I consent to be governed, but will not be ruled

This is a man who has spent his entire life in “public service” and is best known for groping children, sniffing random women, the ‘94 crime bill, and his son fucking his other, dead son’s wife while knocking up a prostitute, while being in bed with communists.

And now they have jihadi, combat training.

A fascinating thread on a topic we’ve touched on in the past regarding blm and antifa training with jihadis.

So, DHS tracked these left wing militants who aligned with Islamic terrorists but continued to publicly say that right-wing, white Americans were the greatest threat to America.

The Syrian conflict and US based Antifa Nexus…

 Earlier this year parts of a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) memo in conjunction with US Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) National Targeting Center (NTC) Counter Network Division (CND) report was released. It goes into detail on individuals encountered upon return from Syria that actively fought alongside the Yekîneyên Parastina Gel (YPG) which translates to the People’s Protection Units.

These individuals were members of the International Freedom Battalion (IFB), an armed group consisting of leftist foreign freedom fighters fighting for the YPG in the Syrian civil war support of the Rojava Revolution against ISIS. Open source research shows that most if not all have connections to Marxist, Socialist, Communist and Anti-Fascist ideology.

We were able to identify the recruiting website that is no longer up. In most cases the question of “how does one even join a Syrian rebel group” was answered. The website was call rojavaplan.com (archive).

Now the majority of recruiting is done through the Lions of Rojava Facebook page. All of this is very real despite what you might hear on from Mainstream Media. There have been a multitude of advisories by State Department and other agencies warning US citizens against traveling to Syria to engage in armed conflict.

US STATE DEPARTMENT ON AMERICAN VOLUNTEER FIGHTERS IN SYRIA

“The U.S. government particularly warns private U.S. citizens against traveling to Syria to engage in armed conflict. U.S. citizens who undertake such activity face extreme personal risks, including kidnapping, injury, or death. The U.S. government does not support this activity, and our ability to provide consular assistance to individuals who are injured or kidnapped, or to the families of individuals who die in the conflict, is extremely limited. Individuals who demonstrate an interest in groups opposing ISIS, including on social media, could open themselves to being targeted by ISIS itself if those individuals travel to Syria.”

“Fighting on behalf of or providing other forms of support to designated terrorist organizations, including ISIS and al-Nusrah Front, can constitute the provision of material support for terrorism, which is a crime under U.S. law that can result in penalties including prison time and large fines.”

 Despite all that, there have been many who have traveled to take part in the civil war. One of the main members of the IFB is Brace Robert Belden from San Francisco.

He is a self-identified Marxist, member of the Democrat Socialists of America, specifically the local Marxist caucus Red Star, and was responsible for unionizing Anchor Brewing Company.

Belden spent 6 months in Raqqa to fight alongside the YPG under the umbrella of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). Belden was assigned as a machine gunner on a makeshift tank for the Raqqa campaign.

Belden served alongside another American named Lucas Chapman.

Chapman decided to volunteer for the Kurdish YPG Militia in 2016. According to Chapman, really it was the YPG’s ideology that pulled him in:

“It’s part Anarchism, part Communism, part Socialism,” he explains. “Everyone gets a voice. That’s what appealed to me so much about it.”

Today, he works for the North American Kurdish Alliance (NAKA), a 501©4 nonprofit that lobbies for Kurdish rights in the US. They also hold rallies and help the families of Americans who’ve died in Syria fighting ISIS.

Another person included in the DHS report is Caleb David Stevens from Michigan. He first came to the attention of US authorities after stumbling into Chicago area emergency room with a gunshot wound sustained in Syria.

“I was in a unit of other Westerners. We had a Western commander, and then, eventually during my time there, I was leading half of the unit. Sometimes our days were training, studying Kurdish, talking. There were a lot of militant anarchists. There were some people who were there specifically because of their feminist beliefs. So, yeah, sort of people coming from all angles.” Caleb Stevens – March 13, 2018

Steven’s joined through the Lions of Rojava Facebook after seeing an article in Rolling Stone highlighting Belden’s time in Raqqa. The front man for the Lions of Raqqa is an American named Jordan Matson from Sturtevant, Wisconsin.

From the Lions of Rojava Facebook “Fight for an emerging model of Equality, Freedom, Democracy and Social Justice in Syria and the middle east!”

Another Lions of Rojava recruit named in the DHS report is Ian Paul Broadhead from Wilmington, North Carolina. Since returning he has been arrested multiple times during riots and protests. A known Antifa/381 Movement member, he was arrested as recently as August 17, 2020, trying to pull down the Silent Sam statue.

Broadhead has a Podcast named “The Final Straw Program” where, like others, the full Anti-Fascist/Marxist ideology is on full display.

Serving in the YGP with Broadhead was Christopher Joseph Helali originally from Worcester, Massachusetts.

Christopher Helali is an American ethnic Kurd and Kurdish activist who has worked for the past few years with the Kurdish Liberation Movement. Christopher spent 2016 in Greece, working with Kurdish refugees from Syria, Iraq, Turkey and Iran in Anarchist squats as well as in the historic Lavrio camp outside of Athens. In January of 2017, Christopher traveled to Southern Kurdistan (KRG) in Northern Iraq where he spent time with the guerrillas of the PKK in the mountains and then crossed over into Rojava (Western Kurdistan), now known as the Democratic Federation of Northern Syria. Christopher was a member of the YPG for 9 months and returned from the region in September of 2017.

Now living in Vershire, Helali a member of the The Party of Communists USA (PCUSA), is a candidate for Vermont’s at-large congressional district in 2020. This is the first time in 36 years since Marxist activists Gus Hall and Angela Davis ran for U.S. President and Vice President respectively.

Christopher Helali of Vershire announced on Aug. 3 that he will run for Vermont U.S. Representative as a Communist.

We are continuing to compile and track these Mercenaries. There are many Westerners who have joined the YGP with numbers that range from 300 to 1,000. Not all have made it back home, and just like ISIS and other Jihadi’s, they are considered Martyrs of the Lions of Rojava Resistance.
