Tag: “Anti”-Fa

  • Let’s Be Clear, Here

    “Anti”-Fa is an “idea”. So are ISIS, Al Quaeda and every other toxic ideology in the history of the world. Here’s the new documentary, “Antifa – Rise of the Black Flag”. It traces “Anti”-Fa’s roots back to the Communist Party of Weimar Germany… …and straight through to the present day, right here and now. Watch…

  • Surpising Nobody…

    …who has been paying attention: Violence in Portland is being orchestrated by a behind-the-scenes organization who, we are told, doesn’t exist: We have overwhelming intelligence regarding the ideologies driving individuals towards violence and why the violence has continued,” Murphy wrote. “A core set of threat actors are organized, show up night after night, share common…

  • The Hits Keep Coming

    The bail fund promoted by Kamala Harris kicks another sex offender loose. This is the same basic bunch that bailed an “Anti”-Fa thug who beat the snot out a Twin Cities’ bar owner for… …well, we’re not sure yet. But it was a mostly peaceful protest.

  • The Democrat Party’s Stormtroopers

    On this, the anniversary of the last major catastrophic attack from without, it’s time to look at a potentially vastly more devastating attack from within. Worse than 9/11? Very likely, yes. “Anti”-Fa – which, we are assured, doesn’t actually exist, except in the earnest hearts of a bunch idealistic kids – is worse than a…

  • For Posterity’s Sake

    Stipulated in advance – we don’t know yet how the Rittenhouse case in Racine is going to end up. Acknowledging up front that Berg’s 18th Law is in effect, it would appear that Rittenhouse’s first shooting might just be problematic, and that the second two appeared to be textbook legitimate self-defense. Of course, earlier we…

  • If You Can’t Stand The Heat, Get Out Of The Cul-De-Sac

    Among the left’s long list of abusive rhetorical techniques, and the one that has me in a particular state of pique, is the phrase “SAY HIS (or HER) NAME”. It’s a pretty ghastly bit of emotional manipulation – basically a bit of on-the-spot brainwashing, and the crudest, most blunt-force kind of framing there is. With…

  • Don’t You Think You’re Being A Little Hard On Our Little Creep?

    Rioting in Portland for 60 days now, most recently trying to burn down a police station. The Press says the riots are “mostly peaceful.”  Puts me in mind of a certain movie. I can imagine our anti-fa hero coming up from the basement, dressed in black, telling Mom he’s going out with his friends. “That’s…

  • Decree From Management

    To: Readers of “Shot In The Dark”From: Mitch Berg, Editor/Publisher/WriterRe: Accepted Terminology Esteemed Reader, In the past, on this blog, I have referred to “Antifa” – the descendent of the Communist version of the Brownshirts – as “Anti”-Fa, to infer, correctly, that they are “anti” fascist in the same sense as Stalin was “different’ from…

  • These Are Our “Elites”

    NPR’s Mara Liasson, over the weekend, observing the anniversary of D-Day. Or, more accurately, “observing” the anniversary of “D-Day”, really. When talking with progs about “Anti”-Fa – a group whose origins were as the Communist version of the Nazi “Brownshirts”, and nothing else – I’ve found “progs” (and “elite” media types like Liasson fall out…

  • Follow The Hidden Money

    It has become obvious there were two groups reacting to George Floyd’s death.  His family/friends/supporters who wanted wanted answers from government and were exercising their First Amendment right to peaceably assemble and petition for redress of grievances; and the Antifa, looking to cause trouble.Antifa has been very careful – there have been no homes destroyed,…

  • The New, Old And Future Normal

    One’s outrage over George Floyd’s death varies depending on one’s definition of normal.If you’re just going about your business, acting in an ordinary and normal way, the cops shouldn’t hassle you and certainly shouldn’t kill you. So what is “normal?”Philandro Castillo was driving and carrying a pistol while high on marijuana. The Black community considered…

  • Let The Record Show

    The party of James Hodgkinson, of “Anti”-Fa, of Eric “Nuke The Gun Owners” Swalwell, of “Fight in the Streets” (VP candidate Tim Kaine and Loretta Lynch ) and punching teenage girls (Woody Kaine) and grownup girls (Keith “Thumper” Ellison) and fantasies (Madonna, Snoop Dogg, Bow Wow, MN DFL operative William “Guillotine” Davis ) and dramatizations…

