Woke Journalists Compare Antifa Riots to D-Day Landings

Biggest antifa rally in history. https://t.co/ypa46PvYx1

Mara Liasson compares Antifa to American troops storming Normandy where huge numbers of them were killed..

Antifa is explicitly a violent marxist terrorist group. They don't hide this. It's in their literature & actions. The idea they're antifascists like the people who stormed beaches during d-day is an absolute farce. They r full blown communist radicals & so are their sympathizers.

Comment by Matt Taibbi:

In the relevant sequence, an Antifa-affiliated protester called Staab a kutta (a Hindi word meaning, “dog,” apparently) and “slut.” Then the masked protester demanded that press “get the fuck out” and stop filming, pointing in Staab’s face and making the following bizarre comment about a story we ran in July called “Colombia in Chaos”:

You fucking endanger people by flying to fucking Colombia and endangering everyone by opening them up to Covid!

Beyond the total incoherence of that comment generally, calling a woman a name like “slut” obviously flies in the face of what antifascist protesters generally claim to be their beliefs about things like misogyny. In any case, Staab then approached the protesters without her cameras out to try to talk things through, at which point they tossed paint at her, maced her, and threw her to the ground. Eventually, they also smashed both her iPhone and the lens for her digital camera. “Out!” they screamed. “How many fucking times do we have to tell you?”

The wrong way to handle Leftist terror

 A group of Christians in Portland Oregon decide to hold a prayer event in a waterfront park.

If you wondered what it looked like when Nazi brown shirts went after the churches in Germany, wonder no more: It probably looked like Portland on Saturday, when black bloc-outfitted antifa thugs burst into a waterfront prayer event featuring persecuted Canadian Pastor Artur Pawlowski. The terrorists sprayed those gathered, including toddlers, with chemicals and lobbed IEDs.

“Where is your God, now?” taunted one of the attackers.

It went about as expected.  the Christians, including women and young children, were routed.

At some point, it has to occur to Conservatives that they are not going to get support from politicized police departments or public officials.  

When is it going to occur to people on our side that setting yourself up as punching bags does nothing at this point?  We know that Antifa is an organized group of thugs who like to beat us up.  We know that the political authorities are objectively on their side.  We know that the news media support them, attacking us and covering up their violence.  Videos of Leftist violence, whether it's an Antifa attack or a BLM riot is no longer news, it's part of the background noise of America run by Democrats and the Uniparty Republicans.  

Frankly, seeing videos of Conservative Christians getting beaten by Antifa does not get my blood boiling.  It's dispiriting.  It's a lesson in doing it wrong.  Christians are often told to ask "What would Jesus do? (WWJD)?  

Here's a news flash: we are not Jesus.  Jesus had to die to fulfill his earthly mission.  His objective was to die on a cross on Calvary, in expiation for the sins of the world.  Because you're not Jesus, getting beaten even dying has no effect in wiping away mankind's sin.  And it certainly will not defeat Antifa.       

Here's something that will: people who are bigger, stronger and tougher than Antifa.  Antifa are bullies who have, up to now, been busy stealing your lunch money and giving you a black eye if you resisted, just like in school.  

They dress in black, wear masks, throw fireworks, deploy umbrellas and use bear spray.   These are not powerful weapons.  They only work against those who will not fight back: police after being told the "stand down" or those who think that getting their rout recorded on Twitter videos is winning.

Anyone can wear a mask; in fact, the Biden administration urging everyone to wear masks so our side should be masked.  Even better, wear a gas mask.  Umbrellas are easy to defeat; carry what pre-industrial armies held: spears. Long poles with sharp ends rip through umbrellas like they are not even there.  A flick of the wrist and the umbrella is gone.  Fireworks?  How about sparklers in close-up encounters?   Tactical vests will cushion lots of blows.  Antifa should be the ones calling for police protection, not Christians.  We are the good guys.  We need to act like it.

Game Show — Is This Like The Nazis?

Watch this epic fail caught on live television at a recording of America’s favorite game show “Is This Like The Nazis?!”

When Political Fire Means Failure

 Richard Fernandez (Wretchard) pens an interesting essay about the price the Left has paid to take over the country.

The costs of keeping the unwilling onside are even bigger. The American scene is also illuminated by fire of another kind: the incandescent efforts of those who want to return Washington to the 2016 normal over those determined to continue a revolution in the capital. But a political scene lit with the flames of burning personal bridges is less a sign of imminent triumph than with stalemate and retreat....

... the prospects of the liberal project to remake America have declined because an agenda that was once “inevitably” advancing must now be actively imposed on a conscious opposition. The burning of bridges in 2020 means it must now spend enormous amounts of energy for every inch it wants to gain.

