Just heard on Face The Nation there is a plot afoot to explode a dirty bomb in front of FBI HQ in DC

[Stinky The Clown]

There are many other threats as well. The FBI agents involved in the search have been doxed. All relate to the self-inflicted legal travails on the Peach-toned Parasite.

This is coming from assholes like the assholes who invaded on January 6. Like the NailGun Bandidto.

I took from the report that the terror threat in the USA is pretty much what it was at the height of the threats from Middle East groups. The difference now is the terrorists are American citizens.

[dchill]

1. "...the terrorists are American citizens."

And that's actually much worse. Lettuce spray.

[gab13by13]

12. It is worse because we don't have proper laws to deal with domestic terrorists.

They can post on line that they want to kill FBI agents and the FBI can do nothing until there is evidence of a time and place.

The 1st Amendment protects their violent speech until it gets specific.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

18. +100.

Far past time to pass some laws with teeth in them to deal with these domestic terrorists before they commit acts of terrorism yet protect the rights of law abiding citizens.

I leave that to those with far more intelligence than me.

[notinkansas]

49. THIS!!!!!!!

This is a truly shameful period in our history. The fact that these wackos are in the minority does not minimize the need for new and tough laws - laws with teeth - to combat the threats they pose and actions they take.

And an excellent place to start is with the politicians and media who encourage this behavior.

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

[vlyons]

42. all the asshole goons, who weren't able to make it to the 1/6 insurrection

are fantasizing for the opportunity to heroically own the Libs

[NullTuples]

89. Especially since only a tiny handful of 1/6'ers received any significant consequences

[wnylib]

69. But I fear that it will be worse than that.

I am reading Malcolm Nance's book, They Want to Kill Americans. According to him, J6 was just the beginning of an ongoing insurgency that will continue and escalate until this extremist minority seizes control of the government - or, until it is defeated and outmaneuvered by the rest of us.

Remember how the overturning of Roe motivated us to GOTV? How we believed that we coule see a blue wave coming? That still might be true, but the MAGAs are now just as motivated and riled up over the FBI raid. I expect a huge dueling vote turnout this year, like the 2020 presidential election. And more intimidation and violence at the polls and during the campaigns, as well as more refusals to accept the outcome when Dem candidates win.

At the current rate, we will be lucky if we are not in an open civil war by the various election dates.

[bucolic_frolic]

74. Despite the damage of J6, it remains to be seen if they can muster discipline to fight well

and if Republican governors are willing to provide them combative support. Those two items would be a whole new ball game.

[wnylib]

75. This insurgency is not a formal, open battle situation.

It will consist of guerrilla terrorist attacks to frighten and demoralize citizens and make the government look weak and ineffective. Instead of soldiers confronting each other, there will be hit and run terrorist strikes.

In some red states the governors and legislators might openly back the terrorists. In other states, they might give passive support by not investigating incidents, not sending in National Guard to restore order, etc.

[markodochartaigh]

88. "...muster discipline to fight well..."

In my opinion, the Republican leaders will think it all the better if their minions continue to lack discipline, strategy, and discretion.

I think that the whole Capitol riot was a rehearsal not for an armed takeover of the US government, but for a delegitimization of an election. If a bunch of well to do yokels were to take over the government it would be difficult for the military and most oiligarchs to side with the yokels and support the insurrection, even though they might privately agree with them. But if, in the wake of large, violent, widespread uprisings by those same yokels the election is overshadowed, at least in some states, by questions of legitimacy state officials and courts who privately agree with the yokels will be able to decide the outcome of the election. Of course the useful idiot yokels will be thrown under the bus. I think that the real plan is bush v Gore redux. The yokels are just a colorful sideshow for a country where citizens have become consumers.

[Elessar Zappa]

79. I'm not worried about these fucks.

There will be no insurgency or civil war. The vast majority of the gravy seals are utter cowards. They won’t shoot at an enemy that shoots back. There probably will be increased maga terrorist attacks which is bad enough.

