Don't worry Americans, I'm sure the CIA, MI6, and Mossad have got your backs

The new advisory updated a January alert following the attack on the U.S. Congress by supporters of then-President Donald Trump, when DHS said the country faced "increasingly complex and volatile" threats from anti-government and racially motivated extremists, often stirred up by online influence from abroad.

Absolutely true. The ever-more dangerous far-right, pro-Trump movement in the US has become the primary threat to our democracy. They share the same goals, ideology, and tactics as the Islamic fundamentalsits....to snuff out democratic institutions and values through use of violence and terror, to create an authoritarian one-party rule religious-themed government - just like you see in the Middle East, China, Russia, and increasingly Eastern Europe...

There's a reason Fox allowed Tucker Carlson to go to Hungary and fawn all over Viktor Orban - MAGA-world loves dictators and tyrants...

On Sep 11th 2001 the Al-Qaeda terrorists planned, but failed, to attack our Capitol....on Jan 6th 2021 pro-Trump far-right domestic terrorists succeeded where Al Qaeda failed...

foreign terrorist organizations continue efforts to inspire U.S.-based individuals susceptible to violent extremist influences,"

The foreign organizations have long known which populations to try to inspire and rile up, these include; anti-government and racially motivated extremists (e.g Trump's Jan 6th insurrectionists, often stirred up by online influence from abroad (see China, Russia, Turkey and Iran) .And also within the country, look at Rupert Murdoch's outlets, among so many others catering to Trump's GQOP.

The Trump QGOP followers are loyal to their cult leader, they willingly give him money, but have long shown their disdain for the country and its institutions, and also show their disdain for their fellow citizens (recall: "I'd rather be Russian, than Democrat, and 'muh Russia)), they show disdain especially for American citizens who still believe in the democratic principles ensured by the Constitution.

That’s only rumor, fear mongering etc., not based on any validated facts. I see much more potential or already substantial threat from the new census data. lol

They should be more worried about the Trump Supporters

New terrorism threat as 911 anniversary getting near?

Some people with vested interests are purposely creating fears and instill them into the minds of public to distract people from nation's countless internal woes.

I see this as part of a wider scene: the disintegration of civilisation.

Terrorism and other such things, foreign and homegrown.

Huge scale attempts to create discord about vaccines.

As much of a cliché as it is, it really does feel like the forces of good and the forces of evil, and it's really not clear who's winning any more.

*The mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol may have been a fringe group of extremists, but politically motivated violence has the support of a significant share of the U.S. public, according to a new survey by the American Enterprise Institute. The survey found that nearly three in 10 Americans, *including 39% of Republicans, agreed that "if elected leaders will not protect America, the people must do it themselves, even if it requires violent actions."

BINGO! There's the threat right there, self-admitted and staring us right in the face.....

They’re not the only domestic terrorist group around, Antifa, NFAC militia, Black Panters, BLM, La Raza and many other groups, they’re all bad and all should be watched. You can’t denigrate one group of terrorists and overlook another group, that’s just not dealing with reality, I thought you deal with all of them or none of them equally, a threat is a threat and they all should be taken seriously.

Meanwhile back in the real world:

Top law enforcement officials say the biggest domestic terror threat comes from white supremacists.

I think it's the other way around.

Start with and focus on groups that have recently violently attacked government institutions and police (see Jan 6th) and have threatened to hang their political opponents (see Mike Pence Jan 6th) .

Especially when members and supporters of those groups refuse to believe US and 'western' government reports and instead believe reports coming from the Kremlin and elsewhere around the globe. and blindly follow a cult leader bent on further undermining US systems, while making himself richer. Trump's rabid QGOP members are the greatest danger to the US at the moment and they are heavily armed. Watch them closely!

Yeah, January 6th was labeled domestic terrorism from Trump supporters and the worst thing that ever happened in America. But the burning down of government building, burning or business, murders of federal employees, and so on by BLM and Antifa was labeled peaceful protests during the "Summer of Love". If you can't see the hypocrisy then you really need to come out from under your rock.

Ridiculous. A bunch of unarmed people being let in and walking around an empty room taking selfies are not going to take over a superpower. The media fakery regarding that is off the scale.

And the islamist threat is always there, there is no change in that.

Just more political propaganda.

Nobody thought these hysterical morons would, but didn’t your alternative media sources report them chanting ‘Hang Mike Pence’?

Was that fake news?

