(14,951 posts)White supremacists aren't normally known for their quiet demeanor, intelligence and ability to organize - especially when needed to be inserted as hidden agents within an organization. Unless I've lost track of the various Aryan Nations, KKK, Birchers, etc., most of these groups have been able to be exposed through stupidity. What I'm thinking is that there may be other groups that are not stupid, groups that have a cause (national, international) that can have a tremendous influence on the normal life of the country.
What if there is a more nebulous thread of incitement from outside of the police forces that can stroke/stoke those loose cannons without giving away the thread's presence? When people are off-hinged (power, PTSD, drugs, genetics, blackmail, sex, etc.) then it usually doesn't take too big a nudge to get a desired action.
All of the new technologies that the FBI and other agencies are using now can be side-stepped. This is what worries the intelligence groups and gets them to ask for more powers and to try to limit technological means of defeating their surveillance. Again, it's only the stupid ones that are getting caught.
