White supremacists and other like-minded groups have committed a majority of the terrorist attacks in the United States this year, according to a report by a security think tank that echoed warnings made by the Department of Homeland Security this month.
The report, published Thursday by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, found that white supremacist groups were responsible for 41 of 61 terrorist plots and attacks in the first eight months of this year, or 67 percent.
The finding comes about two weeks after an annual assessment by the Department of Homeland Security warned that violent white supremacy was the most persistent and lethal threat in the homeland and that white supremacists were the most deadly among domestic terrorists in recent years.

Those were Antifa and BLM terror.
More information warfare from lefist, democrat media supported by leftist democrats in the deep state.
JoMa
I dont think these guys use the same definition of terrorist attack that most average Americans use. I think of the Boston Marathon attacks. These guys think of a bunch of fools playing Bourne Identity in Michigan...lead by an FBI agent.
I respect law enforcement guys. I have no respect for DOJ administrators. These clowns are so clearly in the bag for Democrats its scary.
Never do they give specific examples of “White Supremacist” violence.
Yet there are countless examples, with proof, of violent leftist destruction. But that’s just an “idea,” right?
You know, those right wingers who attacked Juicy Smollay, or tied the noose in Bubba’s garage. Those right wingers?
White supremacists and other like-minded groups have committed a majority of the terrorist attacks in the United States this year
Hope they fold next year, not even work the homeless use of toilet paper
bs, Antifa and BLM are behind them.
Lying bastards!!!
And that story has evaporated faster than water in the desert.
IF WSGs were really the threat the Leftwing media is claiming there'd be stories on them in the news every night. That there aren't any is telling.
Im guessing I dont get to see this list of 41 events?
The group in Michigan was far left oriented, not right.
DHS is FOS.
yep...and that’s probably why the story disappeared.
It disappeared because it was a left-wing plot: Nolte: WaPo Buries News BLM Supporter Allegedly Tied to Gov. Whitmer Kidnap Plot

“In October 2020, the FBI arrested Adam Fox, Barry Croft, and several other accomplices in a plot to kidnap and potentially execute Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.”
“The report also assessed that anarchists and other individuals inspired by anti-government and anti-authority ideologies posed a threat. But it did not provide 2020 data. The Federal Bureau of Investigation similarly argued that the top threat we face from domestic violent extremists is from racially- and ethnically-motivated violent extremists, including white supremacists.4 Nevertheless, FBI officials have not publicly released their data, making it difficult for U.S. civilians to judge the degree and type of threat.”
“To help fill this gap, this analysis provides new data on the domestic terrorist threat in the United States. It asks several questions. What are the main trends in domestic terrorism in 2020 in such areas as terrorist motivation, tactics, and targets? How did 2020 compare to previous years? To answer these questions, THE AUTHORS CONSTRUCTED A DATA SET of terrorist attacks and plots in the United States from January 1, 2020 to August 31, 2020, which updated a broader CSIS data set of terrorist incidents in the United States from 1994 to 2020.”
“The rest of this report is divided into three sections. The first defines terrorism and differentiates this reports focus on terrorism from other phenomena, such as hate crimes and riots. The second section outlines and analyzes the 2020 terrorism data. The third explores future developments, including the potential for violence after the 2020 presidential election.”
“Targets and Tactics: The increase in protests and political rallies over the summer of 2020 resulted in notable changes in targets and weapons adopted by violent far-left and far-right extremists.
Actors of both orientations targeted demonstrators in a large percentage of their attacks.24 Demonstrators were the primary targets of far-right terroristsin 50 percent of attacks and plotsincluding attacks from white supremacists and others who opposed the Black Lives Matter movement. For example, on May 30 Brandon McCormick threatened Black Lives Matter protesters in Salt Lake City, Utah, with a knife and a loaded compound bow while shouting racial slurs.25 As in previous years, violent far-right extremists frequently targeted government, military, and police targets (18 percent of incidents) and private individuals based on race, gender, and other factors (18 percent of incidents).”
It appears that report’s data defined any kook attacking anything other than himself was a extreme right-winger unless said person wore a name tag that said “I’m a left-wing extremist.”
Who are they? Where are they? Give us a LOOK at what they have done...like the look at what the LEFT has done.
You are batting at windmills, Jenny.
Show us the pictures...like the ones we already have of your friends in Antifa.
So basically BLM and Antifa get discarded from the statistics because they are “riots or hate crimes.”
Then they turn around and count the one where a white guy was at a BLM riot in Utah and became violent.
Criteria and examples seems oddly non-specifically specific.
Indeed. A lot tortured data manipulation to create the report they wanted, not the one that reflects reality.
