Report: FBI Labeled Antifa Domestic Terrorism Long Before Ryan, Rubio, Romney Declared ‘No Sides’
Breitbart ^ | 9/1/17 | Breibart News

Posted on 09/01/2017 7:48:32 AM PDT by Mr. Mojo

Politico reports that the Obama Administration “formally classified” Antifa’s activities as “domestic terrorist violence” as early as April 2016.

From Politico:

Federal authorities have been warning state and local officials since early 2016 that leftist extremists known as “antifa” had become increasingly confrontational and dangerous, so much so that the Department of Homeland Security formally classified their activities as “domestic terrorist violence,” according to interviews and confidential law enforcement documents obtained by POLITICO.

Wow, so antifa has been labeled a terror group since April by the FBI? That must explain the crushing law enforcement response to their riots and attacks. /s

NOW we find out? There’s a lot of people that better have some damned good answers as to why this was permitted to continue.

"Previously unreported documents disclose that by April 2016, authorities believed that “anarchist extremists” were the primary instigators of violence at public rallies against a range of targets. They were blamed by authorities for attacks on the police, government and political institutions, along with symbols of “the capitalist system,” racism, social injustice and fascism, according to a confidential 2016 joint intelligence assessment by DHS and the FBI."

People need to back off on antifa. It’s not like they are letting cattle graze, or stopping a rangefire in Oregon, or strategizing on how to defeat Hillary, or other serious crimes like that.

April last year.

Some press reports blame Trump - seriously.

FBI, Homeland Security warn of more "antifa" attacks - Josh Meyer

Federal authorities have been warning state and local officials since early 2016 that leftist extremists known as "antifa" had become increasingly confrontational and dangerous, so much so that the Department of Homeland Security formally classified their activities as "domestic terrorist violence," ...

Those reports ... also reflect the extent that [Trump's] own political movement has spurred the violent backlash.

The mayors of both Berkeley and Charlottesville should be brought up on charges for telling their respective police departments to stand down and allow a government declared terrorist organization to publicly assault people with impunity.

The pro Trump people who’ve been hurt have some ammunition to file lawsuits against cities, police and authorities. Plenty

Sue the bastards. And find out who funds antifa

Have two hundred reporters asked Bernie Sanders to condemn this group?

Pelosi - she gets away with ONE denial? Come on - President Trump had to condemn the KKK over a hundred times in the last 12 months.

Stick that mic in Pelosi’s face a few hundred more times... CNN - show us how you ‘treat everyone the same’...

1. We should use Antifa or ANTIFA. Msm is using lowercase letters to confuse. They want people to believe this is a ragtag group of college kids out protesting. They don’t want the public to know the history, ideology, and international organization.

2. Took true courage for Trump to withstand the media melt at his two press conferences for stating the fact many sides were present and violent.
He’s now been proven correct and places that were silent about Antifa (NYT, CNN etc.) run stories.

3. Trump now even has leftist politicians and media denouncing Antifa. An amazing development.

So the Democrats are aiding and abetting a terrorist organization.

When will charges be filed?

And that is exactly what I’m hoping the case becomes, and that the DOJ is investigating ANTIFA and eventually will go on a national sweep of these characters and arrest them.

If that does NOT happen, then it is up to “We The People” to organize a militia and DESTROY them.

Remember this?

http://www.adfmedia.org/files/ExtremismPresentation.pdf

Page 24 of a U.S. Army Reserve training presentation titled “Extremism and Extremist Organizations.”

Gor also sent us a picture of the slide, which in blue capital letters at the top, is titled “Religious Extremism.” Seventeen groups are listed underneath. Evangelical Christianity topped the list
