Think Tanks
•7 days
133 sources in Think Tanks are amplifying 639 narrative items relating to the narrative that domestic terrorism will surpass international threats by 2025. This shift emphasizes the need for US policymakers to focus on internal security challenges, as the containment of Middle Eastern threats allows for a reevaluation of priorities in national defense strategies.
Reviewing a number of the most relevant narrative items indicates that the Center for Strategic & International Studies characterizes domestic terrorism in the U.S. as the greatest threat in 2025, positioning it above traditional international groups like Al Qaeda and ISIS. The language used is assertive, outlining a clear and urgent concern that resonates with policymakers and security professionals. Terms such as "greatest threat" are potent and emphasize the seriousness of the situation, potentially cultivating a sense of fear or urgency among the audience. While the report appears factual, the framing of domestic threats as surpassing those of weakened international groups carries an underlying bias that prioritizes national security concerns, arguably using a propaganda technique aimed at rallying support for enhanced domestic security measures. Compared to other discussions on terrorism that might highlight international collaborations or positive strides in global security, this coverage distinctly emphasizes a domestic focus, thereby contrasting significantly with narratives that might advocate for a more global perspective on safety and threats. Readers may find this portrayal both alarming and critical for understanding upcoming national security priorities.
The Think Tanks module tracks a large number of policy institutes, research organizations, and advocacy groups from a wide range of areas such as economics, social issues, military, and science and technology.
