**UPDATE**

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) states in its September 9, 2026, shutdown contingency plan that its pandemic preparedness agency will suspend Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) execution and congressionally mandated preparedness evaluations while continuing to negotiate, award, and manage biodefense contracts.

They Built a Machine to Treat You as a Terrorist Threat. The Justice Department Just Published the Blueprints.

Five years ago I warned that the government was preparing to treat people who questioned COVID policy as a domestic-terror problem. The receipts are in.

Five years ago I warned that the government was preparing to treat people who questioned COVID policy as a domestic-terror problem. A 273-page DOJ report, released October 5, 2026, now shows exactly how it was done, who was targeted, and why it should matter to every reader of this newsletter.

On August 13, 2021, the Department of Homeland Security issued a terrorism bulletin that listed “grievances over public health safety measures and perceived government restrictions” among the drivers of domestic terrorism, and promised to “identify and evaluate” online activity “associated with the spread of disinformation, conspiracy theories, and false narratives.”

The next day I published a piece on GreenMedInfo saying plainly what the bulletin implied: that people who questioned, resisted, or disobeyed COVID restrictions, or who questioned the vaccines, were being moved into the category of potential domestic terrorists. I wrote that the people being described this way were mostly mothers and fathers, many with vaccine-injured children, who were questioning the medical system for the first time in their lives.

I was told that was paranoid. And that I was a “super-spreader” of dangerous misinformation.

On October 5, 2026, the Department of Justice released a report by its Weaponization Working Group, with 250 pages of internal emails attached, showing what happened in the ten weeks after that bulletin. I have reviewed all 273 pages. This is what they say, in plain language, and what it means for you.

The machine is not partisan and it is not gone. Tip portals, threat tags, private “NGO reporting” contracts, and counter-misinformation offices are infrastructure. They outlive the administration that built them. The only reason we can read these emails is that one administration chose to release documents about the previous one. The next one can choose otherwise. (See link for chronology as well as steps that need to be taken)

**Comment**

Ji says the following steps are crucial so history doesn’t repeat itself:

  • Extend the file review and apology process to ANYONE whose name is on the ‘naughty’ list.
  • Release the communications.
  • Make it illegal to rebuild. The Senate Commerce Committee has already advanced S. 4749, the JAWBONE Act, which would bar federal officials from coercing platforms to suppress lawful speech. Call your senators and ask them to pass it. Then ask your representative for a House companion. Restore the First, has scripts and a lookup tool.
  • Join Stand For Health freedom and take action with their advocacy tools. And share the platform widely with those you know who are.
  • Pre-order Ji’s upcoming investigative book, Shadow Empire: The Epstein Files, to educate yourself on how the systems of power that operate with impunity expose themselves in the 3.5 million document release from Jan. of this year. Ji recently reported on Epstein’s plan to create a “Mother’s Army” to target their children for vaccination directly. The truth must get out.
