Today we're discussing the National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7), a directive signed by President Trump targeting what the administration calls “radical left violence.”

The article by Klippenstein explains that NSPM-7 is a national security directive—a sweeping policy decree for defence, intelligence, and law enforcement—rather than a typical executive order, and it is the first "all-of-government effort to dismantle left wing terrorism" according to an administration insider.
Critically, the directive identifies certain common beliefs and viewpoints, such as anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity, as "indicators" of potential violence, leading the author to label it a "pre-crime" endeavour. NSPM-7 directs agencies like the Justice Department and FBI to retool existing Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs) to monitor and investigate individuals and groups for these political beliefs, bypassing typical Congressional oversight, which the author argues effectively makes it a "declaration of war" on political opponents of the administration.
