The claim by Newsweek is rather alarming – that the Dept of Homeland Security and FBI consider President Trump supporters as domestic violent extremists (DVE’s) in combination with official designation from the FBI as “domestic terrorists.”
There’s nothing within the article, the citations or the quotes from multiple anonymous officials within the domestic surveillance system, that will seem a surprise if you take away the hyperbolic use of adjectives and descriptive statements. Yes, to the Newsweek readers, anyone who would challenge their worldview or political position is dangerous; after all, these are the same people who equate words with violence.
Remember, DHS Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas recently announced a quasi-government panel that would be the arbiters of definitions. In essence, the braintrust who will define activity to be compatible with the rules and restrictions on speech. Officially the group is called the “Homeland Intelligence Experts Group“; unofficially Mayorkas has selected the domestic speech police. Fear much? 😂
Does it worry me to be labeled as a domestic terrorist because I distrust government and support President Trump? No, not one bit. Label me with whatever description you need in order to quantify your fear; it matters not.
Within the pearl-clutching Newsweek outline, the thread which ties the claims together is intelligence official’s inability to quantify the threat We The People represent because there are just too many of us.
…”But I say this as a citizen as much as a government analyst,” the senior official says. “We are in a unique moment and the numbers are daunting.” (read more)
Daunting? Yes, I’m sure they are. With President Trump carrying support from the majority of the country, does the “threat” description applied by the minority really matter just because they are in power? Again, no, not even a little.
The need for control is a reaction to fear. Please, quiver more; we laugh, love, enjoy our family and celebrate our freedom assembly regardless of your tremors.
I have experienced these arbiters first-hand. I have been to their inquisition and laughed. It doesn’t matter what deep state institutional echo-chamber they crawl out from; they are weak and pathetic people who could not survive without the indulgences and facilitating services the “extremists” control.
Oh, the truckers are “potential threats”, lol, ok good; try finding food in the supermarket if the truckers take a break for a week to restore their wounded sensibilities.
Go live your best life and laugh at these knuckleheads. They are fleas looking into the furnace…
We are the workforce.
We are also digital warriors, meme creators, artists, researchers, autists and ordinarily invisible people now considered dissidents in our own country.
We are the backbone of industry, the people who keep it all working. The builders, diggers and blue-collar workforce that keeps everything functioning.
We are the people they will never fully control. We speak in languages they do not understand, and we absorb targeted ridicule as fuel.
We are the movers of goods, the truckers, the farmers, the nameless people behind the skilled trades that keep what they call American society moving.
We are the people who grow the food, pick the food, transport the food, stock the food, cook the food and facilitate the life they live.
We are a visible, yet disregarded, insurgent force within their sphere of life that is never considered, yet we control the outcomes of every moment they value.
We can stop it all, bring it all to a standstill, if we simply stop doing what we do.
We pick up the trash, answer the phones, run cables to their devices, mow their lawns, solve their problems, control the flow of essential services and keep our heads below the radar.
We are the majority.
We are a self-reliant, freedom loving, normally peaceful and God-fearing assembly.
We drive them to their destination; we are comfortably out of mind until needed, and yet we are irreplaceable for the things they require.
We are armed with tools, hammers, pens, rulers, mice, pickup trucks, laptops, post-it notes, stickers and alternate forms of messaging that circumvent the control mechanisms deployed to create our silence.
We are inside every facility, every institution, every meeting, every moment of their existence – and we notice everything.
We have eyes of mice and ears of elephants. We are there when they do not expect, and we melt away before they notice our appearance.
We are smart, strategic, highly intelligent and carry a brutally obvious and pragmatic common sense that finds optimal solutions to everything.
We identify our tribe immediately and without conversation.
We see what they hide, we hear what they whisper, we decipher their codes, and we understand the complexity they create in their effort to conceal.
We control the physical world that operates around every element of society, and we value real and tangible assets.
We do not sit around pontificating eloquently about philosophic nuances; we get it done.
We are the people who facilitate their ability to take us for granted, and we do so without issue, resentment or desire for recognition.
We are optimistic, affable, kind, generous, friendly, loyal, warm and quietly spiritual in purpose.
We are polite, considerate and slow to anger.
We prefer to be left alone. However, pushed entirely far enough, decisions are reached. Right now, we are tenuously staring with deepened gaze.
We are increasingly pissed off…. Big Time! However, we are not destabilized.
We are awake.
In every town, village and hamlet we are encountering the same conversation. On every porch, in every shop, at every event, the topic is the same.
Right now, we are taking this fury to the communication and commerce platforms where we hope to influence outcomes. But if that effort fails, and/or if the command-and-control authorities make the mistake of thinking they can shut down our visibility and therefore control our dissent, there will be no quarter provided in the aftermath.
