(The Economic Collapse Blog)—We were warned that an internal revolution started by the communists would be coming. We were also warned that the summer of 2025 would be a “summer of chaos” in the United States. So the truth is that what happened in Los Angeles over the past few days shouldn’t be a surprise to any of us. The next couple of years are going to be a time when the far left in this country gets crazier than they have ever been before.
What we have just witnessed is only the beginning. So buckle up and hold on tight because things are only going to get wilder from here. The following are 16 things that everyone needs to know about the extremely violent far-left revolution that just erupted in Los Angeles…
#1 The protests in Los Angeles have been extraordinarily violent. It is being reported that objects were being thrown at police vehicles, and at one point a car was set on fire in the middle of an intersection…
KTLA video footage shows lines of law enforcement officers standing in the streets as protesters taunted them, while others blocked a roadway and threw objects at police vehicles. In addition, a car sitting in the middle of an intersection was seen engulfed in flames:
#2 The mainstream media has generally been downplaying this fact, but it has been confirmed that “multiple federal law enforcement officers” have been injured by the protesters…
Large-scale protests have sprouted throughout L.A. County including in the Westlake District, downtown L.A. and Paramount, and have escalated to violence on several occasions. A federal law enforcement official tells CBS News that multiple federal law enforcement officers were injured during confrontations with protesters on Friday and Saturday.
#3 Setting fires in southern California is a very foolish thing to do because they can easily get wildly out of control. But some of these violent protesters were “starting fires with accelerants” anyway…
On Saturday, anti-ICE protesters were filmed starting fires with accelerants during the anti-ICE rallies.
You can clearly see in a video making the rounds on X that the protesters are spraying accelerant on the dry brush before they set in on fire. Others are wearing Mexican flags as they stand by and watch.
#4 In the old days, everyone knew that you just don’t mess with the U.S. Marshals Service. They may not have realized it at the time, but the crowd of protesters that “swarmed” a U.S. Marshals Service bus could have very easily gotten shot…
A crowd swarmed a US Marshals Service bus exiting a nearby freeway, with authorities later closing on and off ramps to keep protesters from taking over the highway.
Smoke rose from burning shrubbery and refuse in the street, and demonstrators kicked at a Border Patrol vehicle.
A boulevard was closed to traffic as Border Patrol agents circulated through the area.
#5 To me, the most shocking moment of the protests was when protesters hurled an explosive device into the ICE detention facility in downtown Los Angeles…
The invading foreign army attacking Los Angeles surrounds the ICE detention facility in Downtown LA tonight as multiple fronts break out in the war.
The insurrectionists hurl an Unregistered Destructive Device into the federal facility then run from resulting salvos.
#6 The mainstream media is telling us a lot about the flash-bangs and the tear gas that law enforcement was using, but we are hearing very little about the enormous chunks of broken concrete that were being thrown by protesters…
Some protesters hurled large chunks of broken concrete at officers, slashed tires and defaced buildings, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Police declared an unlawful assembly and responded by firing tear gas, pepper spray and flash-bang concussion rounds toward the crowd.
#7 Suspiciously, someone staged “pallets of cinder blocks” right where the riots broke out…
#8 A far-left communist organization known as “Unión del Barrio” was highly instrumental in organizing the protests on social media…
With BLM kicked to the curb by the Democratic Party, the Mexican version of BLM – Unión del Barrio – whose manifesto is filled with explicit Marxist and communist rhetoric—has become the next group Democrats will use as useful idiots.
On Friday, Unión del Barrio issued a call to action for the crazies on Facebook to stage a protest against “ICE Terrorists” in Downtown LA:
Emergency Protest TODAY in LA! 4:30PM
535 Alameda St LA, CA 90012
Join us to denounce ICE terrorizing our communities! Over 200 people are currently being held at this location in the basement of the courthouse. Today, there has been ICE activity all over the LA area.
LA EMERGENCY PROTEST!
535 Alameda St, LA, CA 90012
Friday, June 6, 2025 4:30PM
STOP DEPORTATIONS NOW!
ICE has hundreds of members of our community kidnapped and is holding them at this location.
#9 Many of the printed materials and signs at the protests appeared to have originated from a far-left communist group known as “the Party for Socialism and Liberation”…
According to @DataRepublican, photos from the scene of the riots show CHIRLA-linked materials and professionally printed signs that trace back to the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL)—a Communist group operating in the U.S. with no transparency and no registered nonprofit status.
