| House Dem wants to freeze financial assets of domestic extremists, including some Jan. 6 rioters |
| 2022-10-04 |
| [FOX] Democratic Rep. Josh Gottheimer on Monday announced the introduction of new legislation that would freeze the financial assets of a range of potential terrorist threats, from those inspired by ISIS to some groups involved in the Jan. 6 riot on Capitol Hill. The Democrat from New Jersey described his bill, the Freezing Assets of Suspected Terrorists and Enemy Recruits Act, or the FASTER Act, as one that would allow authorities to "freeze the assets of ISIS-inspired lone-wolf terrorists or other domestic extremists that are arrested on U.S. soil." "We simply can’t run the risk of funds being utilized by an ISIS-inspired terrorist or domestic extremist to carry out another attack, whether that’s at Ground Zero, a shooting in Jersey City targeting the Jewish community, in temples, at schools..." Gottheimer said. Gottheimer spoke on the first day that Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the Oath Keepers, was standing trial for his role in what federal prosecutors say was attempted "armed rebellion" during the Jan. 6 protest. Gottheimer said Rhodes and others in that group are "domestic terrorists" who tried to "overthrow the government."

| #8 Start populating a list of BLM supporters The Epoch Times’ Andy Ngo has been collecting that data base since 2017 or so. |

| #6 Democratic Rep. Josh Gottheimer has been a Clinton insider since Bill was president. Is this his own idea or a favour he is doing for them? |

| #5 ^ the law is already on the books. It simply requires flushing DoJ out and getting lawyers who will apply the law. |

| #4 So If I may offer a quid pro quo? Using the Jan 6th Kangaroo Court arrest & trial process scheduling, that would be something like solitary confinement for 18+ months Any elected or appointed or government paid official suggesting, promoting or suspected of violating the US Constitution Bill Of Rights shall be arrested. Such arrested persons will be held without bail, and have their assets immediately frozen. They will not be allowed to hold or run for office during containment. Said assets shall NOT be released until a jury trial is held and IF and when said trial returns a verdict of innocent. Anyone misusing or politically applying this law to disrupt elections or legislation votes, shall be arrested and subject to US laws and sentencing regarding Treason. |

| #3 Another reason government controlled retirement accounts and 'digital currencies' are a bad idea. |

| #2 Can we freeze the assets of all the politicians who voted to add trillions to the national debt? |

| #1 In addition to job loss and financial hardship, can these 6 Jan people not also be sterilized? While some may be too old to reproduce following their release from D.C. political confinement, how can we take that chance? In fact, there should be a nationwide inoculation program which could render all MAGA people incapable of reproduction ? |
