Anarchists Detonate IED at Portland Federal Courthouse

Video is surfacing from last night’s ongoing insurrection in Portland, which saw an escalation in violence graduating from simple fireworks to what appears to be legitimate IEDs:

Another view:

Sure looks like an IED to me, and I would know. These are domestic enemies. Ain’t gonna be long like this.

    “Anarchists”? Really? When the hell are people going to wise the hell up and start calling them what they are… REVOLUTIONARY COMMUNISTS, MARXISTS, f-ing COMMIES. Anarchist is benign sounding, it helps them run under the radar of the not so swift American public who look at Anarchists as dopey college kids acting up, ANTIFA is an organized, well funded revolutionary movement.

      An anarchist is a revolutionary communist.

    This is a very old dance.
    The RevComs are trying, step by step, to goad the .gov into using lethal force.
    Then, the RevComs will have their “martyr.”
    I think this play worked before modern media, when the “Selma Bridge” network TV camera film could begin with police dogs and fire hoses, not the instigation.
    Now we see it all.
    AG Barr today shows, given the limitations of the venue, a pretty good understanding of the dance.
    Garrett Foster in Austin, in another era, could have become the RevCom martyr.
    But the RevCom playbook is outdated. Now, conservative Americans applaud his dirt nap, and fence-sitters buy their first gun and move from blue hives to red states.

    Generally I like to figure things out myself. But the logic escapes me that while mayhem not only drags on it escalates too without being answered by sufficient force is our best strategy.
    The concern for “creating martyrs” seems to be those handcuffs that every mutt and traitor revels in exploiting.
    When being attacked, fight or flight, I get that. But continually hunkering down and absorbing blow after blow… Matt Bracken please share your ideas of when we can (if ever) go weapons free on bomb-throwing, laser blinding enemies? Thank you.

    So far, the Feds have resisted using lethal force, at some point, they will be compelled to let loose the dogs of war, and take preemptive offensive or reactive defensive action, ala the Israelis using .22’s or heavier firepower..

    From https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2015/10/21/israel-adopts-ruger-sr-22-in-less-lethal-sniper-role/

    # Killing dogs in the vicinity of a target
    # Injuring leaders of violent demonstrations or violent participants of a violent demonstration.
    # The IDF uses it as a mid-range system that is “less lethal than” military caliber rifles (5.56mm/7.62mm) and capable of hurting severely enough to stop them using committing violence (throwing rocks or molotov cocktails).
    # Can be used more accuracy at distances, unlike a rubber bullet or baton round.
    # It is used when it is not safe enough to get close enough to use a rubber bullet or baton round.

    I see darker days, more of this happening….

    One mans ied is just another mans fireworks.

    That said,limited my ied’s to the 4th(OK,perhaps the 2nd and 3rd also),and was in a abandoned sand pit,not building in a neighborhood.

      Negative.

    James Carpenter: I completely understand what you are saying and why, it was the same question me and my other buddies were asking back when I was in Iraq. Every time an insurgent shot at us or stuck their head out we were pissed that our CO wouldn’t launch QRF so we could go out and level them. (And get that coveted Combat Action Ribbon). Little did we know that there was an entire intelligence gathering operation going on to map out the insurgency in the area. Us junior NCO’s didn’t have a need to know for such things. But then one night a friendly ODA team shows up out of the middle of no where and next thing you know we’re rolling up and black bagging dudes in the middle of the night like it’s the new national past time. Soon the HUMINT guys are getting these insurgents to roll on each other and their chain of command, and off we go into the lime green shadows to add more “dirties” to the collection. The point to all of this is that we could have attempted to engage the insurgents in the open, possibly getting a few kills, but dead men tell no tales. I would bet that the reason they aren’t engaging, yet, is because they don’t want to, yet.

    If Trump wins in November, .gov can take the gloves off without the consequence of affecting the election. Until then, they have to suck it up.

  9. Jose July 28, 2020 at 20:10

    This will continue and the election will be “contested”. That is the plan. Trump will see he won, the media will say he didn’t, and that is when the real fireworks will start. In the meantime they are just scouting and practicing with these attacks. The real craziness (darkness) will begin when the Global UN begins to support (information wise) the commies After the election. My Cuban family will tell you they will never admit they are communist till they are in power. They will then turn our home into an inferno. By the way, they tend to not take prisoners. A few family members, and thousands of others, got put up against a wall and shot. They called it called ‘Paredon’.

    It is time to start killing these communists and criminals. Set up the snipers and search for the white bastards that hang out towards the back. Double-tap those bastards right where they stand.

    A person climbs a fence, shoot them. A person shines a last, shoot them. Anyone throws a molotov cocktail, shoot them.

    The Feds need to start eliminating these bastards.

    I must agree with Jeb, calling them Anarchists isn’t really calling a duck a duck. They’re communist bolsheviks. It’s true that many are “Anarcho Communists” (which is ridiculous, who enforces the communism?). But there are anarcho capitalists as well, also unrealistic imo but they’re more aligned with the original Constitution as in before there were umpteen federal police agencies and indeed police departments themselves. In any case I hope another commenter here is right and that this is just an intel gathering phase and not a precursor to European style Anarcho Tyranny.

    • NC Scout July 29, 2020 at 09:24

      An Anarchist IS a both a revolutionary and a communist, no matter what hyphen they use to make it more palatable.

      Words have meaning.

      • americanlife702 July 29, 2020 at 10:04

        An anarcho capitalist is a communist? Wasn’t Thomas Jefferson an anarcho capitalist? Not trying to split hairs or be a troll here..

        • NC Scout July 29, 2020 at 10:14

          No, he sure as hell wasn’t.

    After doing a little reading up on anarchists I now understand NCScouts dislike for the anarcho-communists, not that I was ever confused about the dislike for communists, but I always thought anarchies were the total absence of authority and therefore the most individual liberty you could theoretically have. It seems there’s more than that to anarchy, and a communist anarchy seems like the worst form of communism.

    I wish Badlands was correct, but I see recent photos and video with the same old familiar Portland antifa members doing the same things they have been doing in that city for years. The girl who famously got hit by the pickup truck years ago in some long forgotten Portland clash is still out there with her usual sidekicks. Even a casual observer could have mapped the key players just by pouring over all the old and new video . I don’t think the mapping is being done at all, let alone the takedown. That and the obvious political and media topcover lead me to conclude that no one in government will stop them. It also appears to me that they have essentially shifted to a wartime posture and are probably “living in the field” at forward safe houses instead of their peacetime domiciles and they just walk down to the riot every night. Fortunately for us, they failed to disarm us before reaching this stage and that failure could well be our salvation and their undoing.

    You guys are right in that they are Marxist commies. But don’t miss the fact that they are anti-white racists also, even though most of them are white blm apologists.
