This is one of the most dangerous clips I have seen this year.
The FBI used to be a serious organisation, but now that Trump is replacing knowledge with conspiracy theories, the bureau is forced to work with made up narratives.
There is just one problem: Those narratives need to survive representative Bennie Thompson of the Homeland Security Committee, and when FBI representative Michael Glasheen claims Antifa is “the most immediate violent threat”, Bennie Thompson swats him like a fly.

The #deepstate #hoax has worn out.
The polls point downwards - that's a disgrace for the best administration ever.
Time for the #antifa #hoax .
Must be some unknown unknown - so hidden that secret services are unable to find real people. Must be the strongest and most powerful organization ever - dangerous like hell! 🤫
Next up: Assassination of #EU "Antifa" leaders of current governments ?
@randahl But you did. Dismissive. So Americans do you sleep well at night knowing the FBI and Homeland security has identified a phantom organization as the biggest domestic terror threat bigger than the J6 insurrectionists or neo-Nazi's , or the pipe bomber , or the KKK orany other actual REAL threats?
@randahl When your boss and you agree that some thing is bad, but you both don't know what that thing is, and when you are asked by someone else what that thing is and you don't know what to say because it's a general moral sentiment that the public holds, and not some kind of morphing organization like the National Potato Chip Institute
@randahl Oh Pooh. They were never a serious organization. From the days of the McCarthy hearings through watergate and on to antifa, they've always been on the side of the Ofays and Oppressors.
@randahl FBI are gophers for political parties. They used to be something but that faded away.
@randahl just sharing a recent purchase I made for no particular reason ..

@randahl His goals have been to make all of the IC and law enforcement agencies untrusted arms of his own desires. So far, he has succeeded.
@randahl Those who believe absurdities will sure as heck commit atrocities.
The clip reveals the true danger of the Trump presidency: When key resources are wasted on Trump’s imagined enemies, the US risks that the real enemies go unchecked.

The true danger is that everyday citizens are classified as terrorists.
In our philosophy of law, we, as a free society, when in doubt, chose to let the guilty go free to ensure we never let an innocent go to jail.
This is the conversion of the FBI into a gestapo. The guilty going free are secondary, even if they are white suprematists.
If however, if you are against white nationalism, you are anti-fascist, you are a terrorist.
This is the dictatorship.
If you invent a terrorist organization you can assign any person to its membership.
Trump has the proving-a-negative-is-impossible piece down. No one can prove that they do not belong to an organization that is made up. Trump made up the organization. Good luck proving you don't belong!
