Its TOTALLY NOT an Insurrection: Portland Courthouse once again Under Seige
The siege of the Federal Courthouse in Portland is once again underway by local elements of AntiFa, proving once more that the government’s attempts at appeasing them was a pointless gesture. Its definitely NOT an insurrection however, unlike the Stop the Steal protest, which was an insurrection despite the lack of arms and the fact that they returned home that day. AntiFa has been at it since June.
Local and federal officials held conversations over several months to determine the best time to take the fence down. The Department of Homeland Security told FOX 12 on Friday that the decision to remove the fencing on Wednesday was “made in collaboration with local leaders from Portland as part of a broader effort to help the city return to normalcy.”
However, just one day after the fencing was removed, rioters marched down the streets of Portland, setting fires and smashing windows.
But what about the National Guard? Surely they’d be called to protect Federal Infrastructure from an armed group with a demonstrated propensity for violence? Correct? Nah, they’re in Washington protecting you from me.
Ah, but its not an insurrection. An insurrection would require the use of arms.
This was gear recovered on the scene.
As the event unfolded, groups formed on the outside and physically challenged officers. Some threw rocks and full cans of beer at officers. Officers deployed some OC (pepper) spray and one impact munition.
Where are the flags at half mast? The Congressional hearings? The FBI is on this one, right?
No, they’re not. And its barely a footnote in the news because you don’t live in a coherent Nation. Just wait till this summer.

These are the times when American flag might be flown upside down.
With a Lima flag just below (Black or Yellow)
The selective enforcement of law competes with the presence of no law
One claims a monopoly on use of violence, the other is, at least, more honest.
Most of my outgoing mail is sent with upside down flag stamps
That’s black AND yellow, sailor.
Something that occurred to me just recently. I honestly think that fencing and heavy force in DC has very little to do with MAGA supporters. Instead it is merely disguised as the reason to fool the sheeple. The people they are really nervous about is rogue elements within their own paramilitary (blantifa). You gotta think how many times did we (at least myself anyhow) get nervous and revved up last fall when DT was in the WhiteHouse?
I was very concerned with 10 to 20 thousand of those little shit stains showing up ramming their way over the WH gate/fence and burning down the place. I was deeply concerned about that as in what kind of message would that send? Back in the good old days you take out a dozen as soon as they touched the WH lawn but that was then. Now don’t think for a second the order to not only kill people from the right would be issued, it would be followed. The left has no qualms about putting us down.
I doubt they care about putting blantifa down either but it could drive a wedge between the left leadership and their paramilitary next time they need them. I am sure they will be called on soon. I assume these people you see in Portland right now are what I would call True Believers. They don’t have a cause right now so they are simply being pricks. I doubt it’s being organized from the top down like last summer. They are merely a pain in the ass for Left Establishment as they have to be careful to not be too hard on them or risk losing their loyalty when duty calls. I could see 10 to 20 thousand grass roots true believer types descend on DC. And they don’t really care as long as they are destroying property, history, and lives. Just a thought.
Full cans of beer? Wtf? Must have a good supply train. Hopefully it was Ranier or Ol’ Milwaukee.
Probably Ranier.
PBR
Hey, a good ice cold PBR hits the spot sometimes…
Hell yeah it does. PBR is great.
Probing Action, Enemy Incursion, or Recon by Force?
Perhaps two of one?
Or all three?
Seems like the groups they stood up last summer didn’t get the memo. What’s so great about this courthouse anyway?
OT but what do you guys think about Sat phones?
Entry price can be high
i have thought of it not for clandestine comms as i am sure your loc is pinpoint accurate but for shtf no power or cell service comms it maybe a good idea a lot of seafarers carry religously Bracken may have better experience on that subject.
I have thought of having one strictly for comms in an emergency.
There are some text or voice capable devices hunters use that run off the satallites but less pricey monthly and for the units
