An antifa militant runs past a burning police car in Los Angeles, May 30, 2020
If you’re concerned about the looting, burning, and alarming mayhem in the United States of America, you need to learn about Antifa.
America’s new domestic terrorists “Antifa” is short for anti-fascist — fascism being one-man rule, such as by World War 2 era dictators Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. Since the USA does not have a fascist form of government, antifa adherents have blurred vision from the start. Yet because they’re Marxist revolutionaries — against constitutional authority, against property-rights capitalism, and justify violence as a means to an end — it’s the antifa “troops” who are breaking windows, hurling incendiary devices, throwing rocks, and doing great harm.
President Donald Trump is correct that antifa are terrorists. Dressed in black and predominately Caucasian, antifa have “cells” all over the U.S. Taking advantage of the videoed police abuse of George Floyd in Minneapolis, antifa sprang into action on the heels of their Black Lives Matter counterparts. The violence that’s erupted is being led and primarily caused by antifa. What you are seeing is antifa’s militant Marxist platform, using brute force to attempt to simultaneously destroy government and businesses.
The sudden violence, which has included the complete destruction of a police station, and widespread looting, burning, and mayhem, has even caught liberal Democrats by surprise. As left-wing Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti exclaimed, “This is no longer a protest. This is destruction.” Because although today’s Democrat politicians and antifa share similar beliefs (they’re both godless, socialist, irresponsible, thieves, reverse racists, and historical revisionists redefining justice), Democrat politicians try to protect their government positions, which they adore, while anarchistic antifa attack all government, period.
Exacerbated by bad government and cheap-grace churches As FNC’s Tucker Carlson pointed out, we elect representatives to protect us from harm, and elected officials that fail to quickly quell violent riots have failed us. This is why politically-incorrect foreign governments are laughing at us right now. Because the first three days of violence last week went unabated as liberal leaders coddled antifa and their Black Lives Matter cohorts, apparently regarding tear gas, rubber bullets, police batons, and deploying the national guard as too much. Yes, now arrests are happening, but will everyone whose property was destroyed be reimbursed by their negligent, mostly Democrat-run cities?
And not only did bad government contribute to the destruction you’re seeing, bad government influenced and invited antifa in the first place. Consider this: Why is antifa largely atheistic? Thirteen years of “God is dead” evolution indoctrination in the government-controlled schools. Why is antifa blaming outwardly instead of being humbly introspective? Bad government’s decades of rewarding irresponsibility, and not supporting Christian values, or life-long marriage, or even appropriate discipline of children. Why is antifa violent? Because gratuitous violence is celebrating in the media (liberal government no longer effectively prohibits “harmful matter”), and so many criminals are not being prosecuted, punished, or even serving out their full sentences.
Ultimately, the Church shares responsibility for the rise of antifa. For if righteous voting were a priority, we would have good, not bad, government. If religious liberty were valued, congregants would be taught the Christian precepts of our U.S. founding fathers. If the fear of God, specific sins, and hell were revealed like the Bible teaches, people would think twice before committing obvious sins. If Biblical justice for individuals based on personal merit were taught, a true view of evidence, fairness, and individual responsibility would thrive.
What’s more, if the Church taught holy discipleship, selfishness would be replaced by love for neighbor. If identity in Christ were taught, there would fewer racists and even fewer who falsely accuse others of racism. If family values were emphasized with accountability, personal responsibility and love for others would become a habit. And if sacrificial love and shepherding of children were taught like the Bible teaches, there would be a lot less youngsters in the atheism-teaching, irresponsibility-promoting, immorality-producing government schools.
Where did antifa comes from? They were bred close to home. The sooner we come to grips with this, the sooner we’ll embrace the Truth that can set us free.
But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God… 2 Timothy 3:1-4
Carmel, California restaurant owner Jeff LeTowt is being heavily oppressed for his God-given rights by the Liberal Left establishment in Monterey County, which is ignoring the Constitution and the statutes.
Rosa Parks. Tiananmen Square. Christian martyrs. They stood up for what was right in God’s sight against evil tyrants. And standing up for all of us right now is Jeff LeTowt.
As owner of the Tuck Box restaurant in Carmel, California, LeTowt initially submitted to the lockdown orders of Gavin Newsom and Monterey County. Closing up for a month-and-a-half lost him $60,000. Facing reality, he reopened May 3, and his patrons happily returned.
Yet since then, LeTowt has been oppressed by his county’s district attorney and public health officer.
On May 13, he was cited for a) allowing customers to dine-in, b) not spacing customers six feet apart, and c) not wearing face coverings when serving patrons. These three misdemeanor charges threatened LeTowt with $3,000 in fines and 18 months in jail.
On May 15, two officers of the state’s Alcoholic Beverage Control department came to the restaurant to tell LeTowt he could lose his liquor license if he stays open.
Resolved to stay open for the sake of his livelihood and financial future, and to defend his God-given and constitutional rights, LeTowt signed on with attorney Harmeet Dhillon of the Center for American Liberty, who is now representing him.
Incensed, Jeannine Pacioni, the county’s Democrat district attorney, whose own website claims she will “promote justice” and “ensure that the rights of victims are upheld by treating them with dignity, respect and compassion,” increased her legal attacks.
On May 21, the D.A. got an unconstitutional local judge to issue a temporary restraining order to prevent any further “violations” by LeTowt and the Tuck Box. She’s also suing LeTowt, seeking an injunction on the grounds of “unfair competition” and “unfair business advantage,” claiming LeTowt “unfairly profit[ed]” while other restaurants remained closed.
Not only is this lawsuit communistic in trying to force equal conditions, it’s unconstitutional. Because in both state and federal law, “unfair competition” means fraudulent, false, or misrepresented trade or commerce that harms other businesses or harms consumers.
Is Jeff LeTowt and his restaurant harming customers? No, local residents enjoy dining there, and many customers consider his restaurant “essential.” Harming other businesses? No, LeTowt isn’t causing closed restaurants to lose money — the ruling Democrat politicians are. Is LeTowt engaging in fraud? No, he’s honestly open and not gouging his customers either. Therefore, the county’s lawsuit against him, which “makes up the law,” must fail.
Likewise, the three citations against LeTowt must be dropped. The state and federal constitutions both require due process and compensation before government can take property from private owners. But the ruling Democrats in Monterey County forgot about that, didn’t they?
In the midst of this lockdown madness, Jeff LeTowt is our constitutional hero. He’s a role model for resisting tyranny, upholding the written Constitution, not fearing man, and persevering under great pressure. His act of resistance will help end this lockdown sooner.
