According to the unpublished bulletin, the Fema funds may not necessarily be torn from the states. Rather, the recipients of current and future grants must reconstruct activities that are currently classified as revolted to domestic violent extremism, adapting projects in new national priority areas outlined by the Fema. These new priorities, which were announced last weekI include the protection of soft objectives such as electoral sites, IT security, electoral security (“including the verification that the workers of the survey are US citizens”) and “by supporting the response and application of the crisis of borders”.
The bulletin lists some examples of activities that can continue to be financed if they are reworked to remove elements of violent extremism for extremism, including “transforming a table exercise that previously focused on DVE threats in one that faces a wider range of dangers, including bad weather, active shooting accidents or cyberattacks”. The activities that cannot be “completely proposed”, says the bulletin, must be “interrupted”.
A separate Fema document obtained by Wired shows that the end of the financing flows for the work of domestic violent extremism in the Fema has arrived in meetings with ORD. This document refers to a briefing of May 16 with Omb and lists a series of follow-up questions that the fema staff was working to face until mid-July.
“How we can assure us that no more money is spent on domestic violence [sic] extremism, “he asks for a projectile point.” Legally, how do we do it? “
The explanation provided by the staff Fema suggested to modify the open -elaboration packages to remove the minimum expenditure requirement for the fight against violent domestic extremism and to “notify the recipients that any project previously approved to combat domestic violent extremism must be reprogrammed for a different [national priority area]. “The document recognizes that” the strategy involves a legal risk because it is changing the terms of an open prize “. He says that Fema’s staff was working on an information bulletin to” implement “change.
“We will update Ora when this was made,” says the reminder.
