Authors for ‘far-right terrorism’ book invited by a Department of Defense office

| January 31, 2024

Bruce Hoffman and Jacob Ware penned a book that centers on “far-right terrorism” in America. Their book follows its history in the U.S. from the Ku Klux Klan to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. Pentagon staff overseeing special operations and irregular warfare were invited to hear these individuals talk about their book, “God, Guns, and Sedition: Far-Right Terrorism in America.”

From The Daily Caller:

“This is the first of what we hope will be a series of brown bag events featuring internal and external speakers,” it said, and was signed by the “FO Team.”

The reminder included a brief description of the book and links to the author’s biographies in documents on the internal office drive.

“Serious acts of terrorism have erupted from violent American far-right extremists in recent years, including the 2015 mass murder at a historic Black church in Charleston and the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol,” the book synopsis, which was also included in the email, read.

“They are the latest flashpoints in a process that has been unfolding for decades, in which vast conspiracy theories and radical ideologies such as white supremacism, racism, antisemitism, xenophobia, and hostility to government converge into a deadly threat to democracy,” it said. “This talk, derived from the speakers’ new book, God, Guns, and Sedition (Columbia Univ. Press) discusses the rise of far-right terrorism in the United States, the impact of U.S. domestic terrorism on our foreign policy and our allies, and policy recommendations to counter far-right terrorism.”

The email did not explain why domestic terrorism, a problem outside of the DOD’s purview, was selected as the topic for the first book talk or who approved it. The DOD didn’t respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.

The Lollipop Tree might be more appropriate.

These guys are so full of shit. “…radical ideologies such as white supremacism, racism, antisemitism, xenophobia…” are all pillars of the Democratic Party/The Left. Who started the KKK? The Democrats that lost that the Civil War to terrorize freed blacks. Plessy vs. Ferguson, Jim Crow, and Segregation, still continues to this very day. Black only graduations, black only Christmas parties, racial & gender preferences are what the Dems support 100%.
The hostility to government is when the bureaucracy runs amok and tries to suppress freedom. Nothing Dems love more than trying to stomp out your personal freedoms. Probably some ChatGBT bullshit with some fake authors names just like SI was using before they got shut down.

^^^Absolutely correct. That is a slam dunk!

Hack Stone

You triggered Hack to run to his Safe Space and cry into the fur of his unicorn. It’s not a toy unicorn, but an actual unicorn. The word “amok” is racist! Hack Stone knows this because he read about some Filipino guy in Hawaii went bat shit because his wife was getting her “lumpia” from another guy and went on a killing spree. The police spokesman said that he ran amok, and that is when the Woke Mob unleashed their fury because the police used a Tagalog word to describe someone, who happened to be Filipino, freaking out and start killing people. Consider yourself cancelled.

Dems have always been pro-segregation. They’re just packaging it differently. What was it that Wallace guy said?

I live within reasonable driving distance from his grave. There is a reason I’ll never visit it as I’ll likely be arrested for pissing on it.

One of the major universities is segregating its swimming pool, so that only Blacks and POC can use the pool on certain days.

Will they be changing the water accordingly?

Yep, we saw how dangerous the far right wing was a coupla summers ago when all of the cities were being looted and burned. Saw it again when that heavily armed mob of far right wing folks invaded the Capital Building and nearly over threw the duly (s)elected government.

I wonder if hoffman and his side kick mentioned that in their book that his own peeps burned down and looted stores. Stick to making bottled soda pop hoffmen …

Yep, the summer of love brought to us by the remembrance of the Saint of Fentanyl by mostly white conservative males in their 40’s to 60’s. I recall it vividly.

Skivvy Stacker

Yes…I remember all those white supremisist, ultra right groups that burned Minneapolis to the ground in 2020.

I can see their concerns.

The weekend of June 19 2020 saw the largest domestic deployment of USARNG soldiers since the 60s. 62,000 guardsmen were called up to suppress all the right wing “protesters” who were peaceably looting TVs from the local Best Buy.. That would be something they would want to know more about.

Typo. The “FO Team” is actually the “ FU team.” //Sarc//

I would hardly call the KKK “far right” (just the opposite), and I would not call the 6 January 2021 Capital gathering “terrorism”.
Today’s conspiracy theory is tomorrow’s factual news story.
Today’s radical ideology is tomorrow’s DildoCrat wet dream unConstitutional law.
So the whole book and concept is blatant obfuscation, misdirection, projection, propaganda and outright lies.
Keep poking the bear, DildoCrats. We ain’t even begun to play “cowboys and libturds” yet.

The difference between Conspiracy Theory and the truth? Usually about 6 months…

When the Klan was active Republicans weren’t allowed to join. They were inarguably the enemy.

The pipe bombs (hoax) were likely staged by a federal operative as a visual tool to support the narrative. Of all the video surveillance in DC, they werent able to identify the person through forensic analysis, but were able to identify the Boston Marathon bombers within days of the incident. In a similar summary, I read that the feds were able to geofence all the cell phones in the area that day (and subequently identify the owners and rule them out as suspects), then claim the phone of the hooded suspect was “corrupted” and the only person they couldnt verify ownership through the carrier.

“Insurrection” my ass.

Ok, I lol’d. It took half a billion to figure it out eh? Few hundred million more and we might be talking real money.

Just one problem…the KKK was a militant arm of the demokkkratic party and is LEFTIST in its political ideology. As are ALL racial or identity groups….to paraphrase Ayn Rand, all collectivists are leftists.

“fuck ’em all to death sideways with pissed-off pufferfish” up their urethras?

I’d actually pay to see this. We should see if Dana White is interested in making more money, he can take the lion’s share of the venture, I just wanna be able to afford new fuel injectors on the diesel.

I guess that makes me the “right wing terrorist” now, expecting to pay my own way.

I’m sure they’ll also be discussing why right-wing terrorists are to blame for climate change and greenhouse gases too.

Saved round: In spite of the report that debunked the notion there is an extremism problem in DoD, that is being ignored because it doesn’t fit the current administrations’ narrative.

I suspect DoD selected the topic because they want to discuss solutions to problems that don’t exist.
