Federal officials to monitor Washington anti-vaccine-mandate rally for potential violence and extremist activity

Federal law enforcement in Washington, D.C., has been closely monitoring social media for signs of potential violence and extremist activity ahead of a widely publicized demonstration against vaccine mandates this weekend, according to documents obtained by Yahoo News.

As of Friday, none of the reports obtained by Yahoo News concerning the event have cited evidence of specific or credible threats linked to it. However, as one recent assessment from the U.S. Capitol Police Intelligence and Interagency Coordination Division states, “Due to the heightened divisive atmosphere surrounding COVID-19 mandates and vaccinations, altercations or interpersonal violence cannot be ruled out.

While the report states that “IICD and our intelligence partners have not identified any expressed active or credible threats of violence to the upcoming event or any intentions for participants or malicious actors to travel to U.S. Capitol Grounds,” it emphasized that “many threat actors have migrated communications to encrypted methods, making it difficult for law enforcement to detect and interrupt attack planning.

The Defeat the Mandates march is not the only potentially volatile high-profile event happening in Washington this weekend. On Friday, tens of thousands of anti-abortion advocates were expected to descend on the National Mall for the 49th annual March for Life. According to the Jan. 20 DHS report, users discussing the Jan. 23 Defeat the Mandates march said they planned to attend because they “hate the biomedical security state”, and “we must stand up to these demonic tyrants” and complained that they could not find “any true patriots that’ll go to D.C. with me this weekend. Everyone is scared of going to the gulag.”

In an emailed statement to Yahoo News, Brianna Burch, a public affairs specialist with the Metropolitan Police Department, confirmed that “MPD members will have a visible presence around the city during this time.” In a separate statement provided to Yahoo News, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whose well-funded anti-vaccine nonprofit is one of the sponsors of Sunday’s march, went even further, suggesting that any violence stemming from Sunday’s rally may be deliberately incited by the government.

Keep this in mind the next time a POTUS seeks to establish qualifications for federal employment. SCOTUS did make it clear that where federal funds go so does the power of the mandate and the federal government, ie mandate for healthcare workers. I expect it to hold despite ruling.

Texas Judge Blocks Enforcement Of Federal Employee Vaccine Mandate NationwideA federal judge in Texas has blocked the Biden administration from enforcing a vaccine mandate for federal employees. That's a smart choice considering most Texans own guns. When anything new tries to force an experimental injection on another person I view that a attempted murder. Especially when mRNA technology is not meant for humans. COME ON DARWINISM!!! If the employees work for the federal government, TX has no business meddling. I hate this state for keeping Covid going with these BS lawsuits. Thank God my family and I are vaxxed bc my dgt, 2 granddaughters, and I all had breakthrough cases over the past week.
