U.S. officials see extremist groups, disinformation in George Floyd protests

Pandemic-weary Americans were already angry – about COVID-19 deaths, lockdown orders and tens of millions of people out of work. The pandemic has hit African Americans harder than whites in the U.S., and the killings of black people by police have continued over the years even as the topic faded from the national stage.

Barr on Sunday said the FBI would use its regional joint terrorism task forces to “identify criminal organizers,” and Trump threatened again to name antifa a terrorist group. Megan Squire, an Elon University computer science professor who tracks online extremism, saw images of at least four members of the far-right Proud Boys group on the periphery of a protest Saturday night in Raleigh, North Carolina.

America’s racial fault lines are a perfect opportunity for foreign adversaries looking to sow discord and portray the U.S. in a negative light, according to James Ludes, director of the Pell Center for International Relations and Public Policy at Salve Regina University in Rhode Island.

The most aggressive 'disinformation' campaign is led by the president himself. He is leading the single most extreme group of this century: The Republican Party. We see it daily. Say it plainly This is not a dance. This may be 1861 all over again . Wake up.

“Out if state protesters” just like the Toronto G20 riot was blamed on Quebec professional trouble makers. It’s the same garbage recycled for PR everywhere.

The Globe and Mail supports Antifa.

So where are the protesters/antifa when organized crime whacks a black rogue dealer who ripped them off? And where is antifa when the Crips and the Bloods seek revenge? Watch your backs antifa, you do not want to fuck with the wrong people.

👅🥾

What else were we expecting from the trumpies?

*Antifa terrorists* FTFY
