Minnesota Erupts in Anarchy

Thomas Paine: American Philosopher, & Revolutionary

From 1776 through the formation of The Constitution I helped create America. Now I have returned to help save America. American Patriots must join together, speak out in free and open discussion to fight the “woke” anti-American mob, and further the cause of FREEDOM.

They are on to the Fraud, Call in the Rioters

As a follow up to my last post, regarding the massive fraud schemes set up by Democrats to appease their Somalian voter block and kick back billions of taxpayer dollars into their own political coffers, it was inevitable that those same Democrats would launch a distracting spectacle aimed at the inquisitors and designed to cast the spotlight onto federal authorities as the fascist oppressors of the poor “innocent civilians” they were attempting to deport.

So they rolled out a team of professional agitators and organized “mostly peaceful” protests across Minneapolis to obstruct the operations of nearly 2,000 ICE Agents who had been deployed to root out the fraudulent Somalians.  It has been reported that 85-90% of the Somali community in the twin cities is on some form of welfare. 

Not to be overlooked is the fact that obstructing federal law enforcement from carrying out their constitutional duties, is a crime in itself (see 18 U.S. Code § 111) that addresses incidents whereby anyone who assaults, resists, opposes, impedes, or interferes with any federal agent engaged in the performance of official duties, shall be in violation of this section and faces potential prison sentencing up to 20 years.

Additionally, some actions may constitute violations under 18 U.S. Code § 1501, depending on how the interference is conducted.  The statute covers both direct physical acts and indirect methods of obstruction.  Physical obstruction includes blocking movements, standing in front of an officer to prevent an arrest, shielding another person from apprehension, and even minor contact that disrupts an official function all meet the required standard.  “Verbal or written threats against a federal officer can also constitute interference. These threats do not need to be explicitly violent; statements that create a reasonable fear of harm or intimidation may be sufficient. Courts evaluate the words used, the manner of delivery, and whether the officer had reason to believe the threat would be carried out.

Threatening behavior may include verbal statements, gestures, or electronic messages implying danger. While criticism or harsh language is protected under the First Amendment, statements suggesting imminent harm or an intent to obstruct official duties can cross into criminal conduct.” [1]

From the video evidence we have all seen on national television, it’s easy to see that many of the protesters have violated federal laws.  A few of the most violent have been arrested.  One unhinged woman, who refused orders to disperse, was shot and killed behind the wheel of her SUV that she used to attempt to run over an ICE Agent.  He was lucky enough to jump aside after contact that reportedly caused internal bleeding before firing through her windshield.  The left immediately called the agent a “murderer”, before the radiator cooled off.  She is their new “George Floyd”, and the impetus for escalating violence.  All she had to do was obey the agents request to leave the scene cautiously and she would be alive today, free as a bird.  She is a perfect example of the hatred that can be manipulated by agitators, media outrage, and inflammatory rhetoric spewed by high-profile politicians who falsely portray legitimate federal authority as fascist tactics.  In the aftermath of her shooting, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, recently took to the podium and publicly threatened ICE to “get the fuck out of” his city. 

Maybe he doesn’t want ICE and  federal investigators to dig too deeply into the massive fraud that went on for years under his blind eye. 

Maybe the fact that his wife, Sarah Clarke, worked as a lobbyist and Director of Government Affairs for Hylden Advocacy & Law, and provided lobbying services to the nonprofit “Feeding Our Future” organization at the center of a $250 million federal child nutrition fraud scandal.  Hylden spent a lot of resources streamlining government funding to fraudulent organizations, fought against auditing efforts, and greased the wheels for the benefit of non-existent welfare recipients.

Maybe Hylden donated to Frey’s political campaign. 

