In the U.S., this has included the demonization of political rivals resulting in attacks, attempted attacks and threats against politicians, activists and others.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"cmj23\"\u003eOne of the most high-profile such attacks took place on Oct. 28 at the San Francisco home of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). Pelosi was in Washington, D.C., at the time, but the attacker gained entry to the house and attacked her husband, Paul, who was seriously injured and hospitalized.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"dsie9\"\u003eTwo days later in the U.K., an immigration center in the port of Dover temporarily housing asylum seekers who crossed the English Channel in small boats was attacked with a firebomb. Two people were injured, and many others terrorized.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"5pl1f\"\u003eIt was found that the perpetrator, Andrew Leak, 66, who later killed himself, had been motivated by extreme right-wing ideology. As a result, the attack is now being treated as a terrorist incident.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"5d3tj\"\u003eA variety of ideologies can inspire extremist violence, but right-wing extremism has become the greater threat in the West.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"1gtbh\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Winding Path to Extremism\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/b\u003eAccording to counterterrorism analysts, the alleged perpetrator of the attack on the Pelosi household, David DePape, had a checkered history of online radicalization.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"dqk6j\"\u003eHis was not a straight path to the far right. Cynthia Miller-Idriss, the director of the Polarization and Extremism Research and Innovation Lab at American University in Washington, D.C., called it “a choose-your-own-adventure type of radicalization.”\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"ef1ma\"\u003eOver an eight-year period, DePape is said to have switched horses from environmentalism -- including membership in the Green Party -- to a venomous concoction of racism, antisemitism and misogyny common on the far right.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"9lau3\"\u003eThe switch, fueled by multiple online sources, came in 2014 during the “Gamergate” online abuse campaign that targeted female video game developers and critics.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"7ef93\"\u003eBlog posts in October showed that he had fully succumbed to right-wing extremism, including violent images and a stream of hatred aimed at Jewish, black and trans people and Democrats.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"fp3ms\"\u003eOn the other side of the Atlantic, police found that an hour before the Dover firebombing, Leak had tweeted “We will obliterate them Muslim children [they] are now our target. And there [sic] disgusting women will be targeted mothers and sisters Is burn alive.”\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"65g3n\"\u003eHe was discovered to be an active follower of anti-refugee groups that film and harass asylum seekers as they arrive in Dover and other Channel ports.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"7m5rk\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTerror Jumps from the Virtual World to the Real\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/b\u003eCounterterror authorities and law enforcement seek to identify the point at which a person goes from dabbling in online chat rooms, believing conspiracy theories and following far-right movements to planning or conducting terrorist attacks.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"d09l2\"\u003eIn DePape’s case, the vilification of Democrats crystallized into a belief that he had to take action, in this case targeting Speaker of the House Pelosi. He told police that he had other targets, including prominent state and federal politicians and their relatives.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"9vnab\"\u003eHe told authorities that he was “sick of the insane ... level of lies coming out of Washington, D.C.,” and came to the Pelosi residence to “have a little chat” with Nancy Pelosi. He said he was on a “suicide mission.”\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"htg\"\u003eOne trigger for lone wolf attacks driven by politics or religion can be events in their personal lives. In an age where everything has become personalized and grievances are amplified on social media, chat rooms and the like, disgruntled individuals (usually males) have become increasingly prone to crossing the boundary from sounding off on websites to taking violent action.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"c8434\"\u003eDePape’s delusional posts included an invisible fairy that sometimes appeared as a bird. An ex told reporters that he was “mentally ill.”\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"39li0\"\u003eSimilarly, it was found that Leak, who attacked the British immigration center, also had “mental health issues.”\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"39rlq\"\u003eThis is often part of the picture in lone terror cases. An incident or disadvantage in the lives of the radicalized is not processed logically. Instead, the individual chooses to blame a specific group, often a minority, for their problems, as well as those suffered by their communities and country.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"b0c45\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eConspiracy Theories Feed Violence\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/b\u003eFar-right extremism often dovetails with, or evolves from, conspiracy theories. In recent years, these have rapidly proliferated via social media.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"13bv0\"\u003eIn September, for example, Leak tweeted the anti-migration group Migration Watch UK: “All these boats [holding the refugees] are made in the same place by the U.N. pier 52.”\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"auhuc\"\u003eThe QAnon movement in the U.S. is based on arguably the most notorious conspiracy theory to have emerged in recent years. Believing that “a group of Satan-worshipping elites (mostly Democrats) who run a child sex ring are trying to control our politics and media,” QAnon has flooded the internet with false information about the COVID-19 pandemic, Black Lives Matter protests and the 2020 presidential election. (For more on QAnon, please see Military Periscope’s special report, “\u003ca href=\"https://www.militaryperiscope.com/reports/screen-capitol/\"\u003eFrom The Screen To The Capitol\u003c/a\u003e.”)\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"e2mhq\"\u003eWhile there have always been conspiracy theories, their newfound ability to go mainstream, and become increasingly acceptable to a wider range of people, often spurring violent action, has become a growing problem. An early example was the December 2016 shooting at the Comet Ping Pong pizzeria in Washington, D.C., inspired by the “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory that alleged that a child sex-trafficking ring was operating from the restaurant. There were fortunately no casualties in that incident.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"36d6d\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFar-Left and Far-Right Share Some Grievances\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/b\u003eThe road from left to right-wing extremism, as apparently traveled by DePape, is not as far as one might think. There are numerous areas of overlap, such as antisemitism; anti-establishment movements; anti-state groups; and misogyny.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"1i5m6\"\u003eAccording to Daniel Koehler, the director of the German Institute for Radicalization and De-Radicalization Studies, these bridges work “as a kind of ideological highway between these environments that are usually very exclusive and consider each other to be mortal enemies.”