On this blog, I and many others bloggers have decried US law enforcement’s focus on preventing terrorist activities by foreigners when the odds of Americans being harmed by domestic terrorists are much greater. But this set of priorities is not likely to change while we have a republican President Donald Trump in the White House who refuses to deal with credible studies but instead bases his policies on “fake news” supportive of his own ideology.
It is important to note that White Supremacists’ groups have been using similar recruiting tactics practiced by ISIS as well as connecting with others via the same social website. There is a Russian version of Facebook, VK (VKontakte), which has been attracting a significant number of followers…

Best wishes, Pete.

Dear Kim,
The president’s administration has refused to allow for any monies to be distributed to Christian Picciolini’s non profit group, “Life After Hate,” a group set up to help peoples leave White supremacists/ nationalists cults.

Hugs, Gronda
