Biden crusade against 'domestic extremism' spurs thousands of FBI probes, fears of a police state
Washington Times ^ | Nov 6, 2021 | By Joseph Clark

Posted on 11/06/2021 3:55:22 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

The FBI currently has 2,700 open investigations of domestic extremism, more than double the usual number of cases, according to counterterrorism officials, underscoring the Biden administration’s accelerated pursuit of what it calls “domestic violent extremists.”

The increase in domestic violent extremism described by the Biden administration is shocking, suggesting that the number of plots and racially-motivated killings attributed to white supremacists has also multiplied. So far, the administration has not presented those sorts of numbers.

The Department of Homeland Security recorded an average of 1,000 investigations into domestic terrorism plots and incidents per year from 2017 through 2019, including approximately 846 arrests of suspected domestic terrorists by the FBI and other agencies, according to a DHS report.

The agencies attributed 57 deaths from 2017 through 2019 to acts of domestic terrorism, of which 47 were racially motivated and primarily carried out by white supremacists, according to the report.

“It goes without saying that the threat from domestic terrorism is heightened and has significantly increased in the last 18 months,” FBI Counterterrorism Division Assistant Director Timothy Langan said in recent testimony before Congress.

In the wake of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, the Biden administration redoubled efforts to counter the threat of “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists” which the DHS describes as a “national threat priority.”

There are also growing concerns, however, that the hunt for domestic extremists has become politically charged and that a once-unthinkable authoritarian trampling of civil liberties in the U.S. is becoming a reality.

“The Project Veritas raid over a lost diary has taken it up another notch.”

I agree. That was a purely political hit job.

There was a time when I’d be glad to help the FBI, but now I wouldn’t give them the time of day. They have jumped into the Deep State with both feet.

The fascists are winning. The goal is total destruction of our way of life. Hope for America is fading.

The hippies were saying this in 1968. Now it's their turn to run the machine.

The FBI and the #JihadJunta have dossiers on all of the GOPeahen 13. That’s why (in my estimation) they voted for the Payola Pact. They are no longer lawmen, they are enforcers.

They are now fully focused on suppressing all legitimate domestic political opposition. They are criminals and would do well to remember German citizens walking freely in Stasi HQ and rifling through their files. Informers would also do well to remember that.

It’ll happen to them someday just like it happens to all secret police in dictatorships.

“It goes without saying”?

That passes for evidence these days.

No fears. Just a police state.

This is a very vexing question:

Who has more felons, the FBI or Fed prisons?

Maybe look at those crossing into our country illegally. Terrorists being given bus rides all over our country.

But then F-troop would be going up against urban sociopaths and not against 60 year old good citizens who just resent a stolen election.

I remember seeing pamphlets back in 1968-1970 warning us of an attempt to establish a Federal Police Force over the US.

The Biden administration has spent 10 months weaponizing the Federal Government. Biden ... or his backer is now a position now to assume the throne.

Most terrorist-like attacks in New York city were done by blacks against whites, Asians/Americans, some Jews and older women in general. I guess they don’t count as “terroristic type” attacks, according to the Federal Bureau of Incompetence and Political Corruption.

Let’s ask the surviving victims what they think about that!

Tyrants tend to become paranoid and lash out at their perceived enemies. Brandon knows he’s over his head, knows he is not fit for the job, knows deep down that he is a liar and fraud.

Biden’s Building Back what he thinks is Better on ‘moral ruins’ he and his party have enacted across our nation. These changes will never work - impossible.

Some blanked up stuff in that diary. The Bidens are very strange.

I wonder the number of black-on-black deaths the feds 'investigate'?

I wonder who the secondary ‘carriers’ were?
