'They’re getting ready for war' Ex-Antifa reveals inside the far-left | Documentary

[E. Pluribus Unum]

In recent years, America has seen a wave of far-Left violence, from the murder of Charlie Kirk, to the shooting at an ICE facility in Texas; from attempts on Donald Trump’s life, to the killing of a healthcare CEO.

Across the country, radical activists claim they’re fighting “fascism.” But their war is increasingly against ordinary citizens.

In this film for GB News, Steven Edginton explores far-Left extremism.

He speaks with an ex-member of Antifa, protestors outside of an ICE facility in Portland, and journalists documenting the dangerous rise in Left-wing extremism.

Grok Summary of Video Transcript:

The film argues that far-left extremism and political violence in the United States are sharply rising, particularly since 2020, and that mainstream Democratic rhetoric calling Donald Trump and his supporters “fascists,” “Nazis,” or “threats to democracy” is directly radicalising activists and normalising violence against perceived political enemies.Key points presented:

• A former Antifa member from Seattle describes an internal culture in which calling someone a “fascist” or “Nazi” is deliberately used to dehumanise them, justifying any level of violence, including murder. He claims the original targets (Proud Boys, etc.) have broadened to anyone who disagrees, and that friends now openly discuss arming themselves because they believe Trump will initiate genocide or mass imprisonment.

• In Portland, independent journalists and victims document ongoing Antifa-linked harassment, assaults, doxxing, arson (e.g., a $740 million building targeted with “ACAB” and “eat the rich” graffiti), and explicit threats to kill ICE agents, police, and Trump supporters. Graffiti such as “Kill ICE,” “Kill Nazis,” and “Kidnap ICE F MAGA” is commonplace.

• At nightly protests outside Portland’s ICE facility, some protesters openly say violence (even killing) against “fascists” may become necessary if democratic means fail, while others insist current actions are peaceful.

• Police union leaders and officers report a marked increase in violent anti-police rhetoric and actions since 2010 (Occupy) and especially 2020 (180 consecutive nights of rioting in Portland), including firebombings of police buildings with officers inside and widespread doxxing.

• In Seattle, journalists revisit the 2020 CHOP/CHAZ zone and document lasting damage from armed left-wing occupation, assaults on reporters, rapes inside the zone, and the permanent closure of major downtown businesses after looting.

• Multiple interviewees (former activists, journalists, police, victims) assert that celebratory reactions to recent political killings (e.g., the murder of a healthcare CEO misidentified in the film as Charlie Kirk) and attempts on Trump’s life were not aberrations but the logical endpoint of years of escalating “anti-fascist” rhetoric that portrays half the country as Nazis.

The film’s central thesis: when political leaders and media repeatedly label opponents as existential fascist threats, a minority on the far left interprets this as moral permission for pre-emptive violence, and this phenomenon is growing, moving from the fringes into broader leftist circles. It warns that further high-profile political assassinations are likely inevitable unless the rhetoric is de-escalated.

This is like those women who divorce their husbands at age 30 because they think they can go on the dating market and trade up.

F this America stuff. Let's have a civil war and start over again, anything would be better than the deal I've got.

The thing is, the hippies and yippees were saying the exact same thing 55 years ago. The exact same thing, I'm not exaggerating.

Trump labeled them a terrorist organization, yet no one’s being arrested.

These pansies are very brave in their protected areas, but turn them loose in Patriotic America and they will learn a serious lesson.

[ClearCase_guy]

I’m sure I have the legal nuances all wrong, but I think the Geneva Convention allows the killing of non-uniformed combatants who are operating in our sovereign territory. The American Terrorists who may riot in our cities? I think citizens have a right to just start shooting. The police would be wise to focus on parking tickets.

Democrats feel justified in violent behavior because they see it as losing their democracy. They say it-”...this is a threat to OUR democracy...”. MAGA is a threat to their power, independent thought and independence is a threat to their power. Every democrat sees themselves as above virtuous and they must have the righteousness to dictate to everyone else what they should think, how they should think, and how they should live. Every democrat acts as if they are benevolent dictators, and you are too ignorant to understand their superiority of virtue. This is why they feel justified in doxing you, bullying you, and attacking you. In their own mind, to oppose them is evil, and evil is to be destroyed. The Bible says “Evil for good and good for evil”. That has been democrat doctrine for decades.

5 plead guilty to terrorism-related charges tied to antifa after Texas shooting Nov 19, 2025

Five people pleaded guilty Wednesday to terrorism-related charges after they were accused of supporting antifa in a July shooting that wounded a police officer outside a Texas immigration detention center
They're already on court.

But...but...the media says “Antifa doesn’t exist”? How can he be “ex-Antifa”?

“The thing is, the hippies and yippees were saying the exact same thing 55 years ago. The exact same thing, I’m not exaggerating.”

Which is clearly demonstrated By the elderly demographics of all the “no kings” protests and the likes. The thing with the antifa kooks is they are city locked. They don’t dare leave the cities where they are protected. If they even have cars. If they really want a fight, all that needs to happen are blocking the roads to food delivery, and sabotage a power station. I would say shut off the water and sewer but they are use to living in their own filth and stink.

[Organic Panic]

I would imagine the FIBs would work under the radar to catch the leaders (aka DNC) of antifa cells and go after the big fish. The purple haired moron throwing rocks at police would be more valuable on the streets so it can be followed and tracked.

Not that I trust the FIB one bit....

I see the similarity, but this time they have massive support from the Democratic Party and wealthy private foundations.
