It\u2019s almost laughable to recall some of the things that were forced on us. Other times, it\u2019s downright chilling\u2014as when Joe Biden tried to impose sweeping mask and vaccine mandates on the entire country.<\/p>\n<p>At PJ Media, we pushed back hard against those mandates from the beginning. For that, we were likely branded \u201cdomestic violent extremists\u201d by the Biden administration.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s true. Newly declassified intelligence documents reveal that the Biden administration categorized Americans who opposed COVID-19 mask and vaccine mandates as potential &#8220;Domestic Violent Extremists&#8221; (DVEs). This wasn&#8217;t mere rhetoric\u2014the DVE designation grants federal agencies expanded surveillance and investigative powers against targeted individuals, according to intelligence records recently declassified and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.public.news\/p\/new-biden-administration-labeled\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">obtained<\/a>\u00a0by Public and Catherine Herridge Reports.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\"><strong>The report, which the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, has declassified, claims that \u201canti government or anti authority violent extremists,\u201d specifically militias, \u201ccharacterize COVID-19 vaccination and mask mandates as evidence of government overreach.\u201d A sweeping range of COVID narratives, the report states, \u201chave resonated\u201d with DVEs \u201cmotivated by QAnon.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\"><strong>The FBI, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) coauthored the December 13, 2021 intelligence product whose title reads, \u201cDVEs and Foreign Analogues May React Violently to COVID-19 Mitigation Mandates.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The report flags opposition to mandates as one of the so-called \u201cprominent narratives\u201d linked to violent extremism.
