Antifa - The Communist Thugs of the Progressive Democrats

by

       Zeno Potas

      Why is a Communist group allowed to cloak their faces and use extreme violence to attack American Patriots with little or no interference from local government or police? Why do elected officials in these Socialist leaning municipalities defend this violent behavior and, by allowing it to continue, encourage more violence towards it’s citizens with a difference of belief? To get to that horrifying conclusion we must, unlike Progressives, look at history.

      Antifa promotes a blend of anarchy and communism, and was formed in 1920’s Germany as the violence and intimidation wing of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD). Antifa, then known as Antifaschistische Aktion (“Antifascist Action”), was created under the direct guidance of the Russian Soviet regime. 

 

      The 21^st century version claims their name is an abbreviation for anti-facist and they are fighting the evil neo-NAZI’s (not to be confused with the Hitler’s NAZI party) and right-wing nationalists, but nothing could be more from the truth. As author Trevor Loudon notes, in terms of its actions and its beliefs, “Antifa is pretty muchthe most active fascist group in America right now.” He compared Antifa with Adolf Hitler’s brownshirts, which likewise used violence to attack and intimidate enemies of Hitler’s National Socialist German Workers’ (Nazi) party. Both sides, he said, “believe in shutting down free speech, believe in forcing others to accept their will.”

      Researchers then sought to find out whether Antifa still maintained Communist Party links. They not only found this to be true, but also found that mainstream political ties have given a free pass to Antifa’s violence. Antifa has garnered mainstream support since it claims to oppose fascism, and claims its violence is a means to suppress fascism yet shutting down opposing views and speech are exactly what THEY are about. Both the Washington Post and the Nation have carried pieces calling for physical violence against the right, with the Post headline calling for “direct action” and the Nation headline reading, “Not Rights but Justice,” but whose justice?

 

                       How many saw these obscure headlines?

 

• Antifa Protester Says Violence Against The Far-Right Is ‘Not A Crime’

• Antifa Assaulting Local Reporter At Richmond Rally

• Durham, NC Antifa Spotted Carrying Weapons…

       We cannot condone the media when it comes to its reporting of acts of hatred and violence on the radical left. Their double-standard is glaring biased, downright ugly, and inexcusable. I’m talking about a consistent pattern of dangerous words and deeds from the radical left, most of which get scant attention from the media. As evil as the KKK and neo-Nazis are, they are not the ones carrying out these acts of hatred, violence, and vandalism. All this is coming from the radical left. Why then does the media put so much focus only on the so-called alt-right groups and so little (if any) on the radical left? 

      Examples of Antifa’s violence ranges from stabbing a police horse in the neck to beating people with bike locks. Antifa has physically assaulted reporters that are not aligned with the left. Antifa thugs are additionally known for assaulting helpless elderly citizens and chasing down fleeing people in order to beat them. Antifa groups in have rioted, destroyed property, beat people with flagpoles and pepper-sprayed a women while the authorities did little to intervene. How much of this was denounced by outlets such as CNN? Where is the outrage? This is America! The leftist media also fails to mention that Antifa was declared a domestic terrorist group by New Jersey’s Office of Homeland Security and that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security stated certain actions from Antifa were acts of “domestic terrorism.” 

 

      The researchers also found that Antifa violence was most prevalent in cities controlled by Democratic city councils, in which the police were under the control of the councils. In Berkeley, California, Antifa is affiliated with the far-left extremist group By Any Means Necessary (BAMN), BAMN, was an outgrowth of the Trotskyist Revolutionary Workers League. In Orlando, Florida Antifa is very close to the Democratic Socialists of America. The Texas branch of Antifa is tied to the local Red Guard, a Maoist organization. Another Antifa branch, Refuse Fascism, is a front for the Revolutionary Communist Party. “Antifa today is like a franchise, the researchers said, adding that “in many instances” it also has close ties to the Democratic Party. I guess it’s not all about peace and love and equality and tolerance in the Democrat, or is it, the Progressive(Communist) party?

