Biden’s Domestic War On Terrorism May Seek To Criminalize Political Dissent

The Biden administration is planning to use the full force of the federal government in pursuit of a new war. Its target? American citizens.

This countering “domestic violent extremism” effort, declared in the wake of the latest Capitol riot, represents the real-world counterpart to the corporate media rhetoric about the need to “deprogram,” “de-ba’athify,” and drone the Deplorables (see the latest episode of “BAD NEWS” below for more on the ongoing information operation).

If this is a dangerous political witch hunt masquerading as a national security imperative, it should disturb every American. Half of the country could potentially be ensnared as would-be if not actual terrorists.

In a new piece at The Federalist, I explore what the administration is planning, who is doing the planning, and what the dangers are for all Americans.

As I conclude, in this charged and hysterical political environment, we should be all the more concerned about the threats to our freedom—particularly given a national security regime that has already shown itself to be hyper-politicized at the highest levels, that would now be armed with vastly expanded domestic powers.
