America has descended into rampant lawlessness.
On May 31, 2020, President Trump said he “will” declare Antifa to be terrorists.
Why the future tense?
Doesn’t Trump know that more than four years ago in April 2016, the Obama administration’s DHS/FBI already had identified Antifa as domestic terrorists?
Antifa are more than terrorists: they are taking over Seattle to set up their own territory.
Last weekend, Antifa took over six square blocks in the Capitol Hill region of the city of Seattle, WA, declaring the blocks to be an “autonomous zone” that belongs to Antifa.
Gateway Pundit reports that Antifa erected barricades around the border of six city blocks and asked “folks with firearms” to take shifts “defending” the barricades.
Antifa are also demanding the businesses within the zone to pay them for “security”. Yesterday, business owners reported threats by the Antifa thugs if they would not pay for their “security”.
Ian Miles Cheong, the managing editor of Human Events, tweeted this social media post by Marcus S., a Seattle business owner:
Emboldened by the inaction of Seattle’s mayor and police, the Antifa terrorists say they will expand the zone and invade police precincts. The Post Millennial reports:
Following the surrender of the East Precinct of the Seattle Police Department to an Antifa mob and the occupation of Seattle City Hall, a source on the ground in Seattle says that other police precincts around the city are preparing to be the next targets.
Regarding the autonomous zone established by the Antifa-led mob, the source—whose anonymity we are protecting—says, “They bar media from entering and screen people coming in. They are walking around fully armed. Talking about making their own currency and making their own flag. SPD is talking about abandoning the west precinct now.
“West precinct has the 911 call centre. This is just like the Occupy movement. Soon we will have feces and drugs everywhere and people getting assaulted and raped in the encampments.
According to Andy Ngo, the editor-at-large of The Post Millennial, who had battled Antifa thugs in Portland, OR, the Seattle Antifa have a sub-Reddit forum on which they are posting about making homemade chemical weapons (chlorine gas), how to maintain water supply, and how to use volunteers armed with guns to push police back.
Last night, President Trump warned Washington governor Jay Inslee and Seattle mayor Jenny Durkan — both Demonrats — that if they don’t immediately take back the city, he will.

I visit Seattle annually to see family/friends. Not this year. I’ll be flying to the east side of the mountains to stay w/dad. Not stepping foot in that sh*thole of Seattle. Too many crazy, crazy folk there.
If I did own a business, and had 5 thugs enter demanding protection money, I would consider it no different than any robbery, which any business owner should have prepared for, and have a planned defensive response.
Can anyone say ISIS in the USA yet?
Sorry to say, the federal government, including the President, is a toothless tiger when it comes to the most basic Constitutional functions of government:
Establish justice
Insure domestic tranquillity
Provide for the common defense
It’s like they are operating under the ANTI Constitution.
Don’t forget about “protection against terrorists, foreign and DOMESTIC.” This is insurrection. It must be put down.
They are anarchists who have no respect for authority; certainly not for Democratic government, personal property or capitalism, conservatives, or Christians, but not *even* for Democrats and LIBERALS. They are attacking even the limpest of mayors and governors and challenging them, and I’ve yet to see anyone take them on.
President Trump is letting the radical anarchist left self destruct. Don’t think for a minute that FEDERAL law enforcement is not only fully aware of this, but also everyone involved at every level. State and local officials legally CANNOT stop or interfere with Federal law enforcement enforcing federal law. What is happening in Seattle most definitely constitutes serious federal crimes. Corrupt local DAs CANNOT “let them off” on federal charges, and they won’t be free to go. After 1.5 days they ran out of food and had to beg for more soy and faux-foo. Quickest collapse of a “communist… Read more »
Trump is so often full of hot air. We’ll see what he actually does.
This is worse than a Mafia shake down.
These pansies called for materials to be delivered, 4x4x8s. Know that they forgot to ask for? Tools to put up their new wall.
So Marcus the business owner was told to pay $500 for protection. You know what else that would pay for, Marcus? A nice, shiny 2nd Amendment device. Excellent for self-defense.
In order to use a gun in Seattle, Marcus would have to fill out paperwork for a gun permit, get background check with permit, wait for Seattle Police to process his application and wait 30 days. But I bet that waiting period is a lot longer now due to other priorities for the police. Wonder if the armed residents of CHAZ have legally obtained gun permits to protect their new bordered-up zone?
At the point where I’m being threatened by anarchists who hate everything about my country and are actively, openly trying to overtake it, I don’t really care what the law says, I’m going to get a gun however and where ever, to protect myself and my property when the police refuse or are unable to. Especially if it’s the left and progies who were responsible for trying to hinder my 2nd Amendment rights in order to make way for the anarchists… If it’s not possible, then I’d get the hell out of Dodge. But I’m reading the locals… Read more »
Wow, hope you family member survives Seattle. They are in for a wild ride there, no doubt.
Great job, Mayor Durkan! “9-1-1 response times have tripled in the area, Seattle’s police chief says, harming victims of violent crimes. Seattle Police Chief: “Rapes, robberies and all sorts of violent acts have been occurring in the area and we’re not able to get to [them].”

How is this not an act of war? How is it not an invading force that must be met with military violence?
We have some family friends who own a Seattle restaurant just outside this zone. The Dad is a big manly Eastern European dude. Probably 6 3 and he and his beautiful family live in a small home above the restaurant . Even the kids cook and clean and wait tables. The Antifa thugs came to shake him down and he stood outside and told the thugs he would kill every last one of them with his own hands if they came near his family and they scampered off like scared rats and went across the street and hit and destroyed… Read more »
How “peaceful” of CHAZ. Did he report this to the police or mayor’s office?
I am not sure that anyone is getting help or protection from the City of Seattle. I know a lot of people are thinking it’s a street party, but it does not look or seem very safe.
What a cluster…
