The LA Times pretends ANTIFA is not a hard core terrorist organization that has carried out thousands of terrorist attacks and continues to carry out arson, looting, extortion, deadly assaults and murders even as we speak.

There is an alternate universe out there in which we never have to ponder, let alone read, “Unmasked,” provocateur Andy Ngo’s supremely dishonest new book on the left-wing anti-fascist movement known as antifa. In that other world far, far away, Marjorie Taylor Greene remains a nutty CrossFit enthusiast from Georgia, not a member of Congress, and we know nothing of her musings on Jewish space lasers, the execution of Democrats or “false flag” school shootings.
If you find that universe, please send directions.
Coming as it does in this weary universe of ours, a month after pro-Trump insurrectionists stormed the U.S. Capitol in search of elected officials to kidnap or kill, “Unmasked” has to be taken seriously.

“Unmasked” is a culmination of Ngo’s single-minded quest to depict an assortment of leftists as a unified vanguard whose mission is to “destroy the nation-state, America in particular.” Only in its final pages does he explain the roots of that fixation, his parents’ immigration from war torn Vietnam. He calls this book “a letter of gratitude to the nation that welcomed” them. As an immigrant from a communist country, I understand the sentiment. As a journalist, however, I must point out that he is churning out the very kind propaganda that keeps authoritarians in power.
Distortions and untruths hover like flies around every shred of confirmable fact. The same section of “Unmasked” that ends with Ngo’s paean to the United States portrays a mid-November “Stop the Steal” rally in Washington as a “peaceful and celebratory” affair, with no mention of the Proud Boys amassed there. The counter-protesters, meanwhile, are a “marauding gang.”

Alexander sounds like he literally is a real life version of Stuart Smalley
The LA Times New Book Review Still Pretends Antifa is an Idea.
If you want an opinion piece from the LA Slime, no need to read a book review, just go to the front page.
So too were the ChiCom Red Guards ... they killed a mess of journalists if I recall the story correctly.
pro-Trump insurrectionists stormed the U.S. Capitol in search of elected officials to kidnap or kill...
What a twisted universe this guy lives in!
Doesn’t the LASlimes still owe the country some video of Bammy that could be used to impeach him?

Alexander is nuts.
I watched that (1984) last night instead of the Super Bowel.
I saw a lot of parallels with our times.
Stuart Smalley....
Never saw the SNL but for some odd reason I really love the movie Stuart Saves His Family.
Now he (Al Franken) says he may run for high office again soon.
The Left proves they are mentally ill every day and with every utterance.
It’s almost like no one watched the news over the summer when we had months of BLM and Antifa riots. Though I guess a politician from Georgia hitting like on a comment is a bigger deal.
LA Times? Has FR opened a fiction page?
“What a twisted universe this guy lives in”
Right on the money.

Meanwhile, I have yet to get the copy of Ngo’s book I ordered from Amazon. Claim it is “backordered” with no ship date available. Did the same with Abigail Shrier’s book on transgender madness.
over 100 nights of riots in Portland, but nothing to see.... it’s orange man bad....
Antifa/Burning Looting Mobs are the real enemy of real America.
Reading it now, it’s very disturbing how the left has distorted and lied to people to grab and consolidate power, we’re truly going through a mirror of the Nazi rise to power of the mid to late 30’s. Ugly and disturbing. .
