Antifa Links to ISIS-Style Training in Syria Exposed (Q Drops 4692-4694)
Q posted three drops on September 13, 2020, with images and a short message.
These drops showed photos of armed fighters training in a desert.
The message read: "Know your enemy. Q"
Anons on research boards saw the images as proof of Antifa militants training overseas.
They claimed the training connected to ISIS tactics and occurred in Syria.
The photos came from the Rojava region in northeastern Syria around 2017-2018.
Fighters wore gear with black-and-red patches and Antifa symbols.
Many were Western volunteers who joined Kurdish YPG/YPJ units against ISIS.
Anons argued some Antifa members received paramilitary training there.
They said skills later appeared in 2020 U.S. riots.
At least four American fighters in the photos faced arrests after returning home.
Training sites were geolocated near Derik/Al-Malikiyah in Syria.
Images matched known 2018 YPG training videos.
Funding came through crowdfunding on GoFundMe and YouCaring.
These pages raised money for "anti-fascist volunteers" going to Rojava.
USAID sent over $1.2 billion in aid to the region from 2016 to 2020.
Funds reached areas with the training camps.
Travel was coordinated by the International Freedom Battalion and Rojava Information Center.
Declassified reports supported monitoring of these individuals.
A 2020 DHS bulletin discussed anarchists returning from Syria with advanced training.
It noted infantry and explosives skills from YPG units.
FBI FOIA documents reported Antifa-linked border detentions after Syria travel.
State Department reports in 2024-2025 labeled similar European groups as terrorists.
They used language like ISIS designations for tactics and structure.
Anons compared ISIS training videos to 2020 U.S. riot footage.
They showed identical room-clearing drills, shield walls, and countermeasures.
Captured ISIS manuals described urban firebombs and mortars.
Similar techniques appeared in Antifa guides on Discord and Indymedia in 2019-2020.
Broader claims linked Antifa to meetings with ISIS and al-Qaeda reps.
Edward Klein's book described FBI findings from Hamburg G20 in 2017.
Over 100 U.S. leftists allegedly met radicals to share tactics.
A July 2019 DHS report examined Antifa travel to Syria for combat experience.
Skills were used in Portland riots and Seattle's CHAZ zone.
Anons viewed Antifa as a hybrid terrorist group with Marxist roots.
They claimed black bloc tactics mirrored ISIS paramilitary styles.
Violence patterns included firebombing, looting, and other attacks.
The drops confirmed overseas training with tactic overlaps.
Indirect U.S. funding streams reached the areas involved.
"Know your enemy" urged archiving these connections before removal online.
Anons saw this as evidence of networks importing chaos to the U.S.
