The Trump regime's emergent Auslands-Organisation

In an homage to Adolf Hitler’s infamous Nazi Auslands-Organisation, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and White House “counter-terrorism czar” Sebastian Gorka are hosting on July 16 in Washington, DC a strategy session against “transnational far‑left terrorism.” It is not coincidental that the session is scheduled two days after France’s Bastille Day, the French holiday that marks the beginning of the French Revolution against the monarchy and a rallying date for leftists in France and other republics.

There is little surprise that Rubio and Gorka are attempting to craft an international group to suppress left-wing political parties and movements.

In an homage to Adolf Hitler’s infamous Nazi Auslands-Organisation (AO) (Foreign Organization), Secretary of State Marco Rubio and White House “counter-terrorism czar” Sebastian Gorka are hosting on July 16 in Washington, DC a strategy session against “transnational far‑left terrorism.” It is not coincidental that the session is scheduled two days after France’s Bastille Day, the holiday that marks the beginning of the French Revolution against the monarchy.

There is little surprise that Rubio and Gorka are attempting to craft an international group to suppress left-wing political parties and movements. The stated purpose of the proposed pact is to create a U.S.-led diplomatic and counter-terrorism campaign to pressure other nations to treat “Antifa,” a non-existent organization, as a major international threat. Antifa stands for “anti-fascism” and is a policy not an actual organization. However, just as the Nazis in Germany and the Fascists in Italy, Spain, Portugal, and other countries once labeled the left as “Communists,” the regime in Washington is casting a wide net over any political party that espouses social democracy and anti-imperialism.

Trump has already weaponized his fascist regime against the Democratic Socialists of America and, more generally, Democratic elected officials and party officials, as well as labor union leaders. It’s the same template that the Nazis and fascists have historically used to designate their opposition: leftists, labor unions, university students, the intelligentsia, and the press.

Although “antifa” is a non-existent global organization, Rubio, aided and abetted by Gorka, have designated it and several European political movements as “foreign terrorist organizations.” No attempt has been made to designate several anti-democratic and fascist parties and movements in Europe as “terrorist” groups, even though they have carried out terror campaigns against minorities and leftist organizations.

Rubio and Gorka: the “gruesome twosome” of a fascist foreign policy

Gorka is acting no different than Ernst Wilhelm Bohle, the Nazi director of Hitler’s and Joseph Goebbels’s AO. Bohle supervised the establishment of AO affiliates in the United States, Switzerland, Brazil, Paraguay, Costa Rica, Union of South Africa and Southwest Africa, Dominican Republic, Dutch East Indies, Finland, Ireland, Samoa, and Sweden. The AO branches conducted liaison with local Nazi parties such as the German-American Bund in the United States, Rexists in Belgium, National People’s Rally in France, Ethnic German Movement in Luxembourg, National Socialist Movement of the Netherlands, National Union in Norway, Albanian Fascist Militia in Albania and Yugoslav Kosovo, Omakaitse in Estonia, Arājs Kommandos in Latvia, Lithuanian Activist Front in Lithuania, Greek Socialist Patriotic Organization (ESPO) and National Union of Greece in Greece, Arrow Cross Party in Hungary, Ustaše in Croatia. Yugoslav National Movement in Serbia, Lovćen Brigade in Montenegro, Ohrana in Macedonia, Blue Guard in Slovenia, Kalmykian Cavalry Corps in Kalmykia, Ukrainian Liberation Army in Ukraine, Belarusian Central Council in Belarus, Armenian Legion in Armenia, Special Party of Caucasus Brothers in Chechnia-Ingushetia, Phalangist Party in Lebanon, and Indian National Army in India.

Bohle, sentenced for war crimes at the Nuremberg Trials, said after his release from prison that Hitler likely went insane prior to World War II. Donald Trump is following in those shoes.

There is little doubt that the Trump regime’s plan to establish a global “antifa” coalition is an attempt to recreate Nazi Germany’s worldwide fascist, Nazi, and anti-Communist bloc that further expanded the influence of the Axis alliance of Germany, Italy, Japan, and a group of puppet states.

Rubio’s invitation list for the counter-antifa meeting in Washington closely resembles the Nazi’s grouping of like-minded nations during World War II. Among the nations invited to Washington are Indonesia, India, Singapore, Brazil, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Poland, Czechia, Austria, Hungary, Greece, Ireland, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Slovenia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia, Albania, Kosovo, Israel, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Uruguay, Paraguay, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, Panama. Japan, South Korea, Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam. Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Canada, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago.

The counter-antifa meeting is a recipe for failure. One confirmed nation is Brazil, which is led by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who is running for re-election against a fascist-aligned opposition. Brazil’s participation appears to be a camel with its nose under the tent influence operation more than anything else. Also confirmed as participants are India, governed by the right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party of Narendra Modi, and Singapore.

Overall, the counter-antifa meeting appears to be as unsuccessful as Trump’s “Great American State Fair,” essentially, a flop.
