It looks like the video has been removed by YT and vimeo; it must have struck a nerve. It's still up on Bitchute:

"Antifa _ Rise of the Black Flags": I've only watched the first fifteen minutes of this video so far, and already I can't help questioning its usefulness. [I've since watched the whole thing, as per below.*] Any researcher that starts off with the idea that those in power
do not understand in this case the Antifa movement, are already exposing their hand. Remember, the talking points are set: those of the main stream media, including major newspapers, social media platforms, liberal online news and cultural outlets, as well as the Democratic party (although it's not confined to only dems).
That is to say, the media's virtual black out on Antifa, except to refer to it as an "idea" (as opposed to a radical movement), is integral to this coordinated effort tied to Deep State factions. The media's role in this psyop is a deliberate "gas lighting" whereby those of us who SEE what's going on are blithely being told: no, you are mistaken, it is NOT going on. This at times infuriating "thumbing their noses" at us is meant to confuse and demoralize us for refusing to submit to their program. And it's effective. I mean, I sometimes get knots in my stomach just trying to in some way digest all this lunacy on a day to day basis. So, it is wearing, and wearying, just as it is intended to be.
Is it as much as half the United States population [?] who appear to be satisfied that there is "nothing to see here"? Even if it's a bit less than that, the enormous success of this gas lighting maneuver shouldn't be underestimated. Seasoned journalists are willing to put their entire careers on the line in parroting these manufactured talking points because they know their jobs and careers are at stake. Most of them no doubt also understand how crucial it is to the liberal faction's holding on to power. And perhaps they've even convinced themselves that they are in the right.
When assessing these types of operations my mind often goes back to what happened in the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing (of 1995). What researchers at that time were able to reveal was how local news coverage could be successfully suppressed once the story became syndicated (i.e., had gone national). That is to say, the local news media's footage of bombs being removed from the basement of the federal building where the bombing occurred (footage recovered by independent journalists) belied the mainstream coverage indicating by omission that such bomb retrieval "never happened." Aside from the anti-terrorist legislation passed by President Clinton in the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing (I don't recall the details except for its substantially increasing government control), but aside from that I believe that part of the operation was to test and perfect the major role that media plays in these psyops -- especially given the Deep State was in the planning stages of 9/ll.
But back to the first fifteen minutes of the Antifa video: when the black historian questioned the motives of Antifa for sometimes standing side by side with BLM WITHOUT his questioning the nefarious origins and leadership of BLM itself -- well, at that point in the video I was tempted to stop watching. There is just too much wrong with this picture. Having said that, Trump thinks this video is useful enough to tweet -- perhaps because of its exposing Antifa's radical roots and intentions. But for anyone who wants serious answers as to how all this works, and what we are up against if American citizens want to preserve (or return to) any kind of a free, sovereign nation, far better to get a grip on the workings of the shadow government itself.
Before touching on that, I did just watch the rest of the Antifa video. I thought the brief history of Antifa was the most compelling part, along with tying its ideology to Mao's Communist (& Cultural) Revolution with some wonderful documentary footage. Having said that, there was no mention at all of how U.S. intelligence (among others) fosters and utilizes such radical groups -- although, tacitly it does in mentioning the NGO's, the tech companies, and other organizations involved. Still, to me, the problem is one of emphasis. Antifa presently has the power it does because they are being granted that power -- we see it right in front of our eyes: the Democrats, the media, and possibly even Trump, either deliberately, or in a gamble that he will prevail during his next term, or even in the potentially turbulent days ahead. But to discuss Antifa as if it were functioning on its own, as much of this documentary slides into doing, is problematic to say the least.
I recommend viewing (as I plan to do) the various interviews "the Dark Journalist," Daniel Liszt, has had with Catherine Austin Fitts, maybe starting with her explaining of FASAB 56. (Liszt's investigative work on "the UFO file" in his X Series is also fascinating -- I highly recommend listening to this at times enthralling series -- and it does relate to the government's recent prepping us with UFO declassification.)
Back on Fitts, she has an interesting history. As is the case with many people who fight the system, she doesn't always come with good reviews, depending on what sources you use. FYI, Fitts was Assistant Secretary of Housing at HUD (the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) under President George H.W. Bush.
Here is a (fairly lengthy) foray into her history -- her successes, and her being targeted for those successes given her refusal to be a "go along." I've only just scanned this so far:
Enemy of the State: The Catherine Fitts Story
Catherine Austin Fitts is still trying to figure out what happened. Her company, Hamilton Securities, Inc., was the lead financial advisor to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Hamilton was hired to manage the sales of $10 ...

As for FASAB 56, here's a description from Fitts' website, and present life's work, Solari Report.com:
"The Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board (FASAB) has released Statement of Federal Financial Accounting Standards 56 (Standard 56), taking government accounting practices from laxly enforced reporting standards to a new benchmark entirely -- expressly approved obfuscation of reporting and, in some cases, outright concealing financials."
