Malkin was understandably distraught at this unanticipated violent turn of events and expressed frustration that Denver police, who were visibly present in the area, did nothing to stop the attacks or to allow the peaceful pro-police rally to continue.
Source of the above quotation: Chowka, Peter Barry. “Michelle Malkin beaten by BLM thugs and prevented from speaking at Denver pro-police rally, American Thinker, July 20, 2020.
I would question the motives of police — witnessing an apparent BLM attack on anyone — for failing to intervene and arrest.
Anyone can put on a t-shirt.
Anyone doing violence to another can be stopped by superior force if present.
The police were present during Malkin’s beating.
How could the police have not responded?
Thank Putin for setting a bad example.
All available evidence points to Putin’s complicity in the 1999 apartment-building bombings in Russia. Those who have tried to investigate have been killed off, one by one.

The method referred to as “False Flag Operation“ involves a particularly vicious form of “gaslighting“ that spy novelists might include in the term “Theater of the Real” (an act of deception — a piece of theater — inserted into a very real situation) — they are acts designed by the power of the state to cast aspersions on and discredit the made-up enemies of the state.
BackChannels does not believe that Michelle Malkin was acting, but what about the alleged “ANTIFA”?
BackChannels recently took a look at the FBI page for “Most Wanted, Domestic Terrorism, ANTIFA” (“FBI, ANTIFA, and Swamp Gas”, July 1, 2020). For a now designated domestic terrorist organization, there were no associated “most Wanted” alleged felons listed.
“Antifa is a movement; antifa is an idea,” said Jim Derrane, a retired FBI special agent. “And certain people that profess to be involved with antifa … but there is no real organization; there is no structure.”

The pro-Trump publication PRNTLY has been in the news about “fake news” a time or two. Here is an appearance found in The Washington Post back in 2016.
Prntly popped up again last week as the source of a rumor about the Ted Cruz campaign. The site cut and pasted an old story about Cruz’s campaign manager, Jeff Roe. The headline suggested that perhaps Roe had approved the ad attacking Melania Trump run by an anti-Trump super PAC, but it offered no evidence to that effect.
It was, in other words, a very typical Prntly article: Mostly content from somewhere else with an unabashedly pro-Trump frame overlaid, and then shared by one of the site’s two apparent authors, Connor Balough or Shelby Carella.
Bump, Philip. “The pro-Trump fake news website that’s finding an audience — with Trump’s help.” The Washington Post, April 2, 2016.
Does “ANTIFA” even exist?
As an idea — and it’s not a bad idea: who is for fascism? — floating around the web, it certainly has a presence. Is the message pulling or pushing related “radical activists” into the streets? That’s more easily suggested than proved.
In 2017, Mother Jones interviewed a convicted then “ANTIFA” leader whose politics had to to do with street violence below the police radar. Punk stuff.
The MJ article provides background and sets the stage for today’s apparent drama.
BackChannels has noticed, however, that state-oriented Facebook ANTIFA pages appear to have been abandoned, nonexistent, or pulled (I saw two this month, one for Maryland, the other for Virginia, but neither seem online now). “Rose City Antifa“ (Portland – where else? – Oregon) appears to exist.
Where are all the others?
The attack on Michelle Malkin looked pretty real — and it certainly was real to her — but the police failed to act. A separate event security detail (or help — welcome to the fog of another “different kind of war” — has been mentioned in spiriting her out of harm’s way.
At this point and for all of the Trumpian Parrots now calling (“Antifa, BLM Antifa, BLM”), the suggestion of pure political false flag manipulation (for perceptual control of the nation) may nonetheless develop legs.
