"The Trump Regime’s Concentration Camps Aren’t Just for Immigrants

Those still in denial that the Trump47 regime is fascist – worse than merely 'authoritarian' or oligarchic – might want to look at the administration’s United States Counterterrorism Strategy (hereafter 'USCS'), issued four weeks ago. Written primarily by Sebastian Gorka, Trump’s Christian fascist and Hungarian-American 'senior director of counterterrorism,' the document makes clear the regime’s desire to exterminate domestic dissent through state terror.

'We Will Find and Kill You… Left Wing Extremists'

In this dark paper’s cover letter, Trump channels Orwell by promising 'Peace through Strength' and says this to 'terrorists of any kind': '[you] will not be allowed any safe harbor here at home' and if you hurt Americans, or are planning to hurt Americans, We Will Find You and We Will Kill You.'

Who are these 'terrorists of any kind'? Across the USCS, three top terrible culprits are identified and intermeshed with each other: the classic ('legacy') post-9/11 menace of Islamo- terrorism/jihadism, with no distinctions made between Sunni and Shia; Latin American 'narco-terrorism,' supposedly allied with jihad; and domestic 'left-wing extremism, the latter charged with a nefarious 'ideological' and 'civilization'-weakening war on 'traditional American values.'

NSPM-7: Targeting Thoughts Ideas 'Antithetical to Freedom and the American Way of Life'

The USCS targets a fearsome menace, tied in with global threats, and identified broadly with criticism of US society/culture: 'ideologies antithetical to freedom and the American way of life.' Gorka invokes a specter haunting 'our sacred homeland:' 'violent left-wing extremists who have adopted radical ideologies antithetical to the principles upon which our Republic was founded.'

It’s important to understand how broadly the fascists atop the US state frame the 'radical left' ideas they describe as a grave danger to Americans’ security. What are these 'radical ideologies antithetical to the principles upon which our Republic was founded'? We can refer here to Trump’s Gorkyan National Security Presidential Memo 7 (NSPM-7), issued last September 25th : 'anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity; support for the overthrow of the US government, extremism on migration, race, and gender; and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality.'[1]
NSPM-7 chillingly identified all these 'terrorist' *thought crimes* with the supposed menace of 'antifascism.

(. . .)

'Whether plotting against conservative Catholics attending traditional mass in Virginia, parents standing up for their children at schoolboard meetings, Members of Congress, or President Trump and his associates,' the USCS proclaims, 'this Administration will continue to prohibit the [U.S.] Intelligence Community from being used politically against innocent Americans. As real threats were ignored or underplayed, *Americans have witnessed the politically motivated killings of Christians and conservatives committed by violent left-wing extremists, including the assassination of Charlie Kirk by a radical who espoused extreme transgender ideologies*.

In addition to cartels and Islamist terror groups, our national Counterterrorism activities will also *prioritize the rapid identification and neutralization of violent secular political groups whose ideology is anti-American, radically pro-transgender, and anarchist. We will use all the tools constitutionally available to us to map them at home, identify their membership, map their ties to international organizations like Antifa, and use law enforcement tools to cripple them operationally before they can maim or kill the innocent*. We will do the same with the state sponsors of such groups and those governments undertaking lethal plots on U.S. soil or against Americans anywhere.'

That is a wild passage, advancing:

• The outrageous paranoid-style notion that the CIA and the broader US intelligence networks have been part of a left globalist assault on decent, God-fearing American 'conservatives' and Christians.

• The myth that the US is undergoing a leftist assassination wave.

• The false description of the fascist youth leader Charlie Kirk’s assassin as 'a left-wing extremist.'

•The false description of 'Antifa' as (a) an organization and (b) “an international organization” (!), thereby linking the supposed dire domestic left threat with global threats.

• The unsupported and dangerous claim that domestic US left groups are sponsored by foreign governments, designed to paint 'homeland' dissent and free speech as treason.

The UCSC preposterously claims that there is 'a new and deepening alliances between the far-left and Islamists, i.e., the ‘Red Green alliance.’ '

(. . .)

Contrary to its declared commitment to 'reality-based threat assessments,' moreover, the USCS ignores the basic empirical fact that most acts of political terrorism and violence on US soil are committed by the far-right, not the left[3]."

