White House calls Capitol riot a 'terrorist attack', introduces Pentagon anti-radicalization to stop the 'lethal' rise of 'white supremacy' in the military and pushes to 'purge' the internet of 'extremist content'


The Pentagon is to start training for service members leaving the military to prevent them being radicalized by violent extremists, as part of the country's first domestic terrorism strategy due to be unveiled on Tuesday.

It follows a review that stated the most dangerous elements of the threat today come from white supremacists and anti-government extremists.

The White House also called  the Capitol riot a 'domestic terrorist attack' in the report and backed a 'purge' of extremist content online.

The strategy includes $100 million for the Department of Justice, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security for analysts, prosecutors and investigators.

'In addition, the Department of Defense is incorporating training for servicemembers separating retirements in the military, who may potentially be targeted by those who seek to radicalise them,' said an administration official.




Attorney General Merrick Garland is due to unveil the country's first National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism at 11am on Tuesday. It follows a 100-day review of the most urgent terrorism threats the United States faces today.





'Domestic terrorist attacks in the United States also have been committed frequently by those opposing our government institutions. In 1995, in the largest single act of domestic terrorism in U.S. history, an anti–government violent extremist detonated a bomb at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people – including 19 children – and injuring hundreds of others,' the report says.

'In 2016, an anti–authority violent extremist ambushed, shot, and killed five police officers in Dallas. In 2017, a lone gunman wounded four people at a congressional baseball practice. And just months ago, on January 6, 2021, Americans witnessed an unprecedented attack against a core institution of our democracy: the U.S. Congress.'

The move follows revelations that a disproportionate number of people arrested during the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol were active military personnel or veterans.

Experts in domestic terrorism have long warned that far-right militants were targeting people with military or law enforcement training for recruitment.

The new strategy brackets the Capitol assault - when thousands of Trump supporters descended on Congress - with mass shootings at a synagogue in Pittsburgh and a Walmart in El Paso as part of the country's 'tragic history' of domestic terrorism

The strategy will also address the danger of 'insider threats' within the military or security agencies.

'The Department of Defence, Department of Justice, and Homeland Security Department are similarly pursuing efforts to ensure that domestic terrorists are not employed within our military or law enforcement ranks, and that they improve their screening and vetting processes,' said the official.

'Training and resources will be developed for state, local, tribal and territorial law enforcement partners as well as for sensitive private sector partners, to enable them to enhance their own employee screening programme, and to prevent individuals who post domestic terrorism threats and being placed in positions of trust.'

The strategy will be launched by Attorney General Merrick Garland on Tuesday morning.

In a foreword, President Biden said America could not ignore the threat from domestic terrorism.

'Together we must affirm that domestic terrorism has no place in our society,' he said.

'We must work to root out the hatreds that can too often drive violence.

lol

Of course they did, the leftist mind is incapable of broad thinking and reasoning which is why it is so easy to influence them by small words and phrases. Sheep only know being herded which is why it's so simple to herd them.

The White House, filled with America-hating terrorists, should be able to recognize a terrorist.

They consider anyone who does not bow and pray to them and their leftist ideas a terrorist and an enemy.

They implicated an attack by a black nationalist and a Bernie Sanders supporting commie were right wing attacks?

PS, Jan. 6th was a mostly peaceful protest.

FPNI

Boy oh boy, all you folks are in "deep poo-poo" now..............

Putin was right, we USSR now.

They are scared.

There.  

Fixed it.

I'm a Fweedom Fighter

I like how a BLM dude and a commie Bernie fan are being lumped in to make the case for targeting anyone right of center as domestic terrorists.

Do they understand by calling Jan 6th domestic terrorists but the attacks going on by the left for 4+ years as protests they are radicalizing people? I hope that is not intent but it might just be.

C the 1st post.

Si vis pacem, para bellum.

Very

The only terrorist attack that day was the murder of Ashley Babbitt by a monster.

Make 80 million citizens that supported Trump terrorists and see how that works out for you.

Idiots.

FJBx2

You don't need 20/20 vision to see where this is going.

The terrorists have been infiltrating Washington since 9/11.

To the surprise of no one.  

With the recent wokeness genuflecting the military does, and the purity tests administered to the NG who stationed in DC, and now this it's obvious their plan is to turn the military into a perpetually loyal Democrat organization.  

It's also obvious to anyone who cares that the whole Jan 6th fiasco is being held up as "terrorism" because of who the people there were, and what was targeted.  We had just endured an entire summer of violence, arson, and unrest across the nation which is hand waved away because they are advancing the Democrat machine.  Actions don't count, motivations and team membership counts.  The same people who say your AR-15 isn't of any use to overthrow the Government is also saying that a group of unarmed mostly middle-aged people with no leadership almost overthrew the Government in an afternoon.  They know exactly what they are doing.

Also hate to do a I told you so, but 20 years ago I told anyone who would listen that the word "terrorist" would get applied to us one day.  Chickens have come home to roost.  Sure everyone here is in agreement with that now, but 2001 era was a completely different story.

How many people are not 're-upping' or retiring from the military because of this shit? They are seeing so many people abandoning ship that they are worried that these disallusioned people will take up the cause against them..... GOOD!

The narrative must present all white people that are against what they are doing as potential terrorists to capture the support of the typical soccer mom and 'less left' lib's.

yeah?  well our government is run currently by a terrorist administration.  Takes one to know one I guess.  Hope they all get bloody anal fissures.

Have you been under a rock, OP? The Jan 6 peaceful protests were labeled a riot and a terrorist attack on January 6th. Furthermore, anyone who supports America, the United States Constitution, vote for Trump, is White, male was and has been labeled a terrorist and extremist for at least 4+ years. This isn’t news.

You too huh?  "But everyone knows we're the good guys!"

These people are high.

So did Ted Cruz and many Republicans.

If anyone doubted it; they are full court press to imprison wrong-thinkers.

Equating the OKC bombing to Jan 6th proves it.

The Illegitimate President Cho Bi Den and his administration can’t be trusted.

Indeed.  

"You hate America"
"You want the Terrorists to win"

Oh there is a terrorist attack in Washington alright, going on right now in fact.  It's called the Socialist Democratic Party.

Well, when you're labeled a Terrorist it makes it much easier to convince the sheeple justify that the rest of us should be put in a digital gulag, in a camp or even droned.

I don't think they are scared at all.
They are using their power to demonize, crush and prosecute anyone they deem as a threat.
So ~75,000,000 of us

Replace "domestic extremist" with "conservative" and read it again.

I can't think of a better way to "heal" than to label 80 million people as terrorists.

Of course they do and nothing will be done to all the blm terrorist that have been killing, stealing and burning.
You want reparations, GFO.

The only thing they are scared of is slipping on their drool, at the thought of killing or imprisoning ANYONE who says, does or thinks anything counter to their ideology.

They are in complete charge.  We are on the losing end of this shit.  Badly.

Yet a Bernie voter shooting republican congressmen is not a terror attack . Got it

Those guys with Helmets on are probably AntiFa.

The loony democrats ARE the domestic terrorists, their day will come for justice and it won't be good for them!

Damn it feels good to be a gangster terrorist.

Civil war

sensible chuckle

That was a whole lot of text to just say that they found another way to launder money.

Don't jdam me, bro
