#Antifa is terrorism because rightwing violence is coddled and encouraged in America (Updated)

“It's a thing called Article 2. Nobody ever mentions Article 2. It gives me all of these rights at a level that nobody has ever seen before.” - Dick Tater Trump

Conservative beliefs taken to their logical conclusion leads inexorably to Fascism. So, it's no wonder Trump and Senator Ted Cruz have called upon the FBI and Director Wray to declare #ANTIFA a terrorist organization.

Now, I will mention conservatives pretend to be against Big Government especially big Federal Government but, that's a lie. Don't expect calls of hypocrisy to alter conservatives minds' because they are shameless. Conservatives love big government when said government is devoted to the Reactionary destruction of minorities, liberals, feminists, LGBTQ, workers rights, clean air and water, and anything which interferes with returning the United States to a Neo-Feudal Wage Slave State where Americans are trapped forever in Corporate Bondage. 

If you were to ask a rightwinger for the goals and ideology of #Antifa or for a breakdown of funding and money flow, they will emphatically declare #Antifa are the Real Fascists and they are funded by George Soros (and/or the DNC). But, ask for recruitment techniques and methods or for an actual manifesto and the responses will get a little more generic. Then ask them for a detailed command & control table or an organizational Line & Block chart with actual names and you'll see the blank stare of those who have willingly swallowed rightwing propaganda and don't think for themselves or know anything.

#Antifa is a convenient bogeyman for the Right. It allows Republicans to grandstand and produce those unctuous floor speeches, Ted Cruz is known for. But, it's also a useful tool for the upcoming 2020 Elections.

Trump and the Republican can bemoan and wail, 'We tried to get those dastardly #Antifa declared terrorists but, those Obama DC bureaucrats and Witch Hunt FBI agents are too busy investigating innocent Trump! That's why you need to re-elect Trump and as many Republicans to office so we can drain the swamp, repeal Roe v. Wade, arrest George Soros, undo Obamacare, outlaw #Antifa, etc, etc, etc.'

The other more sinister reason for this is once the Republicans can declare #Antifa terrorists, well then they have to power to arrest anyone who speaks out against their agenda of hatred, intolerance and oppression. Did you protest the selling of National Parks for drilling and despoliation? You are #Antifa. Off to GITMO. Did you join Moms demand Action on Gun Control? Well, that's #Antifa. Extraordinary Rendition to a black site in the Seychelles. Are you a journalist Trump doesn't like? You are #Antifa adjacent, prepare to be slaughtered.

Update:
Perhaps, I should point out that Rightwingers have been busy on-line creating the justification needed to murder anyone they deem associated with #Antifa and conservatives have no problem openly discussing their plans to break into peoples homes and murder those on their lists of #Antifa.

The Murder of 4 Marines and a Sailor in Chattanooga isn't Terrorism

Sometime in the last year a Kuwait born man decided to kill Americans. Two days ago he succeeded in killing 4 Marines and a Sailor, while seriously injuring another Marine.

The 24 year old murderer, thankfully killed by Police, was born in Kuwait during President H. W. Bush Operation Desert Shield/Storm time frame before moving to the States and ostensibly becoming an American.

The spectre of Iraq hangs over these killings. Kuwait isn't a real country. It was carved out of the area post World War I by the British to be a port for British Petroleum. The Arabic 1920 uprising against the British and they rule prior to World War II and subsequent decades-long American entanglement in the Region can all be traced back the Black Curse of Petroleum.

After Ronnie Raygun buddied up with Saddam Hussein he set the stage for the whole farcical last 25 years of American Foreign Policy on Iraq; A tragedy of Republican buffoons, Democratic wimps, and right-wing ghouls turning the United States into a Worldwide Nincompoop, while utterly destabilizing the region, empowering Iran, making America less safe and getting Americans killed. All the while stealing $5 Trillion from the American People and destroying thousands of American and Iraqi lives, families, and futures.

Now, more lives and families have been destroyed. And the weapon of choice? The Gun, the bloody High-Powered Rifle, which is the True Symbol of These United States.

Welcome to the NRA and The Republicans' Perfect America; A Bloody Wasteland of Bullet-Riddled Bodies. No one is safe in the United States anymore. Not Kindergarten Children. Not United States Marines. America has been consumed by the Gun Cultists. While the foul shade of Saddam Hussein our beloved Ally/Enemy laughs from beyond the grave.
