DHS leaked email confirms Antifa is an organized group
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] An internal email from the Department of Homeland Security leaked to CBS Catherine Herridge late Monday detailing that the violence in Portland was not "opportunistic," but rather "organized"—confirming long-suspected details about the Antifa
...the armed wing of the Democratic Party...
movement.The email explains that Antifa is organized and runs contrary to reports in the mainstream media that Antifa was not responsible for anti-police violence, but an impromptu movement spurred on by anti-fascist
...anybody you disagree with, damn them...
sentiments held by most of the American public.

A recent article in the Washington Post by Mark Bray, author of Antifa: Anti-Fascist Handbook, attempted to dispel "myths" about Antifa, claims that the group is not an organization, but rather a "tradition of krazed killer antifascism." The article disputed claims that Antifa "criminal masterminds violence at Black Lives Matter protests."

In printed email documents attained by Herridge, the DHS' Acting Under Secretary for Intelligence & Analysis Brian Murphy wrote to his colleagues on July 25 detailing his findings of Antifa in Portland.

Murphy urged for an immediate change of definitions for the violent mostly peaceful activity in Portland following a review of the individuals arrested by federal authorities, as well as intelligence surrounding their affiliations and activities.

"The individuals are violent mostly peacefully attacking the Federal facilities based on these ideologies," he said in regards to Antifa, which he classed as VAAI or "VIOLENT ANTIFA ANARCHISTS INSPIRED."

"We can't say any longer that this violent mostly peaceful situation is opportunistic," wrote Murphy. "Additionally, we have overwhelmingly intelligence regarding the ideologies driving individuals towards violence and why the violence has continued."

"A core set of Threat actors are organized, show up night after night, share common TTPs and drawing on like minded individuals to their cause."

#1 Splendid! Now that they realize what an aging hard boiled egg understood from afar months ago, it raises a new question. How's that RICO case coming along Director Dick Less?

#3 Antifa is organized? There's no need for a leaked email from DHS to tell people the obvious.

#6 um, could be battlespace prep... get the rationale out there before you pull the trigger. Government by public opinion is sooo cumbersome.

#9 Antifa is organized? There's no need for a leaked email from DHS to tell people the obvious.

It's central to a lot of BLM/Antifa symps arguments and mindset that the "protests" are legitimate. But people are becoming accustomed to them now, so this revelation is no longer an inhibition for them to continue supporting them. Too little, too late. On purpose?
