Portland Antifa groups have direct operational connections to Hamas and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps

Good news! Finally, more is done by law enforcement to disrupt and prevent significant leftist terrorism in Western countries. For far too long lenient law enforcement against violent leftists was the norm, while one sided focus was on rightist groups of all kinds!

The reporting about these allegations are a bit sketchy! Probably, the US government relied on intelligence service information/operations (possibly from Italy too) that can not be disclosed at this time.

What is surprising is the connection between violent radicals in Oregon and many other militant/violent groups in Europe with an extremist group in Italy. The extent of this militant/violent network is stunning!

"... triggering a broad terrorism designation action against the network and exposing what administration officials say is the clearest evidence yet that domestic radical extremism is not merely ideological — it is organizationally tied to America’s foreign enemies."

"... The A/I Collective builds and provides the digital infrastructure for violent Antifa cells and other radical left-wing networks in the United States and across the world.

Today, the United States is designating this extremist group as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist.

The Autistici/Inventati Collective is an Italy-based hacker cell that provides far-left extremists with encrypted communications, calls, and web-hosting services – all concealed from law enforcement.

The A/I Collective is a central node in the far-left's war on our civilization. ..."

"... "Far-left terrorism poses a profound threat to the United States and the broader West," Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "Today, the United States sanctioned Autistici/Inventati – a major far-left tech collective whose services are used by the most active and violent Antifa cells in the United States and across the world. ..." 

"... Autistici/Inventati (A/I Collective) is an Italy-based extremist group that builds and operates the digital infrastructure for violent Antifa cells and other far-left militants across the world. 

A/I’s cadre of radical hackers and tech developers provide a full spectrum of services – including encrypted chats and email, web hosting, secure video conferencing and streaming, anonymity shields, and a suite of other technological tools – to Marxist, anarchist, and other left-wing extremist groups in the United States, Europe, and elsewhere. These tools are specifically designed to support the operations of far-left terrorist networks, built to enable them to organize, recruit, communicate, disseminate propaganda, share target information and tactics, and carry out violent attacks – all while remaining anonymous, untraceable, and beyond the reach of the law.

The A/I Collective exclusively offers its tools and services to radical left-wing actors and manually vets all potential users for ideological affinity before granting them access to its infrastructure.

The group has become a key node in a transnational campaign by violent and criminal far-left networks to destabilize the United States and its partners across Europe, the Western Hemisphere, and beyond.

It currently claims to host roughly 16,000 mailboxes, 1,500 websites, 5,500 mailing lists, and 10,000 “blogs” on its custom-built platform, which militants frequently use to disseminate target information, tactical manuals and techniques, and communiqués about recent attacks. ...

disseminate maps of critical infrastructure, along with instructions for building improvised explosive and incendiary devices – all routed through a network of foreign servers intended to conceal criminal activity from law enforcement.

The anarchist cells responsible for sabotaging rail systems across France, Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands in 2026, relied on A/I Collective tools and services to claim responsibility for the attacks, publish official communiqués, and disseminate manuals for constructing improvised incendiary devices to target railways and other critical infrastructure.

The anarchist cell responsible for sabotaging the Transalpine Pipeline (TAL) in March 2026, which temporarily halted crude oil flows to Austria, Germany, and the Czech Republic, relied on A/I Collective tools and services to claim responsibility for the attack and publish official communiqués, as well as to disseminate a manifesto calling for additional attacks on critical infrastructure and referring adherents to another A/I Collective platform, which provides detailed sabotage manuals as well as maps of vulnerable critical infrastructure across North America.

The far-left extremist network responsible for multiple arson attacks and acts of sabotage against Germany’s rail and energy infrastructure between 2011 and 2026, including a January 2026 attack on Berlin’s power grid that cut power to 45,000 households and resulted in a fatality, relied on A/I Collective tools and services to claim responsibility for attacks, publish official communiques, and disseminate a manifesto calling for additional attacks on energy infrastructure worldwide.

