Antifa is no longer a hate group. They have now stepped over into domestic terrorism. But, for some reason, the reactions to the last couple of weeks seems to be ignored by the left and the mainstream media (which actually are the same thing). But this brings up a bigger question: are we heading to a civil war? What would one these days look like? Let’s talk about it.

 

The Escalation of Domestic Terrorism

On Friday evening, anti-ICE protesters gathered at an ICE facility in Aurora, Colorado, one that held illegal aliens. The protest was held to protest on the ICE raids that were suppose to go into affect that weekend. At first, it started out peaceful enough. But as the protest continued, another set of protesters joined the group and started trouble. The Light of Liberty organization had no intention of doing anything more than chant in protest. But the other group had something else in mind.

The other set of protesters passed through the tape that was meant to prevent them from entering the facility and replaced the US flag with a Mexican flag. They then defaced the American flag with the words “Abolish ICE” and raised the flag upside down. Take a look at the news story below.

 

A couple of things about this. I am not against allowing for flag burning. We have the right to free speech and I think it should be allowed. That doesn’t mean I support it. Anyone burns a flag in front of me better be ready for a bit of a tussle. But this situation is not exercising free speech. This occurred on government property and those flags were owned, not by ICE, but by the citizens of the United States. What these people were doing is a crime. And these radicals walked right up to a facility filled with armed guards and vandalized government property. Can you imagine the balls on these people? What would have happened if ICE decided to enforce the law and arrest these people? Unfortunately, they didn’t. They just let them blow off steam until they left.

Imagine celebrating a country whose primary export is human trafficking and its second biggest export is drugs. A country whose main commodities in human suffering. Now, imagine another country, the one who is at the crap end of the stick in this deal, has citizens that celebrate this crap hole country by raising this country’s flag, replacing their own flag. Then, desecrating our flag and raising it upside down. That’s what happened. Mexico deals in human trafficking and drugs. It is one of the most violent countries in the world, surpassing Iraq and Afghanistan. It is one of the most corrupt countries, allowing drug dealers like El Chapo escape from a high security prison and turning their backs when he is dealing drugs and killing its citizens.

It’s disgusting. But I do need to give the Light of Liberty organization credit. They saw what was happening and left because a mob they were not. I may not believe in anything the Life of Liberty organization believes in but I will party with them anytime. That is a class organization embracing their First Amendment rights.

 

Domestic Terror Attack

On Saturday, a radical anarchist and Antifa member walked up to and ICE detention center in Tacoma, Washington at four in the morning. He was armed with a rifle, Molotov cocktails and flares. He started throwing the Molotov cocktails over the fence at the ICE facility. He caused some damage. But the Tacoma police department was alerted. They showed up and engaged the subject. He was shot and killed. No law enforcement officers were hurt and there was minimal damage. Well, unless it was your car that was damaged.

The domestic terrorist was 69-year-old Willem Van Spronsen. He had been in a protest the day before and his attack came before another protest later in the morning. He had an arrest record, including assaulting a police officer in an Antifa protest. Apparently, while the officer was breaking a fight up, he grabbed the officer by the throat. Below is a news report about the incident.

This is not a good guy. It may seem callous but I’m glad he’s dead. But what’s disturbing about this is that Antifa, which is short for anti-fascist, is becoming more violent. It was just a week and a half ago that the same Antifa protest, which included  Van Spronsen, seriously injured journalist Andy Ngo (who is Asian and gay). You may remember the video but here it is again so one can see the brutality of this group:

This was not a reactionary or spontaneous attack. Ngo heard that he was going to be a target but went anyway. He did that because that’s what journalists do. He was punched and kicked. They threw milk shakes at him, which is the new thing. One of the milk shakes was filled with liquefied cement. He suffered from a brain bleed and had to be hospitalized for several days. The police were told to stand down by the liberal mayor because he was afraid the police would escalate the tension. I guess the police were needed for Antifa to escalate the violence.

I also pointed out that Ngo was Asian and gay and I did that for a reason. Notice all the masked cowards are white. This is a big deal because, though they scream about minority rights, they have no problem attacking a minority if he goes against their belief system.

Notice I am not making fun of this? There is nothing funny about this. In fact, this is kind of scary.

 

Reaction

So far, the reaction to this domestic terrorist attack has been disgusting. There has been absolutely no mention of this attack from the leftist media. CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS and NBC all ignored the story. As far as CNN, I’m not surprised. CNN has always given Antifa a pass as I have said before. And I know why they do not want to talk about this attack. When Omar Mateen attacked the Pulse nightclub, they had no problem calling out the bigoted attack on gays by an American citizen for three weeks, though Mateen was an ISIS sympathizer that had patronized the club on multiple occasions (he was a closet gay!). They could spin the Pulse nightclub terrorist attack. They can’t spin this one.

