Eventually, mainstream media is going to make themselves a target from real extremists. Granted at first they'll probably like it because it will bring more attention to them, until it gets real.

The MSM is the perpetual "boy who cried wolf." First it was the militias who were the extremists. Then the Tea Party. Then the Oath Keepers. Then the Proud Boys. Then the Alt-Right. Now it's the "Boogaloo Movement". The reality is that not a single one of those "movements" advocated offensive violence (defensive violence maybe but not offensive). Furthermore, none of them had/has a centralized command or leadership with maybe the exception of the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys but that was short lived, at least in my observation.

A militia in the hills of Kentucky isn't coordinating with Catskillkid's Big Igloo chapter (FYI...Catskillkid does not have a Big Igloo, Big Luau, Bogaloo or any variant thereof chapter or association...though he does own guns and Hawaiian shirts). If any violence occurs it's of the Lone Wolf variant and you can't blame a nebulous movement on that. I mean, we supposedly can't blame Antifa for violence but if a so-called Boogie Boy takes pot shots defending a business or a residence during a BLM riot (which are being bankrolled and directed by left-wing organizations) that's automatically a terrorist incident? Give me a break.

It all boils down to the fact that the MSM is pushing an agenda, and anyone with half a brain can see that. I see it all the time. The Southern Poverty Law Center brands a group/movement a right wing hate group (and they've never met ANY conservative group that they didn't automatically label a hate group) and the MSM media just reports it as fact. No digging. No interviewing of supposed members to see what they really believe or their real ideology. Nope, just a bunch of white supremacists with guns who hate people of color. And women too probably. And dogs...yeah definitely dogs. The cuter the puppies the more they hate them.

For crying out loud, they're still trying to convince people that the Ku Klux Klan is alive and well and a force to be reckoned with in modern America. The KKK hasn't been a organization of concern since the late '60s - early '70s when they were infiltrated by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies. The modern KKK has what, a few thousand active members tops across the whole country and every other one of those members is an FBI informant or undercover law enforcement officer? Same with neo-Nazis/skinheads. Not a single organization in the modern conservative movement wants to associate with either of those groups yet they're all lumped in together. Yet BLM and Antifa, who are openly Marxist and anarchist respectively, are put on a pedestal? Don't tell me there isn't a hidden agenda here.

I'd like to think that most intelligent people can see through this crap but the overall intelligence of the average US citizen is severely lacking these days.

We always have to careful about the use of ""experts"" in the media. Anytime I hear them say ""experts tell us"", My sonar starts to ping like a bell.

I demonstrate the following :

""Authorities"" who study extremism told Congress Thursday that far-right groups, not the radicals of antifa, currently pose the most serious threat of political violence in America — including attacks on the police.


“The facts are right now that right-wing extremism is the bigger problem. That’s where the violence is coming from,” said Heidi Beirich, the recent co-founder of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism and former director of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Intelligence Project, where she spent the past two decades tracking and reporting on far-right extremist activity in the U.S.

Beirich was called to testify Thursday as part of a virtual hearing of the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Intelligence & Counterterrorism, along with JJ MacNab, a fellow at George Washington University’s Program on Extremism, and John Donohue, the former chief of strategic initiatives for the New York City Police Department and a fellow at Rutgers University’s Miller Center for Community Protection and Resilience.

Heidi Beirich,

“Sometimes Americans forget that this country
was founded on white supremacy.”
(Heidi Beirich, May 2017)



Before Heidi Beirich began working at the Southern Poverty Law Center in 1999, she was a left-wing ideologue preparing for a career in the academy. She was a graduate of UC Berkeley and had earned a doctorate in political science from Purdue, where she pursued her interest in the maladies of "white nationalism and neo-fascism". She was steeped in the ideology of postmodernism, which regards the history of Western Civilization — especially in the United States — as an endlessly dreary tale of oppression in the service of white supremacy. As Beirich told ABC News, "I think sometimes Americans forget that this country was founded on white supremacy."


Beirich applies the hate-group smear with all the precision and of a juvenile delinquent spray-painting obscenities on a schoolyard wall. She is equally reckless in her designation of extremists. As RealClearPolitics reported last year, "You can find yourself on the SPLC's 'hate map' if you haven't gotten fully aboard on gay marriage — or the Democratic Party's immigration views. In other words, the [SPLC] classifies individuals and organizations as purveyors of 'hate' for holding the same view on marriage espoused by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton until mid-2012."

Despite her record of reputational rampage, Beirich is highly regarded on the campuses of such elite institutions as Middlebury College. Last year, students at the Vermont school went on a tear after reading the SPLC's designation of conservative intellectual Charles Murray, whose first wife was Asian-American, as a white nationalist. Chanting insults, setting off fire alarms and shouting Murray down, the students drove him off campus. They also put Middlebury in the center of a discussion on the rise of intolerance for conservative ideas and free speech at colleges across the country.

Looking Behind the Curtain

Despite this record, Beirich and the SPLC are still treated as credible by some elite reporters, most prominently at the New York Times. But other, less ideologically invested reporters, have looked behind the curtain of tolerance at the SPLC's Montgomery, Ala., headquarters, which is so lavish that locals call it "the poverty palace".

SPLC's Heidi Beirich: A Character Assassin Under the Banner of 'Peace, Respect, and Understanding'

Beirich, head of the SPLC's Intelligence Project, routinely engages in distortion, half-truths, cheap shots, smears, and character assassination. She is the reason why National Review has written that while the SPLC was "once valuable", it has become "hateful and vile".
