BREAKING: Another ICE Assassination
Some thoughts on the second fatal murder in Minneapolis at the hands of ICE thugs.
We can all see it coming. If there’s one thing Trump always does is show his cards when it comes to what he’s going to do next. He does it to pave the way and normalize his continued move into real Dictatorship.
The plan in Minnesota has been clear for weeks:
Surge in ICE thugs.
Draw peaceful protesters into the streets.
Escalate random acts of violence to try to push protesters into action.
Use the excuse of crowd violence to invoke the Insurrection Act and bring in active military troops.
We are on the edge between #3 and #4. There’s no denying that.
With another murder on the streets of Minneapolis this morning that next step seems imminent. And it seems like the perfect time for Trump to escalate. He’s back on US soil and certainly doesn’t want the continued coverage of the peaceful and large general strike in Minneapolis yesterday — the truth of which defies his ongoing narrative that protesters are paid agitators and domestic terrorists.
MAGA media can spew Trump lies all day in furtherance of his theme, but they have to accompany their own lies with images — and showing mass, peaceful crowds is not something they want to stick with people who are still open to reason.
Poll after poll shows that Trump’s immigration terror is losing support — including amongst Republicans. Where that ultimate core MAGA who would be willing to follow him into a Holocaust isn’t known. Is it 30 or 25%? We don’t know, but, we’re not there yet and reality is still winning as those numbers go down.
JD Vance’s recent trip to Minneapolis showed the Catch 22 position they find themselves in. On one hand he talked about cooling down the temperature in a way to speak to those who might be warming to the truth. On the other, he threw out red meat to the crazy core blaming local leaders and domestic terrorists.
But, a side is going to have to be picked soon, and every sign points to escalation and further violence.
"It's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of our state, and today that campaigned claimed another life. I've seen the videos from several angles and it's sickening. But I have a strong statement here for our federal government — Minnesota's justice system will have the last word on this.
— Governor Tim Walz
Today’s murder follows that same pattern. Lie about the facts of the shooting immediately so MAGA media can establish another false chapter in the larger book. All local Minnesota officials are (as always) calling for calm and prohibiting even peaceful protests.
That won’t work.
People can only be pushed so far. It’s human nature. Crowds are going to gather, even if it’s against the law. Actual agitators brought in by ICE can manufacture a flash point. The people who have screamed FALSE FLAG operation for years are the ones most likely to actually do it.
Or they wait for it to happen naturally — because it will. Even within disciplined peaceful protests that likelihood only increases as tensions rise.
Right now cable news is carrying a live press conference by head Nazi thug Greg Bovino. We’ve gotten to the point that he’s not just on MAGA media but purposefully sent forth as the crisis unfolds to a point that all mainstream media feels like he has to be covered.
That is another clear signal that the only way to go is down, and the inevitable is going to be just that.
We are entering a much more dangerous phase of Trump’s de facto dictatorship.
From hitting the streets to simply spreading the truth — we all have a role to play as we enter uncharted territory. Many of our elected leaders are (at least) speaking the truth in the unvarnished terms this moment demands.
But, there is much, much more to do as we enter this new dark phase. Last week, I proposed some concrete, common-sense solutions that I think need to be adopted in Minneapolis and become a template for future actions in cities and states across the country.
I don’t claim that it is complete, but it’s a start and you can read it here.
If you agree, please SHARE the article and TAG some politicians so we can drag them into the full reality of this crisis.
All my thoughts to the good people of Minnesota. We are all with you.
Perilous times.
