Good Observation LP

I have to say that I am not familiar with the acronyms so I looked up Antifa in the Urban Dictionary and it said...

Short for (militant) anti-fascists.

Middle-class champagne socialist/communist/anarchist white boys who don’t like nationalists or fascists. They consider themselves to be rebelling against the establishment, whilst upholding all of its ultra-politically correct views.

Antifa only dislike racism when its carried out by whites, and do not have the bottle to stand up against anti-white racism; leading to many people on the right to refer to them as ‘traitors’. I’d rather just call them morons.

Most are teenagers and university students who grow out of the fad when they start paying taxes.
Antifa is stupid.

*****

Next I looked up BLM, I thought it must stand for something else than Bureau of Land Management, evidently its what they meant???

So then I listened to the talking heads on the news today to come up with my opinion.

For those interested to this point, here it is:

The confederacy is part of our American History, as such the flag, the statues, and the historical evidence is as much a part of America, as Slavery, for Blacks, as well as whites, asians, and every ethnic subgroup that comes to America.

It is foolish, and ill conceived to remove any element of our history, it is rather essential to LEARN from our experience and make ourselves, ALL of our peoples better from the lessons, and to leave in place as reminders of our history, all those pediments and documents, that make us what we are today.

It is also evident, that what is not allowed today, was allowed yesterday, all one has to do is go back to recent history, in which protests over Trayvon Martin in Furgeson were allowed to go on unabated, with much damage to both persons and places, with no stepping in to quell it, as was displayed yesterday.

It should be pointed out that the legal rally, was abruptly stopped, at the time it should have gotten under way at noon. The timing was eloquent for the dispersal of the crowd. We will never know what would have been said. It was equally evident that the protestors were bussed in for the event, some wore paramilitary garb and were armed, so you could not tell if they were offical or not.

As was reported, many were there out of curiosity, many were there because they wanted the statue left in place or at least put in a museum.

The liberal agenda (IN my opinion) is that if you disagree with them, they do not move on, you cannot have your own opinion, it must be quashed. It cannot be voiced or given credence, and it must be vilified in the public square, and only their opinion can be give legitimacy. Unfortunately, it seems the MSM is marching lockstep (I used this word purposely) with the Antifa, and the Left.

Finally, I agree with Trumps statement, it was wordsmith-ed correctly. I think he knew exactly what he was saying, and the point was made and the MSM went crazy over it...Way to go Mr. President. I am proud I voted for you.

Does any one know who these “right wingers” are who organized the original march? Have they been interviwed? Do they have an address? When I first heard “unite the right” I thought it sounded like a typical leftist campus thing. Right wingers would have been more focused, dpecific. Not so vague or general...

Ok Here’s the Soros SOP for a color revolution.
(Basic steps, it’s more subtle, but here’s what you’ll recognize.)

1/ Use media to highlight existing fissures and competing viewpoints within a society.
2/ paid agitators infiltrate both groups.
3/ create or co-opt a protest.
4/ agitators from both sides use violence to provoke the moderate supporters within either camp.
5/ An atrocity. Mostly snipers firing into crowd, targeting vulnerable like women and children on one side, law enforcement / government on the other.
6/ both sides blame the other for the deaths, damage and violence
7/ media complicity in creating narrative. Violence blamed on one side - usually government
8/ Event used to justify further violence. Calls for President and government to resign.
9/ rinse and repeat with increasing protests and violence.

If you’d like to see how this actually plays out - what a color revolution looks like. YT “Crimea! the long way home”.
The crowd tactics used by the UKie Soros agitators is clearly identified and explained.

The Soros color revolution template has been used in 30+ Countries.

Americans are oblivious as their media has never told the real story behind the protests that lit the fuse in Libya, Egypt, Tunisia (Arab spring!) Syria, Ukraine.

Thanks, TigerClaws. Soros's hobby is de-stabilizing world governments.

strategy to damage the Republican

LOL the Republican "brand" is beyond repair-from decades of not showing up for the fight and losing the country.

These kids find Republicans reprehensible. We didn't grow up in this world. We largely can afford to shield ourselves from it. (for now). We have no right to judge them.

Actually the Hispanic Heritage Foundation did a poll recently. High school students were trending conservative. 20% of black high school kids identified as Republican.

The link that you posted is repulsive and completely unreliable. In fact, it is a great way to prove the left right.

And I now believe that at least some of the counter protesters had a permit. Whether they should have been allowed to protest on a small street is another matter.

great post, LucyT.
Do you/we have a counter theory or stratagy?
One item I suggest is to follow and expose the money.

2/ paid agitators infiltrate both groups.;

Flood social media. Of course that takes work and time.
‘1/ Use media to highlight existing fissures and competing viewpoints within a society.’

Sue everyone. Or at least, someone.

Antifa seems to be a rebranding of the Anarchy crowd. They rebranded and now represent a accepted (by the left) portion of the left protest movement.
