Summary of Terrorism Threat to the United States

The United States remains in a heightened threat environment.

[OCS: The prime source of domestic threats are the progressive communist democrats and their corrupt policies.]

Lone offenders and small groups motivated by a range of ideological beliefs and/or personal grievances continue to pose a persistent and lethal threat to the Homeland. 

[OCS: Most of these threats arise from the left and are encouraged by the lack of law enforcement attention and the lax criminal justice system.]

Domestic actors and foreign terrorist organizations continue to maintain a visible presence online in attempts to motivate supporters to conduct attacks in the Homeland. 

[OCS: This is the predicate for the government’s domestic surveillance efforts and violation of dissenting free speech.]

Threat actors have recently mobilized to violence, citing factors such as reactions to current events and adherence to violent extremist ideologies.

[OCS: The primary threat actors were associated with the progressive communist democrats, and there is no mistaking the violence, murder, mayhem, and property destruction associated with progressive communist democrat-supported groups like Antifa and Black Lives Matter.]

In the coming months, threat actors could exploit several upcoming events to justify or commit acts of violence, including certifications related to the midterm elections, the holiday season and associated large gatherings, the marking of two years since the breach of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, and potential sociopolitical developments connected to ideological beliefs or personal hostility.

[OCS: The main threat to election integrity comes from the progressive communist democrats. The Jan 6 breach of the Capitol remains suspicious as it appears to partly be a false flag operation deployed by the progressive communist democrats, with quite a few “mostly peaceful” people being welcomed inside the capitol complex by the authorities. The corrupt Jan 6 House Committee remains a corrupt cover-up.]

Targets of potential violence include public gatherings, faith-based institutions, the LGBTQI+ community, schools, racial and religious minorities, government facilities and personnel, U.S. critical infrastructure, the media, and perceived ideological opponents.

[OCS: In short, any target of opportunity is rendered vulnerable by the lack of adequate hardening or law enforcement presence. This is justification to domestically surveil the entire population for any threat.]

How We Are Responding

DHS works with partners across every level of government, in the private sector, and in local communities to keep Americans safe, including through the following examples of our resources and support:

• DHS and the FBI continue to share timely and actionable information and intelligence with the broadest audience possible. This includes sharing information and intelligence with our partners across every level of government and in the private sector. We conduct recurring threat briefings with private sector and state, local, tribal, territorial, and campus partners, including to inform security planning efforts. DHS remains committed to working with our partners to identify and prevent all forms of terrorism and targeted violence, and to support law enforcement efforts to keep our communities safe.
• In July 2022, DHS reconstituted the Faith-based Security Advisory Council (FBSAC). The FBSAC serves as an advisory body with the purpose of providing guidance and recommendations to the Secretary on the development and implementation of strategies, policies, programs, and information sharing practices that will further the Department’s ability to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from acts of targeted violence or terrorism, major disasters, cyberattacks, or other threats or emergencies against places of worship, faith communities, and faith-based organizations. 
• DHS’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A), the FBI, and the National Counterterrorism Center in 2021 jointly updated behavioral indicators of U.S. extremist mobilization to violence. Further, I&A’s National Threat Evaluation and Reporting Program continues to provide tools and resources for federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial partners on preventing terrorism and targeted violence, including online suspicious activity reporting training.
• DHS’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) works with government and private sector partners – including owners and operators of critical infrastructure and public gathering places – to enhance security and mitigate risks posed by acts of terrorism and targeted violence through its network of Protective Security Advisors and resources addressing Active Shooters, School Safety, Bombing Prevention, and Soft Targets-Crowded Places.
• DHS’s Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships (CP3) educates and trains stakeholders on how to identify indicators of radicalization to violence, where to seek help, and the resources that are available to prevent targeted violence and terrorism. In 2022, CP3 awarded about $20 million in grants through its Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention (TVTP) Grant Program.
• In 2021 and 2022, DHS designated domestic violent extremism as a “National Priority Area” within its Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP), enabling our partners to access critical funds that help prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to related threats.
• In 2022, DHS’s Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) provided over $250 million in funding to support target hardening and other physical security enhancements to non-profit organizations at high risk of terrorist attack.
• DHS remains focused on recognizing disinformation that threatens the security of the American people, including disinformation by foreign states such as Russia, China, and Iran, or other adversaries, including as transnational criminal organizations and human smuggling organizations.
• SchoolSafety.gov consolidates school safety-related resources from across the government. Through this website, the K-12 academic community can also connect with school safety officials and develop school safety plans.
• The DHS Center for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships continues to engage a coalition of faith-based and community organizations, including members of the Faith-based Security Advisory Council, to help build the capacity of faith-based and community organizations seeking to protect their places of worship and community spaces.

[OCS: The government is incentivizing or coercing private individuals or organizations to act as de facto agents of the government as a “workaround” to the protections afforded by the U.S. Constitution. Including domestic surveillance and the maintenance of dossier databases prohibited by federal law – but whose results may be purchased by federal agencies from private sources.]

[OCS: Funding for school and church safety organizations should be handled by block grants to state agencies rather than the direct involvement with the federal government that seems to overlook offenses committed by Muslims.]

[OCS: The most significant source of disinformation remains the U.S. government and corrupt political regimes.]
