Might this be a threat against freedom of speech in my highlighting the blatant planning corruption over the Nation's Capital, Washington D.C.?
Such as my pointing out the potential link between the scuttling of JFK's B&O Route I-95 alongside Catholic University of America, with the weird 'waffling' between acceptable and outrageous planning deviations in the years following 11-22-63? - see my blog "A Trip Within the Beltway" regarding the scuttling of JFK's B&O North Central Freeway
Such as my pointing out the planning meddling with the blocking of the 1990s United States National Capital Planning Commission South Capital Mall, by the weirdly pushed through the D.C. City Council closed door mid-nite convening to change their votes in order to approve the Nationals Stadium- which had its April 17, 2008 opening mass by Pope Benedict? - see the October 2006 posts at this blog "Free Speech Beneath U.S. Homeland Security"
Or how about how the Food & Drug Administration, its predecessor Bureau of Chemistry entity at U.S.D.A., as well as undeservingly prestigious trade associations as the American Medical Association and the American Pharmaceutical Association, conspired to make cocaine into a problematic drug by banning it irrespective of actual matters of potency/abuse potential, mainly for the sake of protecting and establishing market expansion for Tobacco cigarettes? After all, Tobacco cigarette sales grew reletively slowly for the first two decades after the debut of the Bonsack cigarette mass production industrial machinery, from the early 1880s to just after 1906, when the USDA was irresponsibly empowered by supposedly anti-trust U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt to bring about a ban on Coca leaf circa 1907+. Coca was known as an excellent substitute for Tobacco, and infinitely more healthy. How many people would be pissed off about this protectionism and false implication of Tobacco as "safe" because it's vast growth was tolerated at the same time that Coca leaf, Opium, and even later Cannabis was criminalized?
What if the public was finally told of these stories? If enough of the public got mad enough to flock to Washington, D.C., would I be charged with domestic terrorism for daring spotlight such planning travesties?

DHS Issues National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Bulletin
WASHINGTON – Today, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas issued a National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Bulletin regarding the continued heightened threat environment across the United States. This is the fifth NTAS Bulletin issued by the Department of Homeland Security since January 2021 and it replaces the current Bulletin that was set to expire tomorrow.
“DHS remains committed to proactively sharing timely information and intelligence about the evolving threat environment with the American public,” said Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas. “We also remain committed to working with our partners across every level of government and in the private sector to prevent all forms of terrorism and targeted violence, and to support law enforcement efforts to keep our communities safe. This NTAS Bulletin outlines the key factors that have increased the volatility, unpredictability, and complexity of the current threat environment, and highlights resources for individuals and communities to stay safe.”
The United States remains in a heightened threat environment fueled by several factors, including an online environment filled with false or misleading narratives and conspiracy theories, and other forms of mis- dis- and mal-information (MDM) introduced and/or amplified by foreign and domestic threat actors. These threat actors seek to exacerbate societal friction to sow discord and undermine public trust in government institutions to encourage unrest, which could potentially inspire acts of violence. Mass casualty attacks and other acts of targeted violence conducted by lone offenders and small groups acting in furtherance of ideological beliefs and/or personal grievances pose an ongoing threat to the nation.
While the conditions underlying the heightened threat landscape have not significantly changed over the last year, the convergence of the following factors has increased the volatility, unpredictability, and complexity of the threat environment: (1) the proliferation of false or misleading narratives, which sow discord or undermine public trust in U.S. government institutions; (2) continued calls for violence directed at U.S. critical infrastructure; soft targets and mass gatherings; faith-based institutions, such as churches, synagogues, and mosques; institutions of higher education; racial and religious minorities; government facilities and personnel, including law enforcement and the military; the media; and perceived ideological opponents; and (3) calls by foreign terrorist organizations for attacks on the United States based on recent events.
