The group that takes credit for the Occupy Wall Street movement of 2011 has a new and even more outrageous plan in mind. They intend to “occupy” the White House.
Adbusters, an online magazine that describes itself as “a global network of artists, activists, writers, pranksters, students, educators and entrepreneurs who want to advance the new social activist movement of the information age” issued a post that they called Tactical Briefing #1 to launch their plans to “lay siege” to the President’s home in Washington, DC.

Antifa were filmed getting pummeled and thrown into a ditch on Saturday after a fight broke out at a pro-police rally in a residential neighborhood in Fort Collins, Colorado.
Antifa terrorists last month showed up to another pro-police rally and attacked Michelle Malkin and other patriots without provocation while police were ordered by their commander to “retreat.”
There was fears antifa would try the same stunt at this rally over the weekend but instead they ended up in a ditch and several leftists were reportedly arrested.

The residents of Louisville, Kentucky, have denounced the tactics employed by the local Black Lives Matter (BLM) chapter to sway local business owners, noting in a protest that the activists are using methods similar to those used by the mafia.
The protest, staged by the city’s substantial Cuban-American population, was conceived as a way to push back against the demands sent by the Black Lives Matter crowd to the city’s business owners.
The demands, which were circulated by activists since early July, had several key points that were purportedly aimed at “uplifting” the lives of the Black families in the area.

This week, maybe as soon as Monday, the Seattle City Council will vote to lop off several police programs and officers in an effort to “defund” police.
On Sunday afternoon, thousands of Seattleites turned out to “Defend the Police” to try to convince the rabidly leftist supermajority on the council to keep the cops.
from Breitbart:
SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle City Council approved proposals Monday that would reduce the police department by as many as 100 officers through layoffs and attrition — an action supported by protesters who have marched in the city following the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis but strongly opposed by the mayor and police chief.
Measures that would cut less than $4 million of the department’s $400 million annual budget this year passed out of committee unanimously last week. On Monday, only council member Kshama Sawant voted against the budget package, saying it does not do enough to defund the police.

Hundreds of ‘mostly peaceful protesters’ swept through the Magnificent Mile and other parts of downtown Chicago early Monday, smashing windows, looting stores, confronting police and at one point exchanging gunfire with officers, authorities said.
As The Chicago Tribune reports, officers had stopped several people on Lake Street near Michigan Avenue when shots were fired from a passing car around 4:30 a.m., nearly five hours into the widespread vandalism, according to police spokesman Tom Ahern.

Chicago has been gripped by large-scale rioting and looting, believed to have been sparked by a police shooting in the city. Law enforcement are reportedly struggling to restore order.
Social media was flooded with photographs and videos showing widespread chaos in the city. Footage shows large crowds walking through the streets with looted merchandise, as people rush in and out of stores.
According to eyewitness reports, looters targeted large department stores such as Macy’s and Nordstrom, as well as luxury shops including Gucci, Louis Vuitton and even a Tesla dealership. Countless other businesses were also reportedly ransacked.
