The Biden administration's Strategic Implementation Plan for Countering Domestic Terrorism, mirrors a Nazi-era decree, the Reichstag Fire Decree, to suppress political opposition in the U.S. The author, John Leake, argues that the Biden administration used this plan to subvert the U.S. Constitution and establish a one-party state, drawing a historical parallel to the actions of the Nazi Party following the Reichstag fire in 1933.
John Leake asserts that the Biden administration's plan to counter domestic terrorism was a tool to suppress political dissent, particularly targeting conservatives or those opposing Democratic policies. He compares this to the Reichstag Fire Decree issued by the Nazi regime in 1933, which suspended civil liberties and allowed the state to arrest and suppress political opponents under the guise of protecting national security.
Leake references the Reichstag Fire Decree (formally the Verordnung des Reichspräsidenten zum Schutz von Volk und Staat, or "Decree of the Reich President for the Protection of People and State"), enacted after the Reichstag fire on February 27, 1933. The fire was blamed on communists, and the decree enabled the Nazi regime to suspend habeas corpus, freedom of speech, press, and assembly, leading to the arrest of political opponents, primarily communists and socialists. Leake claims this decree was used to label the National Socialist Party's enemies as "dangerous" and suppress them, consolidating Nazi power.
Leake argues that the Biden administration's plan similarly labels political opponents—specifically conservatives or Trump supporters—as "domestic terrorists." He suggests that Democrats and mainstream media have historically downplayed their own awareness of guilt while accusing others of being threats, a tactic he sees as mirrored in the current political climate. By invoking the term "dangerous," Leake implies the administration was using the same justification as the Nazis to target and silence opposition, potentially eroding constitutional protections.
Leake highlights what he perceives as hypocrisy: Democrats, he claims, express guilt over their own actions but project this onto others, such as Trump supporters, whom they label as threats. He frames this as an arrogant and emotionally charged strategy to maintain power.
Leake's comparison to the Reichstag Fire Decree serves as a cautionary tale. History shows that governments can exploit crises to justify authoritarian measures. The Reichstag fire, whether orchestrated or opportunistic, allowed the Nazis to dismantle democratic institutions rapidly. Leake's argument defends the idea that citizens should be vigilant when governments use broad terms like "domestic terrorism" to target specific groups, as this could lead to the erosion of civil liberties, much like in 1930s Germany. For example, the suspension of habeas corpus in the Reichstag Fire Decree parallels modern concerns about surveillance, indefinite detention, or the misuse of anti-terrorism laws against political activists.
The Biden administration's Strategic Implementation Plan for Countering Domestic Terrorism (released in June 2021 by the National Security Council) aimed to address threats like supposed White supremacist violence and anti-government extremism, particularly after events like the January 6th Capitol peaceful protests. However, Leake defends the concern that such a plan could be weaponised. The term "domestic terrorism" is broad and subjective, and without clear, transparent criteria, it risks being applied to non-violent political dissenters. For instance, past U.S. government actions—like the surveillance of civil rights leaders under COINTELPRO—lend credence to fears of overreach. Leake's perspective defends the need for scepticism toward government intentions, especially when constitutional rights like free speech or assembly might be at stake.
Leake's point about Democrats and the media labelling conservatives as "dangerous" resonates with a broader critique of political polarisation. In recent years, both sides of the U.S. political spectrum have accused each other of extremism. Leake defends the view that this rhetoric can dehumanise opponents and justify extreme measures against them. For example, if Trump supporters are consistently framed as threats to democracy, policies targeting them might gain public support, even if those policies infringe on rights. Leake's argument aligns with a defence of fair treatment under the law, regardless of political affiliation.
Leake's mention of Democrats expressing guilt but denying it, reflects a psychological critique: projection and denial as political tactics. This defends the idea that political actors might use moral superiority to mask their own flaws, a phenomenon observed in many ideological conflicts. By framing conservatives as the "dangerous" other, the administration might deflect scrutiny from its own policies or failures, a tactic Leake suggests mirrors the Nazis' scapegoating of communists.

"Declassified document reveals how Biden administration aspired to overthrow the Constitution and erect a one-party state.
I used to think that when prominent Democrats and their friends in the mainstream media talked about being in danger of the Trump administration coming after them, they were just being hysterical. Now it seems to me they were expressing their awareness that—viewed in terms of traditional constitutional norms—a case could indeed be made for their arrest for the crime of subverting the U.S. Constitution.
Guilty people often say things expressive of their awareness of their guilt, even though they explicitly deny their guilt. This is especially true of arrogant and emotionally dysregulated people.
This morning I thought about this as I reviewed the just declassified (by Tulsi Gabbard) Biden administration's "STRATEGIC IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR COUNTERING DOMESTIC TERRORISM."
The document immediately reminded me of the Nazi Reichstag Fire Decree (German: Reichstagsbrandverordnung) — the colloquial name of the Decree of the Reich President for the Protection of People and State (German: Verordnung des Reichspräsidenten zum Schutz von Volk und Staat). This decree was issued by German President Paul von Hindenburg on the advice of Chancellor Adolf Hitler on February 28, 1933 in response to the Reichstag fire.
The decree was used as the legal basis for imprisoning anyone considered to be opponents of the National Socialist Party, and to suppress publications deemed "dangerous" by the Party. Many historian have long regarded the decree as a key legislative instrument for establishing a one-party Nazi state in Germany.
The "Strategic Implementation Plan" is related to the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot—an event that became the Biden administration's key instrument for suppressing dissent, just as the Reichstag Fire was the key event used by the Nazi Party for suppressing dissent.
Nazi propagandists framed the Reichstag Fire of February 27, 1933 as the opening salvo of a widespread communist revolt, just as the Biden administration framed the Capitol riot as expressive of a widespread domestic terror movement that threatened the American Republic.
An unemployed Dutch bricklayer named Marinus van der Lubbe—a young man who had expressed communist sympathies—was arrested for lighting the Reichstag Fire and executed. Many at the time (especially among the German Left) suspected he had been manipulated by Nazi agents to stage a false flag attack.
Indications that undercover U.S. federal agents were present at the Capitol riot, acting as agents-provocateurs, raise the suspicion that the riot at least partly a false flag attack.
In President Biden's September 1, 2022 prime time speech in Philadelphia, he spoke about grave and insidious threats to democracy, which, he claimed, were posed by former President Donald J. Trump and his "MAGA forces." As if to underscore the creepy, ideological tone of the speech, it was backlit in scarlet.
This reminded me of the eery illumination of Nazi flags around the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin on the night of Hitler's 50th birthday (April 20, 1939).
I sometimes wonder if whoever was running the Biden administration conducted an experiment to determine just how brainwashed and blind Democrat Party followers had become.
The key question of the experiment was: At what point do our dummy followers recognize that we are erecting a one-party state using many of the same methods of psychological manipulation used by Nazi propagandists?"
