Thread by @EoinLenihan

I actually thought this was a meme chart but it is real and used by Antifa and Anarchist researcher Michael Loadenthal who has now set his account to private. Here's a short thread about Loadenthal and the absurdity of him being part of a DHS sponsored research project.

Here is a good summary of how this individual was funded by the Biden weaponised DHS. foxnews.com/politics/unive…

In 2019 I wrote an article - based on my now peer-reviewed Antifa research (see pinned tweet) - that identified the leading Antifa academics on Twitter. Michael Loadenthal was one of those academics. open.substack.com/pub/dreoinleni…

Here are screenshots of that section of the article.

Speaking at the 2016 international peace and justice studies conference, Loadenthal called for participants to embrace militancy, encouraged non-cooperation with any law enforcement or government bodies.

Michael Loadenthal speaking at University of Dayton "White Nationalism Workshop" where he talks about how he pressures corporations, employers, school officials, family, landlords to get targets "deplatformed".

Michael Loadenthal speaking at University of Dayton "White Nationalism Workshop" where he tells people to contribute to defence funds for anti-fascists because "a lot of the things we are doing are illegal." Also, he states that he's had "many conversations with the FBI".

As part of my peer-reviewed research into Antifa on Twitter - in which I was able to identify Loadenthal as one of the leading Antifa academics in the US, I downloaded all tweets belonging to members. I have all of Loadenthal's pre-2019 tweets & they show a pattern of militancy.

After Donald Trump was rushed off of the stage in Reno after a speech on Nov. 5th 2016 Loadenthal celebrated and seemed to call for his assassination tweeting ""Know your revolutionary history friends. 5 November 1605: Gunpowder [treason] Plot" with a series of bomb emojis &… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

While claiming he is no "proponent" of FARC - the Colombian Marxist-Leninist terrorist organisation - he goes on to recommend reading up on their world-view and states he uses their "propaganda" in the classroom.

Michael Loadenthal - a supposed academic and far-right extremism expert - was involved in the #disruptj20 riots and arrested. Here he details his "crew"'s involvement, his arrest and brags about having to go from jail to teaching in 20 hours time. @Heritage @TPUSA @theMRC

@Heritage @TPUSA @theMRC Hardly surprising Loadenthal has locked down his Twitter account. Is @DHSgov aware that it's grant money is being used by a literal violent domestic extremist who was arrested during the J20th inauguration day riots?

Adding some more clips from Loadenthal's two University of Dayton's conference appearances. At the White Nationalism talk he introduced himself as openly militant Antifa.

In the same talk Loadenthal talks to the audience about how to safely dox people. "if you're going to identify random people on the internet and expose them to their employers you need to do that in a secure way." He goes into the need for burner phones, sock accounts, etc.

Loadenthal speaks about how he explicitly uses 'antifascist' intelligence rather than OSINT and outlines the key steps he uses to dox individuals online and in real life. Why this is being shared in a university setting and acceptable grant submission material for a @DHSgov grant… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Once Antifa have gathered the doxes of people, how do they use them to get people deplatformed? Loadenthal explains.

In another talk at the University of Daytona Loadenthal uses a highly controversial taxonomy of far-right extremism which seems to imply a radicalisation pipeline leading from mainstream GOP and media outlets to violent extremist terror.

It's totally normal that an employee at the university of Cincinnati should be coordinating with the Cincinnati branch of Antifa rebuild the community and "meet together as allies"...Oh wait, it isn't normal. At all.
