Here’s your Early Warning for Tuesday, 01 February 2022.ADMIN NOTE: In yesterday’s DailySA, we reported on a document of extremist mobilization indicators published by the National Counterterrorism Center.

Key findings show that 23% of Americans say it is “definitely” or “probably” justified to ever engage in violent protests against the government. Of those justifying government violence, two-thirds say the federal government is the appropriate target. Thirty-five percent think their state government is the appropriate target. Twenty percent answered that another state government is a justified target, with 21% targeting local governments. The results found that the demographic most likely to support this behavior is young men on the far end of either political spectrum. (Analyst Comment: Academic polling data continues to support the federal government’s concern regarding domestic extremist activity. With violence seen as a justified tool along political lines, domestic violence from protests and riots is likely to be tied to election seasons. – D.F.)NEW CHINESE ANTI-SATELLITE CAPABILITY: China’s Shijian-21 space debris mitigation satellite docked with a defunct Chinese satellite and repositioned in a new geostationary orbit. This space operation demonstrated capabilities only previously exhibited by the United States. Reports from space researchers indicate Shijian-21 has repeatedly conducted rendezvous and proximity operations (RPO) with other objects in the geostationary orbit belt since its launch in October last year. Shijian-21 docked with the defunct Beidou-2 G2 navigation satellite and towed it above the belt of geostationary orbit some 36,000 kilometers over the equator. (AC: The capability to dock with orbiting satellites and reposition them or destroy them is seen as both a good and bad development. It is good to be able to clean up the orbit field by removing defunct satellites, but could be a bad thing that China now also has the capability to remove U.S. satellites from orbit without polluting the orbit field with debris from a kinetic anti-satellite weapon. This new capability poses a potential threat to commercial U.S. communications and navigation systems in daily use by ordinary Americans. – M.M.)
