Attempt To Disqualify DA In Antifa Conspiracy Due To Her Conservatism (Failed)

A motion has been filed in the first-ever, Antifa conspiracy case to disqualify the San Diego District Attorney, Summer Stephan, from prosecuting the trial because during her campaign she expressed conservative political and pro-law-enforcement views. Her views have been deemed hostile to the violent, anarcho-communist ideology of Antifa. Therefore, she is accused of being unable to fairly prosecute Antifa members, who conspire to commit violent crimes intended to suppress the free speech of others. This motion may be considered at an upcoming hearing on November 17th by Judge Daniel Goldstein. If this concept were accepted widely it would seem that only progressive Democrats could be allowed to try BLM and Antifa defendants.

UPDATE: This motion failed.

Twelve antifa have been charged with conspiracy to riot and other crimes. Seven of them have already pled guilty. One has been sentenced to nearly 5 years in prison. The intention was to disrupt a pro-Trump rally on January 9th, 2021 in Pacific Beach, a neighborhood in San Diego, just three days after the J6 event at the Capitol building.

First of all, pointing the finger at the crimes of someone else does not excuse a person from their own crimes. In the article below by KBPS, the writer summarizes the complaints in the motion to disqualify. He refers to elements that he claims are white supremacists and fascists and crimes that some have supposedly committed. This Leftist conspiracy theory holds that those on the Left are being prosecuted in San Diego, while others on the Right get off free. I can tell you from personal experience that’s not true.

Examples given in the KPBs article below as unpunished crimes the Right has committed are the following. One person giving a Nazi salute, another brandishing a knife and others assaulting Leftists. Giving a Nazi salute is not a crime and you don’t know whether it reflects the person’s own belief or whether he did it in sarcasm because they say Antifa are the real fascists.

Brandishing a knife and minor assaults are misdemeanors. Under current California law, a misdemeanor has to be witnessed directly by the police to be prosecutable, even if there is video. On the other hand, these Antifa defendants are charged with felony conspiracy.

Why BLM/Antifa Attract Attention Of Law Enforcement

If radical, revolutionary, far-left groups are getting more scrutiny from the DA and the police in San Diego than groups on the Right it may just be because they tried to burn down the La Mesa Police station in San Diego County. Here they chant in front of the San Diego Police Station that all police stations should be burned to the ground. That kind of thing somehow tends to get the attention of the police. Yet, if the DA and police act or even call it a “threat”, somehow they must be incurably “biased”.

Jonah Bigel was among the Antifa rioters on J6 — though he was not charged in the conspiracy. One of his actions on another day was apparently an attempt to burn down a San Diego Police Storefront office.

Antifa traces their roots back to the pre-WWII Antifa street fighters against Nazis and they use similar symbolism. But anyone who knows a little about that history knows that Antifa of that time were not just “anti-fascist”, they were violent, revolutionary communists, not really much different in their violent tactics than Nazis.

Text Of The Frivolous Motion To Disqualify

Below is the 243-page Motion to Disqualify, which is full of misleading information and falsehoods, but in “progressive”, communist-friendly California it may very well succeed.

Previous Disqualification in BLM Case

There is an earlier case, in which a DA was disqualified in the prosecution of BLM organizers. This happened in San Luis Obispo, Ca. In this earlier case 300 BLM protesters shut down a major freeway and vandalized some of the cars as well as put drivers at risk of being injured in accidents. It was claimed that the DA was biased, because of things his wife and other associates said, not him. See quote from the first article below:

The trial court found that a campaign email from Wendy Dow, wife of the DA, which made references to “crazy protest activity” and “the wacky defund the police movement and anarchist groups,” “established a disqualifying conflict of interest on the part of District Attorney Dow and his entire office.”

The court also found that District Attorney Dow had “associated with two media personalities who were critical of BLM and that he had participated in a Facebook group in which some members had posted statements that disparaged BLM.”

Party For Socialism And Liberation, San Diego’s Communist Party

The Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) is a national, communist party with a chapter in San Diego. Locally, they do not generally declare it explicitly in public but are fairly open about their political extremism on the website and at more private events. While there are a number of other groups in San Diego that follow a communistic ideology, the PSL is probably the most open about it.


Relationship with International Communism

Two of their central committee members during a visto to the Turkish communist party said it very explicitly in an interview with the International Communist Press (ICP), which was posted on the ICP website. Click here to see the original article. One paragraph from the interview is shown below:


LOCAL Activities in San Diego

PSL Communists have been running for office, speaking out at government meetings of local government and participating in protests.

