DHS Bulletin "Summary of Terrorism Threat to the US"

"Homeland Security has issued a new National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Bulletin regarding the current heightened threat environment across the United States. The Homeland continues to face a diverse and challenging threat environment leading up to and following the 20th Anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks as well religious holidays we assess could serve as a catalyst for acts of targeted violence. These threats include those posed by domestic terrorists, individuals and groups engaged in grievance-based violence, and those inspired or motivated by foreign terrorists and other malign foreign influences. These actors are increasingly exploiting online forums to influence and spread violent extremist narratives and promote violent activity. Such threats are also exacerbated by impacts of the ongoing global pandemic, including grievances over public health safety measures and perceived government restrictions."

"Through the remainder of 2021, racially- or ethnically-motivated violent extremists (RMVEs) and anti-government/anti-authority violent extremists will remain a national threat priority for the United States. These extremists may seek to exploit the emergence of COVID-19 variants by viewing the potential re-establishment of public health restrictions across the United States as a rationale to conduct attacks. Pandemic-related stressors have contributed to increased societal strains and tensions, driving several plots by domestic violent extremists, and they may contribute to more violence this year."

"Foreign and domestic threat actors, to include foreign intelligence services, international terrorist groups and domestic violent extremists, continue to introduce, amplify, and disseminate narratives online that promote violence, and have called for violence against elected officials, political representatives, government facilities, law enforcement, religious communities or commercial facilities, and perceived ideologically-opposed individuals. There are also continued, non-specific calls for violence on multiple online platforms associated with DVE ideologies or conspiracy theories on perceived election fraud..., and responses to anticipated restrictions relating to the increasing COVID cases."

LOL,

This is Obama part III.

Obama headed the same way. It was Bubba with a pickup truck and shotgun that was the threat.

1. All these government agencies and departments coordinate and take on the character/priorities of their senior leaders.

2. All of the senior leaders in these government agencies and departments, are POLITICAL APPOINTEES, and one to two levels down from them, the senior executive bureaucrats are hand picked by these appointees.

3. The government is by it’s very nature more liberal, because the liberals are all about big budgets and big growth for government, may it be education, health and human services, social security, the IRS, parks, EPA... Only in law enforcement and defense do you have a more conservative view or even a lot of folks that will vote more conservative, but most of the government is “liberal.”

4. The House controls the budget and all these government agencies are chasing the money. Do not be fooled, in the end, even the “war on drugs” or “global warming” are just about budgets and funding for programs: https://history.house.gov/institution/origins-development/power-of-the-purse/#:~:text=Congress%E2%80%94and%20in%20particular%2C%20the,money%20for%20the%20national%20government. These government agencies are not independent. They are controlled by the power of the purse.

***Don’t expect even a semblance of objectivity, neutrality, pragmatism, consistency, empirically based logical decision making.***

Whatever the spirit of the times are, from wherever the winds blow, that will be what the “experts” in government will echo and they will create the science or intel which leads them to where they want to go anyhow, may it be: WMD in Iraq, the dangers of marijuana (made up science), global warming which wasn’t and now is real (more made up science), Islamic terrorism which no longer exists, but domestic terrorism which is a vast threat today, the link of homosexuality to pedophilia pre 1993 and now it no longer exists... Wanna bet the DOJ will soon teach us about the dangers of guns and throw all these numbers around, which will be about as real as those numbers for Covid deaths, or the effectiveness of the vaccine...?

It would be sort of funny were it not that there are real consequences for people and our nation et al.

That’s Comcast that posted the intimidating BS

It’s the “calls for violence” that gives the a-holes a way to parade their warnings.

Similar warnings could be made about threatening opposition to the availability of kangaroo meat at the grocery store.

The election was stolen, the “siege” was staged, and the Marxist predators are going after the Country’s children in the name of COVID.
