Glenn opposed over-reach and sacrifice of civil liberties in original GWOT (global war on terror), a position shared by (many) liberals and opposed by (most) conservatives way back then. Now Glenn opposes over-reach and sacrifice of civil liberties in DWOT (domestic war on terror), a position shared by (almost all) conservatives and opposed by (almost all) liberals. I think we should tip our collective hat to Glenn for his principled consistency.

Unfortunately for the Left, there aren't enough back stabbing Mitt Romneys around to support their insane delusions.

They know that they committed election fraud, but they can't understand how they were able to get away with it. That's why they're trying to smear anyone who might oppose them as a right wing extremist or a terrorist. By the way, those Antifa assholes who burned down your building? Those aren't terrorists.

The ballots will be audited and the truth shall be known. That fact scares the hell out of them.

Joe Biden did not receive 12 million more votes than Barack Obama. They got overzealous with their "counting".

There are really big differences between the War on Terror and the current leftwing domestic terrorism hype. Surveillance in the War on Terror was conducted against foreign terror groups and their followers and sympathizers in the US, and it followed a series of successful and not successful large-scale terror acts, eg there were very real threats, and who knows what was averted. It wasn't a political cover to destroy domestic political enemies as this current attempt so blatantly is.

So what is going on? Increasingly, entertainment (all left) and business elites (both left and right) carry water for China's authoritarian Communist Party. Run of the mill Democrats have gotten into state power hardcore with the mask mandates, etc. Just today I read someone on the Miami subreddit suggesting that lockdowns be used as a deterrent to Miami's current gun crime spree. And Democratic Party leadership has decided that being a conservative basically makes one a domestic terrorist or at least a sympathizer.

All of the above follows a steady flow of violence at LEFTwing rallies that produced dozens of deaths, hundreds of injuries, and around $2 billion in property damage, but quick everyone, "Let's outlaw those crazy rightwing domestic terrorists," and attempt to grab permanent political party power.

This is communism with an iPhone and Insta. It's all about permanent party power, which is all that communism really is when its practice is boiled down. Forget about socialism and pro-worker mumbo jumbo - China is the most successful communist government in history, and progressives are lusting after that kind of power whether they're directly cognizant of that or not. And just like the CCP, once the Democrats have the kind of power they strive for (and won't get most likely), they'll probably dispense with most of the social welfare state anyway. It's just for show. The actual goal is power and $.

GG explains that both 9/11 and the recent capitol event are used for a power grab.

The pandemic was precisely the same, at every level of government.

It is easy to keep blaming all of these sociopaths in government. But the fact is, Governors who locked down their states saw their approval ratings go to 80%. Bush was a laughing stock out of his element and then when he put all of these policies in place he became more popular.

When people realized the NSA was collecting data many conservatives and liberals were apathetic and took the view “hey what do you have to hide?”

Americans are responsible for ceding all of their liberties to these professional lying sociopaths. Ultimately, this is what people keep allowing.

The true definition of "domestic extremist" per CNN, MSNBC, etc.: "any US person who did not vote for Joe Biden, or who is unhappy with the current state of DC politics"

Before I got to the middle of this article I had to go into the bathroom because I thought I was going to vomit. My rage is intensified by my impotence... What the hell is happening?!

How can those of us who categorically oppose these malevolent narratives and destructive policies band together to stop this? Waiting for 2022, and then 2024, isn't going to cut it. We won't have a nation in 4 months much less 4 years.

This dude is not my president. Stands to reason he'd need to crack down. Lack of legitimacy does that.

The most chilling part of this war on US citizens is that there is nothing we can do to stop it. The leftwing establishment controls the schools, the universities, the entertainment industry, the flow of information on social media, the propagandist media, and the federal police force. The “elections” are a joke- easily manipulated to get the desired results. I have no faith in this country and its people anymore.

I fear the Democrat Party more than anything - it's evil.

Truly scary times when the government has gone full on enemy of the people and the people have done very little to deserve it.

When real white supremacists like Richard Spencer, war criminals like Bush, Cheney’s, flint Michigan poisoner Rick Snyder all switch parties to support your candidate, you may need to get off the moral high ground and do some self reflection.

What’s even more amazing is the absolute silence from DNC leftists who called orange man fascist dictator, divider, Russian puppet for 5 years while now being completely silent when Biden is actually doing the fascist stuff and dividing people and giving Putin access to the Nordstream gas for Europe. Zero self awareness.

I’m a heck of a lot more worried about U F O’s and space aliens crossing our solar system then I am about domestic terrorists and white supremacists. They’re food for the feeble minded.

It's as if Snowden never happened. As if Clapper was never shown to be a liar. As if the doctored Fisa warrants were never uncovered.

We walk around like zombies, even if we're shown the danger again and again.

I suspect this most recent incursion on our rights is an excuse to find political dissidents rather than security threats.

This is a direct result of "journalists" not questioning the results of the 2020 election. With even just a small amount of "mainstream" media spotlighting the possibility of an illegitimate election, the pressure would be on the corrupt deep state to keep covering their tracks. Instead, they are doubling down on the big lie that "right wing extremists" are a threat to the entire nation. Don't get me wrong, most of us here know the old media are completely corrupted deep state sycophants and can't be trusted, but those in power would see that as a threat and their focus would be drawn from trying to demonize their opposition to trying to legitimize their rule.

As you indicate those security bulletins are just plows tilling the fields of public opinion and planting the seeds of paranoia and distrust. All so that votes can be gleaned and new restrictive laws can be passed by a cowered Congress. This also feeds into the Military Industrial Complex's need for unending wars and tax money to keep its war machine grinding away. Biden sure picked an almost non-existent threat. Domestic Terrorism is just a dog whistle to target white men and woman not aligned with the DNC. The murder of Ashley on Jan 6 by a police officer has been deep sixed from day one. The shooter has never been identified and the media shown little or no interest in this case since it was only an unarmed white woman. This false meme of white supremacists hiding under every rock is almost as laughable as most of Old Joe's attempts to put together two sentences that make sense. NO American is falling for this stupidity. The Asian's being attacked scare is being played down since most attackers are mind addled Blacks and that does not fit the Biden, DNC narrative. All the while the media plays the role of enabler of lies and false stories of white terror groups roaming the streets of America. Most of the terror groups are run by BLM and Antifa with the support of the DNC and people like VP Harris. America is not fooled and the world is having a great laugh at our bumbling and incoherent President's attempts to get thru the day. The corporate media has become childish comic book pumping up the administrations many scare tactics. The censorship by big Tech will in the end destroy them as their "mistakes" and outright terror tactics will not be forgotten. What a putrid stew this administration is trying to serve to the American public. Most are not partaking. Mid-term elections should be some indication of how the wind is blowing.
