Anti-Lockdown Protesters Could Become Violent If US Revives Quarantine Measures, DHS Warns
Lockdowns and strict social distancing rules have collapsed local economies, led to depression-level unemployment, and sparked outrage among many Americans, resulting in nationwide reopening protests. A new report via the Department of Homeland Security Counterterrorism Mission Center, first seen by ABC News, warns if additional lockdowns are seen, it could very well spark violence.
“A variety of illicit actors are responding violently to stay-at-home orders and social distancing measures in place due to COVID-19, and we assess both public and private authority figures and essential workers are at highest risk of being targeted, particularly as the pandemic persists,” DHS said in the report, which was distributed to law enforcement and the federal government agencies last week.
“Even as parts of the country begin lifting some of these measures, some illicit actors probably will view any continued state-mandated orders as government overreach, and anticipated safety guidelines and policies—specifically the use of face masks—probably also will serve as a driving factor behind continued violent incidents related to the pandemic,” the report said.
The DHS report comes as the country, as a whole, has been reopening but comes as media is starting to hype the resurgence of a second coronavirus wave. Not too long ago, we asked: “Will Americans Submit To A Second Lockdown?“ — and the answer to this question is that a massive political divide continues to increase between red-state governors (who want to reopen and stay open) and blue state governors (extend lockdowns and social distancing for fear a second wave is nearing). It will likely be up to each citizen to decide if they should be quarantined in their homes again. DHS warns people could commit “violent acts” against the government if lockdowns are extended or new ones are seen.
“Public health officials are warning of a possible second-wave of COVID-19 in late 2020, which would likely result in at least some states re-implementing stay-at-home orders to slow the spread of the virus, according to press reporting. Should this occur, we would expect a repeat of current responses, including additional incidents of hostility against these restrictions, some of which could result in violence targeting law enforcement or other individuals attempting to enforce the stay-at-home orders,” according to the report.
There have already been several incidents during the first round of lockdowns, including militia with assault-style weapons rolling up to multiple state capitol buildings demanding governors reopen their respective local economies.

Second Amendment supporters hanged an effigy of Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear from a tree as they denounced his administration’s stay-at-home restrictions over Memorial Day weekend.
Horrifying beyond words…
Outside of the Kentucky Governor's mansion, an armed protester hung @AndyBeshearKY in effigy while young children watched.

On Monday, Reuters said 11 states recorded a surge in new virus cases, including Alabama, Arkansas, Minnesota, North Dakota, New Hampshire, Maryland, Maine, Nevada, Utah, Virginia, and Wisconsin. Take a look at Virginia:
Also, covidiots stormed beaches over the weekend, many with no face masks — could increase the odds of a second coronavirus wave later this year. States are reopening, giving Americans a taste of freedom after several months of lockdowns, there’s little doubt that some people will strongly object if the government issues an extension to lockdowns or a second round later this year.
Time to get up, get out and get over it. Just plain ignoring the government insanity, with tens of millions going about their normal business would stop this in a heart beat. Armed patriots do not scare me, they are invoking the second amendment as is their right, we need millions more doing the same thing.
Walking in to tractor supply a few weeks ago and a man open carrying walking out. I stopped him and asked jokingly if he would shop a little longer as I felt safer with him in the store. He high fived me….
“On Monday, Reuters said 11 states recorded a surge in new virus cases, including Alabama, Arkansas, Minnesota, North Dakota, New Hampshire, Maryland, Maine, Nevada, Utah, Virginia, and Wisconsin.”
Reuters is lying. Or they don’t check what the writers submit. Whichever.
NH has almost no cases and they’ve fallen off a cliff recently, not surged.

Everything that they publish is a lie. If they say it, it’s safe to assume that anything else is true except whatever they’ve written.
NH has twice as many drug deaths as those alleged from the Wuhan Flu. I don’t see anyone doing anything about that.
Still waiting for twatter, gaggle, and fakebook to fakecheck these types….