[wnylib]

85. You are missing something about how these militias operate.

They will not be facing anyone who fires back at them. They will carry out hit and run terrorist attacks and assassinations. Bombings, sniper shots, individual mass killings. They will be gone from the scene before first responders arrive.

5. I'll tell you: TFG IS a dirty bomb! Crapping on everything in sight.

[Wounded Bear]

6. The greater danger was always from within. 9/11 was a one-off...

9/11 was a complicated plot that nearly succeeded 100% in it's goals. They took down the towers and damaged the Pentagon, but missed on the one aimed at the Capitol building. The real damage they did was to change the basic fabric of American security thought. It provided an external threat that diverted attention outside the country and led to the endless Middle East wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria. They're still fighting in Yemen (currently under a tenuous cease fire, I guess) and East Africa. Historically it has been established over and over. It's easier to start a war than to end it.

Meanwhile, domestic terrorists have been hitting us at least since the 90's. From Oklahoma City to Charlottesville to the Jan 6 attempted coup, the real threat has been RW extremist Americans. Most of the attacks have been smaller, and while they may have not been coordinated and organized, they have been related. The current epidemic of gun massacres have been by RWers mad at "liberal" powers that be.

The call is coming from inside the house.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

8. Nailed it.

Our law enforcement/intelligence services and internal security were so focused on the external threat that they ignored the internal threats, despite the ACLU, NAACP, SPLC warnings of the rise of RW extremism.

[rubbersole]

21. They have faux news...

and 1500 RW radio stations. And all are lying their asses off daily. Somehow you'd think selling state nuclear secrets would be the line in the sand. There is no line. It's all the evidence one needs to see what we're up against. Scary.

30. Nothing new here kids, been in the works for over 65 years

I was just a wee tyke in 1956 so I wasn't aware of what was said at the time but I certainly was aware of it by the time I reached my teens.

There was this fella who ran the USSR back then named Nikita Khrushchev. He had a pretty complicated relationship with the US but since he came from peasant stock and wasn't really sophisticated and politically correct he did tend to speak bluntly and forthrightly about his feelings and beliefs. Lots of things to read about him and his relationship with JFK if you're ever bored and looking to spend some time. Anyhow, the quote that pertains to the current situation and will help put things into perspective is this:

“We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the U.S. We will destroy you from within....”

There are societies and cultures in the world that play the long game unlike us. They set plans in motion they don't expect to live long enough to see succeed. Unless we as a nation wake up we're going to see the end of our great experiment.

Just like we have a significant number of people in this country who don't care for living in a democratically elected representative form of government there have been, and currently are, many in the world who have been working for the overthrow of such an audacious form of self-governance pretty much since its inception.

Putin and his oligarchs are just one threat in a long line of threats. Does it end now? Kinda depends on us. I'd like to suggest doing everything in your power to get as many of the traitors out of office this November.

[notinkansas]

51. '"We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the U.S. We will destroy you"

What I remember most clearly is him pounding his shoe on the podium and saying 'We will bury you'.

[Ligyron]

52. Yup, good ol' "We will bury you" Nikita.

Remember when he took off his shoe and started pounding the podium with it?

Was that at the United Nations? I forget…

[Marthe48]

10. I noticed right after J6 that the criminals look like people

in my town, in my neighborhood.

The despots funding the drive to destroy our country have an army that bought its own weapons, buys its own ammo, buys its own clothing and pays for its own medicine, hospital costs and funerals. All the evil ones did was expand 2A rights and encourage lawlessness.

The idiots attacking our country do not understand that under any governmance, they are expendable. The evil ones are not going to give them any favors, and will probably kill them first, because they are undisciplined idiots with guns. Not the best group to protect unwanted dictators.

Like I said, hope the idiots keep attacking solo. Defend the country, shoot to kill and plaster the epic failures all over the headlines.

13. never in my life

And now his people want a civil war. I really did think white supremacists were defeated in the earlier stages of the fight against racism. And now women have lost the right to make personal decisions about their bodies because those same white supremacists are very afraid of becoming a racial minority?!!! Next, will there be sex farms where women will be forced to have babies? Something akin to the sex farms of black women during the Slavery era in Amerika? I now believe this democracy is in real danger. The fear, hate and anger in the streets are palpable.

