Tesla ‘Terrorism’ Intel Reports Stoke Contagion

 

By Ken Klippenstein

Tesla terrorism has dominated news lately, with Trump and company tossing around the “terrorist” label as casually as if 9/11 happened last month. Though law enforcement authorities like the FBI and Homeland Security are reluctant to echo the White House’s rhetoric, according to numerous internal threat assessments I’ve been given, they do raise a specter of civil breakdown that could lead to a domestic crackdown.

The warnings, prepared to inform police and corporate law enforcement “partners,” were obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by transparency nonprofit Property of the People. Several assessments were prepared by intelligence “fusion centers” created in response to 9/11 at the state level to enhance intelligence sharing.

Individually, the reports say little that isn’t already in the news or on social media; but taken as a whole, they depict a government hysteria about the attacks on Tesla, described less like petty crime than some kind of violent insurgency. The entire alerting process, in fact, feels like a government-fueled contagion, a set of reports that create the vague impression of an assault on the American way of life.

What is most glaring about the reports in the immediate sense is that President Trump’s March 21 declaration that violence against Tesla is “terrorism” isn’t being echoed by law enforcement or the national intelligence community. Not yet.
