Bulletin with you so the bulletin starts off with the United States remains in a heightened threat environment fueled by several factors including an online environment filled with false or misleading narratives and conspiracy theories and other forms of Miss dis and Mal information MDM introduced and or Amplified by foreign and domestic threat
Actors okay so first of all remember this is a bulletin about domestic terrorist threats to the Homeland and they’re saying that we’re in a heightened threat environment because of what they label MDM Miss dis and Mal information which they’re saying could be spread by American citizens so that’s
You and me and if we spread what they label MDM we could be in hot terrorism water and when you click on it you get their definition of what each one is says misinformation is false but not created or shared with the intent of causing harm Mal information is based on
Fact but used out of context to mislead harm or manipulate disinformation is deliberately created to mislead harm or manipulate a person social group organization or country now the problem with MDM being labeled as potential terrorist threats is that the definitions of Miss dis and Mal information keep changing we’ve seen
This throughout the pandemic that many people have been labeled as spreading misinformation or conspiracy theories have been in fact right all along it was a conspiracy theory that there would be vaccine mandates it was misinformation to say that the vaccine doesn’t prevent spread the Department of Homeland
Security say people who spread MDM are possibly threat actors seeking to exacerbate societal friction to sow Discord and undermine public trust in government institutions to encourage unrest which could potentially Inspire acts of violence so they’re saying if you sow Discord and undermine public trust and a government institution like
CDC FDA the Pentagon or Congress that could lead to violence which could happen to let’s say during a protest to prevent this you could be labeled a terrorist threat if you’re found to be engaging in speech that undermines a government institution that could lead to any of these acts so if they think
Your words might lead to a protest against the government and that protest might then lead to a violent breakout which could happen at any protest you could be labeled domestic terrorists simply for dissenting by issuing this bulletin they’ve effectively given themselves the freedom to Halt any dissent they don’t like under the guise
Of it could lead to violence they’re saying it’s a domestic terrorist threat and we can’t have that I think many of us warned this was on the horizon when politicians and others in the media were calling for more to be done against misinformation I think some of us were
Mocked for saying the definition of terrorism is changing and the end result will be our own government going after anyone and everyone they deem to be morally inferior yet here we are the bulletin goes on to say the convergence of the following factors has increased the volatility on predictability and
Complexity of the threat environment the proliferation of false or misleading narratives which so Discord or undermine public trust in U.S government institutions again you’re putting yourself in the crosshairs if you sow Discord or undermine public trust in government institutions don’t talk bad about the government it goes on to say
The primary terrorism-related threat to the United States continues to stem from loan offenders or small cells of individual Jewels who are motivated by a range of foreign and or domestic grievances often cultivated through the consumption of certain online content so they’re saying it could just be you
You don’t need to be affiliated with a known Neo-Nazi group or some other flagged organization if you acting alone air grievances against the government that they deem to be potentially threatening you could be flagged as a domestic terrorist the bulletin continues for example there is widespread online proliferation of false
Or misleading narratives regarding unsubstantiated widespread election fraud and covid-19 grievances associated with these themes inspired violent extremist attacks during 2021. covid-19 mitigation measures particularly covid-19 vaccine and mass mandates have been used by domestic violent extremists to justify violence since 2020 and could continue to inspire these extremists to Target government health care and
Academic institutions that they associate with those measures now I understand that they’re talking probably about January 6 but besides angry parents at school board meetings and angry airline passengers I don’t remember there being any violent extremist attacks due to covid unless they’re talking about the and Whit were
Kidnapping plot which has been exposed to be mostly planned by the FBI of course it goes on to say malign foreign powers have and continue to amplify these false or misleading narratives and efforts to damage the United States so you see all of this missed this and Mal information is really being supported
And spread by probably Russia so if you’re an angry American spreading coveted disinformation online you’re most likely a Russian asset and that makes you dangerous to our national security lastly and what needs to be pointed out is it goes on to say DHS is working with public and private sector
Partners as well as foreign counterparts to identify and evaluate MDM including false or misleading narratives and conspiracy theories spread on social media and other online platforms that endorse or could Inspire violence now what gets me here is the Department of Homeland Security is saying they are working with not only the public sector
But the private sector as well so that leads me to believe that they’re working with big tech companies to censor whatever information they determine to be missing information or conspiracy theories now who gets to decide on this you know Ryan and Robbie they they they say that they’re going to be you know
