Are your views on the list of 'domestic terrorism' indicators?

Now, Trump’s budget request reveals, the FBI runs a dedicated “NSPM-7 Joint Mission Center”; with personnel from 10 federal agencies, it is busy “proactively” identifying domestic terrorists motivated by any of the following beliefs:

  • “anti-Americanism,”
  • “anti-capitalism,”
  • “anti-Christianity,”
  • “extremism on migration,”
  • “Hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family,”
  • “support for the overthrow of the U.S. Government,”
  • extremism on “gender,”
  • extremism on “race,”
  • Hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on “religion,” and
  • Hostility towards those who hold traditional views on “morality.”

    Every one of those is ambiguous by design, so they can be utilized against the enemies of the State. Very Orwellian.

    You know what can technically get classified under “support for the overthrow of the U.S. Government”? The four-year peaceful transition we’ve always participated in, even during wartime. So I guess if you support fair and public election of your officials, you’re a criminal now.
