On Tuesday night, antifa and Black Lives Matter rioters and anarchists attempted to seize property in Portland in the same way agitators seized property in Seattle, setting up the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ). As PJ Media’s Jeff Reynolds reported, the Portland anarchists called the area the Chinook Land Autonomous Territory (CLAT)... While CHAZ/CHOP endured for weeks, CLAT barely lasted 36 hours. Why?
At first, it seems the prospect for an “autonomous zone” might be rosier in Portland than it was in Seattle. After all, antifa rioters have terrorized the streets of Portland with relative impunity for years. As Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf put it, “The city of Portland has been under siege for 47 straight days by a violent mob while local political leaders refuse to restore order to protect their city. "
...
Yet in the wee hours of Thursday morning, police cleared out Chapman Square Park and Lownsdale Square Park, where antifa had set up the CLAT.
...
Last week, Sean Hannity asked the president whether “one of the reasons that the Seattle mayor finally acted is that they were given notice that if they didn’t act that you were going to. Is there any truth to that?”
“A hundred percent,” Trump replied.
...
It seems that the DHS and Chad Wolf pressured Wheeler to act in the same fashion. Despite the mayor’s loud protestations, federal troops were coming to Portland. The 47 days of violence had to come to an end.
...
Wolf flew into Portland on Thursday, and Wheeler acknowledged his presence in town. The mayor insisted that even if he were invited to meet with Wolf, he would not.
...
There will be no autonomous zones while Acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf is in town.

Wow.
Not shamed! More like threatened!
A perfect historical comparison with the mob violence in the USA is revolutionary France. Just mayhem and murder.
If they don’t get exactly what they want they’ll just destroy the whole place...
I’m not referring to antifa, I’m talking about the democrats.
Portland is as insanely lefty as Seattle. The reason why the occupations took hold is that the administrations willingly allowed them and gave them material support.
The fact that this one was ended by Trump’s thread was never reported in the media. They know that the people want a leader who stands up to lawlessness.
DHS took action and it appears the local police helped WITHOUT Wheeler's approval.
Great post about picturing Portland and Hong Kong. :-).
I think more and more of the world, and perhaps more and more of the USA will begin seeing more and more of this as well.
Thanks, buddy.
We don’t know what the President said to the mayor but I think he made an offer she dare not refuse.
” Chinook Land Autonomous Territory (CLAT)... “
I was kind of hoping for Chinook Land Autonomous Park, that way they would all be living with the CLAP.
We could surely come up with some names for the occupied zone.
Portland Occupied Opposition Party
Chinook Revolutionary Activist Party
Chinook Revolutionary Underground Demonstration
Northwest Underground Terror Syndicate
Chinook United Revolution Sanctuary
I love the sound of cop batons cracking anarchist skulls early in the morning. It sounds like...good housekeeping.
You could give them everything they want it wouldn’t be enough. They always want all they can get and continue to agitate for more.
I am (shamelessly) going to steal your second pic/image.
Now we need to ID every last person involved and execute them.
