When Protest Stops Being Protest: Inside NSPM-7

The people who built the domestic terror apparatus are suddenly terrified it's being used. Professor Nick Giordano exposes the receipts they don't want you to see. When protest stops being protest and turns into intimidation, coercion, and violence, the government's response exposes a dangerous line between law enforcement and ideological control.

This episode of The P.A.S. Report Podcast examines NSPM-7 and the National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism through a critical lens, separating lawful dissent and peaceful protest from the extremism now playing out in cities like Minneapolis. It explains how bureaucratic power expanded under the banner of public safety, why political elites are suddenly alarmed, and how pre-crime logic threatens constitutional liberties regardless of who holds office.

What You'll Learn

• The clear legal and moral difference between peaceful protest and political extremism
• How NSPM-7 redefined dissent, association, and ideology as threat indicators
• Why intimidation, harassment, and obstruction cross the line from protest into extremism
• How Operation Arctic Frost and Prohibited Access files reveal institutional concealment and abuse
• Why dismantling domestic terrorism frameworks matters more than partisan outcomes

This episode confronts selective outrage, exposes constitutional rot, and explains why a free society must protect lawful protest while rejecting extremism enforced through mobs or bureaucratic power.
