Father Ripperger has started a new YT channel called Sensus Traditionis. He has a series called Spiritual Warfare and Communism that is a series of short videos he posts daily that are worth a watch. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA7QlYW7j6-zzYDPHdkVC3iY4XfQ0KYm7 Antifa are no joke. People think that they are situated in only a few cities but whoever is behind this group has gone to great pains to train them and raise them up here in the West.
I posted the same video over on the signs thread. This desecration is particularly horrifying, it brought tears to my eyes. The work of demons. The evil is intensifying.
ANTIFA have ongoing links to groups in the middle east that have been fighting in Syria and other places as well. Some think that they are being sent to train in these wars and brought back into the US and other countries to foment the same unrest like the targeted killing in Portland recently. A few pictures of YPG in Syria showing their allegiance to Antifa. These groups are all Marxist revolutionary groups seeking to capitalize on a color revolution in the west. I often wondered why Trump has sought to keep up good relations with Turkey. It's becoming much clearer now. https://www.dailysabah.com/politics...k-share-same-ideological-ground-for-terrorism Antifa and YPG/PKK share same ideological ground for terrorism by DAILY SABAH ANKARA War On Terror Jun 02, 2020 12:34 pm GMT+3 As U.S. cities burn, President Donald Trump points a finger at Antifa, a group with strong ideological parallels with the terrorist organization PKK and its offshoots in Syria. With the revelation of the strong links between the terror groups under the pretext of fighting Daesh in Syria, their ideological commonalities and the use of similar tools to create violence and terror to reach their ultimate political goals have also come to light. Trump’s designating Antifa as a terrorist organization amid protests raised questions over affiliated terror groups. As protesters took to the streets in the U.S., a striking statement came from Trump on Sunday, when he tweeted that the U.S. would designate the loosely knit, radical-leftist militant, so-called anti-fascist network, Antifa, as a terrorist organization. “This is an ANTIFA Organization,” he said, accusing the group of orchestrating violence in the country. Trump's statement came after widespread protests emerged throughout the U.S. after an unarmed, handcuffed black man was killed by four police officers during an arrest in the U.S. city of Minnesota. Floyd's death elicited rage, and thousands have flooded to streets of Minneapolis to voice that "black lives matter," while the protests occasionally turned violent with fires and lootings. Meanwhile, U.S. Attorney General William Barr also blamed Antifa activists for hijacking peaceful protests after George Floyd’s death. "The violence instigated and carried out by Antifa and other similar groups in connection with the rioting is domestic terrorism and will be treated accordingly,” Barr said in a statement last weekend. Now all eyes are on the future indicators of the president’s statement, namely whether the U.S. would designate other terrorist groups in affiliation with Antifa, such as the PKK’s offshoots in Syria, YPG/PYD/SDF and women's branch YPJ, similarly in the near future. Though the name surfaces frequently now during the protests, this is not the first time the U.S. has been dealing with Antifa, which is short for anti-fascists. Congressional report attests to Antifa’s crimes The Congressional Research Center (CRS) in a report in 2018 described the group as anti-fascist and “appearing to be decentralized, consisting of independent, radical, like-minded groups and individuals” while it stressed that a portion of Antifa movement members is willing to commit crimes to promote their beliefs. According to CRS, since 2016 counterterrorism experts at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have been increasingly concerned about violence perpetrated by Antifa supporters at public rallies where they confront their ideological opponents. “Presumably, the Bureau would investigate Antifa followers suspected of criminal activity as domestic terrorists, categorizing them as a type of anarchist extremist. FBI Director Christopher Wray has suggested as much, noting that the Bureau has opened counterterrorism investigations into people committing crimes in the name of Antifa beliefs,” the report said. Saying that violence by U.S. Antifa members is not new, the report mentioned a previous protest in 2017 in Portland, Oregon, and Charlottesville, Virginia. Antifa in Syria along with PKK’s offshoots What makes Antifa a potential threat are its ideological similarities to the YPG/PKK and its other branches in Syria, a terrorist organization which is engaged in a terror campaign against Turkey for over 40 years and is listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and European Union. The organization has been responsible for the deaths of 40,000 people, including women, children and infants in Turkey. For years there have been concerns and reports on the international stage that Antifa elements have joined the PKK terrorist group’s Syrian offshoot the YPG, allies of the U.S. in Syria which have been receiving significant training and aid under the pretext of fighting Daesh. Hundreds of civilians from Western nations have volunteered to fight among the ranks of the YPG in Syria to fight Daesh while a radicalized few even joined Daesh. Many Westerners inclined to the ideas of the radical left, joined the terrorist organization attracted by their talk of building an independent state in Syria. Antifa Handbook demonstrates PKK parallels Mark Bray, a history lecturer at Rutgers University and the author of “Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook,” explains the ideology of Antifa in his book and the obvious similarities with the PKK. Bray argued that jailed PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan was mostly inspired by American author Murray Bookchin's notion of libertarian municipalism, which led him to shift away from his Marxist-Leninist line toward horizontalist principles he called “Democratic Confederalism,” which is an ideological doctrine widely embraced by the Antifa. Surprisingly, the PKK has defined Bookchin as "one of the greatest social scientists of the 20th century" and vowed to put his ideas into action. In 2016, the PKK’s Antifascist International Tabur as part of the YPG was established in Syria, a unit mostly comprised of Westerners including communists, socialists and anarchists including Antifa. The unit is known to have taken part largely