RE: THE ARTICLE ABOUT US SCARY CONSPIRACY THEORISTS
FROM A CHAN:
“Michael German, a former FBI agent and now a fellow with the Brennan Center for Justice’s Liberty & National Security program says, “It’s part of the radicalization theory the FBI has promoted despite empirical studies that show it’s bogus,” he said.
German says this new category is a continuing part of FBI overreach. “They like the radicalization theory because it justifies mass surveillance,” he said. “If we know everyone who will do harm is coming from this particular community, mass surveillance is important. We keep broadening the number of communities we include in extremist categories.”
