From the Daily Caller: The full extent of former President Joe Biden’s apparent lawfare seems to be coming to light.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified the Biden Administration’s “Strategic Implementation Plan For Countering Domestic Terrorism” on April 16. The fifteen-page document details “four pillars” of domestic terrorism response, as assessed by intelligence and law enforcement in March 2021.
How exactly did the administration plan to accomplish these lofty goals? By, it appears, increasing mass surveillance of the American people.
“Optimize and create, as appropriate, interagency federal and state level data sharing arrangements to improve real-time data and information sharing to identify individuals at risk in order to target interventions at the local, state, and federal level,” the declassified plan explains.

The Daily Caller points out just some of the disturbing goals the Biden administration was trying to implement against the American people, which would primarily affect conservatives:
- The administration hoped to drive “executive and legislative action, including banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.”
- The document also references implementation of the bizarrely named “COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act,” signed into law in May 2021, as part of “improv[ing] federal hate crimes data and analysis to eliminate hate crimes under-reporting; mitigat[ing] xenophobia and bias, including by advancing inclusion in the nation’s COVID-19 response.”
- The document touts that “Norms of non-violent political expression and rejection of racism and bigotry are strengthened.”
As promised, I have declassified the Biden Administration’s Strategic Implementation Plan for Countering Domestic Terrorism.

Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.) called the newly-released Biden administration document a “roadmap for left-wing ideological warfare.”
In a series of posts on X, Schmitt highlighted chilling concerns:
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.
This was written in the early months of the Biden presidency. But it lays out, in detail, exactly what they would go on to do—and how they justified it. By adopting the framework of “domestic terrorism” (DT), they could effectively treat their critics as enemies of the state.

What’s remarkable about the document is that it’s an explicitly ideological vision. Its scope extends far beyond criminal violence—it encompasses online speech, education, gun control, even election participation. It’s a strategy to suppress not just individuals, but IDEAS.
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
That’s a lot of jargon. Here’s what it actually means.

Pillar One is information-sharing—that’s the “whole-of-government” strategy in practice. They wanted every arm of the government to be a partner in this.
Remember, when this document refers to “domestic terrorism” (DT), we know what they mean—because they publicly told us:

Pillar Two is preventing “recruitment” and “mobilization.” In practice, this meant mobilizing the security state to censor and suppress right-wingers.
We know this, because it was detailed in the thousands of pages of documents we unearthed when I sued the Biden admin in 2021.

The plan lays out the roadmap for how the Biden administration would partner with powerful “third-party” actors—Big Tech, left-wing NGOs, anti-“hate” groups, etc—to implement this censorship regime.
I explained exactly how that system worked here:

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.

Once again, we know what “DT” meant, because we saw it in practice. Pro-life activists, parents, traditional Catholics, conservatives in the military—all were targets.
The plan goes so far as to discuss putting Americans with no ties to foreign terrorism on terror watchlists:

Pillar Four is just openly advocating for the entire federal government to become a vehicle for leftism. 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.

Finally, as you can see above, it calls for a ban on “assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.”
Once again, this was a preview of how they would operate—the Biden admin regularly used the specter of “domestic terror” as a pretext to push for crackdowns on gun rights.

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.”
Even the hard-left ACLU came out against it.
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 🧵