A far-left extremist media group claiming to be a “tool” for global militants to share “essential information” to be “acted upon,” relies on A/I Collective tools and services to publish official communiqués and calls to action for U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organizations such as 

Armed Proletarian Justice, Informal Anarchist Federation and International Revolutionary Front (FAI/FRI), the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Hamas, Hizballah, National Liberation Army (ELN), New People’s Army (NPA), Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), and Revolutionary Class Self-Defense. This same group was recently cited in a federal criminal complaint against a domestic terrorist who was sentenced to 19 years in prison for targeting a federal building and police car with improvised explosive devices.

Oregon-based Rose City Antifa has relied on A/I Collective tools and services to organize and incite violent and criminal acts domestically, including an attack on Customs and Border Patrol helicopters that led to a federal indictment. Rose City Antifa also used A/I Collective tools and services to disseminate doxing lists and release illegally obtained personal information of Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement, along with calls for targeted attacks on ICE agents in the streets and “in their homes.”

The anarchist cell responsible for waging a violent campaign to prevent the construction of a law enforcement training center in Atlanta, Georgia, relied on A/I Collective tools and services to claim responsibility for violent attacks on law enforcement officers, disseminate doxing lists and illegally obtained private information, threaten government officials and business owners, and circulate instructions for making improvised explosive and incendiary devices to be used against government buildings and local businesses. The cell remains active and still uses A/I Collective tools and services to incite violent and criminal acts against government officials, law enforcement, and critical infrastructure.

The violent far-left extremists, “Jane’s Revenge,” who waged a firebombing campaign against crisis pregnancy centers across the United States, relied on A/I Collective tools and services to publish official communiqués and claims of responsibility for violent and criminal acts and to incite copycat attacks. Four members of the group were later charged for violating federal law and engaging in a “conspiracy against rights” through threats of force and intimidation."

Who’s Funding and training the Aggressive Anti-ICE Tactics Used by Activists Like the fatally shot female driver?

Good question! Time for President Trump to follow the money trail and drain it!

"... the activist [female driver] shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis last week after the vehicle she was operating made contact with the agent, appears to have been following aggressive tactics promoted by the leftist-funded organizing group Defend the 612. ...

“MN ICE Watch,” an Instagram page, shared screenshots from a “de-arrest” primer, which gives agitators advice on how to prevent law enforcement officers from taking someone into custody. ...

The resources page also recommends a tactic of “following ICE vehicles while honking and blowing on whistles when they are sighted,” aiming to create “traffic jams and slowdowns.” ...

some of the Left’s dark money nonprofits appear to have bankrolled a nonprofit that has organized a fundraiser for Defend the 612. ...

an agitator and claimed that new evidence shows her “STALKING and IMPEDING a law enforcement operation over the course of the morning” of her death. ...

“This footage corroborates what DHS has stated all along—that this individual was impeding law enforcement and weaponized her vehicle in an attempt to kill or cause bodily harm to federal law enforcement,” ...

De-Arrest Primer

The “de-arrest” primer’s aggressive tactics have gained attention online. ...

“A de-arrest, aka an unarrest, is the act of freeing someone who has been seized by Law Enforcement Officers [LEO],” the primer states. “A de-arrest can look like physically removing an arrestee from LEOs’ grips, opening the door of a car, or pressuring LEOs to release and arrestee.”

The primer recommends hugging an arrestee with a secure grip; “pulling and pushing an officer off of an arrestee”; opening a car door to let the arrestee go free; and pressuring law enforcement to release arrestees by “totally surrounding the officers who have the arrestee or otherwise blocking them and/or their vehicle.” ..."

Linke Gewalt, vom Staat gefördert: Eine neue RAF mit Staatsgeldern?

Sehr empfehlenswert! Typisches aus der Bananenrepublik D!

Hinweis: Ich habe nicht den ganzen, langen Artikel gelesen.

