This short clip from @RandPaul is the most important minute & fifteen seconds you’ll watch this year, maybe this century. If a majority understood this, we could begin to fix what’s gone horribly wrong in this country. Bravo. pic.twitter.com/Xg71VG2XS2

‘I am starting to think I need to file a First Amendment lawsuit over that insane bulletin from the Department of Homeland Security on Feb. 7.
In case you’ve forgotten, that report – a public declaration of the federal government’s official view of terrorism – called the top terrorist threat to the United States:
false or misleading narratives, which sow discord or undermine public trust in U.S. government institutions.
Their words, not mine.
Trying to “undermine public trust in U.S. government institutions” is now a terrorist act?
Then I’m a terrorist.
Especially since the bulletin specifically mentions COVID-19: there is widespread online proliferation of false or misleading narratives regarding unsubstantiated widespread election fraud and COVID-19.
There’s that word “misleading” again. As this White House has made clear, “misleading” facts are those that lead people to opinions of conclusions it doesn’t like.

No, no one has knocked on my door or threatened to arrest me.
But that does mean the government is not targeting me – along with other prominent Covid and vaccine skeptics. Per the bulletin, the Department of Homeland Security in 2021 expanded its evaluation of online activity as part of its efforts to assess and prevent acts of violence.
The government has other tools against people it classifies as terrorists too, including plenty of secret ones.
And remember, to be a terrorist under these terms, your speech simply has to “potentially inspire acts of violence.”
Potentially.
If this isn’t a government effort to discourage lawful speech, I don’t know what is. The question is whether it is so broad and dangerous that I can prove it will have a chilling and unconstitutional effect on me (and other people) even if I do not know I am being targeted. It feels like a form of prior restraint, all the worse for being so broad.
Will courts agree? There may be only one way to find out.
And quickly, if I do it. The Rocket Docket in the Eastern District of Virginia feels like the place.’https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/berenson-v-biden/comments?token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjo0MjUyOTI1MiwicG9zdF9pZCI6NDk2MTc0NjUsIl8iOiJUSFhiaCIsImlhdCI6MTY0NjI4NTYyMywiZXhwIjoxNjQ2Mjg5MjIzLCJpc3MiOiJwdWItMzYzMDgwIiwic3ViIjoicG9zdC1yZWFjdGlvbiJ9.YQ1aOX86AA97E510dqI-cXZxp1-4hhnzxhEypEzPe1s&s=r
With the CIA, FBI and Homeland Security you would think Americans would be fairly safe from Islamic terrorism! Well think again.
“Homeland Insecurity: Think the cover-up of the Islamic State-inspired shootings at Chattanooga military sites was bad? Now it looks like authorities are covering up a stabbing spree on a major U.S. campus by an IS follower.
Even worse, the suspect, Faisal Mohammad, reportedly was on a terrorist watch list and even appeared in a local IS (also known as ISIS) threat matrix, which may help explain why the feds are hushing up the terror case. It’s another embarrassing miss.” http://news.investors.com/ibd-editorials/111115-780420-authorities-cover-up-isis-role-in-us-college-stabbings.htm
