To the casual observer, ANTIFA is a relatively new entity, having first been noticed at Berkley when Milo Yiannopoulos was to have been a featured speaker. ANTIFA employed violent and destructive tactics to shut down the event…to shut down free speech.
That was February 1st, 2017.
Since then, ANTIFA has revisited Berkeley on March 4th 2017, in a supposed “protest” against President Donald Trump…on April 15th 2017, ANTIFA struck at Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Center Park in Berkeley at yet another pro-Trump rally but this was the first time they were billed as “counter protesters” by the liberal mainstream media.
On April 18th 2017, after once again threatening violence…
ANTIFA forced the rescheduling of an Ann Colter speech at Berkeley. Coulter declined to 
reschedule, called out the liberal hate group ANTIFA and from that point…on and on it has gone.
To date, ANTIFA’s biggest splash has been Charlottesville, where they got into it with various so-called alt-right groups. It was during that violent outburst that the liberal mainstream media championed ANTIFA, showering them with praise, bestowing upon the hate group a hero’s mantle and making ANTIFA out to be the protectors of morality in our nation.
The truth of it is…ANTIFA isn’t relatively new. In fact, the repugnant, violent and too cowardly to show their faces mob of paid “counter protesters” are nothing less than a product of political, ideological evolution.
So…if not as a spontaneous entity at Berkeley on February 1st 2017…from what exactly did ANTIFA evolve?
The answer to that question takes one back to an article I wrote on October 7th 2011 
entitled, “Occupy Wall Street” is a SOCIALIST Dress Rehearsal!!
Here is exactly what I wrote more than six years ago…
“The “Occupy Wall Street” protests.”
“Now, lest you think this is the end game of a bunch of people who have no real idea of what they’re doing there, as has been portrayed, think again. They know EXACTLY why they are there and, after reading this article, so too will you.”
““Occupy Wall Street” is a test, a trial balloon, a dress rehearsal. Nothing more.”
“Got that?”
“NOTHING MORE!!!”
In that article, I trace the origins of the “Occupy movement” directly to the “The strategy of forcing political change through orchestrated crisis. The “Cloward-Piven Strategy” 
seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse,” otherwise known as the “Cloward-Piven Strategy.”
The Cloward-Piven Strategy went on to clarify that, “By crisis, we mean a publicly visible disruption in some institutional sphere. Crisis can occur spontaneously (e.g., riots) or as the intended result of tactics of demonstration and protest which either generate institutional disruption or bring unrecognized disruption to public attention.”
Following that strategy, “Occupy Wall Street” generated institutional disruption as a dress rehearsal, as a trial balloon for what was to come. And what did come of it after the “Occupy Movement” died down?
Black Lives Matter, which again utilized the same exact Cloward-Piven strategy to 
generate institutional disruption…adding race into the mix.
Then, as the Black Lives Matter movement lost steam, or at least seemed to although what really happened was orchestrated to blend that obtuse and manufactured crisis into the next step of the evolution…enter ANTIFA…with race now in the mix, and with a proven track record of institutional disruption under its belt…the “Occupy Movement,” which had morphed into the Black Lives Matter mobs evolved into ANTIFA.
Saul Alinsky wrote, “Make the enemy live up to their (sic) own book of rules,” Alinsky wrote in his 1989 book Rules for Radicals. When pressed to honor every word of every law and statute, every Judeo-Christian moral tenet, and every implicit promise of the liberal social contract, human agencies inevitably fall short. The system’s failure to “live up” to its rule book can then be used to discredit it altogether, and to replace the capitalist “rule book” with a socialist one.”
Is this not exactly what we’re seeing today, as the liberal mainstream media makes heroes of ANTIFA, ignoring their end of the violence and destruction, and as institutions are disrupted enough to begin removing our nation’s history?
Of course it is, but the evolution goes even deeper.
Who is suspected of paying for the “Occupy Wall Street” protests?
George Soros.
Who is suspected of paying for the Black Lives Matter rioters to commit arson, looting, assaults and murders including the murders of police officers?
George Soros.
And who is suspected of paying for“counter protesters” known as ANTIFA to engage in violence, take an anarchist stand against the police and destroy property while creating institutional disruptions?
Again…it is none other than George Soros, but Soros is far from in this alone.
Who made champions of the “Occupy Movement?”
Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton along with a host of elected liberals and of course, the liberal mainstream media.
Who made cham
pions of the Black Lives Matter mobs?
Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton along with a host of elected liberals who wore hoodies on the floors of the House and in the Senate, and of course, the liberal mainstream media.
And who now are making champions of ANTIFA?
Again…it is none other than Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton along with a host of elected liberals and of course, the liberal mainstream media.
See the pattern?
Through all three steps along this evolutionary process, the “Occupy Movement,” the Black lives Matter riots and now the ANTIFA “counter protests,” the crisis’ have all been manufactured to split America, or perhaps more to the point, to “fundamentally transform America,” as Obama stated in the final days of his 2008 campaign.
