The Dirty Tricks of Antifa

Before I get into antifa tactics, I hope you all realize that any protesting after dark while cities are burning to the ground is very dangerous and counter-productive. We have all seen the horrific video of George Floyd's death and you probably want to show support, it's understandable. But there is no real advantage to protesting at night, unless you are willing to act as a human-shield for criminals who wish to vandalize and loot. Even if you aren't protesting at night there is a chance that individuals can start the destruction early, trying to turn your protest into a riot. You must be prepared to detain these people and deliver them to the cops since the police often stand-by for some reason. It might not be feasible to actually do this, but if you have a plan to do it and spread it around then that in itself will deter antifa and other proxy actors from attempting violence in your demonstration. The better option is just to let them have their own protest and work for justice in other ways until we are invited. 

The real concern of this post is protecting those who are committed to fighting the ongoing  lockdowns this summer. The cells of Soros-funded goons are being activated to make it hard to participate in any political activity that antifa wants to disrupt. Where and when the attacks will come is hard to say, it may be that there are smaller numbers of paid anarchists than it appears from the footage I've seen. But whether it is in Syracuse, Rochester, or elsewhere, I'm quite sure that antifa will target us heavily, just as they targeted patriots in the last Presidential election-year. Those attacks were very effective, even though the ultimate goal was not. They were able to carry-out their goals of de-platforming speakers (now including the current tenant of the White House who can't even put many ads on Youtube), making their enemies look foolish, and getting the police involved on their side. This summer they already have several advantages that they will be keen to use. Now that masks are required they can blend in with peaceful crowd and still maintain anonymity (yet another reason we all should ditch the masks). And there is the lockdown itself, which has put people into a confused and fearful state. Fearful people are vulnerable to their psychological operations that are then echoed by the press (for example, the media currently blaming "White supremacists" for antifa operations, a lie that would be scoffed at normally). They will use all the accumulated ills of the lockdown and the "new-normal" to advantage as they cause havoc and spread disinformation. Antifa's primary weapon is propaganda and disinformation; though they will use force if they can isolate someone, it is the fear of their attacks that provokes a response they can use against us. For all their talk of "direct action" they mainly get others to do the dirty work: they get the cops to attack people after baiting them, they get the locals to loot and smash after starting fires. By remaining calm and unified we can defuse this strategy and make them look like the maniacs that they are.

Their most basic strategy is to hide among a mass of regular counter-protesters and notch-up the chaos by degree. It is pretty hard to tell the paid goons from the useful idiots, so you have to treat them all as dangerous. They may start "discussions" that are just excuses to scream and try to get a reaction. While your attention is on the person making all the noise, the more daring will attack from behind, snatching purses and phones, swinging a weapon and macing. If the strategy works they will get someone to pursue and then surround that person. While this is happening others film from different angles so that the shots can be selectively edited to make us look like the aggressor. As soon as you step out from your group you can be sure that there is a camera angle that will make it look like you are the attacker. So the first principle of defense is to stay in a tight group when they are near. If you have to strike back in defense, only do it from the established position. This makes it hard for them to use editing since the lone person always looks like the one on offense compared to the group just standing there. 

Remember, they are not trying to win a fight. You can win physically and still lose by looking like the "bad guy" since the media will always parrot their claims of victim-hood. The photos might also be sent to employers or the police. If an antifa member is injured they won't heistate to go crying to the "man" and try and get charges pressed. Then the liberal prosecutors will gather all the antifa video evidence that they are fed and often lay on further charges like "inciting a riot" or even hate-crimes. If you have spent time training with your friends to defend against antifa they can even use that against you in NYS under new laws targeting "militias." Basically any organized training of a vaguely martial sort is akin to terrorism in Cuomo-Land. I'm pretty sure you can learn one-on-one martial arts still (but only if you're a liberal). Either way, we have to accept that this isn't a physical fight and physical victory is not our goal. Antifa are weak and anemic from consuming soy for years so they have developed other strategies out of necessity.

