#Great #Read: "God, Guns, and Sedition Far-Right Terrorism in America" Bruce Hoffman and Jacob Ware #LibroRecomendado #WothToRead Recent years have witnessed shocking acts of terrorism from violent American far-right extremists, including the 2015 mass murder at a historic Black church in Charleston. However, I disagree with the authors who claim that the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol aligns with the book's hypothesis; it is something different. These incidents are neither novel nor unprecedented. They are the latest flashpoints in a process that has been unfolding for decades, where vast conspiracy theories and radical ideologies such as white supremacism, racism, antisemitism, xenophobia, and hostility to government converge into a deadly threat to democracy. "God, Guns, and Sedition" offers the definitive account of the rise of far-right terrorism in the United States—and how to counter it. Leading experts Bruce Hoffman and Jacob Ware trace the historical trajectory and assess the present-day dangers of this violent extremist movement, along with the harm it poses to U.S. national security. They combine authoritative, nuanced analysis with gripping storytelling and portraits of the leaders behind this violence and their followers. Hoffman and Ware highlight key terrorist tactics, such as the use of cutting-edge communications technology, the embrace of leaderless resistance or lone-wolf strategies, infiltration and recruitment in the military and law enforcement, and the movement’s intricate relationship with mainstream politics. An unparalleled examination of one of today’s great perils, "God, Guns, and Sedition" ends with an array of essential practical recommendations to halt the growth of violent far-right extremism and address this global terrorist threat.

TRUMPERS - Why would you conflate the term WAR with COMBAT, and let's add deployment and deployed for the Marine Public Relations dude. And when you say "saw combat," what does that mean? Dropping bombs or launching missiles from a ship at sea or clearing houses one at a time. What's the technical term? DOOR KICKERS... Trumpers and JD, if you keep splitting hairs, you will become as bald as.... READ MORE HERE 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇 https://lnkd.in/eBnf2cPv ☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️

My Thoughts: Peaceful gatherings and demonstrations are the first amendment rights of everyone who's living in the United States, but there is a fine line between exercising your first amendment rights and (I'm trying to put it as lightly as I can) being a low-life scum. - Vandalizing national monuments and landmarks - Torching the United States flag. - Chanting extremist ideas and calling for ethnic cleansing of a minority. - Threatening other citizens and harassing minorities. - Disrupt others' rights to express themselves. If you do those, you are nothing but a low-life scum. Keep that in mind the next time you decide to do any of those things. The republic gives everybody the right to express themselves and voice out their concerns, but you have no right to abuse those rights to spread hate and two-bit extremist ideological crap. Some dare to burn the flag of the same republic that gives them the rights of humanity without even understanding what its colors mean. The same people who support the atrocities committed by a terrorist organization and waving the banner of another terrorist organization in the streets of the capital. God bless the United States for being the land of the free and giving you the rights to Express yourselves and God grants me strength to stand fast against you and the likes of you.

I repeat my opening framing, from an earlier reshare today, also from Kyle Reyes - the opening framing below absolutely fits perfectly for both reshares, in my extensively-studied opinion validated with numerous impressively credentialed (& others) also extensively studied, highly-astute, notably high-principled and exceptionally "buttoned-down" people. My opening framing follows now: #enemieswithinthegates Arrayed against this barely-still, #constitutionalrepresentativerepublic Bringing in even more, #enemieswithinthegates If correct, then "why?" you ask? Perhaps, #wef members, partners, supporters and friends... Bulldozing a path for, #unagenda2030 Mandating, #nosovereignnations #henceopenborders #noprivateproperty #notravel #unlessyouare #davosjetsetterselite ? And here's a little hint: US #specops #veteran turned Globetrotting Investigative Journalist and War Correspondent Michael Yon in an interview I watched last year stated and I quote: "The WEF and CCP are more one and the same than partners..." And reportedly #gates and the #ccp leveraged far more teaming influence in "helping select" both the #un's #who top leadership and then drive even further, overall WHO policy and more in recent years than that of any other individuals, nations or groups. Happily at least we all know the "pan" demic had absolutely zero impact on #election #integrity or anything else important, of course. Thank God "Sudden Death Syndrome" is obviously due to #climate #change, of course! And that "pan" demic #treaty topic clearly also isn't anything at all to worry about either, including "jb" signing thereby reportedly fully ceding sovereign nation status to the supposedly "UN-run" #who. If he does sign it, obviously it would be entirely unrelated to the apparently 94 EAs he signed *deliberately unsecuring the border*, including per sworn testimony to #congress by a #border and #immigration #executive awarded a top honor by #potus #obama. Remember when #robert #mueller gave sworn testimony after "his" investigation *he reportedly led* during the #potus #trump Administration? Remember cries of "elder abuse" after the very sad shadow of his former self effectively leapt off the page in that testimony? Recognize any (even possible) patterns? But that's just what I think might be (/ pointing very strongly to what may very well be) happening. What do you all think? #surveysays

Disarming The Militia Act - A well regulated militia is necessary to a free state. Then why is Congress trying to disarm them? - Congress wants to make it illegal for your neighborhood watch or church security group to train to defend themselves and others. - What happens if it becomes illegal for people to assemble to prepare to defend themselves? The gun grabbers in Congress are at it again. Attempts to disarm the American people have only been moderately successful over the past few years, so a bill was recently introduced in the House of Representatives. Entitled the “Preventing Private Paramilitary Activity Act of 2024”, this bill wants to make it a crime for private citizens to work together to defend their rights. If this bill were to become law some day, even training together could not only get you fined, but placed in jail, possibly for life.
