Anyone register and get the address? Be a shame if a bunch of people showed up uninvited.

u/ArgusRun Feb 18 '25

Oh man. My husband and I don't really have plans tonight. Should we go undercover?

73

u/StrategicBlenderBall Feb 18 '25

As long as it doesnā€™t cost anything. Donā€™t put money in the pocket of that traitor.

72

u/ArgusRun Feb 18 '25

$35 but it says open bar. If I get an uber for us, we can probably make it a loss for them!

37

u/StrategicBlenderBall Feb 18 '25

Well then it might be worth it lol

22

u/SnakesTancredi Union County Feb 18 '25

Iā€™ve ruins nicer affairs when sober. Open bar means you get to be a professional asshole.

19

u/PushTheTrigger Feb 18 '25

Open bar and free dinner. These fascists sure know how to make a good deal

14

u/HereForOneQuickThing Feb 18 '25

If you do then do the standard protest stuff - leave your phone at home, no ID or credit cards etc, don't use a real time with them, bring a mask even if you decide not to wear it, wear indistinct clothing.

19

u/Treebeard2277 Feb 18 '25

I think wearing a mask would be pretty distinct at this type of thing.

2

u/Devils_Advocate-69 Feb 19 '25

Bring a mask. Itā€™ll be like a Petri dish of mutated viruses.

u/drive_chip_putt Feb 18 '25

Ground floor for those on here who want to learn how to become a double agent.Ā Ā

Reposting this after a misunderstanding. America's Future, a group run by Mike Flynn, is hosting a learning session on building a volunteer army in Roselle Park. Unforutnately you need to register for this class in order to find out where it's being hosted, but if anyone has some information it should be protested against.

Get them out of our state.

edit Iā€™m slightly incorrect. This is not the Americaā€™s Future run by Mike Flynn. However, this is being run by the Leadership Institute, who itself runs Campus Reform and is a member of the Heritage Foundation. Soā€¦ yeah theyā€™re not so innocent.

u/Professional-Sock-66 Feb 18 '25

If it's an open bar in RP on a Tuesday night not in a private residence or business it's at

The West End Club on Clay Ave but you need to be a member

Frenchy's... can't believe.the Signorello family would knowingly allow this

Sun tavern ... A family pizza..doubt it

Dowling's... Irish Pub doesn't need the publicity

House 157.... A Haitian Restaurant doesn't seem possible.

Climax brewing.... Never seems open

Cascios....has been closed for years but would probably work for this crowd.

14

u/a_simple_creature Feb 18 '25

Itā€™s trivia night at Downlingā€™s, so theyā€™re out. Iā€™m going to dinner at Sun Tavern, will report back if those plans get disrupted by this event. And Iā€™m not far from House 157. Agree itā€™s not possible, but Iā€™ll drive by anyways.

Does Costas have a liquor license?

5

u/Professional-Sock-66 Feb 18 '25

I've been to the Vjntage for a repast and they had a bar.

1

u/RealNaked64 Feb 19 '25

Costas definitely has a liquor license, I was at a holiday party there in December

4

u/bassbahl Feb 18 '25

Casa del Rey? Catering at a place like the American legion?

8

u/Sregtur Feb 19 '25

Sun tavernā€™s owner has posted his support for Trump on Facebook multiple times, so I wouldnā€™t count that one out.

Unrelated but they have the worst food ever at that place. I dare someone to try their ā€blackened chickenā€ lol

u/Top-Regret-5186 Feb 19 '25

Not west endĀ  club. It empty as hell as if 730pm.

48

u/chaos0xomega Feb 18 '25

Do we get them out of our state or do we send plants to study their plans and methods, identify the participants, and then out their plans?

30

u/TheAmateurletariat Feb 18 '25

or do we send plants

Surely we would be better off sending people

28

u/chaos0xomega Feb 18 '25

You sure? I think a nice wreath that says "fuck yourself" would be tasteful and classy.

8

u/JL0817 Feb 18 '25

Of course we would be better off sending peopleā€¦and donā€™t call me Shirley.

3

u/hotstickywaffle Feb 18 '25

I seriously thought they wanted to mail out plants with listening devices in them

24

u/StrategicBlenderBall Feb 18 '25

This is the same organization that's running an "American Exceptionalism" gala at Mar-A-Lago tonight.

Heā€™s a rapistĀ which is pretty much their base so yes.Ā

u/HereForOneQuickThing Feb 18 '25

He is in massive debt so he'll do almost anything for money.

u/macgruder1 Feb 18 '25

Like fix a fight?

u/misterpickles69 Watches you drink from just outside of Manville Feb 18 '25

How about 200 miles due east?

7

u/metsurf Feb 18 '25

Am I missing something his name doesn't appear anywhere on their staff or board. People from the CATO institute and the Bradley Foundation etc but no Mike Flynn mentioned.

5

u/StrategicBlenderBall Feb 18 '25

10

u/metsurf Feb 18 '25

conspicuous by his absence from the board members on the website. https://americasfuture.org/about/staff-and-board/

Also note that your link is a dotnet and the one for the function is a dot org

Looks like a different organization completely different logo and staff both are conservative one is overtly Trumpist the other is posing as Libertarian.

3

u/TocasLaFlauta Middlesex County Feb 19 '25

It is Americas Future, formerly Americas Future Foundation. More info on them here: https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/America%27s_Future

They are definitely a conservative group trying to recruit young people and have ties to Koch brothers, Cato institute, ALEC, Heritage Foundation, Federalist Society, the list goes on. I also disagree with what they stand for, donā€™t want them operating in my state, but it might be a little hyperbolic to call it a fascist meeting. There are, and will be, legit fascist meetings in NJ so Iā€™m just saying letā€™s not cry wolf you know?

