The American populace continues to uncover the darker aspects of the Biden administration and its attitudes towards dissenting voices.
On Friday, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard took the bold step of declassifying documents that exposed how Americans opposing stringent COVID mandates were labeled as âDomestic Violent Extremists.â The initial scoop came from Michael Shellenbergerâs Public and Catherine Herridge Reports, shedding light on these newly available records.
Former FBI agent Steve Friend elaborated to Public that this alarming designation provided a formal rationale for FBI agents and other governmental entities to initiate assessments on individualsâa precursor to a potential full-blown investigation. In simpler terms, those who dared to challenge COVID mandates were at risk of being treated as domestic terrorists.
Highlighting the depth of the matter, it was revealed that Biden’s FBI, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) collaboratively authored a December 13, 2021 intelligence report titled âDVEs and Foreign Analogues May React Violently to COVID-19 Mitigation Mandates.â
LOOK:
As noted by Public , the report bizarrely equates valid criticism of these mandates with âprominent narrativesâ regarding violent extremism. It describes beliefs such as the perception that COVID-19 vaccines are unsafeâparticularly for childrenâor that these mandates form part of a government or global conspiracy aimed at infringing upon civil liberties and livelihoods, or even seeking to establish a new socio-political order.
Since then, those opposing the COVID mandates have found themselves vindicated in their assertions, indicating that the administration sought to suppress the truth. Friend further elaborated that the âDomestic Violent Extremistâ label granted the government leverage to coerce Big Tech into censoring content opposing COVID mandates, which is exactly what transpired.
âThis designation gave them the means to approach social media platforms and argue, âYou donât want to facilitate domestic terrorism, so you ought to remove this content,ââ explained Friend .
Gabbard later discussed the implications of these documents with Fox Newsâs Will Cain on Friday afternoon.
âWhen examining the language of these documents Iâve just declassified, itâs evident that they reflect the Biden administrationâs strategy in designating potential violent domestic extremists,â Gabbard articulated.
âIt makes a clear connection to individuals who are likely to be viewed as domestic violent extremists or who might resort to violence due to certain âideologiesâ they adhere to,â she continued. âA consistent theme emerges wherein these ideologiesâcharacterized as potentially leading to violent actionsâare those of individuals exercising their First Amendment rights to contest specific Biden Administration policies.â
âExamples cited include those who resist COVID vaccine mandates, individuals opposing mask mandates, and parents who are concerned about their children being vaccinated without their consent or knowledge,â she added.
WATCH:
HOLY CRAP! @DNIGabbard just confirmed the Biden administration put people on a domestic terr*r watchlist for simply not buying into the COVID-19 narrative.
This is one of the MANY things wrong with the Biden administration.

This revelation should come as a shock to absolutely no one. Last year, Jim Hoft reported that Bidenâs Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had formed a now-disbanded intel unit, including Deep State figures like John Brennan and James Clapper, aimed at reclassifying political dissent under the pretense of âpublic health,â thereby encouraging citizens to report their neighbors.
Moreover, the administration also aimed to categorize Trump supporters as domestic terror threats and sought to establish a DHS intelligence unit to target them.
