The Minnesota Riots Are Part Of A Bigger Picture


What is the big deal about Minnesota that has kept the US state, just one of 50, that has kept it at the forefront of world news for most of this month. The killing by Immigration Officers of two protesters who were trying to disrupt the agencies efforts to arrest, for deportation, illegal immigrants were stories that might by themselves have attracted attention for a day or two (no disrespect to the victims but there are killings everywhere, every day).

But there is nore to the situation in Minnesota that these fatal attempts by 'woke' liberals to potect illegal immigrants from the law. Sensationalist news coverage of ICE activitie is only concealing the real problem.

Minnesota has been shaken by an organised fraud scandal that prosecutors estimate has already cost the stte government more than $1bn (£730m) in misappropriated funds, including cash that was meant to help the hungry or educate kids from families who cannot speak English.. According to The New York Times (NYT) – not generally known for conservative political leanings – out of 86 people charged by agents investigating the fraud network, all but eight were Somali (and the majority of them in the USA legally); a lawyer for defendants insists her clients thought the fraud was being tolerated; and the state was threatened with accusations of racism if it didn’t sign the cheques. 

Other states in the US hve problems related to mass immigration and illegal immigration so what is special about this case?  Minnesota, it seems, has a particular problem with Somali Nationals, for reasons unexplained there are absolutely huge Somali immigrant communities in the state's cities and big towns. They elected a Somali congress woman who spends most of her time trying to subvert the rile of law and calling white people 'racist.' 

The State Governor Tim Waltz, remember him  - the Vive Presidential candidate in Kamala Harris' ill fated election campaign, declared Minnesota a 'Sanctuary State', i.e. the state government undertook to protect illegals within its borders from efforts to remove them.. Evidence shows Tim is not the sharpest knife in the box and during his tome as State Governor the immigrants and their virtue signalling leftist enablers have run rings round him.. 

As long ago as the 1990s, after an influx of refugees from civil war, Somali’s were granted Temporary Protected Status due to their own country being unsafe for their return. They brought families and family members brought their families and so on, African extended families extend infinitely. 

The organised fraud that has now come to light because of the investigative journalism of a single YouTuber named Nick Shirley is centred on Somali communities, is staggering in scale and was allowed to happen under the Biden administration. Trump has recently removed Temp Protected Status, we believe. 

 The authorities in Minnesota have let in people who had no right to enter the USA and have badly abused their host nation and its people. Those who do not have a legal right to be in the USA were given chance to leave voluntarily. When they declined and left wing activists launched a campaign to stop deportations, the Trump administration. ordered a crackdown on illegals and, being a rare president of his word, Trump set a  target of 3,000 arrests a day.  The Immigration and Customes Enforcement (ICE) recruited more than 12,000  agents to meet it.

ICE is enforcing laws that already exist, and two-thirds of those arrested have been previously imprisoned or charged, 7 per cent of them for violence. 

 ICE are having to act this way due to the attacks on them and their families. The 'peaceful' protestors are taking lethal weapons to their 'peaceful' protests and have obtained personal information for ICE agents and threatened their families.  If you go to a protest with weapons, your intentions can only be read one way. ICE are having to act this way due to the attacks on them and their families. If you go to a protest with weapons, your intentions can only be read one way.

The  situation in Minnesota is a local one, but the challenge of dealing with the problems caused by illegal mass immigration - resulting in an influx of people who are not interested in assimilating - is apparent across the USA and in Europe and Australia. This unwillingness to integrate of immigrants from tribal societies with very different moral values in turn leads to culture clashes. Matters have been aggravated by the criminal element associated with some of the groups coming in. 

The UK is suffering a similar challenge from illigal immigration as is Spain which we reported on recently. In my mind, there can be no doubt Trump is right to want to deport the criminals and those ethnic groups that seek to impose their values on the host nation. In all processes there will be unfortunate instances. I feel sorry for the families of the people who were shot. But I also feel sorry for those in the USA who have been robbed, injured, raped and forced out of certain areas by these aggressive immigrants. So on balance I would support mass deportations, as at least that enables the host nation to settle down and reassert its identity and rules. Immigration is something that can happen, but it needs to be managed - which is not what has been happening at all.

We either defend Western Civilisation or we don’t. The rule of law, tolerance, free speech, freedom of religion etc or balkanised anarchy where might is right. The cost is unavoidable if you want the former not the latter. Sheep always want the easy life to avoid confrontation at all costs. Only sheep dogs will keep the wolves at bay. The sheep dogs are on the political right.

