Former NYPD Commissioner: ‘Citizens of the US’ Now Biggest Terror Threat
PJ Media ^ | JANUARY 16, 2021 | Robert Spencer

Posted on 01/16/2021 4:36:32 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

Former New York City police commissioner Bill Bratton told Shepard Smith Friday that “for the last 20 years our biggest concern was international terrorism — ISIS, Al Qaeda,” but “now it’s here and it’s us, and it’s the citizens of the United States, some of whom are rebelling against everything we thought we believed in for the last 300 to 400 years.” (Apparently Bratton subscribes to the 1619 Project, which dates America’s founding not from 1776, but from 1619, so as to add on 150 extra years of slavery and oppression.) And Bratton wasn’t alone: his analysis of the “far-right” threat is the latest establishment media narrative.

Former FBI director James Comey joined in the fun. Asked by a British broadcaster if he thought “far-right extremism in the US” was “a greater danger to the country than Islamist terrorism,” Comey answered in the affirmative, and added: “The threat has slowly risen as Donald Trump and those around him have withdrawn the control rods. America has always had a radioactive stew of racist conspiracy-minded misogynist people oriented towards violence. We’ve always had that in this country. But we’ve managed over generations to contain it inside a containment building as you would with a nuclear waste pile and put control rods down into it which we’re cultural. And that calmed the radiation. And over the last five years Donald Trump and those around him have pulled the rods out with signals and dog whistles and sometimes explicitly”

A former Homeland Security Department counterterrorism official, Nate Snyder, likewise also affirmed Friday that the biggest terror threat the nation faces today comes from “violent white supremacists, neo-Nazis, sovereign citizens, militia movements.”

If you keep telling the people that they are your enemy, they might start believing you.

It was mostly WWII vets because they got drafted.

Once the draft ended things changed.

If they in the government were not actively working AGAINST us, maybe we wouldn’t be here.

Then I would ask them, ‘how many terrorist attacks came from citizens versus non citizens? “

The Las Vegas shooting was the only thing that tips the scales against citizens besides the Oklahoma bombing. The thing is, those two incidents were at the opposite ends of the ideology scale, libtard shooting conservatives vs. ultraconservative blowing up statist libtards.

Bratton....Comey....Snyder....all three of these dirtbags are worthless, lying, pieces of $hit.

If they want to see true threats to the American people these a**holes should gaze into the nearest mirror.

Half of the neo Nazis and white supremacists are at least FBI informants if not undercover agents.

This is what happens when the small group of elites and government attack the rest of America. The American Establishment has lost the “Mandate of Heaven” and they are soon to be out of power.

"If they were really scared of us...they would be kissing our butts and would never call us out."

The establishment is not "kissing our butts" because they have grown so arrogant over time that they think that they can rule without the consent of the American people. There is an ancient Greek saying "Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad." - Euripides (Greek dramatist 484-406 BC).

Our "bettors" have hubris, a divine madness that comes in the form of excessive pride and a feeling of being beyond danger. They will be proven wrong.

< "Not sure what they're scared of"

The establishment is rightfully afraid of Americans. The only thing that is delaying the massive and inevitable blowback for their crime is that this is the first time that the establishment in this country has perpetrated this crime against the American people in such and "in your face and f**k you" manner. It is taking time for the American people to realize what has happened. When the election steal becomes obvious and undeniable to the majority of Americans, there will be hell to pay.

Yesterday, I just so happened to upload a vanity post...same topic. I thought you might find it of interest in light of this article you have posted:

America’s “War on Terror” Is Going to Morph into the “War on Domestic Terror” (Vanity)

RE: The Las Vegas shooting

Eyewitness accounts disagree with the official story, especially reports of two shooters. The guy was apparently a gun dealer who got killed by the buyers.

That’s very smart of you to notice. I believe they want to eliminate all white-European, Christian people. This is why they flood Europe as well as CAN, AUS, USA, with all manner of 3rd world incompatible peoples. Never mind that Europeans are the indigenous people of Europe living in their homelands, they get no protection.

So like the prewritten, phoney, unread tome called Patriot Act was about destroying liberty, freedom and privacy for American citizens and nothing to do with terrorism, the phoney War on Terrorism just becomes War on Domestic Terrorism. Those labelled Domestic Terrorists are those who want the CONSTITUTION upheld. I think you are right.

Never posted it, but I am long since tired of “China! China! China!” Overnight the chant started, and it is too much a replacement for “Russia! Russia! Russia!” Might as well cry “Marcia! Marcia! Marcia!” Yuck. The Uniparty is simply pushing the (gag) narrative to bring about their WWIII that will produce Antichrist (faked 4-corner Armageddon). Who was that, Albert Pike? Pike did not predict 3 WW’s, he mapped them out.

I voted for Trump. The District of Criminals has declared me guilty of WrongThink and WrongVote. Now today my label is “domestic terrorist” according to these people. Okay. Be Careful What You Wish For.

LMAO. Every “leader” in libbieland is corrupt - either bribed with carrots (money, power, fame), or threatened with sticks (blackmail over their criminal acts).
