When one major political party starts labeling the other major political party as a \u201cnational security threat\u201d, that should set off major alarm bells because that means that total tyranny is very near. Needless to say, Democrats and Republicans have always had bitter words for one another, but when you start calling the other side a \u201cnational security threat\u201d that is taking things to an entirely different level. Al-Qaeda was a \u201cnational security threat\u201d, and so we invaded Afghanistan. ISIS was a \u201cnational security threat\u201d, and so we bombed them into oblivion. The full weight of U.S. power is often used to \u201cneutralize\u201d national security threats, and so when a former Department of Homeland Security official went on MSNBC<\/a> and said that the Republican Party is now a more serious national security threat than either Al-Qaeda or ISIS, that sent chills down the spines of a whole lot of people\u2026<\/p>\n

Miles Taylor, a former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official, made the comment during a Thursday interview on MSNBC\u2019s \u201cThe Reid Out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve spent my whole career not as a political operative. I\u2019ve never worked on a campaign in my life other than campaigning against Trump. I\u2019m a national security guy. I\u2019ve worked in national security against ISIS, al Qaeda and Russia,\u201d Taylor said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd the No. 1 national security threat I\u2019ve ever seen in my life to this country\u2019s democracy is the party that I\u2019m in \u2014 the Republican Party. It is the No. 1 security national security threat to the United States of America,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t believe that he actually said that.<\/p>\n

In the past, members of the Biden administration have labeled certain political subgroups as national security threats, but now Miles Taylor is saying that the entire Republican Party is the number one national security threat that our nation is facing.<\/p>\n

Just think about what that means.<\/p>\n

When we would capture a member of Al-Qaeda or ISIS, we would ship them off to Guantanamo Bay and torture them for months or even years.<\/p>\n

I always spoke out against such torture, because it was morally wrong.<\/p>\n

And I knew that eventually the same tactics would be used against Americans.<\/p>\n

With each passing day, the U.S. is getting closer and closer to becoming an authoritarian regime. On Friday, we learned that the Biden administration has been regularly working with social media companies<\/a> to censor the speech of people that are concerned about the safety of the COVID vaccines\u2026<\/p>\n

President Biden on Friday accused Facebook of \u201ckilling people,\u201d just after White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the Biden administration is \u201cin regular touch\u201d with the platform to ensure correct \u201cnarratives\u201d are promoted \u2014 elaborating on her Thursday admission that the White House is \u201cflagging problematic posts\u201d<\/a> for the social media giant to censor.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Social media companies are private entities, and so they can theoretically argue that they have the right to determine what is allowed to be posted on their platforms.<\/p>\n

But when the federal government colludes with social media companies to censor speech, that is a crystal clear violation of our First Amendment rights.<\/p>\n

As Glenn Greenwald has noted<\/a>, if you support the Biden administration\u2019s attempts to censor speech on social media platforms, that also makes you an authoritarian\u2026<\/p>\n

In an eight-tweet thread posted Thursday afternoon, Greenwald said this idea that a president\u2019s administration can remove content it deems \u2018problematic\u2019 is dangerous.<\/p>\n

\u2018If you don\u2019t find it deeply disturbing that the White House is \u201cflagging\u201d internet content that they deem \u201cproblematic\u201d to their Facebook allies for removal, then you are definitionally an authoritarian. No other information is needed about you to know that,\u2019 Greenwald tweeted.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Not only is the Biden administration actively involved in censoring speech, they are also specifically demonizing 12 particular individuals that the Biden administration claims are responsible for \u201c65% of anti-vaccine misinformation on social media platforms<\/a>\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n

The White House turned up the pressure on Silicon Valley to get a handle on vaccine misinformation Thursday, specifically singling out 12 people one group dubbed the \u201cdisinformation dozen,\u201d saying they were responsible for a great deal of misinformation about Covid-19.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s about 12 people who are producing 65% of anti-vaccine misinformation on social media platforms,\u201d White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Thursday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At this point, freedom of speech is virtually a dead right in the United States of America, and that means that all of our other rights are in danger of being completely stripped away as well.<\/p>\n

Because once freedom of speech is gone, the government will be free to take away the rest of our rights at their leisure.<\/p>\n

Never before in U.S. history have we seen such a massive attempt by one side of the political spectrum to silence the speech of the other side of the political spectrum.<\/p>\n

And ultimately, they won\u2019t just be satisfied with shutting people up. In fact, there are some activists that are already wishing death<\/a> upon their political opponents\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cLet them die,\u201d Fairfax County NAACP First Vice President Michelle Leete said about people against her leftist ideology during a speech to protesters at Luther Jackson Middle School Thursday evening.<\/p>\n

Parents and concerned citizens had gathered in Fairfax, Virginia, prior to a school board meeting to protest Fairfax County Public Schools teaching Critical Race Theory (CRT), while others had come to support CRT and the LGBT agenda in schools. It was the final meeting before the school board\u2019s summer break.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There is so much hatred on both sides of the political spectrum right now, and that makes me extremely sad.<\/p>\n

As I discuss in my brand new book entitled \u201c7 Year Apocalypse\u201d<\/i>, we are moving into a very troubled chapter in American history, and we are doing so at a time when most people are absolutely filled with rage.<\/p>\n

Everywhere you look, people are extremely angry. Our nation has become a tinderbox that can literally erupt in flames at any moment, and we have seen quite a few examples of this over the past year.<\/p>\n

We used to be such a civilized country.<\/p>\n

What in the world has happened to us?<\/p>\n

Freedom is such a precious thing. Previous generations of Americans sacrificed so much to win it for us, and now we are on the verge of losing it for good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
