Biden Admin Labeled COVID Mandate Opponents ‘Domestic Violent Extremists’
Another instance of Biden’s people labeling people who think differently as domestic terrorists.
Catherine Herridge published new documents showing former President Joe Biden’s administration labeling those who opposed COVID mandates as “domestic violent extremists (DVEs).”
Herridge’s X posts are for subscribers only. Here are the screenshots of the documents in the first post:
The report, which the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, has declassified, claims that “anti government or anti authority violent extremists,” specifically militias, “characterize COVID-19 vaccination and mask mandates as evidence of government overreach.” A sweeping range of COVID narratives, the report states, “have resonated” with DVEs “motivated by QAnon.”
The FBI, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) coauthored the December 13, 2021 intelligence product whose title reads, “DVEs and Foreign Analogues May React Violently to COVID-19 Mitigation Mandates.”
The report cites criticism of mandates as “prominent narratives” related to violent extremism. These narratives “include the belief that COVID-19 vaccines are unsafe, especially for children, are part of a government or global conspiracy to deprive individuals of their civil liberties and livelihoods, or are designed to start a new social or political order.“
“It’s a way they could go to social media companies and say, ‘You don’t want to propagate domestic terrorism so you should take down this content,’” said former FBI agent Steve Friend.
Officials warned agents not to violate anyone’s rights protected by the First Amendment.
However, Friend advised them on an approach he coined “pre-crime,” which is just as disturbing: “The only way they could become aware that you were engaged in wrongthink, as they define it by their own definition of ‘Anti Government and Anti Authority Violent Extremism,’ is to monitor your First Amendment activities or have them reported to you.”
No Intelligence
The screenshots from the second post:
Apparently, the authors did not base the report on actual intelligence but on social media and media reports:
The report suggests the Biden administration’s political goals, such as full compliance with the COVID vaccine mandates, drove intelligence collection requirements so that the raw data would reinforce, not undercut the policy. Versus, an open minded approach to intelligence collection, which seeks the facts on the ground to inform government officials who make policy decisions.
During Biden’s famous 2022 “red speech,” named after the blood red background behind him, he said, “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.”
There are scant references to original source data in the report. Rather, it uses language that forecasts the potential for violence such as “vaccination mandates for school-age children, employees facing termination for lack of compliance, or perceptions of unfair healthcare treatment for the unvaccinated might trigger increased violence by DVEs.”
I’m not surprised. As Herridge pointed out, Biden used scare tactics in his speech with veiled threats against those who opposed mandates.
Many of us who opposed the mandates from forced masking to forced vaccines are not a part of MAGA or voted for Trump.
The Biden administration tried to beat us into compliance:
When he announced the mandates, Biden disparaged the unvaccinated, using the phrase “pandemic of the unvaccinated,” and stating, “We’ve been patient. But our patience is wearing thin. And your refusal has cost all of us.“
Thousands of American workers were fired for noncompliance with mandates, and the Biden administration coordinated with social media companies to censor “often-true” stories about Covid vaccine side effects and injuries. Emails obtained through Freedom of Information Act request in 2023 revealed that the CDC was aware of vaccine-associated myocarditis risk at the time, but chose not to disclose it.
But the Children!
Of course, the administration wanted to use children as pawns in their evil plan: “The availability of a vaccine for all school-age children might spur conspiracy theories and perceptions that schools will vaccinate children against parents’ will and may increase the potential for violence.”
Remember, parents. If you oppose anything the government forces on your child, you are a domestic violence extremist! That’s what the Biden administration did to parents lashing out at school board meetings.
The government is our betters! It knows what is best for our children, not parents! (sarcasm)
Diversity of Thought is Bad
Good Lord, the administration titled one section, “Diverse Sociopolitical Factors Amplifying Persistent Domestic Violent Extremist Threat.”
Fall in line, people. Think like us, or you’re a DVE!
The administration used stats, mostly from January 6, as proof of the dangers of diverse thought. I mean, 61% of the DVE cases stemmed from January 6.
Apparently, FBI information showed Militia Violent Extremists (MVEs) threatened a bunch of places and people due to mandates. I see no citations, though.

Comments
“No Intelligence” should be the tagline of that entire administration.
This comes out mere days after the FDA confirmed that concerns about the vaccines were valid and MONTHS after Joe Biden preemptively pardoned every coconspirator but Donald Trump. (Let’s be honest)
They lied. People died. There is nothing anyone can do but rehash years old talking points like they’re revelations. What are we supposed to do?
Please tell how Trump was a co-conspirator? Did he demand the development of mRNA vaccines? Did he shut down businesses? Isolate people in their homes? Did he do anything more than abide by the “experts”? What would have been the response if Trump had said “COVID isn’t that dangerous, the vaccines being delivered won’t be safe or effective, ignore State governors’ demands for isolation and shutdowns”? He would have been denounced as “anti-science” and likely impeached. But he didn’t know these things at the time, or wasn’t authorized (by the Constitution) to interfere with what was being done by State governors.
How is he a co-conspirator?
By mid to late spring of ’20 it was apparent that the ‘Rona wasn’t what folks claimed. The masking and 6ft rule came.from Trump’s ‘Rona team and his Surgeon General reversed the position on masks from ‘ineffective’ to ‘mandatory’. Trump himself got into it over the Fauci Fascism with Gov DeSantis and Trump castigated the few Nations that didn’t lockdown. Anyone who wasn’t fully onboard with the recommendations coming out of the Trump WH was given the ‘business’ by Trump.
