Klippenstein is a TDS sufferer who wants da gummint to leave poor antifa alone! A mole leaked a DHS report to him and this is his version of it. It's actually a pretty good job of journalism if you ignore the political slant (just like most journalists)
This story is the first in a three part series on the government’s war on American "terrorism."
Twenty-nine year old Chandler Patey has been regularly protesting outside his local ICE facility in South Portland for months, offering up his apartment to fellow protesters to use the bathroom or wash off pepper spray, according to local news.
That phrase appears in an internal report produced by DHS, the largest law enforcement agency in the country. As they see it, Patey—a young man accused of no crime and who looks like a random protester plucked off the streets of Minneapolis—is a domestic terrorist.
| …or at the very least a fellow traveller. |
In Patey’s apartment, Fox News hosts Laura Ingraham and Jesse Waters saw something sinister: an "Antifa safe house," as they called it in multiple segments.
| Precisely correct. Any claim to the contrary is disingenuous. |
This kind of idiocy is hardly unprecedented by the standards of cable news, of course; but the federal government is buying into the hysteria, too. Documents leaked to me show Patey and countless other American protesters have been branded as domestic terrorists.
| A decade or more overdue, but we’ll take it. |
As a result, their private information is now being collected and stored in a DHS intelligence system shown below.
The government’s elevation of an ordinary citizen like Patey to terrorist mastermind is the result of a subtle bureaucratic process revealed in this and other DHS documents I’ve obtained. They show that since almost the beginning of the Trump administration, DHS has been desperate to pull together evidence—no matter how thin—of an epidemic of left-wing domestic terrorism.
| Reporters like Andy Ngo have been collecting this information for years, and they are happy to share with the feds, since often the local police are not permitted to act on it. Especially since until Trump 47 the federal Deep State management would not let them accept the information either. |
"This is my very normal apartment, and it has been referred to by right wing social media grifters as the ’Antifa safe house,’" Patey told The Oregonian. "But I just let people use my sink and use my bathroom."
All of this follows President Trump’s designation of Antifa as a "domestic terrorist organization" (and his related NSPM-7 directive). Senior DHS officials have described to me the bureaucratic nightmare of having to find a legal way to implement the patently outrageous directives of an elected president whom they feel they can’t just ignore.
| The federal bureaucracy is riddled with Deep State Progressives who view Antifa as romantic rebels in the 1968 mold, seeing them as freedom fighters holding the line against against the eeeeevil MAGA fascists. Of course they’re frustrated at what the Trumo interlopers are trying to force them to do. |
