These are three outright lies (George Floyd, Renee Good and now Alex Pretti); you are able to definitively triangulate between three to tell what's going on—two events by themselves would have been enough, but there's no arguing with three.
The real issue is, not your refusal to "believe your lying eyes", but, first, the mentality of the insurgents, then, the ultimate motivation for their wanting, to the point of being death-fanatics, to overturn reality, to accomplish, in the term by Friedrich Nietzsche, a "transvaluation of values", which is just a fancy "philosophical" term for calling evil: good, and good: evil. The end consideration is, where does this turning the earth that was once God's paradise for men, into hell on earth?
The facts will come out in the end. Just as the facts are known about the case of George Floyd and Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin, for anyone who would care about the truth–though it has been made so ugly, that most "decent people" don't want to know. Lie #1: "Derek Chauvin murdered George Floyd."
(The Truth: George Floyd caused his own death by such a massive overdose of fentanyl that it's remarkable that he could even stand. Derek Chauvin impeccably followed his police training for the protection of George Floyd. Minneapolis prosecutors and judges were so committed to the living lie that "police disproportionately target African Americans for arrest" that they were willing to totally suborn the judicial process. Derek Chavin has not yet been pardoned by President Trump. Derek Chavin was stabbed 22 times in prison.) The point of the whole exercise was to telegraph an electric shock to all Police Officers that "We DON'T Have Your Back".
In the same way, the truth can be clearly known by anyone who is willing to trudge through the sewer of stinking lies about the death of Renee Nicole Macklin Good after she was shot by ICE Officer Jonathan Ross. Lie #2, with which you can triangulate to the truth: "Jonathan Ross shot Renee Nicole Good without justification. (The Truth: Renee Nicole Good committed lethal vehicular assault against Officer Jonathan Ross, sending him to the E. R. where he was found to have sustained internal hemorrhaging.)
Lie #2 is in pursuit of justifying the "opinion" that ICE Officers are evil, that undocumented migrants are inherently innocent, that U. S. laws about immigration status are unjust, and that they should be resolutely resisted, to the point of placing one's life in jeopardy. This means that you as a citizen of good repute have no rights, that your vote counts for nothing, that any criminal from anywhere in the world let in by the Biden Administration can harm your family, that you have no recourse to self-defense or justice, that all you have can be taken from you and you can't do anything about it.
So now that George Soros is using his nearly unlimited funds to foment revolution in the U. S., highly organized teams of insurgents are flocking to conflict points like Minneapolis, like they did to Milwaukee, Portland and Seattle. It's 2019 all over again. The press are falling into line like lockstep. No longer are the Big 3 T. V. networks doing the propagandizing, you are seeing the click-bait headline grabbers peddling lies to you, and their overwhelming preponderance has got you believing the lies.
So now if you can get past the ugly truth about the shooting of armed insurgent Alex Jeffrey Pretti, the man in the bald pate and Fu Manchu beard "who was an E. R. Nurse", if you will look at the footage, with the sound turned down, just to see that officers were trying to disarm him, and suddenly jumped back, as evidence that he brandished a firearm at them, then responded with legally and morally justified force to the lethal threat Pretti posed to them. You will have to run the gauntlet of lies, with Lie Number #3 in our brainwasher's gallery, "ICE Agents Murdered an Innocent, Un-Armed Protester."
(Sorry if you don't like Alex Jones--he predicted the 9/11 Twin Towers attacks three months early, in June; there's nothing uglier. Here is the footage of Alex Jeffrey Pretti acting like a rabid rattlesnake armed with a gun, at https://x.com/RealAlexJones/status/2015215528478900526.)
You should run through past instances of The Big Lie ("repeat it often enough…"). Treyvon Martin posed a security risk in half-African American George Zimmerman's neighborhood, had Zimmerman down on the ground and was beating him to death. President Obama's remark that Treyvon Martin could be his own son, is witness to the death-spiral ethos in the fatherless Black community, that YOU ARE MORALLY OBLIGATED TO RESIST POLICE AUTHORITY TO THE POINT OF DYING FOR IT. With the triumph of DEI, now the empty ethos of the fatherless Black community has spread to the morally bankrupt, "educated" white populace.

One of the few images of Treyvon Martin as he actually was when he was choking George Zimmerman to death—he's usually portrayed as a cute, little, lambie-pie teenager of about 14, not as a big, hulking, powerful, grown man.
This ultimately stems back to the influence of Obama's Communist mentor in Hawaii, Frank Marshall Davis, who thoroughly vested Obama in the Cultural Marxist foundations that were brought to fruition under the influence of "Rules for Radicals" author Saul Alinsky–who dedicated his book to Satan.