We will see just how strong WE are in the next election and 2 years further down the road, won't we?

[Traildogbob]

16. The last 15

Minutes of George Carlins “American Dream art 2” defines where we are and how we got here. Throughout The whole documentary he was constantly telling us the course we are headed.

19. The FBI issued a report in 2009

outlining the domestic terror threat from right wing militias. The over reaction from congressional Republicans caused the FBI to withdraw the report. Why do Republican elected defend domestic terrorism? Could they be part and parcel to the domestic terror threat?

[spooky3]

20. The "conservative" FBI must take these threats seriously, investigate, arrest

And prosecute the perps. There is no other way to stop them.

[DENVERPOPS]

22. And there, in essence, you have Terrorism

Scare the shit out of people constantly and continually wear them down, then do something......TERRORIZE THEM......

And if possible do some act that creates far more wounded than dead to increase the incredible numbers of people needed to care for them.

In a real world, all the insurrectionists on J6 would have been charged with Domestic Terrorism, if there were such a law, with much stronger punishment, just like true terrorists......The Declaring of Domestic Terrorism Laws is long overdue!!!!!!!!

I loved the pictures of the mass demonstrations in Russia about Putin going to war in the Ukraine. There were like a thousand people protesting. Immediately, there were massively overwhelming numbers of soldiers corralling them, handcuffing them with zip ties, and herding them off to "somewhere"???
They did it every time there was any mass demonstration. The demonstrations against Putin have almost ceased to exist....

Our beloved Freedom of Speech, will have new "normal" in the future if Authoritarian Republicans take control of the nation.
Gatherings by their people will be called rallies, by our people, terrorist mobs of demonstrators.......Mark my words.

Just look at Trump rally videos. Someone speaking out at any of the rallies were met immediately by several goons, and "Trump ordering his goons to throw them out, and rough them up on the way......"
His sick, stupid followers obviously don't believe in freedom of speech for us, but for them, it is a different matter.
And the Republicans LOVE IT THAT WAY..........just hear their crowd cheer at such an example of Trump's behavior above, set by their worshipped leader.....And they have Literally Highjacked and brainwashed the religious followers from believing in Christianity's God, to them worshipping and believing in Trump, their Newly Ordained God............

These Republican Politicians are not only Malignant Narcissists, and Ego-Maniacal Psychopaths, but also deeply sadistic in their core....

(I love how the psychiatric community changed the term Psychopath to Sociopath, it sounds sooo much more like warm, fuzzy, and benign behavior don't you think??? Maybe they will consider changing it back to the word Psychopath after watching this crowd of Republican Politicians and Trump.)

31. A "dirty bomb?"

I find our media incredulous.

Look, it's very clear that there are right wing terrorists, but they've always been here. Even before Timothy McVeigh there were the Birmingham church bombers and the like.

But a "dirty bomb?"

Really? What exactly does our media think this might be.

I always say, and I'm not entirely joking, that one cannot get a degree in journalism if one has passed a science course with a grade of C or better.

[Demsrule86]

41. There is now a nuclear plant in Georgia which has permission to open...also a dirty bomb

could refer to a biological agent which can be created in a lab. So I would not doubt their ability to find a method to do harm.

[NNadir]

45. Opening a nuclear plant saves lives. One would have to be as scientifically illiterate as a...

...journalist to not know that.

[Demsrule86]

54. I actually have degrees in science...and a dirty bomb is a possibility if nuclear waste goes missing

or is obtained illegally in other ways. I find your posts arrogant. I am not a proponent of nuclear energy myself. I find that it can be a target for those who wish to do us harm and will in the end with companies who care little for safety but only how much they make the next quarter will compromise our safety and we will have a disaster.

[NNadir]

60. Having a "degree in science" doesn't make one knowledgeable or even right.

I have lots of people with "degrees in science" working under me, many with Ph.Ds, a few score of them. Almost none of them understand a damned thing about nuclear materials because they were never trained in the subject.

