So your first night with them, you burned the Portland Police Association… Strategically what they're doing is, they're forcing a dilemma action. A dilemma action is when you put your opponent in a no-win situation. Your enemy has to react. If they don't react, they look weak; if they do react, they have to react in a certain way where it looks like it's an overreaction.

It's not so much a matter of ruling the whole city, it's the sense that antifa [moves] the Overton window. "If this person is advocating for something we don't agree with, we can go punish them and we can punish their friends and family." It's a self-censorship. If the cops are a token force now, and they can't stop anyone, and antifa can destroy your life, then people are going to know that.

"Independent Press Corps," he told me. As it turned out, dozens of other young PRESS people happened to work for the same outfit, which I at first assumed was a fancy way of saying "I want to report stuff and stream it on my Instagram." This turned out to be naive. The IPC is an organized group in league with the activists, and it is usually their footage you see streamed online and recycled on the news: mostly innocent protestors being harassed and beaten by police.

The IPC and other documentarians who are deemed sympathetic to the activists' cause agree on certain principles. You do not show activists' faces. You only show activists in a defensive position: responding to, rather than inciting, violence. You enhance what can appear to be police brutality, e.g., activists defending themselves with homemade shields, often bearing the anarchist circle-A, against police. The shields are largely ineffective for personal defense, but extremely effective for optics, and that's precisely the point. If a member of the IPC is arrested, he or she will be protected.

Reporters seen as not sufficiently sympathetic to the cause—which is defined by the Ten Demands for Justice, and includes most notably the abolition of the police—will be followed, be harassed, have their notes photographed and their phones blocked or stolen. (All these things have happened to me in the last month. A photographer friend has been repeatedly doxxed and placed on a list of "enemies.")

Antifa press corps in action:

https://archive.vn/TYjlQ Left-wing reporter falsely accuses murdered Portland Trump supporter of backing terrorism Mia Cathell The Post Millennial  September 1, 2020 1:30 PM2 Mins Reading

Far-left journalist Alex Zielinski of the Portland Mercury wrongly accused the murdered Trump caravan participant, who was shot dead in Portland, of supporting a far-right terrorist.

Last year, Zielinski interviewed a pseudonymous Antifa informer who purported that The Post Millennial's editor-at-large Andy Ngo was secretly collaborating with Patriot Prayer. Ngo denies the allegation and was never contacted by Zielinski for fair comment. Reason reported that Portland Mercury’s alleged video evidence did not support the sensational accusation.

The lie was then propagated everywhere and widely cited in Vice, The Daily Dot, and The Inquisitr, asserting that Ngo was a co-conspirator with the right-wing group all while Ngo disputes the explosive claim.

Ngo acknowledged that he was never reached for a response to the pseudonymous accuser and to date was never awarded the opportunity.

New guidance on AP Stylebook Online: Use care in deciding which term best applies: A riot is a wild or violent disturbance of the peace involving a group of people. The term riot suggests uncontrolled chaos and pandemonium. (1/5)
