In the view of the Department of Homeland Securitys intelligence wing, anger over the election of Donald Trump, reflected in protests across the country, is a driving force in domestic terrorist violence, according to an unclassified report obtained by The Intercept.
The conclusions, laid out in a February 21 report prepared by the North Carolina Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAAC) and DHSs Office of Intelligence & Analysis (I&A), come amid a series of controversial post-election efforts by Republican lawmakers to criminalize protest.
Focused on North Carolina, the six-page document was written in response to a spike in violence and criminal acts including an arson attack targeting political party offices and staff that occurred prior to of and immediately following the election and sets out to provide an overall threat forecast for the first half of 2017 concerning like activities in the state.

Dr. Oz: EEG Brain Scans Reveal Fake News Threatens Your Health
Observer ^ | 2/23/17 | Dr. Mehmet Oz

Our show will spotlight a first-of-its-kind social experiment to identify the dangerous and disruptive effect of fake news on our brains. We had high profile fake news creator Jestin Coler craft two fictional stories: one designed to prey on liberals and another on conservatives.
Women read the articles, not knowing they were fake, as neuropsychiatrist Dr. Daniel Amen gathered quantitative EEG assessments.
The findings supported results of a functional MRI study recently published in Nature Scientific Reports, which showed how challenging a persons political beliefs could activate the parts of the brain associated with emotion and self-identity.
A self-described liberal woman in our social experiment reported feeling sad after reading a fictional article on illegal immigrants, but revealed stronger irritation and anger when processing a fake story about a jailed climate change researcher. Simultaneous changes in her brain activity were also much greater when processing the climate change story and correlated with a strong emotional response of angst and fear.
A conservative woman demonstrated opposite reactions. For her, the article on illegal immigration elicited changes in brain activity changes that you would see during a physical threat.
The women were not told that the articles were fake until they were seated on stage. What happened next was startling. First, the women understandably, but awkwardly, tried to defend why they believed the false stories, rather than expressing frustration that they had been duped. This natural human tendency was highlighted by one womans comment that while the news was fake, it reinforced a truth she felt about our countryso the piece was tolerable.

So protect your mental health by never watching ABCNNBCBS and Faux liberals.
Never read any article by the NY or LA Slimes, Compost, SF Gay Rhonical, WSJ supposedly about President Trump.
Then: Donate Monthly to Free Republic and dont read posts labeled as Fake News or Not Even News. Let Trump drive the liberals and their mediots even more insane and depressed with his real news from Tweets and his controlled Press Conferences!
Become a monthly Donor to Free Republic and avoid Fake News and have better mental and physical health.
I can see where a case could be made that Rats are domestic terrorists.
All that organized violence in Chicago was Trumps fault too. Mr. Cruz said so.
You mean instead of people who were “overly reverential” of the Constitution and veterans, we can now focus on subversive leftists and anarchists?
“EEG Brain Scans Reveal Fake News Threatens Your Health”. Well, I just got my labs back and everything is right down the middle. Must be the built in BS detector I’ve acquired over the years that keeps me safe and sane from all the news that’s not really news threat. :-)
Fake news. Not a factually accurate statement in the whole piece.
read the report. maybe I missed it, but it’s a lot “maybe”....
They note various acts of violence and criminality during protests.
They don’t mention an act of terrorism nor do they define “domestic terrorism violence”, yet make that leap.
Noted in the report is: their level of confidence in all aspects is medium.
Definition:
(U) Medium confidence includes information that is credibly sourced and plausible but can be interpreted in various ways, or information that is not sufficient quality or corroborated sufficiently to warrant a higher level of confidence
Results:
(U//FOUO) We have medium confidence in our assessment that physical violence against political organizations is likely to decrease in the first half of 2017 as it is based on a lack of threat recent threat reporting and our judgments about domestic terrorists targeting preferences as SMEs on the topic. We acknowledge that this lack of threat reporting could also partially be the result of the inherent difficulties in obtaining comprehensive domestic terrorism reporting as a result of privacy and civil rights restrictions on USPER data.
(U//FOUO) We have medium confidence in our assessment that malicious cyber activities in the first half of 2017 directed at government networks will likely continue at a similar rate but will be more focused on criminal rather than political aims as it is based largely onon our judgments regarding the goals of cyber actors as SMEs on the topic; these judgments have been corroborated by DHS IIR reporting that is deemed credible by other cyber experts.
Well at least most of the spelling is okay. Guess I needed to post a “grain of salt”(gos!) warning on it.
that occurred prior to of and immediately following the election
Juan Thompson was working for them last year.
this is just making the President’s job of wack-a-obamamole that much easier.
More trash news.
Thank you. Thank you very much. I’ll be here all week. LOL! I know that most of us don’t need any guidance to believe that the wacka doddle libs are suffering from the head poppin’ defeat and Trump derangement syndrome, but still.............
No one in my circle wants any violence in the world, we’ve experienced it first hand, yet still prepare and train daily to counter it as it presents itself if at all possible be we together or alone ..... we can never stop it. We can only mitigate the damage. Efforts to see it coming are a 24/7 task. Awareness of threats at all levels be they immediate and local or worldwide and imminent is a life skill that is elementary to survival.
That said Homeland Security, without a boogie man, does not earn they’re budget, titles, authority and toys.
Some threats are embellished, fabricated and fantasy . We have to separate the wheat from the chaff per se and keep such panic factories on leash. Our responsibility. Not some pandering polidiot or professional liars I call presstitutes .
People, ordinary everyday citizens be they left or right of the political center must wise up and not be used by handlers with agendas as social experiments.
Decide for yourselves, your family, your community and our country.
ALL information in contaminated in some form or fashion when we receive it from others. Remember as children they sat 12 or more of us down in a long line and whispered something into the first persons ear and told em to pass it on ? It was never accurate or complete.
Stay Safe !
Thanks for your feedback as usual.
I did that exercise in college and later in the Navy.
The results were scary in both cases.
We gave always known that lefties are violent criminals. We need to use the FEMA camps that Clinton had built for gun owners to house these seditionists until their cases can be tried in 20 years. How ironic that would be.
How long has anger been causing protests? Just since a Republican was elected. My anger at obozo didn’t cause me to riot and destroy other people’s property!
The man caught for phoning in all of the bomb threats against Jewish synagogues and organizations was fired by “The Intercept” last year for false reporting.
I guess this leftist organization still has the same type of employees.
