Apparently they are already running out of food according to a non-verified Tweet from inside:

I always dread having to navigate 7th from James to Cherry when going to the Polyclinic. Various life forms lurking on the sidewalk in various stages of mental deterioration.

Mao Tse Tung’s Three Phase Theory of Revolutionary War

1. Organization, consolidation and preservation of base areas,
usually in difficult and isolated terrain.

2. Progressive expansion by terror and attacks on isolated enemy units
to obtain arms, supplies and political support.

3. Decision, or destruction of the enemy in battle.

What does this mean in detail?

1. The revolutionary cadres begin their work in remote rural areas. It’s easier to hide there and governments tend to ignore remote areas or, even better, discriminate against their inhabitants. That serves to helps with recruiting. Cadres come to villages to live and work and socialize with the locals. Over time they become trusted. In that newly fertile ground they develop a program, the party line, and recruit followers. The government on the other hand has the constant task of rooting out and apprehending the revolutionary cadres. That was usually a losing battle for them. In remote areas the peasant population is small; they all know and keep tabs on one another, but you can still move among them as long as you make friends with them. By contrast, strangers immediately stand out, so it’s harder for the government to infiltrate, to get intelligence. The Communists did not always co-mingle with the locals in such a benign way, sometimes they coerced villagers, but the track record (in China, Vietnam and elsewhere) reveals a trend toward cooperation rather than intimidation as the primary characteristic of the relations between revolutionaries and peasants. At least at this early stage. That’s phase one.

2. Next, the transition to phase two, guerrilla warfare, armed struggle. In guerrilla warfare, attacks are carefully planned for heightened effect, but usually not for military purposes per se. Instead phase two revolutionaries are interested in using military force for political purposes. What or who is the first target? This is low-intensity warfare at this point so the target will likely be an individual or a small group, a police chief for example, or a village chief, or maybe even a province chief or council. Kidnapping and assassination are the tools of the trade, not so much because they want to get rid of that person but rather to make a resounding point. To what effect? To demonstrate to the populace that the insurgents can get to the enemy, that their force is a real factor to be respected. It also induces fear in the ranks. The first attacks may do little physical damage to the enemy, but psychologically, fears of possible mayhem just around the corner get stoked. Suddenly, formerly comfortable officials begin to fear for their safety. They may then pull their forces further inward for personal protection, which usually made the villagers happy.

Another primary reason behind these first attacks is to get attention. Basically, when people read about the attack in the newspaper or hear about it on the radio or by word of mouth, they’re going to be curious about what is happening. Even if they’ve never heard of the revolutionary movement they may start thinking about it and seek to learn more. Engaging in that initial act of violence, or terrorism, demonstrates to the people that the revolution is real, that its agents are here and they mean business. And they can win. For villagers already opposed to the government, or even for those who were neutral, this represented a development worth watching, and maybe hope for something new and better.

3. From that initial purely political statement, progress toward the third and final stage is constantly evolving. In the third stage military objectives rise to the fore. Getting there involves the constant escalation of fear through violence. For example, an ambush of a patrol might net a weapons cache. Then a police station is overrun in the night, netting more weapons and ammunition, and perhaps information like names of informants. Then, finally, enough weapons, and money, are accumulated to encourage supporters to help. They begin to give information on government officials, and local families grow more willing to hide communist troops. Over time, more and more locals actually take up arms and join in the combat operations. Insurgent military operations become bigger and deadlier. Ultimately a regular military force emerges that can engage government forces on the field of battle. That’s the third phase. As we’ll see, the Vietnamese Communists put their own gloss on the theory and practice.

Antifa, or their helpers, under the pretense of caring about black people, now has control of a police station, and more.

Seattle’s politicians have ceded control over one of the oldest police stations in the city to a group of leftists, who have used the death of George Floyd, to advance one of their long held goals, seizing government property in the name of a Marxist revolution.

"On Tuesday, the police in Seattle’s Eastern District had initially battled with the rioters, using tear gas and flashbangs. Eventually, recognizing that anything short of a military-style defense was a waste of police time and put police lives at risk, the police abandoned the Eastern Precinct. They shredded important and confidential documents, boarded up the windows, and walked away, leaving the people, whom they serve to the mob’s mercy."

