White House Plans Security Boost On Civil Terrorism Fears

White House Plans Security Boost On Civil Terrorism Fears As FBI Investigates Revolutionary Leftist Groups In Kirk Assassination

TYLER DURDEN

The Trump administration has sounded the alarm on what we've openly described as "civil terrorism" -  revolutionary left-wing political violence - following the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. In a sign of urgency, the White House requested an extra $58 million in security funding for the executive and judicial branches, according to a Bloomberg News report.

Here's the threat landscape:

• Kill-List Risks: Kirk's assassination should be interpreted by America First leaders and thought leaders as the potential beginning of a sequential campaign of targeted political violence. The message is obvious: revolutionary armed Marxist radicals won't stop at Kirk. 

• Overnight Federal Response: The FBI disclosed, as per Axios, that agents have opened investigations into leftist groups believed to have had prior knowledge of the attack. No names were released, but the admission marks a significant concern among investigators. Hence, the White House's move to request $58 million security boost. 

• Organized Conspiracy In Kirk's Assassination? GPS-based research flagged by analyst Tony Seruga suggests as many as a dozen co-conspirators may have been involved - raising the odds of a coordinated network rather than a lone-wolf incident.

More detail on the White House's request for a $58 million security boost for top officials (via Bloomberg):

The request to include the extra funding in an upcoming stopgap bill comes ahead of a Sept. 30 deadline when the current federal spending law runs out. Punchbowl News first reported on the funding request.

The administration also signaled support for expanding resources to safeguard lawmakers, though it left the specifics of that decision to the legislative branch, the outlet reported.

Before the assassination of Kirk, we had already assessed and warned of an emerging radical leftist threat environment with potential threat risks to the Trump administration, America First leadership, and individuals holding any opposing viewpoints to those of the left. There were some indicators of escalation visible well in advance, suggesting that the attack on Kirk could be part of a broader wave and a new era of civil terrorism, versus what was previously thought as an isolated event:

The Axios report did not provide names of the radical leftist groups under investigation in Utah. Still, there is suspicion surrounding multiple groups, including "Armed Queers Salt Lake City" and the "Socialist Rifle Association."
