       While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Commander-in-Chief Trump issues an unnumbered executive order branding Antifa “as a ‘domestic terrorist organization’ … that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government, law enforcement authorities, and our system of law.”

       NOTES:

• There was no organization that refers to itself as “Antifa.”  Rather Antifa is a highly decentralized, anti-fascist movement most of which is not involved in violent action;
• Domestic terrorism was already illegal under existing state Law;

• “An executive order is … a written command issued by the President directing subordinate government officials to take specified actions or implement designated policies.”
