Antifa-Linked Extremists Circulate Online Guide for Targeting U.S. Infrastructure With Fire: Report
Social media accounts connected to Antifa are now distributing an instructional guide that provides step-by-step directions for creating incendiary devices designed to destroy key infrastructure cables.
The guide appears to promote domestic sabotage and is being shared openly across public online platforms., a bombshell report from The Post Millenial’s (TPM) Andy Ngo has revealed.
Independent journalist Ngo brought the guide to light in a post on X.
“Antifa accounts are sharing a guide on how to make incendiary devices that will burn cables used in infrastructure, like on train tracks,” he stated.
“Antifa and anarchist extremists believe that domestic terrorist attacks must be used to destabilize and destroy the state.”
Ngo’s post included a screenshot of an article titled “Burning Cables for Beginners,” which is being circulated by the X account “Anarchist Federation News.”
The account is known for regularly posting anti-government, anti-capitalist and anti-police messages and is followed by supporters of radical leftist ideologies.
The article offers what appears to be a highly detailed walkthrough on how to commit acts of arson with the goal of disabling critical infrastructure.
These cables, often used in rail systems and communications networks, are vital to the operation of public and private services across the country.
In addition to the technical instructions, the guide includes a disclaimer that warns readers not to print the directions.
The authors explain that printed copies are more easily traced by law enforcement and could pose a risk to individuals involved in extremist activities.
“We’ve chosen not to make this text available as a PDF because we believe that if an arson guide is distributed in printed form, some people will inevitably keep it in their homes or in movement spaces, which the police would be happy to find during a repressive operation,” the article states.
The guide continues, “In addition, a printed guide collects forensic traces from anyone who has interacted with it, so if the police recover a copy, they can, with some work, determine who has read it.”
The language in the disclaimer suggests that the authors are highly aware of police investigation methods, and it reflects an intentional effort to avoid detection while encouraging others to carry out destructive acts.
The appearance of this arson guide comes amid a wave of destructive incidents involving Antifa-aligned groups, TPM highlighted.
Recent events suggest a pattern of targeted violence that includes property destruction, campus disruptions and coordinated attempts to shut down public access to buildings and roads.
One of the most recent incidents occurred at the University of Washington in Seattle.
TPM reported that last week, individuals dressed in black bloc—a tactic often associated with Antifa—were observed occupying the Interdisciplinary Engineering building on campus.
The activists blockaded the building’s entrances and exits, according to multiple reports.
Outside, they placed bike racks across roadways to prevent vehicle access.
At the same time, several dumpsters were set on fire, sending smoke and flames into the air.
TPM noted that despite the fires posing an immediate threat to safety, no police officers or firefighters were present at the scene when the fires were first ignited.
The black bloc participants wore head-to-toe black clothing and masks to conceal their identities.
This tactic, often used during direct actions and protests, is intended to prevent identification by law enforcement or surveillance footage.
As the fires burned and activists occupied the university building, no immediate arrests were reported.
The identity of the individuals involved has not been disclosed, and no group has publicly taken responsibility for the occupation or the fires.
The Anarchist Federation News account that shared the “Burning Cables for Beginners” guide has not removed the post, and as of now, no content moderation action appears to have been taken.
The account continues to post messages encouraging resistance against state structures.
At the federal level, officials have repeatedly warned about the threat posed by domestic extremist groups.
While Antifa is not designated as a formal organization, individuals and networks associated with its ideology have been involved in numerous incidents involving property damage and public disturbances.
Ngo, who has reported on Antifa activity across multiple U.S. cities, has consistently documented the tactics used by such groups.
His posts have contributed to broader awareness of the methods being adopted and the potential risks associated with unchecked extremism.
The dissemination of a guide designed to teach readers how to sabotage infrastructure adds to growing concerns about national security vulnerabilities.
Transportation systems, communication networks, and public utilities all rely on cable infrastructure, which is now being openly targeted.
It remains unclear whether law enforcement agencies will take direct action against those sharing the incendiary guide online. However, multiple agencies continue to monitor domestic threats tied to anarchist and anti-state movements.
