COVID-19 restrictions into a crime that could be prosecuted,” defense lawyers wrote in a joint motion. “The government picked what it knew would be a sensational charge: conspiracy to kidnap the governor. When the government was faced with evidence showing that the defendants had no interest in a kidnapping plot, it refused to accept failure and continued to push its plan.”
The FBI’s governor-kidnaping hoax demonstrates just how serious federal law enforcement agencies are about pursuing domestic extremists, even if it means the alleged threat originates in Washington, D.C. or FBI field offices.
Mayorkas’s doubling-down on the threat of white supremacists, even in light of DOJ’s failure in Michigan, is a result of the time and resources the Biden administration and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have dedicated to fighting this perceived threat instead of actual threats, such as the massive migrant surge expected to overwhelm U.S. borders next month.
In his first address to Congress, President Joe Biden cited “white supremacist terrorism” as the “most lethal terrorist threat to the homeland today.”
In March 2021, DHS and the FBI issued a joint memo warning that “domestic extremists” were ramping up to “take control of the U.S. Capitol and remove democratic lawmakers on or about the 4th of March.” Nothing happened on March 4.
In June 2021, DHS issued a warning, without evidence, that the centennial commemoration of the Tulsa Race Massacre might be a target of extremism. Nothing happened that day either.
That same month, the Biden White House issued a “fact sheet“ entitled the “National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism.” It claimed that “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists who advocate for the superiority of the white race” are a top domestic terror threat facing America.
This “white supremacist” drumbeat was just the precursor to the creation of a new “domestic terrorism unit,” the Justice Department announced it was forming in January this year. Of course, we experienced a similar overaction in the Bush-era, when DHS was created to protect us all from another 9/11, which also led to the kinds of mass surveillance and accusations of FBI entrapment that we are witnessing now.
If the Whitmer case is any indication, this type of hyperfocus will incentivize federal law enforcement to go to whatever lengths necessary when investigating potential domestic extremists, no matter how overstated the risk.
Hey now, those moms “confronting “ school officials by Denouncing crt during meetings are more dangerous than the taliban and al queda put together!
Gee, I wonder if there’s any correlation with this post:

Department of Justice becoming the Department of Jussie?
“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.” - H.L. Mencken
We can’t find whitey, but we know he’s bad.
White supremacy is not the issue in America, but White LIBERAL DEGENERACY!! Ie a negativist form of white moral supremacism
Moreover it eggs amongst white liberals a suspicion of blacks, just as the PC AIDS embrace of gays reverberated into their COVID lockdown urgencies, completely paranoiac of viruses.
Last, but not least, a political supremacist is a degenerate, hence white liberals degenerates are the precursors to the white nationalism that will occur once the racial distancing crisis of distrust occurs at the time the government will take over
Racism and government have always been in lockstep because the former foments a people to people distrust resulting in domination of the latter
The absurdity of the left gets more glaring by the minute! What an utter clown show these people are!
What kind of plan does Mayorkas have if & when any REAL threats to Homeland Security come up? Such as the one that already exists. If they use horses on the southern border, maybe Mayorkas could get a job at the horse stables. He doesn’t appear to have much going for him in his present capacity.
The Federales have terrorists to investigate - BLM and Antifa.
But for some reason (*snort*) they won’t take action.
There are plenty of whiteys in BLM and Antifa.
They’re only looking for certain whiteys.
Another Obama carryover as early as his transition team----The guy's a total open border guy...He implemented the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) process in sixty days.
This guys parents are loaded with various nationalities - Romania, Cuban, Turkish, Greek. But he was born in Cuba. Parents immigrants to Us.
By sending their Alphabet Agency GloboHomoNazi Thug Assassination Squads to the Homes of Politically Opposing, Law Abiding, Innocent American Patriots to provoke violence.
Speech is violence to the establishment Left if it opposes their narrative, and they portray it as terrorism. Free speech has always been a problem for their agenda, probably the biggest one. How they wish we were more like countries with no first amendment.
The Feds Are So Desperate For A Great Economy, They’re Fabricating It......................
Hey now, those moms “confronting “ school officials by Denouncing crt during meetings are more dangerous than the taliban and al queda put together!>>> To the commies they are because they undermine their philosophical basis.
Agreed. Which is why they are hiding all the relevant information about Jan6. Holding up the narrative as long as possible. I wonder if the GOP has enough balls if they take over Congress at the midterms to release all the data including the involvement of the FBI, the planning by the Dems etc. pardon those convicted of BS ‘crimes and compensate them for their losses, and incriminate and charge the gov officials of conspiracy against the American public.
Somehow, I doubt it. The Hill is just such a festering swamp.
It baffles me how the feds can ignore true domestic terrorist organizations
like ANTIFA and BLM, and think the populace won’t notice.
Then they go to the trouble of pulling this nonsense.
Truly idiots first class.
