Democrats, Call Off Your Animals
Issues & Insights ^ | 8 Oct, 2025 | I&I Editorial Board

Posted on 10/08/2025 6:04:13 AM PDT by MtnClimber

We can’t be the only Americans fed up with seeing video after video of antifa-types interfering with federal law enforcement, of mobs forming around ICE officers making arrests, of “protesters” confronting men and women who are just doing their jobs. The Democrats could rein them in, but they won’t, and that makes them co-conspirators in a slow-motion rebellion that is picking up speed.

Of the many acts of violence against federal officers, the worst so far is the incident in Chicago in which “officers were rammed by vehicles and boxed in by 10 cars.” It was clearly planned, maybe not another Harper’s Ferry, but it was meant to strike fear and set off a cascade of similar attacks.

Or maybe it was the second worst. There’s been so much violence from the left that we almost forgot that a man reportedly gunning for federal agents shot and killed two detainees and wounded another last month in an ambush at a Dallas ICE facility.

Two were arrested in connection with the Chicago incident – Marimar Martinez, 30, and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, 21 – and charged “with forcibly assaulting, impeding, and interfering with a federal law enforcement officer, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Northern District of Illinois.”

This should be a modest start, followed up with mass arrests of the tantrum-ites who try to block vehicles, the thugs and drama queens who have forced federal agents to abandon buildings, and the rabble who interfere with lawful arrests.

This is what we’re seeing with our own eyes. But it’s even uglier beneath the surface.

“Our intelligence indicates that these people are organized, they’re getting more and more people on their team, as far as attacking officers and they’re making plans to ambush them and to kill them,” says Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. “We have specific officers and agents that have bounties that have been put out on their heads. It’s about $2,000 to kidnap them, $10,000 to kill them.”

What we are living through is neither legitimate protest nor rational behavior. It is a dark night not wholly unlike the early 1970s – when there were 2,500 domestic terrorist bombings in the U.S. within an 18-month period, almost five per day on average – and the longer the lawlessness goes unpunished, the more of it we’re going to have.

The restraint federal agents are showing in the face of what is so obviously creeping terrorism is remarkable. It’s reasonable to fear that someone just might snap after taking so much abuse and then the left will have its martyrs. The officers are only human, after all.

And we haven’t even mentioned Charlie Kirk’s assassination; multiple attempts on the president’s life; one twisted California man’s plan to kill three Supreme Court Justices for ideological reasons, or in other words to tilt the Court’s majority toward leftism; and a Democrat running for a statewide office who apparently would like to shoot a Republican politician, presumably only after he and his wife had to watch their “fascist” children die.

What we are seeing should sicken all Americans. It should make every one of us angry. But it doesn’t. For too many on the Democratic side, and we include most of the media here, the violence is politically useful.

No, the Democrats wouldn’t be able to stop all the violence, but they could shut down most of it – if they wished to. They don’t. They like it because it’s a tool for them to fool voters into thinking that the arrests and deportations are unpopular, as well as an intimidation tactic aimed at those not in compliance with the Democrats’ narrative – the message is “conform or else.”

The violence also provides a thrill, if we may borrow the brilliant words of Martin Gurri, for those who hate “orderly lives, neighborliness, civility, and the spontaneous adherence to the law of the vast majority of Americans,” and “wish to infect all social relations with the chaos and anger agitating their minds.”

This is today’s Democratic Party, where the elders and the next generation have become a raging mob of insurrection.

Antifa is the terrorist wing of the Democrat Party.

Once folks see that the actions of Democrat officeholders/district attorneys and judges start to make sense.

“In the 70’s”, why not add all the “civil unrest” of the late”60’s”?

The sad thing is that, if you really do have a better idea of how to do something, you don’t need to shoot, maim, or otherwise hurt someone. They will gravitate to your idea by its own merits. However, when your position is anathema to the majority of people, that’s when you have to use force to make them do things your way. Democrats: Americans have had enough NGO’s and bogus spending so Latvia can have a Gender Studies course. Insisting on more such spending and shutting down the gov’t because you can’t get your way is you acting like a spoiled brat. Americans don’t want illegals here who don’t want to become an American and defend its culture, but want to destroy us from within. Come up with an idea that good for America and we’ll all embrace it. So far, you’re batting zero.

Most of these people aren’t actually true believers - stop paying them and they won’t show up. It’s more important than ever for the DoJ to go after their funding sources.

