#DomesticTerrorism
A year later, a gunfire attack on two rural North Carolina power stations remains unsolved, but the FBI believes the person(s) in a Honda Odyssey minivan spotted near the scene might offer clues.
The attack on two electrical substations in Moore County left tens of thousands of people without power. The outages might have led to one death.
Authorities called it an intentional, criminal attack.

Fintan O'Toole: Irish fascism is not a reaction to immigration or poverty. It’s not even new. It is grossly unfair to inner city communities to stigmatise them as the sources of a shameful night in Dublin
(...)A tiny gang of malignant narcissists is not an expression of where Ireland is or who we are.

A recently released #FederalBureauofInvestigation (#FBI) document titled “#DomesticTerrorism Symbols Guide”* links common #protest symbols to “#terrorism” — another marker in a common theme of conflating #militant protest for #socialjustice with deadly #terroristviolence within the #UnitedStates.
In a surprise to no one paying attention, American law enforcement views left-wing politics as terrorism and sometimes overlooks far-right movements: https://unicornriot.ninja/2023/fbi-labels-anti-fascists-and-anti-racists-as-violent-extremists/

Protesters in #Atlanta mobilized against the $90 million #CopCity police training complex in #WeelauneeForest, advocating for a citywide referendum, now mired in legal disputes. Concurrently, 61 activists face serious #RICO and #DomesticTerrorism charges, amid state efforts to label them as "militant anarchists." #KamauFranklin criticizes Atlanta's clampdown on peaceful protests as a strategy to safeguard police interests and capitalism.

Trump and his Ultra-MAGA cohorts are gung-ho to take down the FBI because they know that is the org that is watching them and their extremist supporters for signs of domestic terrorism.
MAGA is a big tent with plenty of room for those extremely willing and well prepared to do whatever bidding of MAGA high-command they believe they will get away with. Which in this case is guaranteed by pardons if Trump were re-elected.

"The threat that Trump’s cultivation of political #violence poses to our democratic life is not hypothetical. It manifested itself in the #January6 insurrection, and in the myriad, psychotic lone wolves who have sought to avenge #Trump through acts of #DomesticTerrorism...
Perhaps more alarmingly, Trump’s capacity for directing violence at his enemies has reportedly dissuaded congressional #Republicans from defying him."

#ACLU Condemns Unprecedented #RICO Indictment of People #Protesting Construction of Controversial Police Training Center in Georgia
September 5, 2023
"Georgia’s attorney general has obtained indictments against more than 60 people, alleging violations of the state’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) law over ongoing efforts to halt construction of #Atlanta’s planned $90 million police training center, known by many as 'Cop City.' Some are also facing additional charges of #DomesticTerrorism and #MoneyLaundering.
"'We are extremely concerned by this breathtakingly broad and unprecedented use of state terrorism, anti-racketeering, and money laundering laws against protesters,' said Aamra Ahmad, senior staff attorney with ACLU’s National Security Project. 'Georgia law enforcement officials are disproportionately wielding these overbroad laws to stigmatize and target those who disagree with the government.'
"Since late 2021, protesters under the banners of 'Stop Cop City' and '#ProtectTheWeelauneeForest' have raised concerns over #ClimateJustice, displacement of #Black communities, and increasing #militarization of #police forces. #Protesters have camped out in the #forest, staged marches, and hosted community events. At times, a small minority of protesters have allegedly damaged property.
"'Democracy requires dissent and our state’s officials should not be exposing individuals to potentially decades in prison for engaging in protest,' said Christopher Bruce, policy and advocacy director at ACLU of Georgia."

A jury acquitted three men Friday in the last trial connected to a plan to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a scheme that was portrayed as an example of homegrown terrorism on the eve of the 2020 presidential election.
AP reports: "The key players ... were convicted of a kidnapping conspiracy last year in a different court."
""Romney’s announcement was accompanied by the publication of an excerpt of an upcoming biography of the senator... In it, we see one manifestation of the shift in American politics over the past decade, particularly on the right: the infiltration of political violence and violent threats.
Terror — native-born in the United States — has infected the discourse."

I’m going to keep repeating this - calling right-wing extremists who are armed, organized, and threatening violence, “militias” works to their goal of establishing legitimacy. They are terrorists. Call. Them. Out.
And if you’re in media and calling them “militias”, but refer to Daesh, ISIS, Al-Qaida, or the Taliban as “terrorists”, you should really think about why that is and the bias that you’re internalizing in your work.

"Putting the incidents together — the Jan. 6 debacle, the failure to collect domestic terrorism data and the FBI’s undue resistance to enforcing a subpoena (that ultimately turned up a raft of documents not previously disclosed) — one is left wondering why the FBI seems disinclined to stand up to right-wing authoritarian movements and figures."

"Imagine if, after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the national security community did not evaluate how it missed the telltale signs of an imminent attack.
The failure of leadership in the Jan. 6 case is inexcusable. Yet Wray has never been held to account for this delinquency."

@micahflee Periodic reminder that Canada and New Zealand have officially identified the “Proud Boys” as a terrorist organization.
Then blanketing a 200 mile area in carcinogenic soot + acid rain must definitely be #DomesticTerrorism
"From 2016 to 2022, white supremacist plots targeting energy systems “dramatically increased in frequency,”...
That same month [of February 2022], a Department of Homeland Security bulletin warned that domestic violent extremists had recently aspired to disrupt electrical and communications systems as “a means to create chaos and advance ideological goals.”"
