Authored by Kit Knightly via Off-Guardian.org,
It’s not been often, in the five years OffG has existed, that we’ve had to cop to missing something important within 24 hours of publishing an article – but this is one of those times.
In my article yesterday – “The Storming of the Capitol”: America’s Reichstag Fire? – I said this [my emphasis]:
Although there is not yet any talk of legislation [in response to the Capitol Hill riots], it’s certainly true there are whispers of purges and other measures to “protect the constitution”.
That quote did not age well, indeed it was wrong from the moment it went to print. Because, as it turns out, there has actually been “talk of legislation” for weeks – even months. Soon-to-be-President Joe Biden promised a new “domestic terrorism bill” back in November, according to the Wall Street Journal.
That is why you’re seeing so much usage of the phrase “domestic terrorism” in the last couple of days.
It’s the meme-phrase. The primary talking point for this whole exercise. It was underlined in all the memos sent out to all the media outlets.
That’s why Joe Biden went to such lengths to distinguish “domestic terrorists” from “protesters” in his speech following the riots.
That’s why the Council on Foreign Relations had an interview with a “counter-terrorism and national security expert” published within 24 hours of the incident, in which he spends 4 paragraphs arguing that the people who “stormed the capitol” were domestic terrorists.
That’s why the Washington Post has got an article dedicated to “lawmakers and experts” arguing that the Capitol Hill protest was an act of “domestic terrorism”. And so have Vox. And Mother Jones.
That’s why ABC had an article about how “domestic terrorism and hate crimes” were a growing problem in America…a week before the riot took place.
And that’s why #TrumpisaDomesticTerrorist is trending on Twitter.
Georgetown University, a well-known spook college, published a paper in September 2020 titled the “The Need for a Specific Law Against Domestic Terrorism”, and op-ed pieces bemoaning the lack of such a law have been dotted through the press going back to last summer and even late 2019.
There was one published yesterday, in which a “senior FBI official” says “more could have been done” if there had been a “specific law outlawing” domestic terrorism.
“Domestic Terrorism” is clearly where it’s at in early 2021, so we can expect a brand new law regarding it…probably by March, at the latest.
What will “Domestic Terrorism” mean in this law?
The answer to that is pretty much always “whatever they want it to mean.”
Certainly, it will include “incitement” and “hate speech”, I would expect “denialism” to make an appearance, and be downright shocked if “spreading misinformation” doesn’t get a mention. Don’t be surprised if “questioning elections” or “bringing democracy into disrepute” is made an outright crime.
It will probably be tied into the Covid “pandemic” in some way, too. After all, what is discouraging people from taking vaccines if not the very definition of “terrorism”, right? It’s possible that even climate change will get a mention as well. They like to slide that into every issue these days.
Joe Biden has claimed multiple times to be the author of the original Patriot Act, saying it was based entirely on a bill he proposed in the wake of the Oklahoma City bombing of 1995.
Well now he has a chance to work on the reboot too, and they are always so much better when you can get the original creative team back together.

I am F! Don’t know about the rest of you.
Lets all just agree…………. and stop working see how long they can make the world work without our input?
They want our country to be a banana republic lets let um.
Does this sound familiar…
A few companies controlling the narrative as the propaganda arm of the government… the rise of a new age of fascism is dawning. I think we know that the days of free speech in this Republic are numbered so I’m glad to be here with other free thinkers.
Sadly, our press is even more jewish than it was for the Germans. Funny how all this talk about modern ‘fascism’ always seems to be about things led by jews, whether it’s the media, corporations, or the government.
Yes, that otherwise informative article omits the fact that the only reason 3% owned the press (and banks) was because the others owned the rest.
Is it starting to sink in yet that maybe the Nazis really did something that the ruling elite can never allow to happen again, thus their constant vilification?
The German press was owned by the jews and the jews declared war on Germany in 1936(?). While the events you laid out are correct the underlying problem was what the jews had done to demoralize the German people.
You might want to include the French and English in that demoralization bit. The Treaty of Versailles was brutal.
