Dept. of Homeland Security flirting with totalitarianism
[American Thinker] Now that the Department of Justice and FBI are using the 1/6/21 Capitol incursion to demonize all who attended the massive rally that day, imputing "insurrection," "white supremacy," and "extremism" to them, massive political repression may be coming. Consider this from Politico:

The Department of Homeland Security is considering monitoring the travel of domestic extremists and expanding its use of the No Fly List, law enforcement sources told POLITICO.

The discussions are part of the Biden administration’s strategy of treating domestic terror as a national security threat, and not just a law enforcement problem. They're also part of broader conversations in government about how to use tools developed for the Global War on Terror to combat domestic extremism. And, if past is prologue, the approach could prove politically contentious.

Don't forget that the head of the DHS, Alejandro Mayorkas, has shown himself to be a willing liar in service to the powers running the Biden regime.

The No Fly List is an arbitrary means of denying the right to travel long distances quickly to anyone. While it can be challenged in court, be prepared to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in attorneys’ fees and wait years for the appeals process to work. In the meantime, forget about organizing a national political movement, starting a new business, attending distant weddings or funerals, or otherwise living life to its fullest in "the land of the free."

Who is a "domestic extremist"? Plenty of Democrats think anyone who expresses support for Trump or even Ron DeSantis qualifies, especially if they are Caucasian. DHS bureaucrats get to apply that label to anyone they want.

The Deep State is already hashing out its plans:
