DHS Chief: Feds ‘Targeting And Investigating’ Heads Of BLM, Antifa And Those Who Fund Them
2020-09-02
We asked, and now will receive. I’ll bake if someone stocks the bar in the O Club for a proper celebration with lashings of schadenfreude.
[DailyWire] Acting Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Chad Wolf told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson on Monday night that the Department of Justice (DOJ) was investigating the heads of Black Lives Matter and Antifa
...the armed wing of the Democratic Party...
 over the violent mostly peaceful rioting that has broken out in Democratic-controlled cities across the United States.

Wolf began the segment by noting that 77-year-old Democratic presidential nominee Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Candidate for president in 2020. Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant...
 was "delusional" after Biden suggested today that there would be more violence if Trump won re-election.

#11  On the comparison w Al Qaeda: BLM-Antifa haven't (yet) learned the arts of secret societies, subterfuge, disinformation and taqqiyah.

Every other modern insurrection - Russian 19c anarchists and 20c bolaheviks; Chinese tongs; Muslim Brotherhood; other 20c commie movements across the 3rd World - mastered the art of concealment. Mao instructed his followers to blend in with the countryside, to join the majority population and "swim like fish in the sea."

But our BLM Antifa shitheads love their social media. They do the exact opposite of every other modern revolutionary movement: operate in the open and attack the people instead of the State. Kill shopkeepers instead of tech oligarchs. Attack the poor folk instead of Pelosi and other tools.

This is the stupidest rebellion we've ever seen. How could it possibly have lasted so long, if not for the authorities' active refusal to crush it?

#10  BLM & Antifa organize openly: on Instagram and a dozen other open public social media platforms.

They raise funds publicly and openly: online and through registered charities and foundations and PACs. Total sums raised this far > &1 billion

Their physical movements and physical meetups around and across the United States are open and obvious -- usually they announce them in advance.

This is domestic Al Qaeda -- operating in broad daylight and telegraphed in advance.

Why wasn't this amateur, stupid, hidden-in-plain-sight Insurrection crushed months ago?

= still more evidence of sedition / dereliction on the part of the FBI and blue-city Soros-backed local prosecutors

#9  I've been hearing that the Portland festivities are mostly restricted to a five/six block radius area.

If so, how hard can it be to track the transports?

How hard can it be to track down the perps?

Just follow Andy Ngo's Twitter feed.


Let me know when these people are even suffering what Mike Flynn is suffering, let alone something far worse and more richly deserved.

As it is, it's pretty obvious that they're protected, and that the Deep State is running out the clock to November.

#7  Unleash the NSA! How many of these folks vermin practiced proper spycraft during this?

#6  And local Soros DA's will likely release them and refuse to prosecute if any of the charges are at the state or local level.

We need to see the Feds using RICO to go after the entire network's money, and civil forfeiture to go after their vehicles and homes that were used as meeting or transportation to plan the insurrection.

#5  RICHO the funders of this insurrection.

#4  Perhaps this will lead to BLM and Antifa being designated domestic terrorist organizations. Not sure if that would get the FBI off it's arse or not however.

#3  Finally, some good news.

I hope it results in arrest and indefinitely long incarceration. Gitmo for the coordinators will be nice. The bureau will see that some Indian and other Asian names will feature in the rabble-rouser ranks.

#2  probably we have been investigating for several years without getting the goods on anyone

Antifa and BLM and the others have, I think, a well developed system of shell accounts that has been difficult to handle.
