1. What if we listed the Nazi Party as an organization involved in international terrorism? Does the legal definition apply to Nazis? IMO the issue is whether the unlawful activities of the Nazis "transcend" national boundaries. 
2. We know the Nazi movement is traceable to a failed Austrian artist, so the origins are international. But has relevant unlawful conduct continued to be part of international organizations? This is 1 page of 11 listing Nazi parties world-wide. US groups cover 1 page. ✔️
3. Looking at the list of the US @StateDept designated terrorist groups it is obvious that they are almost entirely directed at people who practice Islam. I'm not sure if there are any listed that are founded based on so-called Christian ideologies. Putting aside the apparent
4. suspect class, the issue is whether Christians are immune from terrorist listing due to their religious affiliations. I know of no lawful exclusion. ✔️
If @SecBlinken puts on legal blinders to make the determination, would Christian nationalist Nazis qualify as FTO members?

5. Here is what the Secretary would have to find to establish that the member of the Nazi party are engaged in terrorist activity as defined by the Immigration and Nationalization Act.
6. If, as I suspect, a @StateDept review of the international Nazi affiliates shows criminal conduct satisfying the above elements, then IMO they can be listed as engaged in international terrorism along with all US Nazi ideology adherents. ✔️
7. If we treat Christians like Moslems that is required under our Constitution, it is obvious that the Nazis can be listed as engaged in International Terrorism. That would give the intelligence community the ability to target them like like we target ISIS and Al-Qaeda who
8. combined have killed far-fewer Americans than the Nazis who, based on our recent proven history, pose a real and present danger to the survival of the Republic. I presume the listing could be done in such a way to give the US members 30 days to fully disassociate from
9. the nominated FTO. After that period they should be subject to the listing and all the things that come with it. We should not fight world wars to then allow the enemy to retrench on our soil. The sacrifice of 100s of thousands of Americans and millions of other victims
10. deserve our vigilance and commitment to the pledge, #NeverAgain.
