The (New Normal) war on domestic terror Things aren’t looking so good. I guess I’ll see you in a quarantine camp, or in the psych ward, or an offshore detention facility. Or maybe in the streets

f you enjoyed the Global War on Terror, you’re going to love the new War on Domestic Terror! It’s just like the original Global War on Terror, except that this time the “Terrorists” are all “Domestic Violent Extremists” (“DVEs”), “Homegrown Violent Extremists” (“HVEs”), “Violent Conspiracy-Theorist Extremists” (“VCTEs”), “Violent Reality Denialist Extremists” (VRDEs”), “Insurrectionary Micro-Aggressionist Extremists” (“IMAEs”), “People Who Make Liberals Feel Uncomfortable” (“PWMLFUs”), and anyone else the Department of Homeland Security wants to label an “extremist” and slap a ridiculous acronym on. According to a “National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin” issued by the DHS on Jan 27, these DCEs, HVEs, VCTEs, VRDEs, IMAEs, and PWMLFUs are “ideologically-motivated violent extremists with objections to the exercise of governmental authority” and other “perceived grievances fuelled by false narratives.” They are believed to be “motivated by a range of issues, including anger over Covid-19 restrictions, the

2020 election results, police use of force”, and other dangerous “false narratives” (e.g., the existence of the “deep state”, “herd immunity”, “biological sex”, “God”, and so on). “Inspired by foreign terrorist groups”, and “emboldened by the breach of the US Capitol Building”, this diabolical network of “domestic terrorists” is “plotting attacks against government facilities”, “threatening violence against critical infrastructure”, and actively “citing misinformation and conspiracy theories about Covid19”. For all we know, they might be huddled in the “Wolf’s Lair” at Mar-a-Lago right now, plotting a devastating terrorist attack with those WMDs we never found in Iraq, or generating populationadjusted death-rate charts going back 20 years, or posting pictures of “extremist frogs” on the Internet. The Department of Homeland Security is “concerned”, as are its counterparts throughout the global capitalist empire. The (New Normal) War on Domestic Terror isn’t just a war on American
“domestic terror”. The “domestic terror” threat is international. France has just passed a “Global Security Law” banning citizens from filming the police beating the living snot out of people (among other “anti-terrorist” provisions). In Germany, the government is preparing to install an anti-terror moat around the Reichstag. In the Netherlands, the police are cracking down on the VCTEs, VRDEs, and other “angry citizens who hate the system”, who have been protesting over nightly curfews. Suddenly, everywhere you look (or at least if you are looking in the corporate media), “global extremism networks are growing”. It’s time for Globocap to take the gloves off again, root the “terrorists” out of their hidey holes, and roll out a new official narrative.

ctually, there’s not much new about it. When you strip away all the silly new acronyms, the (New Normal) War on Domestic Terror is basically just a combination of the “War on Terror” narrative and the “New Normal” narrative, i.e., a militarisation of the so-called
