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."

The "growing threat" is the fascist left's ever more tyrannical actions. The response is what you would expect from freedom and liberty loving patriots. But in typical leftist fashion, we are labeled the bad guys and accused of exactly what they are doing!

Really? I cannot name one “anti Goverment” act of terrorism.

I can name hundreds of BLM/Antifa acts of terrorism that have not been prosecurted. Where is the DOJ in dealing with that clear and present danager?

Are they next going to accuse us of contagious drapetomania and confine us for society's safety?

Am I the only person whonhas ever read Alexandr Solzhenitsyn???

“It’s an universal law— intolerance is the first sign of an inadequate education. An ill-educated person behaves with arrogant impatience, whereas truly profound education breeds humility.” ― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn

“You only have power over people as long as you don’t take everything away from them. But when you’ve robbed a man of everything, he’s no longer in your power—he’s free again.” ― Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Двести лет вместе

“Unlimited power in the hands of limited people always leads to cruelty.” ― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

“In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousand fold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers, we are not simply protecting their trivial old age, we are thereby ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations.” ― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

So...

The majority of people (according to polls) who don’t agree with this administration — and by that definition are anti-authority — are now considered possible domestic terrorists.

This can’t end well...

You're welcome....Reading (or, re-reading) Alexandr Solzhenitsyn is a frightening reminder to all of us about just how crude, dangerous and dated Liberals’ agenda really IS.

His work also reminds us very graphically and dramatically about the damage that can be done, when people tolerate tyranny. And HE ought to know!!

What about the punk Antifa kid in Florida who who was intent of killing people at a rally last week, the weatherman. What about the protesters that storm the capitol during Kavanaugh’s hearing. It seems the DOJ turns a blind eye towards the lefts murderous and destructive traits and would rather target those who have been peaceful but are fed up with the current mess they have created.

The DOJ/FBI institution needs to be eliminated as they are not a God-fearing institution but rather follow the path of evil as directed by their puppet-master, the Prince of Lies.

What they really mean is they intend to take out anyone who believes in the constitution.

Our major metropolitan centers have become third world hell holes where you can’t even walk down the street. Real Americans know where the problem exists and they are fleeing from it in droves.
Remember the evil “gentrification” label whenever someone else moves into these neighborhoods to try to improve them? Well, no need to complain and worry about that little bugaboo anymore because nobody wants to be anywhere near these crime centers anymore.
