Antifa: US security agencies label group ‘domestic terrorists’
Monday 4 September 2017 00:00
FTA: US security officials have classified the left-wing group Antifa as “domestic terrorists”, confidential documents have revealed.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has reportedly been warning about the growing threat of violence between left-wing anarchists and right-wing nationalists since 2016, amid claims Antifa’s activity has become more confrontational, according to documents seen by Politico.
A confidential intelligence report by the DHS and the FBI accused the “anarchist extremists” of attacks on police, government and political institutions, along with any other symbols of the “capitalist system” or displays of racism, social injustice or fascism.
For all the legitimate complaints people have about former New Jersey governor Chris Christie, one of the surprising things he did a few years ago was have Antifa listed as a domestic terrorist organization by the state’s law enforcement agencies.
