Yet, the media would have us believe that it is the white supremacist movement that is the real threat to our republic. Consider that most media estimates put the Antifa movement, largely built out of the \u201cOccupy\u201d movement of 2008-2010, at more than 200,000 members. The Southern Poverty Law Center<\/a>, on the other hand, puts the number of Klu Klux Klan members at about 6,000 KKK \u2026in a country of almost 330 million. But actions speak volumes compared to mere numbers.<\/span><\/p>\n

The vandalized statue<\/a> of Christopher Columbus? Antifa. The statue torn down<\/a> in Charlotte, N.C.? Antifa. The violence in Charlottesville? Antifa<\/a>. The violence in Seattle<\/a>? Antifa. Not excusing the vile nature of the white supremacist protest, but it was a licensed march that remained comparatively nonviolent, albeit troubling, until, as one eyewitness described it, \u201cIt started raining balloons filled with urine, feces, paint, burning chemicals & boards with nails driven into them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Increasingly, the violence we are seeing on the streets is not the result of the alt-right movement, but of the Antifa movement imposing their views on our society<\/a>: tearing down statues, burning the American flag, shutting down town hall meetings, destroying private property and looting. All of it tactical toward achieving the goals of destroying the American culture, society and economy. Never mind that the tactics are themselves the tactics of the fascist.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yet, the likes of CNN and the New York Times and Washington Post<\/a> spend much of their time touting the alt-right threat. Why? A couple of reasons. First, most mainstream media types are philosophically inclined toward anti-establishment organizations from the start; they see little wrong with crypto-fascist violence if the stated goals are in line with their own values systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
