Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has declassified the Biden-Harris administration’s “Strategic Implementation Plan for Countering Terrorism,” unveiling a comprehensive strategy to subvert political dissent.
The declassified plan outlines a four-pillar approach: understanding and sharing domestic terrorism-related information, preventing recruitment and mobilisation to violence, disrupting and deterring activity, and confronting long-term contributors to domestic terrorism.
Critics argue that the strategy’s broad scope encompasses areas such as online speech, education, gun control, and election participation, potentially labelling political dissent as domestic terrorism, LifeZette writes.
Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) highlighted concerns on his X account, stating, ”What’s remarkable about the document is that it’s an explicitly ideological vision… It’s a strategy to suppress not just individuals, but IDEAS.” He emphasised that the plan could allow the government to treat critics as enemies of the state by classifying political dissent as domestic terrorism.
Schmitt:
”What’s remarkable about the document is that it’s an explicitly ideological vision. Its scope extends far beyond criminal violence—it encompasses online speech, education, gun control, even election participation. It’s a strategy to suppress not just individuals, but IDEAS.”
”The plan lays out the roadmap for how the Biden administration would partner with powerful ”third-party” actors—Big Tech, left-wing NGOs, anti-”hate” groups, etc—to implement this censorship regime.”
”Pro-life activists, parents, traditional Catholics, conservatives in the military—all were targets.”
The declassification has prompted calls for a reevaluation of the balance between national security measures and the protection of constitutional rights. As the public examines the plan’s contents, debates continue over the appropriate scope and implementation of strategies aimed at countering domestic terrorism.
