The bulletin, issued Monday and in effect until at least June 7, blamed an
"online environment filled with false or misleading narratives and conspiracy theories, and other forms of mis-, dis- and mal-information introduced and/or amplified by foreign and domestic threat actors.Further along in the bulletin, DHS topped its list of
"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. Mass casualty attacks and other acts of targeted violence conducted by lone offenders and small groups acting in furtherance of ideological beliefs and/or personal grievances pose an ongoing threat to the nation."
"[k]ey factors contributing to the current heightened threat environment" with the message: 'There is widespread online proliferation of false or misleading narratives regarding unsubstantiated widespread election fraud and COVID-19. Grievances associated with these themes inspired violent extremist attacks during 2021.'"The bulletin did not give specific examples of such attacks.
"The months preceding the upcoming 2022 midterm elections could provide additional opportunities for these extremists and other individuals to call for violence directed at democratic institutions, political candidates, party offices, election events, and election workers."The document also warned that
"COVID-19 mitigation measures — particularly COVID-19 vaccine and mask mandates — have been used by domestic violent extremists to justify violence since 2020 and could continue to inspire these extremists to target government, healthcare, and academic institutions that they associate with those measures."Again, it did not give specific examples.
Conservative podcast host Liz Wheeler responded to the new bulletin Tuesday by accusing the White House of "weaponizing DHS." She tweeted:
"DHS declares heightened alert ... despite the threat environment not being different than a year ago. So why now? Well, the easiest person to deplatform is a terrorist ... So DHS labels those questioning the left's covid narrative as terrorists.
"Welcome to your communist future. You may not criticize the govt or you will be imprisoned. That is the logical conclusion of this hideous document."
I've read the document and what I get from it is: Anyone who questions any government narrative and challenges others to do the same is now labeled a terrorist in the eyes of the State. That also tells me that "The State" is and always has been a lawless, corrupt entity that has no legitimacy over my life and the way I choose to live it.
Now; I can say, I've proudly earned that label they've designated for those like me.
Fuck all you weak minded, feeble fuckers who willingly offer yourselves up as pawns, influencers and enforcers of this devilish agenda.
To my tribe on the path of Truth, love & freedom...I love you all!
