Report: August FBI Memo Called ‘Black Identity Extremists’ New Terror Threat
In August, the FBI’s counterterrorism division published a report warning law enforcement across the country of a new threat. It called the threat “Black Identity Extremism.”
In reality, there is no “Black Identity Extremist” movement, at least not one that goes by that name. It appears to be an invented label, Foreign Policy reported. The publication revealed the existence of the counterterrorism memo Friday and briefly posted the actual document on its website before removing it.
According to the FBI, “it is very likely some BIEs are influenced by a mix of anti-authoritarian, Moorish sovereign citizen ideology, and BIE ideology.”
The report found it “very likely” that the police killing of Ferguson, Missouri teenager Michael Brown — and the subsequent decision by a grand jury not to indict the officer responsible for his death — “spurred an increase in premeditated, retaliatory lethal violence against law enforcement and will very likely serve as justification for such violence.”
“ncidents of alleged police abuse against African Americans since then have continued to feed the resurgence in ideologically motivated, violent criminal activity within the BIE movement,” the report said, referring to Michael Brown’s death.
Running 12 pages — including end notes and citations — the report included six examples of premeditated violence against police officers by black people judged to have been motivated by identity extremism.
“In all six targeted attacks since 2014,” the report said, “the FBI assesses it is very likely the BIE suspects acted in retaliation for perceived past police brutality.”
It noted: “Even though five of these attacks occurred following controversial police shooting of African Americans by white police officers, BIE targeting of officers was not, in every incident, based on their specific race.”
One individual profiled was Micah Johnson, who killed five police officers in a rampage in Dallas in July 2016, firing his first shots during a Black Lives Matter march. “ased on Johnson’s journal writings and statements to police, he appeared to have been influenced by BIE ideology,” the report said.
The term “black identity extremists” doesn’t appear to have been used by counterterrorism officials before the FBI’s August report. The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services appears to have been one of the first organizations to employ the new term, in a course description flagged by Foreign Policy for the upcoming training event “Introduction to Domestic Extremism and Hate Groups.”
“Domestic extremist movements covered will include white supremacists/white nationalists, black identity extremists, anarchists, animal rights and eco-terrorists, anti-government and other radical separatists groups,” the course description read.
Counterterrorism and homeland security experts interviewed by Foreign Policy expressed skepticism at the new label.
Michael German, a former FBI agent turned Brennan Center fellow, said: “Basically, it’s black people who scare them.”

Oh you thought white folks were done with their extinction agenda?
The only question is what are you doing to prepare for the moment they greenlight us?
This revelation i believe is a precursor to a staged event/crisis that they will pin on Black Men. So going ghost maybe the only option. -
They're on this site..and any other place we congregate...taking notes and studying....

Yo, anybody remember that episode of Cosmic Slop where some aliens came to the Earth and offered the world a bunch of things if they gave up all the black people and it turned out the aliens were taking the black people to paradise. We need that to be real life right about now.

Someone told me trump is good for Black people.

They're doing everything to distance white supremacy from domestic terrorism. Every time a white man commits terrorism they label it lone wolf. If they call it what it is then you open Pandora's box and people will ask questions and the rabbit hole will go deeper. -

Huh? Who would disagree with that? -

Nah, I get that, but he said that people were disagreeing that white supremacists should be treated as domestic terrorists. Even with all the differing viewpoints on this site, I don't think anyone disagrees with that. -

Mfs was too busy asking how is Trump racist and how will his presidency affect Black people and imagining not voting as a valid strategy.
Not to forget Hillary having an email server, saying "super-predator", and all that other dumb ? .
Let's talk about it now. -

@Black_Samson if that becomes the case, what doors does that open as far as detainment is concerned?
-
And Tareeq was part of the non-voting ? . It's cool MFs spreading knowledge now, but that hypocrisy should be kept in mind.
You had MFs essentially making it easy for Trump to win by encouraging not voting and constantly talking about Hillary and the democrats like if the republicans had some kind of better reputation ....
Now these same MFs like 'Oh - Look at what Trump's administration doing !' -

Right... you also got those MFs who say "Trump is the best thing to happen for Black people" ... with some ? ? rationale that Black people needed to be woke or some dumb ? -
Like we haven't been noticing the racism, police brutality, injustice - and all that other ? going on for the last few decades.
MFs like this ain't worth the conversation. It seems like just another way of not admitting they were wrong about Trump, or if they weren't pro Trump - then a way of not accepting the reality and just enjoying the world burn, misery type of MFs.
Ain't no way was it necessary for a "Trump" to be in office for Black people to know that racism exists.
Ask them specifically what action Trump took that benefited Black people ?
Ask 'em the opposite - what has his admin done that will have a negative impact on Black people ?
