Or Just A Pawn In A Bigger Game?

Given the tepid response of American patriots to the Communist coup last November, Kyle Rittenhouse´s murder of two Antifa thugs who were attacking him is a refreshing instance of resistance.

But, was this also a psy op?

On Aug. 25, 2020, as Kenosha, Wisconsin was plunged into chaos, Kyle Rittenhouse – a 17-year-old from Illinois – made headlines after he discharged a Smith & Wesson M&P15 rifle, killing two people and injuring one, in what many believe was an act of self-defence.

Rittenhouse took the 30 minute trip from his home in Antioch, Illinois to Kenosha to answer the call of Kevin Mathewson. Mathewson had formed a militia, known as The Kenosha Guard. Mathewson intended to assist the police and protect the local businesses.

Looting and rioting had engulfed the city as a result of the shooting of 29-year-old African American, Jacob Blake, by a local police officer two days prior.

Amidst the bedlam, and as the city burned, Rittenhouse was pursued by a group of rioters, which included 36-year-old, Joseph Rosenbaum, through a parking lot. As Rosenbaum was giving chase, gunshots could be heard which prompted Rittenhouse to turn around and shoot the man four times, fatally perforating his liver and lung. This would elicit more rioters to give chase to Rittenhouse. One of them, 26-year-old, Anthony Huber, eventually caught up with him, struck him with a skateboard and attempted to wrestle Rittenhouse’s rifle from his hands. In the struggle, Rittenhouse fired another shot; this one hitting Huber in the heart and killing him instantly.
