The American public is still learning more about the Biden regime’s sinister nature and how it felt about its political opponents.
On Friday, DNI Director Tulsi Gabbard declassified documents that revealed that Americans who opposed the draconian and cruel COVID mandates were declared “Domestic Violent Extremists.” Michael Shellenberger’s Public and Catherine Herridge Reports first obtained the newly declassified records.
Former FBI agent Steve Friend explained to Public that the designation created an “articulable purpose” for FBI or other government agents to open an “assessment” of individuals, which is often the first step toward a formal investigation. In other words, COVID opponents were going to be potentially investigated as domestic terrorists.
As one will see below, Biden’s FBI, Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) co-authored a December 13, 2021 intelligence product titled “DVEs and Foreign Analogues May React Violently to COVID-19 Mitigation Mandates.”
As Public notes, the report calls legit criticism of mandates as “prominent narratives” related to violent extremism. Such narratives described in the report “include the belief that COVID-19 vaccines are unsafe, especially for children, are part of a government or global conspiracy to deprive individuals of their civil liberties and livelihoods, or are designed to start a new social or political order.”
Since then, opponents of COVID mandates have been vindicated on these allegations, meaning the regime wanted to suppress the truth. Friend also added that the “Domestic Violent Extremist” designation gave the government a tool to pressure Big Tech into censoring anti-COVID mandate content, which is precisely what happened.
“It’s a way they could go to social media companies and say, ‘You don’t want to propagate domestic terrorism, so you should take down this content,’” Friend explained.
Gabbard spoke to Fox News’s Will Cain Friday afternoon following the release of the documents.
