The Democrat Party apparatchik media and the Biden Administration are emphasizing the threat of “right-wing extremists” and “white supremacists” which they say poses the greatest domestic terrorist threat our nation faces. How did they reach such a conclusion? Through manipulation of data and downplaying real threats, plus conflating white supremacist groups with right-wing groups. But even with manipulated statistics, their own data shows the real threat to the homeland is from left-wing groups.
“The threat from domestic terrorists has grown in recent years, and – per the Center for Strategic and International Studies – white supremacists were responsible for two-thirds of all terror plots and attacks in 2020,” stated a report from Politico this week. Notice how easily Politico, and the study it cites, conflates white supremacists with the so-called “right-wing” groups. The report explained that the Department of Homeland Security was prioritizing tracking these “terror” groups because of the threat they pose. Politico says that the “Trump White House largely downplayed the threat from white supremacists as the president instead tweeted ceaselessly about Antifa.” The fallacy of that conclusion is that the Trump administration prevented some of the attacks used to inflate the statistical threat of right-wing groups.
This is another political scam designed to scare and divide the nation. The actual statistics and the methodology were cooked by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) to support the desired political conclusion. As deplorable as white supremacists are, they do not pose nearly as great a threat as left-wing extremists, even according to the flawed statistics used in the study.
In fact, a closer look shows that CSIS really had to strain to make it appear as though “white supremacists” are the threat they claim. For example, hundreds of stores that were looted during Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots were left off the list of terror attacks, thus making the left-wing appear less threatening.
Included in the category of “white supremacy” terror was a Latino man named Armando Hernandez Jr. Hernandez shot two women and a man in Arizona last May, but because prosecutors said he was a member of some “involuntary celibate” online group, CSIS arbitrarily determined he was a “white supremacist.”
CSIS did not include any of the 45 police officers who were shot in 2020 among the left-wing terrorist attacks. Also, the study includes not just attacks but “terror plots” as well. Included in the right-wing column was the foiled plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, even though some in that group were connected to Antifa.
According to the CSIS study, there were “570 violent protests between May and August” last year, almost entirely Antifa and BLM, but only 61 were cited as terrorist attacks in the report.
Perhaps the most telling statistic in the CSIS study is that even after the numbers were highly manipulated, it turns out that 84 percent of the left-wing terrorist attacks involved explosives, incendiaries, and firearms, versus only 49 percent of the suspected right-wing attacks and plots. The reality is that the vast majority of the threats to the nation’s homeland are from left-wing extremists. Left-wing violence was ubiquitous throughout 2020, despite media attempts to characterize it as “mostly peaceful.”
There is no excuse or defense for white supremacy. However, it is obvious that Democrats, the Biden Administration, and its media allies are driving civil unrest by creating strawmen arguments about racism and genocidal police departments. It seems like it is being done to assist the Democrats in consolidating political power.
Our best defense against this cynical political operation is unity as a nation. So, here is some advice for everyone who is not a minority: make sure that people of other ethnicities know and understand that we are all on the same side, that we are not going to let extremists of the left or right divide us, and that our common humanity is greater than any corrupt political party’s agenda.

The media couldn’t tell the truth even if they wanted to without permission. This is one of the reasons I don’t watch any news coming from TV all BS fake reporter’s sucking up just so not to lose their jobs, get threats or backlash. Democracts hands and few Republicans are all in on this and those are the real problem this country is having. Take care of pelosi Obama, Hillary, Harris few others this will go away.
A spectacular display of media dishonesty occurred when NBC aired a Dateline segment about GM Trucks being prone to explode during collisions. The fireball that erupted after the staged collision ended up exploding in the red faces of those squirming little worms, who were apparently aiding lawyers suing GM in the wake of a collision, which killed the driver. This documentary, if not exposed after GM investigated the matter, would have opened the door for ambulance chasers to sue that company into bankruptcy.
I believe there was also a ford car (pinto ?) that got the exploding gas tank treatment from one of the networks.
What does this have to do with the original post ? NOTHING
Aye, great comment . Thank you .
Such💩..it doesn’t matter their illusions in make believe land,the simple FACT is we will here in 2022 and 2024 and these cheating criminal actor will be voted out..good riddance to bad rubbish..bye 👋
Don’t be so sure.
Hoping and praying you are correct!!
There won’t be a fair election again if the citizenry does not get off their ass’s and stop this tyranny !!!!
They false claims that January 6th was the worst riot ever. Did they burn things down NO . did they shot at random people, NO. It looked like all they did was break down a door or 2 and then used this event as a photo op session. Now go back and look at Portland and Kenosha , massive destruction and shootings . We the people are not blind, deaf or dumb. Maybe the Democrats and the press will someday realize this.
Who shot Ashley Babbit ( the unarmed woman ) during the January 6th incident? The investigation commenced on January 7th and we still do not know the identity of the shooter. Why?
Democrats will use any lie and the opportunity afforded by any difficulty to gain a political advantage, just as Biden relied not on policy positions but on concern about the pandemic and a related emotional appeal during his basement campaign.
The MORON MEDIA only says what the Democraps their Masters tell them to. They do this so they don’t lose their spot on the Democraps RECTUMS.
The last paragraph says it best: (we all must stick together and “fight those
who are trying to ‘pit us against each other’. We have all gotten along pretty well, without interference from political parties. Trump was doing a great job uniting America again. Democrats have caused rifts that may never be corrected on this earth. Only God Almighty can fix what the democrats have done to our beautiful country. Our best bet is to vote out all those who are turning against the American people and our way of life, in support of their Socialist ways. We need God to be welcomed back and hold him close to our hearts. The left seem to be the instigators of the riots and everything that’s opposing to our culture. Allowing those from every country in the world to come freely through our borders will be the demise of America. A country without borders is DONE! )
Our best defense against this cynical political operation is unity as a nation.