The idea was to fracture the culture of our nation beyond repair, drive more and more of the populous into a position of relying on the government for needs, including healthcare, and separate people into two distinct camps…along old, and mostly healed racial lines.
As I have stated before, nobody likes being called a “racist” not even racists. Add to that the clear fact that aside from about .000002% of the population, nobody wants to be called a Nazi and the stage is set for ANTIFA.
What the liberals have done, under the direction of the conspicuously silent Obama, and with the willing and gleeful assistance of their propaganda arm, the liberal mainstream media is to draw the line of demarcation.
You must either identify with, and support the goons of manufactured crisis and purveyors of violence…ANTIFA…or elected liberals and the liberal mainstream media will be all over you like a white sheet on a Klansman.
Support the police…according to liberals and their mainstream media…you’re a NAZI. Stand against ANTIFA for shutting down your 1st Amendment rights…you’re a Nazi. Take a stand against the violence, arson, assaults and murders under the cloak of the Black Lives Matter goons and thugs…you’re a racist.
Call out both repugnant sides involved, as President Trump rightfully did…and you’re both a racist AND a Nazi, according to elected liberals and their propaganda machine.
The removal of Civil War statues is also a trial balloon, meant to see just how far a cowardly public is willing to let themselves, and our nation’s history be destroyed, but don’t be one bit surprised that religious statues, including crosses on churches, books that trigger pretend and manufactured offense and the Constitution itself come next.
What it is, is fascism masquerading as an anti-fascist movement being controlled by the ilk of Obama and his shadow government and the financier of it, George Soros.
Obama was to have initiated all of this upon his election in 2008, and I’m willing to bet he thought he could have finished the “fundamental transformation” by the time he left office…and perhaps he would have had it not been for the Tea Party shellackings in the 2010 and 2014 midterm elections.
Once it became clear that a delay in the strategy had been caused by Republican control of the House in 2010…the strategy shifted just a bit as the woman whose job it had been to initiate the Cloward-Piven strategy on a global scale from the Department of State, regardless of the illegal and treasonous activities required to do so, was let out of her contract in order to run for the White House…which she, Obama and Soros just knew was in the bag.
The “Occupy Movement” had evolved into the Black Lives Matter movement of thugs, rioters, arsonists and murderers without a hitch, and Hillary’s certain rise to the Oval 
Office, a position she was “entitled” to would have allowed for both the global Cloward-Piven Strategy to continue unabated while she would seal the deal at home by driving the socialist nail into our nation’s coffin regardless of who controlled both sides of Capitol Hill.
One of the main, and last things the Cloward-Piven Strategy would have required to have become set in cement, was a majority on the Supreme Court of Cloward-Piven steeped Justices, and that was to have been Hillary’s crowning achievement…but…along came November 8th, 2016 and the early morning hours of November 9th when the “fundamental transformation of America” took a direct hit amid ship…The election of President Donald Trump…and suddenly something more drastic became necessary if the “transformation” was to continue.
ANTIFA…the next step in the evolution of the Cloward-Piven Strategy.
But ANFIFA needed time to be installed for maximum effect…hence…Russia, Russia, Russia…a losing proposition for liberals, but a useful distract and delay tactic allowing for the necessary groundwork to get ANTIFA up and running. This, of course, would not have 
been possible without Obama holdovers and current shadow government operatives such as Comey, McMaster and others being embedded in the Trump administration to engage in covert ops and provide strategic leaks meant to cause institutional disruptions in the workings of President Trump’s agenda.
It would however, be a mistake to believe that ANTIFA was created solely as a result of the aftermath of Hillary’s, and for that matter, the Obama agenda’s crushing defeat last November…it was, I believe, always in the cards.
Whether Obama had gotten the “fundamental transformation” to the tipping point, or Hillary had…ANTIFA was to have provided the final push of America into the abyss from which full-on socialism would have been the only lifeline. At some point, it would have become necessary to invoke ANTIFA if for no other reason than to provide the solution Obama or Hillary would have had to employ the Insurrection Act of 1807, which I also outlined in my October 7th 2011 article.
It was Rahm Emmanuel, Obama’s former Chief of Staff and current Mayor of murder riddled Chicago who said, “You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.” In other words…create or manufacture a crisis, and make it the ultimate crisis, then solve it in the most authoritarian way possible.
ANTIFA was to have been the ultimate crisis all along…but now…without being backed by the White House, ANTIFA, on behalf of Obama’s shadow government has had to ramp it up using only elected liberals
and the mainstream media to prop it up.
And if you don’t believe there’s big money behind ANTIFA…somebody financed them to go to the G-20 summit in Germany
ANTIFA, had it been deployed by either Obama or Hillary (under Obama’s shadow government) would have had the job of manufacturing a crisis of conscience in the American public, requiring Americans to side with the rioting ANTIFA mobs or against them. It would have made no difference which side Americans would have taken up. Those who would have stood with ANTIFA would have been labeled by liberals as violent extremists, and those against ANTIFA would have been labeled fascists. Either way, government forces would have been used to clamp down under Martial Law, and the “fundamental transformation” would have been complete.