  • Our Brownshirts

    A dozen masked, hooded, armed “Anti”-Fa thugs attack a citizen journalist in Olympia, Washington. This is graphic and very upsetting: Video recorded by antifa writer Shane Burley shows the mob harassing, assaulting & pepper spraying local citizen journalist Brandon Brown. Brown was attacked & robbed by antifa militants for recording them in Olympia, Wash. in…

  • Black Lives Matter (Unless They Break From The Man’s Narrative)

    Rote Fahne…,er, wait. They’re not called “Red Flag” anymore, not since they were the German Communist Party’s analogue to the Sturmabteilung (“Brownshirts”) in Germany in the 1920s. They’re called something else, now. Let’s start over. The angry white middle class kids from “Anti”-Fa were out on the street in Seattle last Monday, protesting against… …free…

  • Don’t Mind Me

    I’m just waiting and watching to see if Minneapolis lives down to everyone’s expectations. The Trump campaign, of course, would benefit greatly from lots of goons desporting in the streets and trying to crack heads. On the other hand, Mayor McDreamy would love to paint Trump supporters’ self-defense as “white supremacist violence” and create a…

  • Burn Portland (Legally) To The Ground

    “Anti”-fa thugs – upper-middle-class children of our idiot “elites” all, wearing masks to give them a little anonymous mob bravery – attack and injure Andy Ngo, editor of Quillette, the academic left’s current bete noir. It took place in, where else, Portland Oregon – the “Minneapolis of the West”. The government of Portland – being…

  • Open Season

    The Jussie Smollett case showed us that there’s a whole different set of rules for people who know the right people, politically. Or at least, it shows it to people who’ve been hiding under a rock and are juuust starting to pay attention. Prosecutors in Maryland have dropped even the most token charges against the…

  • Funny How That Works

    The party of James Hodgkinson, of “Anti”-Fa, of Eric “Nuke The Gun Owners” Swalwell, of “Fight in the Streets” (VP candidate Tim Kaine and Loretta Lynch ) and demands for military coups (Sarah Silverman) and punching teenage girls (Woody Kaine) and grownup girls (Keith “Thumper” Ellison) and fantasies (Madonna, Snoop Dogg, Bow Wow) and dramatizations…

  • Snivel Your Sidewalks. I Mean Shovel. Shovel Your Sidewalks.

    After seven nastygrams from the City of Minneapolis, Councilwoman Lisa Bender got her sidewalk shoveled by the city, and a $149 fine to prove it. Bender – a far-far-far left DFLer famous for compelling the City to clear bike lanes in the dead of winter that nearly nobody uses when the weather is gorgeous –…

  • I Love A Happy Ending

    “Anti” Fa thugs attack Trump supporters. Antifa ambushes Trump Supporters in NYC. It backfires!!! #DrainTheDeepState #VoteRedToSaveAmerica pic.twitter.com/W0wLiBLV7d — Deep State Exposed ® ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (@DeepStateExpose) October 18, 2018 And the MAGAs stomp them like Irish clog dancers attacking a cockroach infestation.   Only less Irish. I’m proud to be an American today. Keep it up, patricians.

  • Cold For Now

    In 1932, when the leadership of the German parliament decided to try empaneling a cabinet under the leader of the largest party in the Reichstag, one Adolf HItler, one of the groups that lent the new idea strong support was… …the German Kommunist Party. This bit of cognitive dissonance startles a  lot of modern Ameircans, with…

  • “Anti-Hate”

    I’m on the brink of declaring…not so much a new “Berg’s Law”, but a corollary to Berg’s Seventh Law. Something to the effect of “the more the Left’s hangers-on jabber about “Right Wing violence”, the more left wing violence will be going on.” Oh, the media will continue to parrot the narrative, even as they…

  • Fake Law Enforcement

    The FBI is using the Southern Poverty Law Center as a source of investigative information: In a letter obtained by Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., says the FBI has “admitted to working with the SPLC,” in a development he describes as “surprising and worrisome.” “This is surprising and worrisome, as the…

  • It’s The Cultural Civil War, And We’re At The Battle Of Fredericksburg

    Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: College Liberals credited with reaching out, attempting to provide safe space, tolerance. Two thoughts: First, the lack of outspoken conservatives on campus is not new.  When I was in college in 1980, the trend had already begun.  I knew of only four of us: me supporting Reagan, Dan (George…

  • Berg’s Seventh Law Is Universal And All-Seeing

    Can you imagine if a significant Republican were to acknowledge that violence was a good thing in pursuit of political ends? No, not Donald Trump urging his supporters to “hit back”, at a time when people were, y’know, hitting them first.  .No, actually forming groups and going out and beating up people who dissent from the GOP.…
