Wikileaks: Germany Called Antifa ‘Terrorist Organization’ In 1979
Department of Memes ^ | 08/16/2017

Posted on 08/17/2017 1:17:51 AM PDT by Fedora

While the mainstream media is still attempting to politically crucify President Trump after his brutal press conference in which he asked if the “Alt-Left” had “any semblance of guilt” for what happened in Charlottesville, citizen journalists on Reddit’s r/the_Donald have uncovered publicly available documents on Wikileaks that refer to Antifa as a “terrorist organization” acting in West Berlin.

From the Wikileaks cable:

“Status awaiting possible terrorist attacks by members of the German terrorist organization Antifa in West Berlin, allegedly to be directed against radio/TV stations and offices of newspaper agencies. Some of the Antifa members had arrived in West Berlin a few days before the weekend and had taken preparations in anticipation for these attacks.

During the weekend, the majority of the Antifa terrorists (total number maximum ten) had been under constant surveillance by LFV Berlin and West Berlin’s Political Police. The attack was believed to be directed, among others, against the AFN radio/TV station. Precautionary measures to protect radio/TV stations, offices of news agencies, and other public buildings believed to be high on the list of the terrorists had been taken during the weekend.”

It appears the key difference between the Antifa of the 1970s and the Antifa of 2017 is their relationship in the media. Decades ago they wanted to attack the media, and today the media shills for them constantly. However, while this information already devastates the mainstream media’s narrative about the Alt-Left and Antifa being figments of the Right’s imagination, other information released by Wikileaks reveals that Antifa has been protected by the media across the globe.

In one of Wikileaks’ leaked “Global Intelligence Files,” emails and documents belonging to the global intelligence agency Stratfor, we see another example, this time from 2014, of Antifa condoning and supporting terrorism – violence in the name of political ideologies – against the Right:

The German website antifa.de published an article entitled “Block the Nazi March!”, claiming that “for years, the right-wing government and the Catholic Church have promoted a racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic atmosphere in Poland.”

While the mainstream media pretends President Trump has totally lost it after he called out the Alt-Left Antifa thugs for what they are, basic Internet sleuthing shows that most of the West has known exactly what Antifa is for decades, and that nothing has changed in recent years.

You might want to ask who funded Antifa in West Berlin in 1979. It’ll lead to one of three picks....DDR, the Soviet KGB, or Soros. Maybe the German BND would be willing to share their knowledge of the funding.

Just the remnants of the Rote Front and the Baader-Meinhof gang.

Same people, same MO as their predecessors on the streets of Bremen and Hamburg in 1923.

Man... Donald has guts to even go there. But he’s right to.

He’s like a dad who is trying to get squabbling brothers to stop squabbling. Almost never was there a problem with how only one was approaching the situation. Almost never.

Some information might be in the Stasi's files, too: Overview - Ministry of State Security.

Yes, after the original Baader-Meinhof Gang was disrupted, a second generation divided into two tiers: a hard core and Antifa, which carried out logistics, intelligence, and propaganda functions for the hard core. The Antifa continued growing publicly while the hard core hid underground. The original BMG has re-emerged recently: Return of Germany's Baader-Meinhof terrorist gang - they’re desperate for cash and have a dog.

Red Army Faction

"The Red Army Faction was formed with the intention of complementing the plethora of revolutionary and radical groups across West Germany and Europe, as a more class conscious and determined force compared with some of its contemporaries. The members and supporters were already associated with the 'Revolutionary Cells' and 2 June Movement as well as radical currents and phenomena such as the Socialist Patients' Collective, Kommune 1 and the Situationists.

Baader was arrested again in April 1970, but on 14 May 1970 he was freed by Meinhof and others. Less than a month later, Gudrun Ensslin would write an article in a West Berlin underground paper by the name of Agit883 (Magazine for Agitation and Social Practice), demanding for a call to arms and a building of the Red Army. The article ended with the words, "Develop the class struggles. Organize the proletariat. Start the armed resistance!" Baader, Ensslin, Mahler, and Meinhof then went to Jordan, where they trained with Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) guerrillasand looked to the Palestinian cause for inspiration and guidance. But RAF organisation and outlook were also partly modeled on the Uruguayan Tupamaros movement, which had developed as an urban resistance movement, effectively inverting Che Guevara's Mao-like concept of a peasant or rural-based guerrilla war and instead situating the struggle in the metropole or cities."

This ‘return’ of the three BMG players, in my humble opinion, is mostly due to a lack of support from their original benefactor and reality setting in thirty years later that there is pension...no retirement.

They’ve been careful about these robbery attempts (mostly all grocery store operations) and these are well planned out (based on German news coverage). I don’t think any have occurred since the beginning of 2017. If I were taking a guess....over this period of robberies, they’ve probably taken in the sum of 400,000 Euro over the past decade.

There’s a fair amount of debate over where they reside...some don’t believe the story that they still live in Germany, and that they utilize an RV as part of their planning.

I never thought the BMG could be funny but that’s funny right there, the botched robbery. Oops

I was thinking about ‘going big’ like ripping down a statue of FDR... I think the commies in antifa and their jouno-supporters might get the point if one of their icons gets the treatment.

I don’t know what goes on in other states, but AntiFa is listed as a “domestic terrorist organization” by the New Jersey Dept. of Homeland Security.

Almost 40 years later and Deutschlanders refuse to recognize terrorism even if has mass migrated and rapes their women while also performing other blatant acts of criminality...

I see parallels here.
