Human Events Daily with Jack Posobiec - EPISODE 369： THE ANTIFA FILES PART 3

00:00:00.000 ladies and gentlemen welcome aboard to part three of the antifa files antifa america now

00:00:18.600 we've been taking you through the history of antifa in europe that's where it originated

00:00:23.440 so we went through already the founder of antifa ernst talman who walked you through his entire

00:00:30.960 history how he was handpicked by the ussr by the bolsheviks by the soviets to be their man

00:00:40.840 in berlin he was the head of the communist party of deutschland in the weimar republic

00:00:47.840 he was later imprisoned and executed by adolf hitler we talked about the communism

00:00:55.160 we talked about the spanish civil war the communists the antifa that ran there

00:01:02.220 throughout the 1930s we then got into

00:01:06.680 the 1960s the 1970s touched on the 1980s with what the red army faction red army faction

00:01:17.440 was a kgb sponsored terror organization communist terror organization that operated throughout west

00:01:25.560 germany you watch diehard hans gruber those guys are based on the red army faction

00:01:31.460 but how did antifa arrive in america i think most people like myself first remember hearing about

00:01:39.920 antifa in 2016 the attacks on trump rallies that took place throughout that year

00:01:47.080 and then of course january 20th 2017 when antifa conducted a massive attack

00:01:54.760 on president trump's inauguration those they never talk about that see i was actually there i lived

00:02:00.420 through it and in fact my pre-inauguration ball the night before the deplorable came under heavy

00:02:07.880 antifa attack as well

00:02:09.560 and so people said who are these people dressed in black screaming chanting attacking us

00:02:20.040 well let's walk back let's walk back all of that a little bit

00:02:25.320 see when they all dress in black that's referred to as the black block where did the black block 0.98

00:02:34.300 originate believe it or not the term was coined again west germany a hotbed of antifa activity

00:02:40.980 the 70s and 80s between squatters who were bohemians part of this left-wing bohemian group called the

00:02:48.760 at the autonomen in german the phrase is der schwarzblock and when the west german police would carry out

00:02:57.180 eviction actions against the autonomen the activists would defend their squads by wearing heavy black

00:03:03.160 clothing helmets ski masks boots and carrying melee weapons such as clubs projectiles and shields

00:03:08.940 they would respond to police officers by constructing barriers and throwing molotov cocktails

00:03:13.700 right from the start in 1980 the black blocks of west germany were as militant and violent as those 1.00

00:03:19.820 that would become commonplace in the united states 40 years later

00:03:22.440 the west german police eventually defeated the autonomen with new laws that were passed 0.93

00:03:29.440 banning the carrying of weapons by protesters and the wearing of helmets and padding during protests

00:03:35.640 these laws would likely trouble or likely have trouble getting passed here in the united states

00:03:41.820 due to liberal jurisdictions but this predated the rise of the internet and that's what people need

00:03:47.300 to understand because the black blocks back then the way that this tactic spread throughout europe and

00:03:54.360 then eventually north america was key to the spread of the international anarcho-communist movement

00:03:59.500 and believe it or not it was helped along by what the punk scene of the 1980s and this of course was

00:04:06.580 everyone who's listened any you know punk rock knows that there was a close association between the far

00:04:11.980 left and punk many bands of course were openly political and spread the word in fan magazines and tours

00:04:17.420 especially across western europe and then eventually into the united states there was a black block used at least

00:04:23.300 once in a protest against the gulf war in washington dc all the way back in 1991 this may have been the

00:04:30.260 earliest use of a black block in the united states now there are three types of black blocks there's

00:04:37.240 the open block which is a general call that goes out to all interested to gather and act in a single

00:04:43.660 block open meetings that are held to discuss goals and strategies the second type is the semi-open block

00:04:49.960 this organization takes place in secret between people who know and trust each other but when the

00:04:55.000 block itself comes together others in the block in block attire are invited to it and then there's a

00:05:00.500 closed block in a closed block the participants prepare in secret they all know each other and they do not

00:05:06.940 allow anyone to come in and now black blocks of course will work with affinity groups so we saw this in 2020 0.95

00:05:12.820 the black blocks would affiliate with the black lives matter protesters of course in 2020 they were all 0.96

