(DHS, please label me a terrorist without technically labelling me a terrorist) "The Secretary of Homeland Security has issued a new National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Bulletin regarding the current heightened threat environment across the United States. The Homeland continues to face a diverse and challenging threat environment leading up to and following the 20th Anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks as well religious holidays we assess could serve as a catalyst for acts of targeted violence. These threats include those posed by domestic terrorists, individuals and groups engaged in grievance-based violence, and those inspired or motivated by foreign terrorists and other malign foreign influences. These actors are increasingly exploiting online forums to influence and spread violent extremist narratives and promote violent activity. Such threats are also exacerbated by impacts of the ongoing global pandemic, including grievances over public health safety measures and perceived government restrictions." It sounds to me like DHS is saying: if you oppose your kids being forced to wear masks in school, oppose being forced to stay home from work so your business fails, oppose having your movements and activities tracked in case you might be sick or oppose having to take an experimental drug to engage in normal society, then you're 'exacerbating terrorism'. Just for context... Redress of grievances means resolution to problems or complaints. Redress means resolution, grievances are complaints. The right to petition the government for redress of grievances means the right to ask a governmental body to solve a problem. Is there any other way to interpret this other than DHS saying if you have a grievance about the way the govt is handling the pandemic, you are engaging in terrorism? Cuz that's what it sounds like to me...
I don't interpret it that way but I tend to not get annoyed by things like this. To me, it sounds like they are saying that people are already anxious and stressed about COVID, variants, vaccines, losses (loved ones, business, job, etc.) AND we're going into the 20 year anniversary of the terrorists attacks - so people just chill out. They are trying to get people who are already stressed to not go beat the hell out of some random people who they may conclude "look Middle Eastern". COVID or not, we were going to have more restrictions around the anniversary date. That is always the case because they have to bump up law enforcement.
Einstein warned us in 1948 about Zionist fascism. Spot on as usual. The entire afghan mess is W. 911 fraud Lied us in there Had the chance to help TNA off Taliban, sold out and flipped off TNA handing the country to Taliban, making col Tim osman "not a priority" Biden is LBJ's 5th term, W was 3+4 Helped Biden steal the election Cheered as Biden left Taliban billions $$$ of brand new US arms Why do W and Biden both LOVE Taliban? Taliban is led by the same type of "people fraud." Simon Elliot = baghdadi Col tim osman = Osama Osman trusted Taliban. Now it all makes sense...
Here's a funny, shouldn't be funny anecdote. Ex works at the airport. A guy there was going through a messy divorce and he was out of control angry about it all. He decided to make life miserable for his soon-to-be ex and added her name to the "no fly list" marked as a suspected terrorist. She found out when she was surrounded by several police officers while standing in line for her flight. All said and done, they did an internal investigation and found out it was him and fired him. Sad part is he has been on the job almost 20 years, just a few months shy of fully vested. I think it's a good thing that most criminals are stupid as hell. They make it easier for law enforcement to catch them.
That kind of attitude is how States end up as dictatorships. I'm guessing you haven't been around long enough to see how the government's definition of both "terrorist" and "terrorism" has changed over time. Ultimately, anyone who voices any opposition to any government policy, whether it's universal daycare, universal healthcare, "climate change," taxation or anything else will be labeled as a terrorist.
