Were there provocateurs, and if so, were they Antifa, the cops, and\/or the Feds?\u00a0<\/em>As usual, everyone on the internet thinks they know the answer within ten minutes. Unfortunately, this genuinely leads to the spreading of unfounded theories \u2013 many based on nothing but speculation and emotion. But while the public is debating over theories and arguing amongst themselves, the newly emboldened Military Industrial Complex is eagerly anticipating the incoming Biden Administration as an opportunity to expand the War on Domestic Terror.<\/p>\n<p>In the immediate aftermath of the \u201cstorming of the Capitol\u201d, the media pundits, intelligence community, and politicians began foaming at the mouth in excitement over the chance to push through Domestic Terror legislation. Michigan representative Elissa Slotkin, also former Acting Assistant Secretary of Defense and CIA analyst, said,\u00a0<em>\u201cthe post 9\/11 era is over. The single greatest national security threat right now is our internal division. The threat of domestic terrorism.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Slotkin went on to say that she urges the Biden administration to\u00a0<em>\u201cunderstand that the greatest threat now is internal.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"Twitter Tweet\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/index.html?creatorScreenName=YoureAllDunces&amp;dnt=true&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1347559510357979138&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thelastamericanvagabond.com%2Famericans-are-being-divided-as-the-war-on-domestic-terror-expands%2F&amp;siteScreenName=YoureAllDunces&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=ed20a2b%3A1601588405575&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1347559510357979138\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>TLAV writer Whitney Webb responded to Slotkin\u2019s comment by reminding the audience that,\u00a0<em>\u201cbefore Congress, Elissa worked for the CIA and the Pentagon and helped destabilize the Middle East during the Bush and Obama admins. What she says here is essentially an open announcement that the US has moved from the \u201cWar on [foreign] terror\u201d to the \u201cWar on domestic terror\u201d.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) also reportedly released a bulletin warning that \u201cdomestic extremists\u201d are planning a nationwide protest to stop Joe Biden from being sworn in as President. According to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/US\/armed-protests-planned-50-state-capitols-fbi-bulletin\/story?id=75179771\">ABC News<\/a>,\u00a0<em>\u201cThe FBI has also received information in recent days on a group calling for \u201cstorming\u201d state, local and federal government courthouses and administrative buildings in the event President\u00a0Donald Trump is removed from office prior to Inauguration Day. The group is also planning to \u201cstorm\u201d government offices in every state the day President-elect Joe Biden will be inaugurated, regardless of whether the states certified electoral votes for Biden or Trump.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Since the bulletin has not been publicly released the report should be viewed skeptically. However, it\u2019s only one of many emerging reports and articles stoking the flames of civil war and internal chaos. The fact of the matter is that this is not a new attempt to demonize the American people. This current effort is simply a continuation of the effort to label Americans as terrorists that has been taking place since at least the mid-1990\u2019s following the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.corbettreport.com\/okc-a-conspiracy-theory\/\">Oklahoma City bombing false flag<\/a>. These efforts were expanded further after the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelastamericanvagabond.com\/david-meiswinkle-interview-ongoing-suppression-9-11-truth-proof-controlled-demolition\/\">attacks of 9\/11<\/a>. In fact, as most readers know by now, it was Joe Biden who wrote the anti-terror legislation in the 90\u2019s which became the basis for the Patriot ACT after 9\/11.<\/p>\n<p>While the \u201cWar on Terror\u201d launched by the George W. Bush administration was focused on imaginary enemies in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Iran, Syria, and elsewhere, there has also been a steady push to focus on the American public. In the first years of the Obama administration we saw the rise of the \u201cTea Party\u201d movement, the American Libertarian movement, and Liberal Progressives who opposed the war machine, the surveillance state, and the militarization of the police. Organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) did their best to label activists \u201cextremists\u201d for constitutionally protected activism and organizing. In 2010, the SPLC even came up with a \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20100419123846\/http:\/\/www.splcenter.org\/get-informed\/publications\/the-patriots?page=0,0\">Patriot Hit List\u201d<\/a>\u00a0of so-called extremists.<\/p>\n<p>The post-9\/11 era saw the creation of Fusion Centers; centralized systems that pool and analyze intelligence from federal, state, local, and private sector entities. The National Network of Fusion Centers was created after the 9\/11 attacks to provide for more streamlined communication between federal and local agencies. The Fusion Centers have been criticized as violations of civil liberties and a danger to separation of federal and local governments. They have been exposed for targeting of protesters of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.muckrock.com\/news\/archives\/2017\/aug\/09\/dapl-threat-assessment-ii\/\">Dakota Access Pipeline<\/a>\u00a0and most infamously, in 2009 it was\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/fusion-centers-expand-criteria-to-identify-militia-members\">revealed that the Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC)<\/a>\u00a0was targeting supporters of third party candidates, Ron Paul supporters, anti-abortion activists, and \u201cconspiracy theorists\u201d as potential domestic extremists.