Antifa protester among those who lost job in Elon Musk’s massive Twitter layoffs—-(or why I think a renewal of violence is possible in the next few weeks)
New York Post ^ | 11/5/2022 | Reilly

Jack Dorsey source: ‘Everyone at Twitter hates him now’ White House may have violated law by deleting fact-checked tweet: watchdog One of the thousands of Twitter employees laid off by new CEO Elon Musk is an alleged Antifa protester, according to a report.

Eric Shamow, a site reliability engineering manager who attended BLM protests in Oregon in 2020, was among those the company let go, The Post Millennial reported.

Shamow was among the rioters who took over downtown Portland and clashed with police during violent protests after the death of George Floyd, Andy Ngo, The Post Millenial’s editor-at-large, claimed in a tweet.

“We carry shields because you brutalize civilians and commit war crimes on our streets,” Shamow allegedly tweeted from his private account at the Portland Police Bureau in July 2020, according to screenshots shared by Ngo.

“The cops are not showing restraint on a nightly basis. I’m not down there tonight, but I’ve watched them brutalize folks on a regular basis who are causing no harm and pose no threat. Be clear: this is a police riot,” Shamow tweeted a month later, according to another screenshot.

I’m not the one that has forgotten the 1-2 years of almost constant violence of the far left militants such as BLMTIFA (or respectively the young blacks and whites whose ideology is communist based and militant —the modern unofficial Red Guard of the Democratic Party if you will). They burned, beat, killed and held large areas of many cities hostage such as Portland Oregon. Really they only stopped when the democrats won all three branches of power, and even then it took a few weeks to do so. I remember ANTIFA went on a window smashing spree a few weeks after Biden was in office and he called on them to cease.

Remember 2020? : https://www.newsweek.com/george-washington-statue-portland-toppled-covered-burning-us-flag-1512075

My point is I think they likely could resume violence when and if we win both houses of congress this week. I myself was in a car when a group of BLMTIFA protestors were 10 feet away from me in Louisville Ky in 2020. The man on the loudspeaker was literally screaming for revolution and overthrow of the USA, and his cries were met with supporting cheers from the crowd. Even though a few of my fellow freepers here told me he was ANTIFA and nothing to do with BLM (why..they were not there and he was black and BLM signs existed, although many young white ANTIFA types were there as well).

Finally I used this article because it was the only one close to my concern; BlmTifa and the democratic Red Guard still still exist, they haven’t just emigrated.

There appears to be a MASSIVE media blitz going on warning of right wing violence now and threats to our democracy from MAGA. I scanned probably 3 pages of current search results and it’s page after page of warning what will happen if WE win.

Example of 1 from Politico 11-3-2022: “ ‘People are fearful’: Threats to midterm election workers spur law enforcement response across U.S.” and 1 paragraph later- “ In areas of the U.S. where pro-Trump supporters spurred lies…”.

Yet there is nothing about potential violence from the left. Perhaps it was all Trump based hatred and BlmTifa will quietly accept the transfer of power back to Republicans since he isn’t in office.

Personally I doubt it but perhaps they will.

INHO, there will be violence from the left as there always is from communists and anarchists. Nothing will be done initially but public outcry will have Garland thrown out. A few token arrests will appease the public but nothing institutional will change until the DOJ and FBI are cleaned out fully.

If we win, violence will be inevitable. Count on it. We had better be prepared to deal with in a manner that will make the left regret it.

Brace yourself. Wait and see what the left has up its sleeve after the Republucan extinction-level event on Tuesday.

Antifa and BLM are the modern-day KKK, which was their former Democrat terrorist arm.

Almost all the violence will be in the big, Dem run cities as usual.
Who's going to need any sleep over that when the Dems attack and kill each other?

Either surrender to ANTIFA and the other Soros-funded mobs, or leave them face down on the street, in a spreading pool of their own blood.

There aren’t any nuanced alternatives.

If the Republicans sweep the elections as hoped for, expect more from Auntie Fa and burn, loot, murder, just like when Trump won and took office.

If the democrats cheat their way in again, we can kiss this country goodbye. Either way, I think we’re in for a rough time again.

The only hope is for people like Kari Lake who will not take any crap from criminals and crack down on Auntie Fa and their goons, good and hard.

The people who burned and rioted may think they are Marxists, but they are not rioting for a cause. They were paid to riot and burn by Soros. And of course, there are plenty of punks who joined in because they just like to destroy sh*t (their term) for fun.

I’m surprised at the number of people from different walks of life and different political leanings see a civil war coming.

And this is people I know personally, just talking to in conversations.

There’s still time to prep.

Will cops, mayors, governors, and sheriff departments sit on their hands again?

Some of us are willing to fight fire with fire if they don’t.

Actually they are much closer and somewhat related to the terrorist group Red Army Faction.
Both began in Germany, both used one object as their justification and both were very dangerous.

Red Army Faction used the Vietnam War as justification for murder.
Antifa used their twisted definition of Fascism as justification for riots.
Both were funded by theft and private donations.
Both were backed by the MSM at the time.
Both were radical left wing organizations.

The reason WE ARE WINNING is because we’ve kept our powder dry. We should continue to do so.

BTW, BLMTIFA threatened in Louisville to ‘take it to the burbs’. My wife DEMANDED we arm ourselves, and we did.

A blockade of every major democrat city with a complete shutdown of utilities until they comply (or die) wouldn’t be hard to accomplish.

I have to agree.

The op orders have already been distributed to the various AOs.

As before, they will shout, assault, burn, loot, maybe murder within their green zones. All the while citing the rise of M A G A N@z1s via election fraud and lies.

“The MAGA rise to power is actual violence and we must respond in kind!” ... they will shout and the MSM will parrot as their surrogate bully pulpit. “Resist!” Will be patriotic again, to “save democracy” as they define it.

Look for the usual appearance of professionally printed signs and banners with stick-weapons for support, increased sales of pepper spray, and pallets of bricks suddenly appearing, along with surveillance system failures where needed.

I say let them wreck their nests. And don’t federally fund recovery. Stick the costs on sympathetic governors and mayors, and their Soros DAs.

For ‘us’? Stay out of their greenzone. Let them have their mayhem and also let them wallow in it.

Also, live your life in Condition yellow and perhaps Condition Orange, especially when driving and shopping.

You have this afternoon and Monday to stock up on food, water and fuel. Don’t buy anything you need to have to have shipped. Only buy extra of what you would normally consume in your/your family’s lives. Have extra in case dear relatives have to emergency exfil, and your home is their redoubt.

Anticipate interruptions in various supply chains ‘magically’ nationwide or locally due to sabotage, blamed on MAGA folks of course. The EBT system could even malfunction

Watch for the usual pallets of bricks. If you see one, then assume you are in their planned AO, and exfil immediately, or be prepared to enforce a border.

Lastly read Matt Bracken’s When the Music Stops as an extant piece or get his entire Anthology.

If nothing bad happens in your AO then you already live where you should, or ‘someone’ weighed the pros and cons and put resources and actions elsewhere.

I just can’t see these types accepting defeat quietly. They have been thoroughly indoctrinated: 221-AD43-F-CCCA-4-AFB-B596-50-F63-D34-C663
