The August 11, 2017 tiki-torch procession was a complete humiliation for the College of Virginia (UVA). 300 males performed a good and authorized protest of Jewish energy on their treasured campus, and their Antifa goons weren’t in a position to break it up.
So, UVA—a feeder-school for the FBI and the Division of Justice—determined to get revenge by weaponizing the judicial system.
As quickly because the smoke had cleared, UVA President Teresa Sullivan commissioned Legislation College Dean Risa Goluboff to discover a technique to launch prosecutions. Her report was submitted precisely one month later. She proposed: restrictions on campus free-speech, a more in-depth relationship with the FBI’s “fusion heart,” and prosecutions primarily based on a statute so obscure that UVA police didn’t even learn about it.
Dean Goluboff (Jewish) is not any goal observer. She claims to have been deeply affected by the occasions of August 11. In December 2018, she spoke with a “native decide and UVA alumnus” at a vacation social gathering. She remembered pondering “Even a 12 months and a half later, the occasions had been too uncooked. My very own involvement and emotions about it had been too sophisticated.”
It’s noteworthy that this change occurred on the time of the farcical James Fields trial earlier than native decide and UVA alumnus Richard E. Moore. Extra on him later.
Goluboff was not the one UVA Legislation college who’ve agitated for prosecutions. One other instigator was Professor Anne Coughlin. Earlier than the Unite the Proper Rally (UTR) of August 12, 2017, Coughlin acted as a liaison between pro-Jewish teams and metropolis officers, particularly former Mayor Mike Signer (Jewish).
Describing her relationship with Signer, she says “Effectively, I’m, you already know, type of an institutional participant. I do know the mayor rather well…. I’m fairly positive they knew that I had good relationships with town—the powers that be within the metropolis, Mike Signor [sic] specifically.”
She additionally boasts of an extended profession in Antifa “activism.” Through the rally, she took on an lively function with Antifa, driving personnel between their lead-elements at Lee Park and their operational headquarters at First United Methodist Church.
Within the years since, Coughlin has spearheaded efforts to convey prosecutions, irrespective of how flimsy. Writing in Cville Weekly in September 2019, she upbraided then-Commonwealth’s lawyer Robert Tracci for not prosecuting anybody who participated within the tiki-procession below Virginia’s statute in opposition to “burning an object with an intent to intimidate.”
Like with their efforts to cease the tiki-vigil, UVA and Antifa militants have labored hand-in-hand. In an October 11, 2023 podcast (see right here, c 53:00), Antifa ringleader Edward Gorcenski bragged about having satisfied the prosecutor to convey these costs.
Prosecutor Tracci, no right-winger himself, acknowledged that there was no authorized argument and refused to press costs. Charlottesville District Prosecutor David Chapman additionally refused to press costs for different tiki-processions that had occurred in his jurisdiction.
Torturous and Abusive Prosecutions.
As unusual because it may appear in an age of frivolous lawsuits and baseless felony costs, that is truly unlawful. It’s known as barratry—utilizing the courts to pursue a private agenda.
However that didn’t deter Coughlin and her allies at UVA Legislation. They maneuvered to get a brand new, extra pliable prosecutor elected.
They succeeded in 2019 with Jim Hingeley. Coughlin personally donated to his marketing campaign. Different donors included J6 inquisitor and UVA faculty-member Timothy Heaphy, in addition to Jewish multi-billionaire George Soros.
However Hingeley’s most beneficiant financier by far was Brooklyn-born billionaire Sonjia Smith, who gave him $114,000. Smith is the spouse of real-estate speculator and former Goldman Sachs Vice President Michael Payments who can also be a UVA college member. Each have dumped thousands and thousands of {dollars} into Virginia politics since 2019.
Puppet-prosecutor Hingeley took his candy time bringing the instances. Elected in 2019, he waited till April of 2023 to begin charging folks with “burning an object with intent to intimidate.” Fortunate for him, Virginia has no statute of limitations.
Hingeley (UVA Legislation ’76) has dozens, perhaps a whole lot of secret indictments in hand. In a simply society, he would merely arrest each suspect and placed on one huge trial.
However in Jewish-ruled America, the frequent observe is to first bully a couple of folks into taking plea-deals then to make use of their guilty-pleas as proof in opposition to different defendants.
To get into the authorized niceties, the statute in query doesn’t even apply. It’s supposed to cease the KKK from burning crosses in folks’s lawns. It isn’t supposed to revoke your free speech whereas holding a torch or a candle or grilling a steak.
Based on the authorized reasoning of UVA Legislation—excuse me, the prosecutor’s workplace—any fireplace “burns one thing.” Cigarettes burn tobacco. Candles burn wicks. Vehicle engines have a spark. Based on this absurd and malicious interpretation, saying imply issues is free speech, however doing so whereas smoking is a felony, punishable with as much as 5 years in jail.
The Virginia Common Meeting by no means supposed for the legislation for use this manner. In 2019, two years after the tiki-vigil, a invoice was launched to amend the statute to incorporate “utilizing a flame producing instrument.” The invoice didn’t go. It’s fairly clear that, within the understanding of the legislature, the unique statute doesn’t cowl using tiki-torches.
Lead Prosecutor is an Antifa… and a Witness.
