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. ImageImage
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. Image
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… Image
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. Image
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 Image
@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? Image
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. Image

Right now: @JennaEllisEsq introduced as a DeSantis supporter but quickly points out that she hasn't endorsed anyone yet. Says she's a big fan of both front runners on policy.
@JennaEllisEsq Now: @RudyGiuliani says it was substantive & it was a shame the questions were "limited", had the feel they were "picked in advance". Difference between Trump & DeSantis: "One has done it...we know what kind of president Trump is." Has problems with DeSantis' lack of loyalty.

Right now there is a court case against Christian Exoo, the individual who ran the AntiFashGordon Antifa doxing account on Twitter. During that it has been discovered that Daryl Lamont Jenkins owned the urls for Torch Antifa.

via: Reliable Sources with Oliver Darcy on Telegram Image
In a video explaining the situation Jenkins stated that the International Anti-fascist Defence Fund is helping him to pay his legal costs. So the question is...who funds the ADF?
In this video Jenkins states that he will be supported by the International Anti-Fascist Defence Fund.

It's sadly predictable that the activist papers are smearing @TuckerCarlson as a racist for his 'Not how white people fight' text. It's disappointing that many conservative outlets aren't rebutting this nonsense for fear of being called a racist also. A brief thread. Image
Carlson said 'It's not how white men fight' relating to an incident where three Trump supporters beat up an Antifa member. The full context shows a deeply human moment of reflection wherein Carlson rejects the all-too-common impulse to dehumanise political opponents. Image
Carlson grew up in a well off neighbourhood & attended several private education facilities. He is used to moving in well-to-do circles where physical fights are taboo & where, when they happen, will be one-on-one, not gang. I witnessed this teaching in private schools. So...

In the past month I published two deep dives into how Craigslist's Craig Newmark is pouring hundreds of millions of $$$ into the disinformation industry & America's leading journalism schools. He is quietly buying up the future of journalism & swinging elections for the DNC.🧵
In this piece I recount how Newmark, unable to deal with the election of Trump in 2016, went down the Russian collusion conspiracy theory rabbit hole and decided to spend $200million in the run-up to 2020 to swing the election for Biden. thefederalist.com/2023/02/13/cra…
Many of his donations were transparently pro-DNC.

🚨Massive and disgraceful breaking news in the @DougMakey case. 🚨

Disgraced Antifa journalist Luke O'Brien has just interfered with an expert witness in the case which has led to a request for a delay from Makey's team.

A short thread....🧵
Luke O'Brien who was fired from HuffPo last year has harassed the defence's leading expert witness causing him to withdraw as a witness.
O'Brien attempted to portray the expert witness - Hawley - as an extremist based on emails that O'Brien presented to him. O'Brien pressured the witness by presenting him with the apparently hacked emails and asking if his employers knew about his testimony.

Highly significant! An SPLC attorney arrested in Atlanta last night for terrorism. The SPLC is currently the biggest ally of Antifa relying on their hacked materials & doxes of individuals for their “hate watch” list. The SPLC actively hires Antifa “researchers” & “journalists”…
Michael Hayden is one of the most prominent Antifa journalists. He featured in my now peer-reviewed research into Antifa on Twitter. The SPLC also recently hired his close friend - Antifa journalist - Jason Wilson. Both were outed in this article - quillette.com/2019/05/29/its…
Researcher Megan Squire is openly Antifa. In a @WIRED article Squire details how she passes the identifying information of suspected far-right extremists to Antifa & how she condones the group’s use of violence as a last resort in a “diversity of tactics”. wired.com/story/free-spe…
