A recently released Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) document titled “Domestic Terrorism Symbols Guide”* links common protest symbols to “terrorism” — another marker in a common theme of conflating militant protest for social justice with deadly terrorist violence within the United States. Groups like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Brennan Center have raised warnings about such documents, citing inadequate protections for people’s constitutional rights.
There are 350 million people in the US, I have a higher bar for them tearing huge holes in our society to catch a tiny tiny amount of people.
Especially when we could put the insane amounts of money we throw at these bigots into giving people healthcare or other social support services and save far far far far more lives.
Also, as I said elsewhere the FBI utterly failed to anticipate or prevent an attempted violent coup of the U.S. government that would have likely resulted in direct body violence against serving U.S. politicians at the VERY least. I am not sure the FBI could have failed at anything more basic to what they do.
This is probably an unpopular opinion; but didn’t some of these ABC intelligence groups ETC; let’s just say GoV… Didn’t IT fail to prevent 9/11?
Just asking questions…
And didn’t the government somewhat fail to compensate or hold those entities responsible for compensation to 9/11 victims and their families ? i.e. insurance companies ETC.
