President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he is designating "ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION."The president noted further that he will strongly recommend that those caught funding this decentralized anarcho-communist militant group be "thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices."Trump's renewed interest in cracking down on leftist terrorists has inspired some political leaders across the Atlantic to follow suit.Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who years ago passed a series of "Stop Soros" laws criminalizing the promotion and support of illegal immigration, noted on Friday, "We will take steps to designate Antifa as a terrorist organization in Hungary. They've attacked peaceful people in the streets, leaving some severely injured, then have the audacity to scold us from the European Parliament. This is unacceptable."'Alignment with the United States — the world's leading actor in the fight against terrorism — is indispensable.'Orbán was referring to the February 2023 attacks in which Antifa thugs, primarily from Germany, descended on Budapest and targeted numerous individuals who supposedly looked like members of the hard right.While several of the leftist thugs responsible for the savage attacks were able to flee the country and avoid extradition, Italian national Ilaria Salis was captured by local police.Salis dodged accountability because of her subsequent election as a member of the European Parliament in the Greens and Left Alliance. On Tuesday, the European Parliament's Committee on Legal Affairs will reportedly decide whether to waive Salis' political immunity and thereby enable Hungary to reopen her criminal case.RELATED: Media tries to protect Antifa with tired al-Qaeda talking points AMY OSBORNE/AFP via Getty Images Orbán expressed gratitude to Trump "for taking the lead, calling them what they are: terrorists."Péter Szijjártó, the Hungarian minister of foreign affairs, sent a letter on Saturday to Kaja Kallas, vice president of the European Commission, stressing that "the Antifa movement constitutes a grave threat to the security of the citizens of the European Union and its Member Sates. It is therefore our shared responsibility to strengthen our collective response."Citing Trump's recognition of Antifa's terroristic nature, Szijjártó stressed that "Hungary is convinced that on an issue of such significance[,] alignment with the United States — the world's leading actor in the fight against terrorism — is indispensable."Szijjártó urged the European Union to follow Trump's example by adding Antifa to the EU list of terrorist organizations and by imposing "the necessary restrictive measures on groups and individuals connected to it."There have been other attempts in recent years to put Antifa on the EU terrorist list, but there appears to be greater momentum behind the initiative this time around.Last week in the Netherlands, the Dutch parliament passed a motion requesting that the government recognize Antifa as a terrorist organization.The motion, co-sponsored by Geert Wilders, chairman of the Party for Freedom, apparently noted that Antifa thugs "are also active in our country, threatening politicians, disrupting meetings, intimidating students and journalists, and not shying away from using violence."Dutch politician Thierry Baudet, the leader of the right-leaning Forum for Democracy party, stated, "Enough is enough! The violent and criminal terrorist organisation that is Antifa, with chapters all over the world, will finally be OUTLAWED in the Netherlands. This is just the beginning."Kyle Shideler, director and senior analyst at the Center for Security Policy, recently told Blaze News editor in chief Matthew Peterson on "Blaze News: The Mandate" that the optimal way forward for the Trump administration to effectively crack down on Antifa at home is to designate foreign Antifa groups as terrorists, link them to international Antifa networks, then target U.S.-based groups connected to the network.

In 2009, Glenn Beck was threatened by billionaire powerbroker George Soros.“Your boss is hurting my boss, and it will end,” one of Soros’ goons told Joel Cheatwood, who at the time served as the founding chief content officer at the Blaze.“And when Joel said, ‘No, I don't think that's going to end. I know my boss, and I don't think he's going to stop,’ [Soros’ man] said, ‘I don't think you understand. He is going to stop, and you should just let your boss know that the ship is about to sail,”’ Glenn recalls.But it’s what came next that is perhaps most unnerving. The henchman added, “Everything that is needed is on board, and everyone's getting onto the boat, and it's about to set sail, and you do not want to be left on the dock, but it's setting sail, and it's going to leave, and your boss and you people are not going to be on it.”Today, 16 years later, that cryptic omen is now manifesting before our very eyes. France’s government just collapsed earlier this month when former Prime Minister François Bayrou lost a confidence vote in the National Assembly over his proposed austerity budget to tackle the country's ballooning debt and rising borrowing costs.Predictably, the mainstream media is circulating the narrative that France’s financial predicament is the result of decades of deficit spending, COVID-era bailouts, and rising interest costs. But the truth couldn’t be more obvious: This the Cloward-Piven plan on full display.France’s welfare system has been intentionally overwhelmed in order to collapse the system, and the country’s record migrant numbers have been a critical step in this process.“What's happening with France here is exactly what happened in New York City — what Cloward and Piven did in New York City back in the '70s,” says Glenn’s head researcher Jason Buttrill.France’s current financial crisis was “the point” of the nation’s open borders agenda, says Glenn — and so is the anarchy that’s on the horizon. Now that the country is forced to make significant cuts to its social welfare programs, those migrants and far-left extremists aren’t likely to sit idly by.“When you stop paying them for not working, when all of a sudden all of that goes away, do you think they're going to be happy about it? Do you think they're going to not light the streets on fire?” Glenn asks.But America would be ignorant to look at France’s situation as anything other than a mirror. “We are all on the verge of collapse, and nobody's recognizing it,” Glenn says.Like France and the U.K., which has begun “arresting children for wearing T-shirts with the English flag on it,” the United States is also contending with the crime, anti-American movements, and financial strain of the Biden regime’s mass illegal immigration agenda.“If we don't wake up soon, [America’s collapse] is going to happen because the entire West is going to collapse,” Glenn cautions.And that’s what Soros meant when he said the ship is ready: The West has been intentionally teed up to fall into unspeakable darkness.Glenn warns: “If this socialism thing goes, America, we're about to see one of the darkest predictions that I have made come true ... and that is: If America goes dark with the powers that we have, the technology that we have, the ability that we have, we will make the Nazis look like rookies.”To hear more, watch the video above.Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
