It is deplorable that an organization such as Antifa along with Black Lives Matter (BLM), and the several subgroups of each of these organizations, are dominating cities such as Minneapolis, Portland, Oregon and Seattle.

It is despicable that over 260 major corporations are supporting BLM; directors of these corporations should be reprimanding or firing their CEOs. They are supporting destruction of public and private property and over 100 deaths so far. The list of these companies is provided in a previous blog post here. Many of you work for and probably most of us do regular business with these corporations. I have stopped doing business with most of these companies and I will quit all of them. I suggest that you do the same. We must not stop supporting businesses that support BLM leaders who proclaim, “We will burn down this system.”

Heather MacDonald at Manhattan Institute points out, “In fact, officers are at much greater risk from blacks than unarmed blacks are from police. Over the last decade, an officer’s chance of getting killed by a black has been 18.5 times higher than the chance of an unarmed black getting killed by a cop.”

“Empirical and anecdotal evidence shows that Antifa is, in fact, highly networked, well-funded and has a global presence. It has a flat organizational structure with dozens and possibly hundreds of local groups.”

“Antifa’s stated long-term objective, both in America and abroad, is to establish a communist world order. In the United States, Antifa’s immediate aim is to bring about the demise of the Trump administration.”

“A common tactic used by Antifa in the United States and Europe is to employ extreme violence and destruction of public and private property to goad the police into a reaction, which then “proves” Antifa’s claim that the government is “fascist.””

“Antifa is not only officially tolerated, but is being paid by the German government to fight the far right. — Bettina Röhl, German journalist, Neue Zürcher Zeitung, June 2, 2020.””

“Out of cowardice, its members cover their faces and keep their names secret. Antifa constantly threatens violence and attacks against politicians and police officers. It promotes senseless damage to property amounting to vast sums.” — Bettina Röhl, Neue Zürcher Zeitung, June 2, 2020.”
