WATCH: Seattle ‘Autonomous Zone’ Has a Border Wall, Conducts ‘Deportations’; Who’s in Charge of CHAZ?; Dispatch From ‘CHAZ’: Tweets Call for Guns, Gatorade and Cigarettes

By Breitbart. Seattle, Washington’s Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) — formed by anarchists, Antifa members, and Black Lives Matter activists — has set up a border wall surrounding its perimeters and is seemingly conducting ‘deportations’.

CHAZ, a six-square block autonomous zone, has clear and precise borders made up of mostly vehicle barriers and various forms of fencing.

Likewise, CHAZ occupants have seemingly conducted at least one deportation.

On Thursday, reporter Julio Rosas captured a moment where CHAZ occupants kicked out a man who said he was a pro-life activist and had been live-streaming from inside the autonomous zone.

The man was taunted by a mob as he was kicked out. The process was far less technical and impartial than the deportation process of the United States federal government.

Who’s in Charge of CHAZ?

By PJ Media. Conservative media has been pushing the narrative that “armed antifa” thugs are in control of the so-called capitol hill autonomous zone. Indeed, antifa is there. And numerous witnesses attest to at least some of them being armed.

But if you read the mainstream media and listen to Seattle authorities, you get a quite different picture.

It is true that demonstrators have occupied a small, six-square block section of Seattle and designated it an “autonomous zone.” And it is true that, after clashes with police, a precinct was boarded up and evacuated in an attempt to deescalate the situation.

But claims that bands of militant Antifa members are roving the Seattle streets appear to be grossly exaggerated in right-wing media. In fact, according to the Seattle mayor’s office, city officials haven’t seen any evidence to indicate armed members of Antifa are even on the ground.

“City officials have not interacted with ‘armed antifa militants’ at this site, but will continue to be on site to monitor the situation closely,” Lori Patrick, a spokesperson for the Seattle mayor, told CNN Wednesday night.

Dispatch From ‘CHAZ’: Tweets Call for Guns, Gatorade and Cigarettes as Cops Struggle to Figure out Who’s in Charge

By Fox News. Activists and police have clashing views regarding the activities going on inside the so-called “CHAZ,” a six-block area of Seattle that has been taken over by protesters — and authorities are still scratching their heads as to who is actually running the rabble. . .

One CHAZ supporter, identified as Armani on Twitter, encouraged protesters to “buy guns.”

Police have repeatedly said they have “heard, anecdotally, reports of citizens and businesses being asked to pay a fee to operate within this area” while others have complained about armed guards asking to see identification for people to enter their homes, according to Assistant Chief of Police Deanna Nollette.

Police have also said their response time to 911 calls has tripled over the last few days because they are unable to access the downtown region and are being blocked out by protesters.

A possible leader behind the movement is Kshama Sawant, a Seattle City Council member who helped let hundreds of demonstrators into City Hall earlier this week in a late-night protest calling for Mayor Jenny Durkan to resign.

SEATTLE TAKE OVER: Armed Antifa Mob Take Over Police Precinct, Issue Insane Demands While Extorting Businesses; Mainstream Media Downplays ‘Insanity in Seattle’

By Independent Sentinel. As we reported yesterday and this morning, Antifa seized a police precinct and a six-eight block area in Seattle Capitol Hill. Black Lives Matter is also involved and took over the City Hall with Antifa. Thousands are moving in to the Antifa ‘cop free zone.’

The Mayor, Jenny Durkan, ordered the police to abandon the precinct. She sent porta potties in to these domestic terrorists. She is so weak. . .

On Tuesday “Free Capitol Hill” the Antifa “Autonomous Zone” released its list of demands from the Seattle and Washington State governments. . .

According to citizen reporter Andy Ngo, “They bar media from entering and screen people coming in. They are walking around fully armed. Talking about making their own currency and making their own flag.”

“The antifa #CapitalHillAutonomousZone in Seattle has a subreddit set up. They are posting about making homemade chemical weapons, maintaining supply lines, & how to use those armed with guns to push police back,” Ngo said.

Antifa Mob Planning to Take Over More Seattle Neighborhoods

By The Post Millennial. Following the surrender of the East Precinct of the Seattle Police Department to an Antifa mob and the occupation of Seattle City Hall, a source on the ground in Seattle says that other police precincts around the city are preparing to be the next targets.

Regarding the autonomous zone established by the Antifa-led mob, the source—whose anonymity we are protecting—says, “They bar media from entering and screen people coming in. They are walking around fully armed. Talking about making their own currency and making their own flag. SPD is talking about abandoning the west precinct now.

“West precinct has the 911 call centre. This is just like the Occupy movement. Soon we will have feces and drugs everywhere and people getting assaulted and raped in the encampments.

