The American public is still learning more about the Biden regime’s sinister nature and how it felt about its political opponents.
On Friday, DNI Director Tulsi Gabbard declassified documents that revealed that Americans who opposed the draconian and cruel COVID mandates were declared “Domestic Violent Extremists.” Michael Shellenberger’s Public and Catherine Herridge Reports first obtained the newly declassified records.
Former FBI agent Steve Friend explained to Public that the designation created an “articulable purpose” for FBI or other government agents to open an “assessment” of individuals, which is often the first step toward a formal investigation. In other words, COVID opponents were going to be potentially investigated as domestic terrorists.
As one will see below, Biden’s FBI, Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) co-authored a December 13, 2021 intelligence product titled “DVEs and Foreign Analogues May React Violently to COVID-19 Mitigation Mandates.”
LOOK:
As Public notes, the report calls legit criticism of mandates as “prominent narratives” related to violent extremism. Such narratives described in the report “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.”
Since then, opponents of COVID mandates have been vindicated on these allegations, meaning the regime wanted to suppress the truth. Friend also added that the “Domestic Violent Extremist” designation gave the government a tool to pressure Big Tech into censoring anti-COVID mandate content, which is precisely what happened.
“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,’” Friend explained.
Gabbard spoke to Fox News’s Will Cain Friday afternoon following the release of the documents.
“When you look at the language of these documents that I’ve declassified, first, the strategic implementation plan of the Biden administration’s designation of potential violent domestic extremists,” Gabbard explained.
“It really talks about people who may likely turn out to be domestic violent extremists or those who may turn to violence because of these specific ‘ideologies’ that they hold,” she added. “And there’s a consistent thread through here that these ideologies that they are characterizing as potentially turning into potentially violent activities happen to be people who were using their First Amendment rights to oppose certain policies of the Biden Administration.
“Some of the examples that are focused on here have to do with those who oppose the COVID vaccine mandates, those who oppose the mask mandates, and parents who were concerned that their children going to school may be forcibly vaccinated with the COVID vaccine without the consent or awareness of parents.”
WATCH:
HOLY CRAP! @DNIGabbard just confirmed the Biden administration put people on a domestic terr*r watchlist for simply not buying into the COVID-19 narrative.
This is one of the MANY things wrong with the Biden administration.

This news should surprise precisely no one. Last year, Jim Hoft reported that Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) put together a since-disbanded DHS intel group that included Deep State goons John Brennan and James Clapper to reclassify political dissent under the guise of “public health” so that ordinary Americans felt empowered to rat on their neighbors.
The regime also sought to declare Trump supporters as domestic terror threats and sought to set up a DHS Intel unit to target them.
