Good news for you. ANTIFA *is* an international politically violent organization. I think they have begun with EU ANTIFA groups and the State Department is already working on deporting rays of them, derivatives groups. Also, they won't be banned, but once anyone catches winds of violent conspiracy they can get enforcement out - as you said- on the RICO crimes; which are cult conspiracy crimes.
I have recently considered using quad copter drones to document ANTIFA with a volunteer team of documentary A/V + engineering streams.
But it will set in motion Federal Law enforcement priorities and resources. ANTIFA will be more closely monitored, more intelligence will be collected, and a multi-agency task force will be established.
Yes and I personally believe the international nature of anarcist action will indicate international funding. It's my opinion that many NGOs which funded censorship efforts in the US will also be linked to groups like Antiifa/Occupy/BLM. I think these people overlap in terms of activity like protests and occupations
The FBI labled them extremists in their internal documents, from my understanding. But it wasn't a criminal label, just how they thought their agents should understand the group. It was Trudeau's government in Canada that designated Proud Boys as a terrorist organization.
I stand corrected. I knew Trudeau did but do they even operate in Canada? I just assumed the FBI followed his lead since everyone knows Trudeau is a font of cosmic wisdom
I sat at a table with Trudeau 6 years ago at a major energy industry event. I can say he has more innate charisma-magnetism than perhaps anyone I've ever met, and I've met Presidents. So he is in fact "a font of cosmic .." and I'll let everyone add their own ending.
Your presentation is riveting and the information you imparted is of the utmost importance! Thank you for risking so much to speak openly about terrorists operating domestically. I learned a great deal and received answers to questions I have had about what the impact would be if antifa were to be designated a terrorist organization.
I wonder about an additional strategy for containing leftist terrorists groups, which is for Democrats to stop enabling these organizations to carry out antisocial acts against citizens and law enforcement officers. When the people who are elected to govern cities actively voice their alignment with antifa and refuse to declare a riot or allow police to employ riot control strategies then why wouldn't terrorists and criminals of other kinds take advantage of the situation? In making this comment about the amount of influence Democrats could exert in a more constructive way, I am by no means saying I expect they will change their approach to the disintegration of our cities.
Thanks, Andy. Not what we were expecting or looking forward to, but useful. I was not under the impression that Trump was banning Antifa, but giving law enforcement the ability to investigate them and start enforcing the laws.
I am a new subscriber, and frankly, Andy, I owe you an apology. I don’t know why I haven’t been paid subscriber all this time so I apologize for that. Rectified this morning. A question what about foreigners funding domestic groups to commit terrorism. Is there an angle where terrorism charges could be leveled against foreigners like George Soros , or his son?
I routinely set up signs in Missoula, MT on our busiest street. They are political and societal, definitely conservative. I set up a memorial to Charlie Kirk and Saturday morning while I was sitting by the sign an ANTIFA member visited me. ANTIFA has been in our city since 2016. He spent 10 minutes actually interviewing me & now knows what car I drive. Can you tell me what this may mean to me personally? Am I on their radar? Should I be concerned? It will not change my actions, but I’m curious about your perspective.
Well Andy that is quite interesting and might be a smoking gun, because the YPG is a designated US military ally in Syria. Many military operations with them against ISIS
Recall the prosecution by NY State of Eric Trump over donations made by a charitable foundation, for funding political activities. Soros has multiple "charitable" foundations that are funding political activities. Obviously NY State won't pursue these, so there needs to be a mechanism for Federal jurisdiction. Hence this act by Trump may be in this light.
Great information Andy! I did have my understanding updated. I also decided to subscribe and sent you some monetary support, which is unusual for me. I did this because it is always important to me to read or listen to your posts or videos. So I decided the information you provide deserves my support monetarily.
Andy I hope they will have Congressional hearings and ask you to testify
Designating a group a major terrorist group opens up the type of law enforcement methods that can be used to investigate.
Only international terrorist groups, and that designation would fall under the State Department and Congress.

Say more, please.

Definitely agree. There are many (most?) NGOs that have been operating as quasi-charities and getting away with illegal activities for a long time.
The FBI labeled the proud boy’s a terrorist organization & all they ever did was serve as bodyguards to conservative speakers

Andy, Thank you so much for explaining the situation.
Sorry to keep adding comments as I listen but PKK is apparently designated terror org
It is. But not the YPG, which is a similar far-left Kurdish nationalist militant group that many American Antifa trained with in Syria.
Well Andy that is quite interesting and might be a smoking gun, because the YPG is a designated US military ally in Syria. Many military operations with them against ISIS
PS reading up about this, it seems like they fancied themselves as international brigades as in the Spanish Civil War

Maybe you didn't get justice in Oregon, but this must give you a wonderful sense of justice!
Why the hell didn't I see this in my threads?
Can this help with more charges against the Antifa group that are in jail in Johnson co? Can they charge more and get stiffer sentences if convicted?
