Just In Time for the Election, the FBI Labels MAGA Supporters Domestic Terrorists and Begins Tracking and Surveiling Them

Kyle Seraphin is one of the FBI agents who blew the whistle on Biden's Stasi. He refers to his fellow whistleblowers as "The Suspendables," a play on "The Expendables" movie franchise. I think he means that the FBI is willing to sacrifice its few remaining good agents by permanently suspending them.

Kyle Seraphin @KyleSeraphin

New @NewsWeek article quotes unnamed @FBI sources concerned about the political targeting of "Trump supporters" under #FBI case types "266-O." The #Suspendables warnings are proving true as the Bureau is moving towards increasing investigations into "anti-government/anti-authority violent extremists (AGAAVE)."

These types of cases don't have to involve ANY allegations of violence nor do they require anyone to engage in a criminal act. Simply citing Patrick Henry or other Founding Fathers' intense rhetorical speech could trigger this type of "violent extremist" tag. In fact, today's FBI would ABSOLUTELY be investigating 1776's Founding Fathers under the 266-O designation.

The Bad news: The Bu is captured and most Agents at all levels are participating.

The Good news: a few more #Suspendables will be forced to make the right choice, and this story is an indicator.

The reporting should vindicate anyone who doubts the words of @RealSteveFriend, and makes the pending release of #PoliceStateFilm by @DineshDSouz and @dbongino more important. The danger of investigating 50% or more of this country over political beliefs and protected speech cannot be overestimated. The FBI is a threat to our Republic, and it should be treated according. Some people need to review their Oath.

Some excerpts from that Newsweek article:

The federal government believes that the threat of violence and major civil disturbances around the 2024 U.S. presidential election is so great that it has quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to track and counter: Donald Trump's army of MAGA followers.

The challenge for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the primary federal agency charged with law enforcement, is to pursue and prevent what it calls domestic terrorism without direct reference to political parties or affiliations--even though the vast majority of its current "anti-government" investigations are of Trump supporters, according to classified data obtained by Newsweek.

"The FBI is in an almost impossible position," says a current FBI official, who requested anonymity to discuss highly sensitive internal matters. The official said that the FBI is intent on stopping domestic terrorism and any repeat of the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. But the Bureau must also preserve the Constitutional right of all Americans to campaign, speak freely and protest the government. By focusing on former president Trump and his MAGA (Make America Great Again) supporters, the official said, the Bureau runs the risk of provoking the very anti-government activists that the terrorism agencies hope to counter.

No f*cking comment.

"Especially at a time when the White House is facing Congressional Republican opposition claiming that the Biden administration has 'weaponized' the Bureau against the right wing, it has to tread very carefully," says the official.

What a crazy claim for those presumed terrorists to make!

...

From the president down, the Biden administration has presented Trump and MAGA as an existential threat to American democracy and talked up the risk of domestic terrorism and violence associated with the 2024 election campaign.

"Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are a threat to the very soul of this country," President Biden tweeted last September, the first time that he explicitly singled out the former president. "MAGA Republicans aim to question not only the legitimacy of past elections but elections being held now and into the future," Biden said.

Biden's Homeland Security Advisor Liz Sherwood-Randall said: "The use of violence to pursue political ends is a profound threat to our public safety and national security...it is a threat to our national identity, our values, our norms, our rule of law--our democracy."

For Attorney General Merrick Garland: "Attacks by domestic terrorists are attacks on all of us collectively, aimed at rending the fabric of our democratic society and driving us apart."

Though the FBI's data shows a dip in the number of investigations since the slew of January 6 cases ended, FBI Director Christopher Wray still says that the breach of the Capitol building was "not an isolated event" and the threat is "not going away anytime soon." In a joint report to Congress this June, the Bureau and the Department of Homeland Security say that "Threats from...DVEs [domestic violent extremists] have increased in the last two years, and any further increases in threats likely will correspond to potential flashpoints, such as high-profile elections and campaigns or contentious current events."

The FBI and DHS report concludes: "Sociopolitical developments--such as narratives of fraud in the recent general election, the emboldening impact of the violent breach of the U.S. Capitol, conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and conspiracy theories promoting violence--will almost certainly spur some domestic terrorists to try to engage in violence."

Another way to say all that: The Regime has consistently gaslighted the public for seven years, going back to the beginning of the RUSSIA COLLUSION psyop and continuing through the "HALLMARKS OF RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION" psyop and the "WUHAN WET MARKET" psyop, and people no longer believe the Regime's lies and the Regime feels vulnerable, so it's going to do what has failed to work in the past: It's just going to attempt to criminalize all opposition to it, and hope that this time, the people understand that they are under the Regime's control and there's nothing they can do about it.

The threats listed in that paragraph are all clearly associated with America's right and in particular with Trump's MAGA supporters. Right after January 6, the FBI co-authored a restricted report ("Domestic Violent Extremists Emboldened in Aftermath of Capitol Breach, Elevated Domestic Terrorism Threat of Violence Likely Amid Political Transitions and Beyond") in which it shifted the definition of AGAAVE ("anti-government, anti-authority violent extremism") from "furtherance of ideological agendas" to "furtherance of political and/or social agendas." For the first time, such groups could be so labeled because of their politics.

Glad antifa and BLM have not engaged in any anti-government, anti-authority violent extremism.

It was a subtle change, little noticed, but a gigantic departure for the Bureau. Trump and his army of supporters were acknowledged as a distinct category of domestic violent extremists, even as the FBI was saying publicly that political views were never part of its criteria to investigate or prevent domestic terrorism. Where the FBI sees threats is also plain from the way it categorizes them--a system which on the surface is designed to appear nonpartisan. This shifted subtly days after the events of January 6 when it comes to what the Bureau calls AGAAVE.

...

But the FBI went further in October 2022 when it created a new subcategory--"AGAAVE-Other"--of those who were a threat but do not fit into its anarchist, militia or Sovereign Citizen groups. Introduced without any announcement, and reported here for the first time, the new classification is officially defined as "domestic violent extremists who cite anti-government or anti-authority motivations for violence or criminal activity not otherwise defined, such as individuals motivated by a desire to commit violence against those with a real or perceived association with a specific political party or faction of a specific political party."

Though Trump and MAGA are never mentioned in the official description of AGAAVE-Other, government insiders acknowledge that it applies to political violence ascribed to the former president's supporters.

"What other name could we use?" asks one FBI officer who spoke with Newsweek, and who defends what he says is merely a record-keeping change in response to Congressional pressure to track things better. "Obviously if Democratic Party supporters resort to violence, it [AGAAVE-Other] would apply to them as well. It doesn't matter that there is a low likelihood of that. So yes, in practical terms, it refers to MAGA, though the carefully constructed language is wholly nonpartisan."

IF supporters of the Democrat Party engage in violence?

IF?!

Defund and prosecute.
