Remember this the next time you hear a government or media talking head declare that government studies show that “white supremacist,” “right-wing” violence is the greatest threat America faces today.
“Study: Obama’s TEVUS crime database hides BLM, ANTIFA violence and inflates white, right-wing violence,” by Brad Johnson, American Military News, November 17, 2020:
Terrorism and Extremist Violence in the United States (TEVUS) is a US government-funded database that tabulates violent attacks in the United States. Used by the US government and media alike, it is one of the fundamental sources of information about who is conducting violent attacks in the United States. TEVUS reporting appears to set out to cover up Islamic, Arab, Black Nationalist, and Left-Wing terrorism and extremist violence and attempts to document white and right-wing violence where little to no violence actually exists.
Much of the information about the existence of right-wing violence does in fact come from the responsible agency, which in this case is the Department of Homeland Security via TEVUS. The latest annual Homeland Threat Assessment published in October 2020 by DHS director Chad Wolf, stated: “That is why we design our programs to be threat agnostic – ensuring that we can combat a broad range of domestic threats. However, I am particularly concerned about white supremacist violent extremists who have been exceptionally lethal in their abhorrent, targeted attacks in recent years.”
TEVUS is a compilation of four open-source terror and extremism-related databases:
- The American Terrorism Study, led by researchers at the Terrorism Research Center at the University of Arkansas
- The Global Terrorism Database, led by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism housed at the University of Maryland
- The US Extremist Crime Database, compiled by researchers located at Michigan State University, John Jay College, Indiana University – Purdue University, Indianapolis, and Seattle University.
- Profiles of Perpetrators of Terrorism in the US.
TEVUS uses their reporting and simply excludes many violent acts if they were perpetrated by non-whites — or worse, outright lies about the races of the individuals conducting violent acts. In a blatant display of data manipulation, the exclusively Arab 9/11 hijackers who murdered nearly 3,000 innocent people were categorized by TEVUS as “White/Caucasian non-Hispanic” and as a result, TEVUS is able to attribute all of those killed in 9/11 to whites. This is by far the largest source of deaths attributed to acts of violence by whites and wildly throws off the actual statistics to make white right-wing violence appear common. TEVUS reports there are 39 court cases which they characterize as right-wing, yet there is only one reference of any kind to terrorism in any of these court cases and that was a single instance where the attacker referred to his target as a ‘terrorist’ and a ‘suicide bomber.’
TEVUS systematically covers up the violence associated with black nationalist groups such as Black Lives Matter (BLM), even though BLM activists and supporters have allegedly killed at least 11 police officers and wounded nine since 2014 — none of that information is included. TEVUS also systematically excludes left-wing violence and does not contain a single reference to ANTIFA, for example, a group that is routinely violent and openly promotes violence….
Guy Macher says
And “non-Christian”. Add that little gem.
St. Croix says
Yes! This is an outrage, it’s the North American equivalence of the Brits calling Muslim terrorists “Asian”… just more dhimmitude and cowering “prevention” against the Islamic backlash they fear (for telling the truth).
Kepha says
In the UK, “Asian” means Indian, Pakistani, Nepali, Sri Lankan, Bangladeshi.
Infidel says
Then why do they say ‘Asian’ when the perps happen to be people from Somalia, Libya, Tunisia, Morocco? Don’t they geography?
R Thomasson says
@Kepha. The term “Asian” is an easy way to down size Muslim terror acts and crimes conducted by Muslims as the Jihad Rape gangs of Pakistanis (The Rochdale Scandal https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/3519066/rochdale-child-sex-abuse-ring-grooming-gang/) and point out that Buddhists, Hindi and Sikhs are all in the game.
toomanyhobbies says
definitely a O hold over
Infidel says
All the 19 9/11 jihadists were Arabs. Since when are Arabs ‘Caucasian’ people: under no racial theory is that even suggested
Also, would that then mean that Arab Muslims suffer from ‘White privilege’?
revereridesagain says
It’s worth a try. See how they like it. These people have no concept of individual human beings, the only terms they think in are race and ethnicity.
mortimer says
Few people who looked at the 19 terrorists of 9-11 would identify them as ‘Caucasian’. They look Asian.
