We are going to see in the next 20 years that terrorism is indeed sometimes a necessary and valid response to people in charge. We could argue this issue back and forth all day but I've always believed this, going way back to our meddling in the middle east by the neocons. When you have people in charge criminalizing speech, you have no choice but to use violence. Period.

In nature the strong survive. Do you want to live with the current ruling elite pushing you around? If not, you form splinter groups and take them on. It's happened all the time in the history of our species. Sometimes governments get overthrown from it. There's no right or wrong to it... it's genetic destiny playing out. May the strongest side win! It's not the outcome of the game I care about, I'm more fascinated by watching the different sides go at it, each side thinking they are so right in their viewpoints, when they are all a bunch of monkeys throwing feces at one another.

Fear, fear and more fear.

If I hadn't clicked on the article and then on the link to the actual bulletin, I would have dismissed this as just more crazy talk from WACKO alt-right sources.

Unfortunately, it is true, and YES, all freedom-loving Americans do have reason to fear -- but not from those places that the Biden administration is warning us about.

PLEASE VOTE REPUBLICAN IN 2024 -- that is, of course, if the Republican Party hasn't been disbanded as a terrorist organization because they don't agree with the policies of the current administration.

So, any dissenting opinion from the Biden Administration has been labeled as a "terrorism threat".....

Is there any Department that the Biden Administration hasn't weaponized?

From the article: "Any proliferating “narratives” the Biden administration deems “false or misleading” qualifies as a “terrorism threat” according to a recent National Terrorism Advisory System bulletin released by the Biden administration’s DHS, and has received sharp backlash online after warning that Americans are expressing unwelcome beliefs on issues such as the Chinese coronavirus and election fraud pose “an ongoing threat to the nation.”

Once again, who decides what is misinformation and what isn't?
Donald Trump?

Eh, the Republicans from Nixon to Bush are the reasons we are in this mess to begin with.

Hasn't this pandemic shown you that our government wants only ONE voice...just like China.

The US is at the early stages...censoring and banning. I don't think we're hauling off people to "disappear" yet.

The real reason we are where we are today is because people stopped caring about WHO was running and were led to care about which Party to vote for.

A government is a reflection of it's people. It's the people that put politicians in office.

Take a good look at Congress...both parties. How do some of these people get voted in over and over and over.

One thinks she lived during the Civil War and is a freed slave now.
Another asked if an island would tip over.
Then we have the new bunch of young Progressives that just want to rip up all the laws and start all over again with their version.

WE the people sent them to DC.

Agree. There are extremists on both sides and if people really want to get as close to the truth as possible, they will read the actual article & make up their own minds rather than dismissing it because of breitbart.

From some of the comments in this thread so far, it's apparent which ones can't be bothered to check out the link before automatically writing it off. The gaslighting of this country is off the rails. It's appalling.

Americans have been conditioned..which news sites to trust and which to call "fake".
They won't read the story. They won't go looking for other sources.
Just declare "fake news" and forget about it.

That is how this country will fall...from within.

So no one should have a different opinions or ideas and must comply and be in one thought and follow our leader without question. We should be like the borg on Star Trek the next generation.
