New in PJ Media:
In a National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin issued on Wednesday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced portentously that “the United States remains in a heightened threat environment.” It seems that “lone offenders and small groups motivated by a range of ideological beliefs and/or personal grievances continue to pose a persistent and lethal threat to the Homeland.” Yet while the DHS claims to be tracking terror threats from people with a “range of ideological beliefs,” it is especially concerned “threat actors could exploit several upcoming events to justify or commit acts of violence, including certifications related to the midterm elections” and “the marking of two years since the breach of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.” The message is clear: DHS is going to devote its resources to the alleged terror threat coming from those who dissent from the Leftist establishment line. Meanwhile, the agency plans to release Afghan Muslim criminals into the United States. The priorities of Biden’s handlers’ “counterterror” apparatus are all too clear.
DHS warned that “targets of potential violence” include “the LGBTQI+ community” and “racial and religious minorities,” as well as “government facilities and personnel” and “perceived ideological opponents.” Clearly, these “terrorism experts” have in mind the Leftist stereotype of someone who rejects the dominant Leftist ideology: anti-gay, racist, opposed to the government as long as Joe Biden or others like him are in the White House, and determined to do violence to those they hate. The genuine terror threat of the Leftists who rioted all over the country in the summer of 2020, causing billions of dollars in damage, is completely ignored: DHS doesn’t even contemplate the existence of terrorists who are aggressively pro-LGBTQI+, ostentatiously anti-racist (or at least claim to be), and love Joe Biden’s authoritarian America-Last regime.
And aside from one mention in the DHS bulletin of an Islamic State (ISIS) plot, likewise ignored is the jihad terror threat, particularly in connection with the tens of thousands of Afghans the Biden regime has brought into the country. The Washington Times reported on Oct. 30, 2022, that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) isn’t sending Afghan evacuees who have been convicted of crimes back to Afghanistan. In March 2022, DHS “announced Temporary Protected Status, effectively a deportation amnesty, for Afghans who were in the U.S. by March. Under TPS, the administration concluded that Afghanistan was too mired in chaos to accept returning nationals.”
Tom Homan, who ran ICE during the Trump administration, explained that instead, these criminals are likely to end up free inside the U.S.: “Under a 2001 Supreme Court ruling, ICE has a limit on the length of detention for immigrants. What is known as the Zadvydas ruling said immigration detention is an administrative procedure meant to facilitate deportation. If the government has no firm prospect of deportation after six months and cannot show exceptional national security or public safety reasons, then the person should be freed.” This includes even convicted rapists and child molesters.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Years back, when I was taking multiple courses on anti-terrorism, there was no mention of those who had a different political belief which did not include any violence or threats of violence.
This current, so-called “administration,” is not playing according to the Law and not being honest…lying in the extreme…in order to 1 make people afraid to disagree 2 make the uninformed come to hate and fear those who speak out against the tyranny so these will take action against those they fear and hate and 3 for those who keep speaking out against the lies and tyranny take some action that will seem to warrant action by the corrupt. something as simple as a protest (recall Jan 6) against the government’s actions and further control, further abuse of their *authority* and further shredding of the Constitution and denial of rights. Even a simple thing like saying they have the Religious Right to say what they believe is going against the commands of Jesus Christ….like the lady in Denver….puts them at the mercy of law enforcement.
somehistory says
addition: there are groups who have been mentioned in older documents and texts, but they are generally groups, such as the Sovereign Citizens, who don’t recognize laws, such as buying a license plate to drive. etc., but which are generally not violent and just want to be left alone.
as individuals and groups may be today….not violent…just want to live as they have been for decades. Obeying the laws, taking care of their families, and expecting the government to be honest…or at the very least…lawful in their activities and policies.

This is a very slippery slope, Deciding what is dissent is a bit lie someone deciding that something is hate speech.
What the DHS is in fact doing is the elimination of any differing points of view and trying to ban any and all debate about the direction of the nation.
VERY Orwellian.

