Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WARNING: Antifa will always be after you and your family if you are an “American.” Antifa represents organized and continuous intimidation and violence. Rather than social justice protesters with noble causes, Antifa are trained, armed, and organized terrorists for hire. Their victims include whoever is against their credence of total anarchy. Antifa arose from para-military factions and has been likened to a militia. They have aligned with, and take money from, the forces behind the American far Left. Marxist Antifa-progenitors first arose in the Bolshevik Revolution starting in 1917 as paramilitary and found themselves instrumental in finally bringing down the Russian government in 1923. Antifa groups then migrated to a politically embroiled Germany as the Russians began exporting Marxism to China in 1921 to penetrate the Nationalist Party. Mao Zedung joined up soon thereafter and would catch Stalin’s eye and support to become Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party and the world’s most deadly totalitarian ruler. The Bolshevik goal was to establish communist dictatorships through violence. They wanted to do to Germany and China what they had done to Russia, help overthrow the government through Marxist violent revolution. The largest Antifa organization was officially named in 1932 as an affiliate of the Communist Party of Germany and also had paramilitary roots. Antifa was under the leadership of the committed Stalinist and leader of the Communist Party of Germany, Ernst Thälmann. The terrorist group was so ruthless and violent that they drove many Germans to vote for Hitler's National Socialist German Workers' Party, the Nazi Party. Of course, the Nazis would become Antifa’s sworn enemy and downfall. Thalmann’s fate was alleged to be shot in a Nazi concentration camp after a long prison term. Antifa members today are also Satanists, like the Dayton Shooter, and/or members of the Democrat Socialists of America, which are some 50,000 strong. The Dayton shooter's vest bears "Against All Gods" and occult patches. The Dayton shooter’s notebook shows the devil's pentagram and "Lucifer" references. Modern Antifa groups in the United States and Europe have been documented to receive funding and support from Leftist radicals such as George Soros’ Open Society groups. Antifa’s behavior has been likened to the intimidating goon squads of Hitler’s Brown Shirts or Mussolini’s Black Shirts. Recently they tried to shut down any free speech or protests by conservatives in the United States and Europe. Another Antifa epicenter, much like Portland, Oregon, is East Germany. Antifa participated in the Occupy Wall Street movement in America. Antifa, if anything, are Communists but who don’t want organized government at all. Communism was invented by rich bankers and industrialists of England, France, and the United States to topple governments and replace them with a totalitarian rule. The Rothschilds banking magnate family funded two Communist authors to create Communism out of concepts of Satanism, Adam Weishaupt of the Illuminati around 1776, and Karl Marx in the mid 19th century. This book not only explores the history of Antifa and its ideology and its main actions but also explores in depth the origin and nature of Marxism as arising from a foundation of Satanism directed against the Christian Church. Evidence that Karl Marx lived as a Satanist bubbles up to stun the reader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communism is the history lesson to be garnered from the 20th century. First burned into the history books from Germany, France, and key American capitalists, it cast its dark shadows over the Soviet Empire and Asia to engulf about a third of the world’s population. During a White House meeting regarding ISIS, after calling Nancy Pelosi a "third rate politician," President Donald Trump stated that the Kurds were Communists, and all the Democrats must be incredibly pleased about that. Trump labeling the entire Democrat Party as Communists was not carried by the mainstream media. The White House stated that, over the last 100 years, totalitarian Communist regimes around the world have murdered more than 100 million and exposed countless more to violence, exploitation, and devastation. Using the pretense of liberation, Communist rulers robbed populations of their rights of free worship, freedom of association, and other rights we in the United States deem sacrosanct. Citizens, promised freedom, instead found themselves subjugated through fear, violence, and torture. Obama talked about growing the “Movement" in college. It was all about, for Obama, collectivism, and wealth redistribution, which would net him and his wife $100 million over 10 years. The classic institutional gangsterism, rob from the poor and the middle class and give it to the rich Communist leaders, has been a theme of Communism for every major Communist movement and country in the world. Communists now lead the Democrat Party, if not the Deep State.. Let's take a close look at its history and methods and why you and your family will always be under attack as Americans. Let’s see who falls on the “Blacklist.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In June of 2020, more people searched the internet for "Black Lives Matter" than for "Trump." The tragic death of ex-convict George Floyd on May 25, 2020, at the hands of four policemen immediately triggered 2,000 protests not only in cities across the United States but also in 60 other countries. It was almost as if the Floyd death had been planned. Was Derek Chauvin, the White policeman who put his knee on Floyd's neck for over eight minutes, a hitman? What about his new $100,000 BMW and hundreds of thousands in undisclosed income? Was it the unfortunate death of a convicted felon and heavy drug-user, or was a professionally organized anti-Trump network just waiting to launch a street revolution to further disrupt the economy and elections? A White policeman had placed his knee on Black Mr. Floyd's neck for about eight minutes, despite his utterances of "I can't breathe" which were audible to multiple people passing by with cell-phone cameras. This seemed a bit strange for a policeman's behavior in the year 2020 given Eric Garner's "I can't breathe" was one of the major rallying cries of black activists for police racism and brutality. Although there were 13 or fewer unarmed deaths of black men at the hands of white policemen in 2019, roars of "systemic police racism" and "institutional racism" shook the world and equally raucous looting riots plundered many businesses and caused hundreds of millions in damages and losses. Nearly the entire United States white population had been labeled "racist" once again by the Left, just in time to affect the June primaries and November elections. Black Lives Matter (BLM) and Antifa led a charge to capture six blocks of downtown Seattle to create an "Autonomous Zone" with border walls and security-- and fully dependent on outside for food, sanitation, and law enforcement. They made standard DSA demands: free this and free that for everybody, but especially free stuff that would help black and brown people. Dismantle the police departments was another demand, even ban them forever. These types of demands matched up with the Black Panther and Black Liberation Army demands from decades ago and hinted at the true origins of BLM. Hawk Newsome, a leader of BLM, made the statement that if they didn't get what they wanted, BLM would burn down the system, another pattern of congruence that was being established with the Black Panthers. This book reveals the dark truth about BLM, a feminist group, whose idol and role model is Assata Shakur a female felon, a convicted cop-killer, ex-Black Panther, and forty-year fugitive. It reveals how BLM was formed, the founders being recruited as mere puppets for larger, experienced anti-American and black activist power groups. This book not only explores the history of Antifa and its ideology and its main actions but also explores in depth the origin and nature of Marxism as arising from a foundation of Satanism directed against the Christian Church. Evidence that Karl Marx was a Satanist is presented. Black Lives Matter and Antifa showed us how they can work together in Seattle's Autonomous Zone. They both are incarnations of communist goon squads for the Deep State. They are hired domestic terrorists. The goal is not only to oust nationalist, anti-globalist Trump but to take over the entire US government and its people.

