FBI’s New Political Pre-Crime Center

'President Trump's budget request to Congress contains the largest counterterrorism spending increase in years — and buried inside it is a new FBI-led center dedicated to “proactively” hunting Americans the government classifies as so-called domestic terrorists.

The new center and funding boost represent the implementation of Trump’s National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7), the sweeping federal order I’ve been covering since it was signed last September.

Though public opposition to #ICE succeeded at forcing the administration to back down in Minnesota — even firing both Kristi Noem and Gregory Bovino — the #FBI is doubling down its #domesticterrorism obsession.

In other words, if your political views are practically anything other than #MAGA, you’re on notice, courtesy of the FBI...'

Personally, I think the most obvious place to study how the NSPM-7 driven repurposing of the counter terrorism police state apparatus towards suppressing antifascist political dissent, can be found in the Trumpenreich's still ongoing Gestapo occupation in Minneapolis. It gets much easier to understand the horrifying escalation of systemic brutality and violence (including the cold-blooded murder of two American citizens for the crime of "recording the Gestapo doing an ethnic cleansing operation") between what we saw in LA this past summer, and Operation "Metro Surge" in Minneapolis, once you understand the President himself has instructed the police state to treat opposition and dissent as pre-crime terrorism. Still, even beyond the military operations the Trump regime is conducting against us in our streets to continue a genocide-in-progress, news is leaking out on the margins that proves NSPM-7 has indeed created the anti-dissent COINTELPRO operation of the Swine Emperor and Stephen Miller's dreams.

Take for example the recent announcement by nonviolent climate activist group Extinction Rebellion, that they appear to be under investigation by the FBI under suspicion of "terrorism" that can literally only be explained if you choose to define "terrorism" as opposition to Trump and the Pork Reich's fascist agenda, the way NSPM-7 and Bondi's Justice Department memo discussed in the thread above do.

Nonviolent Climate Activist Group Says It’s Been Targeted by FBI ‘Terrorism’ Task Force

“I believe this to be a significant escalation of the criminal legal system against Extinction Rebellion and find it very troubling,” Ron Kuby, an attorney for Extinction Rebellion, said. “This is usually the way we find out an actual investigation is underway and is often followed by other visits and other actions.”

He said he found it strange that Extinction Rebellion would become the target of a terrorism investigation. Members of the group take part in acts of what they call “nonviolent civil disobedience” such as blocking roads, sit-ins at public buildings, and occasional vandalism.

The group has sought to use these tactics to draw attention to leaders’ inaction in fighting the climate crisis. Increasingly, they have launched protests against the Trump administration’s policies more broadly, including its deployment of federal immigration agents in cities across the country.

While its actions can be disruptive, Extinction Rebellion has always been nonviolent, Kuby said, and its tactics are at worst misdemeanor offenses, which typically wouldn’t interest federal law enforcement."

As this article goes on to note, this isn't the first time the Trump regime has employed the FBI to harass and intimidate Extinction Rebellion activists; this is a feature of both Trump's domestic policing policies, but also growing civil rights violations across much of the capitalist Pig Empire directed against climate and environmental activists who threaten capital by opposing the fossil fuel production and consumption that drives capitalism itself.

"Last year, six members of its sister group in Boston said the feds came to their doors, all on the same day in March, and questioned them without providing any business cards or explanation for their visit.

According to WBUR reporting at the time, none of the activists questioned had a history of participating in violent protests or of facing felony charges in federal or Massachusetts courts.

Jeff Feuer, a lawyer in Cambridge who has represented climate activists for more than three decades, told the outlet, “Until this year, I have never heard about the FBI or any other federal law enforcement officer visiting or questioning any of the hundreds of climate activists that I have personally represented.”

What tips us off that something has changed, and that change is NSPM-7, is the fact that the former Extinction Rebellion member was specifically visited by an agent from the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Forces - those would be the same JTTFs that Pam Bondi's Justice Department memo (order) directed to start cracking down on left wing "terrorism" as defined by her, Trump, and Stephen Miller. So, protesting against Trumpenreich fascism, filming Gestapo agents doing ethnic cleansing, or simply calling this fascist administration what it is - a bunch of unhinged nazi crook liars doing fascism.

Of course, we don't know why the JTTF fed contacted a former member of Extinction Rebellion, but given the orders the Trump regime has put down it writing we can surmise that there was nothing benign about the visit - perhaps they were looking to cultivate a snitch, as per Bondi's instructions? We may never know. What we do know is that Trump's FBI is investigating nonviolent climate protestors like they're Al-Qaeda; just like Stephen Miller promised they would after Charlie Kirk's murder.

Given everything you know about the Trump regime, and especially its obscenely dishonest and corrupt Departments of Justice and Homeland Security, would it surprise you to learn that the Trumpenreich trotted out DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin to deny these enemies lists even existed? I thought not, nor do I expect you to be surprised to learn that she was, as usual, just bald-faced lying to the American people.

‘She’s Lying’: Journalist Exposes Secret Watch Lists That Trump Official Says Don’t Exist

"Despite denials from a senior Trump administration official, secret watchlists of Americans are being used by federal agencies to track and categorize US citizens—especially protesters, activists, and critics of law enforcement—as “domestic terrorists,” investigative journalist Ken Klippenstein reported Wednesday.

Klippenstein said that two senior national security officials speaking on condition of anonymity told him that there are over a dozen “secret and obscure” watchlists that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI are using to track anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and pro-Palestine protesters, antifa-affiliated individuals, and “others who are promiscuously labeled ‘domestic terrorists.’”

