Antifa was founded in 1932 by Soviet agent Ernst Thalmann to destabilize Weimar Germany. 88 years later, they and their confederates have taken territory in downtown Seattle, the largest city in the Pacific Northwest– Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, or CHAZ. Police have ceded control of the Capitol Hill neighborhood to the protesters and abandoned their local precinct. Protestors are controlling who can come and who can go. The CHAZ has expanded, now featuring an armed watch, medic, and food stations. As of now, this captured area is entirely barricaded off and inaccessible to traffic.
Hilarious to see that the new liberal nirvana of Chaz in downtown Seattle built walls and barricades, stationed armed guards, and is requiring photo ID in order to enter. Two days ago, every single one of those things were considered “racist” to them.
While Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan praises Seattle Autonomous Zone, and says use of military is illegal on Antifa-occupied area, a full on secessionist activity – particularly one that will inspire other such zones and only get more organized – is worthy of treating as an adversarial 4GW operation. Invoking the Insurrection Act would make shutting down the Zones plenty legal, if that’s the standard.
The speed with which some Western “leaders” are giving barbarians tearing down statutes exactly what they want makes it obvious that they are ideological fellow travelers. BLM and ANTIFA are the violent vanguard of modern Left kept at arm’s length for plausible deniability.
It’s almost as if the Democrats really think if they destroy historical statues it magically absolves them of their history as slave owners, and segregationists.
Confusion: The statue of the man who warned against appeasement, Winston Churchill, has to get boarded up to stop it from being vandalized by anti-fascists; the statue of the man who visited and praised Hitler, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, who insisted that the Nazis were arming “for defense, not for an attack,” is left alone.
The irony, of course, is that the Democrat Left called conservatives the “American Taliban” but they’re the ones erasing monuments / statues and censoring books and movies that don’t follow their orthodoxy… literally like the Taliban.
There is absolutely nothing liberating about identity politics. It encourages black people to feel victimized and oppressed and white people to feel guilty,shameful, and self-loathing – all of which are unnecessary and counterproductive. How is that a recipe for freedom and social progress?
History Note: In the late 60’s, Democratic Strategist Fred Dutton decided the future of the Democratic Party was a coalition of African Americans, feminists, gays, and the educated white upper class. They specifically wanted to eject the white working class from their party. What you are witnessing now is by design.
If only there was something in history books about what happens after you start destroying art and punishing people for having the wrong opinion…
The Left demands apologies for who you are, not what you have done, because it bases morality on collective identity, not individual behavior. This leaves them free as individuals to behave however they like, as long as their group affiliation is perceived as virtuous.
Microsoft said it won’t sell facial recognition technology to American police departments But Microsoft has already been working with China on facial recognition tech that is being used to monitor China’s Muslims.
The further a society drifts from truth the more it will hate those who speak it. – George Orwell
Look where we’re at. Baby Boomers screwed up. They thought they were going to “reinvent” parenting and instead you gave us Millennials. You’ve been hoisted on your own petard and now it’s up to Gen X to reel it in but I don’t know if they even have the will power at this point.
This was all probably to be expected. Since the sixties, society has attacked manliness in nearly all venues of life. Now we have a society filled with confused men who don’t know what it means to be men. We have broken the nuclear family and caused a generation to be raised without a positive male role model in the house.
Inter-sectionalism is about dividing the races and establishing a system for the races to do violence against one another. If you believe in applied inter-sectionalism, you need to hope you are at the top of the hierarchy, or bend the knee and pray that they don’t take your life.
Remember when Jussie Smollett tried to start a race war based on a lie. The left and the Democrats fueled it by jumping on the bandwagon until they found out he lied. Who’s paying attention??
Marshall Mcluhan predicted WW3 would see the dividing lines between military and civilian become meaningless. Everyone would be drawn into the conflict. One could only engage or run away from the battle. Is his prediction applicable to the next US Civil War?
About the Author
Based on what I am seeing, I would say so.
It sounds like ISIS has taken over in that zone.
ISIS wasn’t tolerant and neither is this crowd of dangerous Democrat lunatics.
There is nothing in America so intolerant as a liberal, progressive Democrat who wants to impose on the people of America a tyranny of the mind!
Their goal is to completely control freedom of thought and expression.
If you don’t toe their line and think the way they order you to think, they’ll whip out their clubs and beat you into the ground in the name of democracy.
This CHOP or CHAZ is not a part of the United States of America, as the American flag is not allowed inside the zone.
It reminds me of the FLOWER-POWER people from back in the 60s and the PEACE-LOVE movement which produced the Charles Manson family in California famous for the murder of Sharon Tate.
For those too young to remember the Manson Family, it was a desert commune and cult led by Charles Manson that was active in California in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
The group consisted of approximately 50 of his followers who lived an unconventional lifestyle with habitual use of hallucinogenic drugs such as LSD.
Most of the group members were young women from middle-class backgrounds, many of whom were radicalized by Manson’s teachings and drawn by hippie culture and communal living.
Manson was released from prison for petty crimes in 1967, and the Family moved to San Francisco and later to a deserted ranch in the San Fernando Valley.
