Wait a Minute: am I saying Antifa, that 100-year-old watchdog group that ferrets out Nazis and exposes them are really Domestic Terrorists? That’s exactly what I am saying!
And not just me, but the eyes and ears of millions of Americans have been opened to the realities of Antifa. And Antifa realities are opposite those relayed through their name, which means “anti-fascist.”
We saw them “demonstrating” in Portland a couple of years ago, at Berkeley, Charlottesville, and other cities across the nation. Every time a “Free Speech” rally is announced pretty much anywhere in the U.S., Antifa leaders file for a demonstration permit for those events, show up, and do NOTHING at all peaceful. They are there for one purpose and one purpose only: to attack the “Free Speech” rally demonstrators and speakers AND police! That’s right: Antifa goes after cops.
Antifa is anything BUT peaceful. They cloak their real identities in their name, which stands for “Anti Fascist,” and expose their real purpose by almost in unison wearing masks at these public events. (Why masks? So to prevent their identities being detected by the media) Think about this: If an organization that lashes out against Fascism shows up at a rally to peacefully protest against Fascism, why would they wear masks? The answer to that question is simple: Antifa’s purposes are identical to those of World War II fascists in Italy, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Poland, and other European countries that Hitler’s fascist Nazi armies invaded.
Wow! We all thought they were AGAINST fascism, right? Brutal Italian Dictator Benito Mussolini was the father of Fascism. To understand what it is, let’s turn to its creator. Mussolini himself explained it:
“…Fascism is the complete opposite of…Marxian Socialism. The materialist conception of the history of human civilization can be explained simply through the conflict of interests among the various social groups and by the change and development in the means and instruments of production… Fascism, now and always, believes in holiness and in heroism; that is to say, in actions influenced by no economic motive, direct or indirect. And if the economic concept of history be denied, according to which theory men are no more than puppets, carried to and fro by the waves of chance, while the real directing forces are entirely out of their control, it follows that the existence of an unchangeable and unchanging class-war is also denied – the natural progeny of the economic conception of history. And above all Fascism denies that class-war can be the predominant force in the transformation of society…
After Socialism, Fascism combats the whole complex system of democratic ideology, and repudiates it, whether in its theoretical premises or its practical application. Fascism denies that the majority, by the simple fact that it is a majority, can direct human society; it denies that numbers alone can govern using a periodical consultation, and it affirms the immutable, beneficial, and fruitful inequality of humanity, which can never be permanently leveled through the mere operation of a mechanical process such as universal suffrage.
…Fascism denies, in democracy, the absurd conventional untruth of political equality dressed out in the garb of collective irresponsibility, and the myth of ‘happiness’ and indefinite progress. The foundation of Fascism is the concept of the State, its character, its duty, and its aim. Fascism conceives of the State as an absolute, in comparison with which all individuals or groups are relative, only to be conceived of in their relation to the State. The conception of the Liberal State is not that of a directing force, guiding the play and development, both material and spiritual, of a collective body, but merely a force limited to the function of recording results: on the other hand, the Fascist State is itself conscious and has itself a will and a personality — thus it may be called the “ethic” State….
…The Fascist State organizes the nation, but leaves a sufficient margin of liberty to the individual; the latter is deprived of all useless and possibly harmful freedom, but retains what is essential; the deciding power in this question cannot be the individual, but the State alone…”
I suggest you take a few moments to read that explanation by the father of Fascism again, and maybe one more time.
The Players
Most have seen snippets of the rallies referenced in our opening in which Antifa members show up to take on those who set up the rallies. Those rallies have almost exclusively been to promote Free Speech and First Amendment rights. Antifa appears to “demonstrate,” and their demonstrations always turn into violent confrontations with rally supporters and even the police.
Ask yourself this question: If Antifa members are anti-fascist, why would they even demonstrate against organizers of these free speech rallies, speakers at rallies, and of course, the police?
Another question: why do we not hear anything from the media who certainly are in full force at these rallies about Antifa initiating and perpetrating violence — like in Portland, Berkeley, Charlottesville, New York, Philadelphia, and other major cities and now in L.A., New York, Minneapolis, Louisville, Dallas, and other large cities?
