You May Be A Domestic Terrorist If You Believe In...
A West Point study from the Combatting Terrorism Center by author Arie Perliger, entitled “Challengers from the Sidelines: Understanding America’s Violent Far-Right” asserts that in the last few years, and especially since 2007, there has been a dramatic rise in the number of attacks and violent plots originating from individuals and groups who self-identify with the far-right of American politics.
These incidents cause many to wonder whether these are isolated attacks, an increasing trend, part of increasing societal violence, or attributable to some other condition. To date, however, there has been limited systematic documentation and analysis of incidents of American domestic violence.
This study provides a conceptual foundation for understanding different far-right groups and then presents the empirical analysis of violent incidents to identify those perpetrating attacks and their associated trends.
Before conceptualizing far-right ideology, it is important to note that the following paragraphs, while using concepts which may be perceived as pejorative, are not intended to provide moral judgment of the groups which comprise the far right, but to point out their shared ideas and norms by using concepts which are accepted and well defined within the academic literature. These norms and ideas are further exemplified and brought to life in later parts of this study, which will provide high-resolution analysis of the ideology of the violent American far right.
If there is one ideological doctrine about which there is almost full consensus regarding its importance for understanding the far-right worldview, it is that of nationalism.
(1) What are the main current characteristics of the violence produced by the far right?
(2) What type of far-right groups are more prone than others to engage in violence? How are characteristics of particular far-right groups correlated with their tendency to engage in violence?
(3) What are the social and political factors associated with the level of far-right violence? Are there political or social conditions that foster or discourage violence?
It is important to note that this study concentrates on those individuals and groups who have actually perpetuated violence and is not a comprehensive analysis of the political causes with which some far-right extremists identify. While the ability to hold and appropriately articulate diverse political views is an American strength, extremists committing acts of violence in the name of those causes undermine the freedoms they purport to espouse.
Violence derived from the modern anti-federalist movement appeared in full force only in the early to mid-1990s and is interested in undermining the influence, legitimacy and effective sovereignty of the federal government and its proxy organizations. The anti-federalist rationale is multifaceted, and includes the beliefs that the American political system and its proxies were hijacked by external forces interested in promoting a “New World Order” (NWO) in which the United States will be absorbed into the United Nations or another version of global government. They also espouse strong convictions regarding the federal government, believing it to be corrupt and tyrannical, with a natural tendency to intrude on individuals’ civil and constitutional rights. Finally, they support civil activism, individual freedoms, and self government. Extremists in the anti-federalist movement direct most their violence against the federal government and its proxies in law enforcement.
Lastly, the fundamentalist stream, which includes mainly Christian Identity groups such as the Aryan Nations, fuse religious fundamentalism with traditional white supremacy and racial tendencies, thus promoting ideas of nativism, exclusionism, and racial superiority through a unique interpretation of religious texts that focuses on division of humanity according to primordial attributes. More specifically, these group maintain that a correct interpretation of the holy texts reveals that it is not the people of Israel but the Anglo-Saxons who are the chosen people and therefore assert their natural superior status. Moreover, the war between the forces of light and darkness, as portrayed in the Bible, will be (or has already been) manifested through a racial war between the white Anglo-Saxon nation and various non-Anglo-Saxon ethnic groups. Operationally, violence carried out by extremists associated with Identity groups focuses on minorities and Identity members have a higher tendency to engage in mass casualty attacks in comparison to other movements.

While I haven’t attacked anyone outside of the verbal assaults on Obama sheep, I would say check, check and check on this part of the assessment.
This article was clearly written by an Obamabot.
Good Work!!!!
Since when is lying to people considered good work? Unless the lie itself is good work in the view of other liars.
truth, and for no agenda reasons. Once you form gangs, they just HAVE to be used.
truth, and for no agenda reasons. Once so-called poople form gangs they just have to be used in a gang fashion. Even if STORIES have to be made up to incite the gangs to action. Good luck with that.
Except for cross burning and intimidation (think anti-abortion groups) most of that activity presented in the first graph is normally associated with Leftist activists groups. PETA, A.L.F., Weather Underground, etc.
I think whoever originally wrote up this report is projecting…
In other words, they took the leftist model and added “right wing” with false allegations of racism and what not, and called it good? What a crock of shite report this became.
