Civil Terrorism
Written by Laurence F. Sanford, ASCF Vice President- Operations
Civil or covert terrorism is intimidation, suppression of free speech and free assembly, and corruption of political leaders, media, and education. Overt terrorism is bombing, physical assault, assassination, and violence in the streets.
Both forms of terrorism lead to anarchy, which in turn triggers revolution and the violent overthrow of existing governmental institutions. Marxists and Islamists are causing anarchy in America.
We are now in an era where our leaders are succumbing to terrorism. Washington State Democrat U.S. Representative Adam Smith admitted he voted against aid to Israel because “My family and I have had our home vandalized, a fire has been set in my driveway, my neighbors’ lives have been disrupted by demonstrations in the middle of the night, town hall meetings meant to be forums for dialogue have been shut down, and a staff member has been physically assaulted.”
Instead of demanding the government do its number one job of protecting the people and taking protective measures to safeguard his family, Smith submitted to terror. But then, Smith represents the ultra-progressive state of Washington, where Antifa, BLM, and other terrorist organizations have reigned.
Political leaders are promoting terrorism. Marxist Muslim Mayor Zohran Mamdani of New York City (NYC) is encouraging protests in the streets against a U.N. visit of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Mamdani campaigned for mayor, promising to arrest Netanyahu for genocide in Gaza if he came to NYC.
The genocide charges against Netanyahu were filed by Karim Ahmad Khan, a Muslim British lawyer, who was the lead prosecutor for the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, Netherlands. Khan has since been removed for serious allegations of sexual abuse against a junior staff member. Why didn’t Khan file genocide charges against Hamas, the real perpetrators of genocide in Gaza?
In another act of civil terrorism, Mamdani’s regime has published the names and addresses of property owners who might be affected by his Marxist “tax the rich” scheme. Identifying and freezing the target (landlords) is right out of Saul Alinsky’s playbook, “Rules for Radicals.” Mamdani is waging Marxist class warfare in addition to race warfare.
Civil terrorism by the media suppresses news that does not fit the progressive agenda. “Communist“ is another word for “Progressive.” The Hunter Biden laptop news suppression and the signing of a letter by 51 senior intelligence officers about Trump’s supposed collusion with Russia are just a few examples.
But the worst civil terrorism is the anti-Jew hatred being spewed by the media, academia, Marxists, and Islamic organizations. Hamas committed genocide by invading Israel and butchering, raping, killing, and torturing over 1,200 Jews, and seizing over 200 hostages. Yet Israel is being accused of genocide!. Where is the ICC on Hamas’s blatant atrocities?
Wikipedia defines the Gaza genocide as: “The Gaza genocide is the ongoing, intentional, and systematic destruction of the Palestinian people.” Jew haters, including Wikipedia, accuse Israel of genocide, yet no genocide accusations are made against Hamas, which actually committed genocide. Hamas is a Muslim Brotherhood offshoot with the objective of wiping out Israel and Jews. It is a proxy for Iran. Hamas has ruled Gaza since 2007 with no popular elections and is supported financially by the U.N. The US contributes over 25% of the U.N. budget.
What would the U.S. do if Mexican cartels invaded California and killed 40,000 Americans?
The Wuhan Virus (COVID) was covert terrorism by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). It was also a watershed moment in defining the American character. We meekly submitted to government lockdowns and misinformation. We are no longer the home of the brave or the land of the free.
Summary
As politics is downstream from culture, terror is downstream from politics, anarchy is downstream from terror, and revolution is downstream from anarchy. In other words, society descends from culture to politics to terror to anarchy to revolution.
The US Judeo-Christian society of “e pluribus unum” (out of many, one) is being fragmented with the influx of mass illegal immigration by people whose culture is anti-Western civilization. The American Judeo-Christian culture of individual value and freedom is being poisoned by the Marxist/Islamic totalitarian culture of the state over the individual. The Democratic Socialists and progressives are seizing segments of politics.
Sharia law is a growing threat.
Marxist/Islamist civil terror and overt terror is well underway. This will be followed by anarchy, revolution, and the overthrow of American civilization.
Action
- Secure the border and enforce existing immigration laws.
- Deport illegal immigrants who commit crimes.
- Protect people and property.
- Defend the Constitution
- Elect leaders who represent American values.
It is better to light one candle than curse the darkness.
Peace Through Strength!
