WASHINGTON, D.C. - Acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan announced the agency's new counterterrorism strategy at an event at the Brookings institute Friday, and for the first time, DHS is focused on addressing the threat of white nationalism coming from within the borders of the United States.

"Today, the United States faces an evolving threat environment, and a threat of terrorism and targeted violence within our borders that is more diverse than at any time since the 9/11 attacks," said McAleenan.

"Domestic terrorists, motivated by racially- and ethnically-motivated violent extremism, anti-government and anti-authority violent extremism, and other violent extremist ideologies, represent a growing share of the threat to the Homeland."

The explosion of the Internet and its role in bolstering terrorism is another focus of the report, which points out that the Internet is a tool often exploited by violent extremist groups to "disseminate their messages globally and foster online communities that lure vulnerable individuals."

DHS has outlined plan in the framework to address the issue of disinformation and "halt the spread of information operations intended to promote radicalization to violent extremism or mobilization to violence" through online communities, especially social media spaces.

"Similar to how ISIS inspired and connected with potential radical Islamist terrorists, white supremacist violent extremists connect with like-minded individuals online," the report says. "In addition to mainstream social media platforms, white supremacist violent extremists use lesser-known sites like Gab, 8chan, and EndChan, as well as encrypted channels. Celebration of violence and conspiracy theories about the 'ethnic replacement' of whites as the majority ethnicity in various Western countries are prominent in their online circles."

And yet there is still no federal crime directly addressing this. Any hope that the current gang in power can see that legislation through? Not bloody likely.

Fine by me. I have no brook with terrorists. Can't say that I am particularly worried by this one.

"Today, the United States faces an evolving threat environment, and a threat of terrorism and targeted violence within our borders that is more diverse than at any time since the 9/11 attacks," said McAleenan.... "Domestic terrorists, motivated by racially- and ethnically-motivated violent extremism, anti-government and anti-authority violent extremism, and other violent extremist ideologies, represent a growing share of the threat to the Homeland." .... The explosion of the Internet and its role in bolstering terrorism is another focus of the report, which points out that the Internet is a tool often exploited by violent extremist groups to "disseminate their messages globally and foster online communities that lure vulnerable individuals." .... DHS has outlined plan in the framework to address the issue of disinformation and "halt the spread of information operations intended to promote radicalization to violent extremism or mobilization to violence" through online communities, especially social media spaces. .... Without that last sentence, this could refer to Those black shirt anti-fa, this could refer to Muslims or environmental activists.... Funny thing Governments declaring a section of their own country as a threat....The last time I saw a threat against the country it was by somebody who said we want to throw out the constitution..... This time it is white nationalists next time it might be people who want to throw out the constitution or environmental activist that want to destroy the economy....

Greensleeves: is nobody else defending the "good torch carrying people" that were at Charlottesville?.........................I wish you had better reading skills.... it gets tedious having to explain everything to you.........1).... It was NOT Scrooge McDuck... McDuck is a Disney cartoon character........It is Ebenezer Scrooge a Charles Dickens character from the Book, a Christmas Carol.......To be fair to you..... Disney created Scrooge McDuck based on the character Ebenezer Scrooge and in a Disney movie based on the Book, Scrooge McDuck was Ebenezer Scrooge.......2).... A government declaration that a segment of society is a terrorist organization because: The explosion of the internet and its role in bolstering terrorism....The internet is a tool used by terrorists...the government will address the issue by halting the spread of information........READ number 2)... read it again..... let it sink in.......... The internet is being used to spread information, we the government will address the issues by.... Halting the spread of information....... If that doesn't alarm you no matter what side of the political spectrum you are on then you aint woke up....
