Communist groups — including Antifa — are hijacking peaceful protests to usher in a revolution —and that is in their own words.
The unprecedented and coordinated effort behind the riots have never been seen before and spans across multiple states involving violent street-level tactics.
Bernard B. Kerik, former NYPD commissioner, said Antifa’s websites control and dictate where protests start.
“It’s in 40 different states and 60 cities; it would be impossible for somebody outside of Antifa to fund this. It’s a socialist attempt at revolution.”
Operations including coordination, equipment, and travel costs that would likely cost “tens of millions of dollars,” Kerik said. An FBI agent at Newark airport observed “25 Antifa kids walking in through the airport. They’re coming from other cities. That cost money. They didn’t do this on their own. Somebody’s paying for this.”
Kerik said:
“Antifa is hijacking the black community as their army. They instigate, they antagonize, they get these young black men and women to go out there and do stupid things, and then they disappear off into the sunset.”
Photos show Antifa protesters with military-grade radios and earpieces. “They have to be talking to somebody at a central command center with a repeater. Where do those radios go to?”
Andy Ngo, a journalist, said Antifa is organized in “multiple units” with scouts that monitor the perimeter of an area, providing live audio or text updates. Others carry out violent missions with weapons and firebombs.
The extremist group is “horizontally” organized; it doesn’t have a public leader, since it’s part of their ideology that there should be no authority.
John Miller, NYPD’s deputy commissioner of Intelligence and Counterterrorism, said they have organized scouts, medics, and even supply routes of rocks, bottles, and accelerants “for breakaway groups to commit vandalism and violence.” These groups plan for violence in advance, using encrypted communications.
