Antifa ‘Panicking’ About Police Informant Inside Network: Andy Ngo
2021-04-19
[EpochTimes] Members of the infamous Antifa
...the armed wing of the Democratic Party...
cell in Portland are anxious after an informant in their midst gave information to police, leading to arson charges, Antifa expert Andy Ngo says.

"They’re panicking because this may possibly mean that somebody has infiltrated high ... and there’s a lot at risk, because this is a criminal cartel," Ngo said Saturday on NTD’s "The Nation Speaks."

(mixed static on phone line)

"No, it turns out he's just an asshole..."

#29  I'm not sure how the colectivos are doing in Venezuela these days. Dad had contacts there.

When I tried to get in touch with my last contact there a month back I found out he was being sought by federal US law enforcement for theft of industrial equipment, couldn't enter the US, and his US phone wasn't working.

BUT... for the sake of historical completeness: previous brownshirt analogues in communist societies have generally been used to subjugate the populace before then being subjugated themselves. Like all the Old Bolsheviks who wound up with their skeletons paving the bottom of the White Sea Canal.

...and like, of course, the ones who give their name to the class of belligerent: the brownshirts, who were mostly killed during the Night of the Long Knives.

(And, of course, although I haven't read it in a long while, the standard book on the subject is _The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich_.)

#28  All revolutionaries are killers but most are not psychotic.

Nearly all of the Antifa characters who've been identified are clinical cases: schizoid or bipolar; sexual deviants; personality disorders. These lost souls wouldn't know a proletariat from a lariat or an AK 47 from an AR 15.

#25  rj, it's just like Venezuela. They let the criminal/revolutionary gang beat up beat cops to act as enforcers for the dictatorial state at the same time they're cosplaying as anti-authoritarian revolutionaries.

#24  Normally i would applaud but millions of dollars late and untold lives ruined because authorities played defense instead of holding on to arrested Antifa for days or weeks to break the cycle of violence.

...Neither criminals nor revolutionaries. These are psychopaths, most of whom also have serious drug problems, gender confusion and/or weird sexual proclivities: trannies, "furries," ped0s and other pervs.

...#5 Who do you think "revolutionaries" are?[/i]

I offer the example of the Man of Steel himself, sometimes also known as Joseph Dzhugashvili, Koba the Dread, your good old Uncle Joe, or Stalin.

Kidnapper, Bank Robber, Revolutionary, former Jesuit Seminarian, and Dictator who killed millions of people. He's where Criminal, Revolutionary, and Psychopath meet.

#21  NO BS -- FBI and DOJ are now part of organized crime.
Posted by: Bubba Lover of the Faeries8843   2021-04-19 13:25  

#20  Not only does the FBI now have a severe senior management bias for Democrats but they have perfected the three year investigation into a stalling artform, allowing recriminations to be muted after an event, give the appearance of integrity and professionalism while waitro see what the 7th floor wants as an outcome. But just as frustrating and dystopian, DoJ is perhaps the swampiest of all agencies, so getting prosecution against the politically powerful is even more remote. The entire Russiagate investigation got one lawyer on one charge after two plus years.

#19  Does Wray still think the Mormons or Amish are the biggest threat to national security?
Posted by: JohnQC   2021-04-19 11:56  

#18  Regardless nothing will come of it. With FBI pickle head Wray cover for these obvious acts of treason.

We all know it. Soros Aktion chicom and corp funded nazis moving, destroying freely at will. There will never be any charges. Our nation's collapse is sealed.

Bill Barr is laughing his ass off.

#17  Not RICO - Whitewash. Notice how he implies that the rioters are not really Antifa but 'self-identify' as Antifa. That is a hint to how the FBI is preparing to protect the DNC terrorist arm.

#16  FBI investigating Antifa for violent attacks, Director Wray says

The FBI is investigating far-left Antifa radicals linked to violent attacks around the country, FBI Director Christopher A. Wray told Congress on Thursday.

"Mr. Wray was asked his views on whether Antifa, a leftist radical group that has triggered violent attacks in several U.S. cities, is an organized group.

'We consider Antifa to be more of a movement,' Mr. Wray said during an appearance before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. 'There are certainly local and regional nodes, individuals who self-identify with Antifa who commit violent attacks, citing that as their motivation. And we have a number of predicated investigations into such individuals.'


RICO?

#15  /\ The leadership appear to be psychopaths.

Rough translation: Mostly democrats.

#14  Antifa cannon fodder appear to me to be about half revolutionaries with mental health issues and half straightforward opportunistic criminals. The leadership appear to be psychopaths. BLM leaders appear to have more who are sane opportunists coldly profitting from race gamesmanship to acquire money and influence, and more criminals among the cannon fodder.

#13  Psychopaths are not a joke. But this is less a military matter than a law enforcement and social services problem. Most of these people belong in an asylum. Lacking those, we give them Portland and Seattle - small difference, agreed.

And yes, Democrats know exactly what they're doing -- or not doing. First they let these sickos have the run of a few non-strategic targets in 2020, and then their media toadies dialed characterized it as "chaos" in order to bring down Trump.

Now it's ignored. Instead the Democrat state media line is now that the "chaos" is created by Trump's supporters -- "insurrectionists" and "white supremacists."

#11  Antifa is a joke. A while ago one of them was bragging that they were able to hold a shield wall together while advancing. In other words, they managed the second easiest part of a formation that's been outdated since stirrups.

"But they'll learn!" Really? Where's the evidence of that? They're leftists; they call someone with a string of Spanish names "indigenous"; they don't realize their entire organization is riddled with informants. They CAN'T learn; if they did, they'd have to abandon their "revolution" fantasies.

A Stinky Stuff & Giggles Question

Let's say the Police/FBI have a Sneaky Pete(s) or Pauline(s) in their leadership level.

Let's assume they collect good CRIMINAL, SUBVERSIVE, REVOLUTIONARY FUNDING data, COUP Agenda Evidence.

Given the US DOJ and many State AG's Socialist-Democrat politicization's. Does any one expect them to use the videos, documents and even Smoking Guns when handed to the Law Enforcement system?

Before you answer.
Remember they have had Biden's Laptop for how many months now and done nothing?

That's a really hard 19.

#7  Related: The Post-Millennial has photos of the young lady, and informs us that Alma Yesenia Raven-Guido, 19, of Beaverton, Ore. is a journalism student at the University of Oregon who has been arrested for such behaviour before.

...Just 19 and that far outta whack? There's a much bigger story hiding there.

#1  This is very good, if it's true. And even if it's not.

The introduction of distrust among lynchpins of any organization is the most effective output minimizer, meaning it significantly reduces their capacity to work. If one can induce internecine hostility to a point where they start killing each other, that's real progress. It makes them devote most of their good-for-nothing efforts to hunting and spying on each other, and they even lose the ability to communicate and coordinate freely.

The basis for this principle is simple. Criminals know they are themselves by nature untrustworthy and all motivated by diverse, disunited interests. Every collective of criminals is ordered and organized along the lines of who has the most money and charisma to command. These will be individuals who have spent their lives hoarding ill-gotten gains, hiding their income streams, back-stabbing and screwing others on their way. Meaning they are sociopaths and sharks under the gay cape of revolutionary fraternity. Such people are susceptible to doubt and confusion about each other. Which is why there are so many gang wars and shootouts over assumed infractions among them; things a clever police brass takes advantage of in controlling crime.

If it's a strategic counter to the growing power of the antifad, it may have from a Democrat's mind.