Now however, with Hillary out of the picture, Obama running a shadow government from his home just a few scant miles from the White House and with President Trump at the true helm, a Supreme Court now leaning solidly to the right and the grand master plan in shambles…ANTIFA has become a desperation entity, still deployed to create that crisis of conscience, but now for the purpose of driving out the Republican party from power.
This is why liberals, both elected and in the mainstream media, have dropped the Russia distraction to busy themselves with labeling Republicans as Nazis and racists…in the hopes that such false and manufactured labels will somehow stick, and liberals will retake control of at least the Senate in 2018, and the White House in 2020.
ANTIFA is a trap laid by liberals. Stand with them, and eventually you will be a violent extremist…stand against them and you’re an instant racist, Nazi and fascist.
Call out both sides as President Trump has done, and your mental state is brought into question by liberals.
The question becomes…how can this Catch 22 be defeated?
By standing steadfastly against both sides of the violent equation. Do not waver. Call them out by presenting the truth. Know the true enemy…the liberal party. Know who is behind it all and why and call out every entity promoting the divisiveness.
While I took some heat back in 2011 when I called the whole “Occupy Movement” a dry run and a dress rehearsal, from both liberals and from some Conservatives…I knew I was right…and now we see the proof of it.
ANTIFA is the liberal’s Hail Mary…and where a good defense is usually the best strategy against such desperation, this time what is called for is a strong offense…truth, facts and the wisdom to identify not only the root of this evil…but the future of it as well.
While the “Occupy movement” was a dry run or dress rehearsal for today’s ANTIFA…today’s ANTIFA is also a dress rehearsal for what is to come.
Make no mistake…
The evolution of the “Occupy movement” into ANTIFA was not meant solely to squelch free speech on college campuses or as an entity to supposedly challenge racism…those are the distractions provided by liberals to mask what I believe to be the real intent of ANTIFA…to recruit and grow into an intimidation force by employing violence on a national scale for one specific purpose…
To be deployed in an effort to lower the numbers of Conservatives, Republicans and Independents heading to the voting booths in November of 2018.
After Hillary’s loss last November, liberals know they have a severe problem when it comes to voter turnout and ANTIFA has been ramped up in an effort to keep those who elected Donald Trump from voting in the 2018 midterm elections.
The liberal elite, and those running their shadow government know they can’t win back the senate if both Republican and Independent voter turnout is in 2018 what it was in 2016, and unless liberals can retake the Senate next year, they can’t stop President Trump’s march toward a Supreme Court that will lean heavily toward Constitutional law for decades…perhaps generations to come.
This also accounts for the labeling of Conservatives and Republicans as Nazis. What 
liberals are hoping for is that enough old school Republicans will become too distraught by the false labels to vote and that Independents, who lack solid core political principles will not want to be identified as voting for Republican candidates due to the fake stigma placed on those candidates by liberals.
ANTIFA is not about standing up to the 0.000002% of Americans who identify with racist groups…ANTIFA is about trying to intimidate 47% of the voting populous into being ashamed of their party affiliation or simply into being too scared to go to the polls next November.
Let me drive this one last point home with a hammer in the most blunt way possible…
The party of liberalism, hell-bent on socialism is the party which allows criminals out to roam our streets while they allow illegal aliens in, protecting them in our cities. That same party lets boys into girl’s locker rooms and dressing rooms and tells us that “man-made global warming” is settled science while gender is something fluid. They not only allow women to kill their soon to be born children, they advocate for it and want the American taxpayers to foot the bill for it while also advocating that the most repugnant of murderers in our prisons, at great cost to the American taxpayers, be allowed to live.
Liberals have demonized the 99% of good law enforcement officers for the actions of the 1% who are corrupt and advocate in favor of the murder of those tasked to serve and protect.
Liberals tell us that we must empathize with the barbarians of Islam while at the same time persecuting Christians…inviting Islam in while trying to drive Christianity and Judaism out. Liberals entitle those who will not work to the earnings of those who do and liberals excuse the actions of terrorists at every turn while apologizing for American exceptionalism at every opportunity.
While doing all of this and more, liberals have proclaimed themselves to be both the judge and jury in our national court of morality and their bought and paid for court reporters, the mainstream media refuses to report the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth…rather…they’re job is to tell the nation only what the liberals want told in order to sway public opinion away from truth, and toward the lies of liberalism.
The end goal of course is that liberals will become America’s executioners too if they are allowed to remove our history, wipe out our culture and end our liberty all in the name of “fundamental transformation.”
I was 100% correct in my 2011 assessment of the “Occupy Wall Street” movement and I am just as 100% correct regarding ANTIFA…if we fight them in the street, we will lose because that is exactly where the liberals want us…on their home field between the gutters, but if we fight them with the truth…covfefe…in the end, we win.
