No, Antifa is not plotting to invade Sparta
Thursday, Jun 4, 2020 - Posted by Rich Miller
* This is just insane…
Today Natural News has learned that Antifa operatives are organizing a plan to bus large numbers of Antifa terrorists to the vicinity of Sparta, Illinois, where they will be directed to target rural white Americans by burning farm houses and killing livestock. The purpose of the attack, according to sources, is so that Antifa can send a message to white America that “not even rural whites are safe” from the reach of Antifa, and that if their radical left-wing demands are not yet, all of America will burn (not just the cities).
Sources tell Natural News that Antifa terrorists are currently expected to move along state routes 154 and 4, seeking out rural targets including isolated homes and farms to cause maximum mayhem and property destruction. Although our sources did not specifically mention the methods by which killing livestock would be accomplished, it seems almost certain that firearms would be the most effective way for Antifa terrorists to achieve that morbid goal.
Note: Facebook will not allow you to share this story from NaturalNews.com, as Facebook has blacklisted this entire website in order to censor reporting that exposes Antifa and other criminals operating in America. To share this story, look for it on Trump.news and share from there.
Note it is possible that Antifa may alter its planned routes of destruction based on the appearance of this report. Although our sources are highly reliable individuals, the information / disinformation warfare tactics of Antifa are incredibly advanced, and part of the Art of War is to make your enemy think you’re in one place while you’re actually attacking another.
Free Republic picked it up, as did other lunatic fringe sites. And click here to see how many shares it got on Twitter. Unbelievable.
* The local sheriff finally had to issue a press release…
RANDOLPH COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE
MEDIA RELEASE
June 4, 2020
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Sheriff’s Office has received reports concerning an article that has been circulating on social media regarding the destruction of farm property and livestock in and around the Sparta, Illinois area. This article cites Antifa support, suggesting members of the “terrorist organization” to be out in full force throughout Randolph County.
Sheriff’s Office personnel have reached out to Law Enforcement Authorities specializing in this type of threat. We have no evidence leading us to believe this threat is at all credible. It would appear that the author’s goal is to place fear in our community members, thereby creating fear and discontent.
That being said, Sheriff Wolff wishes to remind our residents to always remain vigilant and report any suspicious behavior to your local authorities.
END.

Living in rural Illinois and listening to people, including police, none of this is surprising. The conspiracy stuff is taken at face value these days. I have lived in the area for almost 20 years and I have watched a continuous increase of this stufff amongst the mainstream. But the last 4 years have been crazy.

There’s like 3 hippies and our surviving WWII vets in Antifa.

Someone might want to tell them that rural areas have been buying guns for generations. Many were purchased for the exact reason defending their lives and property.
But either way make sure everyone you know is on the lookout for suspicious activity anywhere right now. Society isnt normal and anger is starting to build everywhere.

Is there any hope that the next time Free Republic or Natural News says anything, the good people of Randolph County and Sparta will say, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice… ?
Any hope at all?

Thanks for the belly laugh. Picturing groups of patient “Antifa” bus riders wandering rural roads on inconspicuous school busses. LOL

The author of that story “has also stockpiled 10,000 kg of raw material to manufacture Cesium Eliminator in a Texas warehouse, and plans to donate the finished product to help save lives in Texas when the next nuclear event occurs.”
The rest of his bio is no less bananas.
Seems like a totally solid source of information, amirite.

Nah. I’m gonna go with “not being paranoid,” instead.

Not surprising. When legitimate news becomes fake news, fake news gets legitimized. Perhaps are biggest failure these last few years was our inability to defend real journalism. The free press is what has separated us from authoritarian societies who view the media as nothing more than a propaganda vehicle.

The antifa fear, and how they bought it,is just proof of how profoundly stupid the right wing is.

Sparta? Since sports betting is opening for online sign up tomorrow I will take Sparta attendees for the over. I would guess most of the Antifa would not make it off the buses.

Are they worried about old D-Day vets holding a parade? After all, they were the original antifa.

