Trump's Texas Speech Calling For Race War--- What A Serious Counter-Terrorism Investigation Should Be Focused On

For security experts who have had training in counterrorism or defending against insurgencies, there are certain specific areas whiich are likely (or hopefully) being investigated in the aftermath  of Trump's dogwhistle call for race war in his Texas speech, which targeted three cities. New York,  Washington DC, and Atlanta. 

Atlanta, I believe is the most serious actual target, since the Federal law enforcement and National Guard capability of DC and NY should be a sufficient deterrent to an actual armed attack en masse along the lines of January 6th. Atlanta however is more isolated (meaning a historically African American Democratic stronghold City located in the surrounding Trump Red State of the neo-Confederate GOP) with a long history of racist violence, including relatively recent racist mob attacks on African American peaceful marches and activity, (See Forsythe Georgia) and a state which elected the vile racist Marjorie Taylor Greene, one of Trump's closest acolytes. It also shares a border with the January 6th insurrectionist training camp, the DeSantis/Matt Gaetz State of Florida, which produced a large number of Capitol rioters. 

Also it should be remembered that today's heavily armed Confederate and Nazi terrorist militias are enormously symbolic in their decisions to unleash violence, as you saw in Charlottesville, which was built as an action to defend the Confederate monument there.  They seize upon historic dates and locations to launch their actions,  (ex. McVeigh bombed the Oklahoma Federal Building on April 19, anniversary of Waco) and Trump's Texas speech was delivered on January 30th, anniversary of Hitler's ascension to Chancellor of Germany. (An important point made by columnist Will Bunch which Professor HCR referenced yesterday) Do not think these things are coincidence,, they are a pattern.. (remember that the Alt right CPAC conference last year built a stage for Trump which was an SS Rune symbol?) 

Atlanta is the home of the MLK Church, and family legacy, in many ways the birth center of the US Civil Rights movement and home base of the old SCLC.  It is the current home base for Governor candidate Stacey Abrams, the leader of the US voting rights movement, also centered in Atlanta.  Trump would see them as a preferrable target, given his own violently racist identity.

In understanding the terror threat which presents itself in the form of Trump's speech, in effect, he is acting like a terrorist hijacker who takes hostages, threatening to throw a body out the door every 15 minutes until he gets money and a helicopter. His rage is not just about him, but that his family is facing indictment and he's about to lose his daddy's family business.

Nevertheless, Trump may believe he has legal protection or cover in DC or New York, but he doesn't have much at all in Atlanta, therefore is most vulnerable there. So I believe that security experts and FBI agents who are being brought in to protect the principals of the Georgia prosecution should also be paying very close attention to MLK's former church, Ebeneezer Baptist Church, of which Senator Warnock has been Pastor,  the King family themselves, candidate Abrams and her volunteers, and all other political and religious targets symbolic of the Civil Rights movement, emphatically including but not limited to Georgia.  

This was the second Trump call for race war, after last week's Arizona speech where he accused Democrats of white genocide by giving preferential access to Blacks for the covid vaccine. The point being, when someone like Trump tells you who they are, and what they plan to do, just like Adolf Hitler in his Munich Putsch trial, it is best to listen to them and plan accordingly.
