My neighbor was one of the most patriotic people I've ever known.

"One man's terrorist is another man's patriot" he used to say.

Twenty years ago, he used to advocate for things that seemed inconceivable then but that we here expect any day now.

They can't codify what they call "terrorist attack" because we would argue they were acts of protest.

My neighbor relocated back to his home county in the middle east shortly after 9/11, but I think of him often and know that he would feel very happy to see what has become of our country.

Here is a link to the report:

https://www.scribd.com/document/495196607/Right-wing-Terrorism-2020

The report/ "bulletin" (aka newsletter) was written by the "Joint Regional Intelligence Center (JRIC)"

(tl:dr- it is not part of DHS, it is a public-private group out of Southern California that does threat assessment training classes, etc)

https://www.jric.org

"The Joint Regional Intelligence Center (JRIC) is a fusion center collaboration between federal, state, and local law enforcement and public safety agencies to integrate criminal and terrorism threat intelligence"

"The JRIC area of responsibility includes the counties of Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura."

Here are screenshots of the relevant parts of the report, and they are laughable and do NOT support their statements that:

Right wing DVEs (domestic violent extremists) (chiefly AAE (anti-government/anti-authority extremism) and militia extremists became increasingly organized and active in 2020, and were responsible for the majority of deadly domestic terrorist activity.”

Despite the rarity of targeted left-wing extremist attacks, the persistent nature of grievances cited by the left-wing extremists and increased response to right-wing activity motivated more left-wing violence in 2020 than in previous years.”

The "science" behind Masks reads the same way. This is what the CDC and WHO uses for their "science" and why they use masks.

AND if you don't believe us you don't believe in science.
