Ex-intel chiefs called Biden 'ineffective messenger' to convince public Trump supporters are threats

The Homeland Intelligence Experts Group convened by the Department of Homeland Security, disbanded under a settlement with America First Legal, called President Biden an "ineffective messenger" for the group's surreptitious campaign to convince the public that supporters of former President Trump are the bulk of "domestic violent extremists."

The disclosure was made in AFL's latest dribbling out of screenshots of the internal meeting notes from the group, which included two Obama administration proponents of the Trump-Russia collusion hoax, CIA Director John Brennan and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.

Previous disclosures in the #DeepStateDiaries series showed the group proposed a reboot of September 11, 2001-style messaging against domestic wrongthink, called the "religious" and members of the military comparable threats as Trump supporters, and brainstormed how to convince parents and teachers to report students to the feds as potential extremists as a matter of "public health."

Members also referred to a Biden White House "classified implementation plan" against domestic wrongthink.

The September 2023 meeting notes, which redact the names of each speaker, record discussion of who might be the "right messengers" for the group's narrative. "This has to come from the White House" to "restore faith in the government," one participant said. "Each agency cannot defend itself" against outside criticism."

That's probably not Joe Biden, though, another participant said, "particularly with who his opponent is."

A group member, whom AFL speculated was "likely from DHS" because the speaker referred to Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas as "S1," said "the other guy has been forceful," referring to Donald Trump. The group should find messengers from "both sides of the political aisle" who "do not capitalize ... yet" on the "appetite to politicize everything."

The group discussed copying the private sector's approach to "crisis communications" by deploying "influencers," but that DHS should outsource it to private groups.

Suggest groups include the National Sheriffs Association, state and local leaders and even the popular "All In" podcast hosted by venture capitalists because "[a]ll Republican candidates" have appeared on that show.
