Are We-- Misleading Narratives?

I am confident DHS classifies the bunch around here in the Yes category.

Homeland Security cites 'misleading narratives' as one reason for heightened terrorism alert
DHS warned against narratives that 'sow discord and undermine public trust in government institutions'
By Jon Brown | Fox News

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Monday issued a bulletin warning of a heightened terrorism alert in part because of "the proliferation of false or misleading narratives, which sow discord or undermine public trust in U.S. government institutions."

"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 mis- dis- and mal-information (MDM) introduced and/or amplified by foreign and domestic threat actors," DHS said in its National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin, which remains in effect until June 7.

"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," DHS further claimed.

DHS pinpointed "misleading narratives" about the 2020 presidential election and COVID-19 as specific examples of misinformation that it alleges "inspired violent extremist attacks during 2021."

"The convergence of violent extremist ideologies, false or misleading narratives, and conspiracy theories have and will continue to contribute to a heightened threat of violence in the United States," said DHS, claiming that "malign foreign powers have and continue to amplify these false or misleading narratives in efforts to damage the United States."

DHS went on to say that the primary terrorism-related threat to the United States is from lone wolves and small cells who have been radicalized by a number of foreign and domestic grievances often encountered through the consumption of online content.

Bwahahahaha...... I'm from the Government and you can trust the Government. The Government has not once in my life ever done anything that would encourage me to trust them about anything.  If you ever consider trusting anything coming from the Government, at least keep it at the County or Town level. Even then never let your guard down.

The only thing I trust about the government anymore is that they are untrustworthy.

Being branded by a corrupt government doesn't bug me.    They can call me anything but late for supper, including the most outrageous mirror images of the truth.   Not impressed (or intimidated).

What chaps my ass, is the number of people who you must hold your tongue around, lest their snowflakes melts and unicorns fall over dead from the extra global warming threat.   Like they say, everybody is entitled to their own opinions.    But slip up and hint at responsibility for consequences?   
The sheer weight and numbers of such will be what tips the island over.
