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………
Interesting note:
In 1987, the Supreme Court struck down a Houston ordinance prohibiting verbal abuse of police officers, declaring that "the freedom of individuals verbally to oppose or challenge police action without thereby risking arrest is one of the principal characteristics by which we distinguish a free nation from a police state."
As someone in the security sphere, I don't recall any kind of similar notice when BLM and Antifa were reigning with blood and horror on the cities in the US. Mostly logistical bulletins.
