Antifa Classified as Domestic Terrorists by DHS (members training w/ISIS)

The Department of Homeland Security in 2016 formally classified the actions of the anarchist group Antifa as "domestic terrorist violence," Politico reported.

Federal authorities have been warning state and local officials of Antifa's increasingly dangerous tactics — including attacks on the police — since early 2016 but were widely ignored long before Charlottesville and while Barack Obama was still president, Politico reported.

Further, DHS and the FBI were worried that Antifa might resort to terrorist bombings at one or both of the political conventions last summer, Politico reported.

Though it reportedly exists without a leader or official chain of command, Antifa members are connected and operate much like terrorist cells do, and in April of 2016, a joint report by the FBI and DHS members spend weeks planning for violence at selected events, Politico reported.

And the escalation had been on the feds' radar long before the rest of the country — including the media — caught up.

"Both the racists and a segment of violent Antifa counter-protestors are amped for battle in an escalating arms race, where police departments are outmaneuvered, resulting in increasingly violent dangerous confrontations," former New York City police officer Brian Levin, who has been monitoring domestic militants for 31 years, told Politico. "It's an orchestrated dance. The rallies spill over into social media and then even more people show up at the next rally primed for violent confrontation."

Further, Politico reports that some of the Antifa terrorists traveled to Turkey to train with kindred organizations, including two fighting against ISIS.

Antifa training with ISIS.. I thought they were fighting the right wing, lefties?

 

 

After hearing for the last decade about all this right wing violence that is supposed to be materializing, its pretty interesting to see over 90% of the problem are from leftists.

 

And since this story half pertains to the initial declaration of Antifa as a terrorist group, back in 2016, it's certainly not a novelty to those working in law enforcement and intelligence.

It's all a right wing conspiracy to demonize the antifa angels. Didn't you know that?

Antifa violence leaves leftists to question whether movement hurts or helps

 

“That’s the big debate,” Pamela Oliver, a sociology professor at the University of Wisconsin who studies collective action and social movements, told Fox News. “Most people think that non-violence is the way to go and that violent, aggressive responses could backfire, that is play into the hands of white supremacists by using violence.”

IAMX you're struggling with reading comprehension again. Antifa, your report says went to Turkey to fight AGAINST ISIS.

 

It is also important that you posted "Both the racists and a SEGMENT of violent Antifa..." So not even all Antifa, but blanket 'racists' are gearing up for violence. Read carefully. Posts that counter your narrative are the direct result of failing to do so.

But for some reason those that swing Left of Center classify all Trump voters, Trump supporters, or conservatives as racist sexist Nazis.  I guess we are all deplorables.

Not sure I would have been holding my breath, but whatever floats your boat.