00:05:19.220 wearing masks so antifa was able to seamlessly work into those crowds now in general unlike most paramilitary

00:05:27.140 units black blocks are not hierarchical they pride themselves on the decentralized structure mapping of

00:05:33.020 course is integral to the black block planning cycle they will lay down staging areas main routes escape route

00:05:38.620 locations where the police will mass target uh for violence and spots for resources black block

00:05:43.920 participants typically will write down the phone number of legal contacts on their bodies in permanent

00:05:48.880 marker they'll cover up tattoos remove identifying piercings they won't carry id uh anarchist literature

00:05:55.380 in some cases they're told cell phones must be left to their staging areas um this is of course currently

00:05:59.940 now something to really understand there are three tiers to a black block green yellow and red

00:06:07.380 the green zone is the sanctuary they are the ones who are sort of your your day trippers your people

00:06:14.180 who are there they're just dressed up they want to wear black but they don't want to participate in

00:06:17.400 violence then there's your yellow your yellow tier is a pyramid so your yellow or your organizers

00:06:24.320 they're the ones directing traffic and then finally you have your reds and the red antifa those are the

00:06:30.080 ones that are going to commit actual direct action now i saw this when i used to infiltrate antifa

00:06:36.520 meetings myself and we've seen this in other operations that we've run infiltrating those

00:06:41.200 meetings in washington dc believe it or not i actually infiltrated the own meeting where they

00:06:49.700 were planning to attack my deplorable unfortunately for us because we knew what they were planning

00:06:56.180 we had police we had the riot squad we had everyone on standby well that doesn't mean that violence

00:07:03.480 didn't take place but it did mean that we were able to keep everyone safe and we duly of course

00:07:10.300 reported it to the metropolitan police department of washington dc to the secret service to anyone

00:07:15.820 else who was who was willing to listen and the fbi as you can imagine the fbi was very very interested

00:07:21.040 in that yeah right so you have to be clear antifa and these black blocks which started all the way back

00:07:31.600 in the 1970s they've become advanced they've become sophisticated they know how to operate

00:07:39.940 go back and look at the george floyd riots one person runs by a room a display case with a window

00:07:46.560 smashes it with a hammer the next person runs up throws in a smoke bomb throws in a cherry bomb

00:07:52.440 throws in some other kind of improvised explosive these are operations when they attack someone with

00:07:59.400 milkshakes what happens first the milkshake goes into blind like what happened to andy no then the

00:08:04.440 rest come in to pummel so he can't identify them understand this is part of their plan

00:08:10.600 so the black block was now there in the united states in the early 90s now for various reasons

00:08:21.960 antifa antifa targeted and found a lot of purchase and the groups that later became antifa

00:08:32.720 in the pacific northwest this all culminated in 1999 at what was called the battle of seattle

00:08:41.340 and believe it or not this was an anti-globalist anti-globalization

00:08:47.960 protest that turned into a riot why because antifa was protesting i kid you not antifa was protesting at

00:08:57.840 the time the accession of china into the world trade organization and the development about of the

00:09:05.520 international monetary fund and the world bank now they saw this as arms of global capitalism and

00:09:11.600 that's why they were against it from the left but it's actually kind of interesting that when you

00:09:16.140 look back at 1999 that back then the washington state uh convention center antifa was actually

00:09:25.280 against globalism you'll never hear that today so why seattle and why are seattle and portland so

00:09:33.360 heavily associated with antifa where did this movement come from well i talked before about music

00:09:38.880 and you can't separate that now of course there was also a connection between punk and metal and

00:09:45.480 skinheads and one of the reasons for that uh the pacific northwest targeting is because at the time 0.99

00:09:54.940 the aryan brotherhood and many other neo-nazi groups were targeting the pacific northwest because

00:10:00.320 they were looking at this for the purposes of the resettlement of a white or the establishment of a

00:10:05.240 white homeland so they moved from california and other places to the pacific northwest then what do

00:10:13.660 you have in seattle you have the outbreak of grunge uh the whole grunge scene explodes there sub pop

00:10:19.700 comes out of course nirvana famously kirk cobain obviously an anarchist comes out of all of this and

