FBI warns that conspiracy theory believers now pose a domestic terrorism threat

 

The FBI has for the first time identified conspiracy-theory driven extremists as a domestic terrorist threat, according to a report.

 

An FBI report from May 30 from the bureau’s Phoenix office describes the growing concerns and arrests linked to violent incidents sparked by conspiracy-theory based beliefs.

 

The document, obtained by Yahoo News, references QAnon, an anonymous underground network that believes Hollywood celebrities and Democrats are working behind closed doors to challenge President Trump.

 

It also mentions Pizzagate, a theory that an international pedophile ring is being operated by individuals including Clinton associates from a pizzeria without a basement in Washington D.C.

 

'The FBI assesses these conspiracy theories very likely will emerge, spread, and evolve in the modern information marketplace, occasionally driving both groups and individual extremists to carry out criminal or violent acts,' according to the document.

 

The FBI also think that 'conspiracy theory-driven extremists' will have more of a presence during the 2020 Presidential campaign.

 

Last week, FBI Director Christopher Wray was criticized by Senators by Democrats who argued that the the organization was not doing enough to tackle violence by white supremacists.

 

Senator Richard Durbin told him: 'The term "white supremacist," "white nationalist" is not included in your statement to the committee when you talk about threats to America.

 

'There is a reference to racism, which I think probably was meant to include that, but nothing more specific.'

 

In response, Wray told those gathered that the FBI no longer uses separate terms for black identity extremists and white supremacists.

 

He claimed that the bureau was instead targeting racially motivated violence.

 

He claimed: 'I will say that a majority of the domestic terrorism cases that we've investigated are motivated by some version of what you might call white supremacist violence.'

 

Last May, Michael McGarrity, the FBI’s assistant director of the counter-terrorism division, told Congress that the bureau classifies domestic terrorism threats into four main categories.

 

In a statement given to Yahoo News, the FBI said: 'While our standard practice is to not comment on specific intelligence products, the FBI routinely shares information with our law enforcement partners in order to assist in protecting the communities they serve.'

 

In relation to the FBI's new category, the document says it concentrates on 'violence based specifically on beliefs that 'attempt to explain events or circumstances as the result of a group of actors working in secret to benefit themselves at the expense of other.'

 

It added: 'The advent of the Internet and social media has enabled promoters of conspiracy theories to produce and share greater volumes of material via online platforms that larger audiences of consumers can quickly and easily access.'

 

The FBI claimed that it could 'never initiate an investigation based solely on First Amendment protected activity.

 

'As with all of our investigations, the FBI can never monitor a website or a social media platform without probable cause.'

 

The report cited one example when a California man was arrested in December 2018 after being found in possession of bomb making materials.

 

He stated that he planned to travel to Springfield, Illinois and blow up a 'satanic temple monument' in order to 'make Americans aware of Pizzagate' and the 'New World Order.'

 

They also reference the Tree of Life Synagogue massacre in 2018 in which 11 people were killed several others were injured in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

 

The document states that the shooter Robert Bowers reposted a cartoon depicting the Zionist Occupation Government and claimed that the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society 'likes to bring invaders in that kill our people.'

 

In December 2016, police responded to reports of a man entering a a pizza restaurant with an assault rifle that was the subject of a fake news story claiming it was the center of a child sex ring orchestrated by Hillary Clinton and her campaign chief, John Podesta.

Exclusive: FBI document warns conspiracy theories are a new domestic terrorism threat

 

The FBI for the first time has identified fringe conspiracy theories as a domestic terrorist threat, according to a previously unpublicized document obtained by Yahoo News. (Read the document below.)

 

The FBI intelligence bulletin from the bureau’s Phoenix field office, dated May 30, 2019, describes “conspiracy theory-driven domestic extremists,” as a growing threat, and notes that it is the first such report to do so. It lists a number of arrests, including some that haven’t been publicized, related to violent incidents motivated by fringe beliefs.