“The country is healing: A company that provided car loans to illegals just went belly up…”

https://revolver.news/2025/10/the-country-is-healing-a-company-that-provided-car-loans-to-illegals-just-went-belly-up/

“A Dallas-based auto lender built on giving car loans to illegals has just gone belly up, and it’s dragging Wall Street down with it.

Tricolor Holdings was once hailed by the US Treasury as a “community development” success story. Now, they’ve just filed for bankruptcy as fraud allegations and a full-blown federal investigation overtake them. The company, which sold overpriced used cars to illegals and wrapped the scheme in a feel-good “social lending” label, is leaving major US banks like JPMorgan, Barclays, and Fifth Third staring at massive losses.”

Charlie Kirk Assassination: Part 6 (Antifa and Armed Queers)
Tierney’s Real News
Sep 18, 2025

Excerpt, and I recommend everyone read Parts 1 through 7 in order:

The Antifa cell in Oregon reported that they are experiencing severe fallout from Charlie Kirk’s assassination. They admit that they now worry about being able to mark conservatives for death, with no pushback, like they are accustomed to, after so many conservatives reacted negatively to Charlie’s death. This will likely even get worse now that Trump plans to declare their organization a terror cell.

YAF: Rep. Keith Ellison ‘irresponsible and foolhardy’ to signal acceptance of Antifa - Young America’s Foundation
They are also afraid that Communist Antifa militants and their armed transgender & queer partners will not as easily be able to assault families and children at Christian events in the future - with no pushback.

May be an image of 4 people, crowd and text that says ‘TIS OUR DUTY SMASH ASCISM’
May be an image of 2 people and text that says ‘GP The Gateway Pu... 50m REVEALED: Group Behind Trans “Day of Vengeance” Raised Money for Firearms Training- Trans Activists Pose with Firearms Threatening Christians Ahead of Rally at US Supreme Court (PHOTOS) VENGEANCE TRANS GENOCIDE VENGEANCE APRIL 11:00 ASSEMN MEATEYUAEE Smipgpnpnd vee’
Twitter has been removing the posts that could be deemed threatening or involve guns associated with the ‘TransDayofVengeance’ hashtag - but it is unclear exactly how many were others posing with weapons as they have since been deleted

Andy reported that Antifa Communists also suggested to their foot soldiers that they need to use Israel as a wedge issue - in other words - blame Israel for Charlie’s death to drive a wedge between MAGA.

So, Antifa Communists are also openly admitting they are lying about Israel in order to divide and conquer MAGA - so if you wonder about all the Koch Libertarians and Democrats who are suddenly trying to blame Israel for Charlie’s death - now you know where that’s coming from - the left-wing Communists!

May be a graphic of text that says ‘As such, Antifascists must work to find more creative ways to counter this political moment. One option may be working to drive wedges between different segments of the right. We have already seen physical conflict between neo-Nazis and conservatives at these events when a group of bruisers associated with SoCal Active Club jumped a rockabilly guy at an event in Huntington Beach. One possibly useful wedge issue in this context is Israel. Conspiracy theorists have already jumped to blame Kirk’s assassination on Mossad, claiming the lifelong zionist was on the verge of becoming j-pilled.’
There is also documented evidence that the Armed Queers of Salt Lake City - an Islamo-Communist organization in Salt Lake City - who appears to be organizing several chat groups on the Dark Web and plotting and celebrating Charlie’s death - are also connected to the Soros-Singh CCP “No Kings” organizations behind the LA riots and the Antifa Communist Tesla arson and protesters - not to mention ties to UN propaganda and initiatives.

Marco Rubio stated that Communist revolutionary groups of ALL kinds with ties to a Communist China-linked Marxist funding network is at the forefront of organizing all these nationwide protests and riots.

Armed Queers Bash Back - LGBTQ, Queer ...

Here’s what you need to know: Armed Queers SLC is under investigation for possible foreknowledge of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Their leader, Ermiya Fanaeian, was recognized by a State Dept-affiliated NGO, Utah Global Diplomacy, as a recipient of the for “7for17” 17” Award for advancing the UN’s JN’s17Goals 17 Goals Utah Global Diplomacy has since scrubbed Fanaeian’s presence from their website. Unknown when this purge happened. The receipts remain.

Armed Queers SLC co-hosted educational workshops with Elm Fork branch of the John Brown Gun Club, the trans antifa perpetuators behind the July 4 Alvarado ICE facility shooting. Ermiya Fanaeian appears to have promoted these on her private Instagram. ‘ shaking right now.