Antifa and the PSL communists are natural allies. In this video, a small group of Proud Boys meetup with a similar group of PSL communists wearing their signature red and white shirts with several antifa. This happened at an anti-Trump protest in 2017. Antifa is an anarcho-communist movement, as described in Andy Ngo’s book, “Unmasked” and numerous other sources.

The taller antifa with a bushy beard in dark clothes with a dark green ski cap is Jesse Cannon, aka “Tall Can”. Jesse is the lead of the antifa cell in San Diego. At the time of his writing, he is being prosecuted with a number of other Antifa for felony conspiracy to riot. The video just shows that the PSL works readily with other local communistic groups and fellow travelers, including Progressives.

The local PSL supported three candidates for office in 2022, shown below, Marco Amaral for the California state Superintendent of public schools, Jose Cortez for US Congress and Steven Estrada for the City Council of Long Beach.

Marco Amaral – Communist For CA State Superintendent of Public Instruction

In this video, several of the PSL members in San Diego speak out for the right of biological male transgenders to use women’s restroom and showering facilities. I do not mean to imply that these were the only communists at these events. They are just the ones that were most easy to identify in the videos.


Watch on Bitchute

In California and probably several other states, this is completely legal, even exposing his genitals if the person still has his male sex organs, unless the transgender is already registered as a sex offender. Of course, most who have in the past or will in the future commit sexual crimes, have not yet been caught, prosecuted and convicted. So, most perverts will not be on the registry and will still be able to use women’s facilities if they just claim to identify as a woman.

Communists have also for many decades often called themselves “Progressives” to avoid the stigma associated with communism. Progressivism is a utopian ideology that is philosophically related to communism. The concept of both ideologies is to use the government to create a utopian “perfect” society and a perfect world. In fact, that was the Nazi/Fascist concept, also. They just have different ideas about what a perfect society is.

Click the image below to expand and see the details. The image of the woman on the left of the revolutionary banner has a copy of the Communist Manifesto tucked under her arm and a plant that from afar appears to be a bomb with a lite fuse. That shows plain enough what their beliefs are.

DA Prosecutes Patriot For Defending Yorba Linda From BLM/Antifa

Kris Wyrick, prosecuted for helping defend Yorba Linda
A Black Lives Matter Organizer was angry and frustrated because she was outnumbered by patriot defending Yorba Linda from their anticipated potential violence, looting and arson. She tried to kill some patriots by running over them in her car and was charged with attempted murder.

A little later at the same event, Kris Wyrick with others were escorting the BLM/Antifa “protesters” out of the area. Patriot Wyrick, was trying to prevent any altercation and he actually broke up a violent brawl as they escorted them. Yet, he is also being prosecuted for felony use of bear spray to disperse the brawlers. The last part of the video below is video taken by Wyrick and shows the incident, for which he has been charged. Two people were about to “stun” Wyrick before he started spraying.

Patriot Prosecuted For Defending Yorba Linda Against BLM / Antifa

Watch on Bitchute

It just seems that maybe the District Attorney felt obligated to prosecute a patriot, too, for reasons of political correctness. Many people were pepper-sprayed and otherwise physically attacked that day, yet Wyrick, a leader of the defenders, was singled out for felony prosecution by the District Attorney of Orange County, California, Todd Spitzer (Contact info can be found at bottom of the DA’s website by clicking here.).

Spitzer ran on a promise to improve public safety, but is prosecuting a person, who was trying to keep Yorba Linda safe from physical attacks, arson and vandalism that day.

This protest was in September, 2020, but the case has been delayed due to Covid and the trial has not yet taken place at the time of this posting. It is not too late to contact DA Todd Spitzer and let him know how you feel.


How Black Lives Matter / Antifa Burned Down La Mesa

After the George Floyd incident, some in the BLM movement said they were going to go into “white neighborhoods” and burn them down this time, in contrast to the burning of black neighborhoods in Ferguson and LA riots. Just a few weeks before the Yorba Linda event, BLM and antifa radicals launched an attack on a similar suburb of San Diego, La Mesa.

Watch on Bitchute

Both Yorba Linda and La Mesa are majority white. These attacks by BLM and Antifa were racially motivated against whites. They intended to punish white people collectively for what happened to George Floyd. Kris Wyrick was also active in the defense of La Mesa and Santee in San Diego County, leading one of the groups of defenders in La Mesa, as he did also in Yorba Linda.

Naturally, after the burning of La Mesa, local residents and patriots were concerned whether Black Lives Matter and Antifa had an arson attack planned for Yorba Linda. They tried to burn down the Police Station and City Hall in La Mesa. The police prevented them from burning down City property, but the extremists succeeded in burning to the ground three of the most important commercial buildings in La Mesa, Chase Bank, Union Bank and the unreplaceable, historic Randall Lamb building. See the video below.