Media Coverage Of The Latest Killing By ICE Agents In Minneapolis Is Concealing The Real Problems In That City

 

 

This level of engineered chaos is unique to Minneapolis. It is the direct consequence of far left agitators, working with local authorities. - J D Vance on X

What Vice-President Vance says here is very important because for two decades a cancer of rampant financial fraud has been permitted to spread throughout the Minneapolis region and has now reached the stage of visible metastasis.

Why am I as a British observer interested in what shoukd really be a news story of little interest to the world outside the USA? Because what Vance refers to is not just happpening in Minnesota but all over the USA, here in Britain and across Europe too.

I will expand on that point later but first we should cast our minds back to the incident that put Minnesota and its racial and organised crime problems at the top of the news worldwide, the death of George Floyd. 

The initial contact between Floyd and police on that occasion was about Floyd trying to pay a business with a counterfeit $20 bill. Follow that trail paper trail and you end up looking at unconfirmed reports of a huge money laundering operation. where it seemed like millions of counterfeit dollars were entering the country through Mexico, going by rail into the U.S. mainland and emerging, fukky cleaned, through the Minneapolis regional economy, with the knowledge of the state government and law enforcement agencies.

It could all be a conspiracy theory of course, and I'm sure many people will be quick to claim it is. Fortunately there is plenty of evidence to suggest that even if not correct in every detail, the story should be taken seriously. It is also urgently necessary that governments and officials at all levels acknowledge the massively disrupitive effects of the past two decades mass immigration on the social and economic cohesion of developed nations.

According to US based independent reporters corrupt activity focused on immigrant communities in the Minneapolis area has been apparent for around two decades, with police, local authorities and the state government happy to turn a blind eye in a sage reminiscent of the cover up by athorities at all levels of the UKs grooming gangs scandal. That too has links to other criminal activity but so far, due to the authorities determinatin to cover up the scandal, links to drug dealing, people trafficking and widespread abuse of the UK's over generous welfare system and our free at the point of deviery health service. It would take far too long to go into other nations' poblems, suffice to say they differ only in local circumstances.

To keep the focus on current events in Minneapolis and the background to them, there are two basic components to these organised crime operations, local financial fraud and government complicity.

 The local fraud represented millions and involved fake businesses, counterfeit goods/money and laundering operations.. 

The government role involves billions of dollars in taxpayers money, the awardng of lucrative state contracts and grants to businesses, agencies and charities that only existed on paper without proper scrutiny and involves abuses of federal tax monies.

Almost all elements of the economic and social structure in the State of Minnesota are compromised.  As we have seen in the last several weeks, the HHS (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services) and CMS (Centres for Medical Services,) fraud is  so extensive the federal investigation has now spread to several other U S states. Such a level of illegal activity cannot possibly exist without the knowledge, aid and assistance of the regional and municipal government officials.

Fraudulent day cares, schools from immigrant children, healthcare services, transport companies, “Health Outreach Services” and various governmental offices all involved in bleeding taxpayers for billions upon billions. On investigators estimate is that over fifty percent of all economic activity -in the entire region- is based on fraud.

Zero Hedge notes: 

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement actions are the surface level issue for the regional and state government.  However, it is the widespread financial fraud that turns the activity of the leftist agitators on the street into a useful tool for the regional officials to manipulate in order to hide the true financial fraud that surrounds the area.

The “local authorities” are working with the “far left agitators” because the Minneapolis region is a network of codependent fraud.

The police are compromised. The judges and courts are compromised. The local municipal officials are compromised. The mayor’s office is compromised, and the corruption issue spreads out to the state level when Governor Tim Walz previously shut down audits of the financial crimes and then state officials ignored whistleblowers.

All of the private and public institutions -within the system of regional and state government- are connected to a statewide network of financial fraud, from counterfeit money laundering to exploitation of federal government benefits; it is all connected to the same network of fraud.

It hardly needs to be pointed out that none of this background was mentioned in mainstream media reporting of the death of Alex Pretti on a street in Minneapolis during a protest against the activities of Federal ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) tasked with tracking down and arresting illegal immigrants or the recent shooting of another protesor, Renee Nicole Good who was trying to disrupt an ICE raid on a property believed to be used as a hostel for illegal immigrants. Instead we get lurid, sensationalist headlines like these:

"Graphic footage shows moment 37-year-old was killed after being wrestled to the ground."
“Crystal clear new video raises horrifying questions about killing of Minneapolis nurse by DHS.”  