#10 After witnessing the violence that erupted, President Trump called in the National Guard, and they have now arrived in downtown Los Angeles…
The National Guard has arrived in Los Angeles after days of civil unrest following pro-migrant riots across the Californian city .
Images have emerged of troops on the ground in the downtown area of the city ahead of an expected demonstration near City Hall later today.
President Trump has said he is deploying 2,000 California National Guard troops to Los Angeles to quell the protests, which he called ‘a form of rebellion.’
#11 This is the first time that a U.S. president has deployed the National Guard in Los Angeles since the 1992 riots…
Trump’s federalization of the guard troops is the first time an American president has used such power since the 1992 LA riots. At that time widespread violence broke out in reaction to the acquittal of four white police officers for brutally beating Black motorist Rodney King.
#12 California Governor Gavin Newsom is adamantly against deploying the National Guard. The following is what he just posted on Twitter…
The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.
LA authorities are able to access law enforcement assistance at a moment’s notice. We are in close coordination with the city and county, and there is currently no unmet need.
The Guard has been admirably serving LA throughout recovery.
This is the wrong mission and will erode public trust.
#13 On his Truth Social account, President Trump announced that protesters will no longer be permitted to wear masks…
Great job by the National Guard in Los Angeles after two days of violence, clashes and unrest. We have an incompetent Governor (Newscum) and Mayor (Bass) who were, as usual (just look at how they handled the fires, and now their VERY SLOW PERMITTING disaster. Federal permitting is complete!), unable to to handle the task. These Radical Left protests, by instigators and often paid troublemakers, will NOT BE TOLERATED. Also, from now on, MASKS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED to be worn at protests. What do these people have to hide, and why??? Again, thank you to the National Guard for a job well done!
#14 U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is warning that if the violence continues, the U.S. Marines could be mobilized…
The violent mob assaults on ICE and Federal Law Enforcement are designed to prevent the removal of Criminal Illegal Aliens from our soil; a dangerous invasion facilitated by criminal cartels (aka Foreign Terrorist Organizations) and a huge NATIONAL SECURITY RISK.
Under President Trump, violence & destruction against federal agents & federal facilities will NOT be tolerated. It’s COMMON SENSE.
The @DeptofDefense is mobilizing the National Guard IMMEDIATELY to support federal law enforcement in Los Angeles. And, if violence continues, active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton will also be mobilized — they are on high alert.
#15 Apparently members of Congress have been told that there will be heavy deportation activity in the Los Angeles area for at least 30 days…
California officials have been told to prepare for 30 days of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activities in the Los Angeles area, according to a congresswoman whose district was pummeled by riots over the weekend.
Rep. Nanette Barragán (D-Calif.) argued that President Trump’s move to dispatch 2,000 National Guard members to Los Angeles to contain the riots and restore order could inflame tensions ahead of the heavy ICE activity there.
#16 The violence is already starting to spread to other cities. For example, check out what just happened in New York City…
A large group of radical leftists attempted to thwart immigration enforcement activities in New York City amid a violent nationwide uprising.
Multiple suspects were arrested after ‘protesters’ blocked official vehicles outside a U.S. Immigration Court and attacked authorities in the street.
Footage shot by local journalists shows Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officers dismantling a blockade and ordering agitators to “back up.”
Masked individuals can be seen throwing objects in the path of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement van before eventually standing in front of it with their hands on the hood.
There is no way that the Trump administration is going to back down.
After all, immigration is President Trump’s number one issue.
Of course there is no way that the radical left is going to back down either.
So expect to see a lot more protests and a lot more violence.
An internal revolution has begun, and that means that there is going to be a tremendous amount of chaos in the streets of America in the days ahead.

Why Bullion Beats Numismatics and Collectible for Your Safe or IRA
Precious metals continue to attract Americans seeking reliable ways to protect their wealth amid inflation, geopolitical risks, and stock market swings. Whether stored in a home safe or held inside a self-directed IRA, physical gold and silver deliver tangible value that paper or digital assets often lack. Yet investors must choose carefully between bullion—pure bars and coins valued mainly for their metal content—and numismatics or collectibles, where rarity, history, and collector demand heavily influence pricing.
Advisor Bullion serves as a dependable source for straightforward, high-quality bullion. The company specializes in physical gold, silver, platinum, and palladium, emphasizing transparent pricing and products that deliver maximum metal content for every dollar spent. This approach makes it ideal for both personal holdings and retirement accounts.