"... Nun ist es die Woke-Bewegung unserer Gegenwart, die die Antifa mit einem noch radikaleren, realitätsferneren Weltbild ausgestattet hat. Die Bezugnahme auf den Schutz von „Flinta“-Personen (Frauen, Lesben, inter, nicht-binäre, trans, agender), auf „queere Intersektionalität“ und „strukturellen Rassismus“ hat in linksextremen Gruppen die auf Hegel und Marx und ihrer „Dialektik“ fußenden Revolutionsmythologie mit einer zweiten postfaktischen, diesmal postmodern akzentuierten Weltanschauung verstärkt und abgesiegelt: Der Kommunismus soll nun nicht mehr nur der Befreiung des Arbeiters, sondern auch der Befreiung von Queeren und Kolonisierten dienen.

Dem Fanatismus mit terroristischem Potential läuft der radikalisierte Mainstream voraus. Auf Frauendemos kann man heute völlig unskandalisiert mit dem Schild „Kill all men“ mitlaufen; der Fernsehclown Jan Böhmermann rief im zwangsgebührenfinanzierten Rundfunk zum „Keulen“ von Nazis auf; der Komiker Hape Kerkeling fand in einem Interview vom 8. März 2024 auf die Frage „Warum würden Sie gegen die Rechten kämpfen?“ „defensive Gewalt“ für angemessen: „Weil das“, so Kerkeling, „der Feind ist, der im Moment am klarsten auszumachen ist.“ Eineinhalb Jahre später wird die Ermordung Charlie Kirks von Linken mit abgrundtiefem Zynismus kommentiert. Der Ex-WDR-Mitarbeiter Jean-Philippe Kindler postete: „Charlie Kirk kriegt den Hals nicht voll.“

Der Kern des Neo-Totalitarismus ist der aggressiv vorgehende Translobbyismus, der mit der Regenbogenfahne staatliche, mediale, kulturelle, wissenschaftliche Institutionen infiltriert hat. Einen Tag nach dem Mord an Charlie Kirk hetzten Transaktivisten gegen eine Konferenz zum Thema Geschlechtsdysphorie in Berlin – mit Abbildungen der Referenten im Stil von Fahndungsplakaten auf denen „Know your enemy“ zu lesen war. Einer der Slogans lautete „Transfeinden aufs Maul“. ..."

Linke Gewalt, vom Staat gefördert: Eine neue RAF mit Staatsgeldern? "Nicht erst der verheerende Anschlag auf die Berliner Energieversorgung verdeutlicht die Gefahr, die von Linksextremisten ausgeht. Doch teilweise finanziert der Staat selbst die Gewalt von links. Erster Teil einer Betrachtung zum Zusammenhang zwischen (nicht nur) linker Politik und linker Gewalt."

Ungeahndeter Linksterrorismus in der Bananenrepublik D! Noch mehr Staatsversagen!

Wieder mal typisches aus der Bananenrepublik D! Das Land der Kuscheljustiz! Unglaublich!

"Im Südwesten der deutschen Hauptstadt sind Hunderttausende Menschen seit nun mehr als zwei Tagen von der Stromversorgung abgeschnitten, nachdem linksextreme Terroristen am Sonntag in den frühen Morgenstunden mehrere Hochspannungskabel durch einen Brandanschlag zerstört haben. In den betroffenen wohlhabenden Stadtbezirken Berlins trifft dieser hinterhältige Sabotageakt vor allem die ärmeren Menschen. ...

es handelt sich hier ... um linksextremen Terrorismus gegen die Bevölkerung. Würden Rechtsextremisten vergleichbare Anschläge gegen die kritische Infrastruktur verüben, würde man sie mit aller Macht des Staates jagen und wegen Umsturzphantasien und Gründung einer terroristischen Vereinigung für viele Jahre ins Gefängnis sperren. Die Rentner-Truppe um den verirrten und verwirrten Prinz Reuss hat gerade das vierte Weihnachtsfest in Untersuchungshaft verbracht, der Staat hat sie mit aller Härte verfolgt und mit der GSG9 und empörter Medienbegleitung zur Strecke gebracht.

