Puppet Masters
The Minnesota progressive was asked in a resurfaced interview with Al Jazeera from August 2018 about the rise of Islamophobia, citing the attacks that killed eight people on a Manhattan bike path in 2017 and the 2015 terror attack in San Bernardino, Calif., that killed 14.
"I would say our country should be more fearful of white men across our country because they are actually causing most of the deaths within this country," Omar answered.
"And so if fear was the driving force of policies to keep America safe — Americans safe inside of this country — we should be profiling, monitoring, and creating policies to fight the radicalization of white men," she continued.
Omar, a Somalia-born Democrat, along with other first-year Democratic congresswomen — Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley — have been feuding with President Trump after he tweeted earlier this month that they should "go back and help fix the totally broken and crime-infested places from which they came."
Omar was the subject of "Send her back" chants at a recent Trump rally.
Among the foursome, Omar is the only foreign-born, and all are US citizens.
During testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee this week, FBI Director Christopher Wray remarked on the rise in domestic terror attacks carried out by white supremacists.
"A majority of the domestic terrorism cases we've investigated are motivated by some version of what you might call white supremacist violence," he said, adding that the FBI has recorded about 100 domestic terrorism events in the past nine months.
In May, Michael McGarrity, head of the FBI's counterterrorism division, said the agency has about 850 open domestic terrorism investigations and about 40 percent are motivated by racial extremism.
"The FBI assesses domestic terrorists collectively pose a persistent and evolving threat of violence and economic harm to the United States. In fact, there have been more arrests and deaths in the United States caused by domestic terrorists than international terrorists in recent years," McGarrity told the House Homeland Security Committee.

its called 3d chess
Heard the others though, taken out of context of course by the lame stream.
Swamp king 45 is specifically referring to some people that were seen in New Jersey celebrating 911 during the collapse. Talking to ABC in 2015 [Link] he says
There were people that were cheering on the other side of New Jersey where you have large Arab populations. They were cheering as the World Trade Center came down.But those people in New Jersey celebrating 911 were not Arabs. There was not "thousands and thousands." They were the four infamous Dancing Israelis
The Dancing Israelis: Newly Released FBI Docs Shed Light on Apparent Mossad Foreknowledge of 9/11 Attacks
New information released by the FBI has brought fresh scrutiny to the possibility that the "Dancing Israelis," at least two of whom were known Mossad operatives, had prior knowledge of the attacks...I think Trump was purposely deflecting from the actual truth. But who knows, he could be just mistaken or was told that there were Arabs in New Jersey celebrating 911. Whatever the truth is of & his actual statement, it's my favourite swamp king 45 quote
Swamp king later doubles down, tweeting [Link] about a WaPo article he thinks backs his claim [Link]
In Jersey City, within hours of two jetliners' plowing into the World Trade Center, law enforcement authorities detained and questioned a number of people who were allegedly seen celebrating the attacks and holding tailgate-style parties on rooftops while they watched the devastation on the other side of the river.That "number of people" weren't Arabs
They were Israelis, waving lighters and cheering on the three towers collapsed
The 'dancing Israelis' suggest Israel had a role in bringing about 9/11
FBI evidence supports prior knowledge or complicity The tale of 9/11 will just not go away, largely because it is clear to anyone who reads the lengthy 9/11 Commission Report that many issues that...FBI's redacted 9/11 'Dancing Israelis' photos analyzed
Comment: 9/11 researcher Ryan Dawson gives an interview regarding his analysis of redacted photos released by the FBI. There are still 66 more missing pictures.The dancing Israelis were there to witness the event as it happened, so had prior knowledge of it about to happen.
The arabs who were celebrating were thinking karmic justice like so many others, including myself until i became aware there's something fishy about the story and looked deeper.
But i agree with you Trump is listening to the isrealis to much. It's a shame as some of us had some hope of him exposing the fiasco after beating the cackling wicked witch of the west.
What "proof" he provide is an article in WaPo [Link] which refers to the arrest of the infamous Dancing Israelis. Not Arabs
It was not dark when they were seen. At 8am, a good 40 minutes before the attack, the Dancing Israelis were witnessed at the Doric Apartment Complex in New Jersey [Link] which has a clear view of the twin towers. As the towers collapsed at free fall speed, a witness saw the Israelis on the roof of their van cheering, waving lighters, and high-fiving
Comment: Note, Omar isn't even saying that 'white males' should be more feared than 'Muslims'. She's saying random white men should be more feared than Islamic terrorists! If profiling and monitoring Arabs or black people based purely on their race is racist (and it is!), then so is doing the same toward white men. The new 'woke' is actually the radicalization of so-called progressives toward 'compassionate' bigotry and division.
