The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States.
The study, which was conducted by the National Institute of Justice and hosted on a DOJ website was available there at least until September 12, 2025, according to an archive of the page saved by the Wayback Machine. Daniel Malmer, a PhD student studying online extremism at UNC-Chapel Hill, first noticed the paper was deleted.
“The Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs is currently reviewing its websites and materials in accordance with recent Executive Orders and related guidance,” reads a message on the page where the study was formerly hosted. “During this review, some pages and publications will be unavailable. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.”
Shortly after Donald Trump took office he issued an executive order that forced government agencies to scrub their sites of any mention of “diversity,” “gender,” “DEI,” and other “forbidden words” and perceived notions of “wokeness.” The executive order impacted every government agency, including NASA, and was a huge waste of engineers’ time. We don’t know why the study about far-right extremist violence was removed recently, but it comes immediately after the assassination of conservative personality Charlie Kirk, accusations from the administration that the left is responsible for most of the political violence in the country, and a renewed commitment from the administration to crack down on the “radical left.” “For years, those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world's worst mass murderers and criminals,” Trump said in a speech after Kirk’s death. “This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we're seeing in our country today, and it must stop right now. My administration will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity and to other political violence, including the organizations that fund it and support it.”
Elon Musk, who owns X, recently tweeted that he was going to “fix” the platform’s AI assistant Grok after it cited research that showed right-wing violence was more common than left-wing violence: “My apologies, we are fixing this cringe idiocy by Grok,” he said. Vice President JD Vance, who guest hosted Kirk’s podcast on Monday, also vowed to go after “growing and powerful minority on the far left.”
“Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists, including 227 events that took more than 520 lives,” the study said. “In this same period, far-left extremists committed 42 ideologically motivated attacks that took 78 lives.” The DOJ did not immediately respond to our request for comment. Steven Chermak, one of the study’s co-authors, declined to comment.
Is your first question a rhetorical question?
I saw that last paragraph on the other thread, and saved it. Excellent.
Since Hitler attacked the Soviet Union. They liked him before that.
If you could look at the files, I'll bet most of the research was done by those two groups.
“Funny, I thought 9/11 happened after 1990.”
For the Religion of Peace, they don’t count because we will never know their motives.
For trannys, they don’t count because we will never know their motives.
For far lefties, they don’t count because we will never know their motives.
And when was this study conducted? Maybe I’ll take a wild guess and say under The Big Guy...or Osama Obama.
Few, if any of the political assassinations in my lifetime in Chicago are included in any list.
It would help if we define terms.
Left: The Left is for more government.
Right: The Right is for less government. eg DOGE is Right.
It would help if we defined those in power vs those not in power. In Chicago those in power assassinated Herb Geisler, Ben Lewis, Fred Hampton, Mark Clark, Mike Baretto and many others were all assassinated by the Chicago Dem machine. Some of those assassinated were to the “left” of the machine. Some were to the “right” of the machine. The distinguishing feature is that members of the Dem machine felt threatened by them.
The ATF approached me in 1981 and asked me to set up a Puerto Rican who everyone knew was pumping gas at his brother’s gas station in the Puerto Rican neighborhood. I refused to get involved. Since the target was out in the open, I can only speculate that the assasination needed a fall guy. My being right wing and the Puerto Rican being Nationalist made me a plausible fall guy.
This is using an evil tactic. It is a common tactic of the demonic Left called “Deflecting Accountability”: The main purpose of the tactic is to shift blame and avoid responsibility for one’s own actions. In this case it accuses their Right Wing opponents of engaging in actions of they hate. It is to make them into hypocrites. The confusion it creates is a political warfare move that make their opponents doubt their own position. Confuse them enough, and they’ll lose control of their argument.
Interesting and well written post.
That is just phenomenally disgusting. I still can’t believe that filthy scumbag had the temerity to say “Oh, look what I found on the beach!”
Comey is mentally ill.
The left believes it. They’ve been regurgitating in everywhere including saying Kirk’s shooter was a Republican.
They get all of their facts and data from liars.
Sure they did because it was a politically motivated lie by the Biden regime
List all the politically motivated crimes for the last 10 years. Even if you accept the very weak definition of it the Alt Left uses, about 95% of violent political acts in the last 10 years have been done by Political Leftists.
They’re underlying data is “trust me bro”
I guarantee they also included the Branch Davidians. Anti-government means right wing, right?
Leftists think they know it all, however, they’re dumb as rocks and have no common sense or critical thinking skills. That’s what makes them dangerous.
Definitely barf alert.
The left will. What the right believes does not matter.
