Intro

While the purpose of this account is tracking the Coming Civil War through news and analysis, I think we have to dig a little deeper into some of the players. So let's start off with an overview of antifa, a de-centralized set of leftists street thugs.

I'm @stevescoins, and I'm going to have to break this down into two parts for easier consumption.

Antifa History

(See Part Two)

Anti-White Racism

Like the double lie that all white people that are nationalists are "white nationalists", and are the same thing as "white supremacists", Antifa members are virulently racist against white people. This racism is part of the leftist dogma of "privilege" and "oppression"

In their own words...

Whiteness Is Indefensible (13)

This despite the bulk of their leadership is white (echoing the 60s and 70s, in which privileged white leftist terrorists ("red diaper babies") used their supposed concern for minorities as an excuse to murder Americans in general...including minorities.

Organization

They claim to have no leader and no hierarchy, but authorities following them believe they are organized via decentralized networks of cells that coordinate with each other. (11)

They are organized like militias. They actively train and practice their operations. They have discipline and zero tolerance for weakness. They have a number of former military personnel providing expertise to enhance security, logistics and martial arts capabilities. The majority are physical fit, military age males. They are primarily white with few minority members. Their leadership tends to be either former military, a proven leader from the occupy movement or a highly educated alpha-male. (25)

Summary of Actions

(see Part Two)

Alignment with Democrat Party/Media/Front Groups

Antifa can be considered...

The Left's 'Muscle' on American Streets (2)

Consider the Democrat Party as only the tip of the Leftist subversion of this country. (For the purposes of this post, I'll stay away from the globalist portion of this subversion; suffice it to say that while globalists and "big corporations" are supposedly the avowed enemy of antifa, antifa never attacks them, and they never attack antifa).

Behind the infiltration of academia, burrocracy, education, and media, there exists a web of leftist groups (5). These can be NGOs or private entities like Soros, whose connection to antifa ranges from funding to legal protection. (6)

The Big Tech companies aligned with have allowed antifa to PUBLICLY call for and organize violence (22)(23)(24)

In the cases of the USA and Europe, the News Media is complicit with the State in perpetuating the Big Lie. That is why a decade before DJ Trump became President, I asserted in talk shows and articles that the News Media in the West is the “Enemy of the People”.
Iq al-Rassooli, Scholar & Terrorism Analyst(3)

Steven Crowder had documentation exposing antifa violence, however

mainstream media journalists who were apparently not interested in his material.
(7)

One CNN headline infamously saying, “ANTIFA Seeks Peace Through Violence.” might explain the Ministry of Truth's motives in suppressing information

See Part Two for additional, specific connections between the Democrat Party and antifa

Alignment with Islamic Terror

The Left and the Jihadis both hate America. They are both internationalists. They both have contempt for borders; for nation states. And they hate the United States as being the foremost obstacle to their vision for the world.(2)

One of the primary targets for antifa intimidation terror is the defense of America against Islamic infiltration. (3)(8)(12)

Tactics

“These antifa guys were showing up with weapons, shields and bike helmets and just beating the shit out of people. … They’re using Molotov cocktails, they’re starting fires, they’re throwing bombs and smashing windows.”
senior law enforcement official tracking domestic extremists (11)

handmade weapons used by antifa, with photos of members brandishing ax handles and shields, often with industrial-sized bolts attached to create crude bayonets. (11)

This is the "end game" of antifa tactics, but make no mistake in thinking that antifa are mindless thugs. Following from their organization, antifa is quite capable of "preparing the battlefield"

pre-operational planning, to include organizing carpools to travel from different locations, raising bail money in preparation for arrests, counter-surveilling law enforcement using three-man scout teams, using handheld radios for communication, and coordinating the event via social media (11)

Remember, overt violence is only ONE mode on the spectrum of war...antifa tactics also include:

• Doxing (1)(19)
• Arson (4)
• Property destruction (4)
• Intimidation (4)
• Assault (4)(7)
• Armed assault (4)(7)
• Bombings (4)(15)
• Attacks on police (11)(14)(16)(18)
• use protests as cover for direct action (14)(18)
• Informationwar (18)(19)
• “Black Blocs” where participants dress uniformly in black clothing including facial coverings. Uniformity aids in the concealment of
  participants' identities to evade arrest.
• Sabotage, including of rail lines (21)
• Social media as an organization tool (24)
• Throwing bags of urine and feces

So here we are, 25 references in and only scratching the surface of the left's brownshirts. I'll let this data simmer in your brain, and we'll pick up with Part Two in the near future.

You either keep a boot on the neck of the Left, or rest assured, they WILL put one on yours