I’ll answer the second question: Mainstream Media purposefully ignores the violence and numerous arrests of attackers at these rallies and demonstrations. Why? Because telling and showing the truth would mean exposing Antifa for what really is their cause and who they are. Even though Antifa dresses itself up as being against fascism, its members are Fascists themselves who do nothing but carry out their real agenda: to destroy “liberty and justice for all,” and to implement control of the people by the likes of Mussolini and that “other” guy, Hitler.
Watch this video compilation (or listen to the audio) of Antifa rally footage, interviews with various Antifa members, and even Mainstream Media members:
Summary
Probably the scariest thing about all this is Antifa’s simple existence, its basis, and its leadership. Who sponsors and who leads them? Who knows. Obviously, the group as it participates in these rallies is organized, must be structured, is well-funded, and certainly has leadership. We don’t know for sure who those could be, and I will not speculate.
But what IS certain is that many of those who participate in these demonstrations-turned-riots are “trained” at college and universities by professors and other educators who are against the U.S. government structure and certainly anti-conservatives. Speculation of financial support includes several of the obvious candidates for such, but none have stepped out of the shadows to be named — until recently. (more ahead)
What else IS certain is this: Antifa is a blight on the political landscape of America. Their basis and tactics are eerily the same as the Nazi and Fascist European thugs who nearly destroyed Europe before and during World War II. But that was all stopped — all stopped by who and what? The United States of America AND Capitalism! Ironic, isn’t it? The very process and structure that saved the World from Fascism, Communism, and Totalitarianism is the political structure Antifa attacks on its basis today.
And those who number among its members and supporters: you have been exposed to Americans. We know who you are and what you are about. And we summarily reject your Fascism at its roots and its tenets you espouse.
Socialism, Fascism, and Communism have no place in the U.S.A. The sooner you learn that, the better off you will be.
To the “traditional” Capitalists and Constitutional adherents: wake up and realize that “freedom isn’t free.” It takes commitment, sacrifice, and persistence. Our grandparents and parents found those traits that fueled the ability and desire to prevail over Totalitarianism a century ago. We MUST implement that same will to maintain our Freedom — for this generation and those generations of Americans to come.
By the way: obviously, we cannot count on the Mainstream Media to put that out to the American public. Let’s do that the old fashioned way: TELL SOMEBODY!

The writer…..is trying to explain , perhaps with good intentions , one particular group of troublemakers , by digging into past happenings that he has not enough knowledge about . Propaganda is not History . Mussolini was , hardly , a brutal person…..He was an energetic man of limited knowledge , who took it upon himself to carry , the enormous weight of a revolution , upon his shoulders . The main task was to make a nation out of an ehtnic and geographical enclave that somehow had eluded becoming unified . And Hitler , was trying to do the same thing . This is the reason why they have been demonized . They disturbed England’s and France’s view of Europe as their courtyard . Both , had to deal with the cultural realities of their world . To try to improve them….bringing about changes that had been elusive . Hitler grew up in a violent culture , and took easily to violence as a method . Germany , born just 12 years before Hitler himself ( he was Austrian ) couldn’t breath ( sounds familiar ?) because of the , brutal , treaty of Versailles , that was punishment for daring to challenge the big 2 ( with violent , Germanic , means ) . Mussolini , who thought he had to bluff , to step up the game , in order to make Italy grow economically , and under pressure by colonialist neighbours…..made the mistake of gambling on war as an opportunity . But , up to that point , his main job , still appreciated today , had been to rationalize and discipline Italy , to give it a sense of nationhood , to ensure its independence in a a very threatening , competitive context . To describe these men as egotists who had fun by taking away freedom……is to turn History on its head .
I am the author.I did NOT draw any opinions about Mussolini. You were not alive at the time and therefore have couched your response in opinion. I quoted HIS words — at length. My father-in-law was a U.S. spy that lived in Italy for 6 years watching the totalitarian despotism of Mussolini. Many poor Italians died needlessly to serve the God of “the State” he claimed in what he said was/is the “end all.” It wasn’t and still isn’t. Regarding Hitler: nothing about his systemic slaughter of 6 million Jews because they were not blonde with blue eyes had anything to do with the”cultural realities of their world.” This is the TruthNewsNetwork. We draw from facts that are proven. I quoted the father of Facism word for word. You opined with opinion. Your basis and conclusions are recognizable.
I wish the best!
