Trump Administration's Secret NSPM-7 Directive Targets Domestic Dissent

NSPM-7: A Sweeping National Security Directive

• 🎯 National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7), not an executive order, was issued by the Trump administration to focus federal law enforcement on "radical violence."
• 📜 Unlike executive orders, NSPM-7 is a sweeping, overarching strategy intended for a 3-year focus, with some sections being classified.
• ⚖️ The directive shifts from traditional crime fighting to counterterrorism frameworks, aiming to prevent crimes before they occur.

Broad Definitions of "Domestic Terrorist"

• 🔍 The memorandum lists "indicators" of forthcoming political violence, which are described as vague and encompassing potentially millions of Americans.
• 🚩 Examples of these indicators include sentiments such as anti-Christian sentiment, anti-Americanism, and opposition to traditional family values.
• 👤 Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a directive to law enforcement, targeting individuals with "extreme views" on issues like mass migration, gender ideology, anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity.

Concerns Over Misuse and Surveillance

• ⚠️ Critics worry that the broad definitions could lead to mass surveillance or even extrajudicial justice within the United States.
• 🏛️ The directive's language echoes previous efforts to target nonprofits and activists under the guise of national security.
• ❓ There are significant concerns about whether individuals designated as domestic terrorists could face lethal force, with the Department of Justice refusing to answer questions on the matter.
• ✊ The memorandum is seen as an existential threat to the Constitution and individual lives due to its broad and potentially weaponizable definitions.
