Given that scientists have yet to identify Covid's source, our intelligence agencies should be investigating whether the Covid catastrophe began with human hands in a lab because if so, it can be weaponized by foreign actors seeking to harm American interests. But that's not what "the Interagency" is investigating. Instead, they are treating Americans who resist the government-approved narratives about Covid-19 as the true national-security threat.

On February 7, the Department of Homeland Security issued a National Terrorism Advisory System bulletin that sounds more like a plot from a dystopian sci-fi novel than a sober assessment of America's enemies and their capabilities. The bulletin begins by stating, "The United States remains in a heightened threat environment fueled by several factors, including an online environment filled with false or misleading narratives and conspiracy theories, and other forms of mis- dis- and mal-information (MDM)." Note that the DHS is not here talking about speech actually coordinating or inciting violent terrorist actions. Such conduct is clearly criminal and is discussed elsewhere in the bulletin. Rather, the DHS makes clear that purely lawful speech and opinion is now the number one contributor to the current threat environment and cites "misleading narratives" regarding Covid-19 as a leading example of this terroristic threat.
