Qanon delusion of 'Trump's reinstatement' may trigger white extremist havoc this summer in the US
By Edward Era Barbacena
The Unites States of Homeland Security issued a dire warning of threats to the law enforcement security agencies, reiterating the high risks and foreseable crisis of extremist violence mostly from the white supremacists in the upcomming weeks due to the factors of easing Covid-19 restrictions, anniversaries of past white terrors ( e.g. mass shootings ) and most bizzare of all of these is the Qanon conspiracy theory that former President Trump will be reinstated in August.
" In a sense we have a perfect storm." one senior law enforcement official told the media. "It's a very volatile moment and it's about to be more target-rich environtment."
The Department of Homeland Security wrote/posted in a bulletin to 18,000 securities across the United States: "In the recent weeks, domestic violent extremist motivated by various violent ideologies have continued to advocate violence and plan attacks. As of June 16, racially or ethnically motivated violent extremist-white supremacist were sharing downloadable to a publication discussing targeting mass gatherings, critical infrastructure and law enforment officers,... sociopolitical factors that possibly contributed to violent acts in 2020, including social isolation and other pandemic-related stressors and divisive political climates, continue to exist."
The bulletin also notes two worse forms of domestic violence perpetuated by white nationalists - the El Paso mass shooting at Walmart which took place on August 3, 2019 and the Charlottesvile rally and savagery of the white supremacist that took place on August 12, 2017.
In addition, the Qanon conspiracy believers and sympathizers continue to push and promote the absurd idea that former president Trump will return to power in August. The DHS bulettin states according to politico "We have no evidence of associated threats with the August date but historically some domestic violent extremists have conducted violence in furtherance of conspiracy theories "
On Trump rally in Idaho last week, some of his supporters warned of a "civil war" if he will not be reinstated in August. Also last week, top official of DHS told the members of the congress about his deep concerns regarding the problems and troubles that will be brought by the Qanon conspiracy theory and its adherents who are pushing the absurd ideology of Trump being reinstated in August.
