The Department of Homeland Security, released another
Summary of Terrorism Threat to the U.S. Homeland on February 7, 2022. Below is the opening paragraph,
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. 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. Mass casualty attacks and other acts of targeted violence conducted by lone offenders and small groups acting in furtherance of ideological beliefs and/or personal grievances pose an ongoing threat to the nation. While the conditions underlying the heightened threat landscape have not significantly changed over the last year, the convergence of the following factors has increased the volatility, unpredictability, and complexity of the threat environment: (1) the proliferation of false or misleading narratives, which sow discord or undermine public trust in U.S. government institutions; (2) continued calls for violence directed at U.S. critical infrastructure; soft targets and mass gatherings; faith-based institutions, such as churches, synagogues, and mosques; institutions of higher education; racial and religious minorities; government facilities and personnel, including law enforcement and the military; the media; and perceived ideological opponents; and (3) calls by foreign terrorist organizations for attacks on the United States based on recent events. - U.S. Department of Homeland Security
When we scroll down the brief, we find that the top issues are YOU,
Key factors contributing to the current heightened threat environment include:
1) The proliferation of false or misleading narratives, which sow discord or undermine public trust in U.S. government
institutions:
- For example, there is widespread online proliferation of false or misleading narratives regarding unsubstantiated
widespread election fraud and COVID-19. Grievances associated with these themes inspired violent extremist attacks
during 2021.
- Malign foreign powers have and continue to amplify these false or misleading narratives in efforts to damage the
United States.

You, I, and others, have been posting contrary information to .gov information on
Unchainedpreppers and other on-line boards. So you are now officially a "threat to the U.S. Homeland". I wonder if the most recent attack on Joe Rogan has anything to do about this brief? When will they becoming against other dissenting opinions to the .gov narrative.
Martin Niemoller's poem comes to mind,
First they came for the Communists,
and I didn?t speak up,
because I wasn?t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn?t speak up,
because I wasn?t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn?t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me.
