Continuing
(b) The JTTFs shall investigate potential Federal crimes relating to acts of recruiting or radicalizing persons for the purpose of:
(i) political violence, terrorism, or conspiracy against rights; or
(ii) the violent deprivation of any citizen's rights.
So, when ICE detains and deports a US citizen are they now terrorists? When a FCC commissioner threatens a media company's license over speech that he doesn't like is he now a terrorist? When the editor of a main stream publication explicitly advocates for violence, is he a terrorist?
"(c) The JTTFs shall also investigate:
(i) institutional and individual funders, and officers and employees of organizations, that are responsible for, sponsor, or otherwise aid and abet the principal actors engaging in the criminal conduct described in subsections (a) and (b) of this section; and"
WOW, this is a direct assault on individuals and entities that fund left wing organizations. The definition of who and what is a terrorist is incredibly vague.
"(ii) non-governmental organizations and American citizens residing abroad or with close ties to foreign governments, agents, citizens, foundations, or influence networks engaged in violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (22 U.S.C. 611 et seq.) or money laundering by funding, creating, or supporting entities that engage in activities that support or encourage domestic terrorism."

"(e) The JTTFs may, to the extent permitted by law, request operational assistance from and coordinate with law enforcement partners when investigating domestic terrorism."
Domestic terrorism IS NOT A THING
"(h) The Attorney General shall issue specific guidance that ensures domestic terrorism priorities include politically motivated terrorist acts such as organized doxing campaigns, swatting, rioting, looting, trespass, assault, destruction of property, threats of violence, and civil disorder. "
domestic terrorism is trespassing? WOW
I wonder why the January 6 insurrectionists aren't considered terrorists
"This guidance shall also include an identification of any behaviors, fact patterns, recurrent motivations, or other indicia common to organizations and entities that coordinate these acts in order to direct efforts to identify and prevent potential violent activity. "
So, thought crime, got it.
"(i) The Secretary of the Treasury (Secretary), in coordination with the Attorney General, shall make available all resources, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to identify and disrupt financial networks that fund domestic terrorism and political violence. '
So, you donate to a liberal organization who help organize a legal, lawful, peaceful protest. A rightwing provocateur vandalizes an ICE van. The organizers, the liberal organizers and those who provided donations are now subject to being considered terrorists
WOW!!!!!!!
"(j) The Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service (Commissioner) shall take action to ensure that no tax-exempt entities are directly or indirectly financing political violence or domestic terrorism. ''
IOW weaponize the IRS against -------- political enemies.
"(l) All Federal law enforcement agencies with investigative authority shall adopt strategies similar to those used to address violent crime and organized crime to disrupt and dismantle entire networks of criminal activity."
Disrupt, iow pre-crime.
This is totally ------ up
But, then again, I told you so
Would you buy drugs from that man?
