Barack Obama’s Department of Homeland
Security labeled Antifa’s activities as
‘domestic terrorist violence’
SEPTEMBER 1, 2017
tags: Antifa, domestic terrorism, Politics, President Obama, President Trump
When Donald Trump condemned the violence on both sides in
the wake of the Charlo esville riot he came under intense fire
from the Democrats, the mainstream media, and some
Republicans for trying to put the blame on both sides while not
strongly enough denouncing white nationalists and the KKK.
This eventually led to all Trump supporters being labeled as
white supremacists and Nazis. All the while the violent actions
of Antifa have been ignored; Antifa was engaged in violent
activities before Charlo esville and it has continued since but it
came to a head last week when Antifa a acked a wheelchair bound veteran. This was so
egregious that even Nancy Pelosi, in an effort to distance the Democratic Party from the
violent hate group, actually came out and condemned them
(h ps://americaswatchtower.com/2017/08/30/nancy-pelosi-denounces-violent-antifa-
protesters/).
Now, according to this story (h p://www.politico.com/story/2017/09/01/antifa-
charlo esville-violence- i-242235), a new report is out which exonerates Donald Trump.
It turns out that back in April of 2016 Barack Obama’s Department of Homeland Security

6/3/2020 Barack Obama’s Department of Homeland Security labeled Antifa’s activities as ‘domestic terrorist violence’ | America's Watchtower
was so concerned about Antifa that the department warned that the group was engaged in
“domestic terrorist violence.”
From the left-leaning 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.
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 a acks 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.
Those reports appear to bolster Trump’s insistence that extremists on the left bore some blame
for the clashes in Charlo esville and represent a “problem” nationally.
Of course this is from Politico so naturally the website had to put some of the blame for
Antifa’s violence on Donald Trump even though the violence began before anyone thought
he even had a slight chance at becoming President. I would argue Antifa’s violence has
increased because they have what they consider to be a political enemy in the White
House. It is not as if Antifa needed an excuse to become even more violent but now they
have one and the media’s refusal to cover Antifa is partly to blame for this.

The blame should sit squarely on both the Obamunist’s socialist and Trump’s
seemingly dysfunctional, amateurish and impotent FBI, DHS and DOJ for Antifa’s ever
increasing and in your face terrorist tactics. C’est domage!

The violence began while Obama was in office and nothing was done about it and
now it has increased and still nothing is being done about it. And it doesn’t help
that the media is ignoring the violence from the left.

I couldn’t agree more. Too much of the swamp resides in these departments. The
fact that Pelosi is starting to change her tune about this group was probably because
she got a heads up that this was going to come out.

You are probably right about that. If this was not about to come out she probably
would have stayed silent.

years from now, we’ll find out antifa was infiltrated and being controlled by the FBI this
whole time.
they’ve done it before…the black panthers, the neo-nazis, the klan…all controlled by
the FBI .

left hand, right hand..same puppeteer, same playbook, same script.
1)infiltrate 2)radicalize 3)neutralize and/or weaponize.
over and over…they’ve used this particular strategy since the 1950’s at least. in a
way you can’t blame them..it works, so why change? the problem comes when
they run these ops too close together. there are enough militia guys still around
and active from the 1990’s that saw this going on then with enough clarity to
recognize it when they see it again.
my group, the 1st granite state irregulars (we’re still listed on the SPLC website
last I checked) was being infiltrated and I shut it down HARD. any member that
was with us less than 3 years was summarily removed. some of them were good
people.some of them were FBI who were, behind my back, teaching sabotage
and explosive skills to other members..something we forbid from the founding
of the group. besides being “bad optics” it’s not anything a community defense
organization would need to know how to do.
my guess is this is the sort of things being taught to antifa right now. and they
don’t have the moral compass to understand exactly what it means to be doing
those sorts of things.

Isn’t this nice:
“Public school teachers are behind a leading far-left militant group that is part of the
Antifa network that federal officials say is commi ing “domestic terrorist violence.”
Isn’t this biting the hand that feeds you?

No CJ the hand that feeds them isn’t the poor taxpayer who produces the money.
Then hand that feeds them is the leftist politicians who give away taxpayer money
to leftest teacher unions in exchange for keeping the leftists in power.
