The Federal Emergency Management Agency, often criticized for its inadequate response to natural disasters like wildfires, floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes, has been assigned a new mission: “domestic terrorism.”

Now FEMA is shelling out grant money to state and local authorities to build up capacity to carry out pre-crime operations against “organized political violence,” as one FEMA information bulletin I obtained says.

    So our shitty fascist "government’ took over what was once a response system to get aid to those effected by a disaster and turned into yet another Nazi system as if they didn’t already have the brown shirts???

    Organized political violence? Pretty sure the Pedo-in-Chief means anyone who speaks out about him!