00:10:25.740 by the way i'm not bashing kirk cobain blah blah blah i'm making i'm just i'm just pointing out

00:10:29.520 that this is what was going on at the time alice and turnivana's calm down that uh you have this

00:10:37.760 whole scene erupting and then on the backs of grunge on the backs of everything else that comes out of

00:10:42.560 seattle you have this huge antifa movement that's brought along with it and kirk cobain used to have

00:10:48.560 stickers on stage you know throw a rock at a cop punch nazis all that stuff so at the battle seattle

00:10:56.700 november 30th to december 3rd 1999 you know kirk cobain had since departed at this point

00:11:03.480 these were riots that went on again and again throughout all of this you had people put you

00:11:13.520 had protesters through what they called at the time the direct action network anarchists coming in

00:11:18.880 from all over washington state all over oregon to conduct vandalism attack police officers try to shut

00:11:27.460 down the entire thing this is one of the first places that you saw these types of tactics and of

00:11:33.740 course the ubiquitous black block was all over it but the point was to shut down shut down the 0.99

00:11:42.960 organization shut down the meetings and back then guess what they called in two battalions 0.75

00:11:51.440 of army national guardsmen to shut down the riots major clashes took place rocks bottles police

00:12:00.280 concussion grenades the black block was all over the place in fact some areas of this some areas of the

00:12:07.040 battle seattle even took place on the very same ground that years later in 2020 about what 21 years

00:12:17.860 later the capitol hill autonomous zone the chas would be set up again in clashes with police and then

00:12:27.540 later at the time that mayor jenny durkin ordered the police to stand down and gave up abdicated part of

00:12:34.800 her city to antifa and at which point my brother and i decided to infiltrate we went into chas we spent

00:12:43.660 about a week there day and night switching uniforms going in and out but those same antifa militants

00:12:51.960 had developed from this earlier strain at the battle of seattle there's a movie about this believe it

00:13:00.680 or not the battle in seattle you can go check it out by stewart townsend 2007 is when it came out

00:13:07.300 now of course it takes you know this you know this take on uh you know the protesters were people

00:13:13.460 and uh you know there were other people committing committing attacks etc but point is you can go

00:13:20.460 actually go look at this the police had a sense of being besieged and there are there are arguments

00:13:27.160 back and forth whether or not molotov cocktails were actually used but for in north america the

00:13:35.000 anarchists the antifa there they viewed the world trade center riots the battle of seattle as a

00:13:41.260 success because at the time they wanted this discussion to come forward believe it or not of

00:13:50.560 anti-globalization you have to understand the numbers involved there were nearly 40 000 antifa

00:14:00.980 anarchists and militants that showed up to this thing that doesn't mean that all of them were

00:14:06.120 violent but it is a huge piece of america's left-wing lost history and that's what we're trying to

00:14:15.460 explain through the antifa files like the spanish civil war like what's going on in rojava

00:14:22.780 and syria right now with the kurds these are the type of things that the radical left the far left

00:14:31.460 gloms onto and so when they looked at the battle of seattle romanticized it and by the way that led to

00:14:41.180 the resignation of the police chief of seattle norm stamper they got a resignation of a police chief

00:14:49.380 out of it and so for 20 years really 10 years antifa continued to grow and fester and nest in seattle

00:15:01.620 and all of this would come to a head in a decade's time during occupy wall street and we'll talk about

00:15:09.280 that a little bit in the next segment because we have to understand that this is why portland and seattle

00:15:18.340 saw these twisted dystopian networks grow

00:15:23.880 and it is ironic by the way a lot of people point this out that just like the white separatists believed

00:15:33.980 in the early 1980s about the pacific northwest being this sort of uh you know area of a white homeland or

00:15:41.940 whatever they still are some of the whitest cities in america today and though antifa doesn't talk about

00:15:47.840 anti-globalization anymore what do they talk about is diversity we need diversity we need more

00:15:52.720 diversity diversity is our strength and yet you go and look at any of the antifa in there and guess 0.89

00:15:59.080 what they're all lily white and they're all looking like a bunch of bio degenerate freaks every single 1.00

00:16:06.460 one of them and that's why we like posting their mugshots and we will continue coming back up next

