FBI: massive rise in domestic terrorists under con artist regime

[someoneyouknow]

(CNN) The FBI has seen a significant rise in the number of white supremacist domestic terrorism cases in recent months, a senior FBI counterterrorism official said Thursday.
. . .
The domestic terror cases generally include suspects involved in violence related to anti-government views, racial or religious bias, environmental extremism and abortion-related views.
. . .
In 2017, there were about 150 arrests on charges the FBI classifies as domestic terror, and about 120 in 2018. The official said the FBI is on course to match or exceed those numbers this fiscal year.

This wouldn't have anything to do with the con artist defunding a program, a program which was working, which worked to interdict people who might become white supremacists, would it? After all, there are good people on both sides.

Reuters reported at the time that the White House was considering retooling the program to focus more on radical Islamic extremism than on white supremacist groups. Trump also proposed entirely eliminating the program in his 2018 budget request.​

So you are saying that Antifa and MS13 that the leftist Democrats use to attack citizens are OK and not terrorist? That not allowing free speech on college campus or anywhere is not terrorist behavior of the leftist Democrats. That people like Ms. Waters and Obama who cry out for violence is OK. That censored news is OK?

If you are going after people who violate the law of the land then go after all who do so. Those who stuff ballot boxes, who take bribes and kick backs like Bidden and Clinton from foreign governments and sell material for arms and give tax payer money to dictators to use for the attacks on their neighbors should be included in your list.

Those like Warren and Omar who are racists and those like Cortez and Nancy who are dumb as rocks and lie and do all they can to destroy the Constitution are not terrorists then you really to step back and take your head out of that dark place and look around.

I'm with you if you agree that all criminals in the government, media, and other illegals on the streets should face their day in court and pay for their crimes.

Any politician who doesn't put the citizens of this country first and it protection should be run out of office.

On Tuesday night, Fox News host Tucker Carlson claimed that white supremacy “is a hoax…a conspiracy theory used to divide the country and keep a hold on power.”
As the country struggles to make sense of two mass shootings that claimed 31 lives—one in Dayton, Ohio, and another in El Paso, Texas—at least one thing’s for certain: white supremacy is no hoax.

Carlson’s words come after reports that the El Paso shooter was motivated by racist, anti-immigrant views, purportedly leaving behind a manifesto that was posted to 8chan, the well-known alt-right haven. (The gunman responsible for the Christchurch, New Zealand shootings that claimed 51 lives had posted his 87-page Islamophobic and anti-immigrant manifesto on the site.) The El Paso manifesto included language that singled out a “Hispanic invasion” as a possible motive, echoing some of President Donald Trump’s favorite rhetoric.

But the El Paso shooter is far from the only piece of recent evidence showing white supremacy is a real threat to lives in the U.S. and around the world. According to CNN, an “audit by the Anti-Defamation League found white supremacist murders in the US ‘more than doubled in 2017.'” There are also the nine dead at the hands of white supremacist Dylan Roof, intent on starting a “race war “at a black Charleston church in 2015. There’s the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally, in Charlottesville, which left Heather Heyer dead at the hands of a white supremacist.

Just a week before the El Paso shooting, FBI Director Christopher Wray testified to the Senate that over the past fiscal year, most of the bureau’s domestic terrorism arrests have involved some form of white supremacy.

If you were to assemble a list, a hierarchy of concerns—of problems this country faces—where would white supremacy be on the list?” Carlson said on Tuesday, in the face of these facts. “Right up there with Russia probably. It’s actually not a real problem in America.”

This language is no surprise. Media Matters has outlined Carlson’s history of remarks echoing and amplifying white supremacist language and ideologies. In 2007, Carlson claimed that the NAACP—one of the nation’s oldest civil rights organizations—is “a sad joke that should be shut down.” In March, the watchdog group unearthed audio of Carlson on a popular radio show repeatedly making racist remarks—as well as making misogynistic and sexual remarks about underage girls. “

The Far Right has no monopoly on Terrorists. The fact is that Zealotry is the the real danger. Single Issue Voters are more a threat to America than wing nuts with a gun. WIng nuts burn out quickly, but SIV's breed!

Most Americans are against the ideology of white supremacist as well as ANTIFA so what's your point. Tucker said elevating white supremacy to the number one threat to the US was a hoax. He simply pointed out things like the debt and China are a much bigger threat than white supremacy. The left lunes twist anything the right says to fit their agenda. You people are so fucked up you are going to lose in 2020. I guess threatening to cut the senate majority's heart out OF HIS BODY in front of his wife and family is OK. That's how the lefty lunes operates and that's OK. The left is the true threat to our nation and is pushing us towards another civil war. You don't see conservatives in front on Nancy's house. The left has become the communist party.

Since the 9/11 attacks, more people have been killed in this country by white supremacists and their supporters than any other group, including refugees and immigrants.

But let's not let facts get in the way of a good deflection.

Tucker Carlson IS a white supremacist, and that particular strategy ("you're worried about this when that is happening?!") is a classic deflection tactic.

The left lunes twist anything the right says to fit their agenda. You people are so fucked up you are going to lose in 2020. I guess threatening to cut the senate majority's heart out OF HIS BODY in front of his wife and family is OK.

Well, of course that's not OK. After all, everybody knows Mitch McConnell doesn't have a heart in the first place!
