FBI MAINLY CONCERNED ABOUT ELECTION DAY RIGHTWING EXTREMISM [SNIPPETS]

@DFRLab, Nov2/3 2020, reports in part http://medium.com/dfrlab/electionwatch-what-to-expect-from-armed-extremist-groups-on-election-day-5461a961e543

“What to expect from armed extremist groups on election day.
Unlawful militia groups indicate they’re standing ready for election chaos

“...Trump and his associates have repeatedly telegraphed that they may preemptively declare victory on election night if it appears he is initially ahead.

Members of extremist online communities have repeatedly hyped the potential for turmoil during or immediately following election day, some going so far as to warn that a civil war may break out in the aftermath.

These assertions, often supported by misleading or hyper-partisan information, have encouraged coordination between groups and rank-and-file supporters....

Federal agencies have raised concerns that the election could be a flashpoint for a period of increased extremist violence in the United States.

The FBI sent a bulletin to law enforcement in August warning that as election day neared domestic extremists were increasingly likely to “plot against government and election-related targets.” The bulletin did not single out any partisan ideology, but subsequent reports from the

FBI and Department of Homeland Security have explicitly cautioned against right-wing extremist threats facing the nation....

...right-wing militias in the U.S. have “steadily ramped up their activities,” creating “significant concerns for the security of the election period, how seriously the election results will be taken, and the response to whichever winner is selected.”

...The Oath Keepers, one of the largest militia movement organizations in the United States, say they intend to engage on election day and the period of time that follows....

It’s not just the Oath Keepers: other

right-wing extremist factions have expressed they intend to involved themselves in election-related activity. Progressive media watchdog organization Media Matters reports that supporters of the QAnon conspiracy theory, which the

FBI considers a potential domestic terror threat, and members of a militia movement forum board have encouraged poll watching in both formal and informal capacities.

On Oct. 28, a man who claimed to be a Proud Boys member was arrested after threatening to bomb a North Dakota voting location..."

CM,

Loved your conspiracy theory ! Predictably off-the-mark :)

Hi Pete,

In some states, the counting of the vote doesn't start until voting has closed. So how on earth could a decisive verdict be possible for at least days ?

In any case, none of that matters since the Electoral College doesn't finally meet to make its decision until mid-January, about seventy days away. Surely Trumpf knows that ?

We'll soon see whether or not Trumpf knows he's lost and starts to bring out his 'Proud Boys' onto the streets to cause havoc.

I'm confident that the military will be ready for them. I have confidence in the American system.

funny over the last 4 years well over 90% of endless violence has come from the left and the haters of democracy. Now somehow they change the facts and are trying to pretend it comes from the right. Oh well same ol same ol lies.

Funny runner, dozens of far right extremists were arrested today, during violent riots in Melbourne.

Its kind of sad how easy it is for anyone on anyside who may have started with reasonable and genuine opinions on things;
- To slowly become subverted and lead into supporting or exhibiting radical or crazy beliefs and mentalities.

Think of it, millions of people willfully ruining their own minds;
- Like a one way ticket to mental problems, medication and the nuthouse.

It's as though some refined and perfected a path has finally allowed the social engineers to plug 'self-inflicted mental retardism' into an amplifier.
