VIDEO: Brawl Breaks Out as Patriots Rise to Confront ANTIFA for Threatening a Disabled Veteran in Colorado Suburbs

These ANTIFA terrorists were repelled by Colorado patriots.

A video is quickly going viral of ANTIFA domestic terrorists being repelled by a group of patriots after allegedly threatening a disabled military veteran.

The group of patriots can be seen in the video marching as ANTIFA terrorists back up, realizing that they aren’t in a liberal-dominated city like Portland or Seattle this time. The masked terrorists are jeered at by the patriots and clearly intimidated through their body language.

“So we are currently marching the ANTIFA commie b*stards out of the neighborhood because nobody wants ANTIFA in the neighborhood. Nobody wants them here so we are marching them out,” the man taking the video said.

“Bye bye, commie scum! Bye bye, go home!” a man announced as the ANTIFA hordes were driven from the neighborhood.

At a certain point, a skirmish occurred and there was a brief brawl between the ANTIFA terrorists and the patriots driving them out of the neighborhood. It is unclear from the video how the brawl was started.

“You guys came to the wrong city, boys and girls,” a patriot announced as the brawl was taking place.

One of the communists in the skirmish had a knife, according to bystanders, but it does not appear that anyone was stabbed during the brief brawl. The police showed up after the fight had concluded. Cops can be seen arresting certain violent communists while the rest of the leftist mob fled.

Part 2:

Big League Politics has reported on how ANTIFA is devastating towns willing to tolerate their orgy of destruction, with Portland being perhaps the most embarrassing example of this national phenomenon:

Portland ANTIFA continued its reign of terror over the Oregon city on Saturday night, setting a fire within a Portland Police Bureau union building that the far-left militant group had already targeted and successfully burned on two previous occasions.

A combined force of the Portland Police and Oregon State Police ejected the far-left thugs from the area shortly after the arson attack on the union building, finally showing some force after it appeared the ANTIFA mob had free reign to...

4 Points in Understanding China’s Goal for Meddling in US Elections

FBI Director Christopher Wray reportedly provided a detailed classified briefing to the Senate Intelligence Committee last week on election meddling by China.

Also, on Friday, William Evanina, director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center, issued a public statement with details of how China, Russia and Iran were targeting the U.S. elections.

The Chinese communist regime’s interference includes hacking local voter registration databases and trying to influence members of Congress, Axios reported.

Wray’s briefing also came as the Chinese state-owned TikTok, an increasingly popular social media app believed to be a potential tool in election interference, not only faces a U.S. ban but may be sold to Microsoft or another American company.

Experts say China would not be able to change votes cast by Americans. But this could be cyberwarfare that the United States might not be prepared for, and could create chaos and lack of trust in the integrity of the election results.

Here are four potential ways China could interfere in American elections.

1. How Would China’s Meddling Compare to Russia’s?

Russia’s meddling in the 2016 U.S. election led to lengthy congressional probes and a special counsel investigation. Russians hacked the Democratic National Committee and bought social media ads.

“Cyber is certainly the strongest lever to turn, manipulation on social media, it all falls under the umbrella of information warfare,” Greg Barbaccia, a former Army intelligence sergeant with expertise in counterintelligence, insider threats, and corporate espionage, told The Daily Signal.

But the hacking threat could be increased, Barbaccia said.

“With the Equifax hack, China accessed information on 145 million people,” he said.

The social media companies vulnerable in the 2016 election campaign will be more prepared, he said.

“Facebook has a huge interest in countering interference this time around,” Barbaccia said. “They know their own reputation is on the line.”

It’s somewhat difficult to compare Russia and China in election meddling, said Karla Mastracchio, a former intelligence analyst who continues to do consulting work for the Defense Department in the areas of communication and influence.

“Russia and China have different capabilities,” Mastracchio, also an adjunct professor in the department of journalism at the University of Iowa, told The Daily Signal. “It’s like two high school bullies. One is big and strong. The other is really smart. Both could make your life miserable.”

She said Russia and China both are good at developing “deep fakes,” or videos that look real, which are more compelling than the false news stories that Russia pushed on Facebook in 2016.

“A deep fake is not just good technology but technology tied to the culture to become believable,” Mastracchio said. “Deep fakes look for things that validate people’s beliefs.”

She noted that China has enough business ties with the United States and other regions of the world that it can obtain an understanding of the culture—political and otherwise—for effective PR messaging.

“We should stop thinking about countries as border-bound and think about their digital footprint,” Mastracchio said. “China has a huge digital footprint in the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America as well as the United States.”

Hans von Spakovsky, a senior legal fellow with The Heritage Foundation, said China is clearly more of a threat than Russia. He cited the hack of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, in which China accessed information on all federal employees.

“Folks who were so worried about Russian interference should realize China is a bigger threat,” von Spakovsky said. “The OPM hack was the biggest data breach in the federal government’s history. If they wanted to cause trouble, they could.”

2. What’s China’s Endgame?

CHICAGO — Three family members have been indicted on a labor trafficking conspiracy charge for allegedly forcing two undocumented West African teenagers to work in the Chicago suburbs.

Nawomi Awoga, 71, of Hazel Crest, and her two daughters, Marina Oke, also known as Marina Fandohan, 34, of Country Club Hills, and Assiba Lea Fandohan, 31, of Hazel Crest, are charged with conspiracy to conceal, harbor, and shield from detection two children from the West African country of Benin, according to an indictment returned in U.S. District Court in Chicago. The indictment also charges the defendants with forcing labor through threats of serious harm to a victim or another person.

They were arrested Monday.

According to the charges, Awoga coached the victims, then age 14 and 12, in Benin to lie to U.S. immigration authorities about their family relationships in order to obtain tourist visas, and then accompanied them into the United States. Once in the U.S., the defendants harbored the victims in residences in the Chicago suburbs of Country Club Hills and Hazel Crest while the victims were forced to provide labor and services for...
