The Second Civil War in the United States has begun. This may prove to be hyperbole, but we’ll see.
Just as happened in 1861, rogue state-level governments began an insurgency against the lawful authority of the federal government. The recognition that the country really was in a civil war did not happen when the shots were fired at Fort Sumter. It was not until a few years into what was in fact a gradually escalating conflict that the recognition that this was a war dawned on the American conscience.
Once again, a rogue state government is organising an armed insurrection against the lawful authority of the federal government. Armed and violent rebels are establishing parallel governance structures. If you don’t believe this, you’re not paying attention.
In particular, to the new revelations of a vast network of far-left organisations who are running a systematic insurrection in Minnesota – networks that include state government officials.
Networks that have adopted the Pallywood model of doing whatever they can to provoke an official reaction that they can film for propaganda, which is why these so-called ‘protesters’ are taking their babies to riots: if they can get footage of a tot copping tear-gas, that’s pure gold for the same legacy media who endlessly parrot Hamas propaganda.
And if someone gets themselves killed? Instant ‘martyr’.
The skirmish that led to Saturday's fatal shooting of an agitator by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis and the response that followed were driven by a complex network of far-left organizations with a wide range of causes, a Fox News Digital investigation found.
A coordinated web of encrypted chats, street alerts and tracking of ICE “Abductors” in a sophisticated database reviewed by Fox News Digital shows that agitators were already mobilized at the scene where 37-year-old Alex Pretti was killed minutes before any shots were fired.
ICE and Border Patrol agents were there to arrest an illegal immigrant criminal, and Pretti and others were there, outside a donut shop, to meet them as part of a strategic pattern of organized interference with law enforcement operations.
The well-oiled insurrection machine immediately swung into action.
Over the following hours, a national network of socialist, communist and Marxist-Leninist cells in the United States leveraged the tragic fatality into a nationwide protest operation. While grief and outrage over Pretti's death is genuine, the network’s real-time rapid response, using short sensational video clips and emojis as weapons of propaganda, offers a window into the disciplined logistics, messaging and coordination of far-left warriors fomenting insurgency-like confrontation with authorities.
The insurgents are using a complex set of emoji-based codes to track what they believe to be ICE vehicles and organise insta-mobs to swarm the scenes. Within minutes of Pretti’s death, fellow insurgents were using the Signal group to call for ‘backup’.
The groups are behaving as exactly what they are: paramilitary thugs. Ordinary citizens whose cars are wrongly identified as federal vehicles are followed for hours, mobbed at traffic lights and beaten and chased. One video shows an insurgent demanding to see a young woman’s “papers” to prove she’s not ICE.
Agents are regularly attacked, leaving them bloodied and injured. If insurgents are able to get a shot of their faces, they use computer software to almost immediately obtain the agent’s identity, including home address. A hotel where federal agents – not even ICE – were stationed was swarmed and ransacked.
If this isn’t an armed insurrection, then what is?
Worse: it’s obvious just how organised and well-funded it all is, begging the question of where the money and expertise is coming from.
Within minutes [of Pretti’s shooting], far-left activists descended on Nicollet Avenue. Soon after, a video showed corrugated boxes of supplies apparently lined up on a Minneapolis sidewalk for protesters, including boxes marked “DESINER MASKS” [sic] and “FREE WINTER HATS, next to piles of bottled water […]
The Minneapolis activation marked the beginning of an almost instantaneous weekend surge by far-left organizations, including hardened socialist and communist groups operating in an ecosystem that national security experts describe as an insurgent-style operation designed to exploit tragedy to wage a domestic political war.
So, who’s behind it? Some very sinister forces indeed.
Based on a digital analysis of scores of rapid-response messages following the killing on Saturday, a hub of communist and socialist nonprofit organizations emerged as key organizers of the protests. Many of them are funded by American-born billionaire Neville Roy Singham, a self-declared Marxist-Leninist living in Shanghai. Some are also offshoots of the People’s Forum Inc., a nonprofit hub Singham has funded in New York City since 2017 as an “incubator” for socialist and communist groups. The People’s Forum declined requests for comment[…]
BreakThrough News put a dramatic black-and-white caption over the video: “BREAKING: Another CBP Shooting in Minneapolis.” By Sunday afternoon, the video had 4.1 million views, alongside the outlet’s calls to support the People’s Republic of China, Venezuela’s Maduro and the communist revolution in Cuba.
Naturally, the legacy media are their eager accomplices.
By evening, CNN was reporting from the 4 pm protest in New York City but did not identify the ideological affiliations of the organizers, even as activists openly carried signs from the Party for Socialism and Liberation, with the group’s full name printed across the bottom.
Another CNN segment from Minneapolis interviewed Chris Gray, describing him only as Pretti’s “next-door neighbor.” Gray spoke about Pretti while delivering a well-scripted appeal for a general strike to dismantle the “Trump regime” and promote “non-violent resistance.” The segment did not disclose that Gray is a member of Socialist Alternative, the US affiliate of the International Socialist Alternative, a “global fighting organization of workers, young people, and all those oppressed by capitalism and imperialism,” seeking to create a “socialist world.”
But it goes even higher than that. State politicians are deeply involved. Minnesota state rep Alex Falconer is captured on a video shared by Libs of Tik Tok openly admitting that he is “helping to lead” the “rapid response network… on the app Signal”. The insurgents’ licence plate database includes information that could only have come from the state government.
Now, these same highly organised, well-funded, state-run paramilitary insurgents have established an “autonomous zone” in Minneapolis.
Tell me how this isn’t civil war.
