Many Americans assume that Antifa is a new group, but in reality, it is only new, or relatively new, in the United States. Back in 2011, I spoke at an outdoor rally in Stuttgart, Germany, and Antifa was out in force. Hundreds of police were there also, and if they had not been, I would not be writing this today: before I spoke, I was standing in front of the massive police phalanx with some members of the German group that had invited me; among them was a young man who I took to be one of their number until I shook his hand and smiled and he responded, “If it weren’t for all these police here, I would have knifed you by now.”
As the other speakers and I spoke, Antifa members threw rocks, bottles, and manure at us, while screaming things such as “Nazis raus.” This was ironic, as they were behaving much more like Nazis than those they were screaming at. So I decided to address them. In the midst of this barrage, I stood at the front of the stage and addressed the Leftists, while they blew their vuvuzelas and booed to try to drown me out, and kept on throwing things. This is what I said:
I came from the United States of America to stand for freedom, with all free people, against the forces of oppression and darkness which you are representing.
I came here in order to stand with the people who are fighting for the freedoms that make it possible for you to do what you are doing today.
Not the violence and hatred, but to stand and dissent, but you can’t stand to have any kind of rational discussion, you can’t stand having dissent, you have to try to throw bottles, and drown us out, because you are cowards, because you know that you stand for nothing except for oppression and darkness and hatred, and that is why you are there.
And that is why I am here.
You are fronting for the most radically intolerant and hateful ideology on the planet. Everywhere in the world, everywhere in the world, where there are Muslims and non-Muslims, there is conflict because the Muslims attack the non-Muslims. The Qur’an teaches to make war against the unbelievers, and to subjugate them.
And you are already subjugated! You are already their useful idiots. You are already their tools. You are out here in their service.
And you think you’re fighting for freedom. You are fighting for your own slavery!
You are fighting for your own enslavement.
And it will come. It will come to you.
You are fighting for an ideology that denies the freedom of speech, and one day you will wish you had the freedom of speech, and one day, you will wish you had the freedom of speech that you are trying to fight against today.
You are fronting for an ideology that denies the freedom of conscience and will kill you if you disagree, which is exactly what you want to do already.
You are fighting on behalf of an ideology that denies equality of rights for women, and all the women among you will one day be enslaved, if you get what you want.
You are fighting for the destruction of all the freedoms that you enjoy.
You are fighting for the utter defeat of your own selves, and your own life.
You are slaves seeking slavery. You are the oppressed loving your oppression, and thinking that you are standing for freedom.
You are the most foolish, you are the most evil, foolish, people on Earth.
We are standing for the human rights of all people. Of the oppressed Christians in Indonesia, in Pakistan, in Egypt, in the Sudan that you just heard about.
We are standing for the oppressed people who are targeted by Islamic jihad everywhere around the world. In Israel. Everywhere around the world.
And so, in closing, I have to say: Shame on you!

AntiFa is the Communist Party of Germany.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_Party_of_Germany
Check out the photo on the lower-right. The logo is the same except the flags on the current logo blow to the left, instead of to the right like the old logo.
Karl-Liebknecht-Haus, the KPD’s headquarters from 1926 to 1933. The Antifaschistische Aktion (a.k.a. “Antifa”) logo can be seen prominently displayed on the front of the building. The KPD leaders were arrested by the Gestapo in this building in January 1933, when Hitler became Chancellor.
When they say fascist, they mean capitalist.

when they say fascist they mean everyone who opposes them and their perverted agenda.

Antifa in America is supported by George soros and Dems to attack and smear conservatives.

There seems to be a new twist in site blocking. When clicking on this tiny URL one gets the blocking message. If the url is copied and pasted in a new page, either in the tiny or expanded version, there is no blocking.
The blocking only occurs when the back link is Jihad Watch. This could be only one in a list of blocked back links, but it seems to be a new device to stop referral links from certain sites.
D Austin says
I don’t have any problem getting there over Century Link DSL.

That is typical rw crank stuff!!! Shrill punctuation. Vague reporting about who pulled the body from the water, when it was taken from the water, and so on.
Nice use of multiple colors and size of print, however!!!!
Now please be a good crank by refusing to display some evidence that “Antifa in America is supported by George soros”.

Nobody does extremism as well as us Germans. The land of Dr Faust.
I remember seeing Antifa totalitarians in the 1980s, but then the movement was swept into parliaments and governmental positions and that depleted it. Remember Germany’s foreign minister? He was Antifa when it was called APO.

Yeah, probably 1.6% increase in the Gulag population at some point. Someone should kick down his door, drag him out, and put him in a forced labor camp to see if he still loves Stalin! Watch how fast he screams civil rights and Constitution.
steveA55 says
And if that wasn’t enough to make them stop and think then I don’t know what will.
It’s true that Robert and friends are on the side of equal human rights for all people, and yet we get attacked and blamed for being Nazis!
‘Antifa’ must stand for ‘anti-factual’ propaganda.
Arne Bralund says
Exactly what these need to hear! You are what is needed today, Brave men who dare to speak up against this mass hysteria! It’s a shame that not more people stand up for heros like you!
Paul says
A sadly all too prophetic speech. The whole thing has been like watching
a car crash in slow-motion. These people cannot be so stupid, surely?
Maybe some of them have grown up since, but I’d imagine that a great
many are now just doubling down in their wickedness. Indeed, their chickens
will come to roost.
Paul says

“And so, in closing, I have to say: Shame on you!”