Working with the private sector in the public sector in stopping the spread of misinformation who are they to decide uh they don’t have exactly the best track record on deciding what is Miss dis or conspiracy theory information yet you know this bulletin is is pretty I think alarming that they’ve released on Monday
Quite quietly basically saying that speech dissent from the government sowing any sort of uh Discord amongst any sort of against a government institution is potentially domestic terrorism yeah I mean I think that the Homeland Security Department was a mistake yeah I was just today we should I have it I
Have the answer shut it down yeah this expand it fire everyone who works for it they probably uh they probably don’t like the abolish Ice uh language they probably think that’s misinformation they should add to that alternative information as something that they condemn so that they can then make it
MDMA and we can all at least uh chuckle at this like bureaucratic creeping fascism that they’re that they’re pushing DHS very high on list of government agencies I will eliminate yeah and they high indeed they said that they even created when you read the entire bulletin
Um you know most of it was on missed this and Mal information but they did add in things that were genuine domestic terrorist threats you know they would talk about violent attacks against synagogues or churches or other places and they but that was kind of intermixed
In between most of it was about Miss dis and Mal information and then they’d put in like real threats real domestic threats that I think any of us would consider a problem anybody that’s calling for violence um but you know they yeah they classified all of the and then they also
Said oh and by the way we we created a separate Branch too just so you know to specifically go after these types of domestic terrorist threats yeah and that’s on top of the depart the Department of Justice also creating quietly last month I think it was like January 11th they released this notice
Saying that they had created their own also Department of uh you know to go after domestic terrorists so we’re seeing these new branches and it’s all Target getting misinformation I bet there are going to be a lot more kidnapping plots against Democratic Governors they’re just going to multiply
So we find out that the FBI is the ones behind them look law enforcement has every mandate it needs to to pursue criminals to to stop and and arrest people for violent plots for engaging in violence the whole like domestic terrorism framing is is very um prone to abuse and you know not
Necessary outside maybe like the category of actual sort of terrorist attacks being planned inside the country that are like actually linked to foreign group like Isis or something but even those were always like you know deranged people who want to do something because they’re interested in Isis but not that
Isis actually had any Formal Connection or right it’s it’s like copycat type things so it’s really not a useful label and and more than not being a useful label it’s one that now the government wants to apply to anyone who is like critical of the government or things that it says right left
Etc so very yeah very concerned there’s there’s enough crime for the FBI to try to go after yeah without trying to invent stuff and and start like editing people’s posts uh you know once they’ve cracked down on financial crime uh then they should come back and talk to us
Like there’s an entire like Wall Street crime spree underway go deal with that solve that then then we’ll talk about expanding your mandate to like Twitter posts yeah maybe if the Wall Street criminals are unmasked and unvaccinated then they’ll really then they’ll really well they’re vaccine yeah then they’ll
Go after them well and also one thing in the bulletin I was looking for you know as they were bringing up examples of like covid misinformation and uh election fraud and then they also brought up of course you know the actual violent attacks against synagogues and whatnot I was looking in the bulletin
For any sort of example the other way like they could say um you know the the taking over the occupying of downtown Seattle or you know uh any sort of the violence that happened during the BLM protest and they didn’t mention any of that I mean this
Was clearly a one-sided going after one political way of thinking and that you know it’s pretty frightening I think right but don’t worry they’ll they’ll go after BLM they’ll go after anybody who is once it’s set up right then any Administration could use this to their advantage to their political Advantage
At any point in time and that is what’s so scary about this that’s why we have to be against this because even if you don’t like this and dis you know Mal information that’s out there and you agree that it is Miss dis and Mal information one day it’ll be you right
That’s how it always goes yeah right and and either party will come after you because if it’s if it’s Democrats and they want to go after uh proud boys or or whoever uh let’s say they’re not proud boys for Thought crimes not like if they commit actual crimes go get them
Go get them right if they go then they feel like they have to balance it so they go after some people who are considered to be on the left if it’s the Republicans who want to go after anti-file want to go after some black lives matter protesters who might have
You know looted something then they’ll also go after somebody on the right yeah just just to throw a bone and say look so both parties are coming for you yeah if if you if you Embrace this type of domestic war on terror rhetoric Donald Bryson shut it down the
Apartment correct all right we’ll have more Rising right after this stay with us
