BREAKING Via Project Veritas: FBI Whistleblower LEAKS Bureau\u2019s Domestic Terrorism Symbols Guide on 'Militia Violent Extremists\u2019 Citing Ashli Babbitt

Document references The Second Amendment, Gadsden Flag, Revolutionary War Imagery, & The Betsy Ross Flag pic.twitter.com\/tsIYLuvrhf<\/a><\/p>— Jack Posobiec \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@JackPosobiec) August 2, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote> \n\n\n\n

The good folks over at Project Veritas<\/em><\/a> this week published leaked documents from an FBI whistleblower that draw an explicit connection between \u201cMilitia Violent Extremists\u201d [MVEs] and Second Amendment advocates.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The documents, which say \u201cFBI Internal Use Only,\u201d are designed to educate agents on what to look for when they are investigating potential MVEs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the category of \u201cSymbols\u201d is the \u201c2A,\u201d and is described thus, \u201cMVEs justify their existence with the Second Amendment, due to the mention of a \u2018well regulated Militia,\u2019 as well as the right to bear arms,\u201d states the document.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, they say they won\u2019t take your guns. Then they pass a bill to take your guns.

Next, they say they\u2019ll reduce inflation. Then they introduce a bill that will raise inflation.

Finally, they promise they won\u2019t raise taxes. And what are they doing? Raising taxes.<\/p>— Rep. Jim Jordan (@Jim_Jordan) August 3, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote> \n\n\n\n

The \u201cGadsden Flag\u201d is found under the \u201cCommonly Referenced Historical Imagery and Quotes\u201d section with the caption, \u201cHistorical American symbol representing gun rights and limited government,\u201d the document points out.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there is the following caveat in bold, “The use or sharing of these symbols alone should not independently be considered evidence of MVE presence or affiliation, or serve as an indicator of illegal activity, as many individuals use these symbols for their original historic meaning or other non-violent purposes.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The leak docs come on the heels of a letter written by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) that accuses the FBI of reclassifying cases of \u201cdomestic violent extremism\u201d (DVEs) to increase the numbers, per a Fox News<\/a><\/em> report<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“From recent protected disclosures, we have learned that FBI officials are pressuring agents to reclassify cases as \u2018domestic violent extremism\u2019 even if the cases do not meet the criteria for such a classification,” wrote Jordan in a letter sent to FBI Director Chris Wray last Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Given the narrative pushed by the Biden administration that domestic violent extremism is the \u2018greatest threat\u2019 facing our country, revelation that the FBI may be artificially padding domestic terrorism data is scandalous,\u201d he continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One can reasonably argue that the agency is not only targeting the gun community in its quest to crackdown on purported MVEs but is also incentivizing its workforce to find DVE cases where there are none. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Another whistleblower\u2014who led at least one high profile domestic terrorism investigation\u2014stated that a field office Counterterrorism Assistant Special Agent in Charge and the FBI\u2019s Director of the Counterterrorism Division have pressured agents to move cases into the DVE category to hit self-created performance metrics,\u201d added Rep. Jordan in his letter. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAccording to whistleblowers, the FBI uses these metrics to dispense awards and promotions. Every whistleblower has called it an environment of ‘pressure’ within the FBI,” wrote Jordan.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hopefully, no law-abiding citizen finds themselves in the crosshairs of the surveillance state for simply exercising or supporting a fundamental right. But don’t count on it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we’ve recently witnessed<\/a>, the ATF is going door to door in some states to conduct warrantless firearm inspections. What’s next??? Will the FBI start making the rounds when one flies the Gadsden Flag at a gun-rights rally or hangs a sign that says “Let’s Go Brandon<\/a>“? <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
