So I went to #CHAZ
The President and Fox news said that a 6 block area of the Seattle neighborhood Capitol Hill has been taken over by anarchists terrorists. They're calling it the "Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone" or CHAZ

They're telling the world that there are armed guards demanding IDs and shaking down local residence and business.
This is getting reported nationally as fact. People all over the world are reaching out to ask if I'm ok. (yes, I am, thanks for asking)
I had to go look for myself, so I braved the new anarchist nation to find the truth.
Here's what what I found in this "terrorist run city"
I had to go look for myself, so I braved the new anarchist nation to find the truth.
Here's what what I found in this "terrorist run city"
- Parents with small children playing.
- people walking their small dogs.
- Art projects.
- dogs and kids everywhere (don't you know this is a warzone?)
- Petition stands. Lots of them.
- volunteers cleaning and picking up trash
- More art projects
- Hot dog stands selling hot dogs with cream cheese. This may be the strangest thing I saw while here.
- more art projects.
in short business as usual for Seattle, but with young protesters around the edges giving speeches, asking for social changes.
and for this, the children were called terrorists.

I also saw that the photos FOX News used were faked/photoshoped, and when caught, they retracted the photos, but the photos are still being used by affiliates.
Also we found out that the shake down claims by Fox were made by the SPD, and then also walked back.

But too late, The damage was done. The nation thinks we're under attack.
In total I learned that a two small 2 blocks of a peaceful protest with all the threat of a farmer's market has frightened a nation.
The Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone is being propagandized for political purposes by con-men who are afraid of what it represents.

Some doing it for the ratings, but most are lying to retain their power.
They getting scared they're going to lose that power, because they are.

For those asking-
The businesses are still open. Everyone is still paying taxes. There is an H&R Block open.
No one here is declaring this a new country, just the media. This is just a small non-violent protest.
