Law enforcement veterans say the Capitol siege was just the tip of the iceberg of the 'cult-like' threat far-right extremists pose to the US
Business Insider via MSN ^ | 1/28/21 | Sonam Sheth

**SNIP**

Frank Montoya, Jr., a recently retired FBI special agent, told Insider that the Capitiol siege indicates far-right extremism is a "fundamental" threat to national security, even more so than foreign terror groups. Indeed, many of these extremists are white, male US citizens, some with backgrounds in the military, and are less likely to be profiled as a terror threat than those of Middle Eastern descent in the post-9/11 era.

"The threat we're facing right now is not only real but deeply embedded - and cult-like - in our society," Montoya said. "Look at how many military and law enforcement types were involved in the Capitol assault and how many people in Congress supported the effort to overturn a free and fair election on January 6."

If the attack had come from ISIS or Al-Qaeda, "there would be blue-ribbon commissions, legislation, billions of dollars and thousands of employees from across the government thrown at the problem," he added. "The First Amendment and civil liberties are paramount, but far-right extremism isn't about that. It's about insurrection."

The Department of Homeland Security issued an advisory this week warning of a "heightened threat environment across the United States which DHS believes will persist in the weeks following the successful Presidential Inauguration."

"Information suggests that some ideologically-motivated violent extremists with objections to the exercise of governmental authority and the presidential transition, as well as other perceived grievances fueled by false narratives, could continue to mobilize to incite or commit violence," the advisory said, adding that the DHS expects these threats to persist through early 2021.

The war is openly against those who don’t accept the Pravda-style BS news, and those who would disseminate and discuss truth without Bolshevik oversight/moderation. It isn’t even concealed anymore; we are living in an occupied country ruled by a ChiCom Quisling puppet.

There seem to be more and more ‘law enforcement veterans’ these days who have never worked a full tour on the street.

Does anyone remember November 7th 1983? The May 19thCommunist Organization detonated a bomb in the U.S. Senate in an attempt to kill Republicans.

Susan Rosenberg was arrested for this "attack on the people's house" but later was pardoned by Bill Clinton. She is now an administrator for Black Lives Matter. Never a peep out of CNN or any of he Marxist news outlet about this event.

There Are No Guardrails On The Left

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3929301/posts

America is entering a terrible period in its history at an accelerating pace, now that the Left has taken control of all the critical reins of power in the government, the mainstream media, social media, and big tech. Unfortunately, history teaches with laser clarity that there are no guardrails restraining the behavior of the Left when it is so empowered.

Where could you even BUY a Confederate (battle) flag today?

Good point. My late Dad was a Civil War reenactor in the Brooklyn 14th Regiment (Union) .. and I went with him to several reenactments after Mom died (at a Gettysburg July 3rd 1998 reenactment, of all places and times) ... back then you could go into any Gettysburg store and find all sorts of Civil War memorabilia, both Union and Confederate.
But that was nearly 20 years ago. Nowadays I wonder if any of it is still around, with this silly 'cancel culture' that the left has imposed on us all. /sigh

No, I disagree. But it may be the worst civil war in history.

See 45 for the complete Free Republic thread, but here are my 3 concluding options:

The only three possible outcomes that I can see are:

1. The Left being stopped kinetically, as in Chile in 1973. This is not possible in 2021, because the military is fully cucked, “woke,” and tilting hard-Left. Battlefield warriors are being replaced by social justice warriors. Americans holding traditional conservative values are being intentionally driven out of the military. This is the true purpose of forcing the Left’s trans insanity into the military, transforming it into a hard-Left organization whose leaders and troops consider the Constitution and Bill of Rights to be obsolete parchments penned by white racist slave owners. Don’t look to the military to stop the current slide into Communism, they will be fully on board with it.

2. An eventual full-out Communist victory leading to a Stalinist “deep winter” end state like Cuba or North Korea. This is unlikely because A. the conservative Right is too well armed, and too well trained in military special operations to be defeated kinetically, and B. the federal government is too weak, with an American economic implosion looming as trillions of digital fiat dollars are created out of thin air.

3. Economic implosion leading to a collapse of federal power, a breakdown in food and fuel distribution, leading to a civil war that will resemble Weimar Germany colliding with Former Yugoslavia and Rwanda at the same time. This new civil war, unprecedented in its horrors, might eventually lead to some type of pyrrhic conservative victory, but only on top of the ashes of the American constitutional republic, and at an enormous cost in lives lost and property destroyed.

My current vote is on #3, but the outcomes will vary greatly region by region. In any case, it’s very unlikely that we’ll still have all fifty states operating under our current constitution a decade from now. The best advice that I can give to anyone reading this is to move as far away as possible from Democrat-run cities, especially when these cities are located in Democrat-run states. There will be pain enough to go around, but it will be the worst in the suburban guerrilla warfare battlefields around our major urban centers after the food and fuel deliveries stop–and they will stop. History is crystal clear on this point.

Questions for everyone: How much food is grown in your zip code? In your county? In your telephone area code? Your state? Where does your potable water come from? Will it be dependable when that water delivery infrastructure runs across warring territories?

In other photos, it’s clear that the confederate flag had never been flown, it was new, with its packing creases.

Law enforcement veterans say the Capitol siege was

It wasn't a siege. It wasn't a riot. It wasn't an insurrection.

It was a tour of our public building, with some LARPing thrown in.