As it happens my son is currently enrolled in a Ph.D. program in Nuclear Engineering, his reason being he is interested in saving the world. The technical issues are one thing; the fear and ignorance are others.

My Journal on this website refers to many thousands, if not tens of thousands, of references from the primary scientific literature discussing nuclear materials and other aspects of nuclear engineering.

I am an expert in nuclear energy because I trained myself to be one, over more than three decades.

The main difference between anti-nukes and anti-vaxxers is a matter of scale. Anti-vaxxers may be responsible for the deaths of millions of people, whereas anti-nukes are responsible for the deaths of hundreds of millions of people.

Why is this? Because air pollution kills between six or seven million people per year, without a peep from anti-nukes carrying on about used nuclear fuel and other junk like Fukushima, Chernobyl blah, blah, blah, blah.

It seems to me that our knee jerk anti-nuke community doesn't seem to recognize that vast stretches all over planet are on fire, that crops are failing around the world in extreme heat and extreme drought, and that people are literally dying heat deaths all over the planet.

To assert that used nuclear fuels are accessible to terrorists is garbage thinking, whether any particular anti-nuke knows or not.

Knee jerk anti-nukism kills people because nuclear energy saves lives:

Prevented Mortality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Historical and Projected Nuclear Power (Pushker A. Kharecha* and James E. Hansen Environ. Sci. Technol., 2013, 47 (9), pp 4889–4895)

This particular thread, with a very silly title, is probably not the place to discuss this issue, but anyone is invited to fire off dumbshit anti-nuke rhetoric in any of the threads connected to posts in my journal.

As for this thread, it does us no good to engage the extreme fantasies of our "but her emails" media. It makes us look like fools. Fearing terrorists is, by the way, the goal of terrorists. We have always had right wing and religious terrorists, and without fail everyone of them from before Timothy McVeigh through Mohammed Atta and beyond has used dangerous fossil fuels diverted to weapons of mass destruction.

It would be interesting if people had the same knee jerk reactions to oil terrorism that they have for their fantasies of nuclear terrorism, or if they gave a shit that dangerous fossil fuel waste is killing the planet which is literally burning to death, but regrettably, that's not what is happening.

Have a nice Sunday afternoon and evening.

[Demsrule86]

67. As a matter of fact...I have studied nuclear energy and risks...I completey disagree with you.

And I dislike the arrogant way you dismiss people who don't agree with you. But as you make your living in the field, I find your arguments unconvincing. "I am so smart and have people working under me...blah blah...There are undoubtedly pros and cons concerning nuclear energy. I don't dispute that. But as far as I can tell your opinion is not that of an informed scientist but of one who makes his/her living in the field of Nuclear Energy You feed at the trough so to speak. Thus, I must consider the probability that your opinion is biased and leads you to ignore the very real risks IE you may have a confirmation bias. Have a good day.

[NNadir]

87. Whatever. I don't care.

In my opinion, anyone who thinks that a terrorist can isolate fission products or actinides from used nuclear fuel without being killed doesn't know shit from shinola about nuclear fuels. That's as obvious as the fact that the sun is lighting half of the Earth.

Basically I regard the claim to the contrary as talking out of one's ass.

After 20 years here, I'm used to the morally vapid shibboleth that the only reason to support a cause is for money, usually thrown around by bourgeois types because they refuse to believe that anyone can hold an ethical opinion without being paid for it, as it's beyond their limited ability to apprehend ethical issues.

This, of course, in my view, says more about the people making this representation than it says about me, but it's par for the course. It's been going on for decades.

Anti-nuke ignorance kills people, as strongly implied by the scientific reference co-authored by Jim Hansen, the famous climate scientist which I cite many times and cited above. Climate change is killing people, right now, and the world food supply is at risk, rivers are dying, fragile ecosystems are being desertified.

