Our Greatest Domestic Threat: Pro-Government Extremists<\/a>
\nRepublican leaders should vow to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and commence a clean sweep of the swamp\u2019s pro-government extremists.<\/em>
\nBy Thaddeus G. McCotter<\/p>\n

Though alarming and depressing, we can no longer avoid recognizing that America\u2019s greatest domestic threat is from pro-government extremists.<\/p>\n

We rue that pro-government extremists caused immense destruction during their less-than-\u201cpeaceful protests\u201d in 2020; and we witness the continuing damage caused by their neurotic, totalitarian response to a plethora of problems, such as the COVID-19 pandemic..<\/p>\n

Indeed, what makes the pro-government extremists so dangerous is their far greater numbers than their anti-government extremist counterparts. Their noxious ideology that the citizen is subordinate to the omnipotent state is incessantly \u201cnormalized\u201d and propagandized by their corporate media comrades.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Worse, their pro-government extremism is being indoctrinated throughout American public and private institutions, including K-12 education, higher education, and the military. In fact, pro-government extremists have infiltrated the American government, and are weaponizing the powers of the state to wage war on dissenting citizens\u2019 liberty and livelihoods.<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In a nation that constitutionally recognizes and respects an individual citizen\u2019s God-given rights, including free speech and the power to peaceably assemble to petition the government for the redress of grievances, only the infiltration of the Department of Homeland Security by pro-government extremists could explain Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas\u2019\u00a0February 7\u00a0National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin<\/a>, which included the following \u201cSummary of Terrorism Threat to the U.S. Homeland\u201d:<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The United States remains in a heightened threat environment fueled by several factors, including an online environment filled with false or misleading narratives and conspiracy theories, and other forms of\u00a0mis- dis- and mal-information<\/a>\u00a0(MDM) introduced and\/or amplified by foreign and domestic threat actors. These threat actors seek to exacerbate societal friction to sow discord and undermine public trust in government institutions to encourage unrest, which could potentially inspire acts of violence . . . While the conditions underlying the heightened threat landscape have not significantly changed over the last year, the convergence of the following factors has increased the volatility, unpredictability, and complexity of the threat environment: (1) the proliferation of false or misleading narratives, which sow discord or undermine public trust in U.S. government institutions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What constitutes these \u201ckey factors\u201d driving the department\u2019s assessment of a \u201ccurrent heightened threat environment\u201d?<\/p>\n

For example, there is widespread online proliferation of false or misleading narratives regarding unsubstantiated widespread election fraud and COVID-19. Grievances associated with these themes inspired violent extremist attacks during 2021. [And] malign foreign powers have and continue to amplify these false or misleading narratives in efforts to damage the United States.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Upon a cursory reading, one can be forgiven for thinking Mayorkas\u2019 terrorist threat summary is describing the Left\u2019s subversive, foreigner-abetted Russiagate disinformation campaign against the Trump Administration. But no, these pro-government extremists in the executive branch are bent upon criminalizing dissent and quashing constitutional rights\u2014which constitute a direct \u201cthreat\u201d to their abuses of power, including their continued weaponization of the federal government against dissenters.<\/p>\n

Responding to the DHS threat assessment, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.)\u00a0said<\/a>: \u201cPresident Biden believes the greatest threat to the homeland is any American using their First Amendment right to question the Government. State-sponsored threats against free speech are un-American. [Secretary] Mayorkas should rescind this intimidation tactic immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n

McCarthy might have added that this pro-government extremist-crafted DHS threat assessment is deeply ironic, as it is itself contributing to \u201can online environment filled with false or misleading narratives and conspiracy theories, and other forms of\u00a0mis- dis- and mal-information<\/a>\u00a0(MDM)\u201d that will be \u201cintroduced and\/or amplified by foreign and domestic threat actors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Notwithstanding this quibble, McCarthy is correct. Given his recognition of the threat posed by pro-government extremists, we should expect him to vow to impeach Mayorkas and commence a clean sweep of the swamp\u2019s pro-government extremists.<\/p>\n

For while a handful of anti-government extremists scheming in a hovel in the middle of nowhere is dangerous; a plethora of pro-government extremists running the federal government and other institutions is a clear danger to our free people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
