© Atlanta PDPolice in Atlanta arrested 23 Antifa members as domestic terrorists for attacking a police facility.
In June 2020, the Southern Poverty Law Center posted
an article entitled, "Designating Antifa as domestic terrorist organization is dangerous, threatens civil liberties."
The organization that supposedly tracks extremism in America dismissed the idea that Antifa was a threat to anyone.
The "anti-fascists" are "broad, community-based" and "represent a large spectrum of the political left." "Individuals loosely affiliated with Antifa are typically involved in skirmishes and property crimes at demonstrations across the country," the article hand waves.
"But the threat of lethal violence pales in comparison to that posed by far-right extremists."
Will the SPLC change its tune now that 23 members of Antifa were
arrested as domestic terrorists for violently attacking a police facility outside Atlanta?
Or note the fact that one of SPLC's own lawyers, Thomas Webb Jurgens, 28, is among the arrested?
Fat chance. Founded in 1971, the SPLC was once a respected organization, cited by the media for its work, particularly against the Ku Klux Klan.
But it has lost its moral standing by repeatedly refusing to call out political violence on the left.
The SPLC sees a Proud Boy under every bed, but acts like Antifa months-long attacks on a courthouse in Portland are justified.
You're not a "hate group" if you hate cops!
They even target journalists that cover Antifa, slandering
Post contributor Andy Ngo as a "provocateur" because he accurately reports on their activities.
In the Georgia incident, Antifa targeted "Cop City," a training facility under construction outside Atlanta.
The black-masked group of professional anarchists threw rocks and Molotov cocktails, setting fire to construction equipment — an attack that followed months of
confrontations with authorities.
Yet the SPLC, the liberal media and yes, even Attorney General Merrick Garland pretend like Antifa doesn't exist.

After all, Garland is too busy targeting school board parents.
Shockingly, the feds and press continue to treat SPLC as a neutral arbiter when it's anything but.
The FBI even listened when SPLC
claimed some Catholic groups were "extremist" because they used a Latin Mass!
This whole farce undermines the credibility of law enforcement and watchdog groups like the SPLC.
Americans see the burning cop cars and Antifa soldiers on their television and wonder what the consequences are.
This is extremist political violence, pure and simple.
Treat it as such.
To add that it is sponsored by Deep State internally using connections & tactics of tension & violence no different than pre-Nazi Germany’s Antifaschistische Aktion (Red Shirts) were the same. Nazi playbook 2.0 as twistory repeats itself.
The late 1920s and early 1930s saw rising tensions mainly between three broad groups, the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) on one side, the Nazi Party a second, and a coalition of governing parties, mainly social democrats and liberals, making up a third side. Berlin in particular was the site of regular and often very violent clashes.
Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action.
