Our Investigation and Confidential Documents Show: How Under Secretary Rogers First Declared Germany, Then Half of Europe, the Enemy

There is one contradiction that explains this entire project, and you can find it in the comment section of a single account. For months, openly neo-Nazi circles have been applauding beneath the posts of an American under secretary. Nobody deletes the comments, nobody puts them into context, nobody rejects them. Meanwhile, the same government whose voice speaks through that account has designated a loose movement known as Antifa a terrorist organization. One fringe is free to celebrate, while the other is declared an enemy of the state. Once you understand that distinction, you understand what Washington offered European governments this week as a common cause.

The woman at the center of it is Sarah B. Rogers, who serves as Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy at the U.S. Department of State. She is responsible for the government's international communications, its strategic outreach abroad, and the presentation of American positions to foreign societies. What appears through her official channels is not a private opinion. It is government speech. It is, wrapped in the appearance of authority, the voice of the United States itself.

Our investigation documented the tone of that voice back in January. Germany does not appear in her publications as an ally, but as a country held up as an example of moral collapse. According to her own words, Angela Merkel imported barbaric gangs of rapists, and Germany continues to suppress the opposition that points this out. That wording was not invented by critics. It came directly from her official account, adopting language that has circulated for years in far-right circles. In another post she refers to Jewish NGO networks supposedly steering political decisions according to hidden interests. The structure of that insinuation is painfully familiar from the darkest chapters of history. It serves no purpose other than assigning collective blame. The fact that it is spread through the official account of a senior government official moves it from the fringe straight into the center.

Text above: **“Germany is well known to have very few Jews, but under Merkel imported barbaric rape hordes (as an American I am allowed to call them that). To this day Germany suppresses political opposition that points this out.

You will say this is due to ‘Jewish’ NGO tentacles or complain that Hitler (who destroyed his country) has been treated too harshly by history. You will say this because you are stupid scum who would rather spread conspiracy theories than assign Germans (or anyone else) responsibility for the future of their countries.”** (January 15, 2026)

Text below: “In the wake of the Cologne assaults, a German legislator faced official sanctions and was threatened with prison because he had tweeted the phrase ‘barbaric, gang-raping Muslim hordes.’ Germany then swiftly passed another ‘hate speech’ law directed at social media.” (January 15, 2026)

Even then, one thing stood out. Individual violent crimes, presented together with religious or ethnic labels, were used as proof that the entire German state had failed. The context was missing. The sources were questionable. The sweeping conclusions were intentional. Germany was portrayed as a society that had abandoned its own moral foundation, as though it had already fallen. The aggressive language was aimed almost exclusively at Germany, while other allies escaped similar treatment. This was not a passing outburst. It was a deliberate choice, made with full awareness of its consequences. Berlin offered no visible response. No rejection. No official clarification. That silence spoke volumes.

On July 16, Secretary of State Marco Rubio opened a summit at the Harry S. Truman Building attended by representatives from more than 60 nations, the Ministerial on the Resurgence of Political Terrorism, which we have already reported on. Rogers promoted the event within the Department through a memorandum bearing her signature. According to the document, the summit marked an important first step in addressing the worldwide rise of political violence, including far-left terrorism.

What the State Department circulated internally and what Rogers promoted inside the Department is the exact same sentence. Her name appears beneath both.

The internal diplomatic memorandum signed by Sarah Rogers, Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy at the U.S. Department of State. In it, she announces that Secretary of State Marco Rubio will host representatives from more than 60 countries in Washington on July 16. The stated goal is to take a first international step against the growing wave of political violence worldwide, explicitly including "far-left terrorism." The wording shows the political emphasis with which the U.S. government internally announced and justified the meeting.

Here, political terrorism refers neither to al-Qaeda nor to the so-called Islamic State. It refers to domestic political opposition, both inside the United States and beyond its borders. The expression dates back to the Richard Nixon administration and to the darkest years of the Vietnam War, when the FBI, under the program known as COINTELPRO, infiltrated, monitored, and sought to dismantle left-wing organizations ranging from the civil rights movement to the Black Panthers. The only official definition of what the term actually means can be found in a CIA report dated June 12, 1970, declassified only in 2017. Political terrorism, the report states, is symbolic action carried out by those who possess no power. It explicitly distinguishes such conduct from state terrorism, which disguises itself as law enforcement. Read that sentence twice. A CIA document written in 1970 describes, with unintended precision, what the State Department is doing 56 years later.

Ein internes Schreiben des US-Außenministeriums vom 13. Juli 2026. Darin wird angekündigt, dass am 16. Juli im Harry S. Truman Building in Washington das Ministertreffen „Ministerial on the Resurgence of Political Terrorism“ stattfindet. Das Schreiben regelt umfangreiche Sicherheitsmaßnahmen, gesperrte Gebäudebereiche und geänderte Zugänge für Mitarbeiter und Besucher. Bemerkenswert ist vor allem der offizielle Titel der Veranstaltung: Die US-Regierung spricht intern ausdrücklich von einem „Wiedererstarken des politischen Terrorismus“ und macht das Thema zur Grundlage eines internationalen Ministertreffens.

