media Never mentions Communist involvement in every protest-riot. CPUSA/Revolution etc printed banners and litter-ature at every event. Che shirts, et al...

Media is Communist apologist and doesn’t like their team being tarnished with truth and exposure

It isn’t just now Antifu called President Bush a Fascist, ALL police Fascists, and certain FReepers they doxed Fascists. This was all a decade ago, pre-Obama, pre-Trump.

Antifu is a lie. They need a patsy group to justify their violent riots and presence.

An Obamunist lead “unite the right” and he said that he’d like to engage in agent provocateur activities.

it is yellow-pinko journalism.

ask the peace protesters about God, Israel, Jews, and Christians.

Their “no gods no masters” rhetoric will expose their hate for all of the above...

‘Gusano” brought back memories of Tijuana as a young man.

that would just give them the martyrs they want. I think that would make the movement grow.

They was a lot of talk about Heather Heyer on Sunday. She is their current martyr now. Why give them more?

A local TV station tweeted about “White nationalists” and “violence against police” in C’ville this weekend.
Of course, the WN were not there but they had to spin it that way.

The National Socialist Movement is not a political movement or political party. It self identifies as white civil rights movement. But people join because they hate blacks and Jews. That's what they have in common.

NSM is part of the National Front, along with The Traditionalist Workers Party, which is not a labor organization. The third group in the National Front is League of the South, which is not about southern cuisine.

The last time the Front came out was for the White Lives Matter rally in Murfreesboro last fall.

All three of these groups turned out big for Unite The Right in Cville.

Cville is the commonality. If you don't the names of all the groups that attended Cville, and who comprises the leadership of the group, you are poorly informed. It is also helpful to know their symbols, colors, flags, etc so you can identify them when they are rioting.

I thought I would check out YouTube for some video from that event - boy, was that a mistake. The first 2-3 pages are chock full of video from CNN, NBC, and pretty much any left-leaning "media" outlet you can think of. And of course, you know the angle they are pushing. Too bad for them that the "alt-right" has been exposed as frauds and most likely a bunch of socialists.


Probably these are "sanitized" reports, designed to cast antifa in a more favorable light, and the protesters as legitimate.

The media market for white supremecists would seem to be much larger than the supply. How many more reporters were there vs. Jason Kessler’s false flag protestors? 20X ratio?


Recall also, the FBI always infiltrates these groups. The leader is an Obama supporting Occupy type. So probably far less than 20 crazed Nazis....

I gave up on the AP and cancelled my local paper years ago when they described a gun used in a crime as a “military style assault pistol”. Another source said the gun was a 1911. Can’t handle that much bias is a news story.
