  • it conveys an uncompromising rejection of the prevailing order

BLM has $42 million left over after spending $37 million on mansions and more
 
Being revolutionaries is big business.  BLM paid out
  • $970,000 to a founder’s ex-
  • $840,000 to a founder’s brother for security
  • millions for ‘consulting services’
  • $73,000 for a charter flight
  • $32 million in stocks in the evil capitalist system
  • $9.2 million on inherently racist properties
    (inherently racist, according to the Woke, because the idea of ‘property’ was once used to enslave blacks BUT according to BLM’s Cullors it’s racist to criticize her for owning property.  I’m so confused.)

BLM used Progressive/Democrat donor platforms and tax gimmickry to conceal its millions

Support from BLM among blacks plummets from 48 to 31 percent

The IRS and the Democrats enabled the rise of BLM, unleashing mayhem on the nation, by not enforcing tax-exempt rules (e.g., staying nonpolitical), welcoming leaders to the White House, bailing out BLM activists who got arrested, etc.

BLM Meltdown Continues

Indiana Attorney General sues BLM for failing to report revenue - $0 in receipts claimed, overlooking reported $90 million in donations
BLM leader in Boston indicted for squandering $1 million in donations on fancy vacations, hotels, and meals.
  • Oh, and she raised her own pay from $25,000 to $170,000

Buying Large Mansions:
  • BLM secretly paid $5.8 million for property in L.A. with 7 bedrooms; go-between has close ties to BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors
  • Patrisse Cullors denies wrong-doing.  Sure.
  • Not only that, she says it’s “sexist” and “racist” to ask any questions.  Nice try. 
  • It’s a very short jump from ‘we trained Marxists take from others to give to the oppressed’ to ‘we take from others to give to ourselves because we deserve it. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.’

Helpful Tips from Antifa KC on Facebook:
  • 3/18/22: links to article “Are you sure you’re ready to rumble? This is how Black bloc and Antifa dress for tactical concealment and identification”
  • 3/19/22: “There's already been some disruption here by OPPD today; if we can get any more antifascists out there to film and apply pressure on police if they return, that would be best. Conceal face and any identifying tattoos/scars/etc. but this is not black bloc.”
  • 3/27/22: There is a police and police supporter related event happening on the Johnson County side of the metro area around the end of April that we want to disrupt.
  • 4/2/22: “You allow police to occupy your ER and "help" hospital staff restrain mental health patients so they can press criminal assault on officer charges whenever they get hit, scratched, or spit on. This creates an unjust hospital-to-prison pipeline.”  Who knew?

Far Left Rallies in Austin
  - by an ACAT team member
On the eve of SXSW, members of the far Left who want to nationalize natural resources and banking are holding a rally in Austin. They define themselves as Patriot Socialists who are Anti-Imperialist and Anti-Capitalist. They are extremely well read Marxist Leninist Maoist academics. I anticipate Red Guard Austin attending this event tomorrow. There will be heavy security and they are asking for a $20 donation. They have a chapter in San Angelo, TX. The Islamic arm of this group will also be in attendance and speaking. Caleb Maupin states that the U.S. is in a state of capitalist monopoly. They denounce violent revolution, but advocate for a complete redesign of the globe under Communist ideology. I would like to hear just how they think that is going to happen this time in history in this country, and what in their view are the steps that have already been achieved, and what is to come. Austin reflects this change appearing to be a crash test dummy. It's hard to miss at this point. - Lauren Morris 3/11/22

  • Who are the tyrants? 
    There are people who are convinced of the wickedness both of armies and of police forces, but who are nevertheless much more intolerant and inquisitorial in outlook than the normal person who believes that it is necessary to use violence in certain circumstances. They will not say to somebody else, ‘Do this, that and the other or you will go to prison’, but they will, if they can, get inside his brain and dictate his thoughts for him in the minutest particulars. Creeds like pacifism and anarchism, which seem on the surface to imply a complete renunciation of power, rather encourage this habit of mind. For if you have embraced a creed which appears to be free from the ordinary dirtiness of politics — a creed from which you yourself cannot expect to draw any material advantage — surely that proves that you are in the right? And the more you are in the right, the more natural that everyone else should be bullied into thinking likewise.

