Portland ANTIFA terrorist Alexander Robert Wick, 38 – Via The Post Millennial
A leftist Portland activist has been arrested on felony charges after attempting to bomb a freeway during the anti-Trump and anti-ICE No Kings protests nationwide.
The No Kings Day recruiter, who has reportedly espoused ANTIFA talking points and shown support for leftwing causes, is also the CEO of Cascadia Carbon Inc., a far-left climate change and “sustainable growth” business.
According to a police press release,
The suspect, Alexander R. Wick, 38, of Portland, was booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center on charges of Unlawful Manufacture of Destructive Device, Possession of a Destructive Device, Attempted Arson in the First Degree, Criminal Mischief in the First Degree, Menacing, and Disorderly Conduct in the Second Degree.
Investigators believe there were people with video of the original incident but left the scene without providing that video or leaving their contact information. If anyone has video evidence or eyewitness accounts of the incident, and have not already provided those to police, please contact Detective Meredith Hopper at Meredith.Hopper@police.portland…. Please reference case number 25-158213.
The incident happened in the southbound lanes of I-5 just north of the North Failing Street pedestrian bridge on June 14th. The investigation revealed that Wick threw construction cones and boards with nails protruding out into the lanes of travel.”

Exclusive: The Portland man accused of attempting a bombing on the freeway with an IED and nails on the “No Kings Day” was likely politically motivated.

Ironically, the man who attempted to commit this criminal act of terrorism and murder advertised the No Kings protests in an Instagram reel, calling for Trump to be indicted “for the crimes he’s committed and is continuing to plan to commit.”
“He’s a convicted felon and likely a narcissist. He’s a fascist ruler, and we’re going to get rid of him,” Wick said, calling for radicals to occupy the streets and strike against their jobs until Trump is out of office and indicted.

The Post Millennial reports,
Alexander Robert Wick, 38, of Portland, was booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center on felony charges including first-degree attempted arson, unlawful manufacture of a destructive device, possession of a destructive device, and first-degree criminal mischief. He also faces two additional misdemeanor charges of menacing and second-degree disorderly conduct, according to jail records.
On June 14, Wick allegedly began throwing traffic cones and boards with protruding nails into the lanes of traffic on Interstate 5 at the Northeast Failing Street pedestrian bridge around 7 p.m. The attack happened after the “No Kings” event, a nationwide anti-Trump protest organized by Democrats, largely concluded. When drivers came to a stop, Wick allegedly slashed the tires of their vehicles and threatened them with a screwdriver, claiming that he had a bomb, according to a police press release.
Officers searched the area and located a bucket with an explosive device, prompting an immediate freeway closure around 9:20 pm. The Metro Area Explosives Disposal Unit (MEDU) responded and rendered the device safe. A joint federal and local investigation later revealed that the device was a viable improvised explosive (IED). The freeway was shut down in both directions for nearly an hour.
Wick fled the scene and was taken into custody several days later on June 19, following the execution of a search warrant at his home in the 4700 block of Northeast 15th Avenue in the Sabin Neighborhood involving the use of tactical teams and federal law enforcement agencies. The joint operation was conducted by the FBI, the Portland Police Bureau, the MEDU, the Portland Fire Investigations Unit, Special Emergency Reaction Team (SERT), Crisis Negotiation Team (CNT) and the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT).

“I Defied My Government For Love” – State Department Official Dated Senior CCP Leader’s Daughter, Admits “She Could Have Been a Spy” – But Didn’t Report Her (VIDEO)

The O’Keefe Media Group on Wednesday released undercover video of Daniel Choi, a US State Department Foreign Service Officer who admitted he dated a senior CCP leader’s daughter and refused to report her.
“I defied my government for love,” Daniel Choi said of his romantic relationship with 27-year-old Joi Zao.
Joi Zao entered the US on a work visa in September 2024.
“Her dad was either a provincial or a federal minister of education. So he’s, like, straight up Communist Party,” Choi said.
“Under federal regulations, Foreign Service Officers are required to report close and continuing contact with foreign nationals from adversarial nations, including China,” the O’Keefe Media Group reported.
Choi admitted he didn’t report her: “I was supposed to, whatever, sort of report what I knew about her, but I always thought that was kind of unfair.”
