On June 16th, I posted an article<\/a> about Biden administration’s plan “to create ways for Americans to report radicalized friends and family to the government, in an effort to fight domestic terrorism.” I am sure that the idea that your family and neighbors (or children for that matter) could report you for anything you say will help bring Americans together ((note sarcasm).<\/p>\n

Well, it’s getting worse.<\/p>\n

Yesterday The Daily Caller<\/a> reported the following:<\/p>\n

The FBI took to Twitter Sunday to encourage families to watch out for \u201chomegrown violent extremism.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cFamily members and peers are often best <\/strong>positioned to witness signs of mobilization to violence. Help prevent homegrown violent extremism,\u201d the FBI\u2019s tweet<\/a> read in part.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Family members and peers are often best positioned to witness signs of mobilization to violence. Help prevent homegrown violent extremism. Visit https:\/\/t.co\/bql36iSbig<\/a> to learn how to spot suspicious behaviors and report them to the #FBI<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the tweet:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The article continues:<\/p>\n

The link included in the tweet takes readers to the 2019 edition of the Homegrown Violent Extremism Mobilization Indicators report.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The report separates extremism into three groups based on whether the action is highly, moderately, or minimally diagnostic on its own.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Behaviors that are considered highly diagnostic include taping a martyrdom video or last will, preparing travel in order to join a terrorist group, or \u201ccommunicating intent to engage in violent extremist activity,\u201d especially on social media.

In June, Attorney General Merrick Garland said<\/a> white supremacy was the greatest \u201cdomestic violent extremist threat\u201d facing the U.S. as he announced President Joe Biden\u2019s National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is frightening. We currently have an open southern border allowing members of MS-13 and other violent gangs to enter America and the FBI is worried about politically incorrect opinions being expressed on social media. Wow.<\/p>\n

I realize that a lot of this is a reaction to what happened on January 6th, when some unarmed people forced their way into the Capitol. However, I firmly believe that January 6th is being used as an excuse to shut down any opposition to the current administration–on social media or elsewhere. We have watched the media censor news they didn’t like (Hunter’s laptop, election fraud, coronavirus deaths in nursing homes in various states, etc.). What is being proposed here is the next step to creating a one-party government which punishes political dissent.<\/p>\n

Yesterday The Epoch Times<\/a> noted:<\/p>\n

Richard Grenell, a former acting director of national intelligence, wrote that the FBI\u2019s tweet \u201cis outrageous\u201d because the agency \u201chas a growing credibility problem and this type of sinister snitching is clearly unhelpful.\u201d\u00a0Several Republican lawmakers also criticized the tweet, saying the FBI is encouraging Americans\u2019 family members to spy on one another.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIn both Cuba & China, they also ask children to spy on their parents,\u201d Sen. Ted Cruz<\/a> (R-Texas) wrote.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rep. Dan Bishop<\/a> (R-Texas) wrote: \u201cThese people protected Hillary, abused NSA surveillance databases against Americans, used known, unreliable DNC-funded propaganda to spy on Trump, perpetuated the Russia hoax, & lied to the FISC repeatedly. And now they tell you that you should spy on your family.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not clear if the FBI posted the tweet in reference to the Biden administration\u2019s campaign against \u201cdomestic violent extremists\u201d or the longstanding intelligence operations against Islamist terror groups. Officials at the agency didn\u2019t respond to a request by The Epoch Times for comment by press time.<\/strong><\/p>\n