 

The document specifically mentions QAnon, a shadowy network that believes in a deep state conspiracy against President Trump, and Pizzagate, the theory that a pedophile ring including Clinton associates was being run out of the basement of a Washington, D.C., pizza restaurant (which didn’t actually have a basement).

 

“The FBI assesses these conspiracy theories very likely will emerge, spread, and evolve in the modern information marketplace, occasionally driving both groups and individual extremists to carry out criminal or violent acts,” the document states. It also goes on to say the FBI believes conspiracy theory-driven extremists are likely to increase during the 2020 presidential election cycle.

 

The FBI said another factor driving the intensity of this threat is “the uncovering of real conspiracies or cover-ups involving illegal, harmful, or unconstitutional activities by government officials or leading political figures.” The FBI does not specify which political leaders or which cover-ups it was referring to.

 

President Trump is mentioned by name briefly in the latest FBI document, which notes that the origins of QAnon is the conspiratorial belief that “Q,” allegedly a government official, “posts classified information online to reveal a covert effort, led by President Trump, to dismantle a conspiracy involving ‘deep state’ actors and global elites allegedly engaged in an international child sex trafficking ring.”

 

This recent intelligence bulletin comes as the FBI is facing pressure to explain who it considers an extremist, and how the government prosecutes domestic terrorists. In recent weeks the FBI director has addressed domestic terrorism multiple times but did not publicly mention this new conspiracy theorist threat.

 

The FBI is already under fire for its approach to domestic extremism. In a contentious hearing last week before the Senate Judiciary Committee, FBI Director Christopher Wray faced criticism from Democrats who said the bureau was not focusing enough on white supremacist violence. “The term ‘white supremacist,’ ‘white nationalist’ is not included in your statement to the committee when you talk about threats to America,” Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., said. “There is a reference to racism, which I think probably was meant to include that, but nothing more specific.”

 

Wray told lawmakers the FBI had done away with separate categories for black identity extremists and white supremacists, and said the bureau was instead now focusing on “racially motivated” violence. But he added, “I will say that a majority of the domestic terrorism cases that we've investigated are motivated by some version of what you might call white supremacist violence.”

 

The FBI had faced mounting criticism for the term “black identity extremists,” after its use was revealed by Foreign Policy magazine in 2017. Critics pointed out that the term was an FBI invention based solely on race, since no group or even any specific individuals actually identify as black identity extremists.

 

In May, Michael C. McGarrity, the FBI’s assistant director of the counterterrorism division, told Congress the bureau now “classifies domestic terrorism threats into four main categories: racially motivated violent extremism, anti-government/anti-authority extremism, animal rights/environmental extremism, and abortion extremism,” a term the bureau uses to classify both pro-choice and anti-abortion extremists.

Feds in Michigan Capture ICE’s Most Wanted Human Trafficker

 

Federal agents in Michigan have nabbed the top human trafficker on the Immigration and Custom Enforcement’s (ICE) Most Wanted List, officials said Wednesday.

 

The U.S. Marshals arrested Darrick Bell, 50, at the Econo Lodge, a motel in Monroe, Michigan, an ICE official told the media, according to Fox News.

 

NEW: U.S. Marshals say they have nabbed Darrick Bell, 50, aka Tone or Ghost, wanted in connection with a human trafficking operation at the notorious, now-demolished Victory Inn on Michigan Ave. at the Detroit/Dearborn border.

The suspect, known as Tone or Ghost, was in possession of $12,000 in cash and cocaine, federal officers reported. A woman was also arrested at the same time.

 

An ICE spokesman said that Bell was linked to a raid in 2017 when a group of women were freed from a motel where they were drugged, beaten, and threatened while being forced into prostitution. But Bell escaped officials and has been on the run ever since.

 

With his apprehension this week, Bell and five others were charged under a nine-count indictment on sex trafficking, forced labor, drug trafficking, money laundering, and other charges.
