President Biden addresses the nation from the White House on the federal COVID-19 pandemic response Jan. 4, 2022 (Video screenshot)
As the Biden administration joins in the effort to silence Joe Rogan for giving voice to views contrary to the government's pandemic narrative, the Department of Homeland Security is identifying the "proliferation of false or misleading narratives" as among the top terror threats.
In a National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin issued Monday, DHS warned of a heightened threat of terror due in part to "an online environment filled with false or misleading narratives and conspiracy theories, and other forms of mis- dis- and mal-information (MDM) introduced and/or amplified by foreign and domestic threat actors."
"These threat actors seek to exacerbate societal friction to sow discord and undermine public trust in government institutions to encourage unrest, which could potentially inspire acts of violence," the alert said.
The agency warned of "[m]ass casualty attacks and other acts of targeted violence conducted by lone offenders and small groups acting in furtherance of ideological beliefs and/or personal grievances pose an ongoing threat to the nation."
The memo states as an example the "widespread online proliferation of false or misleading narratives regarding unsubstantiated widespread election fraud and COVID-19."

"Grievances associated with these themes inspired violent extremist attacks during 2021," DHS said.
"Malign foreign powers have and continue to amplify these false or misleading narratives in efforts to damage the United States."
Last August, as the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks approached, a DHS bulletin warned of threats from foreign and domestic terrorists engaged in “grievance-based violence,” including “grievances over public health safety measures and perceived government restrictions."
In November, whistleblower documents indicated the FBI used its counterterrorism division to investigate and place "threat tags" on parents who confront school boards, contradicting the sworn testimony of Attorney General Merrick Garland.
The White House acknowledged it coordinated a Sept. 29 letter from the National School Boards Association to President Biden labeling parents as "domestic terrorists" and urging the Justice Department to use federal tools, including the Patriot Act, to target parents.
The White House recently has stepped into the controversy over Joe Rogan's interviews with prominent medical scientists Dr. Robert Malone and Dr. Peter McCullough. Press secretary Jan Psaki has declared that flagging "misinformation" contrary to the government's narrative is not enough, and social media platforms must do more.
In an interview with MSNBC, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy said the "platforms still have not stepped up to do the right thing, and do enough, I should say, to reduce the spread of misinformation."
EDITOR'S NOTE: Last year, America's doctors, nurses and paramedics were celebrated as frontline heroes battling a fearsome new pandemic. Today, under Joe Biden, tens of thousands of these same heroes are denounced as rebels, conspiracy theorists, extremists and potential terrorists. Along with massive numbers of police, firemen, Border Patrol agents, Navy SEALs, pilots, air-traffic controllers, and countless other truly essential Americans, they're all considered so dangerous as to merit termination, their professional and personal lives turned upside down due to their decision not to be injected with the experimental COVID vaccines. Biden's tyrannical mandate threatens to cripple American society – from law enforcement to airlines to commercial supply chains to hospitals. It's already happening. But the good news is that huge numbers of "yesterday's heroes" are now fighting back – bravely and boldly. The whole epic showdown is laid out as never before in the sensational October issue of WND's monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled "THE GREAT AMERICAN REBELLION: 'We will not comply!' COVID-19 power grab ignites bold new era of national defiance."
