My latest in PJ Media:
FBI and Homeland Security Department officials on Thursday reiterated yet again one of the most frequently repeated refrains of the Biden administration: that “white supremacists” and other “domestic extremists” constitute the foremost terror threat the nation faces. Now the only thing they need to complete the picture are some actual white supremacist extremists, and the feds are busy working to solve that problem now. But whether they’re catching them or creating them is an open question.
On Thursday, Hulu began streaming a documentary breathlessly entitled “The Informant: Fear and Faith in the Heartland,” narrated by that paragon of journalistic objectivity, George Stephanopoulos. “As homegrown extremist groups remain one of the greatest threats to the United States,” the teaser asserted, “George Stephanopoulos gives an exclusive look at the incredible true story of how an ordinary man from Kansas risked his and his family’s lives to stop a terror attack.”
Wonderful, right? But in touting the show, ABC News tweeted: “In 2016, four militia men were finalizing a plot to bomb the mosque and homes of Muslim refugees in a Kansas town. Authorities say it could have eclipsed the Oklahoma City bombing. But one of them was an FBI informant.” Or, as one Twitter user commented, “The FBI did a great job of stopping themselves yet again.” Was this another case of entrapment? Would the plot have existed at all without the informant’s role? Given the fiercely political use of the FBI by Merrick Garland’s Justice Department, these are important questions, but the answers may never be forthcoming.
Meanwhile, the FBI is currently pursuing no fewer than 2,700 investigations of “domestic extremism,” more than twice the usual number of such investigations. The dramatic increase in investigations suggests, at least in a sane world, a response to a sharply increased threat, but Biden’s handlers have shown no evidence of a massive spike in “white supremacist” terrorism.
It’s just something we’re supposed to take their word for. Timothy Langan, the assistant director of the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division, recently presented it to Congress as axiomatic: “It goes without saying that the threat from domestic terrorism is heightened and has significantly increased in the last 18 months.”
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Frame-Up) made the same claim: “We must also acknowledge the persistent role white supremacy and white nationalism have on the frequency and severity of these threats. It is an indisputable fact that a growing number of domestic terrorist threats arise from people driven by hatred and a stated desire to harm people because of the color of their skin or their religious beliefs. We are seeing a sharpened edge to the threat, an increasingly persistent and coordinated effort to terrorize based on these repugnant views.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Isn’t it amazing how the FBI always seem to be right there to stop the terrorism?
mortimer says
The Bribed-man’s administration has calumniated all Republicans and re-commissioned the FBI to become a political police force to intimidate and silence Republicans who are too effective in exposing the failures of the Dems.
This is a direct attack on the freedom of association and freedom of speech and the FBI knows this. The heads of the FBI should tell the Bribed-man that it’s NO DICE … they will not comply to attack these two constitutional freedoms that they are mandated to defend.

The twitter comment about “the FBI doing a great job of stopping themselves yet again”.
Well, tell us something we don’t know. This suspicion has been at the forefront here in Oz for a few years now. We follow the events in the US and other parts of the world with an almost morbid curiosity, wondering how the American people could be so freakin blind as to not understand what is happening right in front of their eyes?
One pool of money with how many “law enforcement” agencies all fighting over it like rabid dogs for the prestige and pissing rights to be the preeminent organisation.
And we are expected to believe that all the “crimes and plots” are real?
Henry Afamefuna Ilona says
It is part of the new world order agenda. Create the chaos, pitch people against each other, and watch the events unfold.
Bob C says
why show proof when they can fabricate them like in Michigan and DC ?
Dhimmi says
This is why China rises but United States declines, due to bad strategy and political corruption and political correctness

Listen to closely to what Adam Schiff spews, because he accuses others of that of which he and his party are guilty.
“It is an indisputable fact that a growing number of domestic terrorist threats arise from people driven by hatred and a stated desire to harm people because of the color of their skin or their religious beliefs.”
Schiff is damned liar – that’s the “indisputable fact”.
JOHN L SCHARF says
Evidence? They “don’t need no stinking” EVIDENCE! They are just looking for excuses to force the Great Purge by Biden! Time to send the masses to the gulags and death camps those who reject being compromised and enslaved by this Marxist like compulsive collectivism.
David M says
If the FBI doesn’t find any evidence of domestic terrorism they just invent it, like calling the parents of school kids terrorists for resisting vaccines & masks & critical race theory for their kids.
JDow says
The domestic terrorists exist and flourish in our (mis)government’s FBI offices. Leaders to janitors the FBI should all be imprisoned for at least 20 years each.

OLD GUY says
Question are Supremacist only WHITE? Would the FBI list the people who rioted and burned American cities last year as Supremacist? And just why haven’t these groups like Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA had a visit from the FBI or LAW ENFORCEMENT for the violence and property damage they did? It appears that our law enforcement and criminal prosecutors can picked and choose which crimes and what groups or races are violating our laws. Where is the JUSTICE in that?
Spiro says
The F B I doesn’t need evidence neither did the K G B
They can lie to you but if you do to them you face jail time
You own your house
Really ! don’t pay your
Property taxes or income taxes see who owns it
Now there’s talk about illegals getting cash why not
Muslims are transported here at our expense housed clothed Fred medical care and injured veterans get what
Bread and circus
Valhella says
White privilege my a***! Simply being white nowadays criminalises you – Any abuse is fair game, but speak out against the mozlem jihadists invading our once civilised societies and you’re branded islamaphobic and guess what? Criminalised…

FBI Sharply Increases Investigations of ‘Domestic Extremism,’ But Where’s the Evidence It Even Exists?
…………..
Yes–if this were *really* a big issue they would be able to cite cases–that they never do is very telling.