Tim Walz, the failed Vice-Presidential running mate of Kamala Harris, and Governor of Minnesota, fans the flames every day with his public statements.  Right now, the state of Minnesota is in open rebellion against the United States.  It will be incumbent upon President Trump to restore the union, much like Lincoln had to do in the Civil War.  Could Walz be bold enough to secede?  And if they did, which states would follow?  California would probably be the first to join the rebel cause.  I don’t believe it will go that far, but if it did, I’m not sure it would be worth the trouble to bring them back.  They aren’t worth the aggravation.  They are no longer Americans.  They are communists to the core, hell-bent on destroying the United States.  Marx himself said, “In short, the Communists everywhere support every revolutionary movement against the existing social and political order of things.” [2]

Who Are These People ?

There is widespread speculation that all of the chaos seen in Minneapolis was deployed to distract the inquisitive public eye from the recently discovered massive fraud scandal within the Somalian community exposed by independent journalist Nick Shirley.  These are not organic spontaneous “mostly peaceful” protests called by local activists.  These anti-ICE anarchists are highly organized and well-funded agitators organized from a command center. 

We’ve all heard about George Soros and his Open Society network of organizations.  What exactly are they and what are they up to?

The Open Society Foundations webpage headline says, “The Open Society Foundations work to build vibrant and inclusive democracies whose governments are accountable to their people” and brag that they spend $24.2 Billion in “Total Expenditures”.  Doesn’t that sound so noble, so righteous, so commendable?

Then they claim that “every year, the Open Society Foundations give grants to a diverse array of groups and individuals who promote our values – through a unique network that is guided by local voices and global expertise.”

I might argue that the “diverse array of groups” isn’t diverse at all.  It’s totally made up of over 1,000 NGOs that “promote” their values alright, but hardly “diverse”.  The “values” they promote are Marxist, communist ideologies dedicated to destroying free societies, like the United States.

They claim to fight for social justice and human rights of “marginalized communities”.  But they don’t really give a damn about the people, unless they are people they can fool into voting for them, repeatedly.  They bribe party loyalty with taxpayer-funded social programs, rife with fraud and corruption.  When one of their own is victimized by violence they staged, a martyr is born into folklore and exploited by the Propaganda Media Complex.  When an innocent woman is raped and murdered by one of their beloved illegal immigrants, the story is buried because it contradicts their narrative.  In other words, there is no compassion for the non-compliant.  Diversity of opinion is to be ridiculed, as suggested by Saul Alinsky, in his Rules for Radicals, in order to further the cause of revolution. 

They claim to support “independent journalism and media outlets to ensure free expression and access to information.”  What a joke.  The only “journalism” they support is pure communist propaganda that follows the doctrine of collectivism and compliance.  Any opposition to that agenda is selectively misrepresented, or totally censored from any coverage at all.  When you control information, you control the social consciousness by manipulation.  The so-called “mainstream media”, or “legacy” media, that dominates the news in America today, is the epitome of Joseph Goebells’ Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda, and a conglomerate of colluding reprobates he would be proud of.

Arrests

As of Friday 23 January 2026, over 3,000 arrests have been made by DHS in their ongoing sweep of illegal immigrants during “Operation Metro Surge”, that began in early December of 2025.

Additionally, over 100 anti-ICE protesters, including dozens of clergy members, were arrested at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport for disrupting operations.

Other than that, I’m not aware of any arrests of protesters besides the 22 January DOJ announcement that they had detained three individuals who led the disruption of church services at Cities Church of St. Paul, leading a mob of activists with chants of “ICE out” and “Justice for Renee Good”.

Arrested were Nekima Levy Armstrong, former President of the NAACP’s Minneapolis branch, a civil rights Attorney, and prominent local activist, and Chauntyll Louisa Allen, a key figure in the Twin Cities Black Lives Matter chapter, and current member of the School Board for St. Paul schools.

William Kelly, a U.S. Army vet and First Amendment activist, was arrested by Homeland Security investigators and taken into custody.

Attorney General Pam Bondi, cited them for violating 18 U.S. Code § 241, pertaining to conspiracy to oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in the free exercise or enjoyment of their religious rights. [3] 

Federal Judges released all three the next day on conditions they remain in Minnesota, stay off church property, and avoid contact with any witness or victim.  I’m assuming the DOJ has not dismissed their cases.   