Critical Analytical Thinking is Mandatory to Find Truth in the Sea of Propaganda

by

       M. Richard Maxson

      Media overlords and governments, with their own agendas, take words out of context and with the use exaggeration or omission push their progressive propaganda as fact. Corporations using their “entertainment channels” disguised as news, such as MSNBC and CNN, roll out slanted pablum for the masses 24/7 to push THEIR point of view. That’s why in today’s world, with information being downgraded to sound bites seconds long, more than ever, critical analytical thinking is imperative to find truth. It is not just out there for harvesting, no, truth in the twenty-first century is elusive at best and the quest for real truth has become hard work.

      Rene Descartes is widely regarded as one of the founders of modern philosophy and critical thinking. Rationalism is the idea “that reason has precedence over other ways of acquiring knowledge.” The term 'rationalist' is used to refer to free thinkers, ones not led by majority opinion. He stated, “As regards any subject we propose to investigate, we must inquire not what other people have thought, or what we ourselves conjecture, but what we can clearly and manifestly perceive by intuition or deduce with certainty for there is no other way of acquiring knowledge.” The methods used in critical analytical thinking cut like a knife through modern day so-called news and information. These should be mastered and when they are, every time you pick up on a story whether in print or video, you will see things in a different light. That light is truth.

 

• What is the main argument or line of reasoning and is the line of reasoning clear? Note any statements from the text which strengthen its line of reasoning or prove the argument. What statements, if any, undermine the argument? (To recognize propaganda, view information from outside your country’s media sphere. Ed.)

• What hidden agendas might the writer or speaker have that might make you question the contents or conclusions of the message? Consider what they might hope to gain through writing this piece. What information might be missing that could paint a different picture? (Take the opposite position to obtain a full view of the subject. Ed.)

• What kinds of evidence or examples does the writer use? How reliable and useful is this evidence? Does it really support the argument? Is the evidence strong enough? Is the data up-to-date? Does the text use reliable sources? What are these? What makes you think they are or are not reliable? (Does it use evidence from a neutral source or only one side of the discussion? Ed.)

• Do you think there may be any bias in the text? Are the statistics used give a true and full picture? Does their writing reflect a political viewpoint? Who might disagree? (Are there any non-biased confirming statistics? Ed.)

     

      “If, after we have recognized Intuitively a number of simple truths, we wish to draw any inference from them, it is useful to run them over in a continuous and uninterrupted act of thought, to reflect upon their relations to one another, and to grasp together distinctly a number of these propositions so far as is possible at the same time for this is a way of making our knowledge much more certain, and of greatly increasing the power of the mind.” - Rene Descatres

Musings of American Patriots

by

       M. Richard Maxson

      As a change of pace we thought we would offer political musings of some very insightful Americans. They are a combination of observations and truisms. Each one of these statements, when read alone, should stir the thoughts and emotions within every Patriot.

On patriotism…...

"We must convince ordinary citizens … that they sometimes must accept decisions that affect them adversely, and that may well be wrong. If they are willing to do so, the rule of law has a chance. And as soon as one considers the alternatives, the need to work within the rule of law is obvious."

- Stephen Breyer, Supreme Court Justice

 

On propaganda…...

"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of."

- Edward Bernays

"We can be programmed with specific mind control techniques and methods to shut off critical thinking, to have irrational fears or phobias implanted in our minds that take away our choices."

- Steve Hassan

On government funded studies…….

"It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine."

– Dr. Marcia Angell

On immigration……

"It is no doubt very desirable that we should hold out as many inducements as possible for the worthy part of mankind to come and settle amongst us, and throw their fortunes into a common lot with ours. The worthy part, not the entire world. But why is this desirable? Not merely to swell the catalog of people. No, sir, it is to increase the wealth and strength of the community."