The Nixon Library is in Yorba Linda only about half a mile from the Black Lives Matter / Antifa staging area. If unopposed, they could have easily marched on the Nixon library and burned that down, like they burned Downtown La Mesa. The police did not stop the arson attack in La Mesa. Patriots helped the police prevent the BLM/antifa arsonists from vandalizing and burning more buildings in successive events in La Mesa and nearby Santee.

Patriots disrupted their activities in Yorba Linda that day. At least one of them, Kris Wyrick, is being singled out for punishment by District Attorney Todd Spitzer for helping to defend Yorba Linda.

BLM Organizer Threatens La Mesa With Arson Attack … Then It Happens

Tasha Williamson is a lead organizer for Black Lives Matter in San Diego County. After a policemen arrested a young black man in La Mesa she threatened that there would be violence in La Mesa and throughout San Diego County, unless her demands were met. A few hours later it began to happen as she threatened that it would. There was a riot and arson attack in La Mesa. There major buildings were burned to the ground, dozens of stores were looted. They tried to burn down the police station and city hall.

SIDENOTE: Please do not threaten Tasha Williamson with physical harm or harass her. The purpose of this post is to inform, not to incite. She raises money from any such behavior directed at her. So, if you do that, you will just be helping her raise a lot more money and convince more people to support her.

In this video, Tasha warns that violence will spread all over the County if their demands are not meet. The riot and arson attack in La Mesa started just a few hours later.

You have to listen carefully, but in this first video below Tasha Williamson justifies the violence in La Mesa on May 30, 2020, because it forced the City government to listen to their demands. They burned down La Mesa in order to punish an innocent police officer. At about 2:25 she says, “You have to understand what it took to get here today and that level of violence was what it took to get here today.”

At about 4:39, she says, “We should already see justice and we don’t and until we do we will continue to see what we got over the weekend.” (BLM and antifa burned downtown La Mesa and tried to burn down City Hall and the police station over the previous weekend.

The most important immediate demand was for La Mesa to fire and make charges against Matt Dages, a La Mesa police officer, who arrested a black man, Amaurie Johnson, a few days before the attack on La Mesa. The arrest was used to justify the attack. For more background on this situation go to this link.

Police Officer Scapegoated for BLM Riot, Fights Back

Black Lives Matter organizer, Tasha Williamson, live-streams at 8:50 PM to her followers that the “revolution has started”. According to the police timeline, the reports of looting of the Vons stores started at 9:12 PM. A little more than two hours later, at 11.11 PM Chase bank was reported to be on fire and the other two buildings were torched only minutes thereafter. This live-stream by Tasha Williamson could have been a green-light to start the ransacking of businesses and the following arson attack on La Mesa. Williamson was on site to view it when the burning of the banks started.

Under pressure from BLM, Dages was falsely charged and prosecuted for a felony of filing a false police report, but on December 10 2021 he was found “not guilty”. There were no substantive inaccuracies in his report.

Tasha Williamson has a history of threatening city governments with violence, in order to get what she wants. Two years earlier Tasha Williamson threatened to burn down National City, another suburb of San Diego if they did not fire their police chief. She declared that she would show up with 10,000 people at the next Council Meeting and that the town would look like Ferguson when they are done.

The family of Earl McNeil received a settlement of $300K from National City. See this link for a description of what happened to Earl McNeil. The case was much like George Floyd’s, he was on drugs and died in a hospital after being restrained by the police.

National City OKs $300K Settlement With Earl McNeil’s Family

In the end, I do not believe that Tasha Williams directly orders the mob attacks. She just gives green light for it. It more likely antifa and the more radical BLM members that do the dirty work, only indirectly in coordination with Williamson. She acts as the frontwoman with the government entity to make demands and threatens them with more violence from other organizers if they do not comply.

Police Officer Scapegoated for BLM Riot, Fights Back

Great Americans
Officer Dages and wife, Christina
Just two days after George Floyd’s death, what should have been a minor incident involving police officer, Matthew Dages, was exploited by Black Lives Matter and antifa to justify the riots and fire bombing of La Mesa on May 30, 2019. Dages was doxxed on the Internet, received death threats and large crowds gathered at his home under the guise of protesting, but actually to terrorize his family.

In what should be considered a domestic terrorist attack, BLM and antifa firebombed downtown La Mesa, burning the three most prominent buildings to the ground, two banks and an irreplaceable, historic building owned by an architectural firm. The anarchists also set a fire to burn down City Hall and the Police Station, but the fire petered out. Dozens of businesses were vandalized and looted.

