Governor Kathy Hochul's deployment of additional staff to the Joint Terrorism Task Force is viewed as a precursor to potential "false flag" attacks blamed on Trump supporters. General Flynn suggests that operatives from groups like Antifa, Hamas, and MS-13 could be utilized to create civil unrest. The administration may counter these state-level actions by withholding federal funding from non-compliant governors.

The domestic population is increasingly treated as the enemy by state agencies that were originally designed to fight foreign terrorists. The "Joint Task Force Empire Shield" is highlighted as a military unit patrolling New York transportation hubs in camouflage with automatic rifles. This shift is compared to the 2020 George Floyd protests, where the use of the National Guard was criticized, yet is now being implemented by Democratic leaders under different pretexts.

Trenas Evans details an FBI SWAT raid on his home that occurred while he was preparing for his father-in-law's funeral. He shares a bizarre account of capturing a federal human trafficking fugitive while on pretrial release, only for the DOJ to allegedly cover up the incident and label him a "vigilante." Evans characterizes the federal justice system as a "rotten" two-tiered institution targeting political dissidents.

A recording of Senator Jeff Merkley questioning Steven Sund reveals that an FBI intelligence report warning of violence was received by a sergeant at the Capitol Police but never reached Sund. Sund expresses frustration over being denied National Guard support both before and during the riot. Jones argues this confirms the event was a coordinated effort to brand the populist movement as domestic terrorists.

The FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force recently visited an InfoWars crew member who was not present in Washington D.C. during the January 6th Capitol events. This visit is characterized as part of a broader effort by the Department of Justice to target Trump supporters and independent media figures as domestic terrorists. The investigation is criticized for ignoring foreign agents while focusing on peaceful American citizens.
