In June, the Biden administration asserted that guys who are unable to score with women may be terrorist threats due to \u201cinvoluntary celibate\u2013violent extremism.\u201d That revelation was included in the administration\u2019s National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism, which identified legions of new potential \u201cdomestic terrorists\u201d that the feds can castigate and investigate.<\/p>\n<p>The White House claims its new war on terrorism and extremism is \u201ccarefully tailored to address violence and reduce the factors that \u2026infringe on the free expression of ideas.\u201d But the prerogative to define extremism includes the power to revile disapproved beliefs. The report warns that \u201cnarratives of fraud in the recent general election \u2026 will almost certainly spur some [domestic violent extremists] to try to engage in violence this year.\u201d If accusations of 2020 electoral shenanigans are formally labeled as extremist threats, that could result in far more repression (aided by Facebook and Twitter) of dissenting voices. How will this work out any better than the concerted campaign by the media and Big Tech last fall to suppress all information about Hunter Biden\u2019s laptop before the election? And how can Biden be trusted to be the judge after he effectively accused Facebook of mass murder for refusing to totally censor anyone who raised doubts about the COVID-19 vaccine?<\/p>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Biden Crackdown on Thought Crimes The Biden administration is seeking to radically narrow the boundaries of respectable American political thought.\u00a0The administration has repeatedly issued statements and reports that could automatically castigate citizens who distrust the federal government.