Nichts dergleichen hat offenbar die sogenannte Vulkangruppe zu fürchten, die seit vielen Jahren ungestört ihren Feuerterror verüben kann.

Niemand bei Polizei, Staatsschutz und Verfassungsschutz scheint sich ernsthaft dafür zu interessieren, wer hinter dieser Vulkangruppe steckt. Obwohl ständig vom Schutz unserer kritischen Infrastruktur die Rede ist, ist von einer Ermittlungsgruppe Vulkan beim BKA nichts bekannt, im Verfassungsschutzbericht taucht diese Terrorbande nur als Randnotiz auf. All das wäre vollkommen undenkbar, wenn dieser Terror von rechts käme.

Linksterrorismus aus der militanten Antifa aber wird in unserem Land nicht nur geduldet, sondern geradezu staatlich gehegt, gepflegt und gefördert. Das Gedankengut der Antifa hat es in Person von Lars Klingbeil an die Spitze des Staates geschafft und herrscht nun über Hunderte Millionen Euro"

Kein Stromausfall, sondern Linksterrorismus

Trump signs order designating Antifa as a domestic terror organization. Really!

If I am not mistaken, then Antifa is a very nebulous and imprecise term like e.g. "woke"! I am not sure this is a good idea!

Is Antifa not a vague category or hodgepodge of groups, activists etc.? Some are militant, others are not etc.

The term may not be very operational or is too comprehensive, convoluted!

He probably should have called something like lawbreaking radical militant groups and individuals (no matter what the political affiliation etc.) that commit certain violations of the law (as described in the executive order or see below).

"... Antifa is a militarist, anarchist enterprise [???] that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government, law enforcement authorities, and our system of law. 

It uses illegal means to organize and execute a campaign of violence and terrorism nationwide to accomplish these goals. 

This campaign involves coordinated efforts to obstruct enforcement of Federal laws through armed standoffs with law enforcement, organized riots, violent assaults on Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other law enforcement officers, and routine doxing of and other threats against political figures and activists. 

Antifa recruits, trains, and radicalizes young Americans to engage in this violence and suppression of political activity, then employs elaborate means and mechanisms to shield the identities of its operatives, conceal its funding sources and operations in an effort to frustrate law enforcement, and recruit additional members. ..."

Trump signs order designating Antifa as a domestic terror organization | Just The News "The order comes after Trump declared last week that he would designate the group as a "domestic terrorist organization," and that he would consider giving the same name to other far-left groups, though he did not specify the other groups."

Terrorists kill 27 in Iranian southeast, including IRGC members

What a mess! What a sacrilege! God have mercy! Do not kill is supposedly the Highest Commandment of Abrahamic religions!

"Suspected Sunni Muslim terrorists killed at least 11 Iranian security officers and suffered 16 fatalities in attacks on Iran's Revolutionary Guards headquarters in the southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchestan, state media said on Thursday.

The attacks by terrorists from the Jaish al-Adl group took place overnight and targeted Iranian Revolutionary Guards headquarters in Rask and Chabahar, located in the Sistan and Baluchistan provinces, the reports said.

At least eight terrorists were killed during exchanges of fire with security forces, the media reports said. ...

State TV said ten other security officers were also injured in the fighting in the impoverished region, which has a predominantly Sunni Muslim population. ...

Jaish al-Adl is an extremist Sunni Muslim terror group that operates in southeastern Iran and the western Pakistani province of Balochistan.

In January, Iran targeted two bases of the terrorist group in Pakistan with missiles, prompting a rapid military riposte from Islamabad targeting what it said were separatist terrorists in Iran. ..."

US gave advance notice of Moscow attack. What is the 'duty to warn'?

Recommendable! This article provides a bit more background!

I think, the "duty to warn" principle has not been given enough attention that it deserves in the case of the horrific terrorist attack and massacre on a concert hall in Moscow.

Anybody with credible information about an impending terrorist attack aiming to kill or maim a multitude of individuals (including children) has a duty to warn.

