The "real threat from (the) "Baseless" American Terrorists

The "real threat from (the) "Baseless" American Terrorists:

First, to familiarize yourself with the issue I suggest that you read the article:
'It is serious and intense'. white supremacist domestic terror threat looms large in US: (Ed Pilkington,The Guardian•October 18, 2020)

Here are some snippets from that article:
"On 6 October Chad Wolf, the acting secretary of homeland security, released his department’s annual assessment of violent threats to the nation. Analysts didn’t have to dig deep into the assessment to discover its alarming content.

In a foreword, Wolf wrote that he was “particularly concerned about white supremacist violent extremists who have been exceptionally lethal in their abhorrent, targeted attacks in recent years. [They] seek to force ideological change in the United States through violence, death, and destruction.”...


...“racially and ethnically motivated violent extremists” have become the “primary source of ideologically-motivated lethal incidents” in the US. The danger overshadowed the jihadist threat that has dominated the security debate since 9/11.

Last year was the deadliest on record for domestic extremist violence since the Oklahoma City bombing of 1995. White supremacists were responsible for most of that bloodshed in 2019 – 39 out of 48 deaths, including 23 people who died at the hands of an anti-Hispanic racist in El Paso, Texas, and a Jewish worshiper murdered at Poway Synagogue in California."...

..."Trump has issued calls to arms to domestic terrorist groups during pandemic lockdowns in Democratic-controlled states. In April his cry of “Liberate Michigan!” was interpreted by militant groups as an invitation to storm the state capitol with their weapons."...


..."The tacit approval they have received from the Trump administration has rendered them far more effective and dangerous."
..."Among local police forces, the pattern is less likely to be infiltration of far-right groups by officers than the other way round – extremists are inveigling themselves into police forces."...
"With eighty three hours of exclusive secret audio recordings Part One goes inside their “Vetting Room.” We expose their methods of recruiting deliberately from the U.S. military, the ways they encourage terroristic behavior, and their expressions of paranoia. It’s also about one reporter who infiltrated their group and a network strategizing for the collapse of America.

“Getting Out" Part 1 And Part 2:
“Getting Out” begins with the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017. But this isn’t about that white supremacist rally – it’s about a woman named Samantha, who worked behind the scenes to support this violent alt-right march. This episode leads us through the story of how Samantha became the women’s coordinator of Identity Evropa, a white nationalist group, and why she decided she had to get out.

"Part II takes Samantha’s story from the privacy of chatrooms to the corridors of power. What was the cost of her neo-Nazi separatist views? How did she contribute to the spread of deadly lies? And why did she decide to get out?"