W. Kamau Bell of CNN did a documentary where he showed admiration for a viscous Antifa member. He even admired what she did and the weapons she carries. He asked her question, she answered and he never pushed back. This was a propaganda film. Needless to say, CNN got things wrong (again) and they could not report the truth for fear of showing their true colors. Take a look at a snippet of the “documentary.” I wanted to publish the entire documentary, the one I saw, but couldn’t find it. I’m not surprised. Because Willem Van Spronsen was pictured in it. He belonged to the same group that the crazy chick Bell interviewed. In fact, Van Spronsen was actually filmed in the documentary. Below is a clip of Bell interviewing one of the Antifa leaders. In this clip, Bell is amazed at the weapons this nut-job carries with her on a daily basis. Watch:

Is it a wonder why CNN won’t report on this? Listen to the language Bell uses. He he calls this chick “legendary” and he actually has nothing but respect for her. And what the hell is an anarcho-communist? They are two totally conflicting ideologies. Also, fascism is not a right-wing ideology. It is closer to communism than anything the right has. The right (not the alt-right, they are fascists) believes in free enterprise and human rights. Communism doesn’t.

But this is the hypocrisy of Bell. If Antifa was only attacking the alt-right idiots, I probably wouldn’t care. But they don’t. They attack anyone who doesn’t agree with them. Andy Ngo is an gay Asian. He’s hardly alt-right. But he’s a conservative and does not agree with the philosophy of Antifa.

Bell is a communist. He does believe in what Antifa does. So his love affair with them is not surprising. But CNN is filled with people who believe Antifa is on the right side of history. Listen to Don Lemon justify Antifa:

What an idiot! Just because I say I am six foot four doesn’t mean I’m six foot four (I’m actually short). This is the dumbest reason to justify Antifa. Chris Cuomo says the same thing. Is it a wonder why these stations do not report an instance of domestic terrorism that involved Antifa?

But what about our politicians? For sure they will condemn domestic terrorism, even the far leftists who hate ICE must say something, right? Let’s watch a journalist from Rebel Media ask the leftist members of Congress if they condemn Antifa:

Crickets. I will say that AoC did condemn the attack later when asked by the Daily Mail but it took her a while. I don’t understand why it is so hard for these people just to condemn a terrorist attack. No, that’s not true. I completely understand.

Two weeks ago, I made a rather bold statement. In fact, I wasn’t sure I should back away from the statement because it seemed a bit extreme. I called Antifa the Brown Shirts of the left. For those who don’t remember, the Brown Shirts were Hitler’s personal police force and were charged with enforcing Hitler’s policies and doing away with his enemies and detractors. I stated that Antifa was there to promote the radical beliefs of AoC and her minions in any way, including violence. The left’s rejection to condemn Antifa’s terror shows that I may not be far off in my theory.”

Antifa also had a statement about the attack. They called Van Spronsen a “comrade” and a “martyr.”  But, what is scarier, is that they have called for more action like the one Van Spronsen took. I’m not really sure how he Southern Poverty Law Center sees ICE as a hate group but refuses to acknowledge these cowardly thugs.

The future of this country could be very dark.

 

Civil War?

There has been a lot of talk about the United States heading toward another civil war. I hate to say it but it looks like that might be the case.

Our political climate does not allow for debate. We do not discuss the issues. Instead we call each other names. Indeed, some issues are very hard to find common ground. Abortion is an example of this. An anti-abortionist, such as myself, will have a hard time accepting the left’s premise that one can kill a baby to the point that the baby is in the birth canal. Likewise, a pro-abortionist will never surrender to the idea that abortion is killing a child. There is not middle ground. The two sides are way too polarized. Unfortunately, it’s not just abortion. Illegal immigration, religion, gender, medicare for all, socialism, economic equality and climate change are just a few policies where the opposite sides are so polarized that there is no discussion. As passions grow so does anger. It starts with arguing, then yelling, then mob violence and, finally, domestic terrorism against one’s “enemies.”

So, could we be heading to civil war? We might already be there. A civil war today will not be geographic like it was during the first Civil War from 1861-1865. It will be ideological. There will be more protests and those protests will get violent. People may die. There will be domestic terror attacks. People who voice opinions that counter those who are radical, whether that be on the right or left, will be attacked. The alt-left and alt-right will grow because the extreme ideas and threats of violence will attract people who want to express their ideas but also want the protections of a mob. Alt-right groups like the Proud Boys will grow and as Antifa joins these protests, the Proud Boys will also show up. Riots will commence like the one in Charlottesville and people will get hurt and die.

Good news is, this war will not affect most people who do not participate in these protests. You know, most of the people who actually have jobs. But we will have to worry about what we wear. We will have to worry about what we say in public. We might even have to worry about what we can’t control. To Antifa, being white, male, wealthy or religious is considered part of the capitalist hierarchy. No kidding. How many videos are on the Internet where someone is assaulted because he’s wearing a red hat?

Well, I don’t know what’s going to happen but I’m sure glad we have the Second Amendment.
