Here is an image from Portland, of the “wall of moms” human shield; one, that is NOT being prominently featured in the major media that are busily trying to paint Federal officers defending a court house after 50 days of rioting as Nazi-style storm troopers:

U/D, Jul 24: It seems, I need to show typical logos of the Antifa, to make a point clear:

Logos of the Antifa

Let me further add, from redspark dot nu, evidently a pro-Antifa site:

Since its original emergence in the early 1920s, fascism as an ideology and a movement has been met with fierce opposition. From the very beginning, communists (along with other leftists) have taken up the cause to not simply resist, but to actively oppose and crush fascism wherever it has cropped up. One such organization, the Roter Frontkämpferbund (“Red Front Fighters’ League”), was formed in 1924 by the German Communist Party as a paramilitary organization to carry out militant antifascist work. In order to continue their militant antifascist work after the Roter Frontkämpferbund was banned, the German Communist Party formed another organization which was the first to bear the name Antifascist Action. Antifaschistische Aktion operated until its demise in 1933 under the violent repression of the Nazi regime, which itself was defeated by the Soviet Red Army in 1945.

A significant resurgence of fascism began in the late 1970s and early 1980s as more white nationalist organizations began to emerge and grow in numbers as capitalism found itself once again in crisis . . . . As this militant, white-supremacist fascism began to grow during the 1980s, so did the resurgence of militant anti-fascism. Groups adopting the name Anti-Fascist Action (AFA) in the UK and Europe and Anti-Racist Action (ARA) in North America started to appear—the first being the AFA in London, England (1985) and ARA in Minneapolis, USA (1988). While these organizations have often included fighting sexism, homophobia, anti-Semitism, and other forms of oppression within their mandate, combating street-level fascism has been their primary focus.

Like the organizations of the 1920s and ‘30s, these AFA and ARA groups (or simply antifa, as they are colloquially known) consisted of communists, anarchists, and other non-aligned leftists brought together for the express purpose of confronting and preventing local fascist organizing . . . .

Fighting fascism is direly important—like fighting police violence, environmental destruction, homelessness, etc. is direly important—but you can’t cure a disease by chasing after the symptoms alone. Defeating street-level fascists does not by itself stop those fascists who are moving amongst the ruling class any more than stopping one pipeline saves a body of water from contamination by other extractive industries. To ultimately solve these problems is to wage a much larger war. As these issues are all symptoms of capitalism, the solution is found in working class organizing in order to take power and thus dictate the society in which we wish to live. We will only do this by connecting anti-fascist, anti-racist, anti-colonial, anti-patriarchal, pro-environment organizing with revolutionary anti-capitalist organizing aimed towards achieving the dictatorship of the proletariat.

We can note several things regarding the photo:

— “Class War” is instantly recognisable, Marxist revolutionary/insurgency terminology. (This identifies that the ideology here is clearly Marxist, here, in Frankfurt School cultural strategy “long march through the institutions” form.)

— The A-with-circle is a logo for the “Antifa,” showing the alliance with BLM, i.e. we see a network of front organisations, with hints of astro-turfing

— Use of human shields with cameras, and particularly of “moms” is meant to force a cruel dilemma: allow riot or appear to be bullying oppressors, with the enabling media watching.

— Similarly, “moms” tries to deconstruct key family and protective values of Western Civilisation, so this is also anti-civilisational. (And if you are trying to undermine family and the cultural norm that protects women and children from violence, that is misanthropic.)

— The media framing indicates their complicity in the Police are fascist thugs defending an illegitimate fascist regime narrative. (We can freely use mirror psychology to infer what these would do were they to hold untrammelled power. Likewise, this directly connects to defund/abolish the police. Add it up: you must be disarmed, the police will protect. The police have no duty to protect any particular individual or property. In the face of favoured rioters, the police are told to stand down. If you try to defend yourselves or deter assault, you will be stripped of weapons (inviting round two), you will be charged with felonies and will face the financial costs involved. And if you try to move away, major media may pursue and further doxx you, inciting the Red Guards to make a follow up visit. Is this where we really want to go? Have you thought about the consequences of rule 6.5 mm and the 1,000 yard veto? )

— Such is the face of C21 4th Generation Revolutionary/Insurgency war operations.

