You may find what is happening in Portland to be a bit confusing. If you won’t listen to people talk about the communists and what it is that they are doing, perhaps you would prefer to read about what it is that they believe, and how they go about achieving their goals. They are apparently anarchists who seek to destroy all society through violence, which they rationalize as self defense. Here is their handbook. Give it a look.

Thank you for this. I always prefer to read, it helps my comprehension.
No need to read that 300 pages of drivel.
The Antifascist’s are fucked up. A bunch of thugs trying to justify their violence. To them, everyone else is a fascist.
I only disagree with your belief that you don’t need to read it. Everything else I do agree with. It is important to understand your enemy. General Patton beat Rommel in North Africa because he read Rommel’s book.
Thanks for the post HR. I’m looking forward to reading it.
Thanks Doc. I do admit that it is a slog, but at least we have it.
Maybe Patton read Rommel’s book ….. but, I don’t believe that’s why he won. Let’s let Rommel explain it:
“When one comes to consider that supplies and materiel are the decisive factor in modern warfare, it was already becoming clear that a catastrophe was looming on the distant horizon for my army. The British were doing all they possibly could to gain control of the situation. With wondrous speed, they organized the shipment of fresh troops into the Alamein position…Our one and only chance to overrun the remains of the British Eighth Army and occupy the east Egyptian desert at a stroke was irretrievably lost.”
Here’s what Rommel was talking about;
In May 1942 the Afrika Korps, aided by fresh Italian troops, staged a classic Blitzkrieg attack, surging through the British defenses, finally taking the city of Tobruk. The Brits were about to be utterly defeated — and the Germans would control the entire Middle East. (We can only speculate whether or not this would have helped Germany win the greater war.)
There was only one problem. Rommel only had about 125 tanks left.
Rommel asked Hitler for significant troop reinforcements and supplies. Hitler refused! (Hitler decidedto keep all available resources for the upcoming offensive in Russia.)
The Brits capitalized on Hitler’s tactical blunder. The Brits rushed in soldiers, tanks, artillery and ammunition …. it was Dunkirk in reverse …. and wiped out Rommel.
========= =
There’s lot of myth surrounding Rommel. Below is an informative article — – “Drive to Nowhere: The Myth of the Afrika Korps, 1941-43” —- that purports to set the record straight. If you enjoy history, don’t miss this one!

Thanks Stuck. There are so many variables in war, simply reading a book will not be the reason war is won.
Thanks Stucky. I’m looking forward to reading it.
I will stick to my guns about reading the Antifa Handbook. It is important to learn everything you possibly can about your enemy. Perhaps I should have quoted Sun Tzu instead.
The book is dedicated to: —-> “The Jews Of Knyszyn, Poland.”
The last chapter is titled: —–> “Conclusion: Good Night White Pride (or Whiteness Is Indefensible”.
Cant wait to read it!!! (end:sarc)
Saw the same thing – dedication page – and thought how much their Bolshevik (((brethren))) in neighboring Soviet Union, murdered tens of millions of Christians under Communism.
The Hammer and Sickle needs to be proscribed for its crimes against humanity. (Aeroflot Airlines won’t like it but principles are principles.)
Let’s ask Chuck Schumer, leader of the opposition in the U.S. Senate, to pick up that noble task to show he and his followers are against murder by any political ideology.
And while Sen Schumer, with Reps. AOC, Tlaib, and Omar, are at preaching the high moral ground to Americans, they can declare ANTIFA a (totalitarian Socialist/Communist) domestic terror group.
No definition of fascism is given in it. I go with Mussulini’s definition;
I agree with your use of Mussolini in his definition. But the book does give a definition, but it is one that I can not see as being related to historical fascism;
This smacks of the communists view of the oppressor. It appears that he is trying to force the conflict into the oppressed raising up to slay their oppressors. This is a very Marxist approach to class struggle.
Here is the American Heritage Dictionary definition:
How is it that Antifa doesn’t fit exactly that definition? Not the one that they made up for themselves to justify their violence, but the one that everyone else uses.
All under state control:
“All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.”
Benito Mussolini
That was the rejoinder I was looking for!
They are communist pedophiles.
“By drawing on the work of Wilhem Reich, who examined the idea of fascism as a symptom of sexual repression, we are taking the ‘Reicheann approach’ by advocating for the early managed sexualisation of children so as to prevent the formation of any earlier fascist traits.

