This trial, and the Executive Order signed by President Trump, with regard to Antifa, are long overdue.

Don’t get caught in the trap of ever believing Antifa are anti-fascist. They are the epitome, the poster, dictionary example of Brown Shirt/Black Shirt fascism. The creation and existence of Antifa was never about the expression of political beliefs. Their entire existence is founded upon anarchic rebellion, violence, mayhem, destruction, and evil.

When rampant, nearly nonstop violence, rioting, burning of buildings, burning of vehicles, violent physical attacks take place, shootings, attempted murder, and nothing but a strong desire for anarchy are the foundation and the fruit borne out that is NOT mere political expression.

How about waking up America?

I’m among the greatest defenders of free speech and freedom of experession, of living the U.S. Constitution in this Republic, but with that does come responsibility, intelligence, wisdom, awareness, and if wanting to make a point it will be best heard and considered with well crafted words — not bullets, fire, profanities screamed, violence, threats, rioting, destuction and the pursuit of fascism while wrapping oneself in the guise of being anti-fascist. Pretending to care about America.

These are thugs. Plain and simple. These are a mass of individuals consumed in and by evil. Serving Satan. Miscreants. Dead within individuals who find each other and organize — with the help of very wealthy anti-American men and women behind them. Thugs — they are no different than…

The Brown Shirts of  Nazi Germany or…

The Black Shirts of fascist Italy…

America is fighting its greatest enemy ever. The enemy within. The evil force with nothing but bitterness, hatred, violence, destruction, and evil in their cold, dead hearts, the lost mind, walking dead souls behind dead eyes.  Yet with a flaming evil ignited within by the master they serve, he who has been helping people fall for his lies and schemes since visiting our ancestral parents in the Garden. Nothing has changed. Just more people, more listening to him rather than listening to and obeying God, thus more evil

THAT is our greatest enemy. And when America faces a known threat desiring its extinction? And we know, we recognize it coming from within? We can identify it? We must respond.

Do you truly believe that our Founders would have sat idle, quiet in the light of the Portland riots, the Minnesota rioting, which were NOT peaceful protests, as the American media enslaved to Satan declared?

Wake up!

Do not fear knowing, speaking, and writing the truth. Ever.

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Isaiah 5:20

if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

2 Chronicles 7:14

Know what woe is? Best find out. Now.

THAT doesn’t mean to be idle, silent, do nothing, hide away, remain in delusion, living in some fantasy world created in the jumble taking place in the individual mind, influenced by the world. Being a pretender. Putting on a good front with nothing or not much else but the facade people see. It means being a doer, a true believer, a stand up stand out beacon of light in the darkness.

God put each of us here in THIS TIME for a reason. That isn’t to watch endless dung on Netflix, or make sure you make the tee time, or plan one vacation, cruise, party after another, making sure to keep so busy you don’t pause to see, to hear, to know, to then be able to do rightly. Do not get swept up in the tsunami of lies, noise, and confusion presented constantly by the world. All the business of really doing nothing. At least nothing of substance for the glory, honor, and praise of what God has done for us.

It doens’t mean you sit at home refusing to vote when God put you in this land at this time for a reason. It doesn’t mean when you’re present and hear outright evil spewed, you grow fearful, shrink, and remain silent. Not if knowing otherwise, not if knowing the truth contained in God’s Word.

Remain silent, and you are complicit.

Remain idle, and you place your stamp of approval on the evil.

Don’t like that? Too bad.

Prove me wrong.

Because evil has had its way, it’s say in this land for far too long. Due to the apathy, passivity, delusion, silence, idleness, of so-called, self-proclaimed “good people,” supposed people who profess to know God and His Son, and His Word.

Or those who define themselves as “good people,” according to their own definition. Not according to what God says. Imagine that!

Lost pretenders.

Was Paul silent and idle? Peter? John? The prophets? Daniel? Abraham? Moses? Jesus?

Are Satan and his legions of minions and ministers silent and idle?

Going to a church on Sunday isn’t all that it’s about folks. Wake up already, while God blesses with breath and a beating heart.

Be that city illuminated on the hill. Not hiding under a basket.

Police Officer Shot in Alleged Antifa Attack Testifies in Texas Trial

The police officer, who was shot in the neck, and detention officers finalize their testimony on Feb. 25 in the landmark trial.

