What's Antifa, really? And why does neither left nor right consider looking into it?

[Mark Crispin Miller]

Antifa—like every other feature of the current crisis—has intensified the national

division. The left sees Antifa as heroes; the right sees Antifa as ultra-leftist thugs.

However much they hate each other, both tribes agree that Antifa is an authentic

corps of anti-fascist civilians, and, therefore, not a "movement" guided by state 

agents acting under cover. 

This likelihood explains why so few Antifa (if any) have been arrested. This oddity

has been reported only to "debunk" Trump's claim that the protests are Antifa-driven:

The assumption there is that Antifa can't be active in/around the protests, since, 

if they were, the cops would have arrested them. The likelihood that the police

have not arrested any Antifa because those ruffians are cops themselves is as 

inconceivable to those reporters as it is to Antifa's leftist fans and haters on the right.

Speaking of the latter, here's the link to Project Veritas' video exposing Antifa's

secret training for ultra-violence. Since Project Veritas is conservative, an 

investigative outlet run by rightist James O'Keefe—notorious for going after

ACORN and Planned Parenthood—he reflexively casts Antifa as a real grass-roots

movement led by the "far left." Myopic though it is, this video is well worth 

watching for its revelation of the brutal tactics coolly taught to Antifa's shock

troops behind closed doors.

What's really threatening us the most right now is not the cops or Antifa (assuming

there's a difference), or any other of the looming threats before us, but the abject

credulity of left and right alike, all (so far) dangerously uninformed as to how

propaganda works, and stone-blind to the ever-clearer evidence of mass

manipulation at its most sophisticated, happening here, and all over the world,

right now.