Obama the Organizer Calls All the Shots

As for the organization of the protests, I have a proverbial conspiracy theory on the operational origins of these open displays of rebellion.  This is pure speculation, and I’m not claiming to be the “author” of the theory, as I’m pretty sure a lot of Patriots share the same perspective, but in my opinion, former President Obama is the mastermind orchestrating everything we see happening on behalf of the anti-Trump movement.  There is documented proof that he ordered the revision of the existing Intelligence Community Assessment in December 2016, to frame Trump as a Russian asset before he was inaugurated for his first term.  John Brennan and James Clapper were tasked to fabricate a new ICA that supported Hillary Clinton’s Russia hoax allegations, all which have subsequently been debunked.  Obama has been undermining the presidency of Trump ever since, efforts he continues to this day.

One of his favorite strategies, taken directly from Alinsky, is to maintain consistent pressure on your opponents by overwhelming as many systems as possible, simultaneously.  We have seen Obama challenge the status quo in healthcare, education, military readiness, critical infrastructure such as energy, and cultural values.  It’s all part of his master plan.  He is a Community Organizer at his core and he employs every tool at his disposal to infuriate the useful idiots that comprise his army of anarchists.  He is the only President who ever recruited such a vast network of activists to further his “fundamental transformation” of America agenda.  They are the organizers who announce the “protest schedule” and encourage their foot soldiers to show up at the next demonstration.  Evidently, these organizers are being paid through the Open Society network, probably after a few “wash cycles” in an attempt to cover their tracks.  It has  been asserted that  the aforementioned William Kelly, a frequent figure on the national stage of protests, arrested for his participation in the Cities Church of St. Paul, was paid $50,000 in Soros funds.  That remains to be proven, but if the funding can be tracked, Soros himself could be the subject of RICO charges.

So, as the theory goes, Obama decides where the next protest needs to rear its ugly head, calls up Soros to notify the organizers and arranges payments, and “voila”, the mob descends on the city of the week.  These are not organic grass-root protests.  The foot soldiers roll into town to display professionally produced signage that carry the same group of slogans across the country.  They claim to be compassionate while the agitators encourage violence that destroys neighborhoods.  Chaos is their goal.  They entice escalation with federal authorities, often as local police are ordered to stand down by their “Sanctuary City” Mayors.  They want to maximize confrontation, because they have yet to fear any consequences.  It is open rebellion meant to provoke Trump into invoking the Insurrection Act, which just so happens to be part of Obama’s master plan.

In the Summer of 2016, an Obama appointee top the Pentagon, named Rosa Brooks, conducted a series of war games that offered strategies for Democrats in the event of a potential Trump victory that November.  On July 31, 2016, they published their plan in four separate outlets.  It was titled, “Is the Left Preparing for War if Trump Wins?”.  The scenario we are witnessing today is one of Brooks’ strategies, that is to provoke Trump to utilize the Insurrection Act, send military troops into chaotic uprisings, and criticize Trump as a tyrannical fascist.  That’s why Democrats have been calling him “Hitler”.  Goebells said, “If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself.”  The objective of the Brooks model was to drive a wedge between military personnel who would obey their Commander-in-Chief and those who theoretically might question direct orders if they were contradictory to their oath to preserve the Constitution.  That’s why Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and the Seditious Six made the video insinuating that the military was not obligated to follow “illegal” orders.  That may be true, but of course, any orders Trump issues regarding the Insurrection Act, would be justifiably legal in an attempt to quell an open rebellion.  The Seditious Six conveniently failed to elaborate on that distinction.  It’s almost like every strand of this web of corruption leads to the same “spider”.

GOP Electors Targeted by Jan 6 Committee

Thomas Paine: American Philosopher, & Revolutionary

From 1776 through the formation of The Constitution I helped create America. Now I have returned to help save America. Please join my Facebook group American Patriots in a free and open discussion to further the cause of FREEDOM.  

GOP Electors in seven battleground states have been targeted by the Jan 6 Committee for submitting false slates of electors in dispute of the certified slates presented to Congress.

