I will leave this at that for my future reference. Patrick Byrne was once an FBI CHS,he later cane to know his FBI handler was Peter Strzok

armyofone:Because if my inherent bias I may be impervious to reason when it comes to Haiti In 1947 South Korea was poorer than Haiti. By 1947 Haiti had finished paying off it's debt to France. Haiti is still dirt poor . After WW2 there was a lot of aid given to countries to develop ,UN teams were sent to Haiti to build capacity,etc Haiti is still dependent on aid, including police forces. In contrast South Korea transitioned to a global donor. |
armyofone:You think this is good decision? The Trump administration has rescinded a Biden-era rule that forced pharmacies to dispense abortion pills. This is a move hailed by pro-life advocates as a victory for religious freedom and conscience rights. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced the decision Tuesday, repealing guidance issued in 2022 that required pharmacies receiving federal funding to stock and dispense abortion-inducing drugs.... If I owned a pharmacy,I would not sell such withour a prescription from a Doctor. That is, if I was forced at gunpoint to stock it in the first place. |
Trump supported Honduras candidate sworn in as president. The left tried to steal the vote , it's been two months of counting and recounting with a serving of violence. Left in power,couldn't imagine losing. Congratulations Nasry Asfura. The rejection of the left continues despite their resistance. |
@dcopechatter The parents of Alex Pretti say their son quit his hospital job months ago and had shown “unusual behavior” recently. “He seemed to have joined some kind of group. We warned him two weeks ago — protest if you want, but don’t engage, don’t do anything stupid,” his father, Michael Pretti, told reporters. “He said he understood.” But it wasn’t until police pulled messages from Alex’s phone that the truth began to emerge — and what investigators found. It seems that Pretti's parents didn't want him participating. It seems Pretti allegedly scrubbed his social media presence one day prior to his actions leading to his death. When you make decisions based on emotions, you make poor decisions. He made bad decisions. I’m a 2A absolutist. You have a right to carry, not a privilege. But rights come with restrictions, you need your ID & permit on you. Reports say Pretti had neither. He wasn’t carrying legally.i Need I add that Alex took part on the 2020 George Floyd protests? |
raumdeuter:Republicans won't enshrine voterid in law. America could be a gone case. There are 1 million Chinese living in China who were born on US territory in some island ( birth tourism). They are eligible to vote from 2030 onwards despite them living and getting indoctrinated in China Consider that factor too. |
U benalvino3:This is exactly why he turned. Detour..The judge who refused to :have Don Lemon arrested is married to the Minnesota Deputy AG in Keith Ellison office. DOJ appealed and wanted 4 others charged but withdrew .The judge had convened a meeting today to review the appeal which was expected to be turned down. DOJ most likely withdrew the appeal because they will file RICO charges..The protesters have been getting help from Minnesota govt officials . https://redstate.com/jenvanlaar/2026/01/26/link-to-walzs-administration-in-anti-ice-signal-chats-n2198511 Top officials named in the Signal chat group include Minnesota Lt Gov Rep. Brad Tabke Aurin Chowdhury One username is Aurin Chowdhury. An admin with the same name is on the Minneapolis City Council, representing Ward 12 Ben Hovland, with Minnesota Public Radio Amanda Koehler,a Walz campaign strategist is an admin of those groups former Walz staffer, MN State Senate candidate Anita Smithson, and Minneapolis politician David Snyder were all listed The two dead protesters Reene Good and Alex Pretti were part of the MN ICE watch Signal group. Full X thread by Cam Highby who infiltrated the Signal Chat group. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/2015093523733733474.html FBI Kash Patel confirmed they are investigating the Signal chat group. It's a federal crime to conspire to obstruct ICE or any other federal body. Data republican released 4000 names of those funding the protests. List includes foreigners. Full list here. blob:https://drive.proton.me/284a9b8d-03c7-498d-b9ab-d5d8c081d3bf Tim Walz days could be numbered if Psm Bondi is not just a barking dog. |
IbeOkehie:Methinks America main problem is power hungry Washington DC politicians. In the days of Clinton and Bush the country largely accepted election results and moved on. At the time both Democrat and Republicans had the same goal in mind , America dominance. After 2009 the focus seems to have shifted to personality cults where the president could do no wrong. In 2016 the status quo was jolted by the election of Trump. The need by democrats to promote every grievance group in exchange of power took hold. The fifth column openly took sides, being a conduit to bring down the "evil one". In 2020 the democrats regained power and proceeded to create a permanent voting block. I've never been to America,and a lot think I support Trump blindly.No He shares many values as I do on my pet subjects like nationalism and climate change . I fear if America empire is replaced by China ,the world will be worse off. |
bayelsaowei:Has to be ratified by all EU members. Should be complete by the time the evil Drumph is gone. |