Both of these deadly protests were part of the 'engineered chaos' referred to in the opening quoation of this article. Vance may have been referring only to the problems in Minneapolis, but evidence of the link between mass immigration and organised crime has been suppressed by the authorities and mainstream media for far too long.

Rather than endless frame-by-frame analysis or internet comment thread discussions, could the could the media please enlighten us about why ICE involvement in Michigan has increased over the last two to five years? This started with investigations into the (lawful) air-borne exodus of millions of dollars earned from state contracts or claimed in welfare benefits to Mogadishu  over the last five years, which then developed into various fake childcare charities, schools ad healthcare operations. Focussing on one or two deaths of “observers” is a distraction from the big picture of the rapidly changing demographics of Minneapolis and the alleged lack of due diligence by city and state officials over funding the various businesses and charities set up by immigrant communities.

Another Climate Scare Hoax Exposed - Polar IceMelt Is Slowing, Not Accelerating.

 Those of you who live less than 250 feet above sea level can rest easy. In spite of all the hysterical scaremongering about polar ice melting and sea levels rising from the Cimate Catastrophists, a new study, (one of many to produce the same result, none of which have made headline news, or even been fully eported in mainstream media, has shown that in fact polar ice ment (a yearly occurrence between May and September in the Arctic and November to March at the Antarctic ice cap,) is actually slowing.

This is welcome news for people who live neaer the coast but does not make much difference to be as my house sits 500 feet above sea level, and is a positive disaster for billionaire psychopaths like Bill Gates and others who have planned to scam governments out of obscene amounts of money for schemes to save the planet by, for example, spraying clouds of chemical dust in the upper atmosphere to shut out sunlight. 

Explore our archived posts below this extract to learn more about the climate catastrophe hoax. 

via Climate Depot:

A new study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters finds that contrary to many mainstream media reports, the amount of sea ice in the Arctic has not changed appreciably over the past two decades.

After the significant decrease in 2012, many researchers studying climate change claimed it was a harbinger of a permanent decline in Arctic sea ice due to climate change. Of course, sea ice waxes and wanes each year, but beginning in 1995, sea ice began a general, relatively steep decline, reaching its nadir in 2012 and then stabilizing amid yearly ups and downs.

This new research indicates that the popular reading of the situation was wrong. The measured decline slowed as early as 2005 and annual losses remained low or even flat, with the exception of 2012. If this research is correct, over the entire 20-year period arctic sea-ice loss has been slow and minimal. As the international team of mathematicians and physicists from the Universities of Exeter in the U.K. and Columbia in the United States write,

Over the past two decades, Arctic sea-ice loss has slowed considerably, with no statistically significant decline in September sea-ice area since 2005. This pause is robust across observational data sets, metrics, and seasons. … The modeling evidence suggests that internal variability has substantially offset anthropogenically forced sea-ice loss in recent decades.

Despite the authors’ claims that barely measurable sea-ice loss, a loss that is not statistically significant, is consistent with climate model projections for short periods of time ...

"Disappearing Ice" Narrative Evaporating": New Data Shows Arctic Ice Cap 26% Larger Than 2012

 by Arthur Foxake, 28 December 2024

In 2007 a BBC News article titled "Arctic summers ice-free 'by 2013'," which warned readers of the supposed threat that "latest computer modelling studies indicate northern polar waters could be ice-free in summers within just 5-6 years."

   

 images via Zero Hedge

 

The BBC article's baseless claim was designed to instill climate fears across the public to ram through a radical de-growth and depopulation climate agenda across the Western world based on pseudo - scientific bollocks generated by incompetent amateur computer programmers calling themselves climate scientists.

Once you learn that scientsts are whores who will rig their experiments and syudies to produce the result the organisation funding them has asked for, that everything the MSM and political servants of elite paymasters say is an inversion in reality, and that governments,the United Nations and all the other QANGOs and bureaucracies are not your allies but are collaborating with billionaire psychopaths who want to control everything, understanding the world becomes easier. 

The ruling elites and their servants in mainstream media say CO2 is a pollutant, when in fact it is plant food. They say CO2,levels have never been higher, when in fact on a geological timescale going back 500 million years they’ve only been lower in the past 500 years. 

