Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has announced a new undercover investigation aimed at infiltrating what he called "leftist terror cells" in his state, in the wake of a rise in political violence.

“Leftist political terrorism is a clear and present danger. Corrupted ideologies like transgenderism and Antifa are a cancer on our culture and have unleashed their deranged and drugged-up foot soldiers on the American people,” said Paxton in a statement Tuesday.

Why It Matters

Paxton has been one of the leading Republican attorneys general in recent years, seeking to take on former Democratic President Joe Biden and leading numerous lawsuits over immigration policies. He has also come under intense public scrutiny himself in recent months over his separation from his wife, who said she was filing for divorce on biblical grounds.

What To Know

Paxton cited the shooting of podcaster Charlie Kirk and what he called the "disturbing rise of leftist violence across the country." He did not comment on the recent murder of Minnesota Democrat Melissa Hortman and her husband, and the attempted murder of Democratic Senator John Hoffman and his wife.

2. The "leftist terrorist cells" will turn out to be normal people leafleting about McDonald's environmental record

I don't know if the audio for this works outside the UK: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002h38n

McDonald's Corporation v Steel & Morris [1997] EWHC 366 (QB), known as "the McLibel case", was an English lawsuit for libel filed by McDonald's Corporation against environmental activists Helen Steel and David Morris (often referred to as "The McLibel Two" ) over a factsheet critical of the company. Each of two hearings in English courts found some of the leaflet's contested claims to be libellous and others to be true.

The original case lasted nearly ten years which, according to the BBC and The Guardian, made it the longest-running trial in English history. McDonald's announced it did not plan to collect the £40,000 it was awarded by the courts. Following the decision, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruled in Steel & Morris v United Kingdom that the pair had been denied a fair trial, in breach of Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights (right to a fair trial), and their conduct should have been protected by Article 10 of the Convention, which protects the right to freedom of expression. The court awarded a judgment of £57,000 against the UK government. McDonald's itself was not involved in, or a party to, this action, as applications to the ECHR are independent cases filed against the relevant state.

Franny Armstrong and Ken Loach made a documentary film, McLibel, about the case.
...
Chapter 5 of Paul Lewis and Rob Evans' 2012 book Undercover: The True Story of Britain's Secret Police is titled "McSpies". In recounting the history of the Special Demonstration Squad (SDS) it recounts the involvement of undercover policemen Bob Lambert and John Dines in the activities which led up to the trial. The Guardian later reported that Lambert had co-written the leaflet that was central to the libel trial. Steel has stated that Dines became treasurer of London Greenpeace.

Documents from the case showed that McDonald's private investigators had been receiving information from the Metropolitan Police. The Metropolitan Police were sued over this, which was settled out of court and with an apology and the Metropolitan Police undertaking not to share information from police computers with corporations.

4. If we're "antifa," is it okay to call them "protifa?"

[RVN VET71]

5. I love the idea

I've no idea what a "tifa" might be, but that's the point.

Maybe "tifa" = "tinpot fascism"? or "tiny-penis fascism"? And "protifa" identifies its adherents?

6. Kirk was shot by one of your own,

But don't let the facts get in the way of your tirade of lies.
