In the latest ICE shooting in Minnesota, it turns out that the “protester” was armed with a semi-automatic pistol instead of a vehicle. One question is whether the shooting was justified. A more important question is why are Democrats protesting against legitimate federal law enforcement, thereby escalating protest into violence?
It seems clear that the protests have evolved into insurrection against federal authority. Whether or not the insurrection is treasonous depends on who is behind it. If it is a foreign power, such as China, which some conservatives believe, then the Minneapolis protesters are engaged in aiding and abetting a foreign power, and therefore the protests constitute treason, but if the protests are funded by, for example, George Soros, then it is just a protest financed by a philanthropist even though it does the same amount of damage.
To get back to the real question, why the protests? Why are some citizens of Minnesota opposed to US enforcement against illegal aliens who are in the United States illegally? President Trump won his office partly due to his opposition to the Democrat Party’s policy of open borders. Trump and ICE are merely conforming to the electorate’s wishes. Why is the mayor of Minneapolis and the governor of Minnesota aiding and betting, if not leading, protests against federal law enforcement removing illegal aliens from the United States?
It seems to be the case that the mayor and governor are aligned against democracy. They disregard the voice of the people. They align injustice with deporting people who are in the country illegally. They associate justice with the right of the world to claim residency in the United States and the benefits and support that is given to them at taxpayer expense.
This is a strange position for American citizens in Minnesota to take. They have taken the side of lawbreakers against their own government and against the voice of the people in the presidential election. Protesters in Minnesota are aligned with illegality against legality.
Protesters are escalating the confrontation into violence. The protesters understand that spitting on ice officers, throwing objects at them and epithets, and coming to protests armed raises the stress on ICE agents, and shortens their fuse in the hopes of provoking violence that can be used to further escalate the protest into more violence.
What can be done? If ICE is too severely restrained, the protesters will see it as an opportunity to increase violence. If ICE is permitted to respond to violence with violence, the protesters will use the violence to further escalate violence.
Clearly, this is a dangerous situation. So why do the mayor of Minneapolis and the governor of Minnesota increase this stress by supporting it?
Clearly, things are extremely wrong in America when Minnesota’s political leadership rejects the democratic decision that Americans do not want open borders and do not accept the millions of illegal residents that open borders have brought to America. When efforts are made to conform immigration to law, the Democratic Party erupts in violent protest, hoping to stimulate violence from federal agents that the Democrats can use to further escalate the confrontation.
How exactly can Americans vote for the Democratic Party when it is clear that the policy of the Democratic Party is to divide and destroy the unity of the country?
Yet many Americans are incapable of comprehending the situation. Just under half of the voting population votes Democrat.
Are we faced with an American population that has no comprehension of survival? It seems clear that the Democrat’s policy of open borders is succeeding in tearing the country apart.

Children abused for decades at Tony Blair’s former school
Story by Simon Johnson
Child sexual abuse was known about but allowed to continue for decades at Sir Tony Blair’s former school, an inquiry has concluded.
Prominent homosexuals were welcomed and ask3d for a donation for access to the boys
The Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry said there had been a “shameful” failure to safeguard pupils at Fettes College in Edinburgh, with known abusers protected instead.
Leon Brittan would arrive with Greville Janner and fake psychic Yuri Geller, Stephen Fry and Kenny Everet Cliff Richard at odd times
Lady Smith, who is heading the inquiry, said “many children would have been saved from abuse” if complaints had been listened to at the outset but there was a “culture of threats to silence”.
She said members of staff had sexually abused pupils from the 1950s until the 1980s, with the perpetrators including teachers and a former headmaster.
Anthony Chenevix-Trench was appointed head despite Eton, his former school, warning Fettes that he had an alcohol problem and “a propensity to beat boys bare bottoms excessively”.
The inquiry also highlighted abuse by a teacher Iain Wares saying he had been asked to leave other jobs because of incidents involving small boys and this had become the “norm” in his career.
The enquiry by the UK column said homosexual abuse of boys in 16 london care homes and schools was on an industrial scale
Rapper DigDat jailed for life over Notting Hill drive-by shooting of rival artist
Story by Sam Corbishley•©Metro
Rapper DigDat has been jailed for life over a drive-by shooting that very nearly killed a man. The 26-year-old, real name Nathan Tokosi, was one of at least two people in a stolen Audi that pulled up alongside Daniel Offei-Ntow’s Mitsubishi Outlander in Notting Hill on November 20, 2023. At least six shots were fired from a rear passenger window, hitting Mr Offei-Ntow in the head, mouth and body, prosecutor Kate Bex KC told the Old Bailey. Rival gangs The London Posse and the Enfield Nigs clashed over a turf war and a show of force at the Notting Hll carnival on a rivals territory, brought the violence
All of the immigrant invaders vote democrat. None of the true americans do. Like everywhere else, most don’t vote at all. Your “democracy” is a bag of horseshit. It ain’t even hobson’s choice. It’s no choice and no way out.
It’s all virtue signaling Jew bullshit, one big mental clusterfuck on the unsuspecting libtard brainpan.
Trump has at the very least another 8 months to bring it all down to its knees. Most importantly, and it should be a huge priority, is getting the voting system secure in every State, otherwise the Jewish Mafia will cheat again and keep their madness alive, at the ready for the next Jewish Mafia administration, at which point they will proceed like lightning to take this nation DOWN, kinda like the way cancer returns WITH A VENGEANCE.
You are taking us in the wrong direction Pal, those protestors are also from the same theatre dept as those so called federal agents. All actors pretending to be shooting other actors, while real cops of minn’ are no where. Minnesota is the home of the Great G Floyd Fake, the entire state might be fake, with gangster governors n mayors, quietly moving on with the distribution of commodities (fentanyl, humans) onto the interstate roads. It is a pretend civil war and real Americans are ignoring it. No one is buying it.
i like that mr. crowley guy
Couldn’t get past the first paragraph.
LOL..
PCR logic..or is it more…
he blathers thus:
“It seems clear that the protests have evolved into insurrection against federal authority. Whether or not the insurrection is treasonous depends on who is behind it. If it is a foreign power, such as China, which some conservatives believe, then the Minneapolis protesters are engaged in aiding and abetting a foreign power, and therefore the protests constitute treason, but if the protests are funded by, for example, George Soros, then it is just a protest financed by a philanthropist even though it does the same amount of damage.”
So..if charlie chan is behind the curtain..that’s definitely treason…but if it’s a jewe philanthropath..burrowing through your culture, and one of many..then that’s alright but a bit naughty.. but defo not treason…
You see that’s how PCR NLP’s the imbeciles that follow his schtick and think he’s some great voice of reason..when really he’s just a company man…blowing bubbles at the muggles..
The commercial ‘media’ has NEVER supported original America since its takeover by the Canaanite jews & their like minded racial comrades post 1865. Audio/visual/print media & curricula have been altered to favor nonwhites over Shemites, in accordance with the Will of Canaan, located in the talmud.
Perhaps a return to a ‘whites only’ mentality is the solution by God’s original design. For 3000 years ‘whites only’ has been used as the psychological mechanism to reject this solution.
