Although Nick Rasmussen, former Director of America’s National Counter-terrorism Center has emphasized the escalation of “right wing extremists” to Australians, he also mentioned a point which is more significant:
“Even though the horrific attacks tied to domestic terrorism have received more press attention in recent weeks, not too many weeks go by in the United States where there isn’t an arrest of an individual for terrorism-related activity related to ISIS or Al Qaeda.”
This point is not captured in the headline below, since Rasmussen mostly zeroes in on the topic of “right wing extremism.” He stated: “It is certainly the experience we are having in the United States right now and there are signs that this is happening in other countries.” Ilhan Omar also claimed that “white men” are a greater threat than jihadis. There has been a concerted effort to make this appear to be the case, as a Government Accountability Office report shows that “the count of fatalities committed by ‘far right wing extremists’ and ‘radical Islamist extremists’ begins on September 12, 2001.” Why didn’t they go back one more day?
An additional point: it is not sufficient to look at statistics only from Western countries to assess the threat of “extremism” to Western citizens. One must look at the total tally of jihad attacks (including the persecution of Christians and minorities) in Africa and the Middle East as well, which is astronomical. This is an important part of threat assessments to the West, precisely because of open-door immigration, which has and will continue to see an increasing number of migrants from these locations relocate to the West, and a number of these migrants will bring their values with them.
“US National Counterterrorism Centre’s former director Nick Rasmussen says right-wing terrorism is a growing threat”, by Stephanie Borys, ABC Australia, August 12, 2019:
The world has witnessed a number of right-wing extremist attacks this year, and a former director of America’s National Counterterrorism Centre fears there will be more.
Nick Rasmussen, who served under both Barack Obama and current President Donald Trump, has warned that right-wing extremism is becoming more prevalent.
“It is certainly the experience we are having in the United States right now and there are signs that this is happening in other countries,” he told AM.
“Individuals who share these views, whether they are tied to white supremacy or anti-Semitism or some other hate-based ideology, are finding each other across the globe.”
Mr Rasmussen is visiting the Australian National University’s National Security College to talk on a range of issues including terrorism, and said the threat of right-wing extremist attacks was just as high as the threat of an attack by Islamic extremists.
“I think there is a certain equality in the United States, at least in terms of case load,” he said.
“Even though the horrific attacks tied to domestic terrorism have received more press attention in recent weeks, not too many weeks go by in the United States where there isn’t an arrest of an individual for terrorism-related activity related to ISIS or Al Qaeda.”
ASIO boss Duncan Lewis has previously confirmed that intelligence agencies are keeping an eye on right-wing extremism in Australia.
Asked about the threat during Senate Estimates in October last year, Mr Lewis said the problem was “coming off a very low base” but certainly re-emerging…..

One of the world’s biggest problems is the dysfunctionality of Islam, a medieval cult that sucks the life out of whatever it touches. Instead of guarding ourselves at huge cost from Mohammedan fanatics, surely it is more cost-effective to completely debunk Islam and thus demoralize Muslims so they cannot psyche themselves up to do violent, barbaric acts.
Helping Muslims to drop out of Islam is the most progressive thing the world’s leaders can do.
CRUSADER says
Sure.
It’s about propaganda warfare.
It’s about telling the truth about Islam and the alternatives to Islam.
Sebastian Gorka has been calling for America and the West
to be stepping up PsyOps in every way
since we mainly face an ideological war.
(Such was the case — and still is the case, as we witness —
with our fight against communism and socialist ideas.)
But it does require calling Islam ☪️ for what it is!
That takes a steel spine and for the average citizen
to take a bite out of Islamist agendae — daily.
The background for doing so is not receptive in :
FBI
DOD
InterFaith
Academia

It is definitely important for us to tell the truth about Islam so that Infidels understand the threat.
But why would telling the truth about Islam demoralize Muslims–especially Jihadists? Previously, Mortimer has said that Jihadists would all leave Islam if only they understood that it was violent–again, it makes no sense that those who commit violence in the name of Islam would become disaffected if they knew that Islam was violent.
He also said recently that Islam will cease to exist in 2-3 years because women all over the world will suddenly leave Islam all at once.
Mortimer is quite knowledgeable about the texts and tenets of Islam, but all of the above, sadly, is wishful thinking.
Eric Jones says
I hope you are right Mortimer. There must be a way to deprogramm Islamist out of Islam. But the allure of Islam is that it is a politcal system pretending to be a religion. The Islamist crave the power they would have under Sharia. Its like an intoxicant. Peace.

