FBI Labeled Gadsden Flag, Second Amendment, & Revolutionary War Images as “Extremist”

The FBI has now classified the Gadsden flag, Revolutionary War images, and Second Amendment as extremist. 

On August 2, 2022, Project Veritas published documents from the FBI detailing symbols they believe are used by

“Anti-Government or Anti-Authority Violent Extremists.” The FBI places these groups under the specific umbrella “Militia Violent Extremists” (MVE).

“The following symbols are used by Anti-Government or Anti-Authority Violent Extremists, specifically Militia Violent Extremists. MVE symbols are often found on propaganda, online platforms, memes, merchandise, group logos, flags, tattoos, uniforms, etc. Widespread use of symbols and quotes from American history, especially the Revolutionary War, exists within MVE networks, Historic and contemporary military themes are common for MVE symbols,” the FBI document outlined. 

The FBI document also listed off several historic symbols such as the Gadsden Flag, the Liberty Tree, and the Betsy Ross Flag as symbols associated with extremist groups.

Other phrases that MVEs use such as “when tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty,” “Well Regulated American Militia,” and “I will not comply” have also raised alarms for the FBI. 

At best, this is much ado about nothing. At worst, the US Deep State is using concepts that are very much part of the American experience to justify the persecution of potentially millions of lawful Americans. 

Here’s the thing. There are many members of the US government that have globalist, post-national mindsets where they see any appeals to the US founding as “retrograde”, “reactionary”, and backwards. Therefore, they must be replaced with more “progressive” practices such as public administration, technocracy, and a broader rule by experts.

It’s clear that the new class that rules America does not like the country and its founding culture. Should these people fully take control of political affairs, America as we know it will cease to exist. 

That’s why it’s incumbent upon patriotic Americans to stop this globalist class who wants to destroy the concepts that made America great.