There’s an old British nursery rhyme song entitled “All the word turned upside down.”
That song very much applies to the US Department of Homeland Security which had become to warped and corrupted by the politically correct philosophy of the far-left wing, which also included the infiltration of the Red /Green alliance, that the DHS slanderously calls non-violent conservative patriots “domestic terrorists..
This absurdity isn’t what the government security was supposed to be designed for. The DHS was created after September 11, 2001 in order to legally detect , observe and gather information and act on genuine dangers and threats to the to the safely and lives to the American citizens for menacing and deadly jihadist terrorists calls in America , mainly al Qaeda and then later the other jihad entity that al Qaeda gave birth to which is ISIS.
Likewise if the DHS would be doing its duty and job it would also recognize and investigate those disruptive malicious and even murderous Marxist organizations ,namely Antifa and Black Lives Matter which falsely masquerade as “civil rights groups” The members of that horrendously violent dangerous and deadly Marxist groups are the real , actual, domestic terrorists.
Walter Sieruk says
The actual violence that was started January 6, 2021 was by those Marxist hooligans of Antifa who had infiltrated the pro-Trump rally masquerading as “patriot’ to incite mayhem. That despicable ploy is an old low tactic of deception which is called a “false flag operation.” , they are the real domestic terrorists. . Those are the actual violent subversives that the Department of Homeland Security go after.
Any valid indictment that should be made ought to be made against those Antifa thugs who stated chaos as well as those Antifa leaders who took a bus full of his lawless Antifa stooge /operatives Into Washington DC in that to carry out their scheme masquerade as “patriots” to incite the less mature and impressionable patriots to also act up .
Walter Sieruk says
That the higher up’s in the Department of Homeland Security want to criminalize political dissent by the slanderous libel of labeling conservative good decent patriotic American who question if that 2020 Presidential election was actually a real ,non-rigged election. Likewise if it the DHS wants to so far in its leftist agenda that it called them as well as concerned Parents at local PTA meeting who object to their children being indoctrinated with CRT and WOKE under the guise of “education” as “domestic terrorists” is wrong , very wrong .
Still the DHS lets the real domestic terrorists, as of Antifa and BLM “off the hook” is also wrong very wrong.
This is reflection if the passage in the Bible which reads “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil.” Isaiah 5:20. [N.K.J.V.]
Walter Sieruk says
George Washington had ,wisely ,declared “If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led ,like sheep to the slaughter.”

Biden and his ilk are enemies of freedom, especially the First and Second Amendments to the American Constitution (the Fourth and Tenth Amendments big time too).
This betrayal of America—and that’s what this is— has its origins in that wretched decade, the 1960’s, but Obama took it to exponential lengths as he himself said he would, to wit, in 2008 after being elected President over the woeful John McCain averring that America was on the eve of a “fundamental transformation.”
Only fools or evil people would want to transform America, the greatest polity in human history, to something else—continue to improve it, yes, but fundamentally transform it, hell no. But Obama wanted this and said so—and he did his best to do so while President, including weaponizing federal agencies like the FBI and IRS to make life miserable for conservatives and conservative organizations. Obama also did something else that Trump never did when President and that is having journalists (or what passes for them today) monitored even though such journalists were already in starry mode, full compliance mode, with Obama—and yet Trump, who had plenty of the pathetic and deceitful MSM who attacked him daily (e.g., Jim Acosta and all of CNN) NEVER had any journalist monitored.
And now in Obama’s third term with the political hack, hollow man, corrupt man and dementia man as a stand-in for Obama’s third term, one Joe Biden (the “big guy”) since Obama is not officially allowed by the 22nd Amendment to have a third term, Obama and his cohorts like Rice and Klain found a way around this by promoting the now Puppet-in-Chief, Joe Biden, who has no center, no integrity, no nothing and will agree to anything his “masters” tell him to do.
America is drifting horribly so. One knows this or should know it. The root cause of this is the utter corruption of one of the two major political parties in America and the acquiescence by about half of the other major party in America (e.g., Mitch McConnell) just fine with the destruction of what the Founding Fathers of America established.
Ominous. Not just for America. Not just for the West. But for all the world. This is where we are in 2022. It is not a good place to be for America or for the West or for all of mankind. Obama, Biden and their ilk are presently in the process of making a mockery of what the Founding Fathers of America constructed. One knows this or should know it by now Sadly, so many don’t, or, even more sadly, so many do and are just fine with this.

“Christian conservative group denied service at Virginia restaurant as staff felt ‘unsafe'”
“A Christian and conservative nonprofit organization based in Richmond, Virginia, was rejected service at a restaurant due to its political beliefs.
Without mentioning the Family Foundation by name, the restaurant claims it canceled a scheduled event after the restaurant owners found out “it was a group of donors to a political organization that seeks to deprive women and LGBTQ+ persons of their basic human rights in Virginia.””

“Colorado argued that Smith’s website business qualifies as a public accommodation that required her to serve every member of the community, including creating custom webpages for same-sex couples that would be celebrating such unions, which violate her religious convictions.
Although the six Republican-appointed justices appeared to be swayed by Smith’s arguments, the three Democratic-appointed justices raised hypothetical arguments about how a ruling favoring Smith could extend further and allow vendors to refuse service on the basis of race.”
the fake “Justices”….brown and sotomayor…are idiots and don’t deserve such authority over anyone, much less an entire nation

And the libraries which give “story time” for kids over to perverts, seemingly with the “administration’s” blessing, prevent others from sharing wholesome works. As the parents in school board meetings were targeted, so too any who wish to support them and their kids.
