[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.

I may have been probed twice in the last 24 hours. Assaulted my friend with pepper spray. Or the guy may have been normally nuts. We’ll see.

Indeed. This time it's the enemy within.

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

***

And there’s the rub. Nobody on the left has, as yet, actually been arrested.

Despite all of the ‘exposures’ of wrongdoing coming from the DOJ under Trump... no actual perp-walks. No arrests. No mugshots.

You really have to ask....

why is that???

[SunkenCiv]

Perfect!

[Kudsman]

they have massive support from the Democratic Party and wealthy private foundations.

And a Michigan Mutineer and Arizona Anarchist. Time to arrest, try, convict and sentence those two Senators. No one is above the law. So for the sake of our democracy those two heads of the hydra need to be cut off.
