'ANTIFA SUPERSOLDIERS' ARE COMING TO KILL WHITE PEOPLE WITHIN DAYS: RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY
BY MICHAEL EDISON HAYDEN ON 11/1/17 AT 6:01 PM
Well, its come to this: The far-right obsession with antifa has been overblown into a fake news story that now rivals the most over-the-top Michael Bay movie. Allow Newsweek to introduce you to the Antifa supersoldiers who apparently exist in the minds of some people on the far right, and who are coming to behead all white parents across America this Saturday, if the bizarre and spiralling fake news story is to be believed.
As with the fake news story that antifa is waging civil war on America, which was started by Alex Jones at the conspiracy site InfoWars, the imaginary supersoldiers have been injected into the far-right's coverage of a series of rallies planned for Saturday to demand the removal of President Donald Trump from office. The story may sound asinine, but concerns are growing that it could lead to someone inflicting real-life violence, activists told Newsweek.
The news story, which has since been embraced with irony as a meme on left-leaning social media circles, spawned from a joke posted Friday on the comedic Twitter account @KrangTNelson. It said: cant wait for November 4th when millions of antifa supersoldiers will behead all white parents and small business owners in the town square. The post was meant to mock the festering panic over an exceedingly fake Civil War plot for which thousands of FOX News grandparents may, at this very moment, be boarding up their windows in panicked preparation, according to the anonymous person behind the Krang account, who wrote about the controversy he or she inadvertently started in a first-person story for VICE. Right-leaning accounts began to report the satirical tweet as being offensive, which led to the temporary suspension of @KrangTNelsons account on Twitter.
Thank you for making your terroristic threats so unmistakable, a commenter going by the name Irredeemable OC5150 wrote under the Gateway Pundit story. Proves a lethal response is justified, a commenter going by the name Dorsai1 replied. Lock and load, a commenter named Mark said.

(39,405 posts)11. trying to blame everything on Russia isn't impressing or intimidating anyone
and Democrats don't seem to have the gift for scare-mongering anyway.
Do you think lefties are mindless idiots who will do anything they're told in a pop up add?
Even if there is Russian propaganda out there, all propaganda needs to build on an existing belief to be effective.
If you don't want it to work, the best defense is do a better job for people, so they don't look to Facebook ads for guidance.

This is no joke - if this was a few years ago and one of our groups said this, Lynch or Holder would have our butts downtown for questioning. If not thrown right in jail.
Sick to death of these people getting away with whatever they do and say. We voted you all in, what more can we do (politically speaking)?

But Antifa was able to come to life because of the First Amendment and its incorrect interpretation

Its pretty well known Anti-fah has recruited ISIS and Alqueda members into their fold....and this for awhile now. It should not be surprising the left uses them and they certainly are more than willing to die for the cause....its their nature and religious belief.
Theres a host of Attorneys who go to bat for them when they are arrested as well....
