The 15-page document was filed May 30, 2019 from the bureau's Phoenix office. It describes "conspiracy theory-driven domestic extremists" as a growing threat and notes that it is the first such report to do so.

"The FBI assesses these conspiracy theories very likely will emerge, spread, and evolve in the modern information marketplace, occasionally driving both groups (QAnon and Pizzagate) and individual extremists to carry out criminal or violent acts."

The report focuses primarily on ideeological motivations. Last week, FBI Director Wray asserted that the FBI is concerned only with violence, not people's beliefs, stating The FBI doesn't "investigate ideology, no matter how repugnant. We investigate violence, we are all over it."

Michael German, a former FBI agent and now a fellow with the Brennan Center for Justice's Liberty & National Security program doesn't think so. He stated: "It's part of the radicalization theory the FBI has promoted despite empirical studies that show it's bogus. German claims this new category is a continuing part of FBI overreach, stating, "They like the radicalization theory because it justifies mass surveillance. If we know everyone who will do harm is coming from this particular community, mass surveillance is important."

Funny you should post about this.

Discovered several accounts on Twitter pushing this and tying it in with the Russians helping Trump?!!!! They're using this very strange meme that explains their new terminology for the wizardry Trump conjures up ala Harry Potter style:

🔥🔥🔥 The FBI intelligence bulletin from the Phoenix field office, dated May 30, 2019, describes “conspiracy theory-driven domestic extremists” like Qanon and the Pizzagate conspiracy that were supported by MAGA extremists like General Flynn, Cernovich, Posobiec, Trump Jr... etc

Why did Kim Jong-il claim he wrote 18,000 books? Why did Gaddafi surround himself with Amazonian bodyguards? Why does Turkmenistan's dictator rap or ride around on a bicycle shooting a handgun? Cults of personality. Learn more on Ep. 16 of @PowrCorrupts

They're even tying Trump's insistence on identifying biological parents to in vitro fertilization by linking to someone purportedly with ties to a Russian spy?

Pavlo Yunko, Nastya Rybka’s representative after she was jailed in Thailand, sent me Nastya’s book. See pg 169 for chapter on Deripaska and in vitro fertilization cc @PortlusGlam

No, I'm not taking screenshots for all of these, but if this is the new narrative, we need to get it out there!