If there was just some ethical standard for journalists, or if it was ‘illegal’ to yell fire in a crowded theater……
There is the Trump declared war on opioids, or I seem to remember non-stop coverage of his failures at it…
What you never hear about, nor ever will, is the legal methods in which big brother can lie:
“The U.S. Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948 (Public Law 80-402), popularly called the Smith–Mundt Act, is the basic legislative authorization for propaganda activities conducted by the U.S. Department of State, sometimes called “public diplomacy”. The act was first introduced by Congressman Karl E. Mundt (R-SD) in January 1945 in the 79th Congress. It was subsequently passed by the 80th Congress and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman on January 27, 1948.
The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012, which was contained within the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (section 1078 (a)) amended the United States Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948 and the Foreign Relations Authorization Act of 1987, allowing for materials produced by the State Department and the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) to be available within the United States. ”

The CIA makes really good money from the drugs they protect in Assganistan for anything to be done about it. Same as it ever was.
They make over 3 X that in the industry of human trafficking, but we don’t hear much about that.
A perfect example of look at what’s in this hand while they slip what’s in the other back into their pockets.
MSM Psyop on the sheep. III% are baaaaad.
Sad that 97% of Americans are really sheep slaves.
Speaking for myself I don’t believe in violence. What I will do however is to totally ignore the lockdown in every way that I can. Civil disobedience is the way to go.
Me too.
They can take our lives, but they will never take our freedom.
Sounds better when Mel Gibson says it.
One may note that when the “militia” show up armed, no one seems to try to do anything about it. Perhaps you recall that huge march Glenn Beck organized a decade back in DC? Remember when they asked what would happen if “next time” instead of lawn chairs they came back with rifles? So far it looks like nothing. The message looks a lot more like “Fuque with us and we will take YOUR lives and restore OUR freedom.”
it’s all a lie, and it is coming apart at the seems.
even our fearless leader in NY has admitted as much:
https://www.citizenfreepress.com/breaking/andrew-cuomo-killed-more-new-yorkers-than-osama-bin-laden/
It won’t happen but that bastard needs to be held accountable for the deaths in the nursing homes.
No one above the rank of ordinary citizen is held accountable for anything these days.
When the Bill of Rights is suspended “for our safety”, many of us “ view any continued state-mandated orders as government overreach“
The Bill of Rights, particularly the first amendment, has already been suspended. T he closing of churches cancels the exercise of worshipping. Freedom of assembly is gone when crowds over 50 are disallowed. The Second Amendment is in shaky grounds. A false flag event with government infiltration might create martial law giving government the impetus to begin gun confiscation.
When that happens all bets are off, and that could instigate a civil war. Doubtful that it would happen as the herd is still well fed, and additional stimulus money will kick the can further down the road.
This fiasco is far from over.
50? In some places they will come roust you if more than 5 gather together.
Here are some descriptions of how the left view violence…they love to make mountains from mole hills remember…
If a man eating dinner alone at a restaurant has something in his eye and blinks that one eye to remove it while staring off, yet a lady at another table sees it and feels uncomfortable that he was “winking” at her. She will call the police and claim violence as it could lead to rape. This is what the left have become.
Speaking your own opinion that differs from the left is now considered “violence”. You must agree with their narrative or face their consequences.
The idea of not wearing a mask, means you are violent because somebody somewhere could die and may have caught the virus from you. See how this translates to do what they say, control narrative….???
Anon…you Left out going to prison for “Mis-gendering” someone or perhaps being a denier of what ever the Left is pushing . Deny Climate Change…go to jail as some on the Left would like …
Curious, if there was a socialist …er…democrat as POTUS, would the blue state governors have the same position and mindset as they do now? Messing up the economy to hurt Trump’s re-election prospects is one thing. However, they are feeling power over the people with their draconian, anti-constitutional edicts. I’m thinking they would probably still react the same way because after all, there is a NWO to usher in.
They might call it New but it is the same old shit since at least Enoch. A bunch of kleptocrats and control freaks that want to tell everybody else what to do and how. F’em. There has NEVER been a single one of them that can survive a center mass hit from M2 Ball.