“They’ve been relocating everything quietly while the focus has been elsewhere. They know that it’s only a matter of time before these fools have to direct their issues back on the police. Since yesterday, I haven’t seen a single police office or vehicle downtown. Even when they took over city hall, there were no signs of PD at headquarters across the street.”

Mainstream Media Downplays ‘Insanity in Seattle’ as Critics Point out Bias, Hypocrisy

By Fox News. Seattle protesters have declared a six-block area abandoned by law enforcement as “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone,” but the mainstream media doesn’t seem to think the lawlessness is particularly newsworthy.

CNN only mentioned “Seattle” once on Wednesday when discussing general unrest in major cities, according to a search of transcripts, while MSNBC didn’t cover Seattle on-air at all during the same time period. Both networks finally addressed the situation early on Thursday but only to comment on President Trump tweeting about it. . .

“It has been days since this nonsense had started and the broadcast networks — ABC, CBS, and NBC — have kept it off the air,” Fondacaro wrote on Wednesday night. . .

DePauw University professor and media critic Jeffrey McCall feels the “chaos in Seattle is basically the next step in the movement to defund the police” and “generally dismantle” institutional structures and norms – but it doesn’t fit the media’s agenda.

“The traditional media loved covering those earlier protest stories because of their dramatic, sensational, and counter-cultural tone. But the escalation of the Seattle demonstrations into the actual closing of a portion of the city is a bridge too far for even a sympathetic media to cover with an approving nod,” McCall told Fox News.

Project Veritas Video: Antifa Chapter Head Admits Soros Funding, Association With Tom Steyer

As part of its series of undercover videos exposing left-wing organizations like Antifa, Project Veritas released footage claiming to show far-left Democrat activists bragging about George Soros funding and political connections.

Tom Steyer – who unsuccessfully campaigned for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination for 2020 – and liberal financier George Soros are both named as financial contributors in the new clip on Refuse Fascism, an organization dedicated to removing President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence from office.

Andy Zee, national organizer for the group, mentions during the seven-minute video that Steyer “may not want to be directly connected” to the group because he has “political ambitions” that may be hurt by such a relationship, but Zee says the group is in communication with Steyer’s assistant and “main adviser on impeachment.”

Project Veritas is out with another installment in their series infiltrating antifa.

Republicans Decide to Take a Knee and Wash Pelosi’s Feet

Democrats and the media demand that Republicans kneel and wash Pelosi’s feet. The GOP response? “How low and how much water to use?”

The problem conservatives have had with their misfit political party for decades is that the Republicans merely serve as the rear end of the Democrats. They immediately follow wherever the Democrats go and promote whatever issue they are propagating.

One man has been killed by police in what certainly appears to be a murderous act. Justice has been swifter than we’ve ever seen against any citizen, cop or otherwise, accused of murder. There is zero evidence that race had anything to do with the motivation of those cops, two of whom were not white and one of whom says he did work with Somali refugees.

Dozens have been killed and wounded by the rioters. They are blocking traffic and destroying businesses and sections of cities, and crime is spiking across the nation. Which problem is more systemic and demanding of a legislative fix – George Floyd’s death or the response to Floyd’s death and the months’ worth of jailbreak policies that have fueled the rioting through release of career criminals?

One would expect Republicans to push an agenda addressing the spike in crime and the takeover of our streets with as much passion as Democrats are pushing legislation to try to relitigate the Civil War and make an entire generation guilty for one act of police brutality. At the core, this is why Trump was elected – to stop the vicious cycle of GOP kneeling and genuflecting to the Left.

In comes Jared Kushner, who is dispatched to meet with Sen. Tim Scott, an ardent proponent of jailbreak policies, to create federalized standards on policing. The “Republican alternative” to Pelosi’s anti-policing bill, if you will. While fake-fighting the straw man and impossible idea of defunding the police, Republicans are essentially agreeing to most everything leading up to that, when we need to be tougher, not weaker, on crime.

McConnell said yesterday, following a Senate GOP lunch, “Absolutely, I think it’s important to have a response.” “None of us have had the experience of being an African American in this country and dealing with this discrimination,” McConnell said. “The best way for the Senate Republicans to go forward on this is to listen to one of our own. He’s had these experiences; he’s had them since he’s been in the United States Senate.”

“I’ve asked Sen. Tim Scott to lead a group that is working on a proposal to allow us to respond to the obvious racial discrimination that we’ve seen on full display on our television screens over the last two weeks — and what is the appropriate response by the federal government,” McConnell (R-Ky.) said.

So now Republicans believe in the blood libel too?

Where is the GOP narrative on inner cities becoming war zones, with dead black citizens every day thanks to the lack of deterrent and a hands-off approach by police?