In fairness to Trump his public health advisors were selling him this bunk but it took him until late summer
of ’20 to bring in alternative voices like Dr Atlas. The Authors of the Great Barrington Declaration had each been publishing and speaking out for many months trying to offer a contrary viewpoint based on actual evidence but their voices were ignored and they were largely marginalized/ostracized until their joint publication in Oct of the GBD. I read Dr Bhattacharya and watched a podcast in February (?) ’20 that basically confirmed my own layman’s view that all the ‘Rona recommendations were ineffective bunk at best and created more harm at worst.
Trump was mislead or played or however you want to frame the deceit of the public health community. No question but until Dr Atlas arrived there wasn’t much diversity of opinion or counter within the Admin to offer up opposing views and force more questions to be asked and answered before continuing these policies. Trump allowed that. Granted that Biden and his lefty wokiesta Admin went further to near catastrophic disaster but the ball started rolling in that direction under Trump. We.shouldn’t minimize this nor make it more than it was but he’s responsible for Executive Branch both good and bad in his term.
“The only way they could become aware that you were engaged in wrongthink, as they define it by their own definition of ‘Anti Government and Anti Authority Violent Extremism,’ is to monitor your First Amendment activities or have them reported to you.”
Government has no authority to know if, how, when, or where I’m exercising any of my rights.
But, they assume that authority.
Nothing posted on a public facing website is private nor is there any expectation of privacy in public whether IRL or online. Cameras are installed dang near nationwide including in Podunk towns to read licence plates and send back location data on vehicles with a BOLO. Then there’s the traffic camera’s and private cameras and security cameras recording sidewalk and street activities.
Now a private email or nonpublic activity on your own property should be different and not subject to observation but the insistence of LEO for the ‘open field’ doctrine brings even private activities under scrutiny. IMO the limiting principle on ‘open field’ doctrine should be the same as.’plain view’ meaning that as long as it is observable with the naked eye and without maneuvering or searching around then that is ok. So if LEO drives down the roadway in a routine patrol and can see something in course of normal driving then sure. Not when they use a telescope or binos or a.drone or walk onto the property coming closer to.what they want to.see. Go get a warrant and if they don’t have enough to gain a warrant then go away.

Meanwhile, communist organizations (e.g. BLM, Klantifa, the miscellaneous “Palestinian” orgs, etc.) essentially get a pass.
I suspect that Biden’s handlers would have preferred to label most regular Americans as domestic violent terrorists.
You won’t see any citations because they are just making sh*t up. Orwell was off by only 40 years plus or minus. Wrongthink… In America?
Proving once again Democrats are the party of the criminally insane.
Once you accept that COVID-19 was a political bio weapon designed to a) remove Trump from office and b) facilitate universal and permanent progressive control of the United States then everything they did in 2020-2024 makes sense.
They chose poorly, however. Barry Soetoro said himself that there was nothing that Joe Biden couldn’t (bleep) up, beginning with proclaiming that he was going to pick a woman of color for his VP. Then, in a manner only a man with a room temperature IQ could pull off, he picks a woman who is not only not black but whose ancestors were slaveholders. That and her public persona was that of a habitual DUI offender in a police body cam video.
I am saddened for all that were forced to take the jab or lied to to take the jab. But those willing and eager to commit jabbicide …. not much. If one thinks in numbers…. more of the Left proportionally have done damage to themselves. More proof that the Dems are kindred spirits to totalitarian states… control by any means…
I’m starting to think the Moderna led to my brother’s sudden steep decline and death, and that the Pfizer (only took the first two) is what is slowly killing me.
You may be right
all the while hiring communist russia trained nina jankowitz to lead the “disinformation czar” role to further squelch the pro human activity that the maga agenda embraced
one day it will be uncovered that she was given that role as payback for how she helped hillary/dnc with the whole russian hoax agenda
the lefty run demvid19 “takez shots our else” program was a carbon copy of the fdr led tuskeegee syph test as administered to poc in the usa
except of course and not surprisingly, squarely aimed at the white population as you can recall the blm was allowed/encouraged to do as they please ..vax no vax ,mask no mask,,as long as they rioted in the streets ala the hitler youth movement to keep the citizens in fear and of corse
the j ews knowing their time was up…welcome to your dc murderer from the other day
Biden labelled those who opposed COVID mandates “domestic violent extremists”
Yeah, but what about “violent extremist anti-zionists” who are two or three breaths away from murdering Jews?
They’re a protected class.
Obtain, study, analyze, investigate, depose, report.Arrest, indict, convict, fine, imprison.
The fact that QAnon is used even as partial justification for any action is just laughable. I’d venture a guess that most folks here viewed QAnon as either a ploy or a possible government honeypot. It just shows how gullible or ignorant the people behind the scenes thought the public was. .
I remember getting massive downvotes when I would say that there was no way in hell I was going to take something that was designed formulated and deployed in less than a year and that included testing.
I still don’t regret not taking that poison garbage
Our government actually hires people to write gobbledygook and then employs others to go out and monitor citizenry at large to ensure compliance? (Except at the French Laundry, of course.)
The Biden administration wouldn’t have recognized a domestic violence extremist if it had watched someone burn down a building in front of a live television feed.
Or if they had overtaken local police stations.
Meanwhile biden was lying about and covering up his own medical condition to protect his own position?
