When senior Western officials met in Ottawa last month to discuss potential terrorism threats in light of the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran, a top State Department counterterrorism official delivered an unexpected message.
The United States was as concerned as always about Islamist terrorism, said the official, Monica A. Jacobsen, according to a copy of her prepared remarks reviewed by The New York Times and three officials briefed on the meeting. But, she told her counterparts from Europe, Canada and Australia, the Trump administration also wanted more attention on what it believed was an insidious, underestimated threat: the far left.
. . .
In September, days after signing his executive order on antifa, Mr. Trump issued a national security memo that called on the government to counter violence fueled by ideological beliefs, including anticapitalism, anti-Christianity and hostility toward “American views on family, religion and morality.”
Ohhh, of course terrorism™ as defined by the State is tailored to only mean those that oppose the commercialism, oppression, and actual terrorism that said State approves as on-brand, “patriotic”. Yay, go Team Democracy©! 😅🤮
The silver lining is, we know they’re terrified.
If “they” could spontaneously and en masse just hurry up and die of fright, I’d not even pause in sipping my Kermit tea. 🤷🏽♂️