Where is the GOP agenda to reopen our roads from the violent takeovers of the BLM movement still taking place across our cities and even on interstate highways?

Where is the GOP agenda to deal with the black businesses that have been destroyed by the lockdown and now by the rioting, along with the long-term effects on minority communities?

Where is the GOP agenda to deal with the already-existing trend reversing over 20 years of gains against violent crime?

Why does the mob rule? Why do violence and crime pay? Does the silent and silenced majority of this country need to follow suit to have our needs addressed?

Republicans are now to the left of where Democrats were just a few years ago. They are now championing the narrative of the NYT’s 1619 Project to suddenly suggest that this generation of Americans is responsible for sins of the past that have long since been rectified. A premise that was conceived this year as a fringe alt-left idea has now gone mainstream in the Republican Party.

What is the GOP exit strategy? They are now using a single homicide by a police officer (amid exponentially more killings of cops and other citizens by career criminals) as a pretext to remake America, infringe upon the freedom of speech and freedom of movement, create a cancel and book-burning culture, and demand we all sacrifice our security. If Republicans think they can kneel their way out of this, they should just move to a Wuhan wet market. There is no end to a blood libel like this. The more they feed the rapacious beast, the more they will validate and legitimize this injustice.

But alas, this is the purpose of the GOP – to validate the narrative of the Left with a “conservative version” of their destruction of the day. Watch for them to do the same thing with immigration the minute the Supreme Court, in all likelihood, says DACA was unlawful. They refuse to address the needs of Americans with legislation reducing immigration during such a period of high unemployment, deporting criminal aliens, and getting rid of sanctuary cities. Yet the minute that decision comes out, they will interrupt even their kneeling to the race hustlers and pro-criminal lobby to pass an amnesty bill even before a “hamstring the police” bill.

We are simultaneously suffering from the tyranny of the soft lockdown and the anarchy of the rioting – both rooted in false premises and disproportionate “systemic” responses to specific events. If the Republicans can’t provide a bold contrast and a different path on either of these issues, what exactly is the purpose of their existence?

Trump Rails Against Fox News, Compares It to CNN

President Donald Trump railed against Fox News on Wednesday, comparing the network to CNN after it dipped out of the House hearing on police reform following the death of George Floyd.

After Fox News dropped its live stream of the hearing just before testimony from Angela Underwood Jacobs, whose brother Federal Protective Services Officer David Underwood was killed during riots in Oakland, California on May 30th, President Trump attacked the network on Twitter.

“Incredible! @FoxNews just took Congressional Hearing off the air just prior to important witness statements,” Trump tweeted. “More like CNN!!! Fox is lost!!!”

18 Murders in 24 Hours: Inside the Most Violent Day in 60 Years in Chicago; You Don’t Have to Be a Brain Surgeon to See Dangers of Defunding, Disbanding Police; Distraught Officials Heard on Tape Fuming Over Looting, Riots

By Chicago Sun Times. . .While Chicago was roiled by another day of protests and looting in the wake of George Floyd’s murder, 18 people were killed Sunday, May 31, making it the single most violent day in Chicago in six decades, according to the University of Chicago Crime Lab. The lab’s data doesn’t go back further than 1961.

From 7 p.m. Friday, May 29, through 11 p.m. Sunday, May 31, 25 people were killed in the city, with another 85 wounded by gunfire, according to data maintained by the Chicago Sun-Times.

In a city with an international reputation for crime — where 900 murders per year were common in the early 1990s — it was the most violent weekend in Chicago’s modern history, stretching police resources that were already thin because of protests and looting. (read about the violent day in Los Angeles HERE)

“We’ve never seen anything like it, at all,” said Max Kapustin, the senior research director at the crime lab. “ … I don’t even know how to put it into context. It’s beyond anything that we’ve ever seen before.”

The next highest murder total for a single day was on Aug. 4, 1991, when 13 people were killed in Chicago, according to the crime lab. (Read more from “18 Murders in 24 Hours: Inside the Most Violent Day in 60 Years in Chicago” HERE)

Hannity: You Don’t Have to Be a Brain Surgeon to See Dangers of Defunding, Disbanding Police

By Fox News. One does not “have to be a brain surgeon” to see defunding police is an insane idea, “Hannity” host Sean Hannity stated Monday night.

Pointing to Chicago in his opening monologue, Hannity noted that Democrats and liberal policies have been unable to put an end to gun violence and protect the American citizens who are now marching in the streets.

“Chicago has been run by Democrats…for decades. What have they done to solve this problem? Where is their responsibility? What did Barack do? What did Joe do to end the violence in Chicago? What kind of systematic changes did they make when they had all the power to do so?” he questioned. “They did nothing.” . . .

