They tried to kill President Trump at least twice. He got shot once and came back fighting. His enemies charged him, arrested him, tried him on flimsy, bogus charges, and he kept coming. States attempted to remove him from their ballots to prevent him from winning the nomination, but he continued to fight.
Trump gave up the comfort of wealth-earned, and peace and quiet for a 24/7/365 street fight (at home and away from home) because he believes in something. And despite the lies and slings and arrows and the rest, he stands in the ring between them and you. Like him or not, you have to respect that.
Not moments after Mr. Trump declared antifa a domestic terrorist organization, on its way to being defined as an international one because of how it’s funded, the founder of “Rose City Antifa,” one of the most notorious and violent, fled the country. Johan Victorin is currently hiding in Sweden.
Johan Victorin, founder of “Rose City Antifa,” a group based in Portland, Oregon, a city that has had frequent Antifa activity during protests, was seen on Oct. 6 in the city of Vaberg, Sweden, according to an X post and video by Swedish investigative journalist Christian Peterson. According to Project Veritas, which did an undercover exposé of Rose City in 2020, Victorin is a dual citizen of Sweden and the United State
Mark Bray, the author of the Antifa bible, “Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook,” attempted to flee to Spain. Bray was a professor at Dartmouth College in 2017 [at the gender research institute], when we first reported on his antics. [Dartmouth Professor Advocates Preemptive Violence by Left-Wing Thugs.]
Bray tried to flee “for his family’s safety,” he claims, and appears to have finally managed it, after a brief delay.
On Oct. 8, he wrote on Bluesky: “‘Someone’ cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second. We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.”
A little over 24 hours later, Bray posted: “Our plane is in the air! Thank you so much to the countless people supporting us in every way.”
Antifa doesn’t exist, and it isn’t an organization to which one can belong (according to the assholes who belong to it), despite evidence of planning, coordination, matching outfits, training, and the execution of street actions that are often violent. But even if they are flash mobs, there is evidence of a leadership structure and organization.
And if they don’t exist, where do half the proceeds from the sale of Mark Bary’s book go, and who has access to them? How are they distributed and to what end?
And how is this different from jihadi terror cells? There is no difference, except that with a few exceptions, the jihadis are military-aged men. They both want to sow chaos to achieve an end. The jihadis are working to secure the global ummah—forced conversion to Islam, slavery, or death. Antifa has been, for nearly a century, the militant Marxist street fighters, advancing communism by claiming everyone to their right is fascist.
But at the first sign of real trouble, of the retreat of their progressive political protection, Victorin and Bray ran away.
The Trump Administration is going to chase down their funding, freeze it, and prosecute anyone they can identify as complicit. That’s going to put a kink in their financial support while Federal assets on the ground watch the black bloc rats scurry back to their holes.
Not all of them, of course. And then there are our local “antifa,” like Jamie Bradley and James McLeod. Bradley went into hiding while McLeod continues to spout stupidity on social media. The former is the Executive Director of the Repertory Theater in Portsmouth. The Latter is a Town Moderator in Raymond, NH.
Outside the self-declared affiliation, absent any actual violence, they are more curiosities than anything else. And as for Victorin and Bray, monitoring the skies for drones is unlikely to be necessary. Unlike Obama (who droned record numbers of “adversaries), and Boomstick Joe Biden, who said you can’t compete with F-15s, if Trump wants you, he’ll have to do it with evidence and warrants and perhaps threats of tariff hikes, but I suspect he’s content with addressing those on American soil and the funding streams and sources.
So, Mark Bray might want to stop donating half his book proceeds to “International Anti-Fascist Defence Fund, which is administered by more than three hundred antifa from eighteen countries.”
Or not.
