And I can place the blame for its acceleration at the feet of Donny and his MAGA RINO buddies for adding the fuel to the fire.

The “most lethal threat” faced by the United States isn’t China or Russia. It’s much closer to home and it’s escalating.

America’s “doomsday” extremists are getting serious. They’re recruiting veteran and active military personnel. And they’ve begun attacking critical infrastructure.

The US intelligence community’s recently released 2023 Annual Threat Assessment is blunt in its warning: Nazis and other racist groups are now the “most lethal threat” faced by the United States.

That’s ahead of the aggressive expansionism displayed by China’s Chairman Xi Jinping. And the invasion of Ukraine under President Vladimir Putin.

And these groups “believe that recruiting military members will help them organise cells for attacks against minorities or institutions that oppose their ideology,” the report warns....

...In 2022 there were 26 “actual physical attacks” on power facilities across the United States. That’s up from eight in 2021.....

......FBI domestic terrorism statistics recorded 1981 domestic terror attacks in 2013. In 2021, that number grew to 9049.....

As election time and winter get closer in the U.S. it's time to get prepared for more urban terrorist attacks.

Extremist attacks on US power grids are increasing and election seasons are usually a popular time for them, experts say.

The number of attacks on power infrastructure across the United States is on the rise, a new report from Politico says, and political extremism is playing a role.

Politico found that the number of power grid attacks in the first three months of 2023 had doubled compared to the same time period in 2022. In 2022, the biggest attack on a power grid affected 45,000 people in Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, Insider previously reported.

Right-wing extremism has played a major role, Insider reported, as neo-Nazi groups target power grids because of their belief in "accelerationism," that is, the theory that destabilizing acts will catalyze a race war.

Power grid attacks spiked during both the 2020 and 2022 election seasons, Manny Cancel, senior vice president at the North American Electric Reliability Corp, told Politico.

Power grids have suffered from both physical and cyber attacks in recent years. The FBI has warned power executives to remain diligent and aware of threats to the grid, Politico reported.

I never did think it came from "there" :^) The US' own DOHS has stated that about 25% of domestic terrorist incidents are "left-wing" or Islamist (these days at least.) The remaining 75% are "right-wing".

9/11 certainly threw that stat off for the casualties, though.

Will we survive 2024 and the threat posed fueled by these morons?

Donald Trump, Elon Musk – and the violent ‘Great Replacement’ campaign.

US Presidential wannabe Donald Trump is pouring fuel on racial and religious hatred to boost his chances of winning in 2024. And Elon Musk appears to have jumped on the bandwagon.

During a rally speech in New Hampshire, Trump once again pulled a line from Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf:

“When they let 15-16 million immigrants into our country, we’ve got a lot of work to do. They’re poisoning the blood of our country. That’s what they’ve done,” he told cheering audiences at a 2024 US Presidential Campaign address. “They’re coming from prisons, from mental institutions — from all over the world.”

Historians the world over immediately linked it to Hitler’s fascist dogma used to justify the institutionalised massacre of Gypsies, disabled people, Jehovah’s witnesses, homosexuals, Jews – and political opponents.

“All great cultures of the past perished only because the originally creative race died out from blood poisoning,” Hitler wrote in his rambling 1925 autobiography...........