What is apparently extremely critical is the timeliness of the warnings. Unlike in the Boston Marathon Bombings, where the Russians warned about two years to early, this time the warning was very timely in the case of the terrorist attack in Moscow.

Apparently, Putin the Terrible preferred to ignore the warning! Could this finally end his reign of terror as a war criminal!

"The United States shared those advance intelligence indications under a tenet of the U.S. intelligence community called the “duty to warn,” which obliges U.S. intelligence officials to lean toward sharing knowledge of a dire threat if conditions allow. That holds whether the targets are allies, adversaries or somewhere in between. ...

Such warnings aren’t always heeded — the United States has dropped the ball in the past on at least one Russian warning of extremist threats in the United States. ...

On March 7, the U.S. government went public with a remarkably precise warning: The U.S. Embassy in Moscow was monitoring unspecified reports that “extremists have imminent plans to target large gatherings in Moscow, to include concerts.” It warned U.S. citizens in Moscow to avoid big events over the next 48 hours.

U.S. officials said after the attack that they had shared the warning with Russian officials as well, under the duty to warn, but gave no details how. ...

The U.S. emphasis on sharing threat warnings increased after al-Qaeda’s Aug. 7, 1998, attacks on the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. While dozens of U.S. citizens and government employees of different nationalities were killed, Kenyans made up the majority of the victims.

In 2015, then national intelligence director James Clapper formalized duty to warn in an official directive: The U.S. intelligence community bore “a responsibility to warn U.S. and non-U.S. persons of impending threats of intentional killing, serious bodily injury or kidnapping.” ...

Strategic U.S. dissemination of intelligence hit a high point in the months before Russia’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine. That’s when the U.S. opted to declassify key intelligence on Russia’s invasion plans to rally allies and Ukraine, and — unsuccessfully — to pressure Russia to call off its troops. ...

In January [2024], a U.S. official said, Americans had given a similar warning to Iranian officials ahead of bombings in the Iranian city of Kerman. The Islamic State claimed responsibility for that attack, twin suicide bombings that killed 95 people. ...

In 2013, it was U.S. officials who, tragically, failed adequately to follow up on a Russian warning, a U.S. government review concluded later.

Concerned the man posed a threat to Russia as well, Russia’s Federal Security Service in 2011 warned U.S. officials that a U.S. resident, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was an adherent of extremist groups. After U.S. officials concluded Tsarnaev was not a threat in the U.S., he and his younger brother planted bombs along the route of the Boston Marathon, killing three people and injuring hundreds."

Why Russia fears the emergence of Tajik terrorists

Recommendable, however this article is suggestive of "Terrorism as desperation?"! Some background on the alleged terrorists! 

Yet many of the details and facts about this terrorist attack or its perpetrators are still not known very well.

Caution: There is absolutely no excuse or justification for the horrific terrorist attack on and mass killing of the visitors of the concert hall in Moscow! Like the October 7, 2023 or the September 11, 2001 mass murder attacks they are committed by coward killers and Barbarians! May any of the surviving murderers or accomplices or leader never live in peace again!

"It has emerged that the four gunmen charged in the murder of at least 139 concert-goers at Moscow’s Crocus City Hall theatre were all citizens of the small post-Soviet nation of Tajikistan in Central Asia. ...

Tajikistan, a landlocked country of 10 million sandwiched between Uzbekistan, Afghanistan and China, is the most impoverished of the former Soviet republics. Known for its corruption and political repression, it has chafed under the iron-fisted rule of President Emomali Rahmon since 1994.

There are estimated to be well over three million Tajiks living in Russia, about one-third of the total Tajik population. Most of them hold the precarious status of “guest workers,” holding low-paying jobs in construction, produce markets or even cleaning public toilets.

While Russia’s declining population has led to increasing reliance on foreign workers to fill such needs within its labour force, the attitude of Russians towards natives of Central Asia and the Caucasus region is generally negative. ..."
