Exclusive: FBI document warns conspiracy theories are a new domestic terrorism threat
by Jana Winter
Aug 1, 2019


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 should warn against itself, as its own malfeasance is a locus of many of these theories.

So QAnon is a terrorist group, and ANTIFA is not? Chris Wray has GOT to go.

Don't even try and tell me there aren't a bunch of big shot pedos running loose , and no mention of them.

We are living in dangerous times , gentlemen, and the danger is in Washington.

This could explain why intel asset navytiger74 came back to this board

He was sent by investigators to spy and report back to the fbi what q people were onto.

This is crazy town. I don’t believe I have read a word of the Q thread and in fact hardly even know what’s behind Q, but this is ridiculous.

I glance at it occasionally, hell I can't understand what much of it even means. But you can bet some Federal Bureau of Incompetence types probably have too.

By the way, frick you, Christopher Wray. I hope The President fires you. Pass that on boys.

The FBI must have checked out our Q thread over the last few months. There are less and less posts from normal people and more and more posts from the wacky types.

People having discussions online = threat
People rioting in the streets and attacking helpless victims = okay

So the truth is now a domestic terrorist? Maybe they should worry more about the liars and internal staff who were trying to overthrow a duly elected President.

Maybe so but there’s no doubt the Swamp is overrunning with ProgTards who subscribe to the White Conservative Man Bad rhetoric. Remember the July 4th terror warning ?

Qanon is absolutely retarded but the FBI doing this just gives them more ammo.

There is ZERO reason that they are branded a terrorism threat but shrug off ANTIFA.

The FBI’s shitty reputation has led to this, clean up your own house, so these conspiracy theories don’t have legs. Right now, no one thinks the FBI is credible. Heck QAnon has more credibility, right now, which seems to be the real threat to the FBI, exposing their injustice, which is why QAnon made the list IMO

I can't understand a lot of it but what I can figure out is it is mostly saying what is happening or what they think is going to happen. I haven't seen any call to arms or violence, myself.It appears to be more whistleblowing than anything else, accurate or not. The FBI must be feeling threatened.

You'll see a hell of a lot worse on the Left sites like DU.

The truth is that there isn't anything wrong with an FBI whitepaper saying QAnon and whatnot can lead nutjobs astray and into violence. It's not a domestic terrorist threat but feeding that shite to social outcasts can have bad results, no doubt.

My problem is that you've got Presidential candidates labeling Trump as a predator and dick measuring as to who is going to crucify an individual border patrol agent the hardest, and it's on a much bigger stage and probably influencing a much larger swath of people toward violence.

In other words, in a world where appropriate attention was being paid to the radicalization of the left on a large scale, I wouldn't care if the FBI was also paying due attention to handfuls of white supremacists or 4chan incels.