in the Syrian civil war. Rolling Stone Magazine in its 2018 dated article, “The Untold Story of Syria’s Antifa Platoon,” tells how the YPG trained anti-fascists coming from the Western world and the initial times of the group under its first commander Italian-Moroccan Karim Marcello Franceschi. The article wrote that in the hills of northeastern Syria, at a remote compound everyone called the Academy, which was basically a former oil facility turned into a training camp, volunteers from the U.S. and Europe received their training to fight alongside the YPG. “The Antifa Platoon operated in a legal no man’s land with no oversight apart from the SDF’s loosely organized command,” the article said. On the other side in 2017, the International Revolutionary People’s Guerrilla Forces (IRPGF), part of the PKK network, announced their establishment and ideologies, describing themselves as a horizontal collective working to defend social revolutions. Saying that the IRPGF is committed to anti-fascism, it mentioned its ties to the YPG, its sister group the YPJ, the PKK, the Antifascist International Tabur and the International Freedom Battalion’s member organizations. All these, indicate strong similarities between the ideologies of the PKK and Antifa. All eyes on YPG after US’ Antifa statement Turkey, a country that has been fighting terrorism for years, has frequently warned the U.S. against its support of the YPG, saying that it could backfire. Yet despite Turkey’s warnings and security concerns, the U.S. has provided military training and has given truckloads of military support to the YPG. Although it claimed numerous times that Daesh had been defeated, the U.S. support of the YPG continues. The $740.5 billion Pentagon budget proposed by the U.S. government this year will continue to provide funding for YPG/PKK terrorists in Syria, but it will slash it by a third compared with the previous year, while it includes more funding for nuclear weapons, research and development spending. The SDF is an umbrella organization predominantly led by the terrorist PKK's Syrian wing YPG. Meanwhile increasing numbers of actors in Washington argue that the U.S. administration invested in and supported the YPG so much in the fight against Daesh that it would be counterproductive to abandon this investment solely because of Turkey’s criticisms and complaints.
God really is very, very merciful. Astonishing mercy and love. It is astonishing that He does not strike certain people dead right on the spot. Although , now I recall; St Robert Bellarmine I think one time says that there is an endpoint to Mercy where Justice kicks in. A kind of End of the Line point. I have no idea if it is true but something to bear in mind.
How any well educated young person anywhere in the world can be a Marxist if they have ever opened a history book totally baffles me. Why would any sane person be a Communist?
We got into a discussion recently with a friend who is from Syria. He is a Syrian Catholic and has been here for 20+ years. He became an American. We recently talked about the riots and such and he said that the blm, antifa and the likes have their roots in the Middle East terrorist groups, hamas, isis, al quidah, etc. He said they are funded by all these organizations and are set to tear apart America which stands in the way of the NWO. Insightful.
IMO? By ignoring history and telling themselves it will work this time. I can understand where they are coming from in part. They are sick of the injustices they perceive to have been caused by capitalism which they align to fascism and racism. They blame external sources for their failures. It is human nature to do so. It is no great surprise also that the law in the US treats wealthy and poor radically different. In the US we have seen a growing class divide and our socio-economic policies have created not only a massive divide between rich and poor but more importantly have gutted the values and morals of our people with divorce, (lots of baby momma's out there) a lack of belief in God and in turn growing and seemingly endless despair. Having grown up relatively poor I would say that things are better for the poor now in the US than they have ever been. So long as one is willing to work and has at least a desire for self discipline and takes responsibility for their actions. Now if one is simply focused on partying and "living life to the fullest" by modern standards well here we are. Blaming everyone but yourself only goes so far though.
Now now! Stop this fear-mongering! There is no such thing as Antifa -OR- it's Trump supporters pretending to be Antifa.
I was thinking about Satan last night and about how he rarely or never tells and outright lie. He instead uses half truths. So with Communism it is true that Social Justice is very important. Its true that the lower down the ladder you are the worse he deal society tends to deal you. That Democracy an be a pain and so on. I am sorry I never studied the Church's Teachings on Social Justice. I hear they are superb. I hope they make a film on Dorothy Day, such an interesting woman. They way things are heading at the moment seems to be an engineered rerun of the 1930's and we all know how that turned out. Many , many countries will be ending up either Communist or Fascist.
The Nazis were national socialists. The communists in Germany were international socialists (based in Russia.) The German National socialists despised the international (communist) socialists, but BOTH were left wing. They were both leftist/socialist/communist. BLM and Antifa are international socialists too. They are Marxists and despite any Obama era holdover FBI leaders’ nonsense protestation to the contrary, represent the single largest threat to the USA today. Bar none. And they are serving EXACTLY the same purpose as Hitlers brown shirts. No, this is not an example of Godwin’s Law. It is simple reality. Anyone claiming otherwise is blinded by the complicit propaganda of the MSM and understands neither history nor the current situation. This is just another Marxist revolution.
Antifa are just proxy warriors of the globalist elites to destabilise Western civilization. Black Lives Matter, the Alphabet Pride marchers, Extinction Rebellion, Climate alarmists, State Covid fascists all proxy warrior groups funded by the elites. The aim is to bring in a new world order of totalitarian communism.
There are Christian militias in Syria fighting daesh, especially in Nineveh region. Unfortunately the media often associates them with YPG
Just finished listening to the first two talks on my walk. They are great! I am going to pass this series on to my friends. Thank you, Don.
