This is not my surprised face.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Previously unreported documents disclose that by April 2016, authorities believed that \u201canarchist extremists\u201d were the primary instigators of violence at public rallies against a range of targets. They were blamed by authorities for attacks on the police, government and political institutions, along with symbols of \u201cthe capitalist system,\u201d racism, social injustice and fascism, according to a confidential 2016 joint intelligence assessment by DHS and the FBI.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Of course, this lends credence to Trump supporters who have charged the Leftists with violent episodes from two murders in Seattle to a bike lock in a sock in Berkeley. It goes back to the violence that they visited upon each other during the Occupy Wall Street episode a few years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Politico can&#8217;t help but blame Trump, because they&#8217;re part of the media;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In interviews, law enforcement authorities made clear that Trump\u2019s inflammatory rhetoric and policies \u2014 first as a candidate and then as president \u2014 helped to create a situation that has escalated so quickly and extensively that they do not have a handle on it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was in that period [as the Trump campaign emerged] that we really became aware of them,\u201d said one senior law enforcement official tracking domestic extremists in a state that has become a front line in clashes between the groups. \u201cThese antifa guys were showing up with weapons, shields and bike helmets and just beating the shit out of people. \u2026 They\u2019re using Molotov cocktails, they\u2019re starting fires, they\u2019re throwing bombs and smashing windows.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, Trump wasn&#8217;t around while the OWS people were raping and killing each other, crapping in the streets and making a general nuisance of themselves. If anything, OWS created the Trump campaign in reaction to their general childishness.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Dozens of armed anti-fascist groups have emerged, including Redneck Revolt and the Red Guards, according to the reports and interviews. One report from New Jersey authorities said self-described antifa groups have been established in cities including New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and San Francisco. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, well, when the folks on one side of the political spectrum start using terms like &#8220;fascists&#8221; and &#8220;rednecks&#8221; to identify their opponents, they&#8217;re looking to instigate a physical confrontation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Politico reports that the loose collection of Left-wing extremists known as Anti-fascists has been named a &hellip; <a title=\"Anti-fa; the domestic terrorists\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=74443\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Anti-fa; the domestic terrorists<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[131],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-74443","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-i-hate-hippies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74443","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=74443"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74443\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=74443"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=74443"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=74443"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
