If we are to believe the FBI, apparently nearly two million Americans are “terrorists”.
To put it another way, in an average NFL crowd, the FBI would have us believe that there’s a good 400 terrorists.
Back in July, cybersecurity researcher Bob Diachenko found what seemed to be a leaked FBI watchlist naming the personal details of close to 2 million suspected terrorists. Diachenko quickly filed a report to the Department of Homeland Security, hoping the agency would issue some sort of patch to keep this data from leaking into the wrong hands, which it did — roughly three weeks later.
According to Diachenko, the dataset came from the Terrorist Screening Centre (TSC), an FBI-led federal collective responsible for maintaining the thousands of records in the government’s no-fly list — a subset of the FBI’s much, much larger terrorist watchlist. The TSC includes “select international partners,” according to the FBI. Diachenko says the IP address linked to the leaked database was based in Bahrain.
In a nutshell, the no-fly list is exactly what it sounds like: a list of people who are branded by the federal government as potential terrorist threats and barred from boarding any planes heading into, out of, or within the U.S. as a result.
This appears to be the list — or a portion of the list — that Diachenko stumbled onto in his initial research. While he couldn’t say for sure whether the entire list was exposed in the leak, he was able to find about 1.9 million records detailing individuals’ no-fly statuses, full names, citizenship, genders, passport numbers, and more.
Undoubtedly, a few of the names in that sea of records are going to belong to innocent people. The no-fly list is notorious for branding innocent individuals as potential threats to national security based on faulty data, and then making it near-impossible for them to get their names off. This past April, a Michigan man partnered with the American Civil Liberties Union to sue FBI Director Christopher Wray after the agency falsely accused him of being a Hezbollah agent and slapped him with the “no-fly” label.

Given that there are just 3.5 million Muslims in the US, it seems extremely far-fetched to imagine that nearly two-thirds of them are FBI-designated terrorists. As for BLM and Antifa, US law enforcement won’t even designate the extremists who mounted hundreds of deadly riots in just a few months, burned dozens of cities, including buildings in Washington’s Capitol, and literally call for the downfall of America as “terrorists”.
But the FBI has dedicated enormous resources to hunting down, not just the handful of agitators, but the thousands of moms and dads who were literally ushered into the Capitol on January 6. These ordinary Americans, waving their little American flags, are, we are told, “terrorists” and “insurgents”. Already, more than 500 have arrested. Many are being kept incommunicado in solitary confinement in government prisons. Some have been beaten and tortured.
The Biden administration and the Deep State are so paranoid that they’re creating a new secret police and confiscating Lego sets.
So, who wants to take bets on how many of the FBI’s Two Million Most Wanted are ordinary Americans who have the temerity to be conservatives? Oops, I mean, “far-right extremists”.
