If an intelligence memo recently issued from the FBI’s office in Phoenix is any kind of barometer, the agency apparently sees antifascists organizing along the border as a dire threat, with the potential to wreak serious harm against government agencies. Yet for the past 15 years—and even today—as right-wing extremists have been organizing vigilante “border watches” that turned out to be breeding grounds for criminality and murder, and whose recent iterations have produced a similar litany of violence, no such intelligence assessment has been proffered for advice to law enforcement officials as the FBI’s memo about “anarchist extremist” has.

Titled “Anarchist Extremists Very Likely Increasing Targeting of US Government Entities in Arizona, Increasing Risk of Armed Conflict,” the memo outlines its reasons for fearing threats from the far right, including concerns that more such activists appear to be arming themselves.

1. It is interesting...

By doing that, it calls attention to the double standard here.

Fascism is as Fascism does, and we certainly are getting into the thick of it now. It has been gradual and obscured, but who wants to know and believe it is occurring despite the facades that blur the edges? Well, not knowing will eventually have its enlightenment once past the point of no return, and darn, we are really close to the edge.
