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.
Eerily similar down to the same starting date and exact same figures as this study written by a woman, Celinet Duran.
The whole thing is suspect cause it includes the Kyle Rittenhouse incident as right wing homicide. Also, no database included so we can see what the author classifies as right and left wing. Most of her sources seem to be articles from NYT, Atlantic, Guardian and Fox News.
I remember Washington Post published something based on this one study put out by a left-wing think tank about five years ago. I don’t remember where it was, but they were listing various cop-killings as having been “right-wing” when it was very dubious, and even a few domestic violence killings as right-wing because the perp was conservative. And of course, 9/11 didn’t count because it was too big and would skew the numbers. I’m going to see if I can find that again.
The ADL has similar tracking. Every killing by the Aryan Brotherhood in jail is indicated in their data as a right-wing killing. In other words, they found a way to shoehorn gang violence into “rightwing” to falsify their results.

... and there are a lot of little tweaks they use to get the outcome they desired. For instance, all the "random and baffling" black-on-white (and asian, and Jewish, etc) crimes are not counted as terrorism, not listed at all, but of course, as you have noticed, if the hate crime is white-on-black, it counts.
They also list all white supremacists and women-hating incels as "right-wing." But why? What makes them right wing? I understand the anti-government and anti-abortion groups being considered right-wing, but how is an incel who hates women a champion of lower taxes, states rights, and a controlled border?
By the way, when I say “has been referenced,” I mean in general, like when you Google this topic, not by the article at the top of the thread.

The gaslighting about political violence ends right here. This clip says it all.

Fake NGO stats can’t cover up what people can see with their own two eyes.
Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment
https://fas.org/irp/eprint/rightwing.pdf
The passage said, “Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.”
The Tenth Amendment to the Constitution says, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
List and number the incidents side-by-side. Show the receipts.
Hard to believe the Mockingbird Media never reported on these hundreds of rightwing attacks.
If they had I could remember at least one.
Because the study was filled with more holes than Swiss cheese.
In other words a study funded by George Soros
Yup
