"With the mainstream media distracted by the made-for-TV drama of James Comey's indictment, Trump has signed a little-noticed national security directive identifying "anti-Christian" and "anti-American" views as indicators of radical left violence. Called National Security Presidential Memorandum 7, it's being referred to as "NSPM-7" by administration insiders. "This is the first time in American history that there is an all-of-government effort to dismantle left wing terrorism," Trump's homeland security advisor Stephen Miller said, referring to the issuance."
"To the extent that the major media noticed the directive at all, they (even C-SPAN!) incorrectly labeled it an "executive order," like last week's designation of "Antifa" as a domestic terrorist organization. It's hard to overstate how much different NSPM-7 is from the over 200 executive orders Trump has frantically signed since coming back into office. An executive order publicly lays out the course"
National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7) identifies "anti-Christian" and "anti-American" views as indicators of radical left violence and directs a coordinated federal response. The directive is a national security directive rather than an executive order, giving it broad policy reach across defense, intelligence, and law enforcement. The administration published NSPM-7 despite such directives often being secret. The memorandum has been linked to an administration push to dismantle left-wing terrorism and follows recent designations such as labeling Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. Prior national security directives have previously provoked major public controversy.
