According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), it is a measurable fact that domestic terrorism is increasingly motivated by white supremacist ideology. Moreover, more Americans have died due to domestic terrorism than from international attacks since September 11, 2001.
El Paso massacre in Texas, coupled with the mass murder in Dyton, Ohio, are two clear signs that the enemy is at home. It is psychologically disturbed, and is provided with a junk intellectual arsenal to justify the violent seedbed that seeks to expand and it uses social networks as hate farms.
It will certainly be extremely important that Patrick Crusius could be identified as the author of the manifesto posted on the 8chan portal, minutes before he killed at least 22 people at a Walmart mall last Saturday.
However, it would be more interesting to know the excuses that the FBI investigators would give for their “inaction”, considering that they have known for years that domestic terrorists become more radical on social networks, where they get in touch with other extremists, find inspiration and the necessary resources to act.
The manifesto “The Inconvenient Truth”, a document that if it is linked to the murderer Patrick Crusius could aggravate “his sins”, is not only important because it agrees or not with Trump’s speech or because it specifies as “targets” Hispanics, Jews or Muslims. The real importance of the manifesto is that it would reveal a “strong organization” of a “global supremacist group”, connected to the internet, with common ideologists, like Renaud Camus and very clear objectives such as overcoming in “efficiency and audience” the mass murder of Muslims in two mosques in New Zealand in March, in which 51 people lost their lives.
The Senate on alert
Bureaucracy will always be a stone in the shoe. That could be the opinion of U.S. Sens. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and Gary C. Peters (D-Mich.), Chairman and Ranking Member of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee
On May, congressmen concerned about the wave of deadly domestic attacks, asked the FBI to report on how to track, categorize, and share information related to terrorism and national threats.
The letter has not yet been responded. But a new letter was sent to the FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General William Barr, where they point out that “These continued mass attacks make it clear that the federal government has more work to do in preventing domestic terrorism”
They added that they have concerns that the FBI and the Department of Justice have “failed to accurately track data on domestic terrorism and that federal law enforcement has been slow to respond to changing domestic threats.”