FYI, Wilhem Reich died in prison after the feds confiscated all his research on orgone energy. He was framed, like Tesla.
Thanks for the link; will check it out.
I wouldn’t say it’s a fun read so far, but it does provide some insight into what we are up against and that has to be helpful.
Are you Antifa, Robbie?
The book (?) was mostly word salad with obscure references to some trivial history. The author at best reminds me of some Don Quixote type savaging windmills in his mind like the Mosques that have been threatened-yeah, right!
As Montreal ARA cofounder Walter Tull phrased it, “the job of the anti-fascist is to make [fascists] too afraid to act publicly and to act as volunteer targets for their hate and attacks which might keep them from thinking about burning down the mosque in their neighborhood.
Moar like this, s’il vous plait.
“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” Sun Tzu
Since we’re talking about Russia …. OK, this is fucken amazing …. or pretty goddamned depressing (depending how you look at it).
1. Article below …. Russia will be constructing 2,200 km of the China-to-Europe superhighway. The cost is estimated at $10 Billion.
https://russia-insider.com/en/russia-approves-private-10-billion-europe-china-highway/ri27435
———————————————–
Let’s go back to the USA!USA!USA!
2. NYC is attempting to build the LaGuardia Airport AirTrain ……. it’s just 1.5 miles long …. the cost is now $2 Billion.
https://nypost.com/2019/06/25/laguardia-airtrain-project-now-estimated-to-cost-2b/
3. NYC plans to rehabilitate a 1.5 mile stretch of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway …….. the cost is THREE BILLION DOLLARS. Bwahahahahahahahahaha!!!
———————————————–
Every now and then some uneducated anti-Russian doofus will rag about how small Russia’s economy is … make some retarded comparison (“Smaller than the state of New York!!”) and feel all smug about being smart and shit. As if GDP really mattered.
If the USA!USA!USA! built a 2,200 km highway today it would cost $20 trillion TrumpBuks ….. but, hey, we have a YUGE economy, so we can afford it.
Maybe the Federation of Russia spending is not included in their calculation of GDP.
In fiscal year 2015, the federal budget is $3.8 trillion. These trillions of dollars make up about 21 percent of the U.S. economy (as measured by Gross Domestic Product, or GDP.
That $3.8 trillion would be five or six billion in Gold backed 1912 Dollars? The Gold doesn’t change. The intrinsic value doesn’t wildly fluctuate. Only the number of printed or digitally summoned Federal Reserve Note Dollars changes, ever upward. The printing of each diminishes microscopically the value of every Dollar we hold in cash or accounts.
Stuck – the cost will largely be in buying the property where the highway will sit. Doubt they bother with that little detail in China.
the author’s aunt was shot just months after immigrating here while standing on a picket line–
doesn’t sound like she was grateful for her new country,does it?
good post,rob–
You frickin’ apple polisher. Be sure to put a spit shine on it.
you’re just jealous that my apples are sweeter then yours–
I disbelieve that the Anti-FA street soldier is so literate as to believe what takes up 300 pages. #MAGA
this link contains part one of a 3 part series on antifa that was published a couple of years ago on ammoland.com
antifa is a very dangerous organization,and every time they have even a little success it emboldens them–they need to be dealt with harshly,up to/including life sentences–
just think how our world might be different today if russia had not freed lenin from the prison sentence he was sentenced to in the early 1900’s,and if hitler had not been set free after he led the failed revolution in the 1920’s–

Kinda reminds of Italy’s Red Brigades decades ago.
289 pages of bat-shit crazy.
They belive in freedom. Freedom is unnatural. Freedom as a limiting principle taken to its logical conclusion leads to the many absurdities we see in our society today. Nature’s law is supreme. She can be a wonderful benefactor or a terrible tyrant. Doesn’t matter. The only freedom comes in recognizing and respecting her patterns and cycles and acting accordingly.