Now, we need to ask some pointed questions regarding what is going on, and why we are being fed manipulative narratives, starting with:

Where we are, not where we wish we were:

Can we read the signs of our times and act before we go completely over the cliff? Time, indubitably, will tell. I think, the next 6 – 18 months will be strategically pivotal. END

PS: Overnight, let me add a framework on the dynamics of the state:

George Floyd cried out for his mother moments before he died. Moms across the country said they would answer the call and be a shield for the protesters. The vast majority of those Moms are there for that reason. So someone found one picture with marxist/anarchist words. What foolishness it is to label an entire organization marxist/anarchist based on one picture. Remember Of Pandas and People? Doesn't matter it was one book. ID theorists are labeled creationists. Doesn't matter how many times the distinction between the two is pointed out. Doesn't matter how many times it is pointed out to be a red herring. Doesn't matter how many books they write about actual science. Doesn't matter it is wrong, people still use the label. It is amazing how well ID proponents are at recognizing this injustice when it is perpetrated against them, yet so blind when they do it to others. Kairosfocus: "They are taking them seriously in context" Nope. According to you they are mounting an insurrection. According to themselves they are Moms protesting violence. Is isn't right to allow a critic to define a movement anymore than it is to allow a critic of ID theory to define ID theory. Does this sound familiar? "...the sort of rhetorical stunt you just tried will be little more than a red herring distraction led away to a strawman caricature poisoned with demonisation and set alight to poison, cloud, polarise and distort the atmosphere." https://uncommondescent.com/intelligent-design/intelligent-design-creationism-as-a-label/ Red guards on the rampage is nameless, faceless red herring. Nothing more than a label to dehumanize these people. They are protesting injustices not mounting an insurrection. We shouldn't polarize and distort the atmosphere.David P

I remember few riots when soccer match wouldn't go as expected back in my younger days in Europe. Police would use water cannons to quickly break a riot front line and create chaos. Then they would run after wet and confused rioters and beat them up. If rioter would dare to regroup police would just spray them again and repeat the rest. It would be nice to see use of water cannons here in N.America more often. Antifa and similar groups wouldn't have much fun blocking highways or burning buildingsEugen

If this truly is an organized Marxist/anarchist orchestrated situation, as KF claims, then the Federal government is playing right into their playbook. By sending in federal “troops”, all they have done is turned more moderates into radicals. Even people who would never think of joining a protest become mobilized when they see fully equipped federal agents firing tear gas and bean-bag munitions into crowds of largely peaceful protesters. The government’s rhetoric of labelling peaceful protesters as “violent anarchists” only makes the situation worse.Mac McTavish

SAZ, you raise a troubling concern, as yes civilisations and systems rise and fall, mostly through cultural suicide. You have linked a significant effort to understand such and I will take a look at it. Samizdat by pdf is part of the counterculture we need to build. KF PS: This is a useful point of beginning:
The story of hieroglyphic decipherment, which the Rosetta stone made possible, is one of immense scholarship and ingenuity. However, there is something else remarkable as well. This is that Egyptian civilisation could have degenerated to the point where it could no longer read its own writing . . . . Today pharaonic Egypt conjures up images of empty tombs, silent statues and museum cases full of chipped and dusty objects. It may seem only natural that it should be no more. Yet for three thousand years this civilisation was a living and enduring reality. Today its demise is familiar and unexceptional. Yet people living in the heyday of the pharaohs would have found it inconceivable that they could end up as a rather backward society, living in a land of ruins. They had acquired a phenomenal head start in the methods and benefits of civilised living. It must have seemed inevitable that their highly developed nation would forever overshadow the obscure peoples of north-western Europe. The fact that there was a massive turnaround demands some attention. Pharaonic civilisation was, after all, the epitome of durability. It spanned the period from the beginning of the third millennium BC to the second century AD.3 At the exodus of the Jews in 1500 BC, 4 a seemingly remote time before even the Ten Commandments had been handed down, the pharaonic state was at the mid-point of its existence . . .

