Dear Patriot,

The Department of Homeland Security issued on
Wednesday a nationwide terror alert lasting until April 30. The
alert warns of potential terrorist attacks from Americans who are
"ideologically motivated" and have "objections to
the exercise of government authority and the presidential
transition, as well as other perceived grievances fueled by false
narratives."

The language used in this alert suggests that
millions of Americans are potential terrorists. Second Amendment
supporting, antiwar, anti-tax, anti-politics,
anti-militarization, pro-life, and anti-Federal Reserve activists
certainly have "objections to the exercise of government
authority." They are certainly viewed by the political class
and its handmaidens in big tech and the mainstream media as
ideological extremists. Anyone who gets his news from sources
other than mainstream media or big tech, or who uses certain
"unapproved" social media platforms, is considered to
have had his grievances "fueled by false narratives."
For something to be considered a false narrative, it need only
contradict the "official" narrative.

The "domestic terrorist" alert is
the latest sign that activities on January 6 on Capitol Hill,
like the attacks of September 11, 2001, are being used to advance
a long-standing anti-liberty agenda. Legislation expanding the
federal government's authority to use its surveillance and other
unconstitutional powers against "domestic terrorists"
is likely to soon be considered by Congress. Just as the PATRIOT
Act was written years before 2001, this legislation was written
long before January 6. The bill's proponents are simply taking
advantage of the hysteria following the so-called insurrection to
push the bill onto the congressional agenda.

Former CIA Director John Brennan recently
singled out libertarians as among the people the government
should go after. This is not the first time libertarians have
been smeared. In 2009, a federally-funded fusion center
identified people who supported my presidential campaign, my
Campaign for Liberty, or certain Libertarian and Constitution
parties candidates as potentially violent extremists.

The idea that libertarianism creates
terrorists is absurd. Libertarians support the non-aggression
principle, so they reject using force to advance their political
goals. They rely instead on peaceful persuasion.

Libertarianism is being attacked because it
does not support just reforming a few government policies.
Instead, it presents a formidable intellectual challenge to the
entire welfare-warfare state.

The ultimate goal of those pushing for a
crackdown on "domestic terrorism" is to make people
unwilling to even consider "radical" ideas - to make
people so afraid of certain ideas that they refuse to even give
those ideas a fair hearing.

Progressives who are tempted to support what
is being promoted as a crackdown on right-wing violence should
consider the history of government harassment of progressive
movements and leaders such as Martin Luther King, Jr. What do
they think a future right-wing authoritarian would do if given
power to go after "ideological extremists"?

All Americans who cherish the Bill of Rights
should come together to stop this latest crackdown on liberty.
Campaign for Liberty will be mobilizing
Americans to stop passage of any domestic terrorism legislation
and will provide Americans with the most up-to-date information
about the continuing attempts to smear those who speak the truth
about government lies.
