All This Domestic Terrorism

Since the death of Charlie there has been a lot of chest thumping about domestic terrorism…..and the blame aimed toward the Dems and anyone who does not agree with the silly policies of Donny and his compliant thugs….

Donny has floated the idea of putting antifa on the list of domestic terrorist organization.

President Trump announced from the UK, where he is currently on a state visit, that he plans to designate antifa a terrorist organization, though it’s not clear exactly how that will work. The president made the announcement on his Truth Social network around 1:30am local time Thursday, the AP reports. “I am pleased to inform our many USA Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION,” he wrote. “I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” As multiple news outlets including Politico are pointing out, however, it’s unclear how Trump can carry out his plan.

Antifa, short for anti-fascist, is an umbrella term for groups that resist fascism and neo-Nazis, and as it’s a decentralized movement, it’s not clear how the terrorist group label could be applied. Former FBI Director Christopher Wray said during a 2020 Congressional hearing that antifa is “a movement or an ideology,” not an organization. And since it’s domestic, it can’t be included on the State Department list of foreign terror organizations. There is currently no domestic equivalent, partially because of the First Amendment rights afforded to US groups. Trump on Monday said he would designate antifa a domestic terror organization if his cabinet, including the attorney general, agreed, Fox News reports. In the wake of Charlie Kirk’s shooting, multiple members of the Trump administration have indicated plans to halt any criticism of the rightwing activist.

Blondi will do whatever the half-wit wants and put a non-existent organization on the domestic terrorists list.  IDIOTS!

In fact this is just red meat for morons!

For those that are slow on the uptake….antifa is NOT an organization….there is NO national headquarters, No national leader, No membership dues….it is NOT an organization….it is a group of people that are not afraid to confront Nazis and anyone who espouses their twisted thinking.

So for MAGA idiots and their disgusting leader to keep beating a dead horse….most of the violence comes in from the Right….

Within the past few days, the Department of Justice deleted one of its own studies from its website showing that “far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists.”

The timing comes just a few days after Charlie Kirk, the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA, was fatally shot while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University on September 10. Tyler Robinson, 22, has been arrested and charged with aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury, two counts of obstruction of justice, two counts of witness tampering, and commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child. The state is seeking the death penalty.

Kirk was a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump, encouraging the young voters in his organization to vote for Trump during his presidential campaigns and speaking at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee last year. In the wake of Kirk’s death, Trump and other Republicans have broadly blamed the “radical left” for the shooting.

The deletion of the study from the DOJ website was flagged by Daniel Malmer, a PhD student at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill who is studying “online extremism, radicalization, and conspiracy beliefs.”

DOJ Deletes Its Own Study From Website Showing ‘Far More’ Domestic Terrorism Committed by ‘Far-Right Extremists’

That is what they do…..delete anything that contradicts their desired outcome…..classic authoritarian move.

I pity the morons that support this demented slug for this will come back and bite them in the ass….and I will smile for they deserve everything that comes.

+++A closing thought–this will be it for today because I return to the hospital for more poking, prodding and scanning….I shall return tomorrow…..you have been warned.+++

Peace Out!

Democracy For A Peaceful World

Since the early years of my schooling I was taught that the US was a beacon of freedom and democracy in this world.

The original mission statement for the Department of State was that it was to promote democracy and human rights….I believe that mission statement has been changed in the last few months.

The high moral ideal that democracy promotes peace is being challenged these days.

This is an article from Switzerland…..

Switzerland is not only a peaceful, democratic country, it is also – as stated in its constitution – committed to democracy and the peaceful “coexistence of peoples” worldwide. The extent to which democracy and peace are linked from a Swiss perspective is demonstrated by the fact that the promotion of democracy is the responsibility of the “Peace and Human Rights” department in the foreign ministry.

The perspective that democratisation brings peace has also had an impact internationally since 1945. Since the Second World War, the number of interstate wars has decreased and the number of democratic states has increased.

In 2024, there were once again more autocratic states than democratic ones. And liberal democracies, which respect the rights and freedoms of the individual, have even become a rare form of government. Only 900 million people live in a liberal democracy. In contrast, 72% of the world’s population live in a dictatorship. This is the highest number since 1978. At the same time, Western countries, above all the US, are scaling back their promotion of democracy abroad.

Are these developments linked to the many conflicts that exist around the world?

In addition to peace, prosperity in particular has long been a promise of democratisation, political scientist Karina Mross told Swissinfo. “But the example of China has undermined this argument. Especially since China is trying to define its own form of democracy,” she said.

A few years ago, China presented an argument as to why dictatorship is “a democracy that works”External link. Authoritarian states are trying – also in international organisations – to counter the liberal order with their own alternative model of values and prosperity.

If the economic argument is dropped, the question arises as to whether democratisation is at least a guarantee for peace.

In recent years I have not seen the promise of democracy brings with it a peaceful world.

Has anyone else had this vision?

What makes anyone think that a country that spends a trillion dollars on war prep is working for a more peaceful world?

Indicators point o a problem….

In 2024, the number of state-based conflicts worldwide reached its highest level since 1946. Military expenditures have risen for 10 consecutive years, surpassing $2.7 trillion annually.

A record number of children have been victims of armed conflict, and gains in women’s rights hang in the balance around the world amid record levels of conflict.

The world is confronting converging crises. In September 2024, the United Nations convened the Summit for the Future, an initiative by the UN secretary-general aimed at addressing the collapse of the post-Cold War multilateral system, as well as the increasing number of conflicts and humanitarian emergencies. All of this is occurring in the climate change era.

The world does not need more wars….even our once proud nation has been slowly drifting away from being a safe place….

Global Peace Index (GPI), released annually by the Institute for Economics & Peace, provides a look at the country’s overall safety and security—and it’s concerning. The Index rates more than 160 nations on factors like crime, conflict, and military spending. In the most recent report, the United States ranks near the bottom.

The 2025 results officially place the U.S. among the least peaceful countries in the world. Here’s more insight into why America’s score is so low and how it compares with other nations.

How sad is that?  But not to worry it will make america great again, right?

Just wondering.
