Multiple #Trump ofcls have links to #antisemitic #extremists

Trump campaigned on a pledge [🤔] to fight #antisemitism.

"Antisemitic bigotry has no place in a civilized society," Trump said in 2024.

However, …antisemitism…found a place within his administration.

NPR has identified 3 Trump ofcls w/close ties to antisemitic extremists, including a man described by federal prosecutors as a "Nazi sympathizer," & a prominent #HolocaustDenier.

A year of hate: what I learned when undercover with the far right

For more than a year, I went #undercover in the #British #FarRight

Using the pseudonym Chris, I spent time with nine different groups of #extremists. Among them were a:

- Political party
- Circle of #Holocaust deniers
- Organisation backed by an #American #tech #tycoon that sought to prove black people are genetically less intelligent than white people.

Day 18 cont 🪓⛏️🔨👺😷🥷

#DanielJones claimed responsibility for the #confrontation on Tuesday, alongside alt-right group #Melbourne #FreedomRally, in an incident that sparked #safety concerns about the ability of #extremists to #infiltrate #SecureLocations during the #election campaign.”

The two most dangerous times for diplomatic and political security is INGRESS and EGRESS from cars to buildings, buildings to cars. How did the extremists learn the TIME and PLACE of the PM?

#AusPol / #OpSec / #PM / #security / #Labor <archive.md/R98nM> / <smh.com.au/politics/federal/it> (paywall)

They make claims at odds with reality and use eagerness to repeat them as a test of loyalty. The result is politicians acting in seemingly irrational ways, to the detriment of their own standing with voters and against the interests of the country.

Data on #DomesticTerrorism investigations indicate #FarRight #extremists have been a rising threat to Americans over the past half decade….The rate of increase in domestic-terrorism-related cases is eye-popping: A Feb 2023 Govt Accountability Office report found the #FBI tallied 9,049 such cases in 2021, up from 5,557 in 2020; 4,092 such cases in 2019; & 3,714 in 2018. In 2017, the year of #UniteTheRight, there were 1,890 domestic-terrorism-related cases, nearly equivalent to the preceding 4yrs.

ready for a small #ww2 #nazi #Germany #history lesson?
1. #fascism is simply the CONCENTRATION AND ABUSE OF POWER IN THE HAND OF A FEW #UNELECTED #ANTIDEMOCRATS (it usually ends in #catastrophe)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasces

2. this #bs #historian youtu.be/kbWLE07NGcw?t=402 says #god was killed by the #nietzsche and the #bolshevik (the #communists #commies #soviets) and thus the so well educated #civilized #Germany did the #holocaust (ok does not make sense but well!?)

no the reason is much simpler, #Germany had SEVERE #economic problems and 1929 #stockmarket crash #USA demanding all loans back from #Germany made it worse + a (#money) #corrupted #Democracy (yes it happened before) destroyed a lot of #trust of the people

in #economic (!) desperation (and possibly other problems) they voted for #extremists as a kind of last resort (stupid) idea to fix things and in the beginning #Hitler did fix some things like #unemployment and #hunger in the #cities, but of course the #madmen had bigger goals, like rule the planet, no matter if he killed everyone in the process

also it seems like powerful elites in the #West #USA feared #communism and the nationalization of assets as #realestate and #factories, so these #elites welcomed a #radical #Germany that would fight #communism = the enemy of the rich to death (and they believed their #Hitler and did and died, #German soldiers that survived LITERATELY stated that they were not fighting the #Russian population but #communism !!! )

check this out: "So there are a lot of #American #elites who were involved in helping #finance and helping rearm and helping rebuild the #German #economy during this period. It’s a shameful episode. Oliver and I go into it in some depth in the documentary Untold History and the book of Untold History because we think it’s a very important story that gets swept under the carpet when we’re talking about these people being the greatest generation. A lot of those folks who we call the ‘greatest generation’ were #Nazi enablers, and many of them saw the #Nazis as a #bulwark against #Bolshevism, as against #communism, and were therefore happy and willing to support and allow and tolerate and turn a blind eye to the rearmament of Germany during this time, because they saw the Nazis as the way to stop the #Communists and the #SovietUnion

Among those who explicitly stated that was Senator #HarryTruman, who on the floor of the Senate said if the #Germans are winning we support the #Russians, and if the #Russians are winning we support the #Germans. And that way let them kill as many of each other as possible. That was not #Roosevelt’s attitude."

#Religious #extremists from all faiths should not have a place on the streets of #Europe. If you promote harm to anyone else on the basis of faith then it should be prison, period. We must stand up for those wronged by religious zealots across the world, whether it is the #Muslim victims in India or the #Christian victims in Egypt.

Lets tolerate everyone regardless of faith, or no faith. After all beliefs are personal... and should stay that way.

#DickDurbin, the top Dem on the #Senate #Judiciary Cmte, pressed #KashPatel on appearances he made on a podcast hosted by #StewPeters. Peters has often expressed #antisemitic & #WhiteNationalist views.
Pressed by Durbin about why he has associated w/so many #extremists & #ConspiracyTheorists, Patel claimed he went on podcasts to take on people putting out #ConspiracyTheories in order to disabuse them of their false impressions & to talk to them about the truth. A flat-out #lie.

We need #NuancedActivism ✊ that can pull #people gently by the shirt timely enough to bring them back into the fold of #CivilSociety where #truth and #CriticalThinking can be nurtured again.

What we have is #RepellentActivism that puts a hot iron to anyone acting suspicious, and ensures they're so hurt never to return.

Repellent #activism is loved by #extremists both on the left and right as it feeds into voracious #PuritySpirals and suck more people into deep #radicalisation.
