Violence is all the rage once again with the left. Antifa is beating and smashing their way across America with impugnity – not to mention active encouragement by the legacy media. Meanwhile, despite leftist gibbering about “right-wing violence”, America’s law enforcement is well aware where the real threat lies.
With liberals sounding the alarm about a supposed revival of white supremacy, a leaked report suggests that the FBI is actually more concerned about left-wing extremists.
The FBI’s 2018-2019 Consolidated Strategy Guide, an annual summary of the agency’s security priorities, was released Thursday by The Young Turks, a leftist media network. According to the internal report, the FBI is worried about an “elevated” and possibly “growing threat” from “black identity extremists,” or “BIEs.”
A rise in racialized attacks on law enforcement officials first came to the FBI’s attention following the 2014 shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and the subsequent acquittal of the officers involved, the report said…The FBI in part blamed black anti-law enforcement violence on heavy media coverage of police brutality.
Yet, as is so often the case, the legacy media are shrieking that up is down, war is peace, and freedom is slavery. The entire Black Lives Matter movement is, as Jim Goad has said, “moored in lies and rampaging innumeracy”.
When it comes to the supposed scourge of white supremacy, by contrast, the FBI identified only a “medium threat.” The agency noted that white supremacist groups are in longterm decline and predicted that their membership will continue to fall throughout 2020…Also flagged as security threats were “animal rights” and “environmental extremists,” along with Islamist terrorists and abortion extremists.
But, just like “Russiagate”, the legacy media simply cannot and will not, admit that their Big Lie is just so much b.s. So they resort to their favourite tactic: when caught out lying, just blame “racism”.
Ken Klippenstein, the Young Turks writer who released the FBI report, suggested that it proves that the agency is targeting black Americans and not taking white supremacy seriously enough… “they do not cite a single specific attack”.
It’s apparently too much for Klippenstein to trouble himself with easily-found, documented instances like these, these or these.
But, hey, even taking notice of black violence is apparently “racist”.
Soon after the FBI completed the 2018 report, it abandoned the term “black identity extremists,” which some Democrats had deemed racist. But Democrats again complained when the FBI dropped “white supremacy” from its official lexicon as well.
The often-trumpeted “study” claiming that “white right-wingers” are “a greater threat than Islamic terrorists” is typical leftist smoke-and-mirrors, easily debunked. Meanwhile, the FBI is dealing with actual, left-wing extremist crimes – and the left keep lying about them.
Democrats and liberal activists have only grown more agitated about white supremacy […] At the same time, Democrats and journalists have often downplayed incidents of violence by left-wing extremists, including a mass shooting in Dayton, Ohio, just hours after the El Paso massacre.

Not to mention the terrorist firebomb attack, not long before, by an Antifa activist.
At the risk of breaching Godwin’s Law, it pays to recall William L. Shirer’s account of Germany’s violent Anschluss annexation of Austria. As Shirer recounts, while Nazi brownshirts ran amok in the streets, police stood by, watching and smiling. As left-wing zealots grow increasingly violent in the US, and the media, left-wing politicians and too many authorities, stand by in more-or-less active complicity, America’s spiral into violence is not going to end well, either.