Voltaire called fanaticism the plague that infects a state once it decides it needs an internal enemy, adding that reason may contain the disease but can never fully cure it. That is precisely the kind of enemy now being created. Several government instruments have been brought together under one roof: National Security Presidential Directive No. 7, which instructs the State Department, Treasury Department, and Justice Department to prioritize investigations into left-wing violence, along with the designation of nihilistic extremism and the order directed against Antifa. Throughout the Department's own documents, this umbrella carries a three-letter abbreviation: FLT, meaning Far-Left Terrorism. An acronym for an invented threat that could one day haunt a politician's legacy much the way Iraq's nonexistent weapons of mass destruction continue haunting history more than two decades later.

The definition is broad enough to reach almost anyone. The new visa policy introduced at the summit does not apply only to violence against people. It also targets economic sabotage, including damage to public or private property, wording broad enough to cover both a shattered storefront window and a consumer boycott. Anyone who supports, finances, or provides logistical assistance for such actions may be denied entry into the United States. According to the State Department's own language, officials are observing increasing cooperation between far-left and anarchist networks and other violent actors, including antisemitic and pro-Iranian groups, as well as anti-technology and eco-terrorist movements. In 2024, the European Union recorded 21 far-left and anarchist attacks, almost as many as jihadist attacks. That number comes from the very same institution that first invents the term it then claims the statistics prove.

At this point, the contradiction from the beginning returns in full force. The enemy Washington has declared is the political left, extending all the way to someone who throws a rock through a store window. Yet the fringe that openly applauds beneath Rogers' posts, leaving comments claiming Jews deliberately destabilized Germany, appears on no terrorist list whatsoever. Antifa is labeled a terrorist organization. The neo-Nazi is simply another commenter. Anyone who wants to know what political terrorism originally meant under the CIA's own definition, symbolic action designed to intimidate political opponents, no longer needs to search left-wing student chat groups. They can find it in the language of a government office.

Text above: “This may be a clumsy attempt to avoid the conditions observed in Europe and the United Kingdom, where citizens go to prison for quoting the Bible or even for silent prayer. But the problem with ‘hate speech’ laws – one of many – is that they are enforced by the very people who coddle actual violent fanatics as long as they appear subordinate.” (January 13, 2026)

Text below: “Countries have long banned and restricted visas on opaque, arbitrary ideological grounds. Lauren Southern was banned from the United Kingdom around 2018 because she mocked Allah as ‘gay’ and ‘trans.’ Media and commentators who were silent on or endorsed those decisions now accuse the Trump administration of its policies.” (January 14, 2026)

How manufactured this enemy really is becomes clear in the very case that triggered the entire obsession. The murder of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, a friend of the President, was immediately described as an act of far-left terrorism. The alleged shooter, Tyler Robinson, a 23-year-old raised in a Mormon family, was, according to everything known so far, neither left-wing nor politically active at all. His partner, Lance Twiggs, who has been cooperating with federal prosecutors, testified under oath last week that Robinson rarely discussed politics and had never once mentioned Charlie Kirk before the shooting. Earlier, FBI Director Kash Patel had suggested to Congress that an organized extremist cell and even possible foreign connections were under investigation. That theory collapsed almost as quickly as it had been presented. What remained was a young man with a gun, angry over statements Kirk had made about LGBTQ people. From that death, the crime remains completely inexcusable, the administration constructed a global conspiracy and invited 60 governments to help fight it.

At the head of the Counterterrorism Bureau sits Tera Dahl, a former Breitbart writer who praised Egyptian strongman Abdel Fattah el-Sisi as a democrat while he was imprisoning his critics. Her career began under a member of Congress who claimed in 2012 that the Muslim Brotherhood had infiltrated the U.S. government, an accusation so baseless that Republican Senator John McCain took to the Senate floor to publicly rebuke someone from his own party. It is a personnel choice seemingly designed to bring an old lesson back to life.

The 1970 CIA report contains one sentence that hangs over everything like a curse. Terrorism, it says, can challenge free societies where profound social injustice exists, but it struggles to take root where widespread grievances do not. Fortunately for this administration, Americans are now apparently expected to believe that no such injustices exist anymore. It is beneath that assumption that Sarah B. Rogers has placed her name, first over Germany in January, and now over half of Europe in July.

Europe has remained silent about all of this, and the word ignorance is misleading. Germany's Interior Ministry was represented at this summit. It sat in the room while an alliance was built that labels political opposition as terrorism and threatens to deny entry even to people accused of throwing a rock through a window or calling for a boycott. A witness who simply watches becomes a participant. What followed from Berlin therefore deserves a different name than failure. It was a choice. Whenever disinformation comes from Moscow or Beijing, these same institutions respond within hours. This time, they said nothing.

The price is paid somewhere else. On both sides of the Atlantic, people increasingly fall under suspicion without any evidence ever being required, because the accusation itself already contains the verdict. Journalists who ask questions find themselves attacked precisely where they should expect protection. Montesquieu wrote that fear is the defining principle of a despotic state, and that such a state must create an enemy once fear begins to fade. That is exactly what is happening. A continent that proudly lectures the world about fundamental rights now watches in silence as those same rights quietly become narrower at home. Much of the press treats it as a side issue. That is how it voluntarily places the gag over its own mouth. A right that no one is willing to defend eventually stops being a right at all. It becomes nothing more than a reminder that it once existed.

We received no response to our inquiries. The silence from Berlin continues. Perhaps the silence itself is already an answer.

To be continued ...