Attention citizens of SeattleStan, LAStan, NYCStan, MinneapoliStan, and ChicagoStan!

said, "Antifa terrorists are pro-gun"
They call themselves the Ron Brown gun club. It's a real gun club. They do mean for an armed revolution

[Publius]

John Brown, not Ron Brown. It’s a reference to the famous abolitionist and terrorist of Bleeding Kansas and the Harpers Ferry raid.

A little local geography. Capitol Hill, where this precinct is located is known mostly for three things. First, it is near where most of the major hospitals in the City are located. Another common name for Capitol Hill is Pill Hill, because of all the doctors, medical clinics and hospitals.

Capitol Hill is also the home of Seattle University and Seattle community college. The later is a hotbed of protests and the former is committed to social justice.

The third thing that Capitol Hill is known for is the Gay Pride festival, where crosswalks are painted rainbow colors every year and a huge multi-block party happens.

Without law enforcement, things are going to get pretty wild in this neck of the woods. The medical facilities as a source of drugs, and the college students plus Gay pride party goers as easy victims. It is not going to be pretty.

[Publius]

Capitol Hill is also known as the Swish Alps.

The reporter shown, Brandi Kruse, may have well been talking to children. It’s reminiscent of another interview she did with Jay Inslee a week or two ago.

[myerson]

“Trump won’t move on them.”

Apparently he’s not taking the bait to intervene and interrupt the disgusting evil animals while they’re discrediting and destroying themselves and winning the November election for Trump and Trumpites.

[gathersnomoss]

Exactly. Let those who voted for those politicians bleed. Elections have consequences. It is their ball.

Tough love, damn it. Coddling criminals and enablers is obviously not productive. In fact it is fatal.

[Steve Van Doorn]

John Brown, not Ron Brown ooops... you’re right. Hey i’m not perfect

[bobby.223]

They can have Freemont! I ‘did’ 55 years in Seattle, and surrounding areas, before I escaped in 2002. It was at one time a very nice place to live. Now? Forget it. I’ll stay up in the Mountains!

I found this over on the_donald.win:

Statement from Seattle Antifa:

Science is now in the process of destroying religious dogma. The dogma of the divine creation is recognized as absurd. With each new discovery of chemistry, physics, biology, the anthropological sciences, of the practical application of sound principles, dogma collapses. It is a part of that old edifice of religion which crumbles and falls in ruins. The faculty by which man is differentiated from the lower animals is his reasoning power. But the devout believer renounces reason, refuses to explain the things which surround him, the innumerable natural phenomena, because his religious faith is enough for him. The brain loses the habit of thinking; and this religious sottishness hurls mankind back into animalism.

The rapacious property-owning American [...] admits no limits, possesses no scruples and does not share the fears and the cowardice of our bourgeoisie. [They are] violent, absolute criminal. When they feel the need, they simply stain their hands with proletarian blood. They lack any human sense. They are only interested in exploitation. We want an extraordinary heavy taxation, with a progressive character, on capital, that will represent an authentic partial expropriation of all wealth; seizures of all assets of religious congregations and suppression of all the ecclesiastic [...] revenues, in what constitutes an enormous deficit of the nation and a privilege for a minority; revisions of all contracts made by the war ministers and seizure of 85% of all war profits.

To-day we can affirm that the capitalistic method of production is out of date. So is the doctrine of laissez-faire, the theoretical basis of capitalism… To-day we are taking a new and decisive step in the path of revolution. A revolution, in order to be great, must be a social revolution. Silence is the only answer you should give to the fools. Where ignorance speaks, intelligence should not give [advice]. We do not argue with those who disagree with us, we destroy them.

Marx was the greatest of all theorists of socialism. [Marx] had a profound critical intelligence and was in some sense even a prophet.

Just kidding. It wasn't Antifa. It was Benito Mussolini.

They will raise money, someone will embezzle it and it will be over

[Carriage Hill]

Chris Plante mention on his 9-12 show that the ‘homeless’ took all the food, and the anarchists are pleading to be resupplied. Heh.

Shut off all electric, gas, water and cell towers. It’ll end quickly.

~Brilliant!

If you do that, you would be called a vigilante and the government will seize any and all your assets and throw you under the jail. The leftists and communists have more rights than we ever will in this regard.

[MeganC]

“If you do that, you would be called a vigilante and the government will seize any and all your assets and throw you under the jail.”

And RIGHT THERE is why I support defunding and disbanding every single law enforcement agency that would do such a thing!
