MAGA Folks Targeted by FBI as Domestic Terrorists

By Harold Pease, Ph.D.

It is not surprising that the once great Federal Bureau of Investigation, the FBI, now defines MAGA folks as domestic terrorists. The Bureau has delineated 55% of American voters, the majority now, those supportive of Donald Trump’s campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again,” as domestic terrorists in its total decline as a neutral law enforcement agency.

In the Biden Administration it was first parents attending school board meetings complaining of their kids being indoctrinated in critical race theory. Attorney General Merrick Garland’s response was to define these parents as domestic terrorists. Next targeted by the new government were people sharing information out of harmony with Deep State narratives. These were said to be spreading disinformation and thus were domestic terrorists. All violated First Amendment rights guaranteed in the Bill of Rights.

Some saw the Bureau’s degeneration as early as 1992 in Ruby Ridge, Idaho with the Randy Weaver family standoff where a government sniper shot dead Vicki who was holding her baby in her arms standing in the cabin doorway. But the contempt for integrity openly flowered July 5, 2016, when then FBI director James Comey protected Hillary Clinton’s bleach-bit 33,000 emails from congressional review—many classified documents that she unlawfully had on a non-government server. Then followed the FBI’s suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop of crimes until after the 2020 presidential election enabled Joe Biden to come into office. Finally, we now know that January 6 was a fedsurrection orchestrated and led by the FBI to entrap MAGA participants. LibertyUnderFire has published on all these stories.

So when the left of center, Newsweek magazine, broke the story last week that the FBI now considers the MAGA people domestic terrorists, it surprised no one that has been paying attention (“Exclusive: Donald Trump Followers Targeted by FBI as 2024 Election Nears,” By William M. Arkin, October 4, 2023). The FBI has turned rogue and is now the major protector of the Biden Administration and the Deep State.

Newsweek opened with, “The federal government believes that the threat of violence and major civil disturbances around the 2024 U.S. presidential election is so great that it has quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to track and counter: Donald Trump’s: army of MAGA followers.” Under what evidence? Since entering the classroom in 1975, I asked students to identify any moment in US. history when the right side of the political spectrum organized riots and civil disobedience. In my lifetime it has been only the socialist Left. As said, January 6 was orchestrated by the FBI using Antifa and other leftist groups. During the event President Trump told MAGA to “go home in peace.” Patriots never come out of their homes to burn down their own cities as the Left did in their summer riots of 2020. Investigate them, they actually did crimes.

One FBI agent, requesting anonymity, identified a real problem. “By focusing on former president Trump and his MAGA (Make America Great Again) supporters, the official said, the Bureau runs the risk of provoking the very anti-government activists that the terrorism agencies hope to counter. Especially at a time when the White House is facing Congressional Republican opposition claiming that the Biden administration has 'weaponized' the Bureau against the right wing” (Ibid.). They may be baiting MAGA.

Joe Biden certainly has encouraged the FBI’s treating MAGA as a terrorist group. Newsweek quotes him as having tweeted, ”Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are a threat to the very soul of this country," and mentions that this tweet was “the first time that he explicitly singled out the former president.” Biden adding, "MAGA Republicans aim to question not only the legitimacy of past elections but elections being held now and into the future” (Ibid.). Is this election interference potentially discouraging the undecided from voting for Trump? Many believe Biden has a hand in orchestrating the four indictments against Trump right in the middle of his presidential campaign.

The Deep State who has been accused of overthrowing the elected government of the United State by manipulating the 2020 presidential election—a coup—benefits from confrontation with the Patriots. ALL documentation the last four years on that election confirms this happened. Are they planning another January 6 for all the MAGA people—perhaps even a civil war—to hide it?

This would benefit the Deep State. If the election was stolen they know their guilt, thus they fear three things: discovery, a sentence of treason, and a stay in Guantanamo Bay after trial. They expect a counter!!! Certainly this was supposed when Biden had fences erected around the capitol on three separate occasions initiating his presidency. This more so now than ever as all evidence shows Biden was never really elected and especially as they witness the exploding growth of the MAGA movement. A nation-wide repeat of January 6 removes all attention from them, essentially burying the evidence against them. Why not get the narrative started that the Patriots will do something?

Will there be violence before the 2024 election, or after? Yes, not by MAGA but by people dressed as MAGA and the Deep State media will film it all just as they did Antifa, dressed as MAGA, on January 6 and replay it for weeks after. Why would we expect a different plan when the one used then worked so well for two years? When you are guilty you camouflage the evidence as did the January 6th Commission 8 months ago.

As we have published before, the Patriot Front, their faces always covered, has been practicing for a moment like this for at least three years and is poised to be the fake MAGA in the hope of bringing actual MAGA into the fray. Please do not be enticed. The expected counter-revolution will happen November 5, 2024, in a one day election using only paper ballots and protected by the military, but this is a column for another time.