@Alfred murders of federal employees, and so on by BLM and Antifa 

I recall an alleged Antifa supporter was killed by the cops. Not the other way around,

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-54023227

Portland suspect shot dead by police during arrest

 A bunch of unarmed people

Who as the QGOP Senator from Wisconsin said were mostly white, i.e. not black, so there was little to worry about in the minds of White supremacist Trump-klan backers.

Not surprising rightist pro-gun supporters claiming any object can be a lethal weapon also claim a wild mob that used bear spray and violently attacked police with flag poles, now say the mob members were unarmed.

And the cop that died at the Capitol died of natural causes, that’s in the final coroners report

And there was an actual Capitol cop that died directly of a violent armed attack at the Capitol. on the same day of the attack, not later.

white cop killed by a black nationalist.

Totally memory holed- doesn’t fit narrative.

There is a reason the AQAP was unable to publish its Inspire magazine for over four years. Now, the USA's retrenchment and lack of leadership is enabling bad actors in the Middle East.

The biggest threat to America is from the right wing lunatics, the ones who attacked the Capitol, made their followers believe that donald would be reinstated on August 13 , spread disinformation about Covid-19 and the vaccines.

This bunch is responsible for killing more Americans than the Vietnam, Afghan campaigns and 9/11 combined.

Fortunately for America, the right wing lunatics might have bad intentions but lack the brains to succeed at anything.

Not a surprise since their leader is the biggest loser in America!!!

The danger is from the outside powers who take advantage of this brainless bunch and try to destroy American democracy!!!

And the left headed lunatics are just as bad, they’re just better organized than the right, I’ll give you that.

but lack the brains to succeed at anything.

and the left pat themselves on the backs when they do.

Not a surprise since their leader is the biggest loser in America!!!

He’s not their leader anymore than AOC, Thalib, Bush or Omar are the leaders of the radical left.

The danger is from the outside powers who take advantage of this brainless bunch and try to destroy American democracy!!!

Well, this WH is doing a good job on that. Can’t wait for the changing of the guard next year.

GD right, brother. Trumpism signals how the American experiment ends. When democracy is subverted by misinforming and conditioning a dissatisfied public.

The GOP has perfected the art of screwing the middle class and working class, and then getting Fox n' friends to convince lots of these people to believe that their woes were the fault of dangerous Mexicans and the socialistic far-left "Democrat" Party.

Fox/Limbaugh/Trump and the rest of the rightwing propaganda BS machine have done more to existentially screw over their own country (in the long-term) than any other force in American history. I feel sorry for the more feeble-minded sycophants who have been dragged in as unwitting worker ants to gaslight on the internet and social media.

Then why do they feel Trump is a political threat if the experiment was a failed bust? Usually when something is an abstract failure you leave in on the ground like some dirty trash collected under your shoe and yet, they worry.

When democracy is subverted

But in 2016 until last year subversion was acceptable? Why?

The GOP has perfected the art of screwing the middle class and working class,

Biden is the one that said to every blue collar vote for me and I won’t get rid of fossil fuels, and what does he do with the keystone, oil and natural gas, instead of keeping us energy dependent, he lied, got what he wanted and the working man got screwed and we are back to being a slave to the Middle East and soon to be slaves to China. Yeah, they won’t make that mistake next year.

and then getting Fox n' friends to convince lots of these people to believe that their woes were the fault of dangerous Mexicans and the socialistic far-left "Democrat" Party.

So the CBP is lying? The very people that patrol the border and do this for a living are lying? Even the video doesn’t lie, but according the Psaki, they’re coming for the free buffet special only.

Fox/Limbaugh/Trump and the rest of the rightwing propaganda BS machine have done more to existentially screw over

By informing all of them of the threat the left is with their toxic social policies, they sure did. The left are just angry that people are taking a stand against the racist CRT and other radical polices that this WH and big tech are trying to push on the nation.

None of those is on banned FBI terrorist lists.

No Domestic Terrorist Designation

Ok and you think anyone believes the FBI after what they did over the last 4 years? You can believe them, that’s your right and my right is as well as others don’t believe them. They FBI never defined or outlined which specific group, the intent or names of the leadership, even with the gangs we know, but with the other white nationalist groups we don’t. Just lump them in as a monolithic group. Funny, during 8 years of Obama and nothing and now they just pop up and are a threat, just like that? Ok, you can believe that if you want. Lol.
