FBI conference's keynote speech will cover 'Radical Left-Wing Gangs'

Never mind the dozens of examples of far-right violence in recent years.

LUKE BARNES JUL 20, 2018, 10:38 AM

The largest annual gathering of FBI agents — FBI National Academy Associates — will meet this weekend in Quebec City. A year-and-half ago it was the site of a deadly mass shooting, when six Muslim worshipers were killed at a local mosque by Alexandre Bissonnette. The subsequent investigation found that Bissonnette was obsessed with far-right causes, regularly visiting the Twitter account of Richard Spencer, David Duke and Alex Jones, to name but a few.

You’d think then, that the conference would be a fitting location for the FBI to talk about the growing dangers associated with far-right violence. But it seems the opposite is true.

According to VICE News, the headline speaker for this year’s conference is Dale Yeager, the CEO of Seraph Inc., a private consulting firm for law enforcement, who will use his keynote speech to talk about “Radical Left-Wing Gangs in America”, which focuses on the dangers that groups like antifa pose with “their violent actions against civilians and police agencies in the U.S. and Canada.”

Yeager, who has reportedly spent more than 40 years warning about the dangers of left-wing extremism, does not believe there has been any uptick in white supremacist violence, and that the far-left, which he described as “despis[ing] Western civilization and liberal democracy,” is squarely to blame for the growing political violence in the U.S.

Do they just make this shit up? I'm sure he's found some nano-particle of a group somewhere that he can hang his "theory" on. But, really...? This is some sad republican-russian bullshit propaganda.

Do you suppose Yeager was inspired by Pooty Poot and Dirty Donny*s efforts to divide and weaken America with bullshit and FAKE news?

Perhaps Trump and his republican cohorts can a pass some type of law

that forbids any view points that don't mirror theirs.

They can't lock us all up.

They will have to come up with a different solution.

I am sure they have one in the works.

White Supremacy rules in Trump's America.

I am so sick of Trump and his administration of evil fucking liars.

Given the 2 years of experience FBI employees have working in the Trump administration, seems like the FBI could lecture Yeager on how to deal with gangs.

I think we, the gang of voters should just show them the door on Nov

How come no one told me? Do we have a club house? Cool colors? Secret hi signs? Annual picnics? How does one get invited in to our phantom gang?

It's nausea inducing that a monster like this is allowed to speak to our FBI. His words will certainly effect some FBI personnel into committing crimes against liberals.

We have cities in America with homicide clearance rates under 40 percent. Looking for a problem to pimp a book later, will not make America any safer.

Ice isn't really law enforcement, it's not hard to pick up tan people and quiz them. I rather we start trying to make these unsolved clearance rates on homicides go down.