A spooky presentation by Ice Age Farmer. The world has gone mad unlike any time in history.
Taking over food production is already here in the USA. MEga-Corps run most farming. Most mom and pop farms are regulated into oblivion . Yah’ can’t buy milk straight outta’ the cow in most states . Heck in some states the Gooberment owns the rain water or any water on your land no matter how far it is from the nearest river .
The Emergency Executive Order allows the Gooberment to confiscate your food in an emergency….what ever you’re growing as well.
Buy more ammo !
The US has GAP, or Good Agricultural Practices. One can not sell vegetables to schools or any Government supported non-profit or such without being certified. It is very costly.
Water has to be tested monthly, no animals of any kind (snakes, birds, possums) that might just poop on something, and un-announced visits from Dept. of Agriculture personnel that you have to pay their hourly wage plus travel time. This is why they received firearms.
One can still be shut down, as happened with the cantalope grower in Colorado a few years ago, they were GAP certified.
Tells you everything you need to know about Trump and his love affair with Blackrock. He’s in on the game.
I will follow safe practices , mask , gloves and shelter as much as possible . Not because some government wonk signs a ridiculous executive order but because I have medical issues and have been given fair warning in writing by the people who have helped me manage my health over the last 7 years . The condition killed others in my family before they were 50 and I’m 65 so I listen to the Hopkins organ transplant follow up team .
I still have a life just following a bit more caution .
I understand the frustration and the desire to be free from government interference in our lives and agree with most of the protests . As Americans we are free to be the “DECIDER” and as long as we are the only ones affected or in this case infected by our decisions have at it !
We violated a silly Executive order to open our beach get away . We stayed 2 days not 14 we practiced all safe protocols . We also know we are not infected due to my medical issues .
I do not need a nanny/ninny to oversee what I do or do not do because I’m a responsible adult free born and of good report !
FORGET ME NOT
November 3rd ain’t gonna have much bearing on Christ’s inevitable and much prayed-for return.
Civil disobedience is a better course in my view… It is readily apparent from reading that article that those in charge are itching for a fight on terms they know they will win. Why fight in that ring? It plays comfortably into their hands leading to by obviating the crackdown they so desperately want.
Withdrawing consent is for now a moar effective strategy…….
The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”
― Sun Tzu, The Art of War
As your enemy weakens their position and strength by their own actions observe , prepare but do not interfere
Withdrawing consent is not going to work now. We let them get to far along in their plan while we were endlessly discussing what the problem was or who it was.
“They don’t give a hoot if you withdraw consent by staying home. The moment you step out to get food you will need a mask and permission permits. If a karen snitches on you they will simply send a swat team to rescue the mob of Karens outside your home and rescue your kids because you are endangering them.
They can and will vaporize your accounts and cut off your utilities. Here is a brave guy. His wife is a leader of Reopen NC and he said openly that he would kill if necessary. http://www.occidentaldissent.com/2020/05/25/reopen-nc-leader-willing-to-kill-in-fight-against-government/
It’s one thing to say willing to kill, But as I’m sure you know until someone is prepared to die nothing actually happens.
I didn’t copy the link correctly.
http://www.occidentaldissent.com/2020/05/25/reopen-nc-leader-husband-willing-to-kill-in-fight-against-the-government/
The article is short but explains his position. If the govt. uses forece, he’ll use force.
My point in putting it up is because all we are doing is whining while he is out there putting is job and home on the line along with the others.
We can’t prepare to die until crunch time no matter how often we go over the possibility in our mind.
The bolshie agitators are drumming up riots no that summer has arrived while we do nothing.
I didn’t have any trouble finding the article, am familiar with the site. I probably should have used the word willing, rather than prepared. As for doing nothing, waiting prepping, and trying to keep my head down (gray man) is all I’ve got.
“…giving Americans a taste of freedom…”
Now, that’s really rich.
Its what they do, its who they are, its how they roll.
Once the real shit gets boiling, as it must when an old lie gets old, the imperial state will need its shills to help do the dirty work. When people figure out who that is once this gets going within the next year, that is when the vendetta will commence.