Of course, a smarter nazi than the likes of Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi, or McLaughlin probably would have realized it's not a great idea to publicly call the NatSec journalist who clearly has sources inside your own department a liar, but it's safe to say the Trumpenreich isn't composed of the best and the brightest this nation has to offer the species, so I'm not surprised they tried it. Through those sources, Klippenstein was able to confirm that DHS and the FBI were maintaining a whole bunch of different watchlists that appear to be targeting Americans the Trumpenreich doesn't like; to fight "terrorism."

As this article notes however, the reality is that at the very same time McLaughlin was setting the regime up for a spectacular own goal, ICE Gestapo goons in the street and Trumpenreich "Border Czar" Tom Homan were publicly talking about the existence of a "domestic terrorism database" expressly targeting people exercising their civil rights to protest ICE's ongoing and illegal ethnic cleansing project. In other words, one part of the Trump administration was denying the existence of these enemies lists, while another part of the Trump administration was intentionally threatening to put protestors on an enemies list that legally shouldn't even exist. This would be fucking hilarious if these people weren't trying to install a fascist dictatorship that will pile corpses so high it will blot out the sun if we don't come together as a society and stop them.

And why exactly does the US government think Trump's anti-terrorism apparatus has the right to go full McCarthyism on everyday Americans who don't want a fascist dictatorship or ethnic cleansing? Yes, that's correct - because of NSPM-7, and Bondi's ensuing Justice Department memo.

Okay, so they're caught red-handed; through leaks, and by Homan's own admission, the regime is keeping enemies lists. Furthermore, while corporate US media coverage of these events was still dismal, by now the opposition Democratic Party had locked on to NSPM-7 and the enemies lists Bondi's memo instructed the FBI to make, as a genuine threat to American democracy. Surely in February, once Democrats on the Oversight Committee had Pam Bondi under oath, she'd have to let the cat out of the bag, right? Absolutely not. Bondi stonewalled - even though, we literally have a leaked copy of her order to compile those enemies lists because of Ken Klippenstein's reporting.

Bondi Stonewalls Congress on the ‘Enemies List’ She Directed DOJ to Compile

"When the congresswoman asked Bondi to confirm whether the list she called for in her December memo has been compiled, the attorney general said she was “not going to answer yes or no” before saying that “an antifa member” was arrested earlier this month in Minneapolis for “cyberstalking.”

Scanlon later asked Bondi if she would commit to providing the committee with the list of entities that the DOJ believes should be “designated as domestic terrorist organizations.”

“I’m not going to commit to anything to you because you won’t let me answer questions,” the attorney general replied.

Scanlon responded, “We understand your current position is that you have a secret list of people or groups who you are accusing of domestic terrorism, but you won’t share it with Congress.”

So you got that right? The AG who instructed the FBI to start making political enemies lists, refuses to confirm or deny that those lists now exist, but is also pretty sure "antifa is a part of that" - where that is enemies lists that don't exist. Kafka fucking wept.

As I mentioned in the post above, the US corporate media's response to the seismic event that was Downmarket Mussolini signing NSPM-7, was pretty much a collective yawn; but antifascist organizers and independent journalists took the threat of a new fascist COINTEPRO operation seriously. In early December, 2025, Ken Klippenstein once again broke a story of the decade when he obtained a leaked memo from Trumpenreich Attorney General Pam Bondi ordering the FBI to compile political "enemies" lists, bribe Americans to snitch on each other for thought crimes, and seed supposed "terrorist organizations" with informants. So, literally the full J. Edgar Hoover.

FBI Making List of American “Extremists,” Leaked Memo Reveals

"Attorney General Pam Bondi is ordering the FBI to “compile a list of groups or entities engaging in acts that may constitute domestic terrorism,” according to a Justice Department memo published here exclusively.

The target is those expressing “opposition to law and immigration enforcement; extreme views in favor of mass migration and open borders; adherence to radical gender ideology,” as well as “anti-Americanism,” “anti-capitalism,” and “anti-Christianity.”

That language echoes the so-called indicators of terrorism identified by President Trump’s directive National Security Presidential Memorandum-7, or NSPM-7, which the memo says it’s intended to implement. Where NSPM-7 was a declaration of war on just about anyone who isn’t MAGA, this is the war plan for how the government will wage it on a tactical level."

This is a much shorter article that's probably worth your time to read in full. The quick version here however is that in addition to making an "enemies" of the Trumpenreich watchlist, Bondi also wants to beef up the FBI tip line to make it easier to snitch on your neighbors, doll out cash rewards for snitches who help them round up pinkos and other undesirables, and funnel Justice Department grant money into this new "war on terror" (read: opposition to fascism) right here at home. She also instructed the feds to cultivate "cooperators to provide information and eventually testify against other members" of the groups (read: more than half the country) she's identified as a terrorist threat.

Finally, because literally all fascist laws are retroactive, Bondi also wants reach into the past to punish thoughtcrime, dissent, and political opposition.

"The memo also directs the FBI and JTTFs to retroactively investigate incidents going back five years, authorizing the JTTFs in particular to use everything at their disposal to do so.

“Upon receipt of these referrals, the JTTFs shall use all available investigative tools, consistent with law enforcement internal policies and statutory obligations, to map the full network of culpable actors involved in the referred conduct inside and outside the United States,” the memo says."

So, the fascist Trump regime is tasking the FBI with making political enemies lists, and the fascist Attorney General wants cops all over the country to investigate and hopefully arrest you for that post you made calling Trump "Cheeto Mussolini" back in 2021. Furthermore, the Department of Justice has created a roadmap to persecute anyone a random MAGA cultist wants to punish for talking back in precisely the way Trump's fascist advisor Stephen Miller promised the Trumpenreich would immediately after Kirk's assassination. Shit man; that sounds serious, doesn't it?

That may be so. But whatever you do however, don't tell the corporate American media about all this - because as Klippenstein notes, they've been fast asleep this entire time.