Book excerpt: In this #1 national bestseller, a journalist who's been attacked by Antifa writes a deeply researched and reported account of the group's history and tactics. When Andy Ngo was attacked in the streets by Antifa in the summer of 2019, most people assumed it was an isolated incident. But those who'd been following Ngo's reporting in outlets like the New York Post and Quillette knew that the attack was only the latest in a long line of crimes perpetrated by Antifa. In Unmasked, Andy Ngo tells the story of this violent extremist movement from the very beginning. He includes interviews with former followers of the group, people who've been attacked by them, and incorporates stories from his own life. This book contains a trove of documents obtained by the author, published for the first time ever.

Like Thomas Paine before him, Alinsky was able to combine, both in his person and his writing, the intensity of political engagement with an absolute insistence on rational political discourse and adherence to the American democratic tradition.

Book excerpt: Since the election of President Trump and the rise in racist and white supremacist activity, the militant antifascist movement known as antifa has become increasingly active and high profile in the United States. This book analyzes the tactics, culture, and practices of the movement through a combination of social movement studies and critical criminological perspectives. Based on extensive fieldwork and interviews with activists, this book is the first scholarly sociological analysis of contemporary antifascist activism in the United States. Drawing on social movement studies, subculture studies and critical criminology, it explains antifa's membership, their ideology, strategy, tactics and use of culture as a weapon against the far right. It provides the most detailed account of this movement and also cuts through much of the mythology and common misunderstandings about it. This book will be of interest to scholars and students in sociology, political science, anthropology, criminology, and history; however, a general audience would also be interested in the explanation of what drives antifa tactics and strategy in light of the high-profile conflicts between fascists and antifascists.