New Developments
  • Open Assault on Religion and American Principles
    • Formerly, Antifa/BLM used Donald Trump, George Floyd, and white supremacy as excuses for their violent activities.  Now, they are directly targeting American principles and religion.
      • Antifa groups storm constitutionalist organization’s protest against COVID mandates in Boston - “Death to Fascism”
      • Hundreds of Antifa protesters disrupt pro-life prayer vigil at the University of North Texas (UNT) in Denton
        • New wrinkle: ‘Death to Cristo-Fascists’ - 'F*#k Your God!'
  • Opportunistic Targeting
    • Formerly, the black bloc would assemble, the medics and lawyers would all be in place, and the demonstration would begin.  Now, Antifa is encouraging its members to strike spontaneously to capitalize on moments of crisis.
    • The model comes from the musings of anarchists who were near the Pentagon on 9/11:
      • “we had to compose some sort of anarchist response, and quick”
      • “A thought came upon us. This was our once-in-a-lifetime chance. We could run into the Pentagon. Who knows what we might find? In theory, we could destroy computers, steal files, wreak all sorts of havoc. With no police presence, we might even be able to get away. A quick look at Colin and it was clear he was thinking the same thing. I leaned over to his ear and whispered to him. ‘Should we do it?’” (but more police were arriving, so they left, instead)
      • Nothing came of these musings, but here are the implications:
        Antifa is deliberately attempting to create a lethal capability in its movement and cells by promoting spontaneity of operations during strategic crises such as 9/11. These operational capabilities can significantly escalate the violence during national or local crises, as well as increase the damage during riots and periods of instability, as Antifa encourages its members to attack targets of opportunity during crisis moments.

A hundred anarchists hit 35 buildings, smash windows, set fires, cause half a million dollars in property damage in fresh riots in Portland
  • Graffiti: "Breaking windows is good."
  • Andy Ngo: “this week antifa projected their paramilitary emblem on the front of Portland’s Justice Center before destroying part of downtown again”
  • Anarchists laid down in front of police cars to keep police from responding
  • Police blame new state legislation for inability to respond effectively; legislor says there is an exception for riots and blames activist attorneys for deliberately misinterpreting the legislation; police say they have to follow the most restrictive interpretation until the city attorney gives some clarity
  • No, Antifa did not go away.  You can see they can turn out in great numbers at any time, and their tactics are evolving. 
  • We’ve had two previous periods of radical left-wing violence in U.S. history - the 1870-1920s anarchist period and the 1960-1970s New Left period.  I believe we are in beginning of another round of left-wing radical violence.  What’s different this time:  politicians and the Washington establishment, starting with the FBI and DHS, are complicit.  Subversive authorities will not stop these riots or even investigate Antifa’s activities.  They purposely deflect with the phony white supremacy narrative.  ACAT is working to raise awareness and to build the political will necessary to take down the radical violent Left.

How British Police Shut Down the Original UK Antifa
  • police monitored group members and combed through CCTV footage to track their movements
  • they infiltrated groups and identified associates through phone records
  • when they had enough evidence, they obtained warrants and raided locations
  • they made as many arrests as possible to keep the network from functioning
  • they got restrictive bail conditions imposed preventing defendants from meeting with more than two other people at a time
  • those convicted were split up and sent to separate prisons
  • As you can see, it’s not rocket science, but it does take political will!

FBI tells Congress it does not consider Antifa an “organization,” so it does not keep track of Antifa’s extremist violence
  • This is astounding.  Antifa and BLM mobs rioted all over the country (including 100 straight nights in Portland), caused a billion dollars in property damage, destroyed 1,500 businesses and buildings, and injured 700 police officers, but our increasingly bizarre FBI doesn’t consider Antifa worth tracking.  The fact that Antifa is a network of groups that coordinate instead of a single organization is irrelevant. ACAT’s Antifa Action Group has gathered enough open source material to show Antifa is continuing to marshal support, preparing to escalate to guerilla warfare, and laying plans to attack critical infrastructure.  Sound far-fetched?  Recently, two far-left activists from Washington state associated with Antifa were convicted in federal court for a November 2020 attempt to derail trains.  Antifa’s preparations are no secret, but the nation’s premier law enforcement agency can’t be bothered.  A storm is coming.  Antifa’s goal is to overthrow the U.S. government, but law enforcement has fallen down on the job.  Help ACAT spread the word by inviting us to speak about Antifa to your group - we’ll appear anywhere through videoconferencing and there are no speaker fees.  Contact us at mail@spider-and-the-fly.com

Antifa murdered Aaron ‘Jay’ Danielson and now his estate is suing Portland, its mayor, and the county D.A. for hands-off approach to rioting

Trained Marxist and BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors - who has since moved on to capitalist book and TV deals - wants to abolish police, prisons, and courts entirely; channeling Marx who advocated “the ruthless criticism of all that exists”
  • From author Paul Kengor to ACAT:  “This makes a crucial point about the BLM police ‘abolition’ movement and how that connects to Marxist theory. I’ve wanted to make this point for a while, but Patrisse Cullors’ recent statement now makes it imperative. She’s taking it to another level.”
  • No, they’re not kidding:  An Antifa pamphlet urges readers, “Therefore, while it may sometimes even be necessary to set police on fire, this should not be done out of a spirit of vengeful self-righteousness, but from a place of care and compassion—if not for the police themselves, at least for all who would otherwise suffer at their hands.” (Crimethinc, “Seven Myths about the Police,” 2020).  BURN THE POLICE FROM A PLACE OF COMPASSION - These people are nuts!

