Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has declassified explosive internal documents from the Biden administration, exposing a sweeping plan to suppress gun rights and monitor online speech under the banner of fighting “domestic terrorism.”
The strategy, formally titled the “Strategic Implementation Plan for Countering Domestic Terrorism,” reveals how federal agencies coordinated across departments to target so-called “long-term contributors” to domestic extremism—including private gun ownership, social media content, and opposition to government overreach.
“This is Biden’s secret plan to eliminate the Second Amendment in the name of ‘counterterrorism,’” warned Gun Owners of America in response to the documents. The plan includes aggressive action against “ghost guns,” so-called “assault weapons,” and high-capacity magazines.
Biden’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives had already begun cracking down on untraceable firearms. The newly released strategy confirms that such actions were a central pillar of Biden’s broader domestic counterterror agenda.
The document also shows how the administration aimed to weaponize hate crime legislation, particularly the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act, to push “bias training” for police and expand federal tracking of alleged xenophobia. According to the plan, even “perceived government overreach” was considered a trigger for classifying Americans as potential threats.
Gabbard didn’t hold back. She posted the documents online with a promise: “As promised, I have declassified the Biden Administration’s Strategic Implementation Plan for Countering Domestic Terrorism.”
One of the more alarming sections reveals how multiple agencies—including the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Education, and USAID—were ordered to coordinate on “digital literacy” efforts. These programs were supposedly meant to counter domestic terrorist recruitment and fight “online disinformation,” but critics see them as censorship disguised as education.
USAID, now under the State Department, has been the subject of ongoing scrutiny for its alleged overlap with CIA operations abroad. The Trump administration is actively seeking to cut its funding, calling the agency a tool of the Deep State.
The National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) also plays a key role in Biden’s domestic crackdown. Although originally designed to track foreign threats, the NCTC has expanded its focus to American citizens and now helps manage a database of “domestic extremists.”
These efforts were launched under Biden’s 2021 “National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism,” released just months after January 6. That document targeted “Anti-Government or Anti-Authority Violent Extremists,” or AGAAVEs, and claimed such individuals pose a growing threat.
FBI whistleblowers have since confirmed that these vague definitions were used to justify surveillance of Americans with views that challenge federal authority. Gabbard’s latest release appears to confirm those fears.
As Biden’s intelligence community grew increasingly focused on so-called online radicalization, the administration even partnered with the United Nations through its Global Counter-Terrorism Coordination Compact. That global reach has left conservatives warning that American sovereignty is at risk.
Gabbard’s move is part of a broader push for accountability. Earlier this month, she launched the Director’s Initiatives Group (DIG) to tackle politicization within the intelligence community and promote transparency.
The reaction has been swift. Americans concerned about their freedoms are sounding the alarm. What Biden’s handlers called “counterterrorism” is now looking a lot more like a roadmap for silencing dissent—and Tulsi Gabbard just blew it wide open.