The University of Chicago Crime Lab revealed this week that on Sunday, May 31, 18 people were killed in Chicago, making it the single most violent day in the city in six decades. (see what happened in LA HERE). The lab’s data doesn’t go back further than 1961. (Read more from “Hannity: You Don’t Have to Be a Brain Surgeon to See Dangers of Defunding, Disbanding Police” HERE)

Distraught Chicago Officials Heard on Tape Fuming Over Looting, Riots: ‘My Ward Is a S–T Show’

By Fox News. Distraught Chicago officials complained to Mayor Lori Lightfoot — as looting and rioting in response to George Floyd’s death swept through the Windy City — pleading for help and warning that the vulnerable had lost access to food and medicine.

According to a tape obtained by WTTW News of an online conference call among the city’s 50 aldermen and the mayor, one alderman could be heard weeping while others angrily decried what was going on in the city.

“My ward is a s–t show,” one alderman says. “They are shooting at the police.” . . .

One alderman asked how seniors and vulnerable populations were supposed to get medicine and food if “every CVS, every Walgreens is shutting down.”

“How do businesses recover and why would they want to recover in our community?” another is heard asking. (Read more from “Distraught Chicago Officials Heard on Tape Fuming Over Looting, Riots: ‘My Ward Is a S–T Show'” HERE)

AG Barr Drops a Bombshell About Durham Probe: ‘Very Troubling’

Attorney General Bill Barr told Fox News’ Bret Baier in an exclusive interview aired Tuesday that Americans will be able to recognize “some” of the names under investigation as part of U.S. Attorney John Durham’s ongoing probe into federal surveillance abuses — and that he is “very troubled” by “what has been called to” his attention so far.

Barr asserted that despite the coronavirus pandemic, the Durham team “has been working very aggressively to move forward,” and that there “will be public disclosure” of his findings. Part one of Baier’s interview with Barr aired on Monday.

“I think before the election, I think we’re concerned about the motive force behind the very aggressive investigation that was launched into the Trump campaign without, you know, with a very thin, slender reed as a basis for it,” Barr told Baier. “It seemed that the bureau was sort of spring-loaded at the end of July to drive in there and investigate a campaign.”

The Justice Department’s (DOJ’s) watchdog has identified critical errors in every FBI wiretap application that it audited as part of the fallout from the bureau’s heavily flawed investigation into former Trump adviser Carter Page, who was surveilled during the campaign in part because of a largely discredited dossier funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC).

Additionally, an ex-FBI lawyer in that case even falsified a CIA email submitted to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court in order to make Page’s communications with Russians appear nefarious, the DOJ inspector general found. The FBI lawyer, Kevin Clinesmith, was allegedly told by the CIA that Page had reported his Russian contacts and was essentially acting as an informant — only for Clinesmith to allegedly omit that exculpatory information in a surveillance warrant application that framed Page’s communications with Russians as a sign that he was a secret foreign agent.

Actor Terry Crews Will Not Apologize for His Tweets

A few days after football star Drew Brees distanced himself from his sincere remarks about the American flag because critics called him a racist, actor Terry Crews finds himself on the receiving end of the same cancel culturalists (not a Merriam-Webster approved term). This weekend, Crews shared a beautiful sentiment on Twitter: That white and black Americans should actually work together to defeat hatred. . .

Thousands of people liked and retweeted the statement, but Crews’ message was too offensive for others.

His haters accused him of being “tone deaf,” while others encouraged him to “educate” himself on the terms he used.

Unlike Brees, Crews is standing his ground. He has not deleted his original statement. In fact, he’s since reiterated his message several times and shamed those who were trying to put words in his mouth or misinterpreting him. Or calling him foul names.

“Please know that everything I’ve said comes from a spirit of love and reconciliation, for the Black community first, then the world as a whole, in hopes to see a better future for Black people,” Crews adds. “I believe it is important we not suffer from groupthink, and we keep minds of our own, and be allowed to ask difficult questions to each other. I believe this dialogue is important as we get through this trauma together. I love you.” (Read more from “Actor Terry Crews Will Not Apologize for His Tweets” HERE)

African Woman Excoriates Democrats

The Blaze. An African woman posted a video excoriating Democrats for using traditional African garb in their political photo op on Monday, but her viral message was met with vitriolic anger by some liberals.

Obianuju Ekeocha posted the video to Twitter where it quickly garnered hundreds of thousands views for criticizing the Black Lives Matter demonstration by Democrats using a traditional Kente cloth. . .

Some African Americans on social media also criticized the political photo op by Democrats, while others noted that it was the Congressional Black Caucus that passed out the kente cloths to the lawmakers.

Later, Ekeocha posted an example of a vitriolic email she received from someone angry about her video.

“Well, they’ve sent their dogs after me,” she said. “This is exactly how people view Africans who dare to contradict them.”
