When you make everyone a terrorist, you can persecute your opponents
and prosecute freedom at will... 1984's gulags getting closer,

Multiple FBI whistleblowers have stepped forward to House Republicans
to claim that the agency's leadership has been pressuring agents to
'artificially pad domestic terrorism data' by inappropriately
classifying cases to meet quotas.

"From recent protected disclosures, we have learned that FBI officials
are pressuring agents to reclassify cases as ‘domestic violent
extremism’ even if the cases do not meet the criteria for such a
classification," wrote Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) in a Wednesday letter to
FBI Director Christopher Wray.

"Given the narrative pushed by the Biden administration that domestic
violent extremism is the ‘greatest threat’ facing our country, the
revelation that the FBI may be artificially padding domestic terrorism
data is scandalous," Jordan continues.

"The Biden administration’s narrative may be misleading," Jordan
writes. "One whistleblower explained that because agents are not
finding enough DVE [domestic violent extremism] cases, they are
encouraged and incentivized to reclassify cases as DVE cases even
though there is minimal, circumstantial evidence to support the
reclassification."

"This information … reinforces our concerns regarding the FBI’s
politicization under your leadership," Jordan continued, noting that
there had been an alleged "purge" of conservative FBI employees, and
that the agency seems "more focused on classifying investigations to
meet a woke left-wing agenda" than addressing congressional concerns.

Notably, the FBI created a 'domestic terrorism' unit in January after
prioritizing the threat of "white extremism" as the most pressing
domestic security concern.

This followed a June 2020 report that the White House's National
Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism had defined the "the two
most lethal elements of today’s domestic terrorism threat" as : (1)
racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists who advocate for
the superiority of the white race and (2) anti-government or
anti-authority violent extremists, such as militia violent
extremists."

"The Justice Department is establishing a specialized unit focused on
domestic terrorism, the department's top national security official
told lawmakers Tuesday as he described an elevated threat from violent
extremists in the United States," The Associated Press reported in
January. The unit was described as necessary to handle the "more than
double" the number of suspected violent extremism cases which have
popped up since spring of 2020, according to Congressional testimony
this week of Assistant Attorney General Matthew Olsen.

"We have seen a growing threat from those who are motivated by racial
animus, as well as those who ascribe to extremist anti-government and
anti-authority ideologies," Olsen stated.

The specialized domestic terrorism unit, he described, is further
necessary to "to augment our existing approach" - despite the DOJ
already having a counterterrorism section within National Security
Division, and such cases also long being handled by FBI units.

    Does this new FBI department exist to prevent domestic terrorism
or to perpetrate it, like that time the FBI hatched a plan to kidnap
and kill Michigan’s governor? https://t.co/niR5dVm51n

And remember how Biden's Secretary of Education reportedly requested a
'domestic terrorism' letter from a school boards group, after parents
angry about COVID-19 mandates and Critical Race Theory (among other
things) showed up to school board meetings to voice their displeasure?

Then, in May, Senate Republicans blocked a bill to create domestic
terrorism offices within federal law enforcement agencies in response
to the Buffalo, NY mass shooting that left 10 people dead.

“The bill is so important because the mass shooting in Buffalo was an
act of domestic terrorism. We need to call it what it is, domestic
terrorism. It was terrorism that fed off the poison of conspiracy
theories like white replacement theory,” Senate Majority Leader
Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said just before the vote.

    Leader Schumer on the domestic terrorism bill: "This is a test;
this is about accountability. Republican Senators: do you reject the
views of MAGA Republicans? Do you reject white supremacy and
replacement theory? Taking a stand … should be the easiest thing in
the world."

As Sen. Rand Paul said in a floor speech at the time; "Today we will
have a bill before us ostensibly titled and ostensibly about the
subject of domestic terrorism. But this bill would be more accurately
called the Democrat plan to brand and insult our police and soldiers
as White supremacists and neo-Nazis – how insulting."
