AntiFA Terrorism / Narco Communism
- Thread starter GURPS
- Start date
Former Washington state Democrat organizer federally convicted over terrorist attack on railroad
Following the initial shunting incidents on Jan. 19, 2020, a claim of responsibility for railway attacks in the Pacific Northwest earlier in the year was published on the anarchist website itsgoingdown.org on Jan. 22, 2020, according to the criminal affidavit's naming of the extreme Antifa site.
Reiche was parked nearby at the time of the duo's arrest, and the pair's vehicle had a sticker with the text "INDIGENOUS LAND" over a map of the entire United States. The extremist site said in a post that the direct actions were carried out in solidarity with Native American tribes in Canada, seeking to "fight against colonial invasion" with the building of the Coastal GasLink Pipeline project in British Columbia, Canada. It called for others to carry out more attacks with the express goal of disrupting BNSF operations and supplies for the pipeline.
Reiche and Brooks scrubbed much of their online presence, but some remaining clues provided insight into the former. Reiche identifies as "non-binary" and uses "they/them" pronouns and was the deputy field organizer for Washington State Democrats, according to their now-deleted LinkedIn profile. Reiche is a radical queer and environmental activist who co-founded the Bellingham Lesbian Collective and co-hosted on "The L World" lesbian-themed podcast.
But Alt Right is the problem