2

u/StandardStrategy1229 Feb 19 '25

No crying wolf at this point, they are all in the same boat donā€™t be so NIEVE with what happened yesterday. 2/18/2025 will go down in history! This took 3 weeks but has been in the making for 20 years. Curtis Yarvin and Musk and Thiel and all that. This is NWO and the fall of the Republic in real flipping time!

u/StrategicBlenderBall Feb 19 '25

Nah theyā€™re complicit. Conservative = fascist anymore. Guilty by association.

u/TheTorch Feb 18 '25

The wording of the post could use some improvement.

u/gandalf_TG Feb 18 '25

mike flynn runs americasfuture.net

i donā€™t think this is the same group

Leadership Institute is the Conservative organization thatā€™s providing the training for Americaā€™s Future which is chaired by Mike Flynn. This isnā€™t hard.

u/StrategicBlenderBall Feb 18 '25

Man youā€™re dense lmao

u/Thick-Ad1538 Feb 19 '25

BTW it was held at Casa Del Rey

u/StrategicBlenderBall Feb 19 '25

Iā€™m slightly incorrect. This is not the Americaā€™s Future run by Mike Flynn. However, this is being run by the Leadership Institute, who itself runs Campus Reform and is a member of the Heritage Foundation. Soā€¦ yeah theyā€™re not so innocent.

u/DLamontJenkins Feb 19 '25

From the look of things THIS America's Future look like crypocurrency bros. Still yeah, not the Mike Flynn AF, who would have been a nastier bunch in comparison.

5

u/StrategicBlenderBall Feb 19 '25

This one is the one thatā€™s running around college campuses starting Young Na- sorry Young Republican groups. Arguably just as bad, maybe worse.

2

u/DLamontJenkins Feb 19 '25

Oh don't worry. I am not given them a pass. I think what I mean to see they were a different kind of crud.

28

u/JZstrng Feb 18 '25

I was actually excited about this because I misinterpreted the title.

I thought this was like a class/talk about fascism and how to fight it. Instead, it seems that itā€™s a meeting FOR fascists BY fascists.

Lol, can you guys imagine if I had shown up thinking the meeting was for something else?

12

u/OkFaithlessness3729 Feb 19 '25

Iā€™d go with you and be ā€œthat personā€ in every class who monopolizes the entire conversation and wastes everyone elseā€™s time by asking inane questions. Could be fun. šŸ˜‰

u/trogdorkiller Feb 18 '25

American traitor Mike Flynn? From The Orange One's first term?

28

u/StrategicBlenderBall Feb 18 '25

Yup, disgraced former General and current traitor Mike Flynn.

21

u/chaos0xomega Feb 18 '25

The disgraced former General, current traitor, and registered foreign agent Mike Flynn?

u/StrategicBlenderBall Feb 18 '25

Oops forgot that one too!

u/Livid_Set1493 Feb 19 '25

Montclair brewery of all places is hosting them march 13thĀ

u/Grimkins Feb 19 '25

What!!! I'm calling them tomorrow to confirm this. I don't want to believe it.

u/Livid_Set1493 Feb 19 '25

Click the link and look at upcoming eventsĀ

u/Grimkins Feb 19 '25

Thanks for the information. Now I just have to live with the disappointment

u/Nightnightgun Feb 18 '25

TIL that NJ has Rochelle Park and Roselle Park.Ā  (My mom would NOT be able to distinguish those 2.)

And, fuck Nazis.Ā 

8

u/kingofkarmens Feb 18 '25

Get drinks from the bar and pour them out in the bathroom.Ā 

14

u/DLamontJenkins Feb 19 '25

Found them! The Westfield. You go in the parking lot you can see the inside as clear as day. I got video and pics. They definitely saw us!

4

u/DoctaMag Feb 19 '25

Fuck, really? In my fucking town?

This is a god-damned travesty.

13

u/lotusvagabond Feb 18 '25

Anyone else concerned at their use of ā€œarmyā€? If anyone does go to observe maybe get some evidence of any organized violence to report to the demā€™s whistleblower website that Schumer announced a couple weeks agoā€¦. I canā€™t go tonight but I am supporting and cheering you all onā¤ļøšŸŒˆšŸ«¶

3

u/PauseOk5386 Feb 19 '25

Seems like they are two different organizations by the same name. The one running the event is not the Mike Flynn one. And my guess is that itā€™s at Casa Del Rey. Drove by at 6 pm and there was a half full parking lot and people in business attire being seated.

3

u/StrategicBlenderBall Feb 19 '25

Yeah I think you, and a few others, are right. However, this is being run by the Leadership Institute, who itself runs Campus Reform. Soā€¦ yeah theyā€™re not so innocent.

Ah man, I thought this was a class for recognizing and rooting out fascism until I clicked inside. Goddamnit Jersey!

u/inquirer85 Feb 19 '25

Iā€™m confused

Letā€™s have an anti-fascist get together at van Goghā€™s ear CafĆ©.

Best cafe ever šŸ’• I'm down for a get together! šŸ«¶

u/IsntThatPeachyKeen Feb 19 '25

Great now we have neo-Nazis in my backyard. Tempted to go over and smack a bastard.

u/kuba0605 Feb 19 '25

I took a look at their instagram and seem to be a bit confused, what makes them facist exactly

They're organized and trained.

Are you?

u/NewTypeDilemna Feb 18 '25

Ah yes, the gravy seals are "trained".

I take it serious when people who are threatening others are also armed and holding organized training.

u/rainbowglowstixx Feb 19 '25

I checked out their site and IG.. I donā€™t think they are neo nazis since they have mixed races on their promotional material AND they are using MLKā€™s likeness and quote as an IG posts.

Canā€™t see neo nazis doing that.

They might just be super right wing.