Infidel says
Very specifically, they looked Arab. ‘Asian’ is too broad a generalization that’s meaningless in terms of race, since it includes Mongoloid (Mongol, Korean, Tibetan and Japanese), Han Chinese, Austroasiatic, Dravidian, Aryan and Semitic. Arab, otoh, is bi-continental – West Asia and North Africa.
underbed cat says
Thats funny ,that is used in Canada and U.K……”.Asian terrorist no matter what country it was used to block the word Islamic to hide identity from the population in Europe. The 9/11 Commission Report, identified the Islamic terrorists, names were published the book that was quickly taken off the shelves.. most were from Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Iran. U.S allies hows that for stupid. No one from Asia, however that does not say the Ughurs (muslim chineses) of China do not exist, although the President of China after a few terror attacks shut down mosques and the Quran. Race does not really matter, it is the inpregnated verses of the Quran that motivates terror as an obligation for those who will fight jihad and the Chinese president said were done with that problem, you will speak Chineses and be Chinese. Then suddenly the virus came walking out of the Wuhan lab, a very curious reactive response for the sudden turnabout after a shut down of mosques , could it have been an insider who decided he was offending muslims, prehaps he decided to act as required by sharia law.? Althought a terrorist who lives after an attack states his mission, most press does not want that out. So just let them pour in right and suddenly they are American terrorists.
gravenimage says
Please see my post below. The US Census does indeed catagorize Arabs as “Caucasian”. Whether it should is a different issue–this dates back to a time when there were few Arabs in the US.
Infidel says
Maybe, but have you seen recent surveys on ethnicity on most forms? They list out various races/nationalities. Also, the understanding of race has improved: there was a time when Indian was not considered Asian b’cos they didn’t fall under either Mongoloid nor Han nor AustroAsiatic, but had races of their own – Aryan and Dravidian. Yet, I sometimes find it hard to convince people that Indians are Asians, since no part of India is outside Asia
gravenimage says
Infidel, I agree re India and Asia. I’m just noting where this comes from in the US, not agreeing with it.
And certainly, characterizing Jihad terror as white violence could not be more misleading.
Wellington says
Agreed, gravenimage. From the standpoints of biology, genetics and anthropology, Arabs are Caucasoids, easily so, as opposed to being Negroids, Mongoloids, Australoids or Polynoids.
James Lincoln says
gravenimage,
Does that mean that Arab muslims can no longer play the race card?
gravenimage says
If only…
somehistory says
“threat agnostic.” What tripe, what baloney, what balderdash, what garbage, what lies, what evil.
So, what happens to the “racist” thingy, where Whites are so “racist” against everyone else and “islam” is a “race”? Since it has been reported…admitted…a whole heck of a lot, that the terrorists who flew the planes into the buildings and the ground were from saudi arabia, does that mean that arabs are all “white” moslims, although they won’t admit that it was caused by the islam in these scum, and if so, how can moslims claim that Whites don’t like moslims due to racial bigotry…and get away with it?
“o”is a deceitful moslim…can there be any other kind?… had a lot of moslims “working” in the government, sabotaging “the miserable house,” and hiding the fact that they were doing everything possible to take over, lying about what they represented, lying about the purpose of islam, lying about the goals of islam.
This “report” proves that they are still there, still sabotaging and lying to make White’s and Christians look evil and deserving of the deaths they plan. That is what the “lists” are for. According to Mr. David Horowitz, they are out to destroy Christian America.
wth009 says
I want to know….WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? Tired of just listening, we need to act!
Pita49 says
What a bunch of bullshit…our country is doomed cus look what’s coming in about 8wks…we do need to act but it’s got to be a mass uprising all at the same time from the 4 quarters of the country! We are being led like sheep wearing these masks pretending this is something to be afraid of! They are all the same jus wish I was a little younger but I’m in and hope something happens but nothing has so I guess I have little faith in the sheep being led….
Antiislamicman says
Telling lies won’t stop Islam killing non Muslims
Wellington says
What is so much in evidence here is the obsession in our time to demonize whites. It is risible (and insulting) that the 19 Muslim monsters who perpetrated 9/11 should be characterized as whites. Their race had nothing to do with 9/11. Their religion had everything to do with 9/11, a religion whose own founder said, “I have been made victorious with terror.” {Bukhari Hadith 4.52.220}
The newest totalitarianism in man’s history is Western Leftism, which is an amalgam of Marxism, political correctness, multiculturalism, grievance politics and overall ignorance (think AOC as the poster girl for this putrid combo). Western Leftism is a bastardization of traditional liberalism, much as Islam is a bastardization of Judaism and Christianity. Both Western Leftism, the newest totalitarian affliction, and Islam, the oldest totalitarian affliction still around, bode ill for mankind. Nothing good can come from either of them. And, profoundly unfortunately, these twin totalitarian idiocies are now in temporary alignment and infecting less than sharp non-Muslims and non-Leftists inexorably.
Islam and Leftism are ideological cancers. And cancers spread. They’re spreading now. Time is way overdue for ideological cancer treatment which should be wrapped around concepts of true liberty accompanied by the importance of responsibility for one’s actions and proper knowledge because liberty without self-discipline and knowledge is guaranteed to descend into license if not rank stupidity (think Madonna and Robert De Niro as examples).
This metaphorical cancer treatment is even more an imperative than any Covid-19 vaccine. Yes it is.
