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 intent to engage in violence" from those who were incensed by Trump's election loss "has not gone away," the official told The Times.

Maybe DHS should look into election fraud.

So, all of us who know you cheated are now terrorsists? Do you think we are all so stupid as to believe the election was even close to fair? Really?

Wow... they are really sounding like communists to me.

Did Trump really just walk away from this?

Did our military really just lay down it’s arms at the feet of the CCP and vow loyalty to Zod???

I’m sure he joined the love fest of Antifa and BLM terror from March thru September, though.

It’s clear that the current communist purge is about to increase an order of magnitude...

This is moving at a rate faster than either Germany when Hitler came to power or Russia after the revolution...

There cannot be very much doubt that the final outcome will be history’s darkest, most evil, longest-lasting tyranny...

Montoya is full of crap. Period. He and Watts are two examples of what was wrong with Comey’s FBI, and some of his predecessors, “No Threat From The Left” mentality.

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.

There were more communist and anarchist terrorists actively striking America from the old SDS/Weatherman/PFOC/New Dawn/Black Panthers and RNA/RAM groups, and affinity groups (mainly white Marxists on the East Coast with the small SLA on the West Coast) in the late 60’s/70/s and into the early 80s (the WUO became the white faction of the maoist May 19th Communist Organization along with the old Black Liberation Army/RNA remnants at the Nyack, NY killings and assassinations of NYPD police officers).

I was briefly involved in work that included these groups and some you never heard of, from the formation of the SDS/WUO to the Black Panther killing of Officer Sager in Baltimore and an attempt to bomb a major landmark in NYC. An old school friend of mine (as we discovered laughingly at an unplanned reunion)was on the Buck/Clark surveillance of the 1980’s old SDS/WUO network of bombers, including the BLM’s Susan Rosenberg finances handling of today).

Wont’ even mention a few small Hispanic terrorist groups (Young Lords, some of La Raza, etc., the Puerto Rican nationalists turned Marxists of the FALN (Fraunces Tavern bombing/killings) the MIRA? killing of two US sailors in Puerto Rico, the Puerto Rican Socialist Party (Cuban-trained), and smaller PR terrorist cells.

Today’s ANTIFA was significantly organized and trained by Filipino Marxist (NPA supporter) Walden Bello (Seattle 1999 riots and WTO riots 2000, World Bank protests in the US, etc)., and a handful of younger Marxist/anarchist radicals.

We also have the terrorists (aka in DC as “protestors”, aka “rioters) of the Communist Workers Party (CWP) and their front “Fight Fascism” (aka “Resist Fascism”).

There are also the Marxist Red Block anarchists (who seem to have merged into ANTIFA) and the old Black Bloc psychopathic anarchists (now in Antifa - Seattle and Portland).

Seems the FBI, Watts and Montoya missed these during their careers. That would explain why some of the leadership of the FBI/DNI/DOJ, etc. were so fixated on bringing down the elected president of the US, Donald Trump and not looking at Russian, Iranian, No. Korean, Red Chinese, and Cuban disinformation and hacking/trolling operations in the U.S. Watts, Montoya, Brennan, Clapper, Strzok, McCabe, etc. were guilty as hell of “dereliction of duty”, “malfeasance of office”, and quite literally treason for falling for Russian, etc. disinformation programs while ignoring their real threats, along with those of the Antifa/BLM movements and their riots, arson, attacks on the police, and calls for the destruction of the constitutional governance of America.

Other than that, Watts and Montoya and others did a really good job of protecting America from the “alt-right”, whatever the heck that is.

Been in this field of research for over 50 years. I stand by what I’ve seen and learned during that period of time.

What cult does Frank Montoya, Jr. belong to, the cult of Karl Marx? He sounds like Stalin accusing Trotsky of being a Nazi.

The Capitol siege was a tiny minority of Trump supporters.

If all of them had gone there, then the building would still be occupied and POTUS 46 would not yet have started his “work”.

And fewer people would have died.

Seems we lived this exact thing in 2017 only the leftist threats persisted through.....well they’re still rioting.

Translation = Law Enforcement for sale.

Looks like local police chiefs have caught on to the FBI's game.

Follow the money. Chief’s are influenced by Federal grants.

Yes, 'deeply embedded' and 'cult-like' as in 245 years of American Liberty

"Information suggests that some ideologically-motivated violent extremists with objections to the exercise of governmental authority ..."

Stop right there. "Objection" to "Governmental Authority" is the foundation of the U.S.A.
This guy sounds like a wanna-be Tyrant.

DHS expects these threats to persist through early 2021

... as well they should. We still want a *free* America, with everything that made America great in the first place, not as dictated from some DHS agent in Washington DC
