The FBI’s domestic terrorism watchlist is set to double in the coming months, according to journalist Ken Klippenstein, who has been reporting on President Trump’s National Security Presidential Memorandum titled “Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence,” also known as NSPM-7. The memo identifies potential domestic terrorists as someone expressing “anti-Christian,” “anti-capitalism” or “anti-American” views. Democratic Congressmember Ro Khanna responded on X, writing, “Trump’s NSPM-7 represses freedom of speech & association, investigating any organization with 'anti-capitalism' or 'anti-American' views. I ran a primary in 2003 against the Patriot Act and war in Iraq. NSPM-7 is a greater infringement on freedoms than the Patriot Act.”

    They use to use "Godless" as a slur. I guess they can't anymore because they also want to punish people who don't believe in a god the same way they do.

    No, my point is that they can't dismiss the "Godless" as the enemy, because that technically includes the other religions. They now need to say "Anti-Christian" to mean the same thing

  • The fact that NSPM-7 wasn’t THE headline since it was signed on September 25th is an utterly damning indictment of our media and what they focus on. There have been a multitude of things since then that are also utterly damning indictments of our media, but NSPM-7 was like, the whole fucking game. It’s saying “I’m gonna paint with a broad brush and tell the FBI and other DHS orgs and internal security bullshit to surveil and persecute people I don’t like, and whose ideas I don’t like”.

    So much for keeping the republic.

    Here's a horrible fact, almost every dictatorship in history has been a pedo dictatorship.

    Authoritarianism and pedophillia seem to go hand in hand, but because the pedo dictator almost always focuses on teenagers, this aspect of authoritarianism tends to go under reported.

    On what fucking grounds? I love how in america today nothing has to make sense and no one even feels the need to argue in favor of nonsensical views. They just state them as fact and get emotional about them if challenged.

    It's "terrorism" to wish for a better society if that view of society conflicts with the current economic system. What a fucked up joke of a world. I guess this is an accidental admission that we're an oligarchy, since you're seen as an existential threat if your views would make the 1% less rich.

    Welp, lets just get this out there. Christian Nationalists are a blight on the world. Capitalism is designed to keep you oppressed and should be abolished. America has been a shithole for a couple years now but its been on the decline for decades. America #1 is propaganda drilled into kids brains to keep them loyal to a broken system.
    Guess im a terrorist now.

    Realistically the americans lost in those wars because the presidents at the time actually wanted some kind of spiritual victory rather than just flattening those countries into dust with sustained carpet bombing of any and all artificial structures (At least not the whole country) I doubt Trump would have any issues or even understanding of the consiquences of going full nuclear. The US likely wouldn't surive the retaliation but neither would anyone else... except New Zealand because everyone forgets them so hard they even get left off maps.

    This is a memo, not a law. It will never make it before a judge. Targeted groups won't be charged, they will instead be detained, possibly indefinitely, but certainly long enough to fuck them up. They will also use this memo to monitor communications, pull financial records and otherwise harass people. They will use the label to force financial institutions to freeze assets.

    But they won't charge you.

    Both words have impossible definitions.

    While Capitalism is essentially Oligarchist, Capital, Corporatist supremacism in modern definition/understanding, Adam Smith presented an ideal of free and fair markets leading to "perfect competition", essentially guaranteeing a fair return on capital instead of supremacist extortion power.

    America as symbol of freedom and melting pot, would consider it anti-american to gaslight fascism and genocide as "America". Are other war and anti-human values, really American values?

    NSPM-7's "anti Christian" edicts is also worthless, in that Zionazi supremacism has become Christofascist gaslighting of Christians. "Do onto others as you would like done onto you" (best interpretation is humanist freedom rather than a hierarchical charity empire) is a direct contradiction of supremacist fascism/pride.

    Of course, the purpose of vague edicts is to kill/emprison/disenfranchise those who Charlie Kirk/Trump would want killed/emprisoned. Criticizing unfair monopoly power strengthening, fascism, or war or Trump is a violation.