- James Madison

On foreign policy……

"We Americans have no commission from God to police the world."

- Benjamin Harrison

"The Deep State has a long history of labeling foreigners as dictators, sponsoring terrorist activities in those countries and influencing a regime change to suit their own best interests."

 - Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

On Politics……

"To understand the workings of American politics, you have to understand this fundamental law: Conservatives think liberals are stupid. Liberals think conservatives are evil."

– Charles Krauthammer

"Democrats have long relied on inaccurate election rolls to aid their candidates. They want to count every vote, legal or not."

- Ken Blackwell

On racism……

"The Progressive determination to “destroy the American social contract and the constitutional system that supports it,” primarily by weaponizing the issue of race."

- David Horowitz

"At some point, we’re going to be fatigued with everybody being the victim,"

- Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas

 "There's not a black America and a white America and Latino America and Asian America; there's the United States of America."

- Donald Trump

A Contradiction to the Principles of the Constitution.

by

       M. Richard Maxson

      What are the values that have united us for 243 years? You don’t have to look much further than the Preamble to our Constitution, just 52 words, to find them: “We the people of the United States in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity” Our forefathers packed a lot into that single sentence. Our Bill of Rights is similarly succinct in guaranteeing individual liberties — rights that we have come to take for granted but without vigilance can erode and slip away, such as freedom of speech, the right that is being eroded away by the Socialist ideal of political correctness.

      The phrase “insure domestic tranquility,” means that we prize unity and peace, not divisiveness and discord. The Progressive Democrats today expound the ideals of Cultural Marxism that it is actually intolerant. To tolerate expression of views that worked against the left’s long march to their supposed utopian future is evil. It is this worldview that gives license to today’s Leftists to intimidate and silence anyone who disagrees with their agenda, all supposedly in the name of tolerance. This is in contradiction to the principles of the Constitution.

      The phrase “promote the general welfare,” means that we care about one another; tolerance, compassion and decency matter but tolerance that is preached today by the Left is only given lip service. If liberals are truly more tolerant than conservatives, how do we explain the common suppression of conservative views at liberal colleges and the widespread fear of even wearing a hat that might trigger anger and violence in liberals? The answer is that liberals have a very different understanding of “tolerance” than conservatives because liberals are working from a radically different worldview. They tolerate only similar views not alternate ones. This is in contradiction to the principles of the Constitution.

     The phrase “secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity,” means that we have a responsibility to protect not just our own generation, but future ones as well and to continue to ensure the wisdom of our forefathers. This is not what the Progressive Democrats believe. They see humanity itself as progressing, as evolving toward a utopian future in which differences among demographic groups will be eliminated by means of governmental power. This is in contradiction to the principles of the Constitution.

      The Democrats and their allies have spent almost three years attacking a President that calls out their hypocrisy. In turn they wave the Constitution in the air claiming that he is in violation of it’s principals using erroneous interpretations repeated endlessly to support their view. (“A lie told often enough becomes truth" - Vladimir Lenin)

The real truth is disturbing;

• Only 62% of all Democrats agree to live by the rules of the Constitution whether you agree with them or not.

• Only 51% of all Democrats define themselves as “extremely” or “very” patriotic.

• Only 37% of all Democrats say they are “proud to be an American” as an accurate description.

      So 63% of all Democrats are not proud to be an American – they are ashamed. For them, America is and has been a deeply flawed country that can only be fixed under their Progressive Marxist agenda. For the left, patriotism is more about belief in what America might become, not what America is or has been. For Constitutionalists, no country is perfect, but America is unique in having been founded and structured based on a profound understanding of the tendency of power to corrupt. Our understanding of patriotism includes deep respect for the institutions that have recognized and protected the rights of individuals to be free from excessive meddling by those in power. The Left wants that to change, they want to be those in power to be able to legislate a new, post-Constitutional America – A Democratic Socialist Amerika.