ANTIFA UPDATE - Portland Public School Attack
MARTIN SCOTT CATINO, PH.D.
ANTI-COMMUNISM ACTION TEAM
MARCH 20, 2021
 
RE: ANTIFA in Portland, Oregon area escalating violence
 
EVENT: “The Portland Public Schools headquarters was the target of both an arson attack and various vandalism during the early morning hours of March 6th.
 
“Among the destruction at the building was various spray painted taggings – including one tagging with the phrase “No Justice, No Peace”. [See https://www.lawenforcementtoday.com/now-violent-anarchists-are-targeting-schools-portland-public-school-hq-hit-with-arson-and-vandalism/]
 
SUMMARY:
 
The escalation of operations and of target selection of ANTIFA in the Portland area follow an organized phasing of operations in accordance with organizational growth and freedom of movement in permissive political and geographical space.
 
ANTIFA in the Portland, Oregon area demonstrates increasing capabilities to escalate violence, phase operations to more violent actions, select high value targets including a public-school headquarters, develop dispersed and associate organizations such as the Youth Liberation Front, and coordinate international operations via social media. This development is due in large part to its organizational gains in recruitment from the summer of 2020 and afterward, refinement of tactics from recent street activities, and increasing operational space implicitly granted by Mayor Edward (Ted) Wheeler and other local political leaders, and the failure of Federal, state, and local law enforcement to prevent or interdict ANTIFA’s mobilization for attacks. Often these mobilizations are openly announced on social media, and at times followed by coordination meetings at public parks, trainings at specified locations, and gatherings at other physical locations where final stage planning, logistics, and tactical considerations occur.
 
CRITICAL DEVELOPMENTS:
 
1. Target escalation. Deliberate targeting of a public-school headquarters with graffiti messaging, arson attacks, and coordinated information operations demonstrates the malign character and phasing of operations of ANTIFA in its base area: Portland, Oregon. The targeting of a school headquarters is thus an emerging threat to be considered for its danger to public safety, indication of organizational growth, and increasing escalation of violence by ANTIFA.
 
2. Decentralized organization and high operability. The decentralized nature of ANTIFA's organization is an advanced capability of terrorist groups, which choose this formation in countries where state authority has breadth (wide geographical presence; and manpower density per mile). This arson attack illustrates this fact.
 
3. Tactical level organization. The Youth Liberation Front (YLF) appears to be emerging as a more active and prominent player in the operational environment and therefore is worthy of consideration by the public and security community. The YLF’s multiple and dispersed locations allow it to cover not only larger cities but also diverse geographical regions. If the YLF continues to take an increasing role in violence, the activity thus demonstrates the planning, phasing, and organizational growth of ANTIFA.
 
4. International connection and inspiration. The UK-based Green Anti-capitalist Media capability of coordinating operations through social media messaging demonstrates the nature of decentralized organizations like ANTIFA and its international reach. 
 
5. Adversary vulnerabilities. The use of "workshops" as a planning (final stages), mobilization, coordination platform before attacks is a vulnerability of ANTIFA. Law Enforcement (Federal, State, and Local) can and should implement Florida-like laws to arrest conspiracies like these which are both visible and vulnerable. Thus the counter terrorism, counter-ANTIFA laws are critical for preventing these terrorist events.  Active surveillance by LEOs (law enforcement officers) of social media is thus a critical operation for public security as it has been on Islamic terrorist groups like Al Qaeda and the Islamic State. The permissiveness given to ANTIFA is clearly demonstrated in the lack of preventive action taken against ANTIFA by law enforcement. 
 
6. The strategic activist must be encouraged to report. Activist Andy Ngo played a prominent role in the news event by clearly documenting the vandalism, arson, and terrorism were not random or criminal but the work of ANTIFA, evident in the graffiti using the ANTIFA “A” symbol as well as messaging matching social media from the group. Left to either government or mainstream media, strategic and critical events like this one would be minimized, underreported, and outright misrepresented. Citizen responsibility to observe, report, and distribute information on ANTIFA, as demonstrated by activists like Ngo, is thus strategic in value and should be encouraged.

