Activists say Berkeley ‘anti-Fascist’ attacker is college instructor Eric Clanton
Conservative Firing Line ^ | April 23, 2017 | Joe Newby

During a recent confrontation between Trump supporters and violent “Antifa” protesters at Berkeley, a young man identified as Sean Stiles, was brutally assaulted by a masked protester with a bike lock, drawing blood. Activists with 4chan and 8chan analyzed photos and videos taken of the incident and claim the attacker was Eric Clanton, a philosophy teacher at Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hill, California.

According to a post at GotNews.com, the analysis was “based on reviews of the academic’s fashion choices, facial structure, as well as his ideological leanings.”

Jack Posobiec, the Washington Bureau Chief at TheRebel Media, said Thursday that Stiles is pressing charges against Clanton:

Excellent article about a leftist professor who assaults a peaceful citizen at Berkeley. The so-called “mainstream media” has ignored this story.

Academia has become a fetid leftist swamp, fed by massive debt and government pay-outs.

This is why all Federal loans to students and grants to universities must be ended.

Whoever it was needs brought to justice. But this does not exactly inspire confidence --

1) "Activists with 4chan and 8chan"

2) "analyzed photos and videos taken of the incident"

3) "the analysis was 'based on reviews of the academic’s fashion choices, facial structure, as well as his ideological leanings.'"

I watched the whole thing transpire, and while the description of the process sounds pretty ad hoc and therefore not credible, I’m more than just reasonably certain that they got the right guy. Several things about facial features and structure match that weren’t mentioned. Also, he immediately started deleting his social media presence the minute he got wind that the Chans were doxxing him.

What is “GMT-0400 (EDT)?”

Greenwich Mean Time or GMT is the clock time at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London. When the sun is at its highest point exactly above the Prime Meridian, it is 1200 noon at Greenwich.

GMT is still widely used as the standard time against which all the other time zones in the world are referenced. It is the same all year round and is not affected by Summer Time or Daylight Saving Time.

GMT was originally set-up to aid naval navigation when travel around the globe started to open up with the discovery of the “New World” (America) in the fifteenth century.

Read more here about the connection between accurate time-keeping, GMT and sea voyages.

GMT was not forced on to “land-lubbers” until the introduction of the railways (railroads) in the ah, I need " mid-nineteenth century. The developing railway network meant that Britain needed a national time system to replace the local time adopted by major towns and cities. As Greenwich, due to the presence of the Royal Observatory, was the national centre for time and had been since 1675, the choice was obvious. Nevertheless, GMT was not adopted officially by Parliament until 2 August 1880 .

And they’re REALLY going after this guy:

“Outraged accusers have vandalized the 28-year-old’s profile on RateMyProfessors.com, and at least one claims to have hacked Clanton’s Amazon.com profile and made purchases under his name.” Look at some of the evidence here:
http://gotnews.com/marxist-public-college-professor-accused-murder-attempts-berkeley-free-speech-rally/ It’s pretty convincing.

GMT is known in Aviation radio lingo as “Zulu” time, as opposed to local or “Lima” time. GMT is also known as “Coordinated Universal Time”. There is a short-wave radio station broadcasting out of Ft. Collins, CO, call letters WWV, which does nothing but broadcast the time, which refers to it as Coordinated Universal Time.