The lynchpin of the entire conspiracy between UVA and the Commonwealth’s Lawyer is William Lawton Tufts. Tufts works in Hingeley’s workplace and has been the lead lawyer on the tiki-procession prosecutions.
Oddly, Tufts didn’t graduate from UVA. However he did work there. On the time of the tiki-procession, he was working at UVA’s Public Service Middle, which prides itself on putting graduates within the Division of Justice. In plain English, Tufts was a recruiting sergeant for the feds.

Again in 2017, he additionally labored with Antifa. Alongside along with his buddy and colleague, the above-mentioned Professor Anne Coughlin, he was a liaison between metropolis officers, police and Antifa teams. He was additionally on the Police Citizen’s Advisory Panel, a job that required him to attend conferences and talk commonly with the police.
Together with Coughlin he conspired with UVA Professor Jalane Schmidt to strain authorities into giving UVA/Antifa what they needed. Based on Coughlin’s testimony in a January 8 listening to, Schmidt emailed her and Tufts saying:
Topic: Alt-Proper Cooperation with Police?There are intel sources on the market on our aspect who commonly observe the social media spewing of the Alt-Proper and report again. This might simply be braggadocio, but it surely may function a negotiating angle or later PR angle for making use of strain on metropolis and police.
Schmidt in flip had the ear of the Emily L. Blout (Jewish), a fellow UVA professor and—it simply so occurs—the spouse of Charlottesville Mayor Mike Signer (Jewish).
Tufts can also be a colleague of Legislation Professor Barbara Armacost and UVA Librarian Ben Doherty. Doherty was an organizer of the Antifa-organization “Exhibiting Up for Racial Justice” (SURJ) and Armacost was a Nationwide Attorneys Guild lawfare knowledgeable.
The NLG is one other Antifa group that focuses on intimidating regular folks and offering authorized cowl to front-line Antifa militants. Their green-hatted spotters had been current in drive on the Jefferson Statue.

Doherty labored within the library with Antifa Tyler Magill who was additionally on the statue. By the way, his spouse, Sena, ran for Metropolis Council in 2019 and served as Vice Mayor for 2 years. Her marketing campaign was funded ($10,000) by billionaire Charlottesville puppet-master Sonjia Smith (see above).
Can there be any doubt that Tufts was positioned within the prosecutor’s workplace for the particular objective of conducting these abusive and vindictive prosecutions?
Tufts Continues on Mission
Two earlier judges have already recused themselves for conflicts of curiosity. A type of (Claude Worrell) was a possible witness.
Tufts has been compelled off one tiki-vigil case (that of Jacob Dix). Protection lawyer Peter Frazier argued that Tufts had a transparent battle of curiosity. Certainly, he may need initiated an attorney-client relationship with Antifa by giving them authorized recommendation.
Choose H. Thomas Padrick agreed and ordered the entire Commonwealth’s Lawyer workplace to recuse itself. Certainly, one other lawyer of their workplace, Armin Zijerdi, was siding with Jewish Antifa on August 12, 2017.
As Hingeley himself stated at his swearing in, “As a public official who’s formulating and finishing up public coverage, you wish to have folks in your crew who share the imaginative and prescient that you’ve.”
So, Antifa’s imaginative and prescient?
That may comply with. Hingeley and Tufts are preventing tooth-and-nail to remain on different instances. That is uncommon, to say the least. It’s a bit like asking mother after dad has advised you no.
With one Albemarle decide, Tufts has had extra luck. Final week, Choose Richard E. Moore (UVA Legislation ’80) dominated that Tufts didn’t essentially have a battle of curiosity.
Nonetheless, Moore did agree with Choose Padrick that, if Tufts is recused, then the entire Commonwealth’s Lawyer’s Workplace would wish to step apart as a result of that they had did not correctly display their very own folks.
Out-of-town decide: “This can be a clear battle.” Charlottesville decide, “uh, gonna need to aspect with UVA on this one.”
That distinction of opinion can get sorted out by the appeals court docket.
Why does Tufts care a lot? If he cares about justice, wouldn’t a particular prosecutor be adequate?
Does Tufts assume that being the prosecutor will make it unimaginable for him to be known as as a witness? Is he frightened that he’ll need to commit perjury to cowl up his crimes and people of his Antifa accomplices?
Antifa-Authorities Partnership
UVA is a public establishment. It’s funded by taxes. President (Emerita) Sullivan, Dean Goluboff, Professors Coughlin and Schmidt, Tyler Magill—all of those individuals are public officers. So are the Antifa brokers Dean Allen Groves and Professor Walter Heinecke (see my final article). Tufts and Hingeley are additionally public officers.
And UVA is not any abnormal faculty. Its Legislation College is likely one of the major feeder-schools for Merrick Garland’s Division of “Justice” and their enforcement arm, the FBI. It’s a prime provider of clerks to the federal courts.
These folks have cash and energy. It’s ridiculous—insulting—for them to fake that they’re by some means the victims of a vicious assault.
UVA, Antifa, and the prosecutor’s workplace are all the identical factor. At greatest, it’s conflicts of curiosity, abuse of energy and incestuous institutional relationships.
At worst, it’s a conspiracy to make use of public establishments to pursue non-public, Jewish revenge, with fairly a couple of non-Jews who genuflect to the powers that be whereas pondering they’re rebels preventing in opposition to the system.
It actually appears to be like that manner.