State Antifa Laws
Antifa is a serious threat to the constitutional order.  The threat is being addressed through legislation in at least three states.  The legislation raises criminal penalties, addresses Antifa’s funding, and holds elected officials accountable for allowing far-left radicals to run amok in their cities with impunity.

Please consider introducing laws to counter Antifa in your state, or lending your support if efforts are already underway.

Utah Senate Bill 138 Would Punish Antifa Rioters and Its Accomplices in Government
by Martin Scott Catino, Ph.D. Anticommunism Action Team Speakers Bureau

SUMMARY: Utah Senate Bill 138, Violence, Disorder, and Looting Enforcement Protection Act, is far more than a good idea providing relief for Utah as it suffers from escalating Left wing violence from Black Lives Matter (BLM) and ANTIFA—among other groups. The Bill is also a good idea that could benefit the security of all Americans. The proposed legislation addresses key problems that are national: the freedom to riot (not protest); impunity for rioters; government complicity by granting impunity and leniency to rioters and criminals; violence against police and military (National Guard) during civil disturbances; the destruction of private property; and the entanglement of two opposing concepts: civil liberties to peacefully protest; and civil disturbances masked as “peaceful protests.” 

As importantly, the Bill details the criminal acts of protesters and thereby censures harassment, agitation, intimidation, throwing “saliva, blood, urine, or fecal material,” and other criminal acts often not prosecuted by local, state, and national government entities. The proposal adds teeth to its measures by holding local government accountable, increasing penalties for civil disturbances, and allowing the state to deny bail and benefits to offenders. Utah SB 138 is also a testimony of the importance of community action; the United Citizen Alarm, a professed Constitutional advocacy organization, fostered the legal action.

KEY ACTIONS: While protecting the right to peacefully protest, the Bill proposes to immediately address street level violence by:
1. INCREASING PUNISHMENT OF RIOTERS. The Bill “increases penalties for the crime of rioting under certain circumstances. . . .”
2. HOLDING COMPLICIT GOVERNMENTS ACCOUNTABLE. The Bill “provides that a victim of a crime during a riot may sue a local governmental entity for damages if the local government is grossly negligent in protecting private property. . . .”
3. PENALIZING KEY TACTICS OF RIOTERS. The Bill “increases the penalty for harassment. . . .”
4. PROTECTING LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND MILITARY.  The Bill “enhances the penalty for assaulting a peace officer during a riot. . . .”
5. PREVENTING RELEASE OF DANGEROUS RIOTERS.  The Bill “provides that a person may be denied bail if charged with rioting. . . .”
6. PENALIZING AND PUNISHING RIOTERS.  The Bill “makes an individual convicted of rioting ineligible for certain state benefits or assistance. . . .”

CONCLUSION: Utah Senate Bill 138 addresses critical problems associated with Left Wing and other civil disturbances that are creating national unrest, public safety issues, impunity for violent protesters, and erosion of the rule of law in favor of mob rule. The stipulations of the proposed legislation highlight the importance of holding government and rioters accountable, criminalizing violent street tactics, and protecting law enforcement officers, military, businesses, and the local community. Without legal action against violent protesters and complicit government entities, and protection of law enforcement and local communities, radical violence will continue to threaten our Constitutional freedoms and public safety.

But her embittered words against “the police who are all racists” slid out of her  mouth smoothly one morning in History class, howbeit trailing her own understanding of her intense emotions and ideas like “structural racism”— the pernicious theory giving support to the brutal images of violent police connected ever so artificially and out of context on social media, the parallel world of the young whose finger tips access phones and computers allowing easy travel between the material and cyber realms.  Her words glided across her fellow dough-faced classmates who likewise struggled to understand these complexities.  The dozen or so students in the class divided neatly during her combative dialogue on the police: a third opposed her; another third timidly doubted her; and the remainder smiled in support—and later spoke with similar invective.

But Samantha and her classmates soon had a change of heart—most but not all. As the History teacher I knew it was my responsibility to connect her and others in class to the realities of the world around her. Using Prager University videos and others, I introduced Samantha and the class to video testimonies of the police who are so vilified, the Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA “protesters” who the media lionizes, and the grieving families, friends, and communities victimized by these terrorists like ANTIFA and BLM. Stripped of  media images, propaganda slogans, and outright disinformation, these testimonies are revealing—and even startling as the facial expressions in class exposed. The student attitudes of hate, despair, and confusion soon  evaporated with one exception. Three heavy measures of truth, two handfuls of love, and one large cup of mercy is the recipe I offer for other educators facing similar situations in their classes.