DP, nope. We are taking them seriously in context. These women are being caught up in and used by Red Guards as 4GW foot soldiers, specifically as human shields to protect arsonists and rioters who have been repeatedly attacking a court building. Where riot is happening, continued participation by "peaceful" protesters becomes enabling behaviour and effective endorsement. Where, in context, the US is generally speaking a reasonably functional constitutional republic of significantly democratic character. That means, there are many effective means of protest and reformation within the ambit of law that respect the civil peace of justice. Riot, looting, burning, blocking roads, assaulting, battering, shooting or just intimidating people and similar tactics are completely unjustified. The truth is, resort to Red Guard tactics is a mark of an insurgency designed to create the threat of mob rule dominated chaos, thus a push into oligarchic domination by the lawless backers of the insurgency. What we are seeing is anti civilisational and exploitive of these women and many others as, frankly, expendable cannon fodder. We need to reframe our thinking, reckoning with understanding how unstable democracies are (and have been ever since Athens), how easily they tumble into mob rule thence oligarchic or autocratic domination. Thus, how dependent they are on precisely the cultural buttresses that for over a century now have been undermined. Further, in all of this, the ghosts of over 100 million victims of Marxist regimes moan out a warning on just how dangerous, murderous and ruinous such regimes are. So, to see these Moms espousing it in the name of Antifa tells us worlds, saddening worlds about lessons of history not properly and consistently taught in aftermath of the collapse of the Iron Curtain countries 30 years ago. If you doubt me, notice the apparent age range from the 20's to I guess the early 50's. Not to mention, basic economics not properly taught. A basic principle: those caught up in front groups by and large do not understand the full import of what they are saying, championing and doing. And, in this context, there is no reasonable doubt that Antifa, BLM and other front groups being used in the current Red Guards insurgency are shaped through culture-form marxist ideology, critical theories, Alinski's Community Organisers and the like. The sign shown above demonstrates how this form of Marxism ties in with characteristic marxist themes about class warfare and revolution to create the marxist state. That is a discussion that is needed, and no, the attempted parallel to ID = Creationism fails. Marxists, for well over 100 years, have specialised in using front groups in subversion. However, our guard has been down for 30 years, and not enough attention has been paid to the gradual rise and domination of wide swathes of the academy by Frankfurt School and related culture form marxists and their critical theories mixed in with deconstructionism. Now, the consequences of that long march through institutions of influence are rioting in the streets. As for deconstruction as part of the tactics, ask yourself, why women (and "mom" here is a very careful word choice for agit prop purposes), why choosing a distinctive uniform, why use as human shields. The answers come back in rapid order: the civilisational norm to protect women and children is being exploited to create human shields for the otherwise indefensible. That is not only a cynical tactic forcing a cruel choice in the face of riot but it automatically undermines family principles. Yes, there is need for reforms, most importantly to restore the undermined buttresses of freedom with stability. Yes, there remain issues over racism etc, which need to be soundly addressed. Yes, an always imperfect society made up of equally imperfect human beings always needs to be alert to legitimate concerns raised by even the most angry and alienated. But no, Red Guards on the rampage in an insurgency setting the stage for what has already bloodily failed globally at horrific cost are not the answer. KFkairosfocus

Does this sound familiar? Some people don't want to seriously consider the merits of ID theory. They take a shortcut and say ID theory = creationism. Creationism isn't science and has no merit, therefore neither does ID theory. Some people don't want to take these Moms seriously. They take a shortcut and say these Moms = marxism. Marxism is bad, therefore so are these Moms. ID theorists of all people should know how unpersuasive it is to slap a label on something in lieu of meeting something on its own terms and leveling criticism. How frustrating is it when antagonists, like Wiki, define ID theory on their terms, not those of ID theorists? Then level criticism against a straw man? A network of "front organisations"? In this case, aren't you the antagonist defining their positions on your terms? Why is it wrong when someone doesn't take ID theory at face value but right for you to read a network of front organisations into a bunch of Moms marching? Would you even stop calling those Moms (or the other organizations) marxists if they said they are not marxists? If you understand how frustrating it is to be labeled creationists in spite of any objections, maybe you can stop labeling those Moms marxists. "Similarly, “moms” tries to deconstruct key family and protective values". Those quotes don't make the caricature of those marching Moms any less obvious. Moms deconstructing family values? Ridiculous.David P

"Can we read the signs of our times and act before we go completely over the cliff?" Every culture eventually collapses, all in the same general manner and for the same general reasons.

