Antifa and Other Leftists Try To Shut Down Pro-Women Meeting In Seattle

    Each month, John Wilder at Wilder Wealthy & Wise publishes a Civil War 2.0 Weather Report to gauge whether the country is moving toward (or away) from civil war. He lists 10 steps toward civil war, with number 8 being "Common violence that is generally deemed by governmental authorities as justified based on ideology." Number 7 is similar: "Common violence. Organized violence is occurring monthly."

    Which brings me to this story from the Post Millenial: "EXCLUSIVE: Armed trans, Antifa militants disrupt women's rights event at Seattle library." According to the article, on Sunday the "Women's Declaration International (WDI), a gender-critical feminist group, hosted a panel to discuss safeguarding women's-only spaces that trans-identified biological men have infiltrated over the past several years." But the event was disrupted by "a trans Antifa group and left-wing protestors ... prompting a heavy police response and demands to disperse. Armed protesters roamed the streets, while others blocked library entrances, menacing and intimidating those attending the event."

    Around 5:30 pm, black bloc Antifa militants armed with firearms roamed the library grounds, acting as security for the counter-protesters. The criminal unit was outfitted with radios and was searching for political targets. Other left-wing demonstrators, mostly transgender and hiding their identities behind masks, began to arrive, and by 6:20 pm, more than 100 protestors had assembled in front of the library entryway to disrupt the event.

    Those attending the event were harassed and intimidated by protesters when they tried to enter the library. One woman, who walked into the library in tears, told The Post Millennial that Antifa militants had surrounded her outside the facility, and physically blocked her from entering, causing her to seek help from library security. The group also screamed vulgarities at her, she said.

But as the article relates, the protestors did not disperse, but merely shifted their protest to another library entrance, and later returned to the main entrance. 

    It may have been Google's normal censoring, but I could not find any reports of this incident other than the Post Millennial article and a couple posts on X, including one from Andy Ngo. Since there were no references to arrests, this appears to be yet another incident covertly supported by local government. Thus, it at least qualifies as a 7 on Wilder's list, but more likely fits in as an 8.