<\/p>\n<p>The 2010\u2019s also saw the passing of the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act which included provisions allowing for indefinitely detaining Americans who have been labeled potential terrorists. Under these provisions, Americans lose the ability to have access to a lawyer and the right to a speedy trial. The measures were approved every year during the Obama and Trump administrations.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is that the United States has long been pushing for a focus on Domestic Terror and Extremism, and regardless of what really happened at the Capitol on January 6, the event is being used as a way to justify the push for strengthening domestic terror legislation.<\/p>\n<p>Another organization that is helping propel the\u00a0<em>\u201crise of domestic terror\u201d<\/em>\u00a0narrative is the Center for Strategic &amp; International Studies (CSIS), an organization with deep ties to the intelligence community and Western Military Industrial Complex. In October, the CSIS released a\u00a0<a class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" href=\"https:\/\/www.csis.org\/analysis\/war-comes-home-evolution-domestic-terrorism-united-states\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-t-l=\"|inline|intext|n\/a\">study<\/a>\u00a0claiming that two-thirds of the terrorist plots and attacks in the United States in the first eight months of 2020 were carried out by white supremacists and like-minded extremists. Coincidentally, journalist John Vibes\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.activistpost.com\/2020\/11\/biden-has-filled-his-foreign-policy-team-with-weapons-contractors.html\">recently reported<\/a>\u00a0that,\u00a0<em>\u201cthe Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) is listed as the \u201cmost recent employment\u201d for three selections on Biden\u2019s Department of Defense agency review team: Kathleen Hicks, who is a former defense official under President Barack Obama, as well as Melissa Dalton, and Andrew Hunter.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The most likely candidate for new domestic terror legislation is the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/116th-congress\/senate-bill\/894\/text?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%5B%22white+supremacy%22%5D%7D&amp;r=1&amp;s=2\">The Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act\u201d<\/a>, originally passed by the House in 2020, would create \u201c<em>dedicated domestic terrorism offices within the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to analyze and monitor domestic terrorist activity and require the Federal Government to take steps to prevent domestic terrorism.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Illinois Senator Dick Durbin has already\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fox32chicago.com\/news\/illinois-sen-dick-durbin-to-reintroduce-domestic-terrorism-prevention-act\">promised to reintroduce the bill<\/a>\u00a0in the coming days.\u00a0<em>\u201cSenate Democrats, along with the Biden administration, will work together to investigate, expose, and hold accountable domestic terrorism threats in our country,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Durbin and Sen.

The bill also has support from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.adl.org\/urge-congress-to-take-action-against-anti-semitism-white-supremacy-and-domestic-terrorism\">the Anti-Defamation League<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/civilrights.org\/resource\/support-the-domestic-terrorism-prevention-act\/\">the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Another domestic terror bill that has previously been considered is the \u201cConfronting the Threat of Domestic Terror Act\u201d. The bill was\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/schiff.house.gov\/news\/press-releases\/schiff-introduces-legislation-to-create-a-federal-domestic-terrorism-crime\">introduced by Rep. Adam Schiff<\/a>, who claimed that\u00a0<em>\u201cthe legislation is narrowly crafted and includes protections to ensure it is not misused.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0However, the American Civil Liberties Union\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aclu.org\/letter\/aclu-statement-opposing-hr-4192-confronting-threat-domestic-terrorism-act\">warned<\/a>,\u00a0<em>\u201cpeople of color and other marginalized communities have long been targeted under domestic terrorism authorities for unfair and discriminatory surveillance, investigations, and prosecutions.

Will the American people allow themselves to be divided to the point of calling for domestic terror legislation to be used on their neighbors, co-workers, friends and family? With the public inundated with fears of civil war, stolen elections, rampant disinformation, and general exhaustion with COVID-19 measures, it appears to be a very critical moment which may decide whether America is destined for a renewed desire for liberty, truth, and free speech, or an accelerated push towards tyranny.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cb_p6_patreon_button\">\n<div class=\"cb_p6_message_over_post_button\">Question Everything, Come To Your Own Conclusions.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelastamericanvagabond.com\/americans-are-being-divided-as-the-war-on-domestic-terror-expands\/\">https:\/\/www.thelastamericanvagabond.com\/americans-are-being-divided-as-the-war-on-domestic-terror-expands\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Americans Are Being Divided As The War On Domestic Terror Expands<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48244","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48244","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=48244"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48244\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=48244"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=48244"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=48244"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