From looking at the media everybody can feel the gigantic surge in white supremacists, white nationalism, open racism (by whites against others) and even Naziism.
Looking at the same media, not a peep about Islam or Moslems.
Yahoo News is ultra lefty, they even are caught up in the electronic coup against Trump and his 63 million deplorable irredeemable voters. Yesterday they went front page with photo and name of the kid busted in Norway for going after a mosque. Yahoo News never reports on that same against churches, which is hundreds of times more common.
I’m white. I’m a nationalist. I’m not a racist, as is the case for at least 85% of my cohort. But that’s not what’s in this new urgent fictive reality being pumped up now. So they deflate Islam and pump up white racism. The beat goes on.
mortimer says
The Globalists are trying to depict white people as the source of all evil that must be ‘eradicated’. They are slandering the entirety of all white people.
It isn’t ‘racism’ when the Globalists slander all white people and imply they don’t deserve to live of have human rights.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
The underlying assumption is that whites are in a position of privilege and advantage, and thus can absorb the attacks to everybody’s benefit. But what about Affirmative Action? There is never mention that whites have granted others distinct advantage for college admissions and getting jobs. There’s no credit for that. Then there’s the part about giving everything to China, and the argument that this unsustainable arrangement must be continued, or America would be racist, the predominately white part, at least. But wait a minute, we have already been declared racists so what more do we have to lose?
Meanwhile the Moslems are off the scope, going full bore in Sharia takeover mode.

Westman says
Let’s try some honesty. Why Nick Rasmussen desires to give a distorted view points to either an agenda or statistical ignorance. Only terrorism RATES have any meaning for comparison yet he talks about “equality…of case load”.
Let’s do a though experiment: We have 100 acts of terrorism in each of two groups, Muslims and non-Muslims. Can we say which group is most likely to commit the most terrorism with only this information? Obviously not, because we haven’t looked at the size of each group.
Rate of Terrorism = (Terrorist acts of group) / (population of group)
And for Mr. Rasmussen’s “equal case load”:
Rate of Islamic Terrorism = (equal case load) / (US Muslim population)
Rate of Right-wing Terrorism = (equal case load) / (US non-Muslim population)
Ratio of Terrorist Rates, Islamic / right-wing = (US non-Muslim population) / (US Muslim population)
Do the algebra, populations were in the denominator, so they invert and “equal case loads” cancel.
There are 1% Muslims in the US population.
So the Rate of Terrorism of Muslims in the US is 99 Times greater than that of non-Muslims!
And that is by Nick Rasmussen’s own, “equal case load”
99:1 !

