When Antifa is arrested they are told to say/do a few specific things
One of those things is to say "Im a white supremacist"

Why?
- It will not be investigated & immediately believed
- Media run with it
- shifts blame off of Antifa
- Antifa *good* = funding
- repeat next protest

Things Antifa also does when arrested:

- give false names
- make sure they're on the bail-funding list + have the info to get themselves out before anything they say can be confirmed
- go right back out on the streets to do more damage/hurt more people
- Leave state after

This has been what they've done now for years

You might not know it because a lot of the people with the investigative reporting power just don't do the *investigating* bit anymore because people know how to feed them a false story they'll eat up w/ confirmation bias.

Look, Antifa is smart - the organisers that it is, the on-the-ground non-organisers are morons but useful
They're not going to give written info to that is obvious and can be leaked to people. They're going to use verbal communication/rules when they can, public forums otherwise

Primarily low-level communication will look rather innocuous, without too much of an obvious connection to them. Even those 'crisis actor' advertisements are to vague to connec to anything (which is why they're not only Antifa, lots of orgs do use that method)

As an aside to above tweet - stay safe and don't take vague 'to-good-to-be-true' jobs off of Craigslist.

Like. Don't.
Even if the money is tempting, and I know at a certain age the money and fun promised is, it's not worth it unless you are kind of fucked up in the head.

As said, Antifa is just one of the many groups who do this for various thing. Protesting, media-manipulation, etc. There's a lucrative field there in 'activism'. Most of it is innocuous

Antifa is probably, if not THE, most dangerous + destructive, but also best, at what it does

Oh! One last thing. You know those accounts asking for donations for bail for protestors to get out of jail, that people like Seth Rogan donate so generously to just now?

Do you really think they bail out non-Antifa members?
Where does all that excess funding go post-rioting?

I'll answer these for you

- 1) No, only Antifa will get bailed out (predominantly). The more non-Antifa on the streets the less likelihood of destruction and more liklihood of getting caught. Keeping a balance of non-Antifa to Antifa is important so maintain that anon shield.

But Antifa will prioritise getting its people out there every night, and not random protestors rightly or wrongly arrested. The more Antifa back on the streets every night, the more the organisers have to work with, and the more destruction occurs.

2) Bail funding.

A part of the reason they would not bail most non-Antifa out is not simply because of the need to get their own people on the streets, but to conserve a % of funding to push back to the organisers, supplies (bricks/weapons/barricades, etc)

Something like this takes a lot of organised people, with the means to get the rioters 1) places to stay 2) potential transport in and out 3) bail and transport from jail 3) food (yes, Ive seen pizza paid for from the slush funds of this kind of thing) 4) means of destruction

Just take pallets of bricks for example - as we at least have one video of a man confirming he found them being staged.

That one pile of bricks needed to be 1) purchased 2) transported to a location 3) the location must have been pre-determined by a schedule of where the 1/x

rioting will go, with minimal palettes being unutilized 4) placed at a location while no one captures the people doing it on camera 5) manned during the protests to hand out to Antifa/non-Antifa rioters. 6) REMOVED/MOVED if unused, leftover

That's a LOT of organisation + $$ 2/x

Now expand that out to include multiple placements of bricks, plus placements of other items - products to create barricades, bottles, etc. Include the people who front-loaded and organised all this before it started, including potential rioting routes and targets, include 3/x

The organisational and communication element. We've seen multiple photos of earpieces being used.

And please don't be stupid and think 'well only government/police have those! No, they're really easy to get and way less conspicuous than something like radio. 4/x

(Also consider that a hand-held radio is a liability as anyone could overhear it, it's hard to hear during loud violence and damage, and if someone picked up a lost one, then a lot of info could be found out outside of the organisation) 5x.

This all takes money

And where does that money come from? It comes from another set of useful idiots donating to the 'bail bonds' of people they don't even know, who could be doing who-knows-what to get arrested

A big chunk of that money goes into supply + organised direction
