The Department of Homeland Security will grant millions of dollars in funding to outside organizations focused on combating far-right extremism and white supremacy.
The department's program, called Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention, agreed to provide $10 million in grants to organizations including Life After Hate, which was founded by reformed white supremacists and helps people trying to leave the far right, the School of Communication at American University to develop a strategy for combating disinformation circulated by the far right online, and others, according to the Wall Street Journal.
A Homeland Security spokesman said the funding is meant to help prevent violent white supremacy alongside a number of recognized and emergent forms of terrorism and targeted violence.
The issue of white supremacy has made waves in recent weeks following comments from FBI Director Christopher Wray as well as President Trump.
Wray, in testimony in front of the House Homeland Security Committee in September, warned that the majority of people who commit deadly or violent incidents against others in 2018 and 2019 have been racially and ethnically motivated. He also said such attacks are the most lethal of all domestic extremists since 2001.
Wray's comments stand in contrast to those from the president, who earlier this week at the presidential debate with Democratic candidate Joe Biden downplayed the threat of right-wing violence and hyped up the threat of left-wing violence.

Check out Britain. Criticize Islam online and the police will be at your door.
Check out Australia. In one state (Victoria) they arrest people for trying to organize anti-lockdown protests online.
We’re next. Pray for President Trump. He is the only one standing in the way of state security fascism.
Exactly.

Isaiah 5:20
True fact. Satans disinformation campaign has been very effective.
I’m no one to talk, but I don’t think God would look favorably
on the demonicRats today.
“The department’s program, called Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention, agreed to provide $10 million in grants to organizations including Life After Hate ... A Homeland Security spokesman said the funding is meant to help prevent ‘violent white supremacy alongside a number of recognized and emergent forms of terrorism and targeted violence’.”
I hope Trump will have this funding repurposed to exposing the Southern Law Poverty Center for the racist, anti-American hate group that it is.
“Southern Law Poverty Center”
Make that the “Southern Poverty Law Center.”
Indeed
It’s like the strong delusion is starting