Again:

Prevented Mortality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Historical and Projected Nuclear Power (Pushker A. Kharecha* and James E. Hansen Environ. Sci. Technol., 2013, 47 (9), pp 4889–4895)

It speaks volumes, moral volumes, and is coauthored by a person who has cared deeply about the fate of future generations:

Storms of My Grandchildren.

I suppose someone could argue that his Grandchildren must be paying him to care, but I'd find that absurd, stupid actually.

As it happens, about 18,000 people will die today from air pollution, as shown in the famous Lancet publication about which anti-nukes couldn't give a shit, and about which no amount of money would make them give a shit.

And yet these same people want to tell me about "risk."

I repeat this text often to give a sense of the scale of the human cost of anti-nukism, whether proclaimed with head up the ass insisting that no one does anything except for money, or otherwise:

It is here: Global burden of 87 risk factors in 204 countries and territories, 1990–2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 (Lancet Volume 396, Issue 10258, 17–23 October 2020, Pages 1223-1249). This study is a huge undertaking and the list of authors from around the world is rather long. These studies are always open sourced; and I invite people who want to carry on about Fukushima to open it and search the word "radiation." It appears once. Radon, a side product brought to the surface by fracking while we all wait for the grand so called "renewable energy" nirvana that did not come, is not here and won't come, appears however: Household radon, from the decay of natural uranium, which has been cycling through the environment ever since oxygen appeared in the Earth's atmosphere.

Here is what it says about air pollution deaths in the 2019 Global Burden of Disease Survey, if one is too busy to open it oneself because one is too busy carrying on about Fukushima:

The top five risks for attributable deaths for females were high SBP (5·25 million [95% UI 4·49–6·00] deaths, or 20·3% [17·5–22·9] of all female deaths in 2019), dietary risks (3·48 million [2·78–4·37] deaths, or 13·5% [10·8–16·7] of all female deaths in 2019), high FPG (3·09 million [2·40–3·98] deaths, or 11·9% [9·4–15·3] of all female deaths in 2019), air pollution (2·92 million [2·53–3·33] deaths or 11·3% [10·0–12·6] of all female deaths in 2019), and high BMI (2·54 million [1·68–3·56] deaths or 9·8% [6·5–13·7] of all female deaths in 2019). For males, the top five risks differed slightly. In 2019, the leading Level 2 risk factor for attributable deaths globally in males was tobacco (smoked, second-hand, and chewing), which accounted for 6·56 million (95% UI 6·02–7·10) deaths (21·4% [20·5–22·3] of all male deaths in 2019), followed by high SBP, which accounted for 5·60 million (4·90–6·29) deaths (18·2% [16·2–20·1] of all male deaths in 2019). The third largest Level 2 risk factor for attributable deaths among males in 2019 was dietary risks (4·47 million [3·65–5·45] deaths, or 14·6% [12·0–17·6] of all male deaths in 2019) followed by air pollution (ambient particulate matter and ambient ozone pollution, accounting for 3·75 million [3·31–4·24] deaths (12·2% [11·0–13·4] of all male deaths in 2019), and then high FPG (3·14 million [2·70–4·34] deaths, or 11·1% [8·9–14·1] of all male deaths in 2019).

Now, if someone thinks that taking an ethical position on this matter can only come from "feeding at the trough," I am spectacularly disinterested in their opinion of me, what they dislike about me, or any such bullshit. I am disinterested, and frankly disgusted by ethically withered people of this type.

I would be appalled, in fact, if I received any modicum of respect from such a person. I am, as always, happy to dismiss such people, because they deserve no more than that.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Back in the old days of radium dials on clocks and watches, it used to be possible to assemble a fair amount of radioactive scrapings and it might have been possible to use them in some sort of dirty bomb arrangement, but it would have been exceedingly small and limited.

As for the terrorist threat, it has always been from the far right. Al Qaeda was more of a distraction than a main event, since they were much more efficient at killing fellow Muslims than anyone else.

I'm just hoping law enforcement is finally starting to wake up and shake off J Edgar Hoover's poisonous legacy regarding anyone to the left of Genghis Khan. Democracies have always been overthrown by the far right. There are no historical exceptions. They need to ponder that fact and act accordingly.

