In case you forgot who Bray is:

Another figure who emerges formed from the clam shell riding on the waves at college with no prior history. Why can't we find out who this person is before a certain age, or at least I couldn't from common source. Another Intel legend? If so, they seem to like to insert them into a pliable academia.

Antifa goes with Soros like a horse and carriage (MI6 and City of London subverting the Republic), so as an Intel synth he seems to fit.

Never heard of him before.

The hypocrisy of "Antifa" is so extreme as to be comical. They are the ones violently attacking non-violent people for their political beliefs.

You shouldn't know him. Can't beat this horse anymore dead. Get out of cities. It's going to get bad in 2027-2028. If Dems lose the midterms in 2026 it's going to be riotopia for 2 years. I'm being serious when I say move out of 100k+ plus population suburbs and cities. If Kenosha, WI of all places can burn, your neighborhood/city is coming.

Reuters ran a mysterious, inconclusive, and highly suggestive story yesterday headlined, “Rutgers Expert on Antifa Tries to Flee to Spain After Death Threats.” The sub-headline clarified that, “Mark Bray was teaching courses on antifascism. Turning Point USA accused him of belonging to antifa. His flight to Spain was canceled abruptly on Wednesday night.”




Often described by his critics as “Dr. Antifa,” Rutgers assistant professor Mark Bray cultivates an aura of radical chic with his black T-shirt and leftist bookshelf aesthetic, projecting the self-assured certainty of an intellectual whose activism rarely faces real-world consequence. Until recently.

Bray’s 2017 book, Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook, is a veritable manifesto for anti-conservative and anti-police activism, touting the legitimacy —if not the necessity— of violence to oppose political adversaries broadly labeled as “fascists.”

Bray claims to donate half his book’s profits to the International Anti-Fascist Defense Fund. Remember that, it will be important later.

In The Anti-Fascist Handbook, Bray plainly advised that “anti-fascists don’t wait for a fascist threat to become violent before acting to shut it down, physically if necessary.” In fact, the first sentence in his book states, “Fascism is not to be debated, it is to be destroyed.” Later, he gushed that “Violence remains a tactical question, not a moral absolute… removing it entirely from the ‘toolbox’ of resistance may prove too late when facing genuine fascism.”

Throughout the book, Bray admitted he was “reluctant to define genuine fascism” because he sees it as a “moving target.” If you’re reading this post, it’s likely that Bray would consider you a fascist, too. Professor Bray argued that it is “strategically dangerous” to wait for ‘textbook versions’ of Hitler or Mussolini, and instead encourages all anti-fascists to act against any threat that they personally perceive as dangerous or oppressive.

“Fascism,” Professor Bray wrote, “is a moral signifier” rather than any particular political position. In other words, there’s no test, per se. It’s purely subjective, and each little anti-fascist can decide for themselves who needs to be destroyed rather than debated.

From the standpoint of constitutional principles, classical liberalism, and mainstream Western political philosophy, Professor Bray’s advocacy for militant, preemptive violence based on subjective definitions of “fascism” is not a legitimate policy, a sound moral justification, or a defensible philosophical stance for any free society. Bray is a reprehensible lunatic and all right-thinking people should shun him, at least.

Reuter’s article did not quote Bray’s book, of course.

Now you understand why conservative groups like Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA have labeled Bray “an outspoken, well-known antifa member” and demanded his firing, with some likening his presence on campus to Rutgers hosting a taxpayer-funded extremist. Bray is listed on TPUSA’s “professor watchlist.”

Anyway, following Charlie Kirk’s murder and Trump’s executive order designating Antifa as a terror group (at that time, without calling it a foreign terror group), Professor Bray began playing the victim, loudly complaining in a very cowardly fashion about receiving loads of death threats. Ironic.

I cannot find a single published example of any death threat, any arrest for making of death threats, or even any report of an investigation into any death threat against Bray. I doubt they exist. It’s not threats that Bray is really worried about.

But Bray told his students that, for his and his family’s “safety,” he was immediately moving to Spain and would finish the fall semester remotely. Not to avoid prosecution, no. He was getting out of Dodge from fear of political violence, which Professor Bray has long okayed whenever it is aimed at anyone rightwards of the far left. (Rutgers offered Bray security, but he declined.)

When the Bray family reached the gate at Newark Liberty International Airport last night, after getting their boarding passes, checking their bags, and going though security, he was then told by the airline that “the reservation was just canceled.” Whoops.

Dr. Bray said the airline rebooked them on another flight for Thursday (today). He told Reuters that he was hoping for the best. But. “I may sound conspiratorial, but I don’t think it is a coincidence,” he said. “We’re at a hotel and we’re just going to try again.” We’ll see. Hopefully.

Taken by itself, the article was super silly. At bottom, it’s just about a randomly canceled flight that Bray had organized at the last minute. There’s literally no evidence anyone stopped Bray from leaving. It’s just his conspiracy theory, thoughts swirling in his frantic brain, which Reuters happily boosted into “news” because Reuters likes his theory, as opposed to not reporting the theories of moms who believe their infants were injured by vaccines, say. But I digress.

Reuters was too chicken to draw the obvious line. But Mark Bray knows he sits squarely in the DOJ crosshairs of any prosecution of “material support” for a foreign terrorist organization —like donating his book proceeds to the International Antifa Defense Fund— if in fact Antifa officially becomes a foreign terror group.

And if Governor DeSantis had organized yesterday’s roundtable, I’d bet a pallet of PPE that’s exactly what he was just about to do.