DALLAS—Police and detention officers testifying in the North Texas Antifa trial gave eye-witness accounts of the nighttime attack on an immigration holding facility that left one officer shot in the neck and others fearing for their lives.

The government witnesses wrapped up their testimony on the third day of the Fort Worth trial surrounding a shooting the federal government alleges was a coordinated attack by Antifa on the Prairieland Detention Center near Dallas on July 4, 2025.

Members of Antifa, short for anti-fascists, had not faced terrorism related charges in the United States until this incident, despite being involved in organized protests across the country that have at times turned violent.

Antifa is modeled after a militant group that worked as the violent arm of the Communist Party in Germany starting in the 1930s. Some symbols from the original group are still used by the movement today, such as the raised-fist salute.

Alvarado police Lt. Thomas Gross, who was shot after responding to a 911 call to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility, testified that he saw a guard chasing a person dressed in black with a face covering.

Gross said he got out of his vehicle and saw another person dressed in black carrying a rifle.

“At this point, the scene is becoming extremely chaotic,” he said. “I believe I was getting ambushed.”

Loud noises and shouting could be heard during a recording from the police officer’s vehicle after he got out, including someone yelling twice: “Get to the rifles.”

Detention supervisor Cindy Harp testified that she and officer Dekeithan Reedy were both unarmed as they went outside to investigate the loud noises.

After leaving the building, she heard someone with a bullhorn speaking in Spanish. Then, she heard someone tell her she should be proud of herself for working at a detention facility.

She couldn’t clearly see who was there because they were all dressed in black and wearing masks, but testified she heard roughly four people talking.

Harp told the intruders they were on private property and needed to leave.

“I was in shock, and I’m kind of nervous because nobody’s supposed to be there,” she testified.

Harp said she and Reedy started running toward the parking lot after hearing loud popping noises. They saw a police car heading toward them and noticed two people dressed in black. As the car pulled up, Reedy yelled to the police officer and pointed at the two figures.

Almost immediately after the officer got out of the vehicle, gunfire erupted, Harp said.

With her voice breaking, she described an assailant shooting the police officer, who she heard say, “Oh, God.”

Arthur said that proving the defendants are members of Antifa could be difficult. One way would be to show communications, such as text messages, between members concerning Antifa, he said.

“The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist,” Arthur added. “You know, the same thing can be said about Antifa.”

The Ku Klux Klan, the Weather Underground, and the Symbionese Liberation Army are all examples of loosely organized groups, he said.

“Terrorist organizations don’t generally give out ID cards or issue uniforms,” he said.

During opening arguments on Feb. 24, Assistant U.S. Attorney Shawn Smith told the jury that defendant Benjamin Song shot 11 times at police and detention officers until his rifle jammed.

The alleged Antifa cell, which wore “black bloc” attire—dark clothing and face coverings—had more than 50 firearms, including AR-15-style rifles that had been modified to shoot in rapid bursts, according to authorities.

They used an encrypted messaging app and monikers in group chats to hide their identities, according to the indictment.

Some allegedly used handheld radios, and at least one had a “Faraday bag” used to block law enforcement from tracing cell phones; others conducted reconnaissance and discussed what to bring to the “riot,” according to the criminal complaint.

The alleged Antifa members called the plan a “noise protest” to show solidarity with illegal immigrants inside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center, according to the criminal complaint.

Cameron Arnold (also known as Autumn Hill), Zachary Evetts, Bradford Morris (also known as Meagan Morris), Maricela Rueda, and Song face the most serious charges of attempted murder, discharging a firearm during a crime of violence, in addition to providing material support to terrorists.

Other defendants facing lesser charges include Savanna Batten, Elizabeth Soto, Ines Soto, and Daniel Rolando Sanchez-Estrada.

All have pleaded not guilty.

Defense attorneys attempted to distance their clients from the shooting, with several saying their clients weren’t present when it occurred. They have painted the incident as a political protest.

Attorney Christopher Tolbert, who represents defendant Savanna Batten added: “In America, we don’t prosecute our citizens for their political beliefs.”

Nathan Baumann, 20; Joy Gibson, 30; Seth Sikes, 22; Lynette Sharp, 57; and John Thomas, 32, each entered guilty pleas to one count of providing material support to terrorists during their federal court hearing.