There was a consortium of law-enforcement agencies, including the FBI, investigating this attack on La Mesa. The three commercial buildings burned so quickly and completely that it appeared to be a professional arson, but they never got to the bottom of who burned down these three buildings to prosecute the ringleaders. At least one insider said that it was a professional arson. However, to appease BLM/antifa they are prosecuting this policeman for a felony, who was just trying to do his job and had to deal with a belligerent person who felt entitled to defy police officers.


UPDATE: The jury returned a verdict of “not guilty” on 12/10/2021. BLM and antifa failed in their attempt to have this policeman convicted of a trumped-up charge of filing a fake report on Amaurie Johnson.


Amaurie Johnson
Dages was scapegoated by La Mesa city officials and La Mesa Police Department. La Mesa city government refused to stand up to ringleaders of the mob. They tried to bribe Matt Dages with a large, six-figure payment, if he would just leave and get them off the hook. Dages refused the bribe and decided to defend himself. He lost his job and was charged with a felony, due to intimidation by the violent BLM/antifa mob, but also because some members of La Mesa City government are leftists and actually support the terroristic tactics of BLM/antifa and demanded that the San Diego County district attorney prosecute the officer.

District Attorney, Summer Stephan is prosecuting this officer in what amounts to a political show trial to appease BLM/antifa terrorists, who threatened to attack La Mesa again and other cities throughout the County if their demands to scapegoat and punish Officer Dages were not met.

If any mistakes were made in this arrest, something like this would have normally been handled via the administrative process or even in civil court, not by filing felony charges on the officer. The felony charge is just a result of government officials bowing to political pressure and implied or explicit terroristic threats from BLM. DA Summer Stephan used the felony charge as the easy way out of a bad situation for her. Rewarding arsonists, looters and terrorists for their crimes will just mean you get more of he same in the future.

BLM/antifa justified the riot (attack) in La Mesa with this minor police encounter. BLM had planned to riot in San Diego on that day, until this event happened. However, La Mesa is a easier target with a small, suburban police force and a majority white, liberal population. After the George Floyd death, BLM had promised to take their riots to the white suburbs. La Mesa was the perfect opportunity, with a very leftist City Council and situated on a rail line that was convenient transportation for rioters, looters and arsonists, who flooded into town that night using the trolley system.

Some think that the incident with Officer Dages arresting Amaurie Johnson was a setup, planned to provoke a police officer in order to justify an attack on La Mesa. Amaurie’s friends were on the spot in about 30 seconds to take video that went viral and led to the riot and arson attack on La Mesa. An attorney was also already on site within a few feet also taking video and shouting legal advice to Amaurie. Even if it was only a chance occurrence, BLM and antifa certainly took full advantage of it.

All of San Diego should be supporting him and his family in clearing his good name as a police officer. See the videos below.

Christina Dages makes the point in the above video that they would not try to bribe them to leave if Officer Dages had done anything wrong. People will often fight like hell if they feel they have been wronged in an outrageous way. That is exactly what Dages and his wife are doing. They are fighting this injustice tooth and nail.

Background videos, the BLM/antifa attack on La Mesa

This is a response by the police to to an incident where a rioting woman, Leslie Furcron, was accidentally shot in the head with a beanbag several hours after the event was declared an unlawful assembly. Furcron, a grandmother, did not fail to disperse, she rushed to the site after she saw from a livestream that it had become a riot, in order to join the riot and see them burn down the police station.

The Mayor of La Mesa called it an concerted attack and an effort to burn the city to the ground. They tried, but failed, to burn down the City Hall and the Police Station. They also attacked policemen with deadly weapons, large rocks.

This is a video of the main organizer of Black Lives Matter in San Diego, Tasha Williamson, with an entourage of other radicals, observing buildings in Downtown La Mesa being torched and burned to the ground by BLM/antifa supporters.

Tasha Williams issued a slightly veiled threat that violence and destruction will spread to the entire County if Matt Dages is not fired. Later, they added the demand that Dages be prosecuted. This prediction of violence was issued in front of Matt Dages home just a couple hours before the looting, vandalism and arson began in La Mesa, which did tremendous damage as seen in the previous video.

It just seems that BLM and their antifa allies terrorized La Mesa and County officials to the extent that they unjustly had Officer Dages prosecuted, due to threat of retaliation from the mob of arsonists and vandals if they refused.

The last part of this video above is Tasha Williamson in 2018 threatening to burn down nearby National City if they did not fire their Chief of Police. She never made good on that threat, but La Mesa was actually burned down.
