Antifa: uniforms, secrets tactics and protocols

If you go to a website called Crimethinc—with “THINC” at the end—Crimethinc. It’s like a repository of anarchist tactics, and there they share their TTPs: their tactics, techniques, and procedures, and they share the knowledge they gain from all over the world during these riots.

So, you know, people in your audience may have seen folks dressed entirely in black in the streets of Paris, for example, burning things and looting, right? You saw it also during the Hong Kong protests. And in fact, when you read what they have on Crimethinc, they describe exactly why you need to dress completely in black.

It’s a uniform, right? And that’s because they know that when the police or someone asks what the person who attacked you looked like—the person who stabbed you, the person who threw, for example, an ice cream carton filled with concrete at you, right? Because it just looks like a carton of ice cream. They’ll say, well, everyone was dressed in black, right? Black hoodie, black pants, and so on.

And if you go to Crimethinc, you’ll see that in all these different languages they tell you exactly what to do with that uniform. Which is, you know, like a safety measure for them. It hides their identity, but they also tell you to remove all identifying marks.

No tattoos should be visible. If you have any distinctive facial hair, they tell you to get rid of it. They tell you exactly what to do if the police stop you. They tell you never to say you’re part of Antifa. For example, remember when there was that big story where Bill Barr said there were people inciting the protests and then the Associated Press did an article? It made me laugh. They checked all the arrest records and said, look, nobody from Antifa has been arrested.

And it’s like, idiots, useless morons, you know nothing about this. They go around as if they’re some authority saying, oh, definitely, the Attorney General is lying and none of this is true.

But one of the first operating rules of Antifa worldwide is: never tell anyone you’re Antifa. Never talk about your ideology. And that’s part of their intelligence and security protocols.

Then they have more offensive protocols where they pretend to be something they’re not. These things are very well thought out. They’re well documented. They’re public. You don’t have to be a genius to understand them. They’re right there in front of you.
