Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard has now released the declassified part of the Biden administration’s game plan that sought to censor about half of the American people over the past four years and ahead of the November 2024 election.
The strategy was known as the Strategic Implementation Plan for countering Domestic Terrorism.
As promised, I have declassified the Biden Administration’s Strategic Implementation Plan for Countering Domestic Terrorism.

She writes: “As promised, I have declassified the Biden Administration’s Strategic Implementation Plan for Countering Domestic Terrorism.”
Former Missouri state Attorney General and now-Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) has shared a helpful breakdown of the scheme on his X account. He begins by describing it as “a roadmap for left-wing ideological warfare.”
In June 2021, the Biden admin released its public strategy for “countering domestic terrorism.”
In a lawsuit, @America1stLegal discovered that there was a separate, classified version of that plan.
But the private version wasn’t public—until now.https://t.co/eQ6fJtwaGZ

“This was written in the early months of the Biden presidency,” he writes. “But it lays out, in detail, exactly what they would go on to do—and how they justified it.”
Sen. Schmitt continues: “By adopting the framework of ‘domestic terrorism’ (DT), they could effectively treat their critics as enemies of the state.”
It was so troubling that even the liberals at American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) called it out:
When it dropped in 2021, the public version of this “domestic terrorism” plan generated a huge backlash. It was the first time in U.S. history that a president had ever come out with a national plan to combat “domestic terrorism.”

But it was even worse than anyone imagined, as the now-declassified parts of it reveal:
The plan lays out a four-pillar strategy:
1) Understand and Share DT-Related Information
2) Prevent DT Recruitment and Mobilization to Violence
3) Disrupt and Deter DT Activity
4) Confront Long-Term Contributors to DT
Schmitt explains that the first pillar focused on “information-sharing,” with “every arm of the government” acting like the tentacles of an octopus and reaching into every aspect of Americans’ lives. We saw clear signs of this with the major pushback parents across the country got from the school boards of their children’s schools.

The second pillar was put in place to disrupt conservatives from fighting back against the Biden administration’s censorship:
Pillar Two is preventing “recruitment” and “mobilization.” In practice, this meant mobilizing the security state to censor and suppress right-wingers.

As Schmitt explained further in a thread linked here, this was the part that many readers are all too familiar with, where “the Biden administration would partner with powerful ‘third-party’ actors—Big Tech, left-wing NGOs, anti-‘hate’ groups, etc—to implement this censorship regime.”
In 2021, as my colleague Brandon Morse wrote, one of those groups, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), tried to get advertisers to pull their support from Tucker Carlson’s then-Fox News show. Of course, we would be here all day, if I listed all of the instances where Team Biden worked hand in hand with Big Tech to silence our side.
The third pillar pushed up the priority level of “domestic terrorism” in the Biden administration, while unleashing the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to hunt it down:
Pillar Three is about transforming the mission of the security state to place a higher priority on prosecuting “domestic terrorism,” and pushing for expanded power to pursue that agenda.
And that’s what they did. In Biden’s first year, the FBI more than doubled its DT caseload. pic.twitter.com/FNDCoRdacN

Readers will likely remember stories in these pages on the FBI making unannounced raids on the homes of innocent pro-life supporters.
Finally, the fourth pillar sought to make our government “a vehicle for leftism,” as Sen. Schmitt writes:
“It calls for funding ‘civics education’ to teach ‘action civics’ (read: left-wing activism) and wielding law enforcement to ‘mitigate xenophobia and bias’ in COVID policy.”
As he concludes, we can never again allow our federal government to enact this level of tyranny against the people.
But the private, internal one is worse. It’s specific, direct, and doesn’t hide behind vague, sweeping generalities.
When read in light of everything the Biden administration went on to do, their overarching goals are crystal clear.
We can never let this happen again. End 🧵
