Dear john,
This week, the Biden Administration further revealed the Left’s plan for silencing its political opponents. Americans have already seen glimpses of this plot and the examples are disturbing, from targeting parents as “domestic terrorists” to setting up the now failed Disinformation Governance Board – better known as Biden’s “Ministry of Truth.”
We learned a new tactic in the Biden Administration’s arsenal during a Homeland Security Committee hearing on Tuesday. I questioned Dr. Kurt Braddock, an American University professor (and recipient of more than $550,000 in grants from the DHS) who calls himself an expert on “stochastic terrorism.”
WATCH: Biden wants to silence his political opponents – like Tucker Carlson
Braddock defines “stochastic terrorism” as “a form of incited terrorism whereby a communicator has access to a platform and big audience [and] when the communicator uses coded language that promotes violence within an audience of million…at least one is likely to interpret it as a call to arms.”
Who are the alleged “stochastic” terrorists according to Braddock? For starters, conservative media hosts like Tucker Carlson and conservative politicians like President Donald Trump.
The worst part is that Braddock admitted on the Congressional Record that the language he’s targeting is all First Amendment protected speech. So why call anyone a “terrorist” for that speech? Well, he’s not just targeting anyone for using this “coded language” either. It turns out he’s mainly focused on people who aren’t politically aligned with Democrats.
THREAD: Biden's DHS is willing to label their opponents as “stochastic terrorists”
For example, when pressed on President Biden’s comments predicting a “mini-revolution,” should SCOTUS overturn Roe v. Wade, Braddock dismissed the assertion as “insufficient.” Mind you, this comment came immediately following an assassination attempt on Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
WATCH: Why did Dems wait to protect Supreme Court Justices?
Spot the difference? If you are a conservative, your words can get you labeled as a “terrorist.” But the same standard won’t be applied as stringently to outspoken liberals.
So, while Biden’s “Ministry of Truth” may have failed spectacularly, and the administration’s efforts to target parents as “domestic terrorists” were exposed, the plan remains the same. Label and smear political opponents and use the levers of the federal government to do so.
The new way to achieve this goal is much more subtle. People like Braddock hide behind their status in “academia,” while providing research to the Biden Administration that labels the enemies of the left as “terrorists.” This is straight out of the communist playbook. Smear your opponents, make it look convincing, and do it over again.
This puts the First Amendment under threat like never before. Your words, taken out of context, and randomly connected to someone else’s actions, can get you labeled as a “terrorist.” This new standard is not only un-American, but it is also extremely hypocritical. After all, it was just two years ago that the BLM riots violently devastated the country. Whose words encouraged those riots to take place? It certainly wasn’t conservatives.
