The Establishment wants this bill.<\/p>\n<p>The only domestic terrorism is that of Antifa and BLM, the Democrat\u2019s militias that were unleashed on business sections in Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis, Chicago, Atlanta, and other cities.\u00a0 It is not these Democrat militias that are the target of Biden\u2019s domestic terrorism bill.\u00a0 The target is the approximately 90 million Americans who reelected Trump president.\u00a0 They have to be shut up and prevented from organizing into a political party to replace the Republicans, who although useless to the people are very useful to the Establishment. McConnell is worth as much to the Establishment as Pelosi, Biden, or Hillary.<\/p>\n<p>Shutting down alternative narratives to the Establishment\u2019s narrative is the purpose of the domestic terrorism bill. The function of the Guardsmen, kept from family and job, is to protect Washington from make-believe violence by Trump voters until the Democrats and their media whores can push through the destruction of the First Amendment.\u00a0 To be followed by destruction of the Second Amendment.<\/p>\n<p>Think back.\u00a0 Do you remember the original war on terror?\u00a0 This war was supposed to have been against \u201cMuslim extremists\u201d who allegedly gave us 9\/11 and had more domestic terror coming.\u00a0 But the war on terror was not against Muslim terrorists.\u00a0 It was a war against the Constitutional protections of the American people.\u00a0 It was the US Constitution and our civil liberty that took the hit.\u00a0 The PATRIOT Act applies to Americans, not to Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda. It was President George W. Bush who declared his right to detain Americans indefinitely without due process of law.\u00a0 It was President Obama who declared his right to execute Americans on suspicion alone without due process of law.<\/p>\n<p>Now that the Establishment and their media whores have morphed the war on Muslim terrorists into the war on Trump voters, they will use the domestic terrorism bill to add to their armory of weapons for arresting dissenters.<\/p>\n<p>Having acquiesced to a stolen election, Americans are now being led into tyranny.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"pFzR0L5Bgf\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paulcraigroberts.org\/pages\/donate\/\">Donate<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Donate&#8221; &#8212; PaulCraigRoberts.org\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paulcraigroberts.org\/pages\/donate\/embed\/#?secret=pFzR0L5Bgf\" data-secret=\"pFzR0L5Bgf\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paulcraigroberts.org\/2021\/01\/25\/down-the-path-into-tyranny\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having acquiesced to a stolen election, writes Paul Craig Roberts, Americans are now being led into tyranny<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":131,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[61,58],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-225940","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-Commentary","category-Current_Affairs"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225940","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/131"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=225940"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225940\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":225941,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/225940\/revisions\/225941"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=225940"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=225940"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=225940"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