58. If this were to succeed, I don't think it would help the GQP in future elections. n/t

59. So basically Trump white Terrorist Organization Is planning a Terrorist Attack

Maybe it's time we started talking about the Dangerous white men in this country🤔

[RipVanWinkle]

66. Trump is "America's Bin Laden".

[Heather MC]

72. As someone who worked at the pentagon during 9/11.

I'm going to ask you as kindly as possible can. please do not insult bin Laden in that way.🤣

Yes he was a horrible man, he did an absolutely horrific thing. However Donald Trump's body count is much higher than bin Laden's when you factor in covid.

Trump killed more Americans than bin Laden.
🤷🏾‍♀️👌🏾

61. FBI

I say to the terrorists, bring it on, bring it on now while democrats run the Executive Branch, including our military.

62. GITMO is open for business.

[dlk]

63. The mainstream media, going overboard promoting TFG & bothsiderism because it's good for business

Has done much to bring us to this point. Added to that the results of repealing the Fairness Doctrine, put in place after the last major world war to fight fascism, and here we are again. We actually have a former president who is being investigated for espionage and selling the highest level secrets to our enemies, because it’s good for his business.

If we don’t take serious measures to address the media’s enabling and even promoting, radical, right-wing extremists, armed to the teeth with weapons of war, we could easily see our entire democracy tumbling down. When people think, “it can’t happen here” oftentimes, by then, it already has.

Time is running out and, perhaps, being good for business shouldn’t always be the overriding criteria.

64. A dirty bomb... Bannon with a detonator?

65. This morning CNN displayed a brief montage of all the riot-incitement tickers Fox has been priming

their lovely audience of terrorists with.
I tried to find it but couldn't. It was shockingly brazen dozen of full-on anti-FBI propaganda, all pushing the "free speech" limits towards inciting riotous response.
Some updated version of the repealed fairness doctrine needs to hold irresponsible journalism and journalist's feet to the fire for these incidents.

68. Track down the plotters and "disappear" them.

Drop them out of planes at 8000 feet over the Atlantic and Pacific.

Shark food.

Us law abiding taxpayers should not have to pay for incarceration.

[spanone]

71. Welcome to trumpworld.

the fucker has got to go.

[roamer65]

73. Arlington Road.

Sounds like they are trying to steal the plot from it.

[Nay]

99. That's a great movie. nt

[roamer65]

77. Start photographing any vehicles with "Defund the FBI" bumper stickers.

Get the license plate in it and send the pic to the FBI.

[oldtime dfl_er]

81. This is real

They're proud of it now.

[GreenWave]

83. The Supreme irony is this:

The FBI followed right along with the Red Scare and never investigated right wing extremists during the 50's 60's 70's 80's etc. So they are johnny come latelies as far as intel goes on the right wing reactionaries.

One group from the Left investigated the FBI during a break-in in a town ironically called Media, Pa. Their findings show the FBI was engaged in surveillance 97% of the time, not crime fighting. It also showed extreme bias toward investigating the Left about 19 to 1 ratio IIRC.

[C OH Dem]

84. What they got?

A bunch of dirty diapers?

[LetMyPeopleVote]

86. A whole...zero people showed up to the "massive pro-Trump protest

Link to tweet

[BlueIdaho]

90. Can't imagine a faster way to turn America against these Trumpistas.

TFG could end up dangling from a telephone poll and anyone with a red cap could end up fleeing the country to save their lives.

Be it on their heads.

[lpbk2713]

93. It shows what these idiots are capable of.

They are home grown terrorists. Send them to Gitmo when they are caught.

[onecaliberal]

94. "Peach toned parasite." Good one.

[calimary]

96. And let's MAKE SURE that we point the finger straight at the GOP.

And it’ll be the truth!!!

Republicans DON’T want to help you.

[calimary]

97. "The Peach-toned Parasite"!

Good one!

[orangecrush]

98. They're flushing themselves out.