The U. S. House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol began hearing testimony on July 27th 2021 and by the end of the year, had interviewed over 300 witnesses.  They now have a much broader criminal conspiracy in their sights.  They are alleging that the Trump team orchestrated a massive scheme to coerce all seven battleground states to submit alternate certificates, file lawsuits, and have Vice President Mike Pence not accept the Biden slates on January 6th, then follow that with a planned insurrection if all else failed.

Of course if all of that were true, there should be consequences and legislation should be introduced to amend the statutes in an effort to eliminate that possibility from happening again.  But are those allegations true, or was the Trump team simply following a completely legal precedent set by presidential candidate John F. Kennedy in 1960?

On December 14th 2020, as 20 “prominent Democrats” gathered in Harrisburg Pennsylvania with then Secretary of State, Kathy Boockvar, to certify that Joe Biden had defeated Trump by about 80,000 votes, 20 Republicans were meeting at another location to sign alternate certificates for submittal to the National Archives and Congress, as required by law.  The Republicans called their conditional maneuver a “procedural vote”, claiming they were cast just in case a court ruling overturned Biden’s victory.  GOP State Chairman Bernie Comfort stated, “We took this procedural vote to preserve any legal claims that may be presented going forward.  This was in no way an effort to usurp or contest the will of the Pennsylvania voters.” [1]

Is that maneuver legal, or does it represent fraud, or forgery, as the January 6th Committee alleges?

From the verbatim excerpt of a Politico article [2], it’s obvious that the Trump legal team felt confident in the legality of submitting what some states said were conditional slates of electors, to wit:

“Republicans at the time emphasized that their decision to hold unsanctioned elector votes had a precedent. In 1960, three Democratic electors from Hawaii met to cast votes for John F. Kennedy, even though the election results showed that Richard Nixon had narrowly prevailed in the state. With a recount underway, those pro-Kennedy electors met to cast their votes anyway and submitted those results to Congress and the National Archives, the clearinghouse for elector certificates.

Hawaii’s recount ultimately reversed the outcome, showing Kennedy had won by fewer than 200 votes, and the state’s governor then certified the Democratic slate as well. On Jan. 6, 1961, the Democratic electors were the ones counted by Congress, with Nixon, then vice president, presiding.”

In the Hawaii case, a recount had narrowly overturned the results in Kennedy’s favor in time for the Governor to certify the Democrat slate, but those differences are not relevant because there were limited recounts in 2020 and Trump had pending lawsuits.  The legal basis established in the Kennedy case, was similar in that the opposing party submitted alternate slates of electors pending some future decision.

Of the seven contested battleground states (AZ, GA, MI, NV, NC, PA, and WI), only Georgia performed a statewide recount, and Wisconsin recounted votes in two counties.  None of the recount efforts produced any significant results that would have overturned the electoral votes.  Trump filed six lawsuits in Pennsylvania, challenging the vote counting process, primarily due to election laws being unconstitutionally modified without going through the state legislature.  All those suits were dismissed, and all of which takes time.

From the same Politico article, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), member of the January 6th Committee, said, “We want to look at the fraudulent activity that was contained in the preparation of these fake Electoral College certificates.”  Apparently, he is either ignorant of the 1960 precedent, or he was misrepresenting the facts, and expects the public to take his word for it.

Referring back to the Philadelphia Inquirer article [3], the Pennsylvania officials having hedged their maneuver by attaching the caveat that those certificates should only be counted in the event of Trump’s legal victory, seems to have dodged the forgery charge.  It would be reasonable to afford the same leniency to the other five states (AZ, GA, MI, NV, and WI) that submitted the alternate certificates, in consideration of the Kennedy precedent. 

Food for thought:  If the entire legal challenge had been coordinated from the White House, don’t you think that each state would have submitted their alternate slates under the exact same advice?  Why was Pennsylvania the only state submitting with the aforementioned caveat?  Without any evidence that those states colluded to collectively overturn the election, the entire Democrat conspiracy theory is deflated.