After doing that, if they’d shoot a few rounds of sporting clays or cowboy action at the World Shooting Sports Complex, and eat at one of the fine local restaurants, it would boost the Sparta economy. /s

From the “about” page at natural news:
===Some of the many Natural News success stories in exposing fraud and protecting consumers include:
* Conducting a detailed forensic visual analysis of McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets and publishing the photos on Natural News. These photos revealed Chicken McNuggets to contain “strange fibers” that had previously not been known to exist in McNuggets===
I guess that “a detailed forensic visual analysis” means they looked at it very closely.
I suppose finding actual muscle fibers in a Chicken McNugget might be newsworthy…

What I would really like to know is who is chartering the buses? This story and the earlier story all have rioters or antifa being brought to an area by the busload…what do the people passing these stories along think is happening? I have a lot of questions: Are these school buses or the nice buses with AC? Who is paying for the buses? Why don’t the police notice busloads of rioters? Who feeds these people? If they stop at McDonalds, do the drivers eat for free? Who pays for the gas? Is this like a field trip where the buses go from town to town?
- MrX - Thursday, Jun 4, 20 @ 8:12 pm:
CPD was duped by the White Nationalist group that was posting as Antfia claiming that busloads of Antifa were coming from Indy. Some of the burbs shutdown on Sunday because of it as well.

In all sincerity and with genuinely huge respect, if it wasn’t for CapFax I wouldn’t come in contact with this insanity and I would be much healthier and sleep much better. But I suppose it’s best to know what kind of nut cases are out there.

As I watch global protests tonight, so many around the world continuing the protests around the clock, the sun literally not setting on the protests…

There are those talking… “Sparta” and “Antifa”… based on nothing.
- ArchPundit - Friday, Jun 5, 20 @ 2:08 am:
So Frank Miller’s version of cities and Greece is ascendant in rural Illinoid (see graphic novels and remake of 300 for reference).
Antifa has issues, but I think the link to Marcy Wheeler (a fantastic independent national security reporter by Keyrock is good at explaining what they actually are. There are a fair number of jerks in Antifa and some who are far to willing to respond to violence or engage in violence.
If you are worried about violent groups who might come to your community to create problems, Antifa isn’t it.
You might experience a variety of white supremacists, anarchists, a few vaguely defined right wing groups, or some, at this point, very small communist groups such as the Revolutionary Community Party clowns based out of Chicago, but none of them are Antifa. That said, none of those are too worried about Sparta or any other small community in Illinois.
The simple question to those who try to claim Antifa is a large terrorist group is identify what terrorist attack have they ever been demonstrated to undertake?
Breaking windows in a few cases, probably. Fighting against white supremacists and being over ready to do so? Absolutely. But finding a case where there was a terrorist attack isn’t possible or prove me wrong.
This isn’t a big defense of them as I think non-violence is almost always better (almost limits include what Lincoln and FDR undertook for me). Some of them advocate violence and some advocate non-violence with some in between.
The confusion usually comes over Black Bloc tactics which I don’t like, but there is some overlap with Antifa which is, again, not an actual an organization, but a set of tactics and attitudes.
Clearly, we need to reconnect our small and larger communities somehow because right now too many are seeing the other as an enemy and that’s just not the case. I’d love to blame the guy in the WH, but the reality is the divide is greater than him. But let’s start dealing with our issues as people and not paranoia.

This was/is fresh meat for the far-right 2A crowd. They were loading magazines, chest-beating, and perpetuating this spew to family and friends all night (Monday, different rural Illinois area.) I was hearing it from all directions from otherwise stable law enforcement and EMT friends, among others. Yeah, a group of murders are going to charter some buses to go murder white people in farm houses.
“OK, we need to meet back at the bus by 1:00am or you’ll be left behind. Not a minute later. We’ll have a box lunch for you on the ride home. And we only have just so much storage on the bus so don’t steal particularly large items. And we’re full so no hostages this time. The movie for the ride home will be The Purge.” /s
I’ll be hearing it forever to justify their love and need for their guns — just like it had been true.
- DownSouth - Friday, Jun 5, 20 @ 9:02 am:
==Randolph County thinks they’re that important? Adorable.==
Well, they do have some infrastructure that could be targets if any of this was even remotely real; KRPD docks, boatworks, power plants, coal mines, Menard, Chester Mental Health, Gilster Mary-Lee, Costello Lock and Dam, Con Agra, FS barge loading facilities, ….Lots of “critical” things that theoretically could be interrupted.

Can I simply just say what a relief to discover someone who really knows what they are discussing on the web. You certainly realize how to bring a problem to light and make it important. More and more people ought to read this and understand this side of your story. I was surprised that you’re not more popular because you surely possess the gift.
