TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Shortly after sunrise on Jan. 15, FBI agents descended with guns drawn on a squat, red-brick apartment complex here, broke open the door of one of the units and threw in a stun grenade, prompting the frightened property manager to call 911.

Everyone should expect the FBI to also gaslight America. Note that the entire Russian collusion narrative was gaslighting.

After reading the story, there are a LOT of guys out there like Baker. I know, because I taught high school for years. The Federal Agencies know too, by the way, they just ignore them (unless they get really cuckoo, like Baker) because they don’t fit their agenda.

As a far-right extremist movement wages an assault on American government and institutions,

What kind of bullsh*t is this?

"It is ratcheting up and then getting a response and a back-and-forth," said Steven Chermak, a professor of criminal justice at Michigan State University.

The MSM and Dem politicians have been doing 90% of the ratcheting in the last 20 years.

Baker enlisted in the Army and eventually separated after about 20 months on a less-than-honorable discharge. Later... He joined the YPG in Syria!

From the article: “Baker’s search for a radically different form of government eventually took him to Syria, where Kurdish groups were seeking to build a socialist democracy underpinned by feminism and environmental sustainability. Baker was drawn to the concept, and he joined the Kurdish People’s Protection Units, known as YPG, in their battle against Islamic State forces in 2017.”

Seriously? Is that what the Kurds are trying to do to establish their independence?

It’s all the far right extremists waging a war by listening to talk radio, donating to Republican candidates, and voting against progressive policies.

The premise is flawed.
“After a mob of Donald Trump supporters invaded the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 in hopes of preventing Biden from taking office, the FBI had warned that far-right extremists were plotting armed marches in Tallahassee and other state capitals, as well as in Washington, D.C.”
The quote is just a lie.

Shame on “Stars and Stripes” for allowing this crap to be printed on their site.
The truth is that far left extremists were leading the group of Trump supporters.
LOOK AT THE VIDEOS OF THE “ATTACK,” THE LEADERS CAN BE IDENTIFIED BY THEIR WEARING ORANGE CAPS, ORANGE RIBBONS, ORANGE MASKS, ETC. These people are the criminals who should be prosecuted, not those who, foolishly, were duped into actually going into the building.

“Political violence remains far more common a feature of far-right groups than of those on the far left, according to law enforcement officials and data compiled by those who study extremist violence. Federal authorities have repeatedly described homegrown, right-wing extremists as the most urgent terrorism threat facing the nation.”

Looks like the Left owns this rag too...After all, how many ‘right groups’ have occupied and burned down parts of cities, or in the case of large-scale rioting, burned down entire cities?

In fact, several months ago I asked for even ONE EXAMPLE of right-wing violence occurring without any Leftists involved...whereas Left-wing violence without right-wing people around is the norm. Maybe 100 years ago, the KKK would have fit that description, but that was a LONG TIME AGO.

To this day, I still cannot think of a single example of right-wing violence without Leftists being around. Even the attack on the Capitol was led by a known Antifa leader, John Sullivan.

Maybe right-wing violence will happen now, considering that violence typically results when elections are stolen, but it still HAS NOT happened, yet.

“What kind of bullsh*t is this?”

It used to be called ‘political discourse’, when our side opposed what the Left wanted to do. Now it’s ‘far-right extremism’ - the days of debate and maybe compromise are simply over for them.

Sounds like he fell for those commie-looking posters that advocated armed protests at State capitals. The ones that Freepers said were clear attempts to spring a false-flag event.

“Is that what the Kurds are trying to do to establish their independence?”

The most violent and visible group, the PPK, is openly socialist. They are also the main target of the Turks. Most of the Kurds are for a strong democracy.

The Stars and Stripes has been a propaganda rag since at least 1970. I just read this article and feel take a bath dirty.

And with all the guns around, could you imagine what would occur if there really was such rampant extremism? Even David Hogg would be carrying.

This is ridiculous. They blame “right wing attacks” for provoking the leftists, who apparently are simply fighting back in righteous indignation.

I guess they missed the cities in flames all summer.
