New docs reveal DHS intel group proposed:

✔️Americans should report their neighbors to the feds

✔️Reclassifying political dissent under the guise of “public health” so that “mothers and teachers” feel comfortable coming forward

#DeepStateDiaries PART 1: Image
/2 Following our victory with @RichardGrenell that resulted in the disbanding of the DHS “Homeland Intelligence Experts Group,” we are releasing the first tranche of the group’s internal meeting notes, exclusively obtained from litigation...
/3 As part 1, newly obtained documents reveal that the advisory committee that included John Brennan and James Clapper discussed ways for DHS to increase efforts to collect intelligence on Americans across the country, including attempting to “get into local communities in a non-threatening way.”
/4 By the time the Homeland Intelligence Experts Group was announced in September 2023, the Group had already been meeting for as long as four months...
/5 However, during that September meeting, the Group held a discussion on “Collection Posture and Associated Challenges,” where a Group member (likely someone from DHS) complained that there was “no mandate for state land local partners” to collect information which resulted in “limited access in I&A.”Image
/6 They continued that while “support for this mission set has varied,” it had “changed after January 6th,” as their mission to combat domestic terrorism gained “departmental support” and “political” support. Image
/7 However, DHS has very limited authority to engage in intelligence collection, constrained by the Constitution and federal law. Image
/8 The Group noted that the “See Something, Say Something” campaign after 9/11 fell short because “Americans have an ambivalent feeling of telling on each other.”

The problem, as one attendee phrased it is, “How do we get into local communities in a non-threatening way? How do people safely report a concern about their neighbors?”Image
/9 The next speaker replied by asking if there was “an ambiguous approach” to getting into communities to gather information.

This particular speaker lamented that DHS did not have a broad enough reach into communities.
/10 Disturbingly, the meeting notes go on to discuss reclassifying political dissent as a “public health” crisis.

Keep reading…
/11 The very next speaker proposed another solution: reclassify “concerning” behavior into the “public health catcher’s mitt” so that “mother[s] and teacher[s]” feel comfortable coming forward. Image
/12 Indeed, the Brennan-Clapper Intelligence group suggested that the best way to combat domestic extremism is to get mothers and teachers to turn in their children or students to the federal government under the guise of “public health.”
/13 The Group highlighted Denver’s “behavioral analysis response” as a potential solution and an “ambiguous approach.” Image
/14 Where DHS lacks capabilities and cannot convince mothers and teachers to report their own children, one contributor suggested that DHS should turn to corporate America as a resource: Image
/15 To which someone (presumably from) DHS replied: Image
/16 Stay tuned for the next installment of #DeepStateDiaries

/1🚨 VICTORY — ATF REVERSES UNLAWFUL POLICY 🔄

The Biden-Harris ATF has reversed its unlawful “zero-tolerance” policy that allowed the agency to revoke federal firearms licenses (FFL) over minor paperwork errors, following AFL and @TPPF’s lawsuit.
/2 Historically, FFL holders were required to “willfully” violate the Gun Control Act (GCA) to lose their licenses.

This required intentional and reckless disregard for the GCA’s requirements in filling out the federal form.
/3 In 2021, ATF issued a punitive and unlawful policy redefining “willfulness” to allow the federal government to revoke FFLs for typographical or inadvertent errors and minor violations. Image

/1🚨 BREAKING 🚨

AFL has launched a multi-pronged initiative to hold elected officials in sanctuary jurisdictions across the country accountable for violating federal immigration laws. Image
/2 As part of AFL’s initial response to leftist elected officials and organizations’ plans to interfere with the federal enforcement of our immigration laws, we have:

➡️ Notified 249 elected officials in sanctuary jurisdictions across the U.S. of the legal consequences they could face.

➡️ Launched “Sanctuary Strongholds,” an interactive website resource providing insight into sanctuary jurisdictions nationwide and contact information for elected officials violating federal law.

➡️ Filed a Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) petition to increase transparency into crimes committed by illegal aliens against women and children.

➡️ Filed investigative requests with 17 key states and cities across the U.S. to expose the individuals and organizations actively undermining federal immigration enforcement and the rule of law.
/3 AFL has notified 249 elected officials in sanctuary jurisdictions across the U.S. of the legal consequences they could face for interfering with or impeding federal immigration law enforcement efforts and for concealing, harboring, or shielding illegal aliens. Image

/1🚨 VICTORY 🚨

A federal court has denied the Stanford Internet Observatory, Atlantic Council, and Aspen Institute’s attempt to dismiss AFL’s class action lawsuit for conspiring with the U.S. government to conduct targeted surveillance and censor conservative political speech. Image
Image
/2 On May 2, 2023, AFL filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of Jill Hines, co-director of Health Freedom Louisiana, and Jim Hoft, founder of The Gateway Pundit, against entities associated with the so-called “Election Integrity Partnership” and the “Virality Project.”
/3 The lawsuit alleges that these academic institutions, nonprofits, and researchers conspired with the federal government to surveil and censor conservative political speech regarding COVID-19 and elections on social media platforms.

/1🚨 BREAKING: NEW DOCS EXPOSE U.S. GOVERNMENT CENSORSHIP ACTIVITIES

AFL has obtained new documents revealing that the U.S. government weaponized the homeland security apparatus & coordinated with the Censorship Industrial Complex & foreign authorities to censor COVID-19 speech. Image
/2 Through our litigation against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), AFL obtained a previously unreleased document titled “COVID-19 Countering Foreign Influence Task Force Reporting and Analysis.”
/3 The internal CISA Countering Foreign Influence Task Force (CFITF) report from 2020 is marked “FOUO//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY” and states that “online misinformation erode[s] public confidence in yet to be developed COVID-19 vaccine.” Image

/1‼️NEW INVESTIGATION‼️

AFL is investigating whether the Loudoun County School Board and Former FBI Deputy Director Andy McCabe played a role in AG Merrick Garland’s October 4 memo mobilizing federal counter-terrorism resources against concerned parents at school board meetings. Image
/2 In 2020, parents in Loudoun County, Virginia, began speaking out against a variety of issues, including school closures, Critical Race Theory (CRT) curriculum, transgender bathroom and locker room policies, and the politicization of the Loudoun County School Board.
/3 In March 2021, the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office opened a criminal investigation into a private Facebook group called “The Anti-Racist Parents of Loudoun County.”

Members of the group — which included six school board members, the Commonwealth Attorney, and a member of the Board of Supervisors — discussed targeting parents who spoke out at school board meetings against school closures and CRT in Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS).

Later, the FBI launched a parallel probe into the matter.Image