As per this agreement, fiscal accounting at all U.S. government agencies are permitted to "go dark" (meaning there is no official record of such spending, and therefore the government is legitimately free to pursue any and all ends without anything on the books). This 2018 agreement was quietly signed on to by supposedly feuding parties -- Trump, Pelosi, Schumer among them -- while the public was focused on the controversy surrounding the Kavanaugh hearing. Trump's involvement could be interpreted in varying ways, no doubt. Was he a willing participant? Or was he being threatened in some way? I just thought of Kennedy's relinquishing his vice president of choice, Adlai Stevenson, given his candidacy was threatened with ruination by enemy factions among the press -- this as per Luarent Guyenot's "From Yahweh to Zion." On the other hand, did Trump welcome such lack of transparency? But if so, it certainly goes against his candid seeming public persona. And this clandestine conducting of this sort of business with those who are supposed to be his arch enemies is also a pretty tough pill to swallow. So, what are we to make of all this?
*Back on the video, "Antifa _ Rise of the Black Flags": Mark Bray the author of "The Anti-Fascist Handbook" is the most lack-luster, uninformed individual to assume any kind of authority that I've seen in... well, it's actually not been all that long since most of the mouth pieces involved in BLM, Antifa, etc. have shown themselves to be just as pathetic. In any case, if you are going to destroy innocent, hard working American's small businesses in the name of anti-fascism, and you don't even have a working definition of fascism [which, strictly speaking, comes from Mussolini's movement], and you also don't have any apparent understanding of how democracy in the United States is set up to work, but you -- without any of these qualifications -- propose "grinding the country to a halt" by "breaking *hit," well, then... it's bewildering to even know how to respond.
Did this Bray person offer a cross analysis of Trump's legislative actions vs. those of Obama, say? Did he conduct a comparative analysis of their foreign policy actions? No. Of course not. That would be tedious and too "adult." It also wouldn't proffer the lazy "Trump is a fascist" narrative that they care to propagate. What we see instead is a no doubt upper middle class, radical left indoctrinated, listless individual directing his army of other lost peeps to do one of the laziest things any human being could possibly think to do: scream and break *hit. I think that an interview with this person asking him some hard hitting questions would have been preferable to just letting him have his say, but that was not at all the approach of this documentary, unfortunately.
In any event, we know the shadow government functions in multi-faceted ways, instigating knee-jerk civil unrest in colleges and universities, while coordinating talking points for media outlets, and targeting any and all politicians who don't follow the program. Just how all this works is the subject of real investigative journalism. And while this doc has some of the pieces, I feel it lacks the necessary overview necessary to coherently break things down. But it's certainly a start. As I recall, the independent researcher Millennial Millie seems to have more behind the scenes facts to offer in this arena. I just wish she weren't tied to Alex Jones, which tends to give me pause.
Speaking of the shadow government... perhaps, as Catherine Austin Fitts proposes, all of this [over the top] partisanship is really just a distraction. After all, if most Americans knew of the "missing trillions" from their own tax-payer funded government coffers (something Fitts has been tracking for years) -- and she has that figure up around 50 trillion now (yes: you heard me: 50 TRILLION) -- it would certainly change the public conversation. After all, money talks, as the saying goes -- and even deluded liberals might do a double take with the understanding that their elected officials are deeply involved in this very dark ruse being conducted at taxpayer expense. Think of it this way: average, hard working Americans are footing the bill for all these nefarious black operations, many of which are directed at THEM on American soil. What would happen, one wonders, if this were publicly acknowledged? And, Fitts assures us, there is a way to get these trillions back, although I'd have to reacquaint myself with some of that material again to say more.
Fitts still believes in the importance of electing Trump, by the way, in spite of her severe criticism of his actions -- including his shutting down the country. For Fitts, even understanding all the "excuses" Trump had for shutting things down, the truth is its own mandate. Yes, according to Fitts, he should have stuck with the truth, in spite of repercussions. For, what we are instead left with (as I mentioned before on this thread) is the transfer of 44% of the U.S. economy -- formerly in the hands of small businesses across the nation -- to the private equity class on Wall Street, all under Trump's watch. She also believes he should have stopped the rioting without delay. (There is that presidential action he could have invoked, I'm forgetting the name now, last used by LBJ to deal with all the rioting he was faced with.) Related to this, Fitts mapped out the areas targeted for destruction in Portland, just as an example. I'm not sure these were "opportunity zones" (although she does bring that up as a possibility), but these are attractive areas for re-development on a big scale -- leaving out the original small business owners, of course. (And this would no doubt be true of the other urban areas BLM and Antifa have targeted.) So, is Trump passively on board with all that? Is he openly detesting these Antifa thugs hell bent on destruction, while benignly allowing big business to swoop in?
I don't know that I necessarily agree with all of Fitts' assessments of Trump. I'm somewhat on the fence, I guess. One does see the difficult position he is in. For example, he no doubt feared the initial estimates of 2 million American deaths were he not to take immediate action to shut down the country. Or did he know better even then? In any event, the economic re-set we are currently in the midst of (FYI, most Americans are unaware that the Federal Reserve continues to print untold--is it trillions?) is not at all benefiting all these small businesses that are going under, although Trump suggests he's pushing all that to after the election. But for now, unlike Trump's assertions to the contrary, by many estimates, the worst is yet to come (for those left without a piece of the economic pie).
So... whatever happens today: I recommend we follow the money. Doing so tends to expose a good deal of the smoke and mirrors being employed. Oh, and the "fur balls" (as in two cats fighting and together creating a visual ball of fur). This is Fitts' term for those compelling distractions [i.e., the Kavanaugh hearing] intended to suck up all of our attention so that we miss the big poker game that's in a sense playing us.
Anyway, I'm here holding my breath... haven't even checked any news sources... as we approach this election's outcome.
