Lefties at The Nation discover that (non-FBI) feds have been tracing the puppet masters behind Antifa and BLM

Is an unexpected October Surprise on the way?

They think it's a bad thing, but I give The Nation credit for reportorial digging. The hard-left magazine has discovered that federal law enforcement agencies (though not the FBI) have been tracing whom the mobs in Portland have been communicating with. The apparent lead role in utilizing hi tech and classified electronic means is being played by the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A), while the U.S. Marshals Service is dispatching street-level personnel. This bypasses the FBI, whose director, Christopher Wray, is on the record in sworn testimony, dismissing any such superstructure:

"It's not a group or an organization. It's a movement or an ideology," he said, explaining that "folks who subscribe or identify" with antifa do not operate at a national level, but instead organize "regionally into small groups or nodes."

SNIP

Cell phone cloning involves stealing a phone's unique identifiers and copying them to another device in order to intercept the communications received by the original device. The former intelligence officials described it as part of a "Low Level Voice Intercept" operation, declining to go into further detail — one of them citing the sensitive nature of the surveillance tool and the other an ongoing leak investigation within I&A.

“It’s not a group or an organization. It’s a movement or an ideology,” he said, explaining that “folks who subscribe or identify” with antifa do not operate at a national level, but instead organize “regionally into small groups or nodes.”

You call them nodes. Communists call them cells.

Right. We got Osama by tailing his video tape courier. So now just follow the Uhaul truck driver. It didn’t load up and drive itself somewhere to stage for a spontaneous mostly peaceful protest.

Antifa stings....Craigslist ads of promises of $50 an hour to join up, gear and travel expenses provided.
Why has it not been done, too many Antifa loyalists?

Follow the money; follow the truck’s paper work. Follow the supplies inside it.

“..antifa do not operate at a national level, but instead organize “regionally into small groups or nodes.”

That is EXACTLY how ISIS operated. Small untraceable groups with multiple little heads instead of one large head in charge.

Wow.

They absolutely are terrorists and need to be imprisoned and punished as such.

What is taking so long. Americans are tired and angry as seeing our country being destroyed and financially crippled from within by people who hate us.

Building a huge, gigantic Federal Government with hundreds of tentacles is finally going to come back and bite the Left in the ass, it seems.

You think you’ve compromised the FBI? Fine. Trump will just go around them and use another agency.

It goes back to Mueller and his centralization of the FBI in Washington. No FBI career can advance into higher management without passing through Washington for close political scrutiny.

Investigating in and of itself has become a cottage industry. Self perpetuating and enriching those involved. Prosecuting, not so much.

Robert Heinlein’s “The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress” is the perfect handbook for this.

Tucker on his show last night mentioned two people, a female attorney and a financial guy that are heads of a firm that rented the uhaul for the rioter in Louisville. Sorry, I don’t have their names but it was interesting.

Think the “exposure” of this rented UHaul may be one of the main “threads” which are about to be pulled as the DEMONratic plot to overthrow our REPUBLIC is “unravelled”.

NSA has all of it recorded, but with all the wuss laws made by crybabies and snowflakes much is unusable. Back in the 60s all of it would have been used to stop block their communications and arrest all those concerned, especially those at the top of the food chain.

Wrey the Worm, is on their side aiding the BLM and Antifa communist movements

Couldn’t be that clueless. I think they want bad folks to keep doing what they are doing in order to trace everything back go the money changers and sponsors. I could be pollyannish though.

A couple days ago Trump talked about bringing criminal charges against Portland(D) mayor Ted Wheeler for failure to do his job.

Interesting timing.

But the FBI fails on purpose by shrugging and saying there is no organization.


There is a decades long established network of well financed and radical Democrat NGOs. And not just Soros. Wray won’t touch the subject because the trail leads directly to Dem HQ and validates everything POTUS has been saying.

Is there a difference?

Isis destruction in Syria

Al-sha-bob terroists in Yemen

Anti-fah/Blm in US

BLm in US

60 years ago, J. Edgar Hoover denied the existence of the Mafia. It is likely the Mafia knew of his homosexual relationship with Clyde Tolson, and used that as leverage. Today, Christopher Wray denies the existence of organized and funded sources for BLM and Antifa operations. Is Wray compromised as his predecessor was?
