Let’s take a closer look at what’s really happening in Minneapolis—because this pseudo-military operation is being sold to the public as a bunch of ordinary Minneapolis folks quietly making posters in their basements. That story collapses under even mild scrutiny. This isn’t organic outrage. This is organized chaos. And the first question that matters is simple: who benefits? Because it sure isn’t the people who actually live there.

Minneapolis residents benefit when criminals are removed from their streets. They benefit from law enforcement doing its job. They benefit from ICE enforcing the law. So when you see coordinated efforts working directly against those outcomes, you should immediately assume something bigger is at play. These far-left agitators are not acting in their own interests—they’re serving someone else’s.

So who gains from unrest?

Domestically, the answer is obvious. Democrats don’t want to lose their voters. And yes, many of the illegal aliens at the center of this fight are viewed by Democrats as future—or already counted—Democrat voters.

Let’s be blunt. Democrat politicians do not care about Alex Pretti or Renee Good. What they care about is narrative and numbers. A martyr is useful. A tragedy is exploitable. And that’s why Minnesota’s leadership has shown no interest in cooling things down. Governor Tim Walz comparing Alex Pretti to Anne Frank—the child martyr of the Holocaust—isn’t accidental or careless rhetoric. It’s deliberate myth-making.

This kind of wordplay is strategic. Walz ensures Pretti’s death serves a political purpose—elevating him to martyr status and grotesquely likening anarchist street violence to Nazi atrocities. It reframes radical unrest as moral heroism.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has done his part as well, repeatedly describing ICE’s presence as an “invasion” that must end. In the context of ongoing riots, that language functions as a rallying cry—effectively telling agitators to take up arms against their own country.

So what are these leaders so desperate to distract from?

Start with the money. At least $9 billion in fraud has been allowed to be siphoned away from Minnesota taxpayers under their watch. Senate Republicans have now launched a probe into how that happened.

A convicted Minnesota fraudster has come forward alleging that Governor Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison were fully aware of the widespread fraud despite publicly claiming otherwise. That allegation alone should stop any honest observer in their tracks.

And now the stakes have escalated further. Walz, Frey, and other Minnesota officials have been subpoenaed by the Department of Justice for potential obstruction of immigration enforcement—accused of directly interfering with ICE operations well beyond press conferences and public statements.

Then there’s the voter roll issue. Minnesota is refusing to hand over voter roll information to the Justice Department amid concerns of systemic voter fraud tied to—you guessed it—many of these same networks.

If there’s nothing to hide, why hide?

At this point, it’s no longer unreasonable to believe Democrats have their hands directly in the middle of this unrest, fanning the flames for political survival.

And the cast of characters keeps getting stranger.

Minneapolis’ Director of Emergency Management is Rachel Sayre, a former USAID director with a résumé heavy on regime-change operations abroad. Is it really “conspiracy” to ask whether someone who helped destabilize foreign governments might be comfortable doing something similar here?

Then there’s Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, accused of being an administrator in Signal chats used to coordinate unrest under the pseudonym “Flan Southside.” Her office denies it—but given her history of leading protests, the accusation isn’t exactly implausible.

Other Democrats haven’t even bothered to deny involvement. Minnesota State Representative Brad Tabke openly distributed a Zoom link for an “ICE Watch” training seminar.

What did that seminar teach? How to obstruct ICE agents. How to use whistles, follow vehicles, exploit hierarchy, and overwhelm law enforcement through coordinated harassment. This is not protesting. This is operational planning.

This is a pseudo-military operation designed to destabilize the United States.

These tactics are meant to disorient ICE agents—to overload their nervous systems with whistles, horns, screaming crowds, and physical intimidation. When agents don’t know who’s armed, who’s violent, or who’s about to escalate, tragedy becomes inevitable.

That’s how Alex Pretti died.

Not because ICE “targeted” him—but because these tactics almost always end with someone getting hurt. Pretti himself reportedly suffered a broken rib in a prior confrontation with agents just one week earlier. The warning signs were there. This was the predictable outcome of engineered chaos.

And the threat doesn’t stop at America’s borders.

After President Trump’s recent appearance in Davos, the message was unmistakable: the United States will no longer subordinate its interests to global elites. America First isn’t a slogan anymore—it’s policy.

That reset has rattled Europe and even close neighbors like Canada, many of whom are now openly calling for a “new world order” that conveniently excludes American dominance. They warn that America is “returning to the 19th century,” a claim my friend Susan Kokinda breaks down powerfully.

History offers a sobering lesson. Empires—Britain especially—have long sponsored internal revolutions to destabilize rival nations. Drug trafficking, political agitation, and “moral” justifications were tools of imperial control, not accidents.

Which brings us back to Minneapolis.

Within one of the Signal chats coordinating unrest, a resource file directs donors to “Stand with Minnesota,” which funnels money to a campaign run by Tending the Soil on Chuffed. The first donation came from Jonny Soppo-tiuk, a Canada-based organizer and Chuffed leadership figure who specializes in fundraising.

Why is a Canadian central to funding protests in Minneapolis?

That question alone should unsettle you.

Foreign entities have plenty to gain from America in turmoil. Similar destabilization efforts are underway abroad—Shanghai offers a telling comparison.

Meanwhile, the Department of Defense has released a new National Defense Strategy that puts America first in unmistakable terms: defend the homeland, deter China, force allies to share the burden, and rebuild American industrial power.

That strategy directly threatens the old global order—especially nations that benefited from American weakness, subsidized defense, and unchecked drug trafficking routes.

For too long, America paid the bill while others cashed the checks. That era is ending.

And when empires lose influence, they don’t go quietly.

This is not grassroots activism. It’s not spontaneous outrage. And it’s definitely not about justice.

It’s a psyop.

The United States is under coordinated attack from enemies foreign and domestic—and Minneapolis is just one battlefield.

Don’t fall for it.