**** Islam is peace, freedom is slavery !!!!
“Islamic Hijacking of Orwell”
=====================
(article in Front Page Mag:)
Islam is a religion of Peace. That is as certain as the three slogans of the Ministry of Truth; War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery and Ignorance is Strength.
These three slogans of the Party in George Orwell’s 1984 are especially applicable to Islam; a religion of war that claims to be a religion of peace, whose political parties (such as the Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party) use “Freedom” in their name but stand for slavery, and ignorance of its true nature creates an illusion of strength for industrialized nations that imagine that they are only battling a tiny handful of outmatched extremists.
The Orwellian world finds its natural expression in our world of unnamable wars against unnamable enemies who are peacefully at war with us in the name of a religion that our leaders assure us is wholly peaceful and should not be identified with the people killing us in its name. There is enough convoluted reasoning in a single press conference after any act of Muslim terror to have provided Orwell with material for three sequels.
But in a Doublethink world where everything means the opposite of what it truly is, even Orwell isn’t immune from inversion. Instead of censoring him, the Doublethinkers, in the fashion of the Ministry of Truth, rewrote him.
Dubai, a city in a totalitarian state that practices censorship and fills jails with political prisoners, will host its Inaugural George Orwell Lecture under the auspices of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum; a billionaire ruler with more wives and yachts than human rights.
Considering Dubai’s international reputation as a glittering city for the wealthy built on the backs of slave labor and a party city where women have fewer rights than kidnapped child camel jockeys; there ought to be plenty of material for an Orwell lecture.
Dubai, like Islam, is slavery masquerading as freedom.
But His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum is not about to sponsor a lecture critical of his glittering tyranny. Not in a tyranny where the son of the UAE president and the brother of its crown prince was filmed using cattle prods, lighter fluid and nails to torture a businessman. In a properly Orwellian statement, the Ministry of the Interior, whose cops had been involved in the torture, said that “all rules, policies and procedures were followed correctly by the Police Department”.
Orwellian tyrannies like the UAE don’t allow lectures on Orwell unless they have been properly routed through the Ministry of the Interior, which follows procedures correctly when sticking a cattle prod into the rectum of a screaming Afghan businessman, the Ministry of Truth and their useful Western idiots who do all the Doublethinking on behalf of their countrymen.
And so instead Gavin Esler, a BBC television presenter, which is to say an employee of a massive media bureaucracy that everyone must support by law, will claim that 1984 was warning England about the threat of the X-Factor television singing competition and Wayne Rooney; an English soccer player.
But talent competition judges don’t send people off to reeducation camps. That is more in the wheelhouse of left-wing intellectuals. And tabloids don’t send people to blow themselves up in the London Underground to enforce Islamic law on the United Kingdom.
Orwellian lectures on Orwell appear to be the fashion at the Orwell Trust. The annual Orwell Lecture has already been delivered by Muslim Brotherhood scion and stoning apologist Tariq Ramadan.
The topic of Ramadan’s lecture was “Democratising the Middle East: A New Role for the West”.
To the Muslim Brotherhood, democratization means the same thing that a plane ticket does to their Al Qaeda splinter group. A Muslim Brotherhood Supreme Guide was once quoted as saying, “Democracy is like a pair of slippers that we wear until we reach the bathroom, and then we take them off.” The Brotherhood was booted out of power because it decided that Egypt was already in the toilet and that it could take off its democracy slippers prematurely.
….
CRUSADER says
….
Democracy, to the Freedom and Justice Party of the Muslim Brotherhood, which offered neither freedom nor justice, was another word for tyranny. And that made Tariq Ramadan’s talk title an actual embodiment of the Party’s three slogans in 1984.
Tariq Ramadan has described the Muslim Brotherhood as a “legalist, anti-colonialist and nonviolent movement that claimed legitimacy for armed resistance in Palestine against Zionist expansionism during the period before World War II.” That’s a rather roundabout way of saying that it was an Anti-Western totalitarian movement that drew support from Nazi Germany because of their common goal of exterminating the Jews.
“Al-Banna’s objective was to found an ‘Islamic state’ based on gradual reform, beginning with popular education and broad-based social programs,” Ramadan writes. But he neglects to mention that Hassan al Banna was his grandfather or that his Islamic state would “regulate every aspect of life”, conduct “surveillance of theaters and cinemas”, confiscate “provocative stories and books that implant the seeds of skepticism”, criminalize the mingling of men and women and restore the Caliphate.
If this sounds like an Islamic Oceania, that makes it all the more outrageous that his grandson should, in thoroughly dishonest terms, promote the creation of this Caliphate, where men and women will be flogged, books will be burned and the Freedom and Justice Party will watch everyone all the time, at a memorial lecture for the writer who warned that Oceania was coming.
It was the rise of this burgeoning Caliphate in Egypt that turned the Tahrir Square protesters against Muslim Brotherhood rule. Just as it provoked youthful uprisings in Turkey and Iran. But according to Ramadan, the overthrow of the Brotherhood, the mobs in the street chanting for Morsi to join Mubarak, was a Zionist conspiracy.
Unlike Machiavellian, Orwellian was never meant to characterize George Orwell as a supporter of the totalitarianism that he wrote about. But the Orwell Trust has perversely embraced the totalitarianism depicted in 1984; the distortion of language and the advancement of slavery, war and ignorance under the guise of freedom, peace and justice.
Consider Orwell book prize judges like Arifa Akbar, who has spent a good deal of time claiming that the UK isn’t the victim of Muslim terrorism, but that Muslims are the victims of UK counter-terrorism, a proper inversion of the truth worthy of the Ministry of Truth, and winners like Raja Shehadeh for Palestinian Walks; the former director of a group that supports terrorism.
The Orwell Trust’s descent into collaboration with totalitarian states and ideologies is the very sort of conduct that Orwell had been writing about.
George Orwell struggled to publish Animal Farm because no one wanted to hear anything negative about the Soviet Union. Today, Islam and the Caliphate have taken the place of Communism and the Soviet Union.
The Doublethinkers of the left have drafted George Orwell into their Ministry of Truth that claims Islam is a religion of peace, that the Freedom and Justice Party of the Muslim Brotherhood does not stand for the enslavement of half the population and that ignorance of these things is not a weakness, but a strength.

Yes, there has been a shift with recent events to single out white folks, especially men.
It is orchestrated of course. The same is true with them aiming at the ‘far right’ instead of islam or the left. Of all the dangerous extremists out there, right wingers and white men are on their radar!
It’s all following the globalists script!
By the way, I also heard recently that at some place they wanted to label pro lifers as ‘white supremacists’! The parameters are closing in, like I said. Ironically, I read that it is mostly African American babies that get aborted. I don’t have the actual statistics however.
I also heard that they canceled that movie; the Hunt due to popular complaint.
But the Left’s motives are the same of course.
