Are Conservatives & Parents Security Threats?

Germany’s top security official says there are plans in place to assist the government in tracking the finances and communications of “right-wing extremists.” In addition to this, there are plans in development to form an “early recognition unit” to detect far-right and disinformation efforts.
At present, it is permitted in Germany to conduct surveillance of movements and parties that are political in nature that show indications of “inciting” violence and are “violence-oriented.”
One of the incredibly dangerous parts of this new policy is that the Ministry of Interior would be expanding the government’s current powers to permit investigations if there was even a potential threat indicated. At this point, anything could be investigated because something being a “potential” threat is so vague that it would be left up to the government to determine what indicators would constitute something preceding a threat.
Interior Minister Nancy Faeser says, “No one who donates to a right-wing extremist organization should be able to rely on remaining undiscovered,” adding that donations to right-wing “extremist” organizations share a connection with the government’s disinformation concerns. “German right-wing extremists and foreign autocrats have one thing in common: They want to stoke rage and divide, above all through disinformation.”
In addition to the expansion of the policy, Fraser will also be pushing for proceedings to be exponentially faster and that the new surveillance unit will begin “hopefully in a few months.”
Meanwhile, in Canada, there is a similar issue emerging around the crackdown on those with ideologies that stand in stark contrast to that of their government. Canada’s top intelligence agency has just admitted to monitoring the activities of activists and groups associated with the parental rights movement, and in particular, those who oppose gender ideology.
A document from the Integrated Terrorism Assessment Centre, which is responsible for preventing terrorist activities in Canada, lumped together the “Freedom Movement” with extremist groups like neo-Nazis and QAnon.
The report describes the groups they’re monitoring as “Anti-2SLGBTQl+ narratives remain a common theme in violent rhetoric espoused by white nationalists, neo-Nazis, the Freedom Movement, and networks such as Diagolon and QAnon.”
Despite the focus on monitoring such rhetoric, there was no mention in the report regarding the violence often faced by those protesting against gender ideology and just those opposed to it.
Several stories have come out of Canadians who have been attacked and intimidated for publicly taking a stand against gender ideology, as well as speaking in favor of parental rights. Two instances that went viral were of Chris Elston, also known as Billboard Chris and Josh Alexander, a teen who was confronted by radicalized trans activists.
And if you think the attack on parental rights is solely happening in Canada and Germany, think again.
In the United States, parents became cautious after the U.S. attorney general took note of a supposed “spike” in what he called harassment and intimidation directed towards public school officials during Biden’s first years in office. As a result, the FBI was instructed to watch out for parents expressing displeasure in school board meetings, as well as those who were calling for accountability.
The weaponization of the federal government against parents exercising their constitutional rights spooked many, and understandably so. But for others, it only strengthened their resolve.
.@PV_Schools voted last night to reverse a policy requiring students use the bathroom/locker room which matches their s*x.

Now boys who think they’re girls can hang out in the girl’s locker rooms.

During Biden’s time in office, his AG also decided to send a memo to the FBI directing it to coordinate with 14,000 school districts after the administration called upon the National School Boards Association to protect schools from the “imminent threat” of parents sending “threatening letters and cyberbullying” school officials.
Joe Biden’s attorney general wants the @FBI to go after parents for speaking out at school board meetings to protect kids from radical curriculum like critical race theory.

Biden’s disgusting socialist agenda must end. We won’t let him intimidate & silence parents.
If that wasn’t enough to send alarm bells ringing, the association went on to label parents standing up for their children as those committing “domestic terrorism.”
According to Representative Jim Jordan, “Parents have an undisputed right to direct the upbringing and education of their children. The Supreme Court has called this parental right, rooted in the Constitution, “perhaps the oldest of the fundamental liberty interests recognized by this Court.””
Why are nations so intent on monitoring and intimidating parents and those who seek to protect children like those in the conservative political sphere? What leverage do moms and dads have that governments don’t?
Answer: parents are raising the next generation within the walls of their homes and governments are realizing that their charade of indoctrination is over. The public is now understanding just how pervasive the gender cult is and aren’t just speaking out against it but are finding ways to protect children from being exposed to it. This is one of the predominant reasons there has been an incredible spike in homeschooling over the last five years!
A parent’s authority was given to them by God, that is why corrupt governments are seeking to strip it away. No one has the influence or sway like parents do in the lives of their children.
Governments can try to intimidate dads and moms all they want to, but backing down and yielding to intimidation isn’t the way of the Christian. But holding those in positions of authority to account? Well that most certainly is.
Thank you for your support.
