U.S. intelligence report details 'indirect' Russian government support for Western neofascist groups
Yahoo News ^ | February 10th, 2022 | Zach Dorfman and Jana Winter

Posted on 02/10/2022 7:40:42 PM PST by Mariner

A U.S. intelligence community assessment obtained by Yahoo News concluded that the Russian government is providing “indirect and passive support” to neofascist groups operating in the U.S. and elsewhere, but stops short of accusing the Kremlin of supplying financial or material assistance to Western extremist groups.

The Kremlin “probably tolerates some private Russian entities’ support” for U.S. and European white nationalist groups “because it aligns with Kremlin efforts to aggravate societal fissures in the West,” states the report.

Russian neofascist groups have attempted to recruit and provide paramilitary training to North American and European extremists in order to “expand their reach into the West, increase membership, and raise money,” according to the unclassified July 2021 intelligence report.

The support of Western neofascists by Russian extremists “poses a potential threat to Western security by encouraging and enabling attacks on ethnic minorities and government facilities,” states the report, which is titled “Russian Federation Support of Racially and Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists.”

But the report, which was prepared by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence with input from the CIA and the FBI, also says the U.S. government lacks “indications of direct Russian government support” for foreign white nationalist groups.

Yahoo News is like reading Facebook. It’s a lie, wrapped in deception, rolled up next to a toilet.

There is only one way to end this.

The US Intel Community has no credibility currently -- right along with the administration, bureaucrats, media, celebrities, teachers, doctors, social workers, etc., etc.

They have lied about everything.

Time we help the Muslims in Russia, say like in East Russia. Then they will have to decide to send their troops.

The communists always support fascist groups to divert attention from their fronts and underground operations!

I know that it, like it’s horrible cousins communism and socialism as well, has absolutely nothing to do with Conservatism or constitutionalism for that matter, and needs to be condemned in the loudest possible terms and distanced from completely.

It’s already an established fact that the FSB has units involved in such co-opting in the west, and with online troll farms, bots, etc … A big one was busted out of St. Petersburg, (Агентство интернет-исследований) and they went online with many multiple accounts (one disrupted for example managing 60 accounts) and actually took up both a pro and con position and stoked the fires between Americans to divide them and get them pissed off at each other, arguing shit with each other… The oldest trick in the book I’d say. Red Chinese adversaries as well but by and large their English is not as perfected as Russkiyes.

Leaking Intelligence thugs: Hand this story off to the New York Times or Washington Post. Let them do their worst with it - full front page stories - maybe a series. Trust me - the Times and Post hate traditional American more than you do...
Put up or shut up.

No one stokes the flames of division in our country more than the Biden Administration and Marxist 'elites' working in the White House.

We don't want Marxist in our country either...

If our 'intelligence' thugs have something they can 'leak it' to the Washington Post or New York Times. (They've got these papers on speed dial) All of us would like to see it. If they don't then this report is just another way for them to slander conservatives by innuendo...

And DHS came out with something that said anyone questioning the government can be put on a terrorist list.

Same 'intelligence' folks who 'missed' the almost two billion dollars worth of damage done by Antifa and BLM- with their propositioned pallets of bricks, weapons, masks and walking around money.

“Soon, every un-woke conservative will be associated with foreign subversion. “

Er, the current President and Demoncrat members of the Federal government are not indirectly, not tangentially, not innocently associated with the Chinese Communist Party...

they are directly, financially, politically, illegally, and obviously connected with the Chinese Communist Party, and the Mexican Cartels, the Mullahs of Iran, the Muslim Brotherhood, and international billionaire criminals such as George Soros. But, other than that, they are ok.

Re: "Does anybody know what fascism means anymore?"

When compared to a Communist dictatorship, there are two distinct differences...

(1) Fascist dictators understand that free enterprise capitalism produces massively more wealth than Communism, so, to the political extent possible, Fascists encourage wealth production.

(2) Fascist dictators understand that human beings feel instinctive love and loyalty for their country, but those same citizens feel nothing about some Utopian Communist fantasy world.

One final thought - except for Hitler, I cannot recall any Fascist dictator who was centrally motivated by a sociopathic hatred for a specific ethnic group.

Really. I thought they were referring to antifa and the democrat party by mention of neo-fascists. If not Russia, who is funding and training these neo-fascists? Could it be the out of control US government?