This kind of misinformatory jiggery pokery applies not only to global warming but to everything else they lie about, from the food pyramid (people should not be eating a diet high in carbohydrates as they’ve recommended to us,  but a low carb, high protein, high fat diet) to feminism (Western women are not oppressed as they say, but have always been the most privileged social caste in human history) to telling us diversity makes us stronger as the mass immigration they have engineered undermines our civilised societies.. 

Once you begin to see all these inversions in reality, you realize they’ve been used as a form of social control for a century. Ever since that old fraud Freud’s nephew Eddie Bernays told the ruling class the way to rule over the plebs most effectively is to create so many lies nobody knows what the truth is anymore.

Which culminates in little tragedies like the COVID global genocide, driven by the lies and hysteria of the same mythmakers, the phony climate crisis,  net zero scam, and the proxy war in Ukraine.

When President Biden and other advocates of wind and solar generation speak, they appear to believe that the challenge posed is just a matter of currently having too much fossil fuel generation and not enough wind and solar; and therefore, accomplishing the transition to "net zero" will be a simple matter of building sufficient wind and solar facilities and having those facilities replace the current ones that use the fossil fuels.

Debunked: The Great Renewable Green Delusion
The war in Ukraine has not caused the global energy crisis of early 2022 byt merely exacerbated it.

Climate Scaremongers Crank Up Hysteria Over Antarctic Ice Loss but Recent Data Shows Sea Ice Levels Similar to 1966

 

Antactic Ice - Picture credit: Science News

 

After the COVID years and another round of 'The Russians Are Coming' scarmongering the Warmageddonist movement has returned to the headlines this year as the latest in a never ending stream in the 'existential threat to humanity' series. In an unusually hot, dry June here in the UK, alarmists were whipping up fears over runaway warming causing more deaths than COVID (which actually didn't cause many deaths at all,) and how we had passed the points of no return with climate change and disaster was imminent.

An unusually cold, wet July scuppered that one.

But the Warmageddonist sect is like any other quasi religious,pseudo scientific cult and no matter how many time their forecasts of doom are debunked by events or their predictions are so far of the mark they cannot even be considered wrong, the scaremonger simply carry on as if nothing had happened and offer a new but equally whacky doomsday scenario.

 Their latest is a warning that a supposed low rate of winter sea ice in Antarctica shows the ice is melting at a much faster rate than was peviously thought and is going to drown half the worlds population. Clive Cookson, science editor of the august and level headed newpaper The Financial Times has recently written thatAntarctica “faces a catastrophic cascade of extreme environmental events… that will affect climate around the world”.

Strangely the scientific report written by a science editor and citing several peer reviewed scientific research papers overlooks that fact that sea ice is the ice that floats on the surface of the ocean which, because ice displaces its own weight of water and thus its melting does not affect water levels either way, while faithfully reporting the 'imminent disaster' narrative.   At risk of stating the obvious, there is also no mention that Antarctica sea ice was at a record high in 2014, but curiously missing from all the hysteria is the fact that reanalysed early satellite data shows similar levels of winter ice in 1966. Even more curious is that minimal investigative journalism is required to expose this information, since it is supplied by the frequently-consulted National Snow and Ice Data Centre (NSIDC).

NSIDC cites evidence that early Nimbus satellite data revealed winter sea ice extent of around 15 million square kilometres in 1966 “may have rivalled the very low level seen today”. 

Satellite monitoring of geophysical change was in its infancy back in 1966 so conclusions drawn from the reanalysed data cannot be taken as 100% accurate but they are at least a guide based on real world data unlike the data used by modern climate scientists of ignoring empirical data because it seldom gives the required answer and relying completely on output from mathematical models which are fed 'adjusted data.' 

However the NSIDC says the findings are consistent with observations that Antarctica sea ice extent is “highly variable”. Last year, a group of American geographers and statisticians examined historical observations of Antarctica sea ice extent and found “statistically significant” positive trends since 1979. Furthermore, these trends are consistent across all four seasons compared with “statistically significant decreases” throughout much of the early and middle 20th Century.

One of the sources quoted by the FT article came from a report commissioned by the Net Zero obsessed U.K. Government. Lead author Professor Martin Siegert from the University of Exeter claims he is “staggered by the amount of change we’ve seen already in the past few years”. Boggart Blog says Siegert is talking bollocks and he knows it. Meaningful records of Antarctica sea ice levels only begin in 1979, but it is more than likely that, like ice in the Arctic, it waxes and wanes on a natural cyclical basis. 

