In November, I wrote that the left is awaiting an event that will allow them to instigate widespread political violence. I theorized that because debt-laden Western economies hadn’t seen a downturn since 2008, the next economic crisis might provide the opportunity. But when billionaires like George Soros and Neville Singham provide you with a bottomless pit of money for organization and agitation, why wait for such an unpredictable event?
Confronting ICE appears to be the ticket. It’s happening in all parts of the country, and not by accident. In Minneapolis, a woman named Renee Nicole Good, who was following around ICE agents in an SUV, was shot and killed by an ICE agent who had been previously injured in a car-ramming incident. The left responded with outrage (although no doubt privately celebrating; every movement needs a martyr) including by breaking the windows of the federal courthouse in Minneapolis.
The protests spread across the country. MoveOn, which along with Indivisible is one of the two main Soros-funded groups organizing the nationwide “No Kings” protests, wasted no time in emailing its activists, charging that Good “was murdered point-blank…while peacefully observing an ICE operation out of concern for her neighbors,” in an “extrajudicial killing by ICE agents.” Recipients were urged to sign a petition to Congress to unmask ICE agents. Indivisible convened a “rapid response call” with the ACLU (also Soros-funded) and “local MN partners” to “learn more about how you can take action this weekend!”
The legacy media noted the difference between Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s characterization of Good as a “domestic terrorist” and “local officials” who are condemning ICE.
Governor Tim Walz, who routinely refers to ICE agents as the “Gestapo,” issued a warning that he would mobilize the Minnesota National Guard to “protect Minnesotans” from “rogue ICE agents.” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey told ICE to “get the f*** out of Minneapolis,” and accused ICE of coming to the city to “literally kill people.” Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan urged activists to “put your body on the line” to stop ICE agents from “kidnapping” people.
Of course, ICE is in Minneapolis because it is ground zero for the public benefits fraud scandal to which these very “local officials” are part and parcel. Somali immigrants ripped off taxpayers for billions, allowing for millions in campaign contributions to Democratic politicians. The crisis is deeper than illegal immigration.
The MoveOn and Indivisible claim of eschewing violence is negated by the shrillness of their communications. And purportedly peaceful protests can morph into violent mobs as occurred in downtown Los Angeles in June of last year when a “No Kings” day protest merged with anti-ICE rioting. Law enforcement responded with tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the crowd.
President Trump’s deployment of the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles no doubt saved lives and prevented untold property damage. Mayor Karen Bass, an acolyte of Fidel Castro who has made multiple trips to Cuba, would have been happy to watch the city burn down. After all, she had done it before.
What will happen if the left orchestrates civil unrest in not one city, but 10, 20 or 50 at the same time? They, too, have done it before.
Like today’s anti-ICE demonstrators, the instigators of the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots were funded by ultra-wealthy white people. George Soros and other billionaires who finance the mayhem have benefited the most from capitalism and the rule of law, yet they seek to tear it all down.