F/N: I think for record I should clip a comment in another thread that gives context: _________________ as you know, I have objected to and corrected demeaning language, which does no good. However, you have tried to make an inappropriate, invidious association, which I will pause to correct. Agit prop is in fact a well known feature of modern ideological contest; the term is originally Russian, introduced by the bolsheviks. In particular, agit prop is a known component of 4th generation wars, including insurgencies and civil wars. Recent examples include the Arab Spring, much of the course of events in the Ukraine, and more. For cause, I have held that the US is in bleeding Kansas stage 4G civil war, with the kinetic element ramping up. To analyse that is not to insult. As to the notion that there are actual 4GW agit prop OPERATORS — field level leadership involved in operational planning and implementation in the military sense!!! — intervening on any regular basis at UD, that is laughable. Though, I don’t doubt that operators are behind a fair part of the penumbra of attack sites and are heavily involved in activist groups such as NCSE, ACLU, SPLC, X Citizens for “Science” groups and the like. Some of the more trollish regular/recurrent hecklers here and in the penumbra may have some training and be involved in front groups, but full bore operators they are not. The Marxists have a term for those caught up in front groups and their ideological schemes, I will refrain from using it. I simply note that the contempt in Lenin’s language was telling. As for real 4GW strategists and backers, those are usually several degrees removed from activism. They will have operators, part of whose job is to take the fall, should anything break. What we do regularly see and deconstruct, are the programs of talking points used to front and make the underlying ideologies and cultural/policy agendas seem plausible. Just now ET (warts and all) has just taken apart a key argument in a line or two. We notice, you have no substantial answer. To get to the point of answering in a paragraph or a tweet length comment, heavy duty exchanges had to be hammered out, as has again surfaced over the Mathematics of infinity. Likewise, we see the playing out of the same patterns over the pandemic, the irresponsible dismissal of HCQ-based cocktails and the rise of a Red Guards insurgency are being hammered out. For example in the OP here https://uncommondescent.com/control-and-anarchy/a-riot-human-shield-the-face-of-c21-4gw-culture-form-marxist-insurgency/ , we can see several overlapping patterns showing visually the links between culture form marxism, so-called critical theories and the current Red Guard and front group insurgencies playing out in the geostrategic centre of our civilisation. We need to realise that Marxism is back and has been on a significantly successful long march through the institutions. This has significantly undermined buttresses of constitutional democratic government. There is a surge, given an unexpected setback in 2016. The intent is to bring us under a Marxist oligarchy of the ideological elites. I believe it will ultimately fail, but we are in for an even wilder onward ride over the next 6 – 18 months. The US, likely, will never fully recover from the damage that has been done and is being done. But, we can weather the storm and return to a saner framework. It is going to be needlessly painful, dangerous, likely fairly bloody and unaffordably costly. War, even 4GW, is like that, and this is a civilisational civil war with the USA as the main theatre of operations at this time. Remember 4GW is so subtle that one often does not realise that the chaos is that of essentially military operations. So, I suggest a careful reconsideration of the hellish matches that are being played with. KFkairosfocus

TR, under US law, federal law enforcement has a perfect right to defend federal property with or without permission of the local authorities. They may also be deployed under other circumstances, such as IIRC happened with forced desegration. The target in question is a federal court house. That rioters . . . this is well beyond legitimate protest . . . should target courts in a reasonably functional constitutional republic of significantly democratic character is itself a sign of what is going on. Notice, too, the telling sign being put up by the human shields, a mark of marxist 4gw insurgency where optics is a telling media weapon. KFkairosfocus

I'm not from the US, but I'm amazed there isn't more outrage about the federal agents going to Portland against the wishes of the state. Isn't that part of the ethos of the US, that the federal government should not interfere in the affairs of states? Particularly with armed representatives.TimR

For every thousand people who "protested" in these riots, or came out in favour of BLM, or any of the other causes celebres, there were a million who did not, who stayed at home wishing Antifa and the BLM organization would just go away. These latter people are glad there are police at work keeping them safe, and they go about their productive daily lives, largely unaffected by the rioting and the latest woke trends and expanding demands. The mystery is why the media, governments, schools, corporations, courts, and other civil agencies pander to those shifting demands and bend over backwards with their irrational virtue signalling. Is this what they used to call mass hysteria or even mass hypnosis? Perhaps the net result of a continuous barrage of random news and chaotic info is the loss of critical thinking skills?Fasteddious
