Rhetoric, Reality And The Domestic Terror Threat

While the latest Homeland Threat Assessment from the Department of Homeland Security describes white supremacists as the “most persistent and lethal threat,” not a single one of the FBI’s most wanted domestic terrorists is linked to a white supremacist or right-wing group.

Adding to the confusion over the perceived threats was a bulletin issued by DHS in the last week in January warning about the threat from what it termed “domestic violent extremists.” Once again, the bulletin warns of violent extremism, but makes no mention of Antifa, despite the group once attacking an ICE facility in Portland recently. Given Antifa’s record of violence over the past few years one might think that DHS would include them as a relevant threat. Portland and Seattle have been plagued by unrest for months. In a Washington, DC protest over the weekend Antifa and BLM supporters chanted “Burn it down.” The DHS bulletin makes no mention of these potential threats.

When I was young growing up in the Jim Crow South - these “Homeland” style tactics being used against us today were the same tactics democrats used against blacks back then...

Whatever ‘crime’ a black person did against whites was blown up to ‘horrible beyond words’... while whatever crime whites did against blacks was ignored or justified. The most extreme example being Emmett Til.

Today the most extreme example is Antifa and BLM getting a pass for two billion dollars worth of damage and dozens of murders while we are condemned for breaking one window and damaging one door. (I don’t approve of violence on either side but ‘let’s get real’ is in order here.)

Now democrats - being true to form - are using their same Jim Crow hate tactics against us.

What’s weird is black citizen who were democrat’s victims in the South are joining with the KKK - oops, I mean ‘Homeland’ against Republicans. Republicans - the same people who voted in all the early civil rights legislation and stood with blacks against the democrat KKK.