I only watch Network news for the weather. For news it’s OANN and Newsmax. Any fool that believes MSM is real deserves what you get. The left is trying to dismantle our country.
Lies, damned lies and statistics. To be quite truthful, having been a Republican conservative for lo these 45 of my 69 years, I don’t know what a white supremacist is precisely. I had no idea what Q Anon is. I thought it was some gay closet group until some study said it was a pathetically small group of people who were like scientologists or pagans, perhaps the Church of Gaia. We know what this is – diversion, the shiny bauble, the who are you going to trust, me or your lying eyes?
The January 6 incursion on Capitol Hill was planned by Nancy Pelosi or at least the optics were. No one has explained to my satisfaction why it was, when the Capitol police were advised of threats to security on Capitol Hill, security wasn’t shored up to the point where the incursion would have been just a footnote on the reporting of the day.
I say look to Nancy Pelosi, the most manipulative, calculating, cynical and Machiavellian person with power there. Look to her, the very person who seditiously approached the Joint Chiefs of Staff and asked it to prevent President Trump from getting access to nuclear codes when such a request was clearly beyond her bailiwick as an Article I legislator. Look to her for the fencing, razor wire and National Guard waiting for an attack no one thought would come. General Lee was just as likely a threat as any other. All a diversion, all a shiny bauble.
Look to the border where that fencing, razor wire and National Guard are truly needed, Look to the Democrats in Washington who have orchestrated an invasion of this country by inducing and indirectly financing a tidal wave of Biden T-shirt wearing chess pieces called migrants to overwhelm the border while Joe was giving stand down orders.
Look to the meaning of treason and don’t be distracted.

I decree in JESUS NAME.
LISTEN UP….The THREAT to HUMANITY are ANTIFA….BLM…FOREIGN TERRORISTS..COMMUNISTS..THEY ALL Have BLOOD on Their HANDS of the INNOCENT. GOD is AGAINST These. From SamuraiQueen….GOD’S ADOPTED DAUGHTER…Forever. 😩😩😩
SOME HOW MAKE BIFEN PAY FOR WHAT HE IS DOING TO MY COUNTRY.
Republicans have to take the US House and US Senate in 2022. (Bye bye crazy Nancy and wimpy Schumer.)
Then the Republicans have to impeach sleepy Joe Biden and lying Kamala, removing these two miscreants from office!
REMOVE THIS FAKE PRESIDENT BEFORE HE KILLS US ALL THE DIMWIT.
Intelligence Absolutely Democrat in value = Zip, Zero, Nada.
The greatest domestic terrorist threat to the citizens of the United States of America is the corrupt satanic Nazi democrats!!!
The squatters in the WH ARE the Biggest threat to the WORLD.
Don’t wait today MUST sue Nancy Pelosi for gross negligence causing the wrongful dead of Ashli Babbit in the Capitol riot, she was unarmed, who gave those orders to the the Capitol police to shot an unarmed person without first giving prior notice of that they will be shooting at them , violating the law.
No one is above the Law not even the POTUS, Nancy fired the experienced Capitol chief of police days before the riots and placed an inexperienced person to be in charge, refused the offer from the POTUS TRUMP to have 10,000 troops to stop riots in DC, there are multiple videos that show how the Capitol Police let the rioters in the Capitol and also guide them to the chambers then inside to ambush them and gun down an innocent person.
We The People want the Law to be upheld even to everyone, no one is above the LAW.
Now the say the Capitol police that shot Babbit is in hiding who is helping him to do so, and why they haven’t open an investigation!!!.
The communist democrats will do and say anything to take our freedoms and rights away and are assisted by the communist controlled media.
Our citizens in this country are a bunch of indoctrinated sheep.
Will someone tell Pretender Biden what he’s doing? Looks like he and Kamela are studying how to “Laugh Off “Serious Issues” “Cackles and Debacles”
I think he thinks that it will work when it will only get a lot of people killed