This article could have been a direct excerpt from Orwell’s “1984”, but for the use of resident biden’s name. The words “far-right” appear 11 times in the article, “far-left”, not at all. To the useful idiot writing this “far-right” means everyone to the right of Sandy Ocasio-Cortez. That’s about 70% of the US population. (It would be 99%, but for the Marxist union teachers in most public education systems in the country.)

What’s astonishing to me is that a publication with the history of Business Insider would be so far gone that it would ever publish such loony Democrat Party propaganda. This is how Nazi Germany came to power.

I believe I have responded to this pic previously.

I might have asked the question, was kneeling at the demand of leadership, or was this a spontaneous response to an ingrained mindset of the average FBI Agent towards what they support?

The “but” at the bottom leaves an open and unanswered rhetorical question that November 6th actions in the US Capitol fully answer.

In the interest of clarity, the answer is YES!!! Perhaps not just arrest, but pre trial incarceration, trial, conviction, sentencing, and an all expense paid trip to Federal prison. If you are lucky maybe the sentence will consider time already served. The conviction is likely to be Felony. Good by guns, good by employment, good by reputation, good by freedom.

AFAIK, they knelt spontaneously, in order to:
1. Demonstrate their affinity toward Antifa/BLM and
2. To demonstrate their submission, to not be attacked by the rioters.

2021 BIDEN REGURGITATING OBAMA/BIDEN-era 2013 vomitus

Biden's DHS warns due to the Jan 6, 2021 brouhaha, a "heightened threat environment will persist."
<><> DHS has information on ideologically-motivated "violent extremists,"
<><> extremists w/ objections to the exercise of "governmental authority,"
<><> who object to the "presidential transition" to Biden,
<><> those with "perceived grievances" fueled by "false narratives." (emphasis added)
The DHS expects continued mobilization to incite or commit violence, and that these threats will persist through early 2021.

Mmmmm.....seems to me I've heard that song before.

CIRCA 2013 Obama targets returning vets as terrorists
(Obama planned government searches of US military homes)

CS monitor ^| 10-16-13 | Patrik Jonsson / FR Posted by TurboZamboni

CIRCA 2013--BACKSTORY A tense joint hearing of the House oversight and natural-resource committees took place following allegations that the Ntl Park Service, and its rangers, had allowed themselves to become a political arm of the Obama/Biden administration, erecting barriers to score political points and remind Americans of the primacy of government stewardship. (Excerpt) Read more at csmonitor.com ... e

===============================================

Then-DHS Secy Janet Napolitano revealed Obama's intentions---classifying the military as domestic terror threats.
Unbelievably, Obama hatched a plan to have the US government search the homes of military when terror threats surfaced. (more on Obama/Biden-flunky Napolitano below)

=====================================

Educational materials from the Department of Defense (DOD) depict conservative organizations as “hate groups” and to be aware that “many extremists will talk of individual liberties, states’ rights, and how to make the world a better place.” The documents favorably and repeatedly cite the leftwing Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) as a resource for identifying “hate groups.”

Judicial Watch obtained the DOD documents in a response to a Freedom of Information Act request filed April 8, 2013. The FOIA requested: “Any and all records concerning, regarding, or related to the preparation and presentation of training materials on hate groups or hate crimes distributed or used by the Air Force.”

Included in the 133 pages of lesson plans and PowerPoint slides provided by the Air Force is a January 2013 Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute “student guide” entitled “Extremism.” The document says that it is “for training purposes only.”

HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:

Anyone opposed to Agenda 21, anyone concerned about FEMA camps, that “fears impending gun control or weapons confiscations,” the militia movement, sovereign citizen movement, that “don’t think they should have to pay taxes”

Anyone that “complains about bias,” that “believes in government conspiracies, that “is frustrated with mainstream ideologies,” that “visits extremist websites/blogs,” that “establishes website/blog to display extremist views," that “attends rallies for extremist causes,” that “exhibits extreme religious intolerance," that is personally connected with a grievance,” that “suddenly acquires weapons,” that “organizes protests inspired by extremist ideology”

“Militia or unorganized militia,” “General right-wing extremist,” Citizens that have “bumper stickers” that are patriotic or anti-U.N., those that refer to an “Army of God,” that are “fiercely nationalistic (as opposed to universal and international in orientation),” that are “anti-global,” that are “suspicious of centralized federal authority,” that “revere individual liberty,” that “believe in conspiracy theories”

Those that have “a belief that one’s personal and/or national ‘way of life’ is under attack,” that possess “a belief in the need to be prepared for an attack either by participating in paramilitary preparations and training or survivalism,” that would “impose strict religious tenets or laws on society (fundamentalists)” that would “insert religion into the political sphere,” that would “seek to politicize religion,” that have “supported political movements for autonomy.”

The Far Right (Nazis, neo-Nazis, white racists and suprematcist) do exist and are a limited but dangerous threat to the US society but not its’ national security, per se.

You're not getting it. To the Deep State, you and I and everyone posting here, ARE the "Far Right".

To a Communist, anyone opposing Communism is far right, and anyone willing to do anything to oppose what's coming is a radical right extremist.

They plan on a globalist One World Order, the Great Reset where only the Elites own anything. If you oppose that, then you are an enemy to be destroyed, by whatever means necessary.

The left is really laying it on thick with the rhetoric to try to poison minds against the right.

Sadly, it will work after a while.