Another way to get individuals isolated from the group is by throwing rocks and bottles, escalating the situation until the cops intervene. Both sides will have to clear-out, but it is a victory for them because it's not their event. After disrupting the event via police intervention they will try and isolate people on their way back to their cars for some more assault, theft, and photo-ops. The event has to break-up in groups and then carpool to vehicles that are farther away so everyone can make it out together. If the police are aggressive that might be tough, so always try and get a read on the mood of the cops and plan an exit accordingly. Patriot groups have good relationships with the police, but antifa plays the role of victim of police collusion so the cops are limited in how friendly they can be. You never know what their orders are going to be from day to day as different layers of advisers are sent in that can be hostile, so be ready for betrayal.

It's helpful to think of antifa as a paramilitary wing of the government, as they often are on the payroll of an "alphabet agency" like the FBI or NGOs with links to the Democrats. I'm sure everyone has seen the servile behavior that politicians display towards these "heroes," with the media lapping it up! Our tactics have to reflect the reality that this is not a fair fight. You wouldn't want to fight the police with conventional means, so why expect to win against antifa through superior force? They will just run away and claim victim-hood. On the other hand, if no one stands up to them at all then they claim victory and use that to demoralize their opponents. This is why the key is preparation and remaining calm. 

Preparing for antifa attacks is very difficult because the media will always side with them and pressure the cops as well. We can never bring anything that can be construed as a weapon or wear anything that looks like it is intended for a fight. If you show up in home-made armor they will claim that you came with the intention to brawl and were never peacefully assembling in the first place, no matter that someone got brained with a liquor bottle last week! In some events in Washington State last summer Patriot Prayer (a multi-racial group of Christian Patriots that the media believes are Nazis) did manage to secure police protection for their rallies, with a barricade and separation between them and antifa. However, in order to enter the designated rally zone the Patriots were subjected to search and anything that could possibly be used as a weapon was confiscated. Antifa, as an un-permitted counter-protest, did not enter the area and were not searched. Thus, when people left the event they were met with an armed mob following them to their cars. The only defense for Patriots these days is courage and unity!

Before you go to an event, if you suspect antifa may appear, check with yourself mentally: how willing are you to be on the front line? You have to want to do it gladly and with love as your first motivation.  Remember, it's not just about how physically strong you are or if you would enjoy a confrontation. It's about making our movement look good. If you can't smile and be 100% civil then you should try to stay away from contact zones. It's easy to make these lunatics look bad if we keep our noses clean and have a good time! 

If you think you can turn the other cheek mentally and serve as a front-line protector then be careful to dress in light colors, preferably sporting some red/white/blue. Check yourself from shoulders-up and make sure there is some color there, that's a shot they can easily manipulate to confuse people on social media. You don't want to look scary, and you don't want to be mistaken for antifa in an edited picture or video clip. If the Patriots come wearing a lot of black and tactical camo then they can use that to reverse the narrative. For example, in several Trump rallies elderly Patriots were brutally assaulted by antifa thugs who dressed like some of the more edgy Patriots in the crowd, those pictures were then distributed by the media under the headlines of "Trump Supporters Turn Violent," and other absurdities. People see what they want to believe, so those photos were passed-around social media and eventually smeared an entire political movement to this day. Even just a little flag pin on your hat can make a big difference, antifa would never dream of wearing that!

Other items to bring is eye protection, a sturdy hat, and non-threatening gloves. I've heard golfing gloves are good for blocking attacks, but I'm no golfer so let me know if that is the case. You'll want to have enough bags to be able to pack your stuff up pretty fast so that you can stay together easily. Never bring any signs that can be misconstrued. Recently a protester in Michigan made a sign that said "Hiel Whitmer" with an Iron Cross, which was shot from a distance and used to fabricate the narrative that the protesters were neo-Nazis. This smear has stuck sadly and they are using it to trot-out that useful bugbear again in the antifa/BLM riots, claiming that the antifa provocateurs are in fact Nazis in disguise! That one sign may have been more damaging than bringing guns.

That's about all I have for the moment. It is going to be a tough summer, but we have to focus on having fun and sticking to our message and our faith. Antifa have no faith and their "message" is abhorrent to normal people once they see that the "fascists" that antifa are forever battling are just normal people after-all. The BLM protesters are getting wise to the scam too and we might just get to sit back and munch on some popcorn as they deal with antifa in their own way!
