Democrat Joe Biden and his administration have boldly come out of the closet now as authoritarians. The evidence is found in a recent press release from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), where Secretary Mayorkas is honest about Biden’s plans of funding leftist nonprofits and NGOs to do the work that we have elected people to do- and that taxpayers have funded agencies to do. Still, now the left has invented a way of going around normal channels and creating their own well funded secret government.
“The Department of Homeland Security is the Biggest Police force that no one monitors,” the Guardian reported in 2021.
And now the Democrats want more money to further fund non-government agencies (NGOs) to assist the DHS- as they are all friends, and no one has oversight over them, so the Democrats will get a lot more control over the population- right?
First, there is the concern that Biden is using the DHS to further persecute his political enemies, which is what Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn posted about:
Biden’s DHS wants to equate dissenting speech to domestic terrorism but ignores the threat of potential terrorists crossing our southern border.

Secondly, there is a concern that Biden is using his position to shut his opponents out of the public square- and also fund the Marxist left:
We may face $8/Gal Gas, but at least we'll get new Domestic Terrorism laws to lock the bank accounts of the protesters.

This DHS press release spells it out for people who know what to look for:
DHS Releases Report on Internal Review of Domestic Violent Extremism Release Date: March 11, 2022
Secretary Mayorkas Directs DHS to Swiftly Address Shortfalls Identified in Report.
WASHINGTON – Today, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released a report on how it can best prevent, detect, and respond to potential threats related to domestic violent extremism within the Department.
This report is the product of a comprehensive high-level internal review that Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas directed, and it highlights the steps that DHS should take to improve our ability to adequately identify and address related threats.
These recommendations will also better enable the Department to continue executing its critical mission and ensure its employees are safe and secure at work. Among the key recommendations, which the Department is working to implement with urgency, the report highlights the need for clear guidance as to what constitutes violent extremist activity and how to address it, improved workforce training for how to identify and report this activity, and the development of a centralized, DHS-wide investigative case management system and information sharing mechanism for investigating related allegations. Secretary Mayorkas has directed DHS to swiftly implement the report’s recommendations.
“Every day, the more than 250,000 dedicated public servants at DHS work to ensure the safety and security of communities across our country. To ensure we are able to continue executing our critical mission with honor and integrity, we will not tolerate hateful acts or violent extremist activity within our Department,” said Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas.
“The findings of this internal review highlight key steps that our Department will continue to take with urgency to better prevent, detect, and respond to potential internal threats related to domestic violent extremism, and protect the integrity of our mission.”
Over the coming months, DHS will focus on implementing the report’s recommendations to include establishing baseline policies and guidance, promoting employee awareness, and enhancing methods to identify and address violent extremist activity, while continuing to protect privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties. DHS has already begun addressing many of the gaps identified in the report, including by updating related employee training modules and developing guides for leaders to reference when discussing violent extremist activity.
In April 2021, at the direction of Secretary Mayorkas, a cross-Departmental working group began a comprehensive review to identify how to best prevent, detect, and respond to potential threats related to domestic violent extremism within DHS.
The scope of this review included identifying potential gaps in existing resources, authorities, and capabilities, including those related to the initial and ongoing screening and vetting of personnel to detect potential domestic violent extremism-related activity. Secretary Mayorkas pledged to share the results of this review with Congress and the public, and today’s release of the report fulfills that pledge.
Domestic violent extremism poses one of the most significant terrorism-related threats to the United States. During the Biden-Harris Administration, DHS has prioritized combating all forms of terrorism and targeted violence, including through its efforts to support the first-ever National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism. Since January 2021, DHS has taken several steps in this regard, including:
established a new domestic terrorism branch within I&A dedicated to producing sound, timely intelligence needed to counter domestic terrorism-related threats; launched the Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships (CP3) to provide communities with resources and tools to help prevent individuals from radicalizing to violence; designated domestic violent extremism as a “National Priority Area” within DHS’s Homeland Security Grant Program for the first time, resulting in at least $77 million being spent on preventing, preparing for, protecting against, and responding to related threats nationwide;
provided $180 million in funding to support target hardening and other physical security enhancements to non-profit organizations at high risk of terrorist attack through DHS’s Nonprofit Security Grant Program for which Secretary Mayorkas has called for a significant increase in funding;
increased efforts to better identify and evaluate mis- dis- and mal-information (MDM) with a homeland security nexus, including false or misleading conspiracy theories spread on social media and other online platforms that endorse violence; and,
enhanced collaboration with public and private sector partners – including U.S. critical infrastructure owners and operators – to better protect our cyber and physical infrastructure and increase nationwide cybersecurity resilience through the Department’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).
THERE IS SO MUCH MORE
Remember- the left has funded their entire usurpation of our Republic by funding Non-Government Organizations and nonprofits. Think Back Lives Matter.
They are also denying us- their political opponents any opportunity to use an outside group for any reason, including election integrity.
