FBI chief says racist extremists fueling one another, making connections overseas
The Hill ^ | October 30, 2019 | Rachel Frazin

FBI Director Christopher Wray on Wednesday said that violent, racially-motivated extremists in the U.S. are connecting with foreign extremists, with some traveling abroad to train.

Appearing before the House Homeland Security Committee, Wray was pressed to discuss how the FBI handles domestic terrorism suspects and how it is different than foreign terrorism suspects.

"We are starting to see racially-motivated violent extremists connecting with likeminded individuals overseas online, certainly, and in some instances we have seen some folks travel overseas to train," Wray said after Rep. Lou Correa (D-Calif.) expressed concern about domestic terrorists traveling to Ukraine for training.

A U.S. Army soldier, Jarrett William Smith, was arrested last month on federal charges for allegedly sending instructions to build bombs over social media. Smith said he was interested in joining the Azov Battalion, a paramilitary group in Ukraine.

It MUST come to war if this crap doesn’t stop.

WE will be the enemy before long and then it will be too late.

ONE MAN stands between us and concentration camps.

And a lot of guns but people need to be organized in groups for that to work.

They (we) are not.

Wray shows once again why he should never have been considered.

Lemme know when he considers the Sinaloa mafia to be the same threat that he thinks most Southern white males are.

Maybe he’ll start prosecuting Border Patrolmen for violating the affirmative action rights of smugglers and illegals.

Sounds like nothing restricting Americans ability to leave the country, ending free speech and gun control wouldn’t fix.

Meanwhile antifa runs wild. Jihadis are free to do as they please. But white nationalist oh, that’s the real threat to America. F Troop strikes again.

And our increasingly creepy government never stops to ask why the people in question are feeling more of a need to be armed and trained lately.

“And a lot of guns but people need to be organized in groups for that to work.”

The exact opposite is true.

Groups will be taken out on day 1. They are already known. Guaranteed.

It is the quiet individuals the government fears most. Especially those with hunting rifles.

The baby-killing FBI gestapo is trying to designate veterans as potential terrorists. And the FBI clowns are being trained to ignore Islam jihadists.

Riiiiight. Meanwhile, Muslim terrorists are crossing the southern border into our country. Antifa is trying to bu weapons from Mexican cartels. But, no one loner that they groomed is gonna be the new focus. Oh wait-the FBI works for the Deep State- explains a few things.

We belong to a local gun club. It has a 600 yard range. It gets quite a bit of use.

600 yards is a looooong way off.

This smells like “setup” testimony from Wray and Rep Correa. No mention of Antifa, environmental groups, etc.? Suddenly white nationalists (all three of them?...) are the biggest concern for the Director of the FBI? It sounds like Correa “specifically” asked about ‘domestic terrorists’ traveling to UKraine. What?!?! Not Libya, Syria, the Congo? WTF!

All of sudden, out of literally F’ing NOWHERE, Ukraine is now the main white nationalist/terrorist training camp stronghold? This stinks like a ‘planned’ narrative being set up by Wray/dems/media. If an attack occurs soon, they will tell us it was a “racially-motivated violent extremist” with ties to the Ukraine and by default, President Trump. This hearing ‘happens’ to take place just before we are supposed to be learning about how Ukraine played a role in helping HRC/Biden/dems in 2016?

Folks, I think this is bad. Keep your head on a swivel in the coming days and weeks. And I hate to say this but if you find yourself around one of these incidents, you may want to think twice before you run towards the “good guys” with the 3 letter jackets on...

“Racist extremist groups...”

You mean like the Black Panthers? Black Lives Matter? La Raza?

No?

I guess the Federal Bureau of Injustice doesn’t care about them, right?

We have an ongoing coup plot against the President of the United States and Wray wants to talk about this garbage.

C’mon folks—convince me this guy is not part of the problem instead of part of the solution.
