Federal security agencies have increasingly sounded the alarm on white supremacists and other far-right-wing extremists as a "significant domestic terrorism threat.

"It's given right-wing extremism an environment to thrive and grow."

"We better understand this is a clear and present danger to American democracy,"

"The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a nonprofit policy research organization, found that alleged right-wing attacks and plots have accounted for the majority of all U.S. terrorist incidents since 1994."

    Time and time again these idiots shoot their mouths off about right-wing extremism before doing any research on the subject. Every time it has been a socialist / leftist doing the evil. Fools they are… More importantly are the fools that read their headlines and go on believing that the “extremist right-wingers” are responsible and that “they” must defend our democracy.

    Two words --> Useful idiots

    From his manifesto:
    - An admission that he is is “authoritarian left wing.”
    - When I was 12 I was deep into communism ideology.

    I'm a 70 year old white guy and I have yet to meet a dyed-in-the-wool white supremacist. That doesn't mean there aren't any, but I've seen more supremacists of the black kind spewing hate towards white people on TV than the white ones.

    This "white supremacy" crap lately is no more than a deflection away from the real causes of America's problems and the Neo Communist narrative causing them. For example, white supremacists are not murdering people of color in virtually every major American city.

    Unspecified "Experts" again.
    MSN can be counted on only for misinformation and outright lies.
    Truckload of dung spewed from neocon deep state propagandists masquerading as unbiased independent non-profits.
    Nothing they publish can be trusted and is all but guaranteed to be deep state propaganda.

    Who funds these so-called CSIS "experts?"
    Per wikipedia:
    "CSIS released a list of foreign state donors, listing 13 governments including those of Germany and China.[35] CSIS lists major funding from defense contractors such as Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, General Dynamics, and General Atomics.
    Significant funding has come from the governments of Japan, Taiwan, and the United Arab Emirates."

    Their Board of Trustees is a who's who of deep state insiders, neocons, and government tools.

      "Their Board of Trustees is a who's who of deep state insiders, neocons, and government tools." Thanks for the link. I wouldn't trust some of those people to help me across the street even if there was no traffic at all.

    I am so done with black entitlement. I dont even want to interact with blacks anymore, and I was never that way. They can just stay away from me at this point.

    At some point Rand Paul and others will state: Name names of these white supremacists." Until that happens it is simply political rhetoric. If people are identified their response will be "prove it" - followed by the sounds of silence.

    I know anarchists, socialists, communists, libertarians, moderate republicans and religious republicans. I am gregarious and know thousands of people, hundreds very well. I do not know a single person who subscribes to racial prejudice.

    I'm sure they exist, just like people who are afraid to leave homes due to fear of aliens, in about the same numbers. I am dead sure there are fewer of them, than reverse racists/genderists/etc..

    I guess I am the odd one out who has encountered extremely racist white people! I won't go into the details... But KNOW that I feel I have met far more racist people of color!

    Now, for the fun part. A new hire (black male) was hired. As it turned out, he would have to potentially service a Racists company. he was instructed to NOT TOLERATE any of it, and if he desired, easily extricate himself, and call US to deal with things.

    Later, in a lawsuit, he sighted THAT conversation as PROOF we were, in fact, racists and created a dangerous work environment. LUCKILY the Judge LAUGHED at it... The judge RIGHTFULLY said "if they had said nothing, or gave you the OPPOSITE instructions I MIGHT entertain your conversation... But they made it clear they don't tolerate it, and you should not either... Please explain how that makes them racist?"

    True to form, he replied "I felt they were only saying that b/c the color of my skin"
    I was simply shell-shocked. You see the problem. If you DEAL with the issue, then it's only because you're racist. If you leave it alone, you are racist for not dealing with it. And if/when the offended person feels offended, then you are racist.

    To be clear. In grade school. I honestly did not know there was a difference, it wasn't how we were raised, and I had plenty of friends that were different: Asian, fat, skinny, black, brown. (Don't worry, by the time Middle School hit, I had my life threatened for saying hello to an old grade school friend... When he was among his "new" (thug-life?) friends. And he referred to me with a racial slur).

    It took me HOURS to realize... Oh, we are no longer the same people we were. He sees me differently now.

    This is just more of the same divisive crap.

      The consensus on the left is that only whites are capable of racism. Corn pop was a bad dude but he wasn't a racist. That has about as much truth as when Joe said he was going to heal the country and bring us all together. Hate is hate no matter what label is put on it.

        Yeah, I remember "The Polar Bear Game"
        where young black men would sucker punch some middle aged white guy. They killed a few.

        And it was determined NOT to be a hate crime.
        But, then again, they RENAMED the game, because the name KINDA IMPLIED it was racial targeting.

          In my life I've been beaten twice by blacks who didn't like white people, slapped by blacks who didn't like white people, spit on by blacks who didn't like white people, and asked to leave a restaurant because white people weren't allowed there after a certain time of night (I had been there many times during the day). However, I've had many good interactions with blacks and I will not judge those people by the actions of the evil ones.

            ABSOLUTELY...
            My point was kinda proving that we avoid painting with the same brush, even when it is obvious. That's bad. Evil is evil, regardless the color of the skin of the perpetrator or victim!

      In 1977 ish – I had a friend, Jason, who happened to be black as well… Very similar situation where I was a sheep among wolfs and I had no idea. We were playing a game of Sorry on his front porch when he demanded something returned, I forget what it was and its unimportant. The point is as a child I called him an “Indian Giver”, oh my god, he thought it was a racial slur and went into major victim mode. He ran to my house and had to inform my parents that I was a racist SOB. LOL

      The mindset is instilled early and for a long time, I can’t image it would have subsided so easily now because I’m sure someone of Indian descent would have stood up and say, “Hey wait, that is a racial sure to Indians”.

    The flaw, or deliberate lie in the statistics about right wing terrorism is that the agencies have consistently failed to characterize the far more numerous left wing acts of violence as terrorist, excusing them as "protests."

    Washington Establishment is increasingly under control of black racists who are educated in the public school and indoctrinated in the university, to believe that everything is the blame of "White Supremacists."

    Republicans (Marshmallow Mitchie Boy) are scared to death to oppose. They are gung-ho against Russia because Russians are white.

    HA! Here is the culprit! Everything wrong with USA is Putins fault!

    This is what pisses me off!..Extreme right wing is actually people that advocate NO GOVERNMENT AT ALL! But of course, everything far left is far right...they have created a world that is ass backwards and upside down.

    Terrorism, fascism, tyranny, marxism etc is all far left.

    America was intended to be "slightly right of center...just enough government to protect one's borders and rights guaranteed by the constitution and that is it!....It takes responsibility and good morals and ethics to keep it that way but as we know, The Great Unwashed has always been attracted to power and corruption...I guess that's why we call the worlds governments Kakistocracy's.

    anytime people voice concerns about "dangers to our democracy", I know they are full of it and just trying to further some leftist agenda.

    Let's see now: if a white person moves into a minority neighborhood, that's gentrification, an act of white supremacy to show their wealth; if they leave a neighborhood that's become predominantly minority occupied, that's white flight, an act of white supremacy showing they don't want to live with minority neighbors; private school for their kids, white supremacy; home schooling, white supremacy; not calling out racism, white supremacy, in sympathy with the racists; calling out racist acts, white supremacy, patronizing minorities. Conclusion: if you're white, you're a racist supremacist, no excuses.

        Unfortunately we will continue to do what we have been doing….keeping our mouths shut, being afraid of being called racist, and going to work so that we can pay taxes, which enables others to sit on their butts and call us extremists.
