'Take your a** home!' Heavily-armed black rights groups march through Austin chanting anti-illegal migrant slogans, demands Biden 'close the border' and calls for 'reparations to be paid NOW'

2022-09-27

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

Oh, Austin. OK.

Activists with black self-defense groups held an armed 'Second Amendment Unity Walk' on Saturday in Austin, Texas
....home of an active Black separatist community, including NFAC (Not F---ing Around Coalition), a Black nationalist group with the usual military-like structure, fielding an army of hundreds of heavily armed men and women with a cadre of former American military veterans. NFAC claims to despise Black Lives Matter as effete. In 2021 they established an autonomous zone within an eleven mile perimeter called Orisha Land confiscated from the center of Austin, with a secondary, failing farm commune in the Colorado Rockies. Founder Grandmaster Jay (John Fitzgerald Johnson), who started out reasonably sane, last year concluded we live in a period of apocalyptic tribulation signaled by the movements of celestial bodies, and then was convicted by the feds for...stuff. He was supposed to have been sentenced a month ago, but I can’t find information on the sentence...
where they marched to the State House

The group called for President Biden to close the borders and demanded reparations for descendants of enslaved people and a hate crime bill protecting Black Americans

The group was led by the The Elmer 'Geronimo' Pratt Pistol & Rifle Gun Club

Several other groups were involved including the Black Riders Liberation Party
...founded in 1996 and inspired by the original Black Panthers, the “revolutionary socialist” Black national group claims to organize Black gang members to together “stand up against white supremacy and capitalist oppression." They first marched in Austin for Black armed self defense in 2015, alongside the local, also Black Panthers-inspired Huey P. Newton Gun Club.
The march comes after Texas Gov. Abbott sent two buses of migrants to VP Kamala Harris' home and Gov. DeSantis sent a plane of 50 migrants to Martha's Vineyard

Harris slammed Republicans for 'playing games' with human lives for busing migrants across the country

Radical Alt-Left Militia Leader Now In FBI Custody On Illegal Weapons Charges

2018-01-09

[Gateway Pundit] Anti-capitalist militia group Guerrilla Mainframe released a statement stating that one of their organizers, a man named Rakem Balogun, was taken into custody after a raid by FBI and ATF agents on December 11, 2017.

Balogun, according to the statement issued by Guerrilla Mainframe, held leadership roles in various far-left organizations and militia units, including Geronimo Tactical, Huey P. Newton Gun Club, and of course, Guerrilla Mainframe.

Part of the group’s statement reads:

The F.B.I. report detailing the perceived BIE threat specifically discusses the shooting of Dallas police officers in July 2016. The document was prepared by the F.B.I Domestic Terrorism Analysis Unit, and has shown an effort to "criminalize" political organizers with progressive and revolutionary ethics. The Trump administration and prior Presidents have made their desire to derail black revolutionaries through declarations and actions crystal clear. Our struggle as change agents is to instruct and liberate the masses with revolutionary discourse, and we will continue to do so.

Far Left Watch did some digging on the various groups that Balogun is associated with. Geronimo Tactical did not have a website, but the group does have a Facebook page with around 800 members. It’s a closed group, but they do have a public statement:

Armed New Black Panthers Confront Armed Anti-Islamic Protesters

2016-04-03

[DallasMorningNews] Racial tensions in South Dallas almost exploded at an anti-mosque protest Saturday afternoon before quickly dissolving when the protesters retreated.

Both sides were armed.

Dallas police stood guard on a funeral home’s roof as black counter protesters swarmed the parking lot of Eva’s House of Bar-B-Q, vowing to defend their streets and chanting "black power."

"This is what they fear -- the black man," said activist Olinka Green. "This is what America fears."

The anti-mosque group showed up in camouflage, carrying guns and an American flag, FOX 4 reported. They left soon after and the protests ended without incident.

"It’s a people’s victory here in South Dallas today," said Yafeuh Balogun of the Huey P. Newton Gun Club, named for the founder of the original Black Panther Party.

Balogun, who helped organized the counter protest, added that he wasn’t "surprised" the group withdrew when confronted by the emotional crowd.

"Would you come out and face them?"

