Mother, conservative activist, and small business owner Chelly (CK) Bouferrache is a dear friend who has been in the conservative fight as a photojournalist for seven years. Chelly has worked to expose Antifa’s evil destruction in Portland and blunt the legacy media’s lies and narratives. These media actors literally run cover for this terrorist group while deliberately exposing conservative journalists and activated citizens to Antifa’s attacks, doxing and economic harm. As Chelly’s Twitter bio at HunnyBadgerMom states, she is a “Blue state dissident. Wrongthinker. Photographer/journo. Baker of pastries. Western Way of Life. Not caving to your groupthink.” Unlike too many of the conservative posers on Twitter, Chelly lives up to her words and backs them with action. Along with fellow journalist and friend Andy Ngo and a few others, Chelly works tirelessly to expose the evils of Antifa and see these terrorists brought to justice.

Update: Violent Portland, Ore. #Antifa leader, Alissa Eleanor Azar, is still being prosecuted for felonies stemming from alleged violent attacks in multiple counties. She was indicted for felony riot, use of mace & disorderly conduct in a 2021 attack. Her trial is scheduled for… https://t.co/aujtmJ7akB pic.twitter.com/wBoNtsjpST

I asked Chelly how she went from mother of three to conservative activist.

I probably got started in this after I left Portland, I lived in Portland for 25 years, off and on, [but] most of that time was there, and I watched it go from this wonderful smaller city, great place to raise family and kids, to what my prediction was that it was going to be a hellhole pretty soon. That was back in 2014 when I left, and I moved back to a small town—still here in Oregon—and I watched the city get worse. I still had a lot of friends who lived there. Then in 2017, after Trump was elected, there was an incident on a train where a man slashed a bunch of people’s throats and that man was connected by the media and Antifa to the Patriot Prayer movement in Portland. They were having a rally and the media said they’re connected to this man, so they shouldn’t be allowed. It became a national issue and I said to my friend Molly Hemingway at The Federalist, I said, hey, I think I’m going to go up to this rally that they’re talking about. Would you like photos? And she said, “Yes,” and that’s where it started.

So, just to be clear, that man was not connected to that group in any way, but it was a narrative set by liberal media.

Chelly has covered a ton of events in Portland and in other states, particularly documenting and reporting on the tactics of Antifa. She’s also worked with and interviewed the Proud Boys, and in 2019 she was with Andy Ngo in Portland when Antifa attacked and brutally beat him.

When an organization called United Revival chose Portland as one of the cities to do a Jesus March, Chelly was more than intrigued.

I don’t know where the event was advertised, but I had seen it popping up in Telegram chats and it was called The Jesus March. The organization called United Revival said they would do a March through the city, prayers, and then they would end up back in Downtown [Portland] where they had planned to be. And they actually got permits to have Pioneer Square for a full entire 24 hours. This is a very organized organization. They did a Jesus March in Seattle maybe three weeks ago, and they had this one scheduled in Portland for July 8.

United Revival’s website states,

The vision behind the march is to gather with believers in every city throughout the USA to proclaim the name of Jesus and make Him known.

As we stand together in His name, we are believing for God to change a generation through a bold proclamation of the victory of Jesus Christ.

We want to see the body of Christ equipped to share the Gospel, walking in Unity, and burning for Jesus with all their heart.

Straightforward, and no apparent political agenda. However, Oregon’s legacy press and the Leftist-adjacent fauxnalists who chose to pay attention wanted to paint it as a Christian Nationalist event.

Even more egregious, they framed it as though the attendees and marchers were the ones doing the antagonizing rather than the Antifa bloc that deliberately infiltrated the rally. Nothing could be further from the truth, as video footage and Chelly’s own eyewitness account attests.

Chelly did extensive photographic and video documentation of the event and explains that it was anything but a homogenized Christian nationalist enterprise.

Thanks to Chelly and other conservative journalists and activists’ work to document and warn, along with the sound planning of United Revival and their tight security apparatus, this event was probably the most peaceful that Portland had seen in quite some time.

Not a Christian “nationalist” event. An evangelical event and the “protestors” were disrupters dressed in black with their faces hidden harrassing ppl while the young men doing security peacefully kept them away from the ppl attending the event. https://t.co/gW7r307CVl

Chelly talked about how at the beginning of her activism work, she was able to infiltrate Antifa in order to discover their motives and plans.

