Attorney General Pam Bondi is ordering the FBI to “compile a list of groups or entities engaging in acts that may constitute domestic terrorism,” according to a Justice Department memo published here exclusively.
The target is those expressing “opposition to law and immigration enforcement; extreme views in favor of mass migration and open borders; adherence to radical gender ideology,” as well as “anti-Americanism,” “anti-capitalism,” and “anti-Christianity.”
Bondi Memo On Countering Domestic Terrorism And Organized Political Violence

That language echoes the so-called indicators of terrorism identified by President Trump’s directive National Security Presidential Memorandum-7, or NSPM-7, which the memo says it’s intended to implement. Where NSPM-7 was a declaration of war on just about anyone who isn’t MAGA, this is the war plan for how the government will wage it on a tactical level.
In addition to compiling a list of undesirables, Bondi directs the FBI to enhance the capabilities (and publicity) of its tipline in order to more aggressively solicit tips from the American public on, well, other Americans. To that end, Bondi also directs the FBI to establish “a cash reward system” for information leading to identification and arrest of leadership figures within these purported domestic terrorist organizations. (The memo later instructs the FBI to “establish cooperators to provide information and eventually testify against other members” of the groups.)
The payouts don’t end there. Justice Department grants are now to prioritize funding to programs for state and local law enforcement to go after domestic terrorism.
In a section titled “Defining the domestic terrorism threat,” the memo cites “extreme viewpoints on immigration, radical gender ideology, and anti-American sentiment” — indicators that federal law enforcement are instructed to refer to FBI Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs). Those JTTFs are then instructed to “use all available investigative tools” in order to “map the full network of culpable actors involved” in both “inside and outside the United States.”
The memo also directs the FBI and JTTFs to retroactively investigate incidents going back five years, authorizing the JTTFs in particular to use everything at their disposal to do so.
“Upon receipt of these referrals, the JTTFs shall use all available investigative tools, consistent with law enforcement internal policies and statutory obligations, to map the full network of culpable actors involved in the referred conduct inside and outside the United States,” the memo says.
For months, major media outlets have largely blown off the story of NSPM-7, thinking it was all just Trump bluster and too crazy to be serious. But a memo like this one shows you that the administration is absolutely taking this seriously — even if the media are not — and is actively working to operationalize NSPM-7.
NSPM-7 was signed in September largely in response to the murder of Charlie Kirk, which was a 9/11-type event for the Trump administration, as I’ve reported. (Kirk’s assassination is referenced explicitly in the Justice Department memo.) As anyone who lived through 9/11 can remember, the government doesn’t always think rationally in moments like those, to say the least. And so here we are, with a new War on Terrorism — only this time, millions of Americans like you and I could be the target.
Thinking bad thoughts about Israel’s genocide in Gaza can be very problematic in these days.
“the murder of Charlie Kirk, which was a 9/11-type event for the Trump administration”
It was a 9/11-type event not only in its framing in order quickly pass laws to crack down on perceived domestic foes (i.e. Shock Doctrine), but also as a deep-state cover-up of how it actually went down since the facts would not support the framing narrative.
The whole FBI narrative that the Kirk shooter used a 30-06 when the bullet did not produce an exit wound is utter nonsense. For those without fire-arm experience, there are plenty of videos demonstrating what a 30-06 will do – including penetrating 3/8 inch of steel. Had a 30-06 been used, the entire back of his neck would have been blown away. Suppression of any dissenting opinions about the FBI narrative is obvious with any search engine. Once again the MSM dust off the old canard than any questioning of the government narrative is a “conspiracy theory”, and therefore perpetrated by some crazy nut. What the public needs to do is replace “conspiracy theory” in those articles with “business plan”. Quite often, with this simple replacement, it will all make sense. Furthermore, it is interesting that Secretary Bessent suggested that the investigation should follow the money (see Kit’s link to his other article). Exactly. So who benefited? Apparently Turning Point since donations shot up after the assassination. And if you believe Candace Owens, Turning Point was going to lose Zionist funding with Kirk’s change of heart on Gaza. Both Turning Point and Israel had motive, but that scenario would not help the government narrative that motivated passage of NSPM-7. So any FBI investigation will avoid looking for any connections between the Turning Point security team, which quickly tore down the crime scene, and Israel — not to mention that weird Netanyahu claim that Israel didn’t do it right after the shooting.
