<p>Few in the media have followed Antifa more closely - and have the scars to prove it - than journalist Jack Posobiec. </p><p>From infiltrating their 2016 meetings where they planned their attack on Trump's inauguration to going undercover in Seattle's CHAZ in 2020, Posobiec has never backed down from exposing the true nature of Antifa.</p><p>In The Antifa, Posobiec uncovers the secret history of this radical anarchist group, while integrating his personal encounters with some of its most hardcore and violent members. While until recently few Americans were aware of Antifa's existence, Posobiec shows that, in fact, it is part of a violent revolutionary tradition that dates back more than a hundred years. </p><p>Like its predecessors, most recently including the Weathermen terrorists of the 1960's, it is driven by an overriding aim: the overthrow of the existing political order and capitalism itself, and replacing it with a communist state.</p><p>Antifa saw and seized its chance in 2020. Because it was not brought to heel - indeed, was encouraged in its violent mayhem by sympathetic city and state governments — it now looms as a greater threat than ever before. In fact, as Posobiec shows, Antifa is today better positioned than were any of its radical forebears to actually achieve its goal.</p> Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

HOWEVER, this is not the book to use to document Antifa! The author is so far out in the fringe that it makes almost everything he says suspect. Rather than to use his platform to document proven facts about Antifa, he instead uses undocumented or questionable statements to make his case.
Not to mention his undisguised hatred for the United States Government. Or, at least, the parts of the government that insist on fact based evidence, and not the latest tweet by an unsatisfied person.
Some examples:
"Simply, the federal government is biased towards targeting right-wing groups rather than left-wing groups. This derives from a number of factors, but a strong component of it is single-source media consumption by those who live in the Beltway and truly run the government of the United States; the interagency bureaucracy."
"The intelligence community is truly run by rent-seeking bureaucrats all vying to lie, cheat, and fail their way into making the next rank."
"All the analysts were working from home because of COVID so they really only had access to unclassified. So they're sitting home using Google and CNN to write open source intelligence."
And what does the author base these revelations on? He openly states, "Much of this comes from firsthand knowledge from my years serving in the intelligence community in Washington DC, as well as interviews I conducted with current and former members for this book". ALL OF WHOM REMAIN UNNAMED!
So, what could have been a valuable insight into the growth and development of the Antifa movement, is wasted on the author's rantings and ravings. Very disappointing! ( )