The Bureau of American Islamic Relations, or BAIR, had planned to protest against the Nation of Islam mosque at 1 p.m.

The group rallies against what it calls radical Islamism. Its name riffs on the national Muslim advocacy group CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations. BAIR has protested multiple times outside the Islamic Center of Irving and had threatened a protest outside the Nation of Islam two weeks ago, but no one showed up.

The group decided to protest at the Nation of Islam on Saturday, accusing the mosque of "promoting violence against Americans openly and publicly," according to a Facebook page about the event.

"We cannot stand by while all these different Anti American, Arab radical Islamists team up with Nation of Islam/Black Panthers and White anti American Anarchist groups, joining together in the goal of destroying our Country and killing innocent people to gain Dominance through fear!" the event invite says.

The Huey P. Newton Gun Club and the New Black Panther Party were among those to come out in opposition. They, too, wore full gear and carried rifles.

Krystal Muhammad, national chair of the New Black Panther Party, accused BAIR of trying to "intimidate and bully" the mosque. She and others lined Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, armed and dressed in black, because "no one else will protect our people."

Rowdy crowds in south Dallas as black rights groups prepare to clash with anti-Islamic group protesting mosque

Down the street, in the barbecue restaurant’s parking lot, anger at Saturday’s anti-Islamic outsiders quickly bubbled into shouts about racism and classism in America.

A chorus of voices cried out in support of "black power."

They bellowed to shield their home from white infiltration: "Whose streets? Our streets?"

One man swore at a white TV reporter and later shouted, to no one in particular, that "we got the right to shoot back" if tensions escalated.

Robert Greaves, who lives in South Dallas, said his community owed no explanation for its anger and frustration.

"This is the black America that white America made," he said.

The Revolutionary Gun Clubs Patrolling the Black Neighborhoods of Dallas

2015-01-07

Dunno what to make of this.

The lead:
[Vice] On a warm fall day in South Dallas, ten revolutionaries dressed in kaffiyehs and ski masks jog the perimeter of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Park bellowing "No more pigs in our community!" Military discipline is in full effect as the joggers respond to two former Army Rangers in desert-camo brimmed hats with cries of "Sir, yes, sir!" The Huey P. Newton Gun Club is holding its regular Saturday fitness-training and self-defense class. Men in Che fatigues run with weight bags and roll around on the grass, knife-fighting one another with dull machetes. "I used to salute the fucking flag!" the cadets chant. "Now I use it for a rag!"

"A knife changes the whole game," one of the drill sergeants, who goes by the name Chief, explains, demonstrating how to perform a slash-and-stab maneuver on the torso of a wide-eyed girl in her 20s. A panhandler wanders up from the street. He is about to ask for spare change but then becomes interested. "What is this? Self-defense? That's cool." A pack of black bikers throw up their fists as they roar by.

Black Panther Dies In Exile

2010-10-25

A Black Panther accused of 156 counts of plotting to bomb New York public buildings and murder police officers has died. He and 12 other Black Panthers were later acquitted.

Michael Tabor and another defendant, Richard Moore, had fled to Algeria four months into the eight-month trial -- one of the longest in New York history.

Tabor, 63, who went by the name of the 19th century Zulu king Cetewayo, died from complications after several strokes on October 17. He had been living in Zambia.

As a captain in the New York City faction of the Black Panthers, he was accused of abandoning his brothers by the party's supreme commander Huey P. Newton. Despite being acquitted, he never returned to the United States.

Unlike Mr. Moore, who quickly fled back to the familiarity of America, and was arrested in June, 1971 while holding up a club in the Bronx, and has spent a very long time in prison.

For a time, he and Mr. Moore were guests of the Algerian government, Mr. McCray said, but they were eventually expelled. Mr. Tabor and his first wife, Connie Mathews, who had been the party's international coordinator, moved to Zambia in 1972.
Note: The original article incorrectly cited as the BPP supreme commander Mr. Huey P. Lewis. I guess it's hip to be square.

A Nigerian blogger tells about Mr. Tabor's life in Zambia. Unlike Mr. Moore, who yields pages of Google hits between 1971 and now, Mr. Tabor was forgotten in the land of his youth, until he made the mildly interesting move of dying.