The expert has his take. @Schwalm5132 As a former Special Forces Warrant Officer with multiple rotations running counterinsurgency ops—both hunting insurgents and trying to separate them from sympathetic populations—I’ve seen organized resistance up close. From Anbar to Helmand, the pattern is familiar: spotters, cutouts, dead drops (or modern equivalents), disciplined comms, role specialization, and a willingness to absorb casualties while bleeding the stronger force slowly. What’s unfolding in Minneapolis right now isn’t “protest.” It’s low-level insurgency infrastructure, built by people who’ve clearly studied the playbook. Signal groups at 1,000-member cap per zone. Dedicated roles: mobile chasers, plate checkers logging vehicle data into shared databases, 24/7 dispatch nodes vectoring assets, SALUTE-style reporting (Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time, Equipment) on suspected federal vehicles. Daily chat rotations and timed deletions to frustrate forensic recovery. Vetting processes for new joiners. Mutual aid from sympathetic locals (teachers providing cover, possible PD tip-offs on license plate lookups). Home-base coordination points. Rapid escalation from observation to physical obstruction—or worse. This isn’t spontaneous outrage. This is C2 (command and control) with redundancy, OPSEC hygiene, and task organization that would make a SF team sergeant nod in recognition. Replace “ICE agents” with “occupying coalition forces” and the structure maps almost 1:1 to early-stage urban cells we hunted in the mid-2000s. The most sobering part? It’s domestic. Funded, trained (somewhere), and directed by people who live in the same country they’re trying to paralyze law enforcement in. When your own citizens build and operate this level of parallel intelligence and rapid-response network against federal officers—complete with doxxing, vehicle pursuits, and harassment that’s already turned lethal—you’re no longer dealing with civil disobedience. You’re facing a distributed resistance that’s learned the lessons of successful insurgencies: stay below the kinetic threshold most of the time, force over-reaction when possible, maintain popular support through narrative, and never present a single center of gravity. I spent years training partner forces to dismantle exactly this kind of apparatus. Now pieces of it are standing up in American cities, enabled by elements of local government and civil society. That should keep every thinking American awake at night. Not because I want escalation. But because history shows these things don’t de-escalate on their own once the infrastructure exists and the cadre believe they’re winning the information war. We either recognize what we’re actually looking at—or we pretend it’s still just “activism” until the structures harden and spread. Your call, America. But from where I sit, this isn’t January 2026 politics anymore. It’s phase one of something we’ve spent decades trying to keep off our own soil |
ono:He is throwing a spanner in the works to start another round of protests. Democrats have double standards. Letitia James and James Comey overwhelming evidence ,they won't get charged. Don Lemon physically obstructs a church service ,no arrest for him. ICE agent shoots someone driving towards him ,homicide. ICE agents shoot an armed protester blocking their work and scuffling with them ,they call it an execution. Democrat prosecutors and judges have jailed people who shot burglars in their own homes. |
Nine counties account for 2/3 of the ICE violence. They are all sanctuary areas. From Kevin Bass.
|
bayelsaowei:Medical examiner. I dey laugh at this one. Who doesn't know she was shot while driving towards an agent? If he had a gun and someone drives towards him ,he would jump out of the way, right? Then if that driver hit someone else ,he would live with the guilt of not shooting him. Correct me on that. The shots were to protect any other victim,it would be homicide if she had told him she won't run over him or anyone else. |
nateevs:After Trump leaves office ,if they don't compensate his stolen second term with a third one ,he should run for the Governor of California 😁😁 |
Don Lemon and his gang of thugs raided a church disrupting the service ,threatening kids. A judge refused to have him arrested. A black Pastor has dared Don Lemon to try his church. Rev Patrick L. Wooden, Sr has a message for Don Lemon and any protesters thinking to disrupt his church service. "You all see when them people invaded that church the other day? Now, I just want to say to protesters and all of them, don’t do that here. Amen. Don Lemon, don’t come here. You roll up in this church doing stuff like that, and it’s going to be the Royal Rumble. And the funny thing is, I’m not joking. We have worked hard. We built the church in the name of the Lord. We dedicated it to the Lord. It’s built for worship. Our blood, sweat, tears, and finances are in this place. And some people who have never darkened the door of a church and never contributed one dime to it gonna roll up in here and disturb our service and scare our children and shout obscenities in the church. That will not stand in this church. That will not stand. That’s not going to stand. Amen. So I thought I’d bring that up, just in case there’s somebody out there who is thinking. Amen—that’s not going to stand." This is how Christians should respond. The left will attack this pastor questioning his faith. This is not a question of turning the left check after being slapped on the right. Don Lemon and his bullies should get the memo. They would never storm a mosque for starters,we all know what would happen.

