This from Law Enforcement Today:
A recently leaked email stemming from a former official from the Department of Homeland Security alleges that there’s “overwhelming intelligence” that the months of violence and riots in Portland have been organized by bad actors that are described as “Violent Antifa Anarchist Inspired”.
Catherine Herridge from CBS News recently shared the leaked email on Twitter, apparently this intel has been floating around the DHS since as early as July 25th.

“Anarchists or Antifa” READ: “We can’t say any longer that this violent situation is opportunistic. Additionally, we have overwhelmingly(sic) intelligence regarding the ideologies driving individuals toward violence + why the violence has continued. A core set of Threat actors

are organized and show up night after night, and share common TTPs (Tactics, Techniques and Procedures)..”
“Threat actors who are motivated by Anarchists or ANTIFA (or a combination of both) ideologies to carry out acts of violence against State, Local and Federal authorities..”

To the talking heads on CNN and MSNBC, I say: “no shit, you obtuse partisan hack motherfuckers.”
Those of us who watched the live streams and video captured by independent journalists with our own eyes, we saw what was clearly an organized and quasi-professional operation.
They had materiel supply lines gathering raw materials to mass manufacture shields and bombs, and distribute food and water. They had a JAG corps that was Johnny-on-the-spot bailing out arrested protesters with money from a central bail fund. They operated like a trained Phalanx, marching in cadence forming a shield wall. They had medics and people pretending to be medics to cause havoc. They had a coordinated use of direct energy blinding weapons.
This is for all intents and purposes a trained militia. There was no way in hell all of that just sort of came together randomly when protests broke out. That took a level of command and control that is months or years in the making.
Given what we saw in Portland versus the random violence we saw in Charlottesville back in 2017, it’s not unreasonable to assume that a contingent of hard-core Antifa/Leftists have spent the last three years organizing and training for exactly this, or probably the reelection of Trump in 2020, and that this is them putting their training to the test before “the big one” in February.
Thousands or tens of thousands of Antifa militia training and prepping for three years, led by a cadre of riot veterans from Portland and Seattle, would be a hell of a force for a police department to deal with when the police are expecting and used to random rioters.
At least some people at DHS have some idea of this, I wonder what they will do about it.
They won’t do a damn thing
I’m afraid you’re right. But one might dream of a visit by Seal Team 6 to the top paymasters.
“At least some people at DHS have some idea of this, I wonder what they will do about it.”
My question is why haven’t they done anything yet?
We pay good money for these fed law enforcement agencies. They should’ve been wrapping these fools up.
They’ve been forced to take too many Critical Race Theory training sessions.
Well, remember that DHS was invented for the purpose of doing what private security was doing before, but do it with much more pain for the customer, at much higher cost and much lower quality.
If the FBI were involved, we might perhaps stand a chance. At least if there is any honest person left in FBI management, which is not clear at all.
