Extremists inspired by conspiracy theories pose major threat to 2024 elections, U.S. intelligence warns

U.S. intelligence agencies have identified domestic extremists with grievances rooted in election-related conspiracy theories, including beliefs in widespread voter fraud and animosity toward perceived political opponents, as the most likely threat of violence in the coming election.

…Former President Donald Trump has claimed elections have been rigged against him since 2016, when he won the Electoral College but lost the popular vote. In 2020, he and his allies ramped up false claims of cheating — lies the courts quickly struck down — but the claims became fuel for a violent attack at the Capitol, which aimed to overturn the election.

Perceptions of election fraud are a “prominent narrative” for extremists who have targeted government and election officials, with at least three domestic extremist attacks and two disrupted plots being linked to such false claims since Jan. 6., according to the report. Intelligence agents also listed immigration, LGBTQ issues, abortion and the failed assassination attempts against Trump as motivations for recent calls for violence from extremists.

The report noted recent incidents of targeted violence, including increased activity from white nationalists and Proud Boy organizing against Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio. It also noted disturbing calls for violence on anonymous online message boards targeting election workers and undocumented immigrants as part of “election steal defense prep.”

Wrong. Fraudulent voting represents the biggest threat to America.

How quickly the media “forgets” that both Al Gore and Hillary Clinton claimed that they won their respective elections.

Deep state elitists in media and government just won’t quit will they. The only “extremism” that I’m yearning for is the metaphorical hatchet that the Trump administration will take to the bloated and treasonous elements of the executive branch (should he win).

Extremists resisting a Harris election who isn’t qualified for the position as she was raised as a Canadian until after high school. She can’t lead us in our Pledge of Allegiance because she didn’t learn it in Canada.

Oh yeah, and it is the left who are threatening violence if their candidate loses, not the right!

“... beliefs in widespread voter fraud...”

~~~

There’s that word again!

No, technically, fraud in Atlanta, Philadelphia, Detroit and Maricopa are not “WIDESPREAD”.

However, just those four jurisdictions changes 63 electoral college points, which is a 126 point swing!

Kinda interesting how desperately the swamp creatures in our government want to criminalize any critical look at how are elections are being conducted!

“U.S. Intelligence”. ROTFLMAO. Here we go again. They’ll probably be dragging out their two nuclear weapons. Peter Stzrok and Lisa Page. “The Official Lovebirds of the Seventeen U.S. Intelligence Communities.”

I am very confused does this mean BLM and Hamas supporters will be voting for Trump?

The “ major threat “ to U.S. Intelligence agencies is that they are all about to be exposed for their multiple misdeeds.

Looks like today they got the marching order to prime the pumps for martial law or something like that. When will the rest of the media democrap propaganda machine crank up? Today? They all pile on at once like lemmings.

Well, out of the two: US Intelligence or US Extremists, only one the above has actual field experience in subverting elections. I’ll let you guess which one that is.

Author Brandy’s wiki page has

In October 2020, Zadrozny was criticized on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show Tucker Carlson Tonight. Carlson’s guest Darren Beattie, a former speechwriter for Donald Trump, accused Zadrozny of trying to “dig up personal information about anonymous Trump supporters online ... basically, so she can ruin their lives.”