IbeOkehie:Western societies have systems that work.Corruption money involved is bigger than African but it's highly criminal .The Chinese quickly executes the corrupt.. The West also has built safety nets.An individual can risk going it alone,with the assurance that if things don't work out ,he will still afford a roof and food. Unlike us in Africa. That in itself is a motivating factor to innovate.Add the western culture of the pride of being your own CEO or President . Most Indians live communally ,large families and they don't squander their money like us. Most are frugal compared to their incomes and they build generational wealth. So while our leaders are corrupt we are also largely to blame for our situation.Petty jealousies and crab mentality. You've seen it here how a user is derided for being poor |
IbeOkehie:I quickly expressed my frustration with him ,he lives in the white man's country, thinks in his language, dresses like the white man and communicates in his language ,Then he calls him trash . I have said time and time again ,white people see blacks as inferior. Never expect them to love you and treat you equally across the board.There are individual exceptions to this, when no black is within their earshot, they have choice words . It appears South African Blacks had higher standards of living than Nigerians even in 1980. I've been told about an interview given by Yvonne Chaka Chaka when she visited Nigeria in the 1980s. In that interview she appeared surprised that Nigerians thought her people were suffering. She told the interviewer that Black South Africans had higher living standards than Nigeria at that time and that she felt bad about the abysmal conditions she had witnessed during her visit. I've looked for that interview best as I can....no success so far.You are on point. After independence, African leaders looted their economies depositing money in the former colonials banks abroad. They abetted post independent colonialism. Economic mainly. African leaders destroyed the governance structure left in place,despite many of them being highly intelligent and educated Dr Robert Mugabe had 7 actual degrees and dozens of honorary. |
Benalvino3. Regarding the Alex shooting. I've seen somewhere that an agent removed the gun which misfired. Agents thinking in split second promptly shot him. Maybe bayelsaowei can tell us how many seconds they should have waited to confirm the suspect's gun had misfired before shooting him. The guy would be alive, why he go struggle with ICE agents while armed? |
benalvino3:Threat of 100% tariffs in everything? Trump somehow gets his way at the end. |
IjeBos:I outperform white people in my line of work. That's why they've retained me for more than a decade. I do a thorough job at work with 5 times the energy I bring here. I work hard but very smartly. If you noticed I am online for most of the day,sometimes at very weird hours. |
Kaczynski:I see it as further proof that his IQ could be below 70. |
I'd seen somewhere that ICE will create and publish a database of the protesters. Should blemish a number of CVs and employees performance appraisals. Looks like a good start.
|
IbeOkehie:On same boat. Dominican Republic republic GDP is around $10K and Haiti is $3k. Haitians claim France blockaded them in the 19th century and forced them to pay annual fines. Hence their poverty. The last payment was in 1947 though Haitians committed white genocide where they exterminated all Whites in their independence struggle leading to the French blockade and blackmail. (I may be wrong in this). Don't know much about Haiti which I despise,was Papa Doc Duvalier a cannibal? "They are eating the cats They are eating the dogs" ![]() |
armyofone:I'm a christian, growing up I realized those I don't agree with demand I act like a saint. I said no, I'll give back ten times what I get. After all I never invented any word no matter how vulgar it is. Others before me did |

Maeve7:If it wasn't for white trash you'd be wearing a sheepskin and sacrificing goats to appease your gods. It's important to know where you came from,where you are and how you can better the lives of those whose loins you sire. |
bayelsaowei:The deceased (May his Soul Rest in peace) was directing SUVs to block an ICE raid on a premise that had hundreds of registered medical facilities that grifted on taxpayer's money. He went there knowingly to obstruct lawful actions by ICE while armed with a $2000 semi automatic SIG 9 mm handgun fully loaded .He had two spare magazines in his car that each carried around 20 bullets. Start from there and we can meet halfway |
Kamala Harris stopped DNA testing at the border the minute she got appointed as a border czar. Why is this important. Because child traffickers bring in girls and boys across the border claiming they are the parents or relatives. With DNA testing enacted by Trump in 2019 or so ,they would verify if you are related to the minor you are bringing across . Kamala also made it mandatory that once processed by CBP, illegal aliens would be summoned to appear before an immigration judge to rule on asylum or residency status. They would be released into the interior to parents , guardian or whoever.Most never showed up in immigration courts . Lost kids. Over 300K children released that Kamala lost track of. Charlie Kirk called it modern day slavery or child trafficking.
Trump admin has located 129,000 of these kids many who been through an awful ordeal ..As sex slaves or indentured people. Where they have to work to pay the costs $5000 sometimes to recoup the cost of smuggling them in. Lest their relatives back home never get to see their siblings. Modern day slave labour,sex trafficking or whatever you may call it. All in effort to import voters. Biden admin ran the most modern human trafficking operation. Hell to prevent illegal being raped enroute to the hallowed country, Biden created an App where one could apply from home. His admin would send planes to fly you to America saving you the hassles of encounters with CBP.( DHS under Trump changed the app to volunteer repatriation) Hundreds of thousands flown in via chartered planes and sent into the interior bypassing the CBP at the border Convince me otherwise that Biden admin wasnt a massive human trafficking operation |
benalvino3:Nothing to add.
|
armyofone:I'll save you a long monologue.Out of hundreds of thousands of ICE arrests only Minnesota has state sanctioned violence. The protesters have spiritual godfathers who include the Governor,AG and Mayor. Giving them a carte blanche to act with impunity. 2 lives lost so far. Reposting this. How about this protestor with an 18 month baby on her back freezing cold protesting. If the kid died of hypothermia or from tear gas or whatever,whom would she blame? Orange Man Bad?
|
How is this allowed? The Minnesota Police Department is not stopping this rampage . They are behind it.
