Antifa is arming
American Thinker ^ | Peter Skurkiss

Posted on 08/05/2019 2:24:01 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

The incessant hate campaign against President Donald Trump and his supporters by the media and the Democratic Party is pushing the left's Trump Derangement Syndrome into the danger zone. The current issue of the New Republic, a premier publication of liberalism, has an article titled "Antifa Is Arming Itself Aganist a Trump Crackdown."

Left-wing radicals are overwrought about transgressions they imagine the president and his supporters might commit. As a result,

…many leftists and even some liberals are beginning to reconsider their feelings about firearms, joining a loose amalgamation of gun groups, from John Brown Gun Clubs (which take their name from the abolitionist) to the Pink Pistols (a LGBTQ group), Liberal Gun Club, and Socialist Rifle Association.

*skip*

A certain irony surrounds all these Antifa gun groups. Every one of them purports to be for minorities yet their membership is overwhelming white males. Hmmm.

President Trump is said to be considering labeling Antifa as a terrorist group. He should do so.

These groups are convinced they are fighting an evil as vile as Nazism. The means justifies the end

I wonder if this changing attitude toward guns by the Left helps explain Neil DeGrasse Tyson's tweet about El Paso.

They are abolitionists, like John Brown.

This has been happening for some time now. I'm glad to see that others are beginning to take note. The Commies are not going to go away, quietly and people need to be ready for what is coming. And make no mistake, it's coming.

Antifa is a terrorist group so no surprise that they might be arming themselves. Padlocks in socks are too limited a weapon. So far they haven’t opted for bombings like other terrorist groups in the past. Won’t be surprised when they add that to their actions.

PDJT should have named them terrorists yesterday. Not sure why taking so long.

That’s why I’m not ready to dismiss this witness just yet:

It’s not surprising the left aka Antifa considers the right to be Nazis and violence in the face of Nazis is acceptable....

Literally everything the left disagrees with come back to being labeled ....Racist, Bigoted, or Nazi....

If all you are being told is everyone on the right is a Nazi Bigot, eventually you begin to believe that....so the use of violence is then justified....

These photos show they are already armed
Here’s a damm good reason why this group should be seriously looked at and it comes from a comment section in Free Republic who posted this photo essay

Let there be no doubt about the Oregon bomber and his connection with Antifa

Liberals don’t see this as a problem.

The abolitionists were passive resisters who aided runaway slaves to freedom, employment & self sufficiency.

John Brown dissed the abolitionists’ passive resistance & peacenik ways, preferring what we call today direct action, aka terrorism.

His assault on Harper’s Ferry was intended to incite a bloody race war.
The JBGC has the same goal.

A watering of the Tree of Liberty may be close at hand.

AntiFa , Black Lives Matter, Anti Redneck and many other groups have 2nd amendment rights. But the problem is that they are essentially Liberal Fascist Cannon Fodder (LFCF).

It won’t be Kamala Harris, AOC or Maxine Watters pulling triggers against Republican and other Trump supporters in order to surpress the Republican vote in 2020.It will be these thugs who are partly the fruition of the Obama liberal fascist movement, well described here:

“Barack Obama: The Quintessential Liberal Fascist”

http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2009/05/barack_obama_the_quintessentia_1.html

President Trump should act to declare Anti Fa a domestic terror group as a part of his initiative to prevent mass shootings.He should do it now while he still can.

Call me a Nazi and “racist!” enough and I just may start to understand why “one day for no reason at all...”

Why hasn’t Antifa been declared a terrorist organization?

The Right might have people who are more skilled at violence.

The Left has more people who are WILLING to engage in violence. And if the willingness is there, the skill can be taught quickly, as any boot camp NCO is aware. We should NOT get complacent with our mutterings about how many guns we have.

Wait until they see how well armed we are and have been since 1776.

Antifa got its start as a rival gang to the National Socialists (Nazis) in 1930s Germany. They were competing for the same followers and using similar tactics. Their goals were always very similar to those of the Nazis.

One difference is that Nazis had a leader who made the Nazis a viable political force. I'm certain Antifa is looking for their leader, potentially among the current DemocRAT line up, some of whom have openly espoused violence.

We live in dangerous times.
