1. In May 2017, the FBI and Department of Homeland Security released a joint intelligence bulletin designed to help law enforcement combat the White Extremist Movement. Let's look at the implications of this report.
2. The report indicates that between 2000 and 2016, white supremacist extremists (WSE) accounted for the most fatalities of any domestic extremist group with 49. So clearly, WSE groups are the biggest threat to safety of US citizens.
3. But upon closer inspection, there are some inconsistencies with the report. For instance, the report fails to mention that it includes murders committed by incarcerated whites. However, per capita, incarcerated whites commit less homicides than other ethnoracial groups.
4. Further, incarcerated white people are actually murdered more than any other incarcerated ethnoracial group per capita.
5. You're probably wondering, "the Pulse Nightclub shooter alone killed 49 people in one night, shouldn't domestic Islamic extremists be ranked the highest for murder?" Well, the FBI has defined "domestic extremists" as those without direction of foreign extremists. Convenient.
6. This definition of "domestic extremist" is different from the statutory definition of "domestic terrorist" in that a domestic terrorist CAN be directed by a foreign terrorist group. Thus, "domestic extremist" was likely a term politically devised to indict right-wingers.
7. So why does this joint bulletin from the FBI and Department of Homeland Security matter? Well, it's fodder that the Jewish media uses to manufacture public fear about dissident voices and right-wing ideology.
8. It's also used by US politicians like Chicago Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi who recently introduced a bill to prevent hate crimes and quoted the report. Most "prevention" comes by way of suppressing speech and the exchanging of ideas, if you haven't noticed.
9. To be fair, the FBI & DHS bulletin is far more benign than the ADL report about white extremism. The ADL's report not only includes inmates, it also attributes murders to white extremism irrespective of motive; the perpetrator must simply be affiliated with an extremist group.
10. So the ADL attributes many superfluous murders to white extremism in their report. If someone has an image of the German "SS" rune saved on their phone and they commit a murder, the ADL would tally that as a white extremist murder.
11. And again, just like the FBI & DHS bulletin, the ADL report is used by the Jewish media to indict any right-wingers that promote nationalism. Here is a prominent black news outlet that cites the ADL report (created and owned by a Jew).
12. So how can we accurately parse the data to truly understand the hate crimes attributed white extremists? We can't. But as we can see from FBI data, whites under-index for hate crimes per capita (62% of population, 46% of hate crimes).
13. But 46% is actually over-indexing for white hate crimes because the FBI counts ethnic Hispanics as white. In reality, it's closer to 38%. Thus, whites are 62% of the US population and account for approximately 38% of the nation's hate crimes.
14. Going forward, be cognizant of how organizations manufacture support for their causes by creating very specific definitions of words and omitting relevant facts about the statistics they present. Reject their definitions and know that omission is a liar's best friend. ⛔