So, when I started in 2017, they didn’t know who I was, and I dressed kind of like them, all in black. And I just went around and interviewed people, and I got away with that for probably three or four different events before somebody figured out—they probably saw my article in The Federalist, and they started tracking me. I didn’t know that for quite a while, but they wouldn’t speak to me at some point, where before I could actually get some of them, the Leftists, to talk to me.

The occupier of the White House once described Antifa as an idea. What they are is a well-organized mafia who continue to coalesce and take over cities while targeting the people they consider their enemies. Once they knew Chelly’s intent, she quickly developed a target on her back.

Back in 2019, I was with Andy Ngo, who was a friend of mine, and I had accompanied him to an event in downtown Portland, and they threw milkshakes on him. Then they beat him badly. When they were beating him, they had surrounded me because they knew I was taking pictures of him. They didn’t touch me that day, but I thought, I thought I was gonna get beat.

While she has not suffered the violence perpetrated against Ngo, it is not because these Antifa goons would not wish to make it happen. Since that awful day in 2019, Chelly has skated the razor’s edge with these terrorists.

I’ve been pepper sprayed. I’ve been shoved, threatened, they’ve tried to rob me of my equipment, and then last year, a year ago, I went to an attack on a church that they’d actually announced, and it was turned out to be the church that I went to when my boys were young. And it was a Jane’s Revenge movement attack, because they [the church] housed the corporate headquarters to the pregnancy resource centers. When I got there, I was the only journalist besides a single AP journalist who never is touched by Antifa. In fact, this last weekend, I saw him waving at one of them.

And they mobbed me and attacked me two separate times. So now they know who I am on sight. So, I have to take security or [stand with] an opposing presence [in order] to safely cover anything.

At the Portland Jesus March, Chelly continued her work in exposing Antifa and their efforts to disturb, disrupt, and enact violence against this powerful and pivotal spiritual gathering. Chelly bravely stands in the midst of threats and has earned the ire of Antifa because she is well-versed in their tactics to disrupt, incite violence, and render destruction, as she discusses here.

WARNING: Strong language.

According to Andy Ngo’s research, the Antifa thug threatening Chelly and intimidating others is a known terrorist named Justin William Bowen. Bowen participated in the BLM-Antifa riots of 2020 to 2021 and has been arrested multiple times. The Office of Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt has dropped every charge against Bowen. Oregon’s taxpayer dollars are hard at work to keep criminals out of jail.

This same man who lunged at her phone got up in my space earlier, saying “I know who you are.” Possibly one of the people harrassing me online. Not sure. I heard the same thing ten times yesterday. They know who I am. Then they don’t pronounce my name correctly. https://t.co/sh1nPaftH2

One Antifa member, who Chelly dubbed ACAB Cee-Lo Green, attempted to mow her down at one point.

I was like, wait, that is not the same guy as the guy they identified. There’s two of them. Anyway, he was gonna shoulder check me, so I’m walking and filming, like I’m filming back and and looking forward, back and forth, and I see him. He’s coming right at me. And I’m like, do you think you’re gonna mow me down? Literally, at the last second, he just stepped out of the way. They love to intimidate women. They think conservative women, they think that we’re gonna fold weirdly.

Chelly related a beautiful story about the power of the Jesus March event, as well as the power of prayer after the ugly encounter with ACAB Cee-Lo Green and another Antifa plant.

United Revival plans to bring the Jesus March to San Diego on Saturday, July 15, and Chelly will fly into California to photograph and document this one while keeping an eye out for Antifa’s presence in the state.

The next event is in San Diego this weekend and I’m planning on being there. San Diego seems a little better in terms of Antifa, but there’s definitely a presence down there too. So, I don’t know. Sometimes they’ll go after you in other cities.

The parent protest in Glendale is an example of the coordinated presence of Antifa to cross state lines in order to enact their disruptive influence. With activists like Chelly on the case, the hope is that their destructive tactics will be mitigated.

Thanks to Antifa’s targeting of Chelly coupled with the draconian government of Oregon, Chelly had to close her fledgling bakery business. She now works to support herself through her photography and her photojournalism work on Substack.

I work for myself. I sometimes sell articles and I’ll post them. But you can find the work that I’ve done, or they can follow along, and if anybody wants to help support me, they can always send money on the Cash app, because I pay for all this stuff myself.

Whether it be financial contributions or prayers, Chelly welcomes the partnership of patriots, citizens, and freedom-loving people to help raise awareness so that Chelly can continue to hold Antifa’s feet to the fire.
