We're All Terrorists Now
The desperation to keep control is palpable
It’s probably inevitable that as government grows to a certain size, it begins to violate the rights of the people. (Many of my friends would argue this happens immediately) Generally, they try to crack down on dissent, offering the feeblest of excuses. For example, check out this “National Terrorism Advisory System” bulletin:
Key factors contributing to the current heightened threat environment include:
The proliferation of false or misleading narratives, which sow discord or undermine public trust in U.S. government institutions:
For example, there is widespread online proliferation of false or misleading narratives regarding unsubstantiated widespread election fraud and COVID-19.
Nobody has done more to undermine public trust in US Government instructions more than those institutions themselves. Their complete failure is the entire reason that people are looking elsewhere for information that matches reality. I certainly didn’t want to spend two years of my life digging into the official data that directly contradicts the official narrative, but here we are.
If this is your first trip to the ‘subversive’ list, welcome aboard! But also sort of shame on you for it taking this long! :)
I wonder if there was any sort of similar NTAS bulletin that went out during the summer of 2020, warning about protestors in the streets railing against the government………
I reject their nonsense and violation of the Bill of Rights.
Yep, it definitely starts right away. See the Sedition Act of 1798, which criminalized making 'false statements' critical of the federal government -- only ten years after the FedGov came into existence via the Constitution.
No, it's definitely not my first time. :)
