Project Veritas Releases Undercover Antifa Video, Member Talks Eye Gouging & 'Destroying' the 'Enemy'

The most peculiar — and chilling — thing about newly released video clips of left-wing extremist group antifa’s training sessions is its mix of terrorist training techniques and new-hire presentation.
President Donald Trump recently announced the U.S. would designate antifa as a terrorist organization because of its violent and brutal tactics, and judging from footage obtained by an undercover journalist through Project Veritas, the president was exactly right.
The journalist for the conservative nonprofit known for its investigative journalism and explosive undercover footage posed as a new recruit to infiltrate Oregon’s Rose City antifa group in Portland.
Project Veritas compiled the footage into a YouTube video posted Thursday with the title, “Project Veritas INFILTRATES ANTIFA: ‘Practice things like an eye gouge…injure someone’s eyes.'”
The organization did not explain when the video was produced or when the infiltrated meetings took place, but the footage is nevertheless disturbing.
WARNING: The following video contains graphic language that some viewers will find offensive.
The journalist’s identity in the video is obscured by a black hoodie, face mask and sunglasses. He said that if members found him out, “it could escalate to violence against me.”
And what an antifa member identified as Nicholas Cifuni said in the next clip completely legitimized the undercover journalist’s concern.
“Don’t be that f—ing guy with the g–d— spiked brass knuckles getting photos taken of you,” Cifuni said.
“Police are going to be like ‘perfect we can prosecute these f—ers look how violent they are,’ right, not that we’re not, but we need to f—ing hide that s—.”
Antifa, which gets its name from its so-called “anti-fascism” stance and is comprised of loosely related but largely independent factions, has been implicated in violent protests in the United States and abroad.
The organization may also have had a role in the recent civil unrest that began after a black man named George Floyd died after a white police officer placed a knee on his neck for several minutes.
Furthermore, a report has suggested antifa was possibly planning anti-government protests as far back as November, long before the May 25 incident even occurred.
Even if the connection isn’t explicit, the similar tactics by individuals dressed in “black block,” which the undercover journalist described as uniform dark clothing so no one individual could be identified during their skirmishes, gives them away.
Besides their tactics, the group targets right-wing speakers, police officers and Trump supporters on campuses across the country, according to Campus Reform.
Poster Comment:
In the movie Saving Private Ryan there is a scene where a German sniper shoots one of the G.I.s. The anti-sniper sniper with the G.I.s worms his way around and under cover of a rain poncho zeroes in on the German sniper. He shot him in the eye right up the scope.