Bullion consists of refined precious metals in standard forms like one-ounce coins (American Gold Eagles, Silver Eagles, Canadian Maple Leafs) or bars. Their value tracks closely to the current spot price of the metal. A typical gold bullion coin trades near the live gold spot price plus a small premium. This structure keeps costs clear and predictable.
Numismatic coins and collectibles add substantial value from factors such as age, rarity, minting errors, or historical significance. A pre-1933 U.S. gold coin or graded proof piece can carry premiums of 30%, 50%, or even 200% above melt value. While this appeals to hobbyists, it creates complexity. Pricing depends on subjective grading, collector trends, and auction results instead of daily spot prices.
For investors focused on wealth preservation and retirement security rather than building a collection, bullion often delivers better results.
Lower Costs and Better Liquidity for Home Storage
When keeping metals in a home safe or private vault, liquidity and efficiency count. Bullion offers clear benefits:
- You acquire more actual gold or silver per dollar invested. Numismatics divert a large share of your money into rarity premiums and massive sales commission, reducing your metal exposure.
- Selling bullion involves tight bid-ask spreads, so you recover nearly full spot value with minimal fees. Collectibles require finding the right buyer and may sell at a discount if demand for that specific item weakens.
- Bullion prices remain transparent and update with global spot markets. You can track gold near current levels or silver accordingly and know exactly where your holdings stand. Numismatic values are priced by the Gold IRA companies with hefty margins applied.
- Standardized coins and bars store efficiently and divide easily for partial sales. Rare coins often need protective slabs and controlled conditions, adding hassle and expense.
- Bullion enjoys worldwide acceptance. A 1-oz Gold Maple Leaf or Silver Eagle sells quickly to dealers anywhere. Niche numismatic pieces may appeal only to limited buyers, slowing liquidation when speed matters.
In times when quick access to value becomes important, bullion’s simplicity stands out.
Stronger Fit for Precious Metals IRAs
Precious metals IRAs continue gaining traction as investors diversify retirement portfolios beyond stocks and bonds. IRS rules permit certain bullion products in self-directed IRAs if they meet purity standards (.995 fine for gold, .999 for silver) and are held by an approved custodian. Eligible items include American Gold and Silver Eagles plus many generic bars and rounds from recognized mints.
Numismatic and most collectible coins generally face heavy scrutiny from custodians due to valuation disputes and elevated markups. These higher premiums mean less actual metal ends up working inside the account.
Bullion avoids these issues. Its value links directly to verifiable spot prices, which simplifies reporting and lowers the risk of regulatory challenges. More of your IRA contribution purchases real metal instead of dealer profits or speculative upside. Over time, owning additional ounces that appreciate with the metal itself can create meaningful outperformance compared with high-premium alternatives that deliver fewer ounces.
Regulatory guidance from the CFTC and state securities offices repeatedly cautions against aggressive sales of expensive numismatics or “semi-numismatic” coins for IRAs. For retirement planning, transparent bullion from established providers reduces risk and aligns better with long-term goals.
How to Get Started with Bullion
Begin by clarifying your goals. Are you protecting savings in a safe, or moving part of a retirement account into a precious metals IRA? Focus on the number of ounces you can acquire at current prices rather than chasing marked-up collectibles.
Diversify sensibly: use gold for core preservation and silver for its blend of industrial and monetary qualities. Mix coins for easier divisibility with bars for lower per-ounce costs on larger buys. Arrange secure storage—whether at home with proper insurance or through professional facilities.
As economic uncertainties linger and faith in conventional assets erodes, bullion continues proving its worth as a dependable store of value. Its direct approach avoids the hype that sometimes surrounds collectible markets and keeps the focus on the metal itself.
For investors prepared to strengthen their portfolios, Advisor Bullion supplies the expertise and selection needed to acquire high-quality bullion efficiently. Whether building personal holdings or integrating metals into an IRA, their emphasis on transparent, investment-grade products helps secure more ounces today that support greater financial security tomorrow. In a complicated financial landscape, bullion’s clarity and reliability make it the smarter foundation for protecting what matters most.
This is all true. But it has been known for some time. The ppl behind the front useful idiots used the same methods in Seattle, Portland, other places. It is well organized and well-funded and the organizers are well trained. So, my question is WHEN is the DOJ/IRS going to do something about George Soros and his sidekick, Alex? When?? There are credible reports, many in fact, that Soros’ orgs finance and organize this destruction. Their goal: it has to be to take down the USA. Why not let Hungary have their wish with him?, or give him to Mr. Xi in China. They would like to get their hands on the devil. There are others behind the curtain, of course. But, Soros is a big fish hiding in America from govs that would like to get their hands on him.
