Antifa

Antifa riots and mayhem at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement headquarters in Portland, Oregon, have been on the wane since the wintry rains began to blanket the city.

Until Friday night, that is, when Portland Police made a rare arrest.

Friday night is when Portland Police arrested one of the costumed weirdos populating the scrum of leftover Antifa and Trantifa activists who collect outside the ICE HQ and attack federal officers to keep them from rolling up bad guys.

On December 12th, the Department of State said it is offering a reward of up to $10 million “for information leading to the disruption of the financial mechanisms of four European-based groups designated by the U.S. government as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs).”

The press release announcing the move was issued in Hungarian and English by the American embassy in Budapest. Not coincidentally, Thomas G. DiNanno, Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security, was in Hungary that day for what was his first official visit abroad since he took office in October.

The U.S. Department of State on Friday announced rewards of up to $10 million for information leading to the disruption of the financial networks of several European Antifa organisations, marking a turning point in Western security policy.

For the first time, the U.S. government is directly, formally, and decisively targeting violent far-left groups operating in Europe, treating them as an international terrorist threat, rather than a mere radical protest movement. The decision reflects a shift in U.S. security policy under the new administration, following its National Security Strategy, which identifies violent ideological movements as a growing transnational threat.

On November 13, 2025, the US State Department added four European terrorist organizations to its list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs): Antifa Ost (Germany), the International Revolutionary Front (Italy), Armed Proletarian Justice (Greece) and Revolutionary Class Self-Defense (Greece).

This decision by the US administration was based on overwhelming evidence: knife and hammer attacks, shootings, bombings and the use of improvised explosive devices that targeted civilians, public infrastructure and private businesses.

A major trial of alleged members of the far-left extremist group known as the ‘Hammer Gang’ (Hammerbande) is set to begin Tuesday at the Higher Regional Court in Dresden.

Among the defendants are the group’s leaders, Johann Guntermann and Paul M., who face charges of membership in or support of a far-left criminal organization as well as attempted murder. The trial had been postponed several times, with the latest delay due to the unavailability of the defense.

In Texas, a group of anti-ICE attempted murderers has become the first Antifa terrorists to be convicted for domestic terrorism since Donald Trump so designated the radical leftist movement.

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is moving to designate four violent left-wing groups based in Europe as either foreign terrorist organizations or specifically designated global terrorists as part of a broad crackdown on extremism.

US State Department officials announced the intended designation on Thursday, saying the Antifa groups — Antifa Ost, the International Revolutionary Front, Armed Proletarian Justice, and Revolutionary Class Self Defense — “use force against those they identify as opponents of their Marxist and anarchist projects.”

While some European countries have hastened to follow US President Donald Trump’s example in designating Antifa as a terrorist organisation, Germany is not one of them. In fact, the German Government actively promotes Antifa.

Thus, as first disclosed by German journalist Stefan Frank on the Achse des Guten (‘Axis of Good’) blog, last year the German Government funded a full-fledged “guide for Antifa thugs”, as the title of Frank’s piece puts it. The description alludes to the Antifa movement’s well-known proclivity for violence. The brochure itself is titled Nazis Hate These Tricks: 20 Reflections on How to Combat Right-Wing Extremism. It was funded, believe it or not, by the German Ministry of Family Affairs – or, per its full title at the time, the Ministry for Family, Seniors, Women and Youth – as well as one other German public agency.

Tell me that Antifa is a manufactured mercenary group created by the American deep state (and its affiliates) without telling me that it’s a manufactured mercenary group created by the American deep state…