The two biggest mistakes they can make right now is not understanding why we bow our heads.
First, our heads are not bowed because we are subservient, cowering or accepting the current effort to control us….
….We are praying!
Their second mistake would be to ignore that we are not praying for us…
….We are praying for those who trespass against us!
They may not like what follows, “Amen!”
We are resolute and of common purpose.
Call us whatever you want, it matters not.
We are MAGA!
And we are Americans!

I am MAGA! Garland you’re a filthy excuse for someone in charge to defend this once great Republic.
You stooped so low in bringing up the memories of your ancestors to gain sympathy when they would be rolling over in their graves . You turned the DOJ and FBI into the modern day Brown Shirts of the Democrat Party.
I do wish everyone who facilitates the existence of the parasites’ lifestyle would JUST STOP.
STARVE THAT RABID BEAST.
By now, there’s no excuse for not doing exactly that, because THAT’S ALL IT WOULD TAKE.
Simply withdraw support & deny consent for all their power tripping. FFS
How exactly do we refuse to pay taxes without being thrown in prison?
You don’t. You and millions of others stop paying and starve the beast into submission.
If that does not work, we storm the Bastille and erect the guillotine in the town square.
From the Newsweek article:
“Though Trump and MAGA are never mentioned in the official description of AGAAVE-Other, government insiders acknowledge that it applies to political violence ascribed to the former president’s supporters.
“What other name could we use?” asks one FBI officer who spoke with Newsweek… “Obviously if Democratic Party supporters resort to violence, it [AGAAVE-Other] would apply to them as well. It doesn’t matter that there is a low likelihood of that. So yes, in practical terms, it refers to MAGA, though the carefully constructed language is wholly nonpartisan.”
Bold is mine.
Wow. Newsweek reports that some FBI guy said that there is a “low likelihood” [of violence occurring] when “Democratic Party supporters” are involved. But, “in practical terms” [it’s only likely when MAGA is involved].
Has the FBI ever heard of Black Lives Matter? Do they recall the demonstrations by BLM, Antifa, and other “Democratic Party supporters” where cities were burned, property destroyed, stores looted, people beaten and killed, and key regions and buildings occupied and blocked? Happened only a few years ago!
Or were the videos and photographs lying and the FBI stands firm on the belief that those protests were all “mostly peaceful”.
1984 is now.
You need real AGAAVE to make a TEquillA PARTY Great Again
Homeland Security MUST be dismantled in its entirety….. And ASAP
The strong and true people of faith are persecuted. Jesus said that they would always be persecuted.
Two examples: 1. The Orthodox church in Ukraine, long time there, has been persecuted by V. Zelensky. Monks and priests have been threatened and arrested, contents of a centuries- old monastery and church have been removed and distributed by the Zelensky government to some EU nations.
2. Matt Gaetz is hated by many. He has been under a congressionally-instituted investigation for years…they are hunting for ethics violations. Matt Gaetz has boldly professed his Christianity. In an interview with Steve Bannon on Oct. 4, Matt said that when he went home to his family after the drama of Oct. 3, his wife pointed out Scripture about divine providence, and how it was evident in the outcome of events that day. It is my belief that Matt Gaetz is under heavy fire because he sheds light on wrong, evil doings. Rats do not like to be exposed by God’s light of truth.
The era we are in in American will only get darker. The peasants have only just begun to spit at the ignorant elite’s carriages. The befuddlement, amnesia and sophistry of the elites is slowing turning to fear.
They are religiously sharpening the tools we’ve given them to protect us. But all evidence is that they intend to use those tools against us. The show trials warm things up. What’s next?
I have seen a lot of violence take place on the news, but all but the smallest dribble was carried out by forces of the left, whether they were criminal types, left wingers, or government agencies (often under cover and egging on a situation). I have seen buildings burned to the ground, vehicles smashed and torched, stores looted, citizens attacked and beaten, government undercover individuals encouraging and attempting to lead people into violent behavior, I have seen citizens brutally attacked on the streets, in the subways, in buildings, and on and on and on! However, I have seen little or no actual violence coming from the right. But I sure have seen some on the right take terrible beatings, then thrown in jail without bail, decent food, reasonable conditions, or humane treatment. Seems to me the crimes are all coming from the other side.
They declared war on over half of america, anyone catch that?
The heavily armed half, too.
Stand up and be counted, Wolverines!
Do I get a sticker or a lapel pin or anything? I’m proud as kcuf to be labeled a Domestic Violent Extremist (said in deep bass with an echo following)
You get an American Flag lapel pin, which can only be worn upside down.
Yup!
You can wear it right next to your “Basket of Deplorables” pin.

