Sources: Antifa Insurgency Has Been in the Works for Months

A US law enforcement official, speaking anonymously, as well as private security experts, told The Washington Times that Floyd’s death was just the catalyst for the Antifa movement to unleash its plans, which were already being worked on for months. 

Insurgency in the Works Since Last Year 

Protests during the day and riots during the night have stormed the United States for over a week now, as the catalyst was the death of George Floyd – a black man, who died after a police officer kept him pinned to the ground for eight minutes, causing asphyxiation, medical examiners reported. 

“Antifa’s actions represent a hard break with the long tradition of a peaceful political process in the United States,” former National Security Council staff member Rich Higgins told the Times, adding that they’re looking to destroy “the use of elections as the determining factor in political legitimacy.” 

The report says that a program of widespread civil unrest is a hallmark of domestic terror groups, regardless of the circumstances that give it a vehicle. Antifa’s description is that of an “anti-fascist” movement, although the demonstrations in black-clad outfits and masks do nothing but sow division and chaos in politics. 

“They are fomenting this violence to create havoc, despair, and to target the Trump campaign for defeat in 2020,” former Defense Intelligence Agency official and counterinsurgency expert Joe Myers told the Times.  Joe Myers: Former Defense Intelligence Agency official and counterinsurgency expert .

President Trump pointed to Antifa in his anti-riot speech Monday, linking the movement to the most violent and destructive riots that have been happening after dark. The White House National Security Council is currently investigating coordinated plots, as well as gathering intelligence from the past week’s riots and looting throughout the country. 

Antifa is officially designated as a domestic terror organization by the US, giving leeway to further investigation and surveillance of the movement.
