A Brief History of Antifa: Part I
The Gatestone Institute ^ | June 12, 2020 | Soeren Kern

Posted on 06/12/2020 10:42:12 AM PDT by yoe

Empirical and anecdotal evidence shows that Antifa is, in fact, highly networked, well-funded and has a global presence. It has a flat organizational structure with dozens and possibly hundreds of local groups.

Antifa's stated long-term objective, both in America and abroad, is to establish a communist world order. In the United States, Antifa's immediate aim is to bring about the demise of the Trump administration.

A common tactic used by Antifa in the United States and Europe is to employ extreme violence and destruction of public and private property to goad the police into a reaction, which then "proves" Antifa's claim that the government is "fascist."

[snip] Antifa holds the Marxist-Leninist definition of fascism which equates it with capitalism. "The fight against fascism is only won when the capitalist system has been shattered and a classless society has been achieved," according to the German Antifa group, Antifaschistischer Aufbau München.

ANTIFA was formed by the USSR to fight Hitler’s NAZIs for global domination.

This was very evident in the country of my heritage, Hungary, where the country went from NAZI control to USSR control with slaughters of NAZI supporters and imposition of communism until 1992.

The graphic suggests that “bitter rejected RINOs” and “Obama leftovers” are minor problems.

Antifa is the new Charles Manson and his Helter Skelter- plus the New western communism- all rolled into one- pitting race against race, starting a race war- to crumble the nation from within- then the communists roll in after all the horror is going on and in full swing, and take over-

The following is information from a resident of Coeur D’Alene, ID where the Antifa thugs showed up one night earlier this week. It was taken from a post I received, and I have copied the pertinent information so as to protect the names of the resident posters. Most of this info was provided by a protester who was interviewed by one of the residents who came out to protect the downtown area.

All signs for the protesters were provided when they arrived in town.

Protesters were recruited in Boise, 550 miles away. They were flown into Spokane, the closest airport. Eighty passengers per plane flown in on an hourly basis, about 300 in total.

Protesters were transported in Mercedes vans the 45 miles to Coeur D’Alene.

Protesters were paid $125 per day.

Two pallets of bricks were dropped off downtown on two side streets. Armed people sat on top of the bricks. The pallets full of bricks were removed at dawn the next day by an unknown party.

The armed residents outnumbered the Antifa thugs by 3 to 2. Hence no rioting. Most of the residents on patrol carried three weapons. There was no sign of police or sheriff deputies.

Relevant item from the article for the current Seattle uprising: “In 1999, Attac was present in Seattle during violent demonstrations that led to the failure of WTO negotiations.”

Then feds should have responded to ANTIFA after they burned buildings at UC to stop a conservative from speaking, a clear violation of civil rights. and a terrorist act.

The leaders and funders should have been imprisoned. members arrested if they continued.

But here we are waiting......................................

I wonder if the Mercedes and other goods and services were provided by the Idaho yogurt mogul up there... Chobani yogurt?

Hmm.

Hadn’t thought of that but it makes sense given that this started in Minnesota in an area heavily populated with the ideological brethren of the aforementioned yogurt slingers.
