    Politico reports that now both the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI have classified the group's violence as "domestic terror activity."

    The report cites confidential law enforcement documents. It claims law enforcement is concerned that Antifa is using incidents like the violent clashes in Berkeley with white supremacist groups to broaden its recruiting and fundraising efforts

    FBI, Homeland Security warn of more ‘antifa’ attacks

    Confidential documents call the anarchists that seek to counter white supremacists ‘domestic terrorists.’

    Federal authorities have been warning state and local officials since early 2016 that leftist extremists known as “antifa” had become increasingly confrontational and dangerous, so much so that the Department of Homeland Security formally classified their activities as “domestic terrorist violence,” according to interviews and confidential law enforcement documents obtained by POLITICO.

    Interesting to note that this assessment of antifa was made not under the Trump Administration but last year when Obama was president. But the Obama Administration kept it under wraps and it is only coming to light now.

      Documents Tie Berkeley Riot Organizers To Pro-Pedophilia Group, NAMBLA

      The left-wing activists behind the anti-conservative riots at Berkeley have ties to one of the nation’s most prominent pro-pedophilia organizations.

      The Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action, Integration & Immigrant Rights, and Fight for Equality By Any Means Necessary — more commonly referred to as By Any Means Necessary or BAMN — is one of the militant leftist groups waging a campaign against conservatives and Trump supporters in Berkeley. The group’s planned aggressive demonstrations against conservative commentator Ann Coulter and the students coming to hear her talk led to the cancellation of Coulter’s speech this week due to safety concerns.

      BAMN’s parent organization worked directly with the North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) in the years just before it founded BAMN, according to NAMBLA documents reviewed by The Daily Caller. In addition, a member of that parent organization said to have founded BAMN is an admitted member of NAMBLA, which she has described as the victim of a “witch-hunt.

        I'm not aware of mainstream liberals supporting antifa. They are in fact a threat to us, because they provide an excuse to claim that the left is as dangerous as the right. The data all disagree with that kind of false equivalence, but getting people to accept evidence isn't always easy.

            That's only because white people are inherently racist and deserve a good beating.

                    The sermon at my rather liberal PCUSA church today was about victimization. It rejected antifa, and people on both sides who like to see themselves as victims when they aren't. (Of course there is actual discrimination and bullying out there, so there are some real victims.)

                        For quite some time the major gay rights groups marched arm-and-arm with NAMBLA. That long-term support of NAMBLA didn't hurt them.

                          Which, truth be told, is exactly how many liberals would love to spin it but it appears the determination that antifa is a terrorist group was made when the Obamessiah was still POTUS.

                              The same can be said about mainstream conservatives and groups like the KKK. No matter how many times a conservative denounces them as scum reporters nevertheless continue to pepper them with demands to repudiate them (pretending that they haven't already done so repeatedly). OTOH, liberals are virtually never asked to repudiate groups like antifa or questioned about the communist party endorsing them.

                              It's almost like the MSM practices a double standard.

                                I don't suspect most conservatives of supporting the KKK.

                                By definition extremists are extreme, i.e. not representative of the mainstream.

                                I'm not worried that conservative Christians are part of the KKK. But I am concerned by the extreme right. There's pretty objective data distinguishing their danger from the extreme left, though if antifa grows that could change.

                                I'm particularly concerned that the extreme right may be pulling in some whites who in the past wouldn't have been extremists, but are starting to buy into the grievance culture. The grievance culture is a danger on the left as well. I see one member of my denomination on Facebook making bizarre statements (though not members of my congregation). But so far they don't seem to be in danger of being involved in anything violent. Also, remember that our models tend to be people like MLK, while the right tends to be into guns.
