  3. It does NOT, as did the 2018 counterterrorism strategy issued in Trump’s first term, mention #nationalist #NeoNazi groups with “anti-Western views” that have attacked #Muslims & #LeftWing groups.

    “We have to be objective about identifying threats, not politically selective,” Hoffman said.
    
“If I were to rack & stack priorities, left-wing terrorists wouldn’t be in my top three,” Clarke said.

  4. The strategy directs the use of all tools “constitutionally available to us to map them at home, identify their membership, map their ties to international organizations like Antifa, & use law enforcement tools to cripple them operationally before they can maim or kill the innocent.”

  5. The #Trump admin’s rhetoric is consistent with the language of their counterterrorism strategy, which calls for the “rapid identification & neutralization of violent secular political groups whose ideology is anti-American, radically pro-transgender, & anarchist.”

  6. European governments have largely declined to label #Antifa as a #terrorism organization, despite pressure from #FarRight parties. In the Netherlands, the center-right government rejected a parliamentary motion to designate antifa, with the country’s justice minister telling parliament in May that it did not meet the legal threshold because there was no evidence it was an organization rather than an amorphous movement.

  7. Authorities in #Germany also did not see a significant threat. “The security authorities’ assessment is that the potential threat posed by the group has recently decreased significantly,” an Interior Ministry spokesperson told reporters in November, noting that #AntifaOst leaders & particularly violent members were either in custody or already convicted.

  8. The designations of the 4 groups were met with skepticism among experts.

    
“They’re very peculiar,” said Blazakis, who is now a professor at Middlebury Institute & teaches about violent #extremism. “Those groups have carried out acts of vandalism. They’ve harmed individuals. But they don’t have a casualty to their name.”

  9. In November, the #State Dept announced the designations of 4 #European groups as foreign #terrorist organizations, including a militant group in Germany that calls itself #AntifaOst . 2 more were in Greece & 1 in Italy.

    Designation, which is done by the secy of state, is based on criteria that include the assessment that the group poses a direct threat to #US #NationalSecurity interests.

  10. Undeterred, the #State Dept in mid-June sent a cable to >20 US embassies — from Argentina & Mexico to Italy & Albania — seeking information on far-left extremist groups, acc/to two people familiar with the matter. Several have responded, but none has indicated they concur with the #Trump admin’s assessment of the threat, one person said.

  11. That was followed in early June by a gathering at the US Institute of Peace to try to convince #State Dept personnel that “far-left political terrorists” were a growing threat to the country, but that event apparently was also a “dud,” acc/to Puck News. About an hour into the event, organizers sent out an email blast telling people they could still join, if they wanted, Puck reported.