00:16:11.980 the battle of seattle and occupy wall street

00:16:14.240 so let's fast forward from the battle of seattle to november 2011 zaccati park new york city

00:16:25.420 occupy wall street occupy wall street was one of the first mass movements that we saw in the internet

00:16:37.260 era predated maga predated black lives matter but it was very much driven by social media and driven by

00:16:47.680 the internet now what was occupy wall street in response to well it was it was in response to

00:16:54.960 the global recession the massive bailouts by government of the big banks

00:17:03.800 and the fact that you had the rich becoming so insanely richer while the people of the nations were starving

00:17:13.840 and that everybody who lived through the global financial crisis

00:17:19.520 that wasn't on the winning side of it

00:17:23.280 you lost everything

00:17:26.760 for

00:17:28.680 millennials and people in that generation

00:17:32.700 meant you were sold a bill of goods

00:17:37.520 it meant that if you graduated college

00:17:40.860 in the global recession

00:17:42.960 you were making less money

00:17:46.760 than you would have been able to to even service your loans

00:17:50.560 to even pay the interest

00:17:52.240 that's why many people are referring to the millennials

00:17:57.240 as part of a lost generation 0.62

00:17:59.980 because so many put off family formation put off home buying

00:18:04.360 so many of these acts

00:18:06.340 that lead to family for

00:18:08.980 to lead to having families having children

00:18:11.000 and then having more people in the workforce

00:18:12.820 and occupy wall street was a response to a lot of that

00:18:17.340 a lot of that anger

00:18:20.380 those bailouts

00:18:22.220 and so

00:18:24.060 the

00:18:25.020 anti-consumerism magazine ad busters

00:18:28.320 which is actually canadian

00:18:30.120 set this off

00:18:31.220 the slogan

00:18:31.740 we are the 99%

00:18:33.480 and you are the 1%

00:18:35.480 and so the occupy movement started in wall street in new york city

00:18:39.300 zaccati park

00:18:40.000 spread throughout the world

00:18:42.820 i remember seeing them in philadelphia

00:18:44.060 and there were hippies

00:18:46.740 and

00:18:47.380 there were

00:18:48.420 it was nasty and dyshygienic

00:18:50.580 and

00:18:52.280 and

00:18:52.600 and in a lot of these cases

00:18:54.100 a lot of these cases

00:18:55.220 there were rapes and sexual assaults

00:18:57.220 in the tent cities that took place there

00:18:58.800 and there were antifa

00:19:01.660 and there were black blocks

00:19:03.000 and

00:19:04.180 i've always

00:19:06.840 i've always thought

00:19:08.280 that it's

00:19:09.460 i don't know if it's ironic 0.84

00:19:11.260 or just ridiculous 0.92

00:19:13.140 but that occupy wall street 0.91

00:19:15.460 was against wall street

00:19:18.320 and then black lives matter 0.63

00:19:21.500 was underwritten by wall street

00:19:24.180 so the very same people

00:19:27.040 and all they did was throw the word

00:19:29.840 diversity

00:19:30.720 and wokeism

00:19:31.980 white supremacy

00:19:35.060 systemic racism 0.91

00:19:36.240 it

00:19:38.600 i don't think this is what happened

00:19:42.820 but in my head

00:19:43.880 there's an interesting

00:19:46.180 timing

00:19:47.920 as steve would say

00:19:49.220 there are no conspiracies

00:19:50.760 but there are coincidences

00:19:51.840 look at the timing

00:19:52.620 wokeism gets unleashed

00:19:57.620 cultural marxism

00:19:58.660 which is just another word for

00:19:59.640 for wokeism

00:20:00.500 gets unleashed

00:20:01.920 just two years

00:20:03.060 after occupy wall street

00:20:04.440 because suddenly people

00:20:06.060 are talking about the banks

00:20:06.980 and suddenly people

00:20:07.580 are talking about

00:20:08.080 the financial institutions

00:20:09.160 ron paul's out there

