DHS Sends Memo Warning Police About US Trucker Protest Hours After Issuing Terrorism Threat Focused On ‘Misinformation’

DHS (Department of Homeland Security) sent a memorandum to law enforcement partners, warning of possible American truck drivers protesting vaccine mandates in the United States.

Documents first obtained by Yahoo News note the agency “has received reports of truck drivers planning to potentially block roads in major metropolitan cities in the United States in protest of, among other things, vaccine mandates for truck drivers.”

The target date is is Super Bowl Sunday – a very American counterpart to the Canadian ‘Freedom Convoy.’

A source for the department told the outlet the trucker convoy “is absolutely a real concern.”

“They are definitely going to follow the Canadian model and shut down Washington,” the official said.

The Canadian ‘Freedom Convoy’ has been a massive and peaceful demonstration against the US-Canada cross-border vaccine mandate.

US Trucker Protest

The Hill obtained a memo that further details the time frame in which a convoy of US truckers could occur.

“The convoy will potentially begin in California early as mid-February, potentially impacting the Super Bowl scheduled for 13 February and the State of the Union address scheduled for 1 March,” they inform their law enforcement partners.

The DHS warning notes that the truck protest is “purely aspirational” as it is only in the discussion phase online but “this could change quickly.”

According to The Hill the memo states that protests are not planning to provoke violence.

Still, they fret that “the convoy could severely disrupt transportation, federal government, and law enforcement operations through gridlock and potential counterprotests.”

Because mandates themselves haven’t disrupted the transportation industry and law enforcement, leading to mass termination of employees.

DHS Issues Terror Threat on ‘Misinformation’

Coincidental in its timing but perhaps emblematic of the DHS’s misguided focus currently, the memo warning about a trucker protest in the United States comes the same week the agency issued a new terrorism threat summary report focusing on the spread of “misinformation.”

The “Summary of Terrorism Threat to the U.S. Homeland” bulletin, published on Monday, indicates the United States is in a “heightened threat environment,” in particular against ‘false narratives’ about COVID.

They also discuss vaccine mandates in it.

“COVID-19 mitigation measures — particularly COVID-19 vaccine and mask mandates — have been used by domestic violent extremists to justify violence since 2020,” they write.

Are there any mass incidents of violence involving vaccine or mask mandates. A report by the Associated Press last August cites a few minor but unfortunate incidents in order to suggest that violent protests are increasing.

Surprisingly, the AP report focuses solely on parents who object to vaccine or mask mandates.

You may remember that in order to produce a controversial correspondence comparing domestic terrorists to concerned parents, the Department of Justice worked with the National School Boards Association.

That letter requested an investigation into whether or not confrontations from outraged parents regarding mask mandates, among other things, amounted to a violation of the Patriot Act.

The DHS has just released the latest document.

First, they’ve planted the seed that any future trucker convoy in the United States will be motivated by ‘misinformation’ on COVID and vaccine mandates.

Second, they lump said ‘misinformation’ into a group involved in a warning about new terrorism threats.

And now, they tip off police to be on the lookout for this ‘misinformed’ group of truckers trying to sow discord about the federal government.

DHS identified the enemy and truckers are the ones who fight for their freedom, lives and pursuit of happiness.

The DHS official tells Yahoo News that the agency and a variety of U.S. law enforcement agencies were conducting calls and planning sessions to “figure out what to do” if Washington, D.C. is shut down, something they call “a real possibility.”

Everyone noticed when truckers were stopped by the federal government. Shelves were stripped and protestors flocked to Ottawa in droves.

Would anyone notice if the federal government was shut down?
