Portland Police
Antifa radicals have been attacking law enforcement for over 45 days in Portland, concentrating in the last couple of weeks on the federal courthouse, as we have reported.
This hasnt been a protest, its been a war, with multiple police officers including federal officers injured. On Friday night, they hit a federal officer in the head because he refused to let them into the building to burn it down. He was trying to shut the door to the building, they were trying to stop him and someone whacked him with a hammer.
Then on Saturday, it appeared that federal officers may have hit one of the radicals in the head with a less than lethal munition.
Heres a sample of some of the peaceful protest.
These are the fireworks antifa are using to attack police & the public in Portland. Last night one of their own comrades was injured by their explosive outside the federal courthouse. They rioted for hours and started a fire inside the courthouse. pic.twitter.com/TO1TAoRPsN

This is the aftermath of more than 30 days of antifa rioting in Portland. There are no signs it is slowing. Last night they targeted the federal courthouse, smashing windows & setting fire. The area is trashed w/debris from glass bottles & fireworks used as weapons against police pic.twitter.com/UYGe3DgbVd

The public is fed up with the leftists, even liberal citizens. But what has been the response of the local Democrats in control? Oregon Governor Kate Brown, U.S. Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, along with U.S. representatives Earl Blumenauer and Suzanne Bonamici all blamed the federal response and President Donald Trump for the escalation in violence. That takes some nerve, when in fact, its been radical extremists attacking the federal building for weeks and its the feds who should be demanding recompense from the state and the city for the failure to properly protect the building.
The federal officers have every right to defend the federal courthouse from attack but the liberal folks in Portland were more interested in trying to use it to attack Trump then really dealing with the problem.
So what did all that ridiculous pandering do?
It encouraged the radicals to set up another autonomous zone in the park in Lownsdale Square, across from the federal courthouse. They began setting up tents last night, the same area Occupy Portland used in 2011.
From Fox News:
An unofficial Twitter page attributed to a group of anti-capitalist, anti-fascist teens who call themselves the Pacific Northwest Youth Liberation Front said protesters want to establish the Chinook Land Autonomous Territory, or CLAT, in downtown Portland. The Chinook people include several indigenous groups native to the Pacific Northwest.
People are needed here ALL night long, especially in the early morning! Get on over rn! Bring some tents, the Twitter page said, sharing an image of a barricade that read ACAB, an acronym meaning All Cops Are Bastards, and Black Trans Lives Matter.
They barricaded the area using industrial kitchen appliances, road blockades, and flashing traffic signs and also set several fires. They claim to be fighting for total liberation not seeming to understand what country they live in and that everyone already is free. They describe themselves as a Decentralized network of autonomous youth collectives dedicated to direct action toward total liberation.
Prepare for CHAZ, part 2.

This is the group seemingly largely behind these actions.

But progressive mayor Ted Wheeler is worse than Seattles Mayor Jenny Durkan ever was, if you can believe it. Hes allowed Antifa violence for years and they basically have had the run of the city long before the recent riots and violence.
What was the progressive mayor Ted Wheelers response to all this?
The best thing they can do is stay inside their building, or leave Portland altogether. Our goal is to end these violent demonstrations quickly and safely. And in the meantime, I asked him to clean up the graffiti on local federal facilities.
Mayor Ted Wheeler (@tedwheeler) July 14, 2020
Unreal. Hes literally blaming the feds for the graffiti the radicals have sprayed on the building everyday. Its maddening that there are such people in power, destroying what at one point was a beautiful city. You wonder how you get a city like Portland which is a descent into the maelstrom. This is why.
The federal government should send the bill to him.
...right in respect to their competition the communists...

NATIONAL socialism vs. INTERNATIONAL socialism.
Obviously you didn’t read my post. Try your thinking and comprehension skills with a little old-fashioned research. It will help you understand the difference at the time of our founders between the over 1000 of years of despot feudal/autocratic ‘conservative-right’ European governance vs the beginning roots of our colonial western spectrum of governance(Euro classic-liberal/libertarian). Even the tried democracies of self-rule governance by the Roman empire and Greece were considered ‘left’ or liberal in political academia and the body-politic of Europe. Our founders rejected democracies for their inherent mob-rule self-destruction. Our 1700’s founders were indeed more left of European democracy, and more libertarian(farther left) as classic Euro-liberals (advocating even less government).
Indeed the early socialist/Fabian/Marx ideologues of 19 century Europe were considered politically ‘left’ in American academia when placed on the western political spectrum... but were very much placed to the ‘right’ on the European spectrum.
In reality, the correct position the historic 1000+ years of classic Euro-right governance occupies a far-left placement within the modern ‘Western’ political spectrum/model of despotic governing.
Western academia and the socialist ideologues of Europe merged the 2 political plectrums using the western spectrum as the standard reference in where both European & western political governance were scaled from. That is how the European ‘right’ overlaid the western right. It was deliberately done by academia to conflate Western-right’ as being equal to Euro-right so socialist academia can align conservatives/republicans as Hitler-fascist tyrants!
Do you understand now?? Western placement of political governance(scaling) is reversed from the European model!
And no... at the time of Hitler and Nazis, socialism/fascism was considered European ‘right-wing’ on their political spectrum. The more right, the more despotic/fascist and more government.
Western spectrum is the exact reverse... the more left, the more despotic/fascist and more government.
The political spectrum of Western governance began with the pinning of ‘Euro-classic liberal left’ ideals of our founders, which scaled from the right. Political ‘Right’ historically ALWAYS meant... roots, origin, original, source or establish, founding, conservative.
European political ideals/governance for over 1000 years were rooted/established in a source by despotic regimes of autocracy, monarchy and the rule of tyrants. Communism, socialism, fascism. Nazis... were all derived from the ideals of totalitarian/authoritarian governance by oligarchs... ‘Right-wing’ European.
European/Western academia along with the Marxist globalists HAVE BEEN deliberately changing/conflating the separate governing histories of the Euro/Western political-spectrum models to indoctrinate our children into believing conservatism means fascism. This is what has happened in the past 100 years. Western modern conservatism has been aligned with European ‘classic’ conservatism(pre-1900’s). They are POLAR OPPOSITES!
You fail to understand the history of the Socialist movement, and why one part calls another right-wing or left-wing.
You make up your own esoteric model at complete variance with actual history - maybe you are too young to have lived it but many of us did.
Save your reply, please; I’m not interested in debating your wordy posts.
