Over the past few weeks a number of things have been revealed about Antifa groups, people that use fascist methods to suppress any opinion or speech that does not conform to their own ideology, yet call themselves “anti-fascist.”
After the tragic events in Charlottesville, VA, Antifa massively overplayed their hand in a subsequent event in Berkeley California, where viral images finally exposed what the MSM had been trying to hide, that so-called Antifa groups were inciting violence with planned events, then dressing up in black, with masks, carrying sticks, clubs and mace, and proceeded to instigate violence against peaceful rally attendees.
Some think those viral images made it impossible for the terrorist supporting mainstream media to cover for them any longer. Not only did the headlines start blaring out how violent these groups were, but even Democratic politicians like Nancy Pelosi started calling out Antifa by name while calling for their arrest and prosecution.
Others might question the timing of the MSM and Pelosi finally acknowledging Antifa’s violent antics, since Independent Media, using images and video proof, had been showing Antifa’s terrorist activities for over 18 months. The MSM’s finally reporting the truth of Antifa violence and thuggery came directly before a Politico report exposed the fact that the FBI and Department of Homeland Security had formally classified Antifa’s activities as “domestic terrorist violence,” in a a confidential 2016 joint intelligence assessment by DHS and the FBI.
So, Democratic politicians and liberal MSM outlets, who had been justifying, excusing and inciting Antifa groups for years, saw that the public was going to be made aware that the government had classified Antifa activity, since at least 2016, as terrorist activity, and all of a sudden one violent protest out of dozens that have occurred over the past years, suddenly woke them up?
Or were they simply scared that the general populace was going to finally see them all as terrorists supporters, so they bailed to save their own skin?
You decide.
THE TIDE TURNED AGAINST ANTIFA AND NOW THEY ARE CLAIMING ‘VICTIMHOOD’
Ever since President Trump called Antifa out by name, and the MSM finally deigned to report on their violence and liberal politicians jumped ship, now Antifa groups, such as Refuse Fascism, are claiming victimhood, calling it all “shameful, dangerous, wrong attacks on Antifa.”
In their first paragraph they highlight the FBI, DHS report, President Trump calling them out, Pelosis words and the mayor of Berkeley wanting to classify Antifa as a gang, and they claim “In reality, Antifa and others played a courageous role in defending people against the brutal violence threatened and inflicted by fascists.”
Really?
Well, here is video proof, made before their latest antics in Portland which led to multiple Antifa members being arrested, of 18 months of their so-called “defending people against brutal violence.”

I thought “Occupy” and Code Pink would be back as soon as Trump was inaugurated, but it seems that the mainstream media and popular culture has sidelined them, leaving space for only the far more radical antifa idiots who simply moved from World Bank protests to anti-Trump.
It’s actually good news, because 1) by normalizing their hate the MSM and popular culture Left have isolated themselves while at the same time marginalizing their extremes by having co-opted them; and 2) those same and their representatives in the Democrat party are now squeezed by their own extreme and its obvious conclusion in Antifa, which they’re having to run away from now.

Nazism is fascism plus racism and eugenics. When drafting their racial legislation, the Nazis actually studied American Jim Crow laws on segregation and miscegenation. And on eugenics, they drew inspiration from Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger.
Fascism and communism are close cousins. But the two brands of socialism had a falling out over Hitler's drang nach Osten in search of Lebensraum. The Nazis' plan was to enslave the inferior Slavic peoples and colonize the East with the German master race. Hitler lost. The Soviet version of fascism survived amidst the Allied victory. Naturally, the surviving fascist wing needed to disassociate itself from the thoroughly discredited Nazi wing. So, they put out the Big Lie of D'Souza's book.
The big lie is that fascism is right-wing, that the GOP is the party of racism. The reality is, the Right wants to preserve the values of the Founders, whereas the Left wants to destroy America as founded and replace it with a fascist dictatorship. Historically, the Democrat Party was the party of slavery, racism, and the KKK.
Naturally today's Left needs to cover up its vile history. But the truth is, both sides in the Charlottesville riot are fascist.
The book is easy reading. D'Souza writes like he talks, only with footnotes. Devastating footnotes!
