Personally, I think the most obvious place to study how the NSPM-7 driven repurposing of the counter terrorism police state apparatus towards suppressing antifascist political dissent, can be found in the Trumpenreich's still ongoing Gestapo occupation in Minneapolis. It gets much easier to understand the horrifying escalation of systemic brutality and violence (including the cold-blooded murder of two American citizens for the crime of "recording the Gestapo doing an ethnic cleansing operation") between what we saw in LA this past summer, and Operation "Metro Surge" in Minneapolis, once you understand the President himself has instructed the police state to treat opposition and dissent as pre-crime terrorism. Still, even beyond the military operations the Trump regime is conducting against us in our streets to continue a genocide-in-progress, news is leaking out on the margins that proves NSPM-7 has indeed created the anti-dissent COINTELPRO operation of the Swine Emperor and Stephen Miller's dreams.
Take for example the recent announcement by nonviolent climate activist group Extinction Rebellion, that they appear to be under investigation by the FBI under suspicion of "terrorism" that can literally only be explained if you choose to define "terrorism" as opposition to Trump and the Pork Reich's fascist agenda, the way NSPM-7 and Bondi's Justice Department memo discussed in the thread above do.

Nonviolent Climate Activist Group Says It’s Been Targeted by FBI ‘Terrorism’ Task Force
“I believe this to be a significant escalation of the criminal legal system against Extinction Rebellion and find it very troubling,” Ron Kuby, an attorney for Extinction Rebellion, said. “This is usually the way we find out an actual investigation is underway and is often followed by other visits and other actions.”
He said he found it strange that Extinction Rebellion would become the target of a terrorism investigation. Members of the group take part in acts of what they call “nonviolent civil disobedience” such as blocking roads, sit-ins at public buildings, and occasional vandalism.
The group has sought to use these tactics to draw attention to leaders’ inaction in fighting the climate crisis. Increasingly, they have launched protests against the Trump administration’s policies more broadly, including its deployment of federal immigration agents in cities across the country.
While its actions can be disruptive, Extinction Rebellion has always been nonviolent, Kuby said, and its tactics are at worst misdemeanor offenses, which typically wouldn’t interest federal law enforcement."
As this article goes on to note, this isn't the first time the Trump regime has employed the FBI to harass and intimidate Extinction Rebellion activists; this is a feature of both Trump's domestic policing policies, but also growing civil rights violations across much of the capitalist Pig Empire directed against climate and environmental activists who threaten capital by opposing the fossil fuel production and consumption that drives capitalism itself.
"Last year, six members of its sister group in Boston said the feds came to their doors, all on the same day in March, and questioned them without providing any business cards or explanation for their visit.
According to WBUR reporting at the time, none of the activists questioned had a history of participating in violent protests or of facing felony charges in federal or Massachusetts courts.
Jeff Feuer, a lawyer in Cambridge who has represented climate activists for more than three decades, told the outlet, “Until this year, I have never heard about the FBI or any other federal law enforcement officer visiting or questioning any of the hundreds of climate activists that I have personally represented.”
What tips us off that something has changed, and that change is NSPM-7, is the fact that the former Extinction Rebellion member was specifically visited by an agent from the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Forces - those would be the same JTTFs that Pam Bondi's Justice Department memo (order) directed to start cracking down on left wing "terrorism" as defined by her, Trump, and Stephen Miller. So, protesting against Trumpenreich fascism, filming Gestapo agents doing ethnic cleansing, or simply calling this fascist administration what it is - a bunch of unhinged nazi crook liars doing fascism.
Of course, we don't know why the JTTF fed contacted a former member of Extinction Rebellion, but given the orders the Trump regime has put down it writing we can surmise that there was nothing benign about the visit - perhaps they were looking to cultivate a snitch, as per Bondi's instructions? We may never know. What we do know is that Trump's FBI is investigating nonviolent climate protestors like they're Al-Qaeda; just like Stephen Miller promised they would after Charlie Kirk's murder.