ANTIFA!!!!
These are not protests. It is war.
THIS IS NOTHING BUT ANOTHER SHIT FIT FROM ILLEGAL INVADERS AND WE SIT WITH ARE THUMBS UP ARE ASSES. THEY WILL ALL GET FREE ATTORNEYS AND GO BACK TO THE HOMES WE PROVIDE FOR THEM. THEY BURN AND LUTE WITH IMPUNITY AND WE GET THE PLEASURE OF PAYING FOR THE CLEAN UP. LETS MAKE AMERICA CLEAN UP THE MESS AGAIN! THEY ARE ALL IN ON IT AND WE MUST DECIDE WHEN WE THE PEOPLE WILL TAKE ACTION ON THIS CORRUPT SYSTEM.
All we want to know is, Can we fight back now?
Yes we must fight back or the USA is over, first step, reopen Alcatraz
Start shooting some of the rioters and arrest Newscum
‘WHEN is the DOJ/IRS going to do something about George Soros and his sidekick, Alex? When?? There are credible reports, many in fact, that Soros’ orgs finance and organize this destruction. Their goal: it has to be to take down the USA. Why not let Hungary have their wish with him?,’
CASH AND BONGINO WAKEUP MAN
Welcome to the 2025 Summer of rage against Donald Trump… again. This is precisely like GEORGE FLOYD SUMMER, when oddly enough DJT was POTUS the last time. Here is our USAID money being spent to burn down LA so theses NGOs can build and maintain illegal immigrant militias (and voters) for the DNC/NWO. The Left is playing a very serious, very dangerous game. Will the rest of us realize the stakes are this high before the Left SUCCEEDS in destroying America?
I like #15!!!
Forget about January 6th. This is what a real insurrection looks like. The left seems to want a Civil War. They may get their wish.
THIS IS ANTIFA. There are calls to action by them. Not sure why they are calling ANTIFA Anti-Ice. START NAMING THEM FOR WHO THEY ARE!!!!
Queen Mary and other slaves burned an island down to gain their freedom. A real protest is not pretty, nor should it be.
Infinity is going to turn into eternity real quick. Time to treat invaders as invaders.
So, i guess that means we need to burn all the protesters to gain freedom from them?
I found the dumb guy.
It will take a few Kent State moments to stop this.
I’m ready to stop it now!
I am very curious why water cannons are not dispatched to break up these rioting lunatics. It is a great tool for making a path in a protesting crowd. Getting knocked on your butt with a force of water will definitely get your attention.
I suggest police officers should be equipped with cameras so they can get pictures of those throwing rocks bricks and any projectile ,click it then shot the suspect with a tranquilizer dart haul him or her off ,when they awake read them their rights and jail them. You do the crime you do the time!
GO AHEAD L.A. YOURSELVES TO THE GROUND NO LOSS TO THE WORLD
Bass needs to be arrested.
Clean and swift.

Who controls the NG?
Why was the NG recently activated in select cities within the US?
Can the NG work in coordination w/ the marines?
Do conditions need to be satisfied to authorize?
What former President used the military to save the republic and what occurred exactly?
Biggest drop to ever be provided on Pol. Study and prepare. The masses tend to panic in such situations. No war. No civil unrest.
Clean and swift.
Spray them all with something very difficult to wash off. Arrest as many as you can, even if you have to do what
Arizona Sheriff Arpaio did and put them in old military tents, surrounded by razor wire and electric fencing. Feed them
basic food, hire pro bono lawyers, weed out those with ANY KIND OF RAP SHEET, and run them thru the court system.
Fine them, if they do not have the $$$$, put them to work (guarded) cleaning graffiti, picking up trash, washing side
walks, etc. The more violent ones should be held longer. If they are employed they may NOT have a job when they are
let go because the boss needed someone there, and YOU HAVE BEEN REPLACED.
Perhaps them they will learn to be polite, and schedule a few to march and learn to write letters to the newpapers. As
John Wayne said in one of his last movies “I cannot abide bad behavior in a man.” Well, we law abiding folks should NOT
have to put up with such TEMPER TANTRUMS FROM BABIES.
Why don’t the good guys have water hose to smash the evil ones with strong bursts. The “good” guys are being too nice with the communist leftists friends of pelosi et all
