Portland’s insurrectionists are more numerous, organized and energized as a result of President Trump’s surge of federal law enforcement into the city, now on day fifty-something of the Siege of Soros, but who’s counting. Contrary to Trump’s claim, they have not restored order and haven’t done–not necessarily their fault–a fine job. In fact at thisContinue reading “Siege Notes, Portland July 21: Good Morning Vietnam”

Salmon Street in between 4th and 3rd Avenues is very rough during the day. Antifa hangers-on and homeless crazies predominate on the short block bordering what is in effect antifa occupied territory–Lownsdale Park across from the US District Court. Homeless schizophrenics and the like are attracted to the camp with its free food and excitement.Continue reading “Siege Notes, July 20: Keep Portland Cruel”

What we’re experiencing now resembles a revolutionary coup where the actual coup and transfer of power (and maybe bloodletting) comes at the end of a long period of chaotic change instead of its onset. Institutions, like individuals, that never would have assented to Current Year norms in saner times have nowhere to go after theirContinue reading “Siege Notes, Portland July 17: Antifa Cries Out in Pain as it Strikes You”

The humorously named Chad Wolf, acting head of Homeland Security, is in Portland and not meeting with state or local leaders after having declared Portland under siege and local government derelict in its duty: “The city of Portland has been under siege for 47 straight days by a violent mob while local political leaders refuseContinue reading “Siege Notes, Portland July 16: Wolf Whistle”

Tents have started popping up in Lownsdale Square park across from Portland’s US District Court as antifa looks to be settling in. Yesterday their Twitter sent out the call for the necessary gear. Earlier in the day park rangers visited their “Riot Ribs” tent which operates a grill and hands out food and water. AntifaContinue reading “Siege Notes, Portland July 14: Tin Soldiers and Trump is Comin’…”

I hadn’t even pulled alongside the small packed car–three baby hoodlums and two white hoes–when I saw the young black punk leaning out his window to glare at me. Apparently he had randomly selected a lone white motorist to intimidate.I pulled alongside and rolled down the window–a bad idea I got away with–and stared back. WeContinue reading “Siege Notes July 12: Antifa Cries Out as it Strikes You”

The Oregonian: The Department of Homeland Security has deployed officers in tactical gear from around the country, and from more than a half dozen federal law enforcement agencies and departments, to Portland, Oregon, as part of a surge aimed at what a senior official said were people taking advantage of demonstrations over the police killingContinue reading “Siege Notes, Portland July 10: Federales”

Well into the second month of BLM’s siege of Portland, the ACLU, antifa and their allies in the state legislature are taking the fight to the state capitol. A special legislative session to address Covid has been taken over, like everything else, by the mania. The ACLU faction has established the Joint Committee On TransparentContinue reading “Siege Notes, Portland July 9: Witch Hunters Go to Salem”

Ruptly is reporting National Guard troops are now on the streets in Portland, per Kate Brown’s authorization, but it appears to be Border Patrol and other federal agents making arrests–in response to antifa’s broadening its attack to include the federal courthouse. The governor issued the order June 1 declaring the fifty troops would be “unarmed” andContinue reading “Siege Notes, Portland July 7: Empire Strikes Back”

Last night the antifa occupation encampment was relatively quiet after a riotous Independence Day. Around midnight they seemed to be staging for something; small groups were stationed at intersections around the siege, the focal point of which is now the ruins of the 120 year-old Elk statue, where bonfires burn nightly.I thought I saw themContinue reading “Siege Notes, Portland July 6: Firing on Fort Hatfield”
