Klippenstein: Insane Pre-Crime Strategy Unveiled for Leftist "Extremists"

https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/insane-pre-crime-strategy-unveiled

The White House declared war on the American people today, labeling its political opponents as terrorists, including “Left-wing extremists.” The new label also claims that there are “deepening alliances” between “the far-left and Islamists” — or pro-Palestinian protesters.

The language is contained in the White House’s newly released National Counterterrorism Strategy. It is the first National Strategy to be unveiled since 2021, when the Biden administration issued its document. The Strategy identifies the “left-wing,” “anti-Fascists,” “Anarchists” and “radically pro-transgender” ideologies as threats equivalent to jihadi groups like al Qaeda and ISIS, or narco-traffickers.

The Strategy is the brainchild of White House counterterrorism czar Sebastian Gorka, an eccentric figure I have reported on, who last year hinted at terrorism charges being levied for political opponents of the administration. The document makes clear he got his wish. Gorka called the Strategy “my life’s work,” and apparently waxed so poetic in previous drafts that his superiors told him (by his own account): “Cut it down, Gorka!”

“Currently we face three major types of terror groups,” the Strategy says, listing “Narcoterrorists and Transnational Gangs,” “Legacy Islamist Terrorists,” and “Violent Left-Wing Extremists, including Anarchists and Anti-Fascists.”

terrorists.

There's only one reason to call anti-fascists the enemy - it's because you're a fascist.

Radically pro-transgender means? Caring about people, no matter who they are?

Gorka's life's work is advancing racism.

What they're going to do about it is TBD.

The John Zeran Anarchist/Black Bloc crusties have nowhere near the organization or membership of Fascist Paramilitary groups like Patriot Prayer, Proud Boys, etc. They turn up every couple years and smash some windows, big whoop.

"Antifa" Mutual Aid collectives are busy keeping homeless people alive - not fomenting Terrorism. It's the work CHRISTIANS should be about.

What those idiots in Texas thought they were doing is beyond me.
