The full extent of former President Joe Biden’s apparent lawfare seems to be coming to light.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified the Biden Administration’s “Strategic Implementation Plan For Countering Domestic Terrorism” on April 16. The fifteen-page document details “four pillars” of domestic terrorism response, as assessed by intelligence and law enforcement in March 2021.
As promised, I have declassified the Biden Administration’s Strategic Implementation Plan for Countering Domestic Terrorism.

How exactly did the administration plan to accomplish these lofty goals? By, it appears, increasing mass surveillance of the American people.
“Optimize and create, as appropriate, interagency federal and state level data sharing arrangements to improve real-time data and information sharing to identify individuals at risk in order to target interventions at the local, state, and federal level,” the declassified plan explains.
The administration hoped to drive “executive and legislative action, including banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.” Their goal has become law in Colorado, where Democratic Gov. Jared Polis recently approved an absurdly restrictive gun bill.
The document also references implementation of the bizarrely named “COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act,” signed into law in May 2021, as part of “improv[ing] federal hate crimes data and analysis to eliminate hate crimes under-reporting; mitigat[ing] xenophobia and bias, including by advancing inclusion in the nation’s COVID-19 response.” Are we to understand that the coronavirus was committing hate crimes against innocent pedestrians?
Hate has no place in America – and I look forward to making that clear this afternoon by signing the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act into law.

Perhaps most concerning are details of the administration’s attempts at ideological control.
“Norms of non-violent political expression and rejection of racism and bigotry are strengthened,” reads the document. “Americans have increasing faith in democracy and government.”
The neat gloss of “fighting racism” permits the administration enormous discretion in deciding who qualifies as a domestic problem. Democrats have bloated and contorted the definitions of “racism,” “bigotry,” and “democracy” beyond recognition in recent years — often in service of dismissing the concerns of Republican voters. A recent speech reveals just how Biden feels about Trump supporters.
“We can’t go on like this with a nation as divided as we are. It’s never been this divided. Granted, it’s roughly 30%, but it’s a 30% that has no heart,” said the former president.
Joe Biden just called MAGA voters heartless: “We can’t go on like this with a nation as divided as we are. It’s never been this divided. Granted, it’s roughly 30%, but it’s a 30% that has no heart.” pic.twitter.com/EWg1eDSrUL

Biden announced the creation of the nation’s first “National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism” in June 2021. The strategy, as explained to the public, justified itself by dual reasoning: a “resurgence” of racially motivated violence, attacks against government institutions, and associated individuals. Among the latter, according to the document, were the January 6, 2021, protests which culminated in protesters occupying the Capitol.
“Americans witnessed an unprecedented attack against a core institution of our democracy: the U.S. Congress,” the document claims.
Also unprecedented was the Biden administration’s campaign against political rivals under the guise of fighting domestic terrorism.