Book excerpt: A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK • From renowned organizers and activists Leah Hunt-Hendrix and Astra Taylor, comes the first in-depth examination of Solidarity—not just as a rallying cry, but as potent political movement with potential to effect lasting change. “A window into what is possible when we reject the politics of division, trade individualism for interconnectedness and prioritize coming together for the greater good.”—Heather McGhee, author of The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone Solidarity is often invoked, but it is rarely analyzed and poorly understood. Here, two leading activists and thinkers survey the past, present, and future of the concept across borders of nation, identity, and class to ask: how can we build solidarity in an era of staggering inequality, polarization, violence, and ecological catastrophe? Offering a lively and lucid history of the idea—from Ancient Rome through the first European and American socialists and labor organizers, to twenty-first century social movements like Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter—Hunt-Hendrix and Taylor trace the philosophical debates and political struggles that have shaped the modern world. Looking forward, they argue that a clear understanding of how solidarity is built and sustained, and an awareness of how it has been suppressed, is essential to warding off the many crises of our present: right-wing backlash, irreversible climate damage, widespread alienation, loneliness, and despair. Hunt-Hendrix and Taylor insist that solidarity is both a principle and a practice, one that must be cultivated and institutionalized, so that care for the common good becomes the central aim of politics and social life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book initiates a critical discussion on the varieties of global anti-fascism and explores the cultural, political and practical articulations of anti-fascism around the world. This volume brings together a group of leading scholars on the history of anti-fascism to provide a comprehensive analysis of anti-fascism from a transnational and global perspective and to reveal the abundance and complexity of anti-fascist ideas, movements and practices. Through a number of interlinked case studies, they examine how different forms of global anti-fascisms were embedded in various national and local contexts during the interwar period and investigate the interrelations between local articulations and the global movement. Contributions also explore the actions and impact of African, Asian, Latin American, Caribbean, and Middle Eastern anti-fascist voices that have often been ignored or rendered peripheral in international histories of anti-fascism. Aimed at a postgraduate student audience, this book will be useful for modules on the extreme right, political history, political thought, political ideologies, political parties, social movements, political regimes, global politics, world history and sociology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in an age of ideology, propaganda, and tribalism. Political conformity is enforced from many sides; the insidious social control that John Stuart Mill called “the tyranny of the prevailing opinion and feeling.” Liberal or left-minded people are often more afraid of each other than of their conservative or right wing opponents. Social media and call-out-culture makes it easier to name, shame, ostracize and harass non-conformists, and destroys careers and lives. How can we oppose this, regaining freedom and our sense of ourselves as individuals? The Tyranny of Opinion identifies the problem, defines its character, and proposes strategies of resistance. Russell Blackford calls for an end to ideological purity policing and for recommitment to the foundational liberal values of individual liberty and spontaneity, free inquiry, diverse opinion, and honest debate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. Explores whether sufficient data exists to examine the temporal and spatial relationships that existed in terrorist group planning, and if so, could patterns of preparatory conduct be identified? About one-half of the terrorists resided, planned, and prepared for terrorism relatively close to their eventual target. The terrorist groups existed for 1,205 days from the first planning meeting to the date of the actual/planned terrorist incident. The planning process for specific acts began 2-3 months prior to the terrorist incident. This study examined selected terrorist groups/incidents in the U.S. from 1980-2002. It provides for the potential to identify patterns of conduct that might lead to intervention prior to the commission of the actual terrorist incidents. Illustrations.

Book excerpt: Fascism is not a thing of the past and, in this era of crisis and austerity, it is growing even stronger. The fight against it must be aggressive and unrelenting. Using a mixture of orthodox history and eyewitness accounts, "M. Testa" makes the case for a resolutely militant anti-fascism, taking us from proto-fascists in nineteenth-century Austria to modern-day street-fights in London. Provocative, unapologetic, and based on extensive research. M. Testa, undercover anti-fascist blogger, has analyzed the changing fortunes of the British far right since 2009. He has written for the anarchist magazine Freedom and is a member of the Anti-Fascist Network.