For one of the smallest population groups on the the planet these Jews sure have a lot of power. The power however is mostly in the mind of those who hate Jews, for whatever reason.
Yea it does sound familiar. Sounds like jewish projection again.
Many folks worry about the USA becoming a third world country. I live in one and it’s not what many imagine, at least in my neck of the woods. No, the real worry is that one’s country becomes a Nerd World country such as the USA has become: a country run in nearly every sense by resentful nerds. All govs are nerd-infested, of course; they gravitate toward the power and control they didn’t have on the playground and later in getting prom dates. Revenge of the Nerds was no idle fantasy.
Pushback time is upon you if you wish to stifle such preposterous laws as they wish to foist upon you.
”
I’m going with America is a Turd World Country.
There is that as well!
Actually you need to look closer to these folks faith? Its not just nerds.
The dildo republic is in full swing now.
When I got back from Camp Mackall in 2001 about 2 weeks after the towers fiasco, I had a bunch of my troops in my room in the barracks watching fuck tard Dubya foist that horseshit patriot act on everyone and most of the Joes were cheering it on until I enlightened them that it was the end of our Republic. After explaining that every last part and parcel of that act was, and still is, shitting projectile diarrhea on the Constitution they kind of got a clue. 19 years later I got in contact with one of the men that was there that night and he said he had been preparing since his second tour in A-stan when he saw some really stupid shit regarding bacha bazi and opium and the usual high command fuckery.
He thanked me for that night to which I told him there was no need to thank me as his preparations since were plenty enough.
I figured there would be significantly more time to prepare, but I drastically underestimated the lack of resolve in this country’s population. At least the ones that are opposed to the lunacy running amok now. I did not follow my number rule of never underestimating the predictability of the mob mentality. I seriously thought that most of the countries I had been in had some supremely dumb fuckers there. Then I started working in the airline industry and my worst fears were confirmed: the useful idiots were co-opted and this last year with the chinavirus shit accelerated my plans to detach and get right with myself, my family and the few friends I have left after I torched the old bridges with the collective types.
This will be guerilla warfare for a very long time. The military is probably 60/40 good versus bad due to the suck-up factor. That will weed itself out real quick when it goes live. I do not fear for myself, but I do fear for about 97% of the rest of this country and of that 97% a good portion around 55% will need to feed the buzzards and worms to sort this out. This will make 1936 Spain look like a fart in the wind.
Goodspeed and may fortune be at your sides my friends. There is no rationalizing with them. There is no tolerance with them. There is absolutely no sense of self with them. There is no innovation with them. There is no understanding of what freedom truly is with them. There is no basic numeracy with them. There is no compromise. I know I am beating the horse’s corpse to pulp, but this needs to be repeated and this needs to be the mantra of the free: Head like a hole!
“When men meet foes in fight, better is stout heart than sharp sword.”
Volsunga, c.19
“Often times it is not numbers that wins the victory, but those who fare forward with the most vigor.”
The Saga of Thrond of Gate, c.19
“When it comes time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home.”

ZFG,
While I gave ya a thumbs up that was wholly insufficient.
The words of a patriot….thank you.
I spent some time with an ink pen on my second helmet cover, as the first one was blank, but it was as tattered and shredded and faded as my almost white grunt boots.
You could look at a grunts boots and tell about how many months he had survived.
Then I lost my helmet in a river I almost drowned in…Long monsoon story.
Soon after my 2nd helmet cover was inked with a simple message. I had reached a point of stoic grunt wisdom.
“Kill First Die Last”.
Nothing about war has changed in 51 years…including the one we will all be in soon.
I had hoped to spend my ‘golden years’ fishing and painting and puttering around in the garden, messing with the cattle and visiting friends, enjoying great meals and just appreciating life in general. Maybe some traveling and enjoying the scenery, stuff like that….but…. noooo, that wasn’t going to be. Instead, well…
I mean, how many here thought they’d find themselves forced to wear masks, locked down and forbidden to even eat look at a restaurant, much less eat in one this time last year? I knew TSHTF was coming but I had hoped to put it off until I was seriously old and ready for the pasture.