00:20:10.080 and he's talking about the fed

00:20:11.160 and they don't want people

00:20:12.940 talking about that

00:20:13.740 so what starts getting pushed

00:20:17.060 cultural marxism

00:20:18.480 see marxism never worked

00:20:20.380 in the united states

00:20:22.660 it was never able to really

00:20:23.540 gain purchase

00:20:24.200 because the united states

00:20:25.540 is a massive middle class

00:20:26.800 because the united states

00:20:28.220 is not a pyramid structure

00:20:29.280 like imperial russia

00:20:31.100 or china

00:20:33.180 where people are

00:20:34.280 where there's a few at the top

00:20:35.500 there's some in the middle

00:20:36.200 and then the vast majority

00:20:36.940 of people at the bottom

00:20:37.640 no

00:20:37.880 america is

00:20:39.060 had a massive middle class

00:20:40.680 and was more of a diamond shape

00:20:42.360 so how do you divide america

00:20:45.080 if you can't divide it by class

00:20:46.340 simple

00:20:47.040 you just add an additional element

00:20:49.740 and that element is

00:20:51.280 race

00:20:52.120 gender

00:20:53.080 ethnicity

00:20:54.040 and suddenly

00:20:56.340 you can get america

00:20:57.660 falling over

00:20:59.220 themselves

00:21:00.000 and you can get groups

00:21:02.000 like antifa 1.00

00:21:02.700 which are led by idiots 1.00

00:21:05.020 by the way 1.00

00:21:05.640 go read eric hofer

00:21:07.400 true believer

00:21:07.980 to understand this

00:21:08.920 every movement

00:21:11.220 requires

00:21:12.200 a devil

00:21:13.560 but not every movement

00:21:14.900 requires god

00:21:15.960 not every movement

00:21:18.140 requires god

00:21:18.920 but every movement

00:21:19.700 requires a devil

00:21:20.580 and so

00:21:21.780 originally

00:21:22.460 antifa's devil

00:21:23.640 was that of communism

00:21:25.400 i should say

00:21:26.520 their god

00:21:26.860 was that of communism

00:21:27.660 and so their devil

00:21:28.900 the devil of communism 0.76

00:21:30.040 is what

00:21:30.540 capitalism

00:21:31.180 but if you notice

00:21:33.240 very interesting

00:21:34.540 antifa doesn't talk 0.96

00:21:36.360 about capitalism anymore

00:21:37.500 they don't talk

00:21:38.020 about the one percent

00:21:38.780 they don't talk

00:21:39.320 about wall street

00:21:40.000 the way they did

00:21:40.520 in 2011

00:21:41.100 that spread

00:21:42.260 throughout the world

00:21:42.920 what do they talk

00:21:44.740 about

00:21:45.020 racism

00:21:46.560 racism 0.97

00:21:47.640 is the new devil 0.97

00:21:48.660 and racism 0.82

00:21:49.640 is everywhere

00:21:50.760 you have to find it

00:21:53.140 everyone's guilty

00:21:54.420 of racism

00:21:55.180 and so it is not

00:21:56.040 good enough

00:21:56.440 to simply be

00:21:57.040 not racist

00:21:57.560 you must be

00:21:58.060 actively anti-racist

00:21:59.240 you must

00:21:59.920 take part

00:22:01.160 and so they

00:22:02.720 unleash these forces

00:22:04.000 in order

00:22:06.940 for everyone

00:22:07.780 to stop paying

00:22:08.320 attention to them

00:22:08.900 in order

00:22:10.600 to sow chaos

00:22:13.080 throughout

00:22:14.820 the populists

00:22:16.160 in the country

00:22:16.820 and to change

00:22:18.180 the entire paradigm

00:22:19.100 around

00:22:19.620 to inflame

00:22:23.780 ethnic

00:22:24.860 tensions

00:22:25.580 that in the

00:22:27.160 united states

00:22:27.820 if you look

00:22:28.420 throughout the

00:22:28.760 1990s

00:22:29.400 the early 2000s

00:22:30.360 they just

00:22:30.900 didn't exist

00:22:31.960 they just

00:22:33.420 didn't exist

00:22:34.400 not the way

00:22:36.460 they do today

00:22:37.060 this was unleashed

00:22:40.080 on the united states

00:22:41.300 and antifa

00:22:42.460 was more than

00:22:43.840 happy

00:22:51.080 and so that's

00:22:53.180 what led

00:22:53.620 from 2011

00:22:54.840 antifa
