Yep...why isnt Antifa and BLM likewise condemned for bringing weapons and violence?

Why do so many of the key characters, Kessler, the videographer, et al have political connections?

Antifa and blm should be designated terrorist organizations, investigated, and prosecuted . . . no SOBs who disrespect the First Amendment rights of Americans should escape punishment. Destroy the bastards

Apparently Jason is not proud of his work. He has scrubbed his personal web page.
But The WayBackMachine has it...

His twitter links still work though.

Those Nazi flags look so fresh and, shall we say, unused.

This all smells of a g-d damned setup by the deep state / soros

Gotta wonder who would go to a rally set up by him.

My purpose in pointing out that there are 115 Jason Kesslers is to say that I don’t think we have definitive proof that the organizer of this rally is the same as the CNN reporter. It would be awesome if we had that proof, but nothing I saw shows that we do.

A definitive link between the CNN reporter and the rally would be excellent to find; it would certainly bolster evidence for the suspicion that this was a false flag operation designed to discredit conservatives. And the left is known for planting false flags all the time.

The thing that is suspicious about his LinkedIn profile is how short it is. He says he graduated in 2009, yet his first job reference is several years later. Is there something in his history he doesn’t want to put there?

Apparently Kessler stated as much in an interview.

The organizers were in good faith. It looks like a trap set (probably in revenge for their defeat in courts) by the politicians, including Black Panther anti-White Wes Bellamy.

Unite the right was promised protection and made plans with the police for the running of the rally. On the day the police did not provide protection and let antifa (known for violence) run wild. They forced attendees to run a gauntlet of anifa animals (who threw urine and feces along with rocks, batteries and other things). Antifa had clubs and sticks (why were people with such weapons allowed in the rally area?). The police did nothing to help victims of antifa violence.

They made it difficult for organizers to move in equipment and bring in speakers, changing the agreed upon locations for this access. They blocked access to the PA equipment before (but likely in preparation for) the emergency order.

The declaration of a state of emergency was called around 11am, long before any real activity and certainly way before the car incident. This order was typed up and ready to go and likely was prepared much earlier (probably after their loss in court).

On the order to disband the police again forced attendees through the gauntlet of antifa. They sent in riot police to the rally area while still letting antifa roam free.

Simple organization of the police (as worked in places like Pikeville, where many of the same factions met before) keeping the factions separate and allowing safe paths of entry and exit would have allowed the rally go off peacefully.

What frightened the authorities was the idea of one thousand Whites peacefully (if a little loud) gathered to hear various speakers. All of those speakers wanted to speak, not take part in a street brawl.

In May, many of the same people, numbering around 200, met in the same place. That event was entirely peaceful. The difference was it was unplanned and thus had no antifa and no polic ‘help.’ They have had few events in DC, again peaceful.

The problem is the vicious and anti-White antifa. No antifa, no problem.

The problems at this rally were because the authorities wanted it that way, they planned it that way (probably with the media who were ready to report it), they made sure it happened that way.

Not a false flag just that the power structure (which includes many Republicans) was working against White people asserting any identity. Black lives matter does not threaten or frighten this system, organized White people do.

If there is a false flag element it is that antifa (whether they know are not) are part of that system. They create trouble which means people are disinclined to go to rallies, and the trouble antifa cause is a pretext to shut them down.

The Trump supporters who have been attacked at various rallies are not false flaggers, neither were unite the Right. However they system hates and fears both equally.

Do you have a link?

I’ll always give the benefit of the doubt (innocent until proven guilty). But if I know for certain, then I feel comfortable condemning him.

There is another thing suspicious about his LinkedIn profile. It is not found on the WayBack search engine. To check, I looked for another, different Jason Kessler from Indiana on WayBack, and it was found. This seems to be a very recent profile.

Yes, I agree. I should not have stated it as if were a fact. However, when you consider details such as his being a freelance journalist whose work appeared in prominent liberal publications such as the Washington Post, an (at least one-time) Obama supporter, and his having an association with the Occupy Wall Street movement, it does narrow the field an awful lot. Maybe the mods can modify the title?

I asked on this thread if it was the same guy.

Jason Kessler admit this himself when Alex Jones asked him directly today on his show.

You should tell that to Jason Kessler who organized the rally for Unite the Right. He proudly displays KKK hashtags on his home page and twitter pages.

Is it the same Jason Kessler? I would imagine “Jason Kessler” is not that uncommon a name.

Because New York Liberal Democrats more or less control broadcast news in this Country.