The only chance to suppress the populist rebellion cheaply was through something like Crossfire Hurricane. But it failed and now the progressive project is facing what is at best a protracted campaign, a long slow slog that may prove too expensive for even them to mount.

If that enterprise seemed formerly viable it was because it could command enough assent through the application of nudges and prestige to make way. But those powers to persuade have been expended in the bitter acrimony. The prestige well is dry and friction has gone way up. 

The Left owns the press and social media, a combination that lulled a soothed the American public to accept the inevitability of the transformation of America to socialism.  That's where Obama's inevitable "arc of history" was supposed to lead.  

 But the excesses of the last 4 years have so damaged their power to define a reality that today roughly half of the American people don't believe anything they read.  They now know they have been lied to and have their opinions suppressed by power brokers and technology oligarchs who were grasping for total power.  

The Antifa/BLM  riots in Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, Kenosha, and dozens of places throughout the country were naked attempts to intimidate.  People stocking up on guns and ammunition in record numbers are but one reaction to this physical threat.  

It is possible for a minority to rule a passive majority.  It remains to be seen whether the majority has a core of rebels who will make it prohibitively expensive for the Left to cow the country to its will.  

The experiment in freedom for the individual continues.  

Antifa Is Not Fighting For Freedom, But For Communist Revolution

 Short for the German phrase, “Antifaschistische Aktion,” Antifa served as the paramilitary arm of the German Communist Party (KPD), which the Soviet Union funded. In other words, Antifa became the German Communists’ version of the Nazis’ brown-shirted SA.

And so is BLM.

Dems starting to panic that voters will blame them for riots

Despite the best efforts of the propaganda media (aka, MSM) to sanitize as “mostly peaceful” violent, property-destroying and federal agent-blinding demonstrations that have engulfed Portland, Seattle, and other cities, the American people are catching on that Antifa is the armed auxiliary street force of the Democrat party, just as the KKK was a century and more ago. 

While the Dems thought that their strategy of making conditions terrible so that voters would throw out the incumbent was sound, it turns out that the availability of dramatic footage of real violence on social media has put the lie to the media coverups.

Tucker Carlson, the highest rated host in cable news history, regularly calls the rioters “Biden voters,” and that is an easier sale to the public than Nadler’s fantasy [he called the riots a myth].

The Democrats, including the Biden campaign, are riding a tiger. If they attempt to dismount, they will be eaten by the tiger, as Libby Schaaf [Mayor of Oakland CA} discovered. ... the hysterically angry rioters, many of them white, college-educated women in their twenties, could turn on Biden as with ample ammunition from his past career befriending KKK Kleagle Robert Byrd and enriching his family with his political connections.

President Trump, to their dismay, has played the riots perfectly, with his administration expressing resolve but refraining from oversteps that would hand a Kent State-like massacre, complete with martyrs

Dems: The Antifa Party (This is not the first time Republican presidents have had to deal with terrorist-supporting Democrats. It probably won’t be the last.)

— “These soldiers are disregarding and overriding the elementary rights of American citizens by applying tactics which must have been copied from the manual issued the officers of Hitler’s storm troopers.”

— The president is substituting “military dictatorship for the Constitution of the United States.”

— “My fellow citizens, we are now an occupied territory.”

All this because, after 50 days of raging violence, President Trump has finally sent federal agents to restore order in Portland, Oregon.

No — wait. Different Democrats and different president.

Although all those quotes are indeed from Democrats about a Republican president, it wasn’t Trump. They were Democrats Richard Russell, George Wallace and Orval Faubus, denouncing President Dwight Eisenhower for sending troops to enforce desegregation at a schoolhouse in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Powerful: Protesters Spell Out 'Love' With Burning Homes And Businesses

MINNEAPOLIS, MN—In a powerful display of their care for love and justice, protesters in Minneapolis burned the word "LOVE" into the city, arranging the inspiring message with homes and businesses set ablaze by their riots.

Heartfelt and moving.

"We just really wanted to show how much we care about love and social justice by burning this community into a powerful reminder of what it's all about," said local protester Jake Hernandez, who had flown in from Portland for the event. "Now, when police and fire helicopters fly over to try to restore order, they'll be inspired by our message of love and harmony."

This is Antifa

Antifa are Fascists and they rule Portland

Mark Steyn writes in Portlantifa:

In Italia i fascisti si dividono in due categorie : i fascisti e gli antifascisti.

