Jack Posobiec Sits Down With Revolver and Shares Unprecedented Analysis of Antifa’s Dark Underbelly
Revolver ^ | 12 Jul, 2021

Posted on 07/13/2021 5:07:13 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Human Events senior editor Jack Posobiec is back with his newest book. The Antifa: Stories from Inside the Black Bloc (BUY IT HERE) looks at a group that has done more than any other to shape the ground tactics of the modern left, yet which remains quite mysterious thanks to the deliberate obtuseness of the professional press. Even though Antifa is present in almost every major American city and regularly riots, loots, and burns, the press has often tried to claim that Antifa doesn’t even exist.

Revolver spoke with Posobiec about his discoveries researching the group and its tactics up close.

Revolver: At the very beginning of your book, you describe President Trump repeatedly clashing with FBI Director Christopher Wray over targeting antifa more forcefully. Wray reportedly told the president that going after Antifa was unacceptable because it was a “political ideology,” yet his FBI had no problem going after even peaceful MAGA supporters in the wake of January 6. How do you think a future Republican president could reform the bureaucracy to prevent a repeat of this?

Jack Posobiec: In my own time serving in the intelligence community, I saw the stark difference between military intelligence, where I got my start, and civilian intelligence, where I ended up. I’ve had the misfortune to work with just about every 3-letter agency in the government both in their DC area headquarters and while deployed. My area focus was mainly East Asia with my Mandarin background, but I also spent a tour at Guantanamo Bay in the detainee interrogation operations center.

For the most part, as intel goes from its most raw form at the point of collection in the field, it becomes more watered down and co-opted by politics as it moves along the chain to DC.

While the vast majority of military intel analysts and officers are patriotic and sign up for the right reasons (as I like to think I did), they are beholden to a politicized civilian leadership and an increasingly subverted general officer corps.

We went from General Patton to General Milley in just one generation.

Posobiec should write a book about this.

Let that sink in along with Hap Arnold to Gen Charles Brown and Adm Chester Nimitz to Adm “gilded” Gilday.

To paraphrase a line: our enemies saying we have met the enemy and they are sunk.

Hint: who has the most money, the methods, the means, the experience, and MOTIVE?

Actuyally, we went from Patton to Milley in 3 generations (about 75 years). However, we went from General “Stormin Norman” Schwarzkopf to Milley in a single generation.

Which ever way you look at it, our present day generals and flag officers are absolutely pathetic.

Yep. Obama’s Army. Organizing for America. He told us he was going to do it. No surprises here.

I just finished Andy Ngo’s book on the same subject. ANTIFA is very well organized, very clever in their tactics and have the sympathy, if not support of the media and the DemonRats.

You missed the sarcasm, but yeah, what we all need to do as the cretins breach the walls is to read a book.

where the Antifa funding comes from!

This is an old (somewhat dated) article on the topic:

https://www.ammoland.com/2020/06/antifa-osint-profile-violent-leftist-group-part-1/

The comments discuss the funding.

Antifa is a terrorist group and anyone who funds them should be jailed for treason.
