If An Agent Knocks is a guidebook written by the Center for Constitutional Rights. Although they’re a left-leaning advocacy group, they’re not the sort likely to make you run away screaming as if Cthulhu is trying to eat your mind. Actually, some of their causes may be of interest.

Last week, doddering President-Elect Joe Biden nominated a black female lawyer named Kirsten Clarke to head the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division.

He was discussing internal threats, that is to say people who are somehow in the service of the US government who betray secrets or go on to engage in terrorism or other acts of treason. Obviously, a great many are not white, and this is not a surprise to anyone on the Alt Right. (more…)