"In Italy the fascists are divided into two categories: the fascists and the anti-fascists." In America the division is a little more lop-sided: There is no organized fascist movement except for the so-called anti-fascist movement: Antifa wear uniforms and masks on the streets of American cities and perpetrate violence with the support and connivance of powerful Democrat politicians and their hideously politicized police departments.

The consent of the latter is especially important: in the Democrats' northern fiefdoms the cops increasingly behave as they did in the party's old southern fiefdoms - they're there not to keep the peace but to ensure that their buddies in the Klan - whoops, sorry, I mean Klantifa - get to give the designated "troublemakers" a bloody good hiding. Thus in Portland, Oregon the police stood by and let Antifa beat the crap out of reporter Andy Ngo, steal thousands of dollars' worth of his equipment, and put him in hospital with a brain hemorrhage. But that's just policing as usual in a corrupt municipality increasingly without the law. As Democrat Mayor and Police Commissioner Ted Wheeler put it last year, after his officers again sat back and watched as Antifa blocked streets and threatened and intimidated drivers:

I was appalled by what I saw in the video, but I support the Portland Police Bureau's decision not to intervene.

They're getting so good at "not intervening" it might be easier for the city simply to lay them off and contract out all "law enforcement" to Antifa.

Antifa is the Klan dressed in black and fascists like Ted Wheeler are the North's Bull Connor.

DRUDGE: "Antifa" keeps attacking journalists despite sympathy from national media

The MSM's ground troops - the Masked Black Shirts - do the work the press won't do by physical attacks on those who oppose the  Left.

Masked individuals at an Antifa rally Saturday violently attacked Portland journalist Andy Ngo, sending him to the hospital.

While some members of the national media — including CNN hosts Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo — have been sympathetic toward Antifa in the past, that hasn’t kept Antifa members from attacking the journalists actually covering them on the ground.

Meanwhile lots of Antifa sympathizers in the press claim that Andy Ngo is the one responsible for being attacked.   He brought it on himself. 

They're calling attacking people in the street an "information war."  No, jackass, that a real war, where people get wounded and killed.

Antifa rules Portland with the same impunity that the Ku Klux Klan ruled Birmingham in the 1960s

Journalist Andy Ngo after being beaten up by Antifa goons

Andy Ngo is a Portland-based journalist (for Quillette) who has made it his business to document the violence and insanity of Antifa in his city. Today they got him. They beat him up and stole his camera equipment.

One gets the impression that Antifa rules Portland with the same impunity that the Ku Klux Klan ruled Birmingham in the 1960s. Do they actually have police in Portland? Do they have functioning government there?

Let me answer that question.

The Democrats that ran Birmingham and the Democrats who run Portland approve and support violence against people they hate.  And they hate normal people.

Ted Wheeler is the mayor of Portland, a city where the violent far left gets to beat people up with impunity. He's a modern-day Bull Connor.

O'Keefe Catches Antifa 'Fight Instructors' Teaching Activists How To Inflict Pain on Their Targets

File this under "things that you won't see if you get your news from CNN, NBC, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NY Times or Washington Post. In fact, if your see Antifa thugs hurting people or trying to kill people (as in the case of James Hodgkinson, the BernieBro who tried to kill Steve Scalise) it will be blamed on Trump if it's reported at all.

"If you get a good liver or kidney shot, it's pretty much crippling them," the Antifa instructor said. "They're going to be pretty much doubled over and in a lot of pain."

The instructor also recommended breaking one of the floating ribs to cause maximum pain in a victim. "It's hard to move after that -- to catch a breath," he added helpfully. He told the activists that once the target is incapacitated, they can either run away or "really put a beating on them" if they want to "make it personal."

There's further footage of conspirators discussing financial support from Tom Steyer to pay for riots in the streets.

Democrats for fascism

Don Surber:

Barack Obama's refusal to lead his party to a peaceful transition of power a year ago has inspired an increasingly violent "resistance" both within and without the government. The best example is Sally Yates who refused a legal order as acting attorney general. That act of insubordination should disqualify her as a lawyer. But we no longer have a rule of law in this country. Witness Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin not being tried for their national security breaches.

Now Democratic Congressman Keith Ellison, the No. 2 man in the DNC, has embraced the Antifa fascists.

In so doing, he makes the Antifa black shirts the brownshirts of his party.

How alarming it is that the mainstream press has become a platform for these fascists.

Since electing Barack Obama president, Democrats have seen their party decimated nationally and at the state level.

Those remaining are bitter radicals. Ellison's embrace of violence is alarming. Americans rejected Obama's Marxism.Let's hope it rejects Ellison's Muslim Marxism -- especially as he has no problem promoting an increasingly violent movement.