According to group member Susan Atkins, the Family believed that Manson was a manifestation of Jesus and that his prophecies were reliable concerning an imminent, apocalyptic race war.
They gained international attention after the murder of actress Sharon Tate and four others on August 9, 1969.
Group members were also responsible for a number of other murders, assaults, petty crimes, and thefts.
So this CHOP or CHAZ is going to be an interesting experiment in counter-culture living to watch develop.
If you want your head beat in for questioning some liberal’s belief system, the CHOP or CHAZ is the place to go to get it done.
“‘We need help’: Neighbors concerned after deadly shooting in Seattle’s CHOP zone – A 19-year-old man was killed in an overnight shooting Saturday inside the Capitol Hill Organized Protest zone or CHOP, and a second person was critically injured.”
That is the title of a KING 5 article from Seattle published June 20, 2020, where we learn of a touch of trouble in PARADISE, as the CHAZ is known to its occupants who are the occupiers of the AUTONOMOUS ZONE, which is a separate nation inside the United States of America where our flag does not fly, and our laws do not apply, to wit:
SEATTLE — Seattle police are investigating a shooting that left one person dead and another critically injured inside Seattle’s so-called “CHOP” or Capitol Hill Organized Protest zone.
The 911 calls to report shots fired in Cal Anderson Park, near the intersection of 10th Ave. and E. Pine Street started coming in at about 2:19 a.m. Saturday, according to city of Seattle officials.
At 2:25 a.m., Seattle Fire Department medics responded and were awaiting Seattle police to secure the scene before going into the CHOP, which is standard procedure for the fire department.
Seattle police arrived at about 2:28 a.m. but weren’t able to get inside the CHOP zone.
Police tried to find the shooting victims but were met by a “violent crowd” that prevented the officers from safely accessing the victims, according to a release from Seattle police Saturday.
Body camera footage released by Seattle police Saturday evening shows a crowd of people gathering around the officers.

Peace and love and justice inside the CHOP is administered by the “violent crowd,” or mob, which takes us back to the story, to wit:
Alex Bennet was walking her dog early Saturday morning when she came across one of the victims.
“I saw one gunshot wound on his arm so I took off my sweatshirt and tied it around his arm above where the gunshot wound was so I could make a tourniquet to try and keep the bleeding down,” explained Bennet, who used to be a nurse.
She said she and CHOP medical crews tried to help and someone called 911, but they were told paramedics couldn’t come because police were being blocked from entering the area.
That’s when CHOP medics brought in a van and Bennet helped them get the man inside so they could take him to the hospital.
“I finally was just like he is just really going into shock I need a few guys to help me we’re just going to lift him up and we picked him up and got him into the back of the van,” said Bennet.
Bennet said she supports the protests but thinks precious time was lost during the incident.
“If an ambulance could have come, he would have been there a lot sooner and I think he would have been in a lot better shape,” said Bennet.

It’s interesting that after shutting out the outside world to do things their way that these occupiers of the CHOP or CHAZ are expecting the outside world to come in to deal with the messes they are creating, which again takes us back to the story, to wit:
Organizers of the CHOP sent a statement to KING 5, that said in part no one official was denying Seattle police or fire entry to the area.
“No one within the CHOP denied entry to PD within any organizational capacity.”
“Officers deciding on their own not to enter an area is not the same as being denied entry,” read the statement.
end quotes
What are these ignorant morons saying here?
Officers being met by a violent crowd upon trying to enter the CHOP or CHAZ is exactly the same as being denied entry, un less the violent crowd was there to bond with the police and give them kisses and hugs, which does not sound like what happened to me, anyway.
Getting back to that story:
“We as safety teams are peacekeepers, not police.”
“We do not want to be homicide detectives, or CSI, or accessories to this murder.”
“We still want what we wanted from day one, justice for all.”
end quotes
Ah, not to put too fine a point on it, but what about justice for the dude who just got killed?
And while we wait for that question to be answered, we have:
In the statement, organizers said the people involved in the shooting may have a previous history and “the situation escalated because of gang affiliations.”
end quotes
WOW!
Now there is a big surprise!
“Gang affiliations.”
Who’d a thought it.
Getting back to the story:
Maryellen Donnelly lives across the street from where the shooting happened and heard the gunshots.
She said she’s begged lawmakers to intervene for everyone’s safety.
“We need help, we live here, we need to not be ignored, there needs to be a dialogue.”
“I think the initial protest has gotten lost,” said Donnelly.
end quotes
She sounds like a master of understatement.
As to where “law and order” in the are has disappeared to, the article informs us as follows:
The CHOP area extends on E. Pine Street between 10th Ave. and 12th Ave. right across from Cal Anderson Park.
The area has been occupied by protesters for weeks demanding racial justice and police reform in response to the death of George Floyd, a black man who died while in Minneapolis police custody in May.
Saturday’s deadly shooting occurred less than a half a mile away from Seattle Police Department’s East Precinct, which has been left abandoned and boarded up since protesters took over the area.
end quotes
Hmmmmmmm.
Well, I guess the protestors won – law and order is on the run in Seattle!
Welcome to the NEW WORLD ORDER, for it has arrived and is alive and well in Seattle’s CHOP or CHAZ!