We are also the people who could totally annihilate every single one of them if they push us too far. Be careful what you do to our president.
This administration is declaring war on a well armed standing force of 75 million?
And they are poking the Russian Bear?
Are they suicidal?
No. They are engaging in “psy-ops” against you. It’s an enormous and elaborate BLUFF.

2 Chronicles c 18 v 20/21
The prophet Micciah pronouncing the destruction of king Ahab.
20Then a spirit came forward and stood before the Lord, and said, ‘I will persuade him.’ The Lord said to him, ‘In what way?’ 21So he said, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And the Lord said, ‘You shall persuade him and also prevail; go out and do so.’ 22Therefore look! The Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these prophets of yours, and the Lord has declared disaster against you.”

Hi Merrick!
i’m humbly working in the background on a senatorial campaign in a red state and we don’t seem to walk in fear, but rather rely more solidly on faith… behold the pretenders, for they can’t look you in the eyes… Godspeed Treepers, we’ve got this!
If the Feds are discussing their plans with “Newsweek,” then I am very sure that all of this is actually: “psy-ops, and nothing more.”
Psy-Ops is an inexpensive strategy designed to persuade the opposition that something is true and inevitable, so that he responds accordingly, without requiring you to actually make it true. The Greeks basically conquered Troy using psy-ops. If you can persuade the opponent that you are invincible such that he surrenders … “well, he surrendered.”
I see a very elaborately-constructed message that is designed to persuade millions of Americans that a suddenly all-powerful, tyrannical Government is poised to wipe them out of existence. For, say, “being a Trump Supporter.” (Is that a trademark yet?)
But, I am bold enough now to flatly say that “it is, in fact, nothing more than an impotent message.” I no longer believe their psy-ops. I will not march to their drum. I will not live in fear. I refuse.
God Bless us all.
He does that every day. Even when we don’t see it.
Wow that picture in the article looked like something you would see in a 1950s communistic propaganda piece. I mean, yelling guy front and center, red background (despite caption saying in front of the capitol), eyes and some faces blacked out…everything to induce fear (even included the American flag!). The ability to mind control through persuasion is absolutely stunning to witness, and quite disturbing knowing it is happening to our fellow citizens.
Check this out! Dr. Dave Janda is FANTASTIC!!!
This article is not a leak, it is a warning designed to frighten the sheep. It warns that those who attend rallies, donate or support Trump are terrorists. We’ll if I am to be treated as a terrorist I guess I’ll just have to put 30 years of experience to good use. Just kidding, I’ll just play solitaire and donate to Brandon.
More Ministry of Truth than public servant.
nice water supply you got there. be a shame if that pipe got ruptured or the supply got contaminated
My Word…me thinks that NewsWeek need clickbait fer sure 😛 Of course maybe The Atlantic is not quite the right place for this kinda writings 🙂
Now they come out swingin with this:
“Political analyst Brian Klaas warned on Sunday that a small subset of Donald Trump’s supporters are “highly likely” to try and kill people ahead of the 2024 presidential election, as the former president’s rhetoric continues to become more violent.”
Dr. Brian Klaas is an Associate Professor in Global Politics at University College London and a contributing writer for The Atlantic. He is also the author of the book Corruptible: Who Gets Power and How It Changes Us and host of the Power Corrupts podcast.
Amen Sundance! Amen.
Our local hospital is still requiring visitors of patients to “check-in”, present their photo ID, state who they are visiting, get a visitor sticker, and check-out when you leave. They also asked for my phone number. I asked if that was required. They said it was optional, so of course, I declined. The “check-in/out” process is their method of trying to limit visitors per patient to 2. Not sure why they need a photo ID and phone number (probably was from the “contact tracing” angle).
I very much prefer a world where we are treated as adults – innocent adults. People will generally behave well when so treated. Those who behave very badly should be punished quickly and severely. One small step in avoiding a “papers please” society is to refrain from providing any more personal information than is legitimately required/needed.
I’m not surprised by this. Every Federal LEO hates the US and hates Conservatives. Why? People who enter law enforcement tend to be controlling, hence the term ‘law enforcement’ with emphasis on ‘enforcement’. This isn’t necessarily bad but it does induce an ‘us-them’ mindset. As to why Federal LEO agencies hate the US, they are Federalists with a very strong beliefe that the Federal Government is and should be all powerful and all encompassing. If you don’t support that you aren’t just someone who has different ideas, you are now their deadliest enemy.
I think we need a big D tattooed on the forehead of every registered Democrat to Identify the traitors to this country! They should be proud to wear one! It will make it easy for the Maga Republicans to know who they are!
DHS is a domestic enemy of the Republic. It is, however, only one among many.
