This week @FBI Director Chris Wray spoke to the Senate Appropriations Committee and requested $11.3 billion to fund his agency in 2025. His request identified "Anti-Government Anti-Authority Violent Extremists" as the top domestic terrorism threat. 🧵fbi.gov/news/testimony… What is an Anti-Government Anti-Authority Violent Extremist (AGAAVE)? In 2021, the @FBI and @DHSgov authored a Strategic Intelligence Assessment and Data on Domestic Terrorism Image

To review: @FBI employees like Andy McCabe, Peter Stzrok, and Lisa Page abused their positions of public trust. @TheJusticeDept rewarded them all with cash payouts. 🧵
cnn.com/2024/05/28/pol… Meanwhile, @GOBactual is indefinitely suspended and UNPAID for 21 months after making protected whistleblower disclosures. The FBI seized his household goods (including his children's winter coats) in an effort to financially devastate him.

During today's Senate Judiciary hearing, @FBI Director Chris Wray spoke about the "AGAAVE." That's an Anti-Government Anti-Authority Violent Extremist. But what is that, really? 🧵 The FBI and DHS authored this Strategic Intelligence Assessment and Data on Domestic Terrorism in May 2021. Image

Glad to see @Newsweek reporting that everything I blew the whistle about is accurate. The @FBI used January 6th to manipulate and artificially boost its domestic terrorism stats.
newsweek.com/2023/10/13/exc… "While the number of investigations in 2021 almost doubled from 2020 to around 9,000, the number of "full investigations" that led to arrests was only 1,446, not much more than the number of 1,146 January 6 protesters who have been charged with a crime"

An "impeachment inquiry" is a total ploy 🧵 Just because it contains the word "impeachment," doesn't mean @POTUS is on the hook for actual removal from office. It just affords @HouseGOP expedited subpoena power.

Re: Israeli-Palestinian relations, Bibi Netanyahu says if Palestinians laid down their arms, there would be peace. If Israel laid down its arms, there would be no Israel. That's why Israel always retaliates when they are attacked. 🧵 Netanyahu's logic holds true for American politics. Instead of exercising its power and retaliating against an out-of-control Democratic party, the @GOP reliably lays down its arms and rolls over. Until the Republicans recognize battlefield conditions, they will continue to lose.

Looking forward to tomorrow with @Weaponization. I will inform the members how the @FBI is exploiting security clearance suspension processes to punish whistleblowers. That being said, I do have a couple notes about FBI employees currently holding valid clearances 🧵 Should government employees hold top secret security clearances if they require guidance and aid from a government funded “well being and resilience program?” Image

The @FBI is reporting the number of domestic terrorism investigations has quadrupled since 2013. Interesting how the FBI implemented Integrated Program Management to measure it's "success" around this time. 🧵gao.gov/blog/rising-th… IPM incentivizes quantity over quality. The @FBI wants to tell Congress how awesome they are to guarantee bigger budgets. Managers want to promote. Senior Executive Service employees want their cash bonuses- which are based on IPM metrics achievement.

As I shared on today's episode of The @KyleSeraphin Show podcast, here is the latest proof that the @FBI should be tossed into the dustbin of history 🧵 Image The @FBI Security Division, otherwise known as SecD, is hosting a series of events in the workplace to "promote health and wellness." The events will occur in April and May.

This is an excerpt from the DOJ’s audit of the @FBI. Apparently the FBI fell short of its goal for domestic terrorism “disruptions,” achieving 397 instead of the budgeted 600 The fact that the FBI is predetermining metrics for domestic terrorism is a farce. It creates a perverse incentive structure for rank and file agents to open DT cases. Quantity over quality.

A thread on the latest efforts to intimidate and discredit whistleblowers. It's clear that Order 66 was issued by the @HouseDemocrats and @FBI- destroy the whistleblowers. I will save @CNN, @RollingStone, @NYTimes, etc. the time and issue a blanket Twitter thread for their journalists to quote (or more likely ignore).

#Informationindustrialcomplex is real and insidious. Fed agents pressure big tech to censor and provide personal data without due process. Big tech hires former @FBI and other fed agents to cast an illusion of integrity and nonpartisanship over their activities. The former agents reach back to their contacts at the @FBI and other agencies to smooth and expedite investigative processes. Agencies benefit from easier access. Big tech avoids scrutiny because they are cooperating with Team America.

Approaching Police Officer informed Employee it was a crime to urinate in public and asked him to move along. 2. Employee responded by yelling profanities at Police Officer. Police Officer responded by arresting Employee for Public Urination. Police Officer noted that Employee was extremely intoxicated and armed with Bureau weapon. Employee continued to be belligerent.

1. @FBI Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) investigates employee misconduct. Think of them as the FBI's "Internal Affairs." OPR distributes a Quarterly All-Employee Email setting forth examples of its adjudicated cases during the previous 3 months. 2. OPR sends these Quarterly Emails to educate
employees about the Bureau's standards of conduct and to aid employees in steering clear
of ethical pitfalls and other violations.
