Dispatch 46: ANTIFA in Atlanta – Proud Boys, MAGA: YOU ARE AT WAR
2020-11-29
Long, lots of photos, stream of consciousness reporting. As an aside, Mr. Yon really likes The Epoch Times.
[MichaelYon] Since my September return to America, I’ve personally witnessed many actions and protests ranging from Oregon, Washington State, Washington D.C., Pennsylvania in Harrisburg and Philadelphia, back to D.C. for more, to Atlanta, and finally to Gainesville, to Florida where a goat stopped my rental truck in Levy County threatening to ram.

D.C. because I was invited to the White House on 01 December, and to Vice President Pence’s residence on 08 December. I did not even bring a suit to America, so am rushing to get one. Only in America can I go from dressing homeless in Portland to watch BLAMTIFA attack police, to getting invited to the White House.

So far, I personally witnessed ANTIFA in action in Portland, Atlanta, and D.C.

Morale is low for ANTIFA in Atlanta and Portland. ANTIFA fighting skills are weak. They exist because nobody stops them.

All 85 of these street photographs were made by me on Saturday at four or five rallies/protests. I say four or five because some protests are difficult to separate. Where does river meet sea? There is a parallel in wars. You might get into five firefights in one day: was that five separate fights, or one long firefight with long breaks in action?

Having been to hundreds of protests around the world, patterns emerge: most of the largest protests consisted of countless smaller actions hobbled into one Big Label such as "Pro-Government" or "Anti-Government."

Many rallies/protests are conventions where hundreds of ’vendors’ come to sell their stories. Cameras come for the crowds. Crowds come for cameras. Often works.

Political Street Theatre is related to but separate from LARPing. LARP is Live Action Roll Playing: The cameras roll and behavior changes.

Political Street Theatre occurs at places like Black Lives Matter, Inc. Plaza in Washington, D.C. where BLACK LIVES MATTER, Inc. painted gang markings on the road near the White House. And so, cameras are out there nearly 24/7 on tripods for anyone who comes out to make a play. One person can come out there and make a play for the world.

#3  I expect BLM to be, once again, kicked to the curb at least until the next Presidential election. They still haven't worked out all the kinks in their election fraud machine as indicated by the recent revealations. They will go all-out in 2022 to get a supermajority in the House and take over the Senate as well as start in on the State legislatures to prevent them from gumming up the works like in PA recently. As soon as they can they will stack the courts - Imaging AOC as a Justice.
Damn this tinfoil hat is tight!

#2  Stealing the election was just the necessary 1st step. What follows is the important work of crushing all opposition and subjugating the populace. BLAMTIFA will play an important role. I can see that eventually Antifa(think SA) will be suppressed but not BLM (SS)

Once this election is sorted out one way or another...
I honestly expect to see arrests of Anti-FArt and Black Marxist Lives Matter minions and street level leaders for nothing more than a face and political appeasement.

Whatever happens I fully expect the upper echelon/$$$$ funders to fade back into the wood-work until the 2024 elections, then rekindle more minions.
