ANALYSIS<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 Can we say dangerous left-wing intelligence hack?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Joe Biden and the Democrats demonizing conservatives, partisan, out-of-work former intelligence officers, without much of a \u2018war on terror\u2019 to fight anymore, and looking for new work, are now targeting Americans as their new terrorist bogeyman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And following the bizarre ‘underwear hammer attack’ on Nancy Pelosi\u2019s husband in San Francisco, the Democrats are on a tear blaming Republicans for violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is despite the fact that the Pelosi attacker was a crazy, life-long pot-smoking hippie, left-wing nudist, and illegal alien from Canada who only started making \u2018right-wing\u2019 social media posts a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But once you designate your domestic political opponents as \u2018extremists\u2019 and \u2018enemies of democracy,\u2019 you open the door to widespread abuse and repression by the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And targeting American citizens as if they were ISIS is the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I noted earlier, we should expect to see a host of these former \u2018counter-extremism\u2019 hacks try to parlay their experiences against al-Qaeda to use against their fellow citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the old Cold War \u2018Red Scare\u2019 in reverse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this is just the latest example. A partisan former CIA officer proposing we illegally use \u2018counterterror\u2019 measures against Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Fox News reports<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former Senior Intelligence Service officer at the CIA, Marc Polymeropoulos published a Sunday piece declaring <\/em>that technique once used to fight radical Islam should be turned against the right-wing in America.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polymeropoulos’ piece for NBC News Think warned that propagandists, whether Islamic terrorists or Republicans, should be subject to counterterrorism and counter-radicalization techniques.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I worked in counterterrorism operations for nearly my entire career at the CIA before retiring in 2019. The battle we engaged in with international terrorist groups like Al Qaeda wasn\u2019t just with their legions of foot soldiers but with their highly effective propaganda arms as well,” he wrote. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The U.S. and our allies considered those propagandists fundamental cogs in a terror group\u2019s machinery, and just as culpable as any other terrorist. So we held them accountable when innocent civilians were killed.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polymeropoulos suggested that the attack of Paul Pelosi was evidence that the American government needs to take a firmer approach to its own citizenry.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This type of thinking is outrageous on so many levels. Simply un-American. Unconstitutional. And extremely dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polymeropoulos, who sounds more like a left-wing extremist than an intelligence officer, is also either willfully ignorant or outright deceptive when he claims that the American right has some sort of monopoly on violent rhetoric.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He laughably states that there is “nothing equivalent being done on the other side of the aisle” as far as promoting violence against their political opposition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Democratic politicians and leaders may not like Trump, but they don\u2019t call for violence against him, let alone his execution,” he outrageously claimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, this is outright false.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Fox Notes: \u201cHe neglected to mention multiple incidents of left-wing calls to arms and violence<\/a> against Republicans\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fox added examples<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2017, a far-left former Bernie Sanders campaign volunteer named James T. Hodgkinson fired upon on a group of Republican lawmakers as they practiced for the annual Congressional Baseball Game, critically injuring House Republican Whip Steve Scalise.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Democrats didn\u2019t equate their own hyper-aggressive anti-GOP rhetoric with his violent actions.

And let\u2019s be clear Democrat politicians do incite violence against their GOP opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fox continues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., endorsed harassing political opposition in public in 2018. “They\u2019re not going to be able to go to a restaurant, they\u2019re not going to be able to stop at a gas station, they\u2019re not going to be able to shop at a department store,” Waters proclaimed at the time. “The people are going to turn on them, they’re going to protest, they\u2019re going to absolutely harass them.”<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Polymeropoulos also ignores left-wing activists protesting in front of the houses of Supreme Court justices, firebombing crisis pregnancy centers<\/a>, and doxing (posting the addresses of public figures online). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not to mention the assassination attempt against Justice Brett Kavanaugh by a heavily armed man at his home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recall that in 2020, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., warned Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh that they “will pay the price” for rulings against abortion and “You won\u2019t know what hit you.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can we say “incitement to violence” against Justices?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This ex-CIA hack also overlooks a full year of left-wing politically motivated riots in cities, often encouraged and enabled by Democrat politicians and \u2018community\u2019 leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But facts, consistency, and fairness aren\u2019t needed when you are a political hack trying to get the all-powerful government to use your now unneeded skills to target your fellow Americans who disagree with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All you need is your own extremist leftist rhetoric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
