In recent weeks, Portland, Oregon has emerged as the flashpoint of the organized violent anarchist-communist movement that seeks to “transform” the United States into a lawless Third World Marxist state. Late Saturday night and early Sunday morning, a mob of hundreds of “protesters” played another violent cat and mouse game with the city’s police and federal officers on the streets of downtown Portland. The police officially declared a riot at 11 PM PDT after which the building housing the police union (PPA) headquarters was set on fire by “demonstrators,” according to multiple sources.
I have been following reports from the streets on Twitter and elsewhere online all night that have included multiple cell phone videos. The hashtag #portlandprotest is one active thread featuring reports and videos, many if not most of them sympathetic to the violence. In fact, the vast majority of tweets on the subject have taken the side of the “protesters,” many of them insisting that the fire at the PPA was a false flag – a modern version of the 1933 Reichstag Fire set by the Nazis in Berlin – this time allegedly set by the Portland police themselves in order to provide an excuse for more “repression.” Other tweets have claimed the fire was a worthy tactic in the radicals’ campaign to do away with Portland’s police force. Trending on Twitter this past week – some of them serving as organizing tools for street actions and flash mobs – are hashtags like #TrumpThreatensAmerica and #trumpnazi.

“Fort Sumter has been fired upon.”
Worst case of cabin fever EVER.
What happens next pretty much sets the tone for the coming election and what ensues after.
Who are these insane thugs?
I agree. Federal Courthouses can be moved or rebuilt anyway. Not sure why it’s not in Salem, the state capital?
Or hitting someone in the head with a baseball bat like what occurred in NYC on the Brooklyn Bridge.
Actually, with a String-Ray ‘box’, I’d keep the cell towers up and track every single social media ‘item’ and all phone calls. You go and pull five guys off the protest, check their phones for social media....hit the right sites, and let them lead you to the ‘bosses’.
I think the Army intel folks who did time in Iraq could prescribe the various ways to track down the bad guys.
But What do you do when you trace them down and find they work for government funded NGO's created by Obama and congress?
The daily paradox we face here as a republic.
FOO-Fighters. (Friends Of Obama)
Not everybody voted for it. Those people need to be protected.
So many here advocate the cut and run strategy. Many cannot leave for various reasons. Why should they leave their home? Sometimes you have to stand your ground and/or get help from others.
We’ve had near 50 days of political violence in Portland. U. S. Attorney has charged 7 of them as far as I can tell. Doesn’t seem like much of a war on “our side” to me.
All of these people in the riot area...are consumed with non-work, and they have to be paid via some individual (in cash) or some underground group with cash cards. You’d want the angle this works, and then track the money-people down. Once you cut off cash flow, this thing starts to wind down fairly quick.
One other thing that people don’t grasp...around the rest of the state, the riots are a big negative for Oregon voters. Whatever vote that Trump got in 2016 in the state, I would imagine it’s going to bump up around 10 to 20 percent.
Utter BS! Trump is doing the right thing by protecting federal property.
I’ve always thought that it would start in Pacific Northwest first (either Seattle or Portland). Funny thing is that you don’t see many minorities (except for Asians) so it’s a bunch of loony Whites.
They get lodging and meals. Everyone presents ID at Motel 6, Holiday Inn, LaQuinta, etc.....Most arrive on bus. Management on air carrier. Both document Pax thru Homeland Security. There isn’t a single unknown about who they are and who they work for. It’s just unsettling to discuss it. Obama and Val-Jar made these animals. They groomed them, fed them, trained them, lodged them, gave them funding, and the best legal counsel taxpayers can offer.
Little do they know that if Joementia actually wins, this is just the beginning. Give them an inch and they will destroy the American Republic.
OREGON PING
The puppet masters watch this very carefully because from out of this mob will emerge one or two showing natural traits of being dangerous. Those one, or two will then be selected for further development.
We taxpayers spend $13 billion annually on National Guard salary. Just the salary. The top tier militia is the only institution in the US Constitution with the mission to suppress insurrection (Art 1, Sect 8, clause 15). If the governor doesn't use it, then they reap the destruction.
Let the Dems and socialists show their asses. They are doing quite well at that.
"The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recently deployed an elite unit of law enforcement operators to Portland this week"
The word "operator" is often used to describe a member of a special forces unit.
Antifa and BLM thugs in general do not concern me to be a real threat to our liberty. Armed federal agents, trained as special forces "operators" concerns me greatly. Under our Constitution law enforcement within our boarders is not within the domain of the federal government. We have far far too many armed federal agents and they are heavily militarized. They also operate with virtually zero oversight. In a nutshell the President should not have the option to send in an elite team of federal law enforcement operators because these agents should not even exist to begin with. So lets be very careful at what we wish for and what we support. Imagine Beto O'rourke having command and control of these "teams". Think about that for a minute.
“Trump had nothing to gain by sending in federal police.”
They were breaching and burning Federal courthouses and buildings.
