EP-098 Extremism or Opposition
MVE – Militia Violent Extremism: This term seems official, and it seems concerning. But it’s the focus of the definitions that are concerning, and what or who is left out. The document itself points to many instances of soft language implying it is a thrown-together hodgepodge of credible concerns of note and political opposition to the current administration.
That’s a tough one to swallow considering what we have seen our government perform in our name in the past, and how the current administration continues to perverse government action with political perspectives.
Let’s dive in and take a look at the leaked FBI documents defining MVE, and where we are as citizens asserting our rights. Project Veritas published the leaked documents.

The following symbols are used by Ani-Government or Anti-Authority Violent Extremists, specifically Militia Violent Extremists (MVE). MVE symbols are often found on propaganda, online platforms, memes, merchandise, group logos, flags, tattoos, uniforms, etc. Widespread use of symbols and quotes from American history, especially the Revolutionary war, exists within MVE networks. Historic and contemporary military themes are common for MVE symbols. The use or sharing of these symbols alone should not independently be considered evidence of MVE presence or affiliation or serve as an indicator of illegal activity, as many individuals use these symbols for their original, historic meaning, or other non-violent purposes.