Not so long ago the Warmageddonists were predicting the end of life on earth because the coral on Australia's Great Barrier Reef was dying, which naturally they insisted was due to climate change. But now, even though they claim global warming is out of control, data from recent observations shows that the Great barrier Reef coral is recovering rapidly. The same thing happened a few years ago when the Warmageddonists were wailing and gnashing their teeth over the imminent extinction of polar bears. A few years later it was revealed by naturalists that polar bear numbers had been increasing and the species was doing very well. This blog speculated that less polar bears had been seen for a while because they were fed up of being harassed bu climate scientists they moved to more repote parts of the arctic.

But like the Great Barrier Reef coral and the polar bear population, the politically-inspired alarmists cry wolf when statistics show a drop, but quietly ignore the story move on to pick the next cherry when numbers recover. Even though carbon dioxide is well mixed over the entire southern hemisphere, the small contribution made by humans is somehow held responsible, while cyclical changes offer the opportunity for Greta Thunberg-style contributions to climate science knowledge.

 All the Antarctic ice shelves that are reportedly breaking up survived greater warming experienced during the Mediaeval Warm Period, the Roman Warm Period, the Minoan Warm Period and the Holocene Climate Optimum. What is different now? Could it be that the ice shelves have failed structurally because of the huge weight of ice that has built up behind or the millennia along with the pushing and pulling of the moon? Or is it because of, or and, the numerous aircraft landing and taking off and the seismic studies that use explosives?

Doomsters like Prof. Siegert seem to exist in a perpetual state of confuddlement around ordinary climatological cycles that were described in detail decades before the climate change circus performers put up their big tent. Now it is stating to look as if their tricks and stunts have been rumbled and more people are becoming sceptical about all these  predictions that never seem to materyialise.

 As The Kinks song Death Of A Clown puts it:

The old fortune teller lies dead on the floor
Nobody needs fortunes told anymore

If the climate scientists can't either up their game or admit they have overstated the likely effects of perfectly natural fluctuations in climate conditions, soon all that will be left of their circus is the clown show.

Blow To EV Lobby: Germany and Italy Block EU Big To Halt Manufacture Of Conventional Cars

Two of the European Union's most powerful member states have united to throw one of the Union's keynote green policies under a juggernaut. Germany and Italy joined forces to thwart a European Union ban on the manufacture and sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2035 and have demanded exemptions to protect their domestic car industries which earn €billions in export revenue and provide hundreds of thousands of jobs. A revolt by the two countries forced EU leaders to delay a key vote on new regulations which would outlaw the building of Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) cars in twelve years time.

The draconian measures which amount to a prohibition of car ownership for people on low to median incomes were drafted last year and would prevent the sale of new cars unless they are "zero emissions". Electric cars, aside from all the attendant technical problems, are prohibitively expensive to buy new for most people and replacement batteries after five or so years use will cost almost as much as buying a new car.

Though the policy has not yet been ratified by member states, Germany and Italy, along with allies, is seeking an exemption for cars running on so-called e-fuels, such as kerosene made from waste, biodiesel and synthetic petrol, which are being developed by some manufacturers.

The action has forced EU officials to delay a vote that was sheduled for Tuesday (7 Marc 2023) because the laws cannot pass without Berlin's backing and have led to a split within Chancellor Olaf Scholz's coalition government, with his FDP partners agitating for the EU's plans to be loosened while Germany's loonytoon Greens are demanding even more stringent anti - car measures.

FDP Bundestag member Volker Wissing, transport minister in the coalition Government, said: "It is contradictory when the EU Commission calls for stronger climate protection targets on the one hand, but on the other hand makes it more difficult to achieve these targets through overambitious regulation."

Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission president, is  expected to meet Chancellor Scholz over the weekend in a bid to to resolve the row as diplomats commute between countries hoping to avert a damaging split in EU unity over net zero lunacies that are putting fotunes in the already overstuffed pockets of financiers, corporate investors and peddlers of dodgy 'science.'

Matteo Salvini, Italy’s deputy prime minister, cheered the delay and added: “The voice of millions of Italians has been heard."

The last-minute hold-up is highly unusual, with the upcoming vote previously seen as a formality, but could be a harbinger of more serious trouble for the electric car industry because in the second half of 2022 sales plummeted as costs rose due to lifting of subsidies, soaring energy costs, lack of support infrastructure and shortages of components.
