In an address to the International Association of Chiefs of Police conference in San Diego, California on Saturday, FBI Director Christopher Wray issued a dire warning about the rise of violent extremism, both domestic and international.
The warning comes amid ongoing conflict between Israel and the militant group Hamas, which has already claimed thousands of lives, including 29 Americans.
“Before I get into some of the specific ways we’re doing that work together, I want to take a moment to offer my heartfelt condolences to the people of Israel, and share the outrage that I know we all feel at the sheer brutality and disregard for innocent lives there,” said Wray.
“History has been witness to antisemitic and other forms of violent extremism for far too long. Whether that be from foreign terrorist organizations, or those inspired by them, or domestic violent extremists motivated by their own racial animus, the targeting of a community because of their faith is totally unacceptable,” he added.
“We remain committed to continue confronting those threats—both here in the United States and overseas.”
Wray indicated that there has been a significant uptick in reported threats following the attacks, cautioning the public to remain vigilant for “lone actors.”
“In this heightened environment, there’s no question we’re seeing an increase in reported threats, and we’ve got to be on the lookout, especially for lone actors who may take inspiration from recent events to commit violence of their own.
“So I encourage you to stay vigilant, because as the first line of defense in protecting our communities, you’re often the first to see the signs that someone may be mobilizing to violence. And I’d also ask you to continue sharing any intelligence or observations you may have. And on our end, we’re committed to doing the same, so that together, we can safeguard our communities,” he added.
WATCH:
These guys are clueless, they don’t even know
Does this mean the FBI will no longer be surveilling Catholic churches and people wearing MAGA hats? And actually pursuing true threats?
This makes it imperative to impose nationwide mail-in ballots, since terrorists may try to attack polling places. Also, anti-government speech should be severely curtailed, lest adversaries try to sow chaos. We must all support our government 100%.
Not this crap again, wasn’t 9/11 enough?
Terrorists know the FBI is toothless against them. They know the feds only go after white Christian parents...
Hs! Maybe it’s a veiled warning.
These guys are so obvious, with all they *do*, for all.
He must be talking of MAGA supporters.
It sounds like the FBI has determined that America’s “strength” is coming to kick our asses.
White supremacists? Devout Catholics? MAGA insurrectionists? Parents at school board meetings?
Whoever it is, the Democrats are on top of it.
But but but NBC said
Conservative social media influencers have shared speculation with no evidence that attacks in Israel would soon be followed by similar attacks in the U.S.

Wray and his FBI are to busy locating and identifying radical, white supremacist, Trump voters who will try to take over the US on election day through the election process.

I now understand the RUSH the miggies had going to wade the Rio Grande (our only defensive barrier against death and destruction invading from below).
The only good news today.
If this fool thinks there is a threat, we are probably safe.
Think if terrorist organizations as corporations. The terror attacks are their products, and the customers are the people and governments who sponsor terrorism. When terror group A makes a huge attack all the competing organizations must stage attacks as well or Group A will get all the publicity and thus all of the funding. Each new attack is a, “see?! We have an equivalent or better product! Send money here.” Thus, anytime there is a big attack someplace the competition will attack also.
Is it about their fantasy menace of white extremists waiting to set off white structural racism suicide bombs in Popeye’s?
Well the terrorists have been streaming across the mexican border for 3 years now.
They’re not telling me anything I don’t already know.