No matter, we’ve been living on borrowed time and have had it pretty good, all things considered. The folks with half a brain saw something coming many years ago and they prepared as best they could. You work with what you have, make the best of what is handed to you and don’t let the bastards grind you down.
Like the old cook on the Edmund Fitzgerald said when the main hatch gave in: “Fellas it’s been good to know ya.”
And I mean that in all sincerity.
How I feel about all the leftists, democrats, traitors and sons of bitches tearing down this country….May they rot in hell….

What’s coming…
New National anthem for Patriots?
Yeah thanks for the fake and gay nostalgia.
The Fitzgerald never sank. It was insurance fraud.

Winnie, written with all the sincerity that I can muster…when I tell you to go Fuck yourself that I mean it in spades.
Tell that to their widows, fucking idiot.
Lake Superior is spectacular in every aspect
Nick and I went bowling last Friday evening. On the way, I decided to stop and pick up a Domino’s Pizza, because that is the local franchise which has an agreement with the K of C bowling alley.
A Vietnam Vet in all his “regalia” came in and sat on the chair closest to where I perched, waiting for an army of pizza makers and bakers to prepare my simple pizza and breadsticks.
Thanks, I said. You too, said he.
We are all beginning to recognize one another around here.
Semper Fi to everyone who will be standing against the onslaught we face. The disinformation campaign is the strongest I’ve ever seen.
It seems they have bills ready to quash our freedom sitting and just waiting on someone to “spontaneously” act. How many pages do you think the new gun law will be?
From Whatfinger
https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/amazing-they-magically-already-have-a-20000-page-domestic-terrorism-bill-ready/
Seems 2,000 pages is the new standard.
100 pages will cover the gun laws. 1,900 pages will be filled with stuff like $500,000,000 for Advancement Of Faggot Rights rights in Pakistan.
According to the article, the new Patriot act will be 20,000 pages. I’m sure there will be a section on FEMA camps.
This ‘Nam vet has long hoped that he would avoid the traditional American way of death in a V.A. intensive care unit where the lights are never off, (for the convenience of the staff) the ‘patient’ is on his/her back connected to several beeping machines and therefore can’t roll over to clear the extremely viscous, throttling, mucus collecting in the upper respiratory passage until shear exhaustion from the effort of breathing wins the final marathon.
I had for decades entertained a younger man’s vision of exiting this world as I entered; kicking, screaming and covered in someone else’s blood. But the Good Lord has given me more years than I expected. So much for planning. I’ll probably give my modest arsenal to an, as far as I can determine, worthy younger vet.
I’m not infirm yet. Until I put my notice in a few weeks ago, I drove an eighteen wheeler about ten hours a day. I’ll probably do the same in Florida where I’m about to relocate.
My new, more age appropriate vision, is to try gently to awaken my liberal family there and perhaps help supply them for the coming shortages.
I now see a FEMA camp as my final battleground. I’m not a bit scared of that. I don’t see a camp as capitulation. Rather I see it as a chance to awaken others there and perhaps snatch a few from the flames.
At least I bet there won’t be an intensive care unit there.
Good ole V.A. giving us the second chance to die for this country. Thumbs up namvet!
Tango Yankee ZFG.
Vanilla ISIS, that’s the theme.
HSF may not have to plan a get together after all. Joe Biden or Kommie Harris may just provide an all expense aid tropical party in Cuba. I just love government free stuff.
Know who the enemy is. Pick one at random.(not a big shot)Educate him. Let others know why he was educated. Remember that when 2 people know a secret, it’s not a secret. Be gray.
If there are guns left to sell anywhere, they will be gone by February. Biden might steal Obama’s title – the world’s best gun salesman.
I repeat:
Anybody comparing current events to the Reichstag Fire, while studiously ignoring that other event 19 years and 4 months ago, has a serious case of confirmation bias and is just deluding themselves.
Whatever comes down the pipe will be double speak and lies and just plain $hit.
It is not ‘here it comes’, because it’s already here.
So they magically have a 20,000 page Domestic Terrorism bill ready to go “in response to yesterday’s actions”. Amazing Magic
