This report is a roll-up of activity from revolutionary communist, radical anarchist, fascist, and other ‘alternative’ political groups that fulfill our intelligence requirements for both the Alt-Left and Alt-Right for Wednesday, 31 January 2018. Activities included are from New York, Minnesota, Washington, Charlottesville, California, San Diego, Russia, Sacramento, Texas, Michigan, and Cincinnati.
Alt-Left:
New York: Antifa member and John Jay College professor Michael Isaacson, who has repeatedly displayed anti-police sentiments on live television and social media, has reportedly been fired from the university for his recent statements. In regards to his firing the university released a statement: “Mr. Isaacson is no longer teaching at John Jay. In regard to expressions of hate or intimidation, please review our previous statement, http://www.jjay.cuny.edu/news/statement-john-jay-college-president-karol-v-mason.” (Source: https://pjmedia.com/trending/cop-hating-antifa-professor-finally-terminated-john-jay-college/)
Antifa: Steven Crowder and Jared Monroe appeared on Joe Rogan’s podcast to discuss their recent infiltration into Antifa, which according to Jared was quite easy. Jared claimed that Antifa openly discusses where they’re meeting on their social media pages, which are also easy to infiltrate. Jared recorded his first meeting with Antifa, where they proceeded to give him a knife, discuss upcoming protests and their acquisition of firearms such as two AK-47’s and a sawed-off shotgun. When Crowder and Jared attempted to provide the information they gathered to the media and FBI, the news media outlets did not want to cover the story and the FBI was more interested in Antifa’s function/organization and Jared’s communication with Antifa members via an encrypted app. (Source: https://www.louderwithcrowder.com/crowder-takes-joe-rogan-behind-scenes-infiltrating-antifa/)
Washington: An Antifa member was caught on video harassing and becoming increasingly aggressive with a group of elderly women who were protesting Planned Parenthood outside of one of it’s facilities in Olympia, Washington. (Source: https://www.facebook.com/tiny.toese/videos/175428956562691/)
Facebook: An anarchist Facebook account posted a list of reasons why antifascists and anarchists wear masks at protests. The list is comprised of seven reasons why they wear masks and each reason is accompanied with an explanation as to why wearing a face covering is essential for protecting oneself. The following is the list of seven reasons why protestors should wear masks:
- State surveillance
- Blacklists

- Infiltration
- Harassment
- Media exposure
- Physical safety

Notable Activities:
New York: An AMTRAK train carrying members of Congress to a Republican retreat in Greenbrier, West Virginia was involved in a crash earlier today after colliding with a truck. One fatality has been confirmed, however the members of Congress who were on board, as well as their staff and family have reportedly been unharmed. Authorities have not yet determined if the crash was an accident or an intentional terror attack on the train and it’s passengers, however this train crash has occurred just weeks after antifascist and anarchist groups have claimed responsibility for previously targeting AMTRAK trains and have openly discussed their plans for targeting more in the future.

California: In a rant caught on video, a California high school teacher was seen slandering members of the military. In the video the teacher is heard saying things like, “Think about the people you know who are over there. Your freakin’ stupid Uncle Louie or whatever. They’re dumb s – – – s. They’re not high-level bankers. They’re not academic people. They’re not intellectual people. They’re the freakin’ lowest of our low.” In response to the now viral video, the superintendent of the school district said that the teacher would be disciplined.
