PBS investigative report delves into violent far-right militias

FRONTLINE PBS American Insurrection https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcGi4maiJW8

FRONTLINE, ProPublica and UC Berkeley’s Investigative Reporting Program present “American Insurrection”: a timely, 90-minute documentary that probes the far-right groups and leaders responsible for the recent threats and violence.

Over the last three years, FRONTLINE has collaborated with ProPublica to investigate the rise of extremism in America. Now, in the aftermath of the assault on the U.S. Capitol, FRONTLINE, ProPublica and UC Berkeley's Investigative Reporting Program team up to examine how far-right groups were emboldened and encouraged by former President Trump and how individuals were radicalized and brought into the political landscape.

This video is now rated by youtube as "offensive" to some in the community, but they are still making it available.

We watched this gripping documentary last night and saved it to DVD. This is, IMHO, historical and insightful reporting. One of the young organizers is briefly reported as "disappearing" from social media and his community after being interviewed for the segment. Where he has gone, no one knows, but it looks like many of the nut-jobs formerly encouraged by the Trump White House have gone underground to continue their madness or to try to blend back into society after the colossal failure of January 6, 2021.

This is a must-see for everyone here.

Never forget. :evil:

Yes, Len, I agree. Out of 300+ cases the Justice Department is now investigating, I wonder how many are crying "victim" of Trump's and Giuliani's instigation tactics?

It remains to be seen whether those two will be indicted or if so how soon, but I'll wager they will be eventually.

Sedition is a very serious crime.

Never forget. :evil:
