In an address to the International Association of Chiefs of Police conference in San Diego, California on Saturday, FBI Director Christopher Wray issued a dire warning about the rise of violent extremism, both domestic and international.
The warning comes amid ongoing conflict between Israel and the militant group Hamas, which has already claimed thousands of lives, including 29 Americans.
“Before I get into some of the specific ways we’re doing that work together, I want to take a moment to offer my heartfelt condolences to the people of Israel, and share the outrage that I know we all feel at the sheer brutality and disregard for innocent lives there,” said Wray.
“History has been witness to antisemitic and other forms of violent extremism for far too long. Whether that be from foreign terrorist organizations, or those inspired by them, or domestic violent extremists motivated by their own racial animus, the targeting of a community because of their faith is totally unacceptable,” he added.
“We remain committed to continue confronting those threats—both here in the United States and overseas.”
Wray indicated that there has been a significant uptick in reported threats following the attacks, cautioning the public to remain vigilant for “lone actors.”
“In this heightened environment, there’s no question we’re seeing an increase in reported threats, and we’ve got to be on the lookout, especially for lone actors who may take inspiration from recent events to commit violence of their own.
“So I encourage you to stay vigilant, because as the first line of defense in protecting our communities, you’re often the first to see the signs that someone may be mobilizing to violence. And I’d also ask you to continue sharing any intelligence or observations you may have. And on our end, we’re committed to doing the same, so that together, we can safeguard our communities,” he added.
WATCH:
Get ready for a false flag event. Wray is the deep state gift that keeps on giving.
He must mean BLM! Right? Yeah, I'm only kidding.
{sniff! sniff!}
This smells like a leftist power-grab tactic.
Just damage control from his attack on Americans who were worried about Hamas.
This fool isn’t even qualified to change Biden’s diapers.
Yeah sure he’s concerned about terrorism but leaves the southern border wide open. If we in fact do experience a terrorist act it will solely because they allowed these terrorist easy entry.
It’s against Free Republic tradition to read the whole article. So I must ask:
Did Director Wray mention Biden’s insane open-border policy in his warning?
I kid, of course. It’s more likely that Wray will applaud Biden for making America’s criminals more diverse.
Fridays day of jihad was a blowout.
How did they get here? Was it the 0bama flights or the FJB open border? Will the FIB charge 0/FJB as accomplices?
“ Does this mean the FBI will no longer be surveilling Catholic churches and people wearing MAGA hats? And actually pursuing true threats?”
No.
Wray is another candidate for the “Nobel Prize in gaslighting.”
Cong Dan Goldman is also a candidate.....for his ability
to use “conservatives and swastikas” in the same sentence.
“...you’re often the first to see the signs that someone may be mobilizing to violence. And I’d also ask you to continue sharing any intelligence or observations you may have.”
Gratuitous CYA nonsense from Wray, trying to shift the blame away from his incompetent agency.
Quite likely!
Teachers should educate students in attack defense.
Police should be at or near schools.
Gyms should screen entrants to verify membership.
White people and devout Christians.
When did the FBI last told the truth?
Biden’s potiticized FBI is good at chasing Catholics who like the Latin mass, parents who speak at school board meetinfs and MAGA voters. They are not so good at tracking terrorists who walked into the US across Biden’s open border.
“And in the meantime, we in the FBI are going to continue to go after Christians, conservatives, and parents who ask questions at school board meetings with all the weapons at our disposal.”
Hey Deep state Wray,
Ever notice how Hamas is *literally* “bitterly clinging to their guns and religion”?
See, the MAGA types are all pro-life and DON’T KILL BABIES.
A cynic might suggest that makes you and 0moeba look like what Goebbels said, “Always accuse the enemy of that which you are guilty.”
The Israelis missed it and the FBI and the CIA missed it also. This is the biggest breach since 911. Christopher Wray you blew it. Go ahead hunt down Maga. No, you can’t walk and chew gum at the same time.
Given the incompetent leadership policies in this country of late, I think most Americans know the dangers we as Americans face.
The only reason one would think otherwise is because Christopher Wray has sounded the alarm.
America would be safer without the FBI. Defund and shutter the FBI along with a majority of the administrative state.
