Hi everyone,
The Post Millennial and Human Events were well represented in the White House yesterday when President Trump hosted a round table on the scourge of Antifa in the United States. Jack Posobiec told the president about the history of Antifa, going back almost 100 years in the Weimar Republic of Germany. During the round table, he urged the President to declare Antifa a foreign terror organization, and Trump said he would do so.
Even after that roundtable and the first-hand accounts from journalists and reporters, CNN's Erin Burnett went on air and basically claimed Antifa doesn't exist and right-wing violence is worse. Even the study she cited doesn't back up that claim.
Katie Daviscourt revealed that the residents on the ground in Portland want the violence and nightly protests to end, even if that means bringing in the National Guard to do it. Andy Ngo talked about his own run-ins with the violent group and the persistent death threats he's fielded ever since.
During the round table, journalists who have been reporting from the frontlines for years spoke out about what they've seen on the ground, the lack of mainstream media attention to it, and the smears and insults that have come their way just for being out there doing their jobs.
Those smears and insults, Savanah Hernandez told the President, are a big part of the reason that Antifa and leftist militant activists keep getting away with their vile activities. "The same media that is sitting in the room with us," she said, referring to the press pool of reporters at the end of the table, "has declared all of us sitting at this table Nazis and fascists. And they've been doing this for years. This is why Antifa feels emboldened to attack us."
That media, the columnists, the creatives, the writers, the producers, and all the rest, get messaging that this is how they should treat Trump supporters. Just this week, Kamala Harris delivered remarks at an invite-only event called the "Day of Unreasonable Conversation."
That gathering, paid for with taxpayer money funneled through a fiscal sponsor, is "designed to equip creators of culture – television writers, artists, producers, executives, and digital storytellers – for the year ahead." The creators say that "The event brings together the most influential voices in entertainment with leading changemakers from across sectors to engage in honest, critical discourse on the most urgent issues of our time."
None of this Antifa violence or leftist ideology is organic. It is all manufactured, disseminated, paid for, and delivered to the unwitting American public on silver screens, little glass screens, TVs, magazines, books, and think pieces. It is not grassroots, it is not what the majority believes, instead it is spoon-fed to us so gently that we don't even notice that's what they're doing.