"US Law Enforcement Warns of ‘Anti-Tech Extremism’ as AI Hatred Grows

As Americans stew over the looming risk of job-stealing AI and data centers in their back yards, the feds are raising the alarm about a new category of threat, documents obtained by WIRED show.

IN THE WAKE of attacks on CEOs, a nationwide protest movement targeting data centers, and increasing concerns about AI job replacement, federal intelligence agencies and domestic law enforcement are circulating reports with a new domestic target in mind: anti-technology extremists.

Taken together, these Trump administration directives have commandeered the domestic surveillance apparatus to surveil and criminalize speech and assembly that challenges the ideology of the White House. A new focus on anti-technology extremism adds an unreported category to already public designations under a presidency that has heavily invested political and material capital in AI and data center proliferation."

"Gorka Fumes Against the Left in New Counterterrorism Strategy

The strategy names three groups as the main terrorist threats to the United States: drug cartels and gangs, 'Legacy Islamic Terrorists,' and left-wing radicals, including 'anarchists and anti-fascists.'

It’s the latest example of the Trump administration sweeping relatively anodyne left-wing political views into a broader definition of domestic terrorism. In National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7), the White House told federal law enforcement to prioritize those with views including 'anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity' in investigating domestic terrorism cases. That has been operationalized, TPM exclusively reported, via material support for terrorism cases brought against leftists accused of criminal wrongdoing in prosecutions nationwide.

The new counterterrorism strategy released Wednesday echoed NSPM-7’s terminology and broad folding of disfavored political views into potential threats."

"Seb Gorka Orders Europe to Harbo[u]r His Kind of Terrorists

The Trump White House released the counterterrorism strategy authored by far right extremist Seb Gorka the other day.

You’ll be unsurprised that Seb refuses to protect America from the far right terrorist threat, instead choosing to focus on the imaginary Antifa threat and to waste CT resources murderboating fisherman labeled as narcoterrorists.

Aside from sheer dangerousness, Seb’s exclusion of far right terrorists is especially curious given that DOJ just invoked the CIPA process (reflecting the existence of classified evidence, and by extension a foreign nexus) in the case of white supremacist Payton Gendron who, in 2022, murdered 11 people in Buffalo.)

The far right Hungarian-American Seb spews racist rants for four paragraphs, which rant he only interrupts with a claim that Europe has dispensed with 'traditional principles of freedom of speech.'
Then he lays out his demands and insinuations. The US has 'expertise,' says the guy who claims Antifa is a thing, even a transnational thing. But they’ll only share it (and actionable intelligence, including actionable intelligence about may or may not include Russian, as well as Iranian, sabotage) with those 'serious' partners who 'understand' that Antifa, but not the far right, is a threat."

“'Counterterrorism' Now Officially Means Targeting Trans People

The White House will prioritize the 'neutralization' of groups it considers 'anti-American, radically pro-transgender, and anarchist.'

On Wednesday, the White House released a new 'United States Counterterrorism Strategy,' the first such directive since a 2021 Biden-era memo emphasizing the need to combat white supremacist violence, which has now been scrubbed from the White House website.

Wednesday’s document, masterminded by White House 'counterterrorism czar' Sebastian Gorka, does not mention far-right violence at all. It identifies 'Violent Left-Wing Extremists, including Anarchists and Anti-Fascists' as a security threat of equal severity to 'Legacy Islamist Terrorists' and 'Narcoterrorists and Transnational Gangs.' The administration will now apparently 'prioritize the rapid identification and neutralization of violent secular political groups whose ideology is anti-American, radically pro-transgender, and anarchist.'

In a bizarre but familiar turn, the document also blames transgender people for the shooting of Charlie Kirk. 'Americans have witnessed the politically motivated killings of Christians and conservatives committed by violent left-wing extremists, including the assassination of Charlie Kirk by a radical who espoused extreme transgender ideologies.'

(. . .)

Counterterrorism itself is a politicized term that came into common use following the September 11 attacks and the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. It formed part of the language of the policing apparatus that targeted Muslim and Arab Americans and legitimized surveillance of those communities as 'terrorist threats.' That same language is now being applied to transgender people.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has called Kirk’s death a 'domestic 9/11.' The Heritage Foundation, too, has done its best to connect being transgender with the idea of terrorism, campaigning last year for the FBI to designate trans advocacy as violent extremism.

'We will…identify their membership, map their ties to international organizations like Antifa, and use law enforcement tools to cripple them operationally,' the document says."