\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"1a5hu\"\u003eThe most recent example of such bridges is the anti-vaxxer and COVID-19 denier movements, which have ironically brought together far-left and white supremacists in protests.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"acg62\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOnline Communities Provide Space for Radicalization\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/b\u003eThe online world can encourage the unwary to drift toward cults or withdraw from normal life. Radicalization increasingly takes place in the seclusion of the online world.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"977vn\"\u003eObjectionable ideas that previously were espoused in small groups in places like the back rooms of bars, and largely ignored by most others, including potential supporters, have increasingly become widespread and available online. This has increased the reach of these ideas and allowed disgruntled individuals to find safe spaces among other like-minded people.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"6a8ra\"\u003eIn many cases, such spaces are not found on well-known platforms such as Twitter (although the latter has been implicated in providing a platform for hate speech). Instead, they gather in chat rooms or other spaces far from the limelight. Antiterror authorities and intelligence agencies try to monitor such sites; a herculean task given the nature of the internet.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"7ek24\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eExtremism Goes Mainstream\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/b\u003eAnother problem is that extremism is increasingly being driven by official sources, governments and popular media, creating new triggers for terrorism.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"b31fv\"\u003eIncreasing extremism and political polarization began prior to 2016, which saw the Brexit referendum in the U.K. and Donald Trump’s election victory. The far right was on the march, with more right-wing governments coming to power around the world. In the U.S., groups that would have been ostracized in the past, such as the \u003ca href=\"https://www.militaryperiscope.com/wt/cms/pages/404964/edit/preview/\"\u003eProud Boys\u003c/a\u003e, QAnon and the Oathkeepers, became more mainstream.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"5rvaq\"\u003eIn many cases, authorities have not caught up. Cunning extremist groups have targeted some agencies, particularly in the security field, for penetration and recruitment, hindering investigations into right-wing threats. When right-wing leaders enter government, resources are redirected toward whatever threat they deem to be most important.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"679pd\"\u003eIn the case of the Dover firebombing investigation, counterterror police were not involved until two days after the attack. Right-wing extremism is often not treated as terrorism unless the perpetrator is found to have possessed extremist literature or left an electronic footprint showing such beliefs.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"sv65\"\u003eAccording to the British antifascist charity Hope Not Hate, some 165 far-right-inspired incidents have occurred at immigration facilities so far this year. It said the British government’s “demonization” of asylum seekers and refugees was “mainstreaming anti-migrant rhetoric and encouraging far-right groups to target” these people.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"fta7u\"\u003eSenior researcher Patrik Hermansson noted that the prevailing theme of Leak’s posts were: “the current hostile climate against migrants and the harsh focus on Channel crossings and migrant accommodation by the government, the media and the far right.”\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"8bdhu\"\u003eIt is easy for politicians to encourage voters to blame anyone else for mistaken policies. But using inflammatory rhetoric like “invasion” to describe asylum seekers, as British Home Secretary Suella Braverman did in early November, has consequences.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"1qi2n\"\u003eIt is not just politicians that can feed this violence. Right-leaning newspapers and TV cable news networks also serve to legitimize extremist ideas with provocative headlines and broadcasts. Despite this, many Western governments have failed to take a stand against right-wing terrorism. The British government, for example, rarely speaks out against right-wing threats compared with other forms, such as jihadist terrorism.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"4q0ok\"\u003eIn many places in the West, anti-immigrant sentiments have become commonplace, whether in public, in political statements, in the press, talk radio or online. Like a virus, this rhetoric has increasingly leapt from relative obscurity into the mainstream of public conversation with leading political and other public figures stirring the flames.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"4scse\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eEchoes of Insurrection\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/b\u003eThe attack on the Pelosis was a shocking echo of the mob’s taunts during the insurrection at the Capitol in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6, 2021. DePape was reported to have said “Where is Nancy?” during his rampage through her home. The rioters who ransacked the office of the Speaker nearly two years ago shouted as they hunted for her: “Nancy! Nancy Pelosi!,” “Where you at, Nancy?,” “Where’s Nancy?”\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"aftus\"\u003eSome analysts argue that the failure of the government to crack down on the perpetrators of the Jan. 6 attack has emboldened extremists, exacerbated by right-wing media and politicians (some of whom were under threat during the assault) downplaying the seriousness of the insurrection.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"d2c9m\"\u003eThis apparent new wave of political violence appears to include lone wolf-style attacks. Targets have expanded beyond the U.S. Democratic Party and opponents of former President Trump. In June, a man turned himself in after plotting to attack Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh at his Maryland home. The next month, Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.) was attacked during a campaign stop in upstate New York as he ran for governor. The assailant was quickly apprehended.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"center_aligned_text_block\" data-block-key=\"6r3iu\"\u003e***\u003c/div\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"cp2of\"\u003eThere are concerns that the U.S. may be ripe for a new wave of political violence. The refusal of many Republicans to stand against right-wing extremism and acknowledge President Biden’s election victory in 2020 has emboldened the extremists. Some right-wing politicians continue to court extremist elements and spout conspiracy theories about the validity of American elections among other issues.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"9kmtv\"\u003eFar-right elements, including those that contributed to and took part in the Jan. 6 insurrection, remain a threat to American democracy. Although the recent midterm elections appeared to reject many election-deniers running for office, dozens of Republicans were elected or re-elected who remain loyal to Trump and continue to denounce any election results in which their preferred candidates lose.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp data-block-key=\"272h8\"\u003eThis threat is unlikely to go away. The far-right in the U.S. will continue to try to spread its message and gain adherents ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
