These people are talking about like just the fact that there are zines talking about the purpose of black block and people are having a planning meeting ahead of time where they're like checking their gear and talking about how they're going to come in and block like, yeah, yeah, that's that's that's unfortunate.

Yeah, I can see why the prosecution went with that line of argument.

But how does this relate to, like, terrorism, right?

Because conspiracy and terrorism are different things.

Yes.

So to get an idea of the government's own preferred language regarding Antifa terrorism, I'll quote from the guilty plea drafted by the government for a former defendant turned government witness.

Quote,

The terrorism was calculated to influence and affect the conduct of government by intimidation or coercion.

Co-conspirators adhered to an Antifa anarchist ideology and organized cells or affinity groups.

Co-conspirators began planning direct action at Prairieland.

Co-conspirators agreed to dress in black block to provide cover for each other to commit crimes, including concealing the escape of those who committed destruction of government property, unquote.

So this is how it relates to like the actual legal definition of terrorism, right?

Which is certain criminal acts intending to change or influence government policy by intimidation or coercion, right?

That's how the government uses the term terrorism.

Yeah.

And this section of the plea written by the government shows how the government is self-asserting the terrorism that happened at Prairieland.

Right.

There's been a lot of headlines talking about the role of zines at this trial.

And zines did play a two-part role.

Prosecution did argue that the presence of insurrectionary zines is indicative of some alignment with Antifa, even if the possession of these zines itself is not a crime.