Trump’s Incitement to Riot

Thomas Paine: American Philosopher, & Revolutionary

From 1776 through the formation of The Constitution I helped create America. Now I have returned to help save America. Please join my Facebook group American Patriots in a free and open discussion to further the cause of FREEDOM.  

Could Trump’s January 6th rally be considered “Incitement to Riot”? Federal judge, Amit Mehta, appointed by Barack Obama on Dec 22nd 2014 to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, seems to think so. He has reprimanded Jesse Binnall, lawyer for former President Donald J. Trump, to “stick with the facts”, [1] in a hearing on Monday, January 10th, 2022, concerning Trump’s alleged incitement to riot at a rally held on January 6th, 2021, that preceded the so-called “insurrection” on the U.S. Capitol.

Binnell has claimed, correctly, that Trump told the crowd,

“I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.” [2]

Judge Mehta claims that qualifying statement should be ignored because later in the speech Trump said, “And we fight. We fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”

What Business Insider and the MSM in general don’t want you to know, is the context of that statement.  Just a few sentences prior to the abovementioned quote Trump said, “We are the greatest country on Earth and we are headed and we’re headed in the right direction.

You know, the wall is built. We’re doing record numbers at the wall. Now, they want to take down the wall. Let’s let everyone flow in. Let’s let everybody flow in. We did a great job in the wall. Remember, the wall, they said it could never be done. One of the largest infrastructure projects we’ve ever had in this country, and it’s had a tremendous impact, that we got rid of catch and release. We got rid of all of this stuff that we had to live with.  But now, the caravans, I think Biden’s getting in, the caravans are forming again. They want to come in again and rip off our country. Can’t let it happen.  As this enormous crowd shows, we have truth and justice on our side. We have a deep and enduring love for America in our hearts. We love our country.  We have overwhelming pride in this great country and we have it deep in our souls. Together, we are determined to defend and preserve government of the people, by the people and for the people.”

Frankly, the media doesn’t show any respect whatsoever to their followers.  They just assume people are too lazy and too stupid to investigate anything on their own.  They are counting on the masses to believe anything they say, and don’t care about anyone who questions their “authority”, ridiculing all opposition as conspiracy theorists.  The media controls the social consciousness and if they want to put a certain spin on a story through omission, or deception, that’s what most folks will believe.

Elsewhere in the speech Trump said, “There’s so many weak Republicans. And we have great ones. Jim Jordan and some of these guys, they’re out there fighting. The House guys are fighting.”

Trump is using the word “fighting” in a different context than actual fisticuffs and acts of violence, you know, just like Democrats “fight” for their favorite causes.  Evidently, when it comes to Trump, Mehta thinks “fighting” can only be physical and violent. He’s painted himself as a moron.  

Mehta also forced Trump lawyers to explain his “hours of silence” during the January 6th attack, asking in court whether the President’s “inaction could be considered a tacit endorsement of the day’s violence”.

To which Binnett replied, “”The president cannot be subject to judicial action for any sort of damages for failing to do something,”  Trump didn’t even “fail to do something” at all, he did go on Twitter just two hours after the initial breach of the Capitol and called for his supporters to disband and go home.  But apparently there is a two hour time limit for such action to be recognized.

The headline of an NBC News article, dated Jan 14, 2021, [3] admitted that, “Trump’s speech is probably defensible in every court – except, perhaps, the Senate”.  In other words, even the far-left media admits there was no incitement to riot as defined by the actual federal statute.  They further admit that a speaker is not automatically liable for the actions of anyone who was at an intended peaceful demonstration, the speaker must have the intent to engage in the criminal conduct.

View the full text of the actual statute; 18 U.S. Code § 2101 – Riots at:

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2101

Of course, despite the Democrat controlled House impeachment of Trump , the Senate acquitted him of “incitement of insurrection” on Feb 13th 2021. 

Yet here we are, almost a year later, entertaining oral arguments in civil lawsuits brought by House Democrats and Capitol Police, determined to destroy a political comeback by any means necessary.  Maybe Judge Mehta should be advised of the facts.  Instead, we are awaiting the absurd findings of a kangaroo court.