Again, a word to these unwashed ‘Antifa’ weirdos. This pretty much sums them up! :
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light
and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” – Isaiah 5:20
John S. Obeda says
Paul, you have found a very fitting passage which can apply to us too. And eventually the people during Isaiah’s day lost their nation. God forbid that we lose our nation to Muhammad.. God bless the people of our nation to learn the truth and then even dare to broadcast it as we do here and to do so even if we have to suffer for it. We must pray too.
D Austin says
“If you are paid $25.00 an hour to show up to a rally to “counter” the other party using physical force and violence, you are not a “counter protestor.” You are a mercenary.
There is no need for further debate on this. You were paid to attack someone you don’t know for reasons that you couldn’t care enough about to go there for free. You did your “job” and collected your check and your reimbursement of expenses. You’re a mercenary.
Not a Patriot. Not a Social Justice Warrior. Not a Defender of Freedom or Liberty. Not an upholder of Truth or Justice. None of those things you claim to be. You are a mercenary.
And mercenaries are not lawful combatants and deserve whatever comes their way at the hands of the people they are attacking.
You have no 1st Amendment rights when you’re a mercenary.

One in a great country who could be bought off by the enemy to betray his home is in the same category as one who would sell his mother into sex slavery.

If you are paid 25 dollars an hour to make noise and disrupt people speaking for your freedom you are a cheap stupid whore.

Much worse than a cheap and stupid whore.

So true–whores do much less damage, and their intentions are usually a lot better.
D Austin says
So what’s the difference between a whore and a prostitute? Prostitutes are in it for the money. Just ask any corrupt politician…
Websters Dictionary: whore
1: a woman who engages in sexual acts for money : prostitute; also, informal + offensive : a promiscuous or immoral woman
2 : a male who engages in sexual acts for money
3: a venal or unscrupulous person
Japetto Donatelli says
Wow, Mr. Spencer. I did not think my respect for you could be greater than it already was.
Not to be overly dramatic here, but as I listened to you speak Saint Sebastian popped into my head. He was that courageous Christian saint who couldn’t be killed by the arrows shot at him. And that’s what it looked like, you getting blasted with verbal arrows from ignorant and foolish people. In a way it makes me feel sad too. Like when I see someone do something with the best intentions for helping others but they get spit on for it. Anyway, later Diocletian did succeed in having him killed, but only after Sebastian again had the courage to stand in defense of Christians. I’m counting on you having a better ending, but I’m confident you’ll never stop doing your good work regardless the dangers. That’s why you’re a genuine hero of mine. And yes, I will be making another donation soon. LOL
John S. Obeda says
We people must help Robert Spencer to keep his arms up as the people long ago helped Moses to keep his arms up as the Israelites crossed the Red Sea and we must pray for his welfare and also to pray for the welfare of many others who have the courage to speak the truth concerning Islam. We here believe that the future of our nation is at stake.
Burt says
Wow What a powerful dose of truth you dished to those fools Robert. Evil fools they are indeed!
Emilie Green says
I don’t think they heard you.
underbed cat says
H.ly sh.t….Robert, this video, I thought this was current, before I read the first line and I saw the fighting and you standing in front of radical antifa I thought you got attacked. This video is from 2011…yes, good thing you had police protection. You were very brave to try to explain what oppression they should also worry about instead of protecting.
This after opening to G search on 9/5/2017 and seeing a animation of a guy singing with a very strange last name…..and then the guy was “of course” for the left mind from Russia ( most likely from St. Petersburg Russia, ) singing allalalalalalalal song….too weird for me, or am I getting hyper conspiratorial about the animation showing the same day your video headlined. Never heard of the dude, maybe a “wana be”of a popular album released called ooo in the 60’s or seventies by popular actor which left out the L and was pleasant to listen too. Cat still under the bed.

“We”? and “a terrible mistake was made by miserable Europe”?
Lets add handing over Eastern Europe to Soviet Communism. I think I would call that “terrible mistake” something else when traitors are working towards a common goal.
Georg says
Good speech. And prescient coming from 2011. I wonder how the police would have responded to the “knife you” comment were it coming from a white supremacist at a leftist/Muslim rally.
mortimer says
Robert Spencer’s words are terribly true: Someday, they will no doubt wish they had stood up for freedom of speech.
The fascinating contradiction if Europe is how the BANKSTERS and STALINISTS are working together to trick and control the agenda.

Absolutely excellent Robert Spencer .. I stand with you.

Bravo! Another perfect move by Robert it sounds like what I tell democrat associates here in Cali. (I’m not very popluar right now).
Antifa is just an arsonist that claims they are the fire dept.

A mercenary? Paid by who? From a bigwig in the army.? Where did he emerge from? Also,need evidence that Soros is behind all the problems in the world.I thought it was us Jews!

They are blind , the same way muslims are blind to islams insanity.
Mickey says
Thank you, Robert! Awesome speech. My donation money is well spent with Jihad Watch.
Joe says
Awesome speech. But I doubt these soul- and brainless puppets got the message. They do not only hate freedom and free speech. They do also hate America.
John S. Obeda says
As we know, Jesus spoke the truth even to the people who did not want to hear it and He paid the consequences. And today, very unfortunately, many people do not want to hear the truth concerning Islam. Well, God give us the courage to speak it anyway and God help us to pay the consequences for doing so. God bless our nation.
Eric says
In the USA Antifa is an out growth of the Black Block of the 1980’s and the Sparticist League of the 1970’s and 1960’s. Dissent yes. Violence no.
