Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D) was repeatedly criticized for overstepping her Constitutional authority in her response to the Coronavirus pandemic. A third of Michigan COVID-19 deaths were in nursing homes where her policies allowed the possibly infected access to residents. She was publicly (and peacefully) protested and it made national news. A Change.org petition, hardly a tool of conservatives for instituting social media pressure, was created to initiate a recall against her. It garnered “thousands” of signatures. The recall effort was approved by the Michigan Board Of Canvassers. Her husband was busted trying to get a head-of-line privilege and Gretchen Whitmer blew it off as a “joke”. The Michigan Supreme Court recently ruled her COVID-19 emergency actions were unconstitutional.

Her political career was clearly falling to pieces all around her despite her support in “polls”.

Now, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer was a potential kidnap target…?

Unless you’re a hardcore liberal Democrat, this is a hard one to swallow but the drama queen was on full display. At the press conference, Whitmer mentioned the “federal charges against thirteen members of two militia groups who were preparing to kidnap and possibly kill me.”

The FBI monitored all aspects of the conspiracy to kidnap Whitmer. The group’s efforts to procure gear and weapons were conducted with law enforcement’s active involvement. There was never any chance that the conspirators could pull off their crime, and Whitmer was in no real danger.

According to those investigating, the “militia” (dog whistle for “right wing”) had a tad amount of animus against law enforcement….

The militia group had already been brought to the attention of the FBI by a local police department in March 2020, when members of the militia group were attempting to obtain the addresses of local law-enforcement officers. At the time, the FBI interviewed a member of the militia group who was concerned about the group’s plans to target and kill police officers, and that person agreed to become a CHS (confidential human source).

Hardly a position of conservatives. Brandon Caserta, one of the kidnap plot “ringleaders” is NOT a supporter of President Trump, has created videos of himself with anarchist flag in the background, and if anything, appears more in line with left wing Antifa and Black Lives Matter than anyone else.

One of alleged plotters, 23-year-old Daniel Harris, attended a Black Lives Matter protest in June, telling the Oakland County Times he was upset about the killing of George Floyd and police violence. Parker Douglas, a lawyer for Harris, said his client was a former Marine who lived at home with his parents and did construction work.

Remember the New Zealand shooter who we were all told was a “white supremacist” Trump supporter while the media suppressed his “manifesto” where he clearly wrote he was not? Media lies have become an expected norm.

It wouldn’t be hard for sympathetic DOJ agents to infiltrate and set some of these morons up in a plot to make the governor out to be a political victim because the pandemic will end, Whitmer will have to eventually face the voters, and her path to reelection will be highly problematic.

We all know that some politicians will create a controversy to divert attention away from their personal scandals, especially when a friendly media has their back. It’s not to find patsies. Seriously, how hard would it be for an embedded agent to find potentially violent #BLM or Antifa members and walk them from stated intent through prosecution, especially if those agents were tipped of by a government official?

It was like the president shot their mama.

Years from now, episodes like these should be in a Republican training manual on how to get back in the face of a media, still angry at a president whose election they did not endorse, a public that didn’t collectively listen to them and elected someone despite their best efforts.

The media has used terms like “mostly peaceful” to deflect any connection to rioters and the ideological infrastructure that has indoctrinated and unleashed mobs into the streets who have to be told what to chant when they march, before some almost always splinter off and commit illegal acts.

Here’s a montage created seven years ago on the “mostly peaceful” in comparison to what the left and media would consider an out-of-control, evil, right wing Tea Party horde….

The left has much blood on their hands and just because the media doesn’t report it, doesn’t mean it never happened. Progressive activists, amplified by an eager and willing media, stoked racial tension in poor neighborhoods to the point where police officers were being assassinated on an almost daily basis last year. The media has yet to assume any culpability for the damage and death caused because it didn’t happen where they live.

They’re just so outraged that FINALLY someone, President Donald Trump, has had the nerve to call out liberal violence; the liberal violence the media’s tried to hide for many years.

They are the “antifa”….

Short for (militant) anti-fascists.

Middle-class champagne socialist/communist/anarchist white boys who don’t like nationalists or fascists. They consider themselves to be rebelling against the establishment, whilst upholding all of its ultra-politically correct views.

Most are teenagers and university students who grow out of the fad when they start paying taxes.

So true, but don’t leave out all their other genders, and according to their Facebook page, they’re located overlooking the scenic Boston Common on 38 Beacon Street.

Not exactly the cheapest of mom’s basements.

During last weekend’s resistance to the many pro-Trump rallies held around the nation, where many of them were visually reduced to a bunch of fleeing pussies, the Boston chapter of antifa responded introducing a new approach. Aside from the intro and ending insert, the following video is the actual, serious presentation where “Quinn discusses a problematic issue within the Antifa Movement”….

It’s quite a shame that Bob’s hometown (known for heroics starting with the Boston Tea Party, later the Celtics and Patriots dynasties, the bloody Red sock and “Boston Strong”) has now been temporarily hijacked by the Boston Antifa.

And as for Dustin27, Thanksgiving and Christmas at home with the folks will never be the same.

Unfortunately, we had to education them as to the Fair Use Clause in the Copyright Act of 1976 which allows for the rebroadcast of “copyrighted” materials for the purpose of education, criticism and commentary. Our video was not a straight rip (mirror) but was used as an accessory to our commentary just in case it was later removed, which happens quite frequently when the public response is not so positive.

UPDATE

It turns out Quinn and Dustin27 could be trolls.

Eugene, OR Alt-Right Trolls Behind ‘Boston Antifa’ Exposed

Last month we published an article on It’s Going Down explaining the situation that Boston, MA area antifascists are dealing with after their Facebook page was deleted and subsequently hijacked by some unknown trolls. For the past month and a half, “Dustin” and “Quinn” have been posing as “Boston Antifa” on Facebook and youtube (and now twitter), creating videos and making posts that would make any real antifascist cringe. These posts have also made the alt-right meme community cringe as well, having been duped into believing these clowns were representative of our movement and turning it into a laughing stock.

With these people, anything is possible.
