Secret Antifa tent city found, and Portland is paying for it
[PRESSCALIFORNIA] Where do Portland Antifa
...the armed wing of the Democratic Party...
ns rest during the day between riots at night? In a hidden tent city near downtown, paid for and serviced by the city, according to a local citizen journalist.
But Shhhhh...it's a secret
And they didn’t like their cover blown. After capturing the encampment on video, "I was chased approximately four or five blocks by two men, one with a slingshot," reported the Vlogger, who remained unidentified for his safety.

"This encampment is filled with young vibrant people who are actively, at night, committing crimes, and burning Portland to the ground," he said on his YouTube channel, Never Alone With Christ.

Anonymous or not, public records provide a troubling bombshell. The encampment is one of several specialized shelters under the auspices of the Joint Office of Homeless Services.

It is entirely funded by the city of Portland, with start-up costs priced at $214,097 and ongoing support for all three sites expected at $155,488 monthly, N.A.W.C. said.

Mayor Ted Wheeler
...the incompetent but trendy leftist mayor of Portland...
and Portland City Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty are said to be the key backers of the temporary outdoor shelters such as this one, located at the Star Park Festival Lots by the Hawthorne Bridge Junction.

Two large buses are often nearby, but weren’t on the day of filming, he said.

#2 We could never square the logistics of such sustained violence. We knew they had to be housed somewhere. No we know. The city provides the property, toilets, washing facilities. privacy fencing and of course continued maintenance - all on the taxpayer dime. Stunning.

#6 They're un-residenced, oppressed people needing well-ordered shelter who happen to be peaceful protestors occasionally driven to rage by Trump's fear-mongering.

#10 The only thing of consequence in Portland is the port. Otherwise, those assholes have EXACTLY what they have wanted for so very long. Now it's time to wallow in it and enjoy. Just don't come to any normals with the bill.

#11 Well, before they turned on him, Wheeler was out there "protesting" with them. So this doesn't come as a really big surprise.

He likes "sticking it to the man" without realizing that he now is the man. Or not caring. Or something.

#12 The main problem with the "let it burn" position is that it's a slow burn. Meanwhile, the contagion spreads to outlying areas and even areas that are distant. Portland Antifa/BLM travelling to Lodi, CA for defund police rally today.

#14 It's kind of brilliant, actually.

A taxpayer funded de facto CHAZ, but secret in order to stay under the radar.

Talk about your Deep States.

#15  Just don't come to any normals with the bill.

When Biden steals the election, we will all be made to pay.

And the normals will even say "Thank you".
