U.S. security officials are warning that violent domestic extremists pose a threat to the presidential election next month, amid what one official called a 'witch's brew' of rising political tensions, civil unrest and foreign disinformation campaigns.

WASHINGTON - U.S. security officials are warning that violent domestic extremists pose a threat to the presidential election next month, amid what one official called a “witch’s brew” of rising political tensions, civil unrest and foreign disinformation campaigns.

“You have this witch’s brew that really hasn’t happened in America’s history. And if it has, it’s been decades if not centuries,” said Jared Maples, director of the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness, which published the threat assessment. Documented cases of mail-ballot fraud are extremely rare and election experts say it would be nearly impossible for foreign actors to disrupt an election by mailing out fake ballots.

The memo said that lone offender white supremacists and other lone offenders with “personalized ideologies” pose the greatest threat of deadly violence. FBI Director Christopher Wray said during congressional hearings earlier this month that his agency was conducting investigations into violent domestic extremists, include white supremacists and anti-fascist groups. He said the largest “chunk” of investigations were into white supremacist groups.

“We want our allies and folks across the state to recognize that we need to be thinking about this,” he said.

Extremists threats regarding the election have been instigated and promoted by Trump, members of the RepublicanParty, and ProFascists Trump supporters. The Nov election is a choice between Biden and democracy or Trump and fascism, the latter resulting in the end of the nation.

Lock & Load.

Yes. It's the republican candidate.

White nationalist groups. So-called 'militia' groups like the The Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Boogaloos, Three Precenters.

We have seen the Violence in our streets for months, the rioters using intimidation to force diners into submission by raising a fist in support of BLM. How are Elected Officials going to keep Voters safe from this form of intimidation at the Polls?

The units of the Defense Army conduct successful operations, delivering strong blows to attacking units of the enemy. In the past three hours the enemy has lost 12 tanks. The number of other enemy losses are being clarified.

Always remember White extremists are terrified of 3 things: 1. Seeing 2. A Black person 3. While unarmed While White Extremists are very dangerous with a gun, without the gun they become what they are, uneducated cowards.

Intensive military operations continue along the entire length of the Artsakh front. The enemy, with the involvement of armored units, has launched attacks in the north-northeastern direction. StopAzerbaijaniAgression STOPALIYEV DefendArtsakh NKpeace