Book excerpt: Liberal civilisation is in crisis - now is a time of monsters. The rise of the new far right has left the world grappling with a profound misunderstanding. While the spotlight often shines on the actions of charismatic leaders such as Donald Trump and Jair Bolsonaro, the true peril lies elsewhere. Defeating these people will not stem the tide driving them forward. They are merely the embodiment of profound forces that are rarely understood. Propelled through the vast networks of social media and fueled by far-right influencers, enthralled by images of disaster and fantasies of doom, they have emerged from a reservoir of societal despair, fear, and isolation. Within this seething cauldron, we witness not only the surge of far-right political movements but also the sparks of individual and collective violence against perceived enemies, from ‘lone wolf’ killers to terrifying pogroms. Should a new fascism emerge, it will coalesce from these very elements. This is disaster nationalism. Richard Seymour delves deep into this alarming development in world politics, dissecting its roots, its influencers, and the threats it poses. With meticulous analysis and compelling storytelling, Seymour offers a stark warning. The battle against disaster nationalism is not just political; it is a struggle for our collective soul and the future of civilization itself. Unless we understand the deeper forces propelling the far-right resurgence, we have little chance of stopping it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Red Dynamite, Carl R. Weinberg argues that creationism's tenacious hold on American public life depended on culture-war politics inextricably embedded in religion. Many Christian conservatives were convinced that evolutionary thought promoted immoral and even bestial social, sexual, and political behavior. The "fruits" of subscribing to Darwinism were, in their minds, a dangerous rearrangement of God-given standards and the unsettling of traditional hierarchies of power. Despite claiming to focus exclusively on science and religion, creationists were practicing politics. Their anticommunist campaign, often infused with conspiracy theory, gained power from the fact that the Marxist founders, the early Bolshevik leaders, and their American allies were staunch evolutionists. Using the Scopes "Monkey" Trial as a starting point, Red Dynamite traces the politically explosive union of Darwinism and communism over the next century. Across those years, social evolution was the primary target of creationists, and their "ideas have consequences" strategy instilled fear that shaped the contours of America's culture wars. By taking the anticommunist arguments of creationists seriously, Weinberg reveals a neglected dimension of antievolutionism and illuminates a source of the creationist movement's continuing strength. Thanks to generous funding from Indiana University and its participation in TOME (Toward an Open Monograph Ecosystem), the ebook editions of this book are available as Open Access volumes from Cornell Open (cornellpress.cornell.edu/cornell-open) and other repositories.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative exploration of the tension between our evolutionary history and our modern woes—and what we can do about it. We are living through the most prosperous age in all of human history, yet we are listless, divided, and miserable. Wealth and comfort are unparalleled, but our political landscape is unmoored, and rates of suicide, loneliness, and chronic illness continue to skyrocket. How do we explain the gap between these truths? And how should we respond? For evolutionary biologists Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein, the cause of our troubles is clear: the accelerating rate of change in the modern world has outstripped the capacity of our brains and bodies to adapt. We evolved to live in clans, but today many people don’t even know their neighbors’ names. In our haste to discard outdated gender roles, we increasingly deny the flesh-and-blood realities of sex—and its ancient roots. The cognitive dissonance spawned by trying to live in a society we are not built for is killing us. In this book, Heying and Weinstein draw on decades of their work teaching in college classrooms and exploring Earth’s most biodiverse ecosystems to confront today’s pressing social ills—from widespread sleep deprivation and dangerous diets to damaging parenting styles and backward education practices. Asking the questions many modern people are afraid to ask, A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century outlines a science-based worldview that will empower you to live a better, wiser life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " How a more positive form of identity politics can restore public trust in government Illiberalism, Thomas Main writes, is the basic repudiation of liberal democracy, the very foundation on which the United States rests. It says no to electoral democracy, human rights, the rule of law, toleration. It is a political ideology that finds expression in such older right-wing extremist groups as the Ku Klux Klan and white supremacists and more recently among the Alt-Right and the Dark Enlightenment. There are also left-of-center illiberal movements, including various forms of communism, anarchism, and some antifascist movements. The Rise of Illiberalism explores the philosophical underpinnings of this toxic political ideology and documents how it has infiltrated the mainstream of political discourse in the United States. By the early twenty-first century, Main writes, liberal democracy’s failure to deal adequately with social problems created a space illiberal movements could exploit to promote their particular brands of identity politics as an alternative. A critical need thus is for what the author calls “positive identity politics,” or a widely shared sense of community that gives a feeling of equal importance to all sectors of society. Achieving this goal will, however, be an enormous challenge. In seeking actionable remedies for the broken political system of the United States, this book makes a major scholarly contribution to current debates about the future of liberal democracy. "

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A searing historical account of a tragic episode of the Stalinist terror During the spring of 1933, Stalin’s police rounded up nearly one hundred thousand people as part of the Soviet regime’s “cleansing” of Moscow and Leningrad and deported them to Siberia. Many of the victims were sent to labor camps, but ten thousand of them were dumped in a remote wasteland and left to fend for themselves. Cannibal Island reveals the shocking, grisly truth about their fate. These people were abandoned on the island of Nazino without food or shelter. Left there to starve and to die, they eventually began to eat each other. Nicolas Werth, a French historian of the Soviet era, reconstructs their gruesome final days using rare archival material from deep inside the Stalinist vaults. Werth skillfully weaves this episode into a broader story about the Soviet frenzy in the 1930s to purge society of all those deemed to be unfit. For Stalin, these undesirables included criminals, opponents of forced collectivization, vagabonds, gypsies, even entire groups in Soviet society such as the “kulaks” and their families. Werth sets his story within the broader social and political context of the period, giving us for the first time a full picture of how Stalin’s system of “special villages” worked, how hundreds of thousands of Soviet citizens were moved about the country in wholesale mass transportations, and how this savage bureaucratic machinery functioned on the local, regional, and state levels. Cannibal Island challenges us to confront unpleasant facts not only about Stalin’s punitive social controls and his failed Soviet utopia but about every generation’s capacity for brutality—including our own.