This is an Iranian male pretending to be a female. Ermiya Fanaeian was not born in America; she was born in Tehran, Iran. She immigrated to the United States as a young child, first moving to San Diego, California before age two, and later to Salt Lake City, Utah at age nine. Ermiya Fanaeian is a male who identifies as a transgender woman and uses she/her pronouns. Before her transition, she was identified as male.

Ermiya Fanaeian
Meet the leader of the Armed Queers of Salt Lake Ciry; Ermiya Fanaeian. She is an Iranian immigrant and self-identified communist who has been honored by the US State Department, United Nations and his ties to NGO Utah Global Diplomacy. Utah Global Diplomacy has wiped all of her mentions on their pages. Authorities are now looking into Armed Queers SLC’s ties to Charlie Kirk’s assassination. This story is developing It is important to begin investigations into the global, militant left-wing radicalization networks that seek to destroy ٠ Post your reply’

A Palestinian and transgender immigrant, Ermiya Fanaeian, a biological male, leads a far-left terrorist movement and LGBT in Utah. Ermiya was born a male and his parents are Iranian immigrants. Armed Queers Salt Lake City stated that it abides by “six principles,” according to a document related to the application for joining the collective. The first of these sets forth the “armed and combative defense of queer and trans communities.” In addition, the group aims to achieve the “end of capitalist oppression and exploitation,” the “construction of a socialist society,” “trans liberation,” and the “elimination of prisons and police forces.”

The group defines itself as an openly Communist organization. During a meeting held in July 2025, one of its leaders stated: “We are a Marxist-Leninist organization led by queer and trans people.”

In the same deleted video, SLC Armed Queers recount Cuban med students declaring “If we’re terrorists, we’re proud to be terrorists” at an official school event. They also praise Cuba’s president for sounding like a a U.S. street organizer and openly backing a “liberated Palestine.”

A child of Iranian immigrants, Fanaeian’s activity in the political landscape was first made public in April 2019 when Ermiya joined Elizabeth Warren onstage during a campaign event in Salt Lake City.

Ermiya also founded the local chapter of March for Our Lives, David Hogg’s group, which lobbied to restrict gun rights and emerged after the Parkland massacre. Hmm. So Ermiya was against guns until he/she was for them!

Ermiya Fanaeian then started the Salt Lake City chapter of Pink Pistols, a Communist organization aiming to ‘arm LGBTQ people.’ Ermiya said he used to think ‘guns were a scary thing and now I own one.’

Pink Pistols Salt Lake City ...
In 2021, Fanaeian, then a student at the University of Utah, left the Pink Pistols. Still, Fanaeian was given a ‘7 for 17’ award in 2022 for ‘gender equality’ by the Utah Global Diplomacy, a nonprofit that worked with Biden’s State Department. The award was given through her efforts to ‘promote citizen diplomacy and international exchange in Utah.’

I’m guessing these are the kinds of connections that Kash is working on for Pam’s RICO case.

PS: Remember that the former head of the Salt Lake City FBI was a Palestinian who worked counterintelligence in LA on the China desk.

If you’re wondering why there are Iranian transgender Communists running around America killing conservatives - here’s a clue. In Iran, if you’re a gay male - they put you to death. BUT, if you agree to call yourself a woman, and undergo “transitioning” to a female - you can marry and sodomize your partner and live. I’m not kidding. That way the leaders of Iran can declare they have NO gay Muslims in Iran.

The transgender transitioning and “gender surgery” movement in Iran is worth BILLIONS and BILLIONS of dollars and that’s where it all started - and they brought it to Europe and America. THERE IS NOTHING ORGANIC ABOUT IT AT ALL.

I wonder why the President talks about the sources but as far as I can see has not yet gone after them.

I must surmise that such action has not yet worked its self up on the prioritized list of things to assault.

I must concede that the DOGE effort was first and did indeed stop lots of the theft via Democrat created fake agencies.

They want some of their animals to be sacrificial deaths for martyrdom to the cause. They need a bloody shirt to wave for the media to have something to fan the flames with. The more likely result will be a federal office3r dying at the hands of these nitwits and unhinged psychopaths.

They won’t because this is what the democrats WANT them to do, but are too much cowards to do it themselves, so send out their useful idiots to act for them.

Which makes them just as guilty of every crime committed as those who do the action. And while justice may never happen here on earth, GOD is keeping account and knows who to hold accountable for what and what the just punishment for their crimes should be.

And there’s no weaseling out of HIS justice. No brides, no favors called in, no district judges to undermine HIS authority.