Infidel says
Wellington, in a bizarre era where people who’re not White – Black, Hispanic, Asian – are accused of being ‘White Supremacists’ if they’re simply conservative or even just non-Left, it shouldn’t be surprising that Arabs are then conflated w/ Whites even though they’re not Caucasian (which is the specific demonized racial group that Whites are denounced in) and in fact, include Black sub-groups, like in Sudan, Yemen, Somalia, Egypt and elsewhere. I have a friend who is Japanese-American, and not even conservative: she’s centrist, former Dem and an admirer of the Walkaway campaign of Brendon Straka. She told me that she was once accused of being a White supremacist: that’s how ridiculous the label is. Just like Candace Owens said that she was!
These days, I don’t take any racism claims seriously: unless someone has a long record and I’ve seen their statements, I don’t buy it. Only people about whom I believe it are David Duke, Pat Buchanan and Richard (not Robert!!!) Spencer. Otoh, I’ve seen a whole slew of people on CNN and MSNBC who obsess about race: one of them recently remarked on how their co-anchors were the first white people they had seen in weeks. And then there’s BLM and Antifa themselves. These are almost the only people I think of as racist, other than Muslim groups who create tiered structures in their countries based on race, even if everybody follows Islam. Just look at Sudan, Iraq, Turkey, for starters
Wellington says
Much thanks for that post, Infidel.
I fear, though, until your common sense, experience and accurate knowledge become common place, the civilization, Western Civilization, which explored freedom accompanied by the capacity to apologize for wrongdoing more than any civilization in history, will be debased, mischaracterized, actually lied about, all the while “lesser” civilizations and societies will still get a free pass.
Hard sometimes, you know, to not conclude that mankind, minus actual achievements here and there, is nonetheless a collective idiot. I fight coming to this conclusion but it’s damn difficult at times not to.
On this note, I need to pour myself a second beer. I’m sure you’ll understand why.
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
I agree, this “metaphorical cancer treatment” is critical for the survival of Western civilization:
The spread of islam to the West should be considered to be a cancer – and approached as such:
The best approach is, of course, primary prevention. Prevent essentially all muslim migration like Poland and Hungary.
The second best approach would be early detection. Being very vigilant regarding muslim migration, and deporting people who have infiltrated.
Further down the line, we look at treatment. If islam is localized in a Western country, it needs to be contained and subject to all of the laws of the host country in order to prevent metastasis. Also, muslims who break significant laws of the host country should be prosecuted and eventually deported.
Once metastasis occurs in a Western country and it becomes islamized with strict sharia law, it’s game over unless the host country decides to take military action.
Wellington says
Fine post, James. Hope “matters” are not too late.
Biden possibly, highly likely, becoming the next POTUS does not serve as an encouraging sign to thwart what Islam intends for us all, with its temporary ally, Western Leftism (which has taken over the Democratic Party of the USA), in full insouciance mode aiding Mohammedan directives.
And, no doubt, ignoramuses like Biden, in league with Buttlims aplenty, will unwittingly or wittingly attempt to destroy the “Great Experiment” begun in the late 18th century right here in America, in the very city I was born in, Philadelphia.
I mean, if you are a Leftist doofus (e.g., Biden and AOC and excuse the redundancy) or a devout Muslim (e.g., Omar), you have to hate what was produced in that hot summer of 1787 in Philadelphia. It is so very un-Islamic. Most definitely.
James Lincoln says
Thanks for the compliment, Wellington.
Best wishes.

Good exchange, Wellington, Infidel, and James.
Henry Mansfield says
Sounds like it’s time for torches and pitchforks…
Rarely says
Not possible. Must be an error.
gravenimage says
Not at all, Rarely. I worked for the Census in 2000, and this is exactly the terminology that was used to describe people of Arab heritage:
“The 2020 census continues the whitewashing of Middle Eastern Americans”
https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/2020-census-continues-whitewashing-middle-eastern-americans-ncna1212051
Of course, per the above, this means that these Jihad terrorists were instead “white extremists”.
On another front, this is also widely cited as proof that the West is racist–although if anything the opposite is the case. The Census also considers all Hispanics to be White–save for Dominicans, who are Black. This dates back to the earliest racial categories, where everyone was designated Caucasian, Negroid, or Mongolian.
Bad Penguin says
Even the DA brits call them asians.
R Thomasson says
Next we will hear from TEVUS conspicuous and dubious data base on terrorism is: …The terror attacks of 9/11 were conducted by Nordic Vikings, possible of Norwegian, Faeröer Islands or Icelandic origin! They motivated their acts as a punishment for all those who are not in favour of the god Thor. It seems that TEVUS is a propaganda machinery, Soviet style, whose main goal is reshaping reality and on the long run also history. This is the way TEVUS is doing business: nearly all terror attacks and crimes in US are of white supremacists. There is no significant Islam terror threat, and guys as BLM and ANTIFA are nice. Sounds crazy? Not at all. “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
