Feds now say right-wing extremists responsible for majority of deadly terrorist attacks last year
Yahoo! “News” ^ | February 19, 2022 | Jana Winter

The U.S. government is acknowledging for the first time that right-wing extremists were responsible for the majority of fatal domestic terrorist attacks last year, according to an internal report circulated by the Department of Homeland Security last week and obtained by Yahoo News.

A review of last year’s domestic terrorist incidents by a DHS fusion center — which shares threat-related information between federal, state and local partners — found that although civil unrest and antigovernment violence were associated with “non-affiliated, right-wing and left-wing actors, right-wing [domestic violent extremists] were responsible for the majority of fatal attacks in the Homeland in 2020.”

...

While independent think tanks and outside groups have been pointing to the rise in ring-wing violence for some time, this appears to be the first known instance of an official government or law enforcement agency clearly acknowledging the trend, though senior officials have noted the rise in white supremacist attacks. The report also comes not long after the end of the Trump administration, which was criticized for downplaying right-wing violence.

Former President Donald Trump, in particular, frequently referred to the threat from antifa, a loose movement of left-wing activists.

“The government has not said this publicly, law enforcement has not said this publicly,” said Seth Jones of the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank. “This is new.”

The findings about right-wing extremism are “consistent with every single assessment of data I’ve seen, not just in 2020 but in 2019,” Jones said after reviewing the fusion center report.

In October of last year, CSIS published its own analysis of domestic terrorist activity in the U.S. for the first eight months of 2020. Its data showed that white supremacists and other right-wing extremists conducted two-thirds of the terrorist plots and attacks in the nation during that period.

I want specific dates and events, not some general right-wing nonsense. Give me specifics. Also, if still going for the unity thing, then by all means, lets see the feds catalog of left-wing extremist deaths and damages.

This is all PolPot, Joe Stalin-esque. Next they will be deamoinizing people who wear glasses. And no doubt it will be anyone who holds that the Bible is the Word of God, including passages regarding abortion and homosexuality.

Yes, true. The explosion came from BELOW the street level— blowing OPEN AND OUT the basement to sidewalk (metal doors) freight elevators. Those doors were blown AWAY (off up and away from the sidewalk openings, and thrown more than 200 feet The blast did not originate in the camper. The camper had a lesser charge in it.

But— we are still not able to have the FULL report viewable from the... Efinng BEE EYE who blocked the entire case out of any public release. Except an occasional “oops” that let it out from the Nashville PD. Serious cover up of some kind of operation— whether white hat or black hat inside the derp state. The AT&T building was a NSA ‘long lines” site- stated as such by the Nashville PD! oops. fibbies freaked.

The only truth that might be in this article is that many anarchists/chaos activists are hiding in both left/right protest groups because they provide cover for their activities.

Lets see the data on RW deaths.

They'll just manufacture data and claim it to be true, and the fake media will dutifully report it as if it were true without following up on it. We know the FBI and DOJ (and CIA, etc.) are untrustworthy after the "Muh Russia" BS, so there is no reason to believe this nonsense.

My guess is they’ll cite the supposed plot uncovered in —
was it Michigan?— to kidnap the governor. Those people were designated as RW though their beliefs were all over the place. Also the covid crises probably triggered a few things, no doubt attributed to RW agitators.

They’re spiking the punch bowl to get people in the proper frame of mind for when Kamilla Vanilla starts.

I fear this may become a pretext for them to seize property.

No specifics.

Just a blanket accusation.

More gaslighting.

Yes, it’s always better to just say what you think in the public square with witnesses and never chat anything in email or on phone with people.

Is easy.

If there is a "terrorist" attack, by definition it is "right wing".

For example, all Muslim attacks are "right wing" because fundamentalist Muslims are defined as "conservative" by the Media.

Attacks by Blacks against white people are not "terrorism" they are "crime".

Paul Joseph Goebbels appears to be alive and well and now working for the Department of Homeland Security. The common belief is, that on May 1, 1945, Paul Joseph Goebbels and his wife committed suicide, after poisoning their six children with cyanide.

But something survived, and the bombastic propaganda for which the Third Reich was so renowned has been revived and put to good use by the current regime now in power in Washington, DC.

The drumbeat of the Big Lie just echoes down through the halls of Congress and the White House even today.

The Nashville bomber guy believed in three groups of aliens: Grays, Reptilians, and Insectoids. He said the ones who want to control us are the Reptilians. You can't make this sh** up! Yep, sure sounds like a right wing follower of Levin, Carlson, and Rush.