Immortal, incorporeal, vastly superior intellects, irrevocably embracing evil, absolutely merciless in seeking to destroy us. You have been seeing it in science-fiction since the original Star Trek t.v. series, but you can't believe it in real life.
Okay, there's no Devil. And he is not an enemy of the imaginary God, in a universe that is only driven by the rules of physical science.
Except that the world gives ample evidence that there are weird, tragic, catastrophic phenomena that can't be due to mere blind chance.
You know that evil has a reality that can't be explained away by our deliberately-dumbed-down "education" system. Something is terribly amiss.
These "demonstrators" who are chasing people down the street trying to maim or even kill them, are thoroughly imbued with a spirit of evil, that is highly organized and purposeful.
It can't be explained away by the conventional headline lies.
You are in a war. Your family may not be an immediate target, but they're coming for you. They intend that you will have nowhere to hide.
You just couldn't believe that they could be such outright liars.
Well, you'd better figure out what is going on.

Good to see the black community standing up to be heard. It takes courage, because the Lefr despises dissent in what was once a solid voting bloc, and goes far out of its way to disparage, slander, and smear any black person who rejects those things the Left sees as their own tools of division.
Great Analysis!!
That was a separate incident.
they want the martyrs to further the revolution
it was another crazy leftist after the pretti shooting
by any means necessary
then it all makes sense

Public safety is the first duty of government. ICE is not just failing to protect public safety in Minnesota – it is an active threat to it. The president must end this operation immediately and allow for a thorough investigation by state and local law enforcement.
Republicans in Congress must agree to Democrats’ longstanding demands for root-level reform: disband the paramilitary that has ballooned over the last year, end masking & warrantless street-grabs, and train to the standards of due process and professionalism fitting a free people.

One day after thousands of Minnesotans bravely took to the streets to reject ICE and CBP’s authoritarian tactics, we’re waking up to reports that a federal agent shot and killed a man. Even though multiple agents had the victim pinned down on the ground, one of the agents took out a gun and killed him.
This brutality must end now and the agent who pulled the trigger must be held accountable to the full extent of the law.

Congresswoman Julia Brownley
Today’s news out of Minneapolis is another absolutely horrifying reminder of this administration’s lawlessness and lack of accountability. Once again, the excessive use of force by federal agents has resulted in the innocent loss of life on our streets.
Our communities are not safer. They are more fearful as federal agents operating under ICE and the Department of Homeland Security are being deployed without the training, oversight, or respect for civil rights that real public safety demands.
Make no mistake: responsibility for this violence falls squarely on Donald Trump and Republicans in Washington who have enabled and funded these operations while allowing accountability to go unchecked. They have ignored local leaders, dismissed calls for transparency, and blocked meaningful investigation into these incidents.
I stand with the people of Minnesota, with grieving families, and with those demanding justice be carried out for every individual terrorized by ICE and this administration. Violence and impunity cannot be allowed to define our country. It is time for real accountability, real oversight, and a fundamental reexamination of how federal agencies operate in our communities.

·Rep. Madeleine Dean
I am sickened by the horrific killing of another person in Minnesota.
This was an execution. More than a half a dozen masked agents — thugs — empowered by this thuggish President’s madness.
This America — where citizens are beaten and shot in the street as if they are less than human — is unrecognizable. It goes against every document and value we hold dear.
To my Republican colleagues: insist the President stop; to our courts at every level: stop this madness. Our citizens and our Constitution demands it.
Let us return to an America we recognize — and ensure all those responsible for these horrors are brought to justice.

Rep. Diana DeGette
This morning, masked, untrained ICE and CBP agents have reportedly once again escalated a situation and shot and killed a person in Minneapolis. This rogue agency is out of control. ICE and CBP must immediately leave Minnesota. ICE must be dismantled, and Secretary Noem must be impeached as soon as possible.

Rep. April McClain Delaney
What the Trump Administration is doing in Minnesota is a testing ground for a paramilitary police state across the country, which is why I stand with Minnesota, and I stand with America.
The murder of Alex Pretti yesterday, an ICU nurse at the Veterans Administration, following the murder of Renee Good on January 7, marks a deadly new chapter in Trump’s militarized enforcement regime. These deaths are not accidents. They are the foreseeable result of a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that has been militarized, politicized, and unleashed on American communities without oversight.
Masked DHS agents are now operating in Minnesota neighborhoods with impunity - terrorizing families and neighborhoods, slandering the victims with lies, silencing dissent, seizing and detaining protesters, eroding basic civil liberties and killing American citizens. This is not public safety. This is authoritarian policing.
When I was in Minnesota on January 16 with a Congressional delegation, I heard story after story describing an America that would have been unrecognizable not long ago - an America where people are afraid of masked federal agents showing up in their communities. That is not democracy. That is not justice. And it cannot be allowed to continue.
I have called for the following actions:
The immediate withdrawal of Immigration and Enforcement Agency (ICE) agents from Minnesota;
That local authorities in Minnesota be allowed to do their jobs to protect their citizens and preserve the evidence from ICE’s crimes;
The House of Representatives to be called back into session this week;
Full congressional investigations into these killings and DHS enforcement practices, including using subpoena power and holding public hearings;
For the Senate to reject the DHS funding bill, for no more ICE funding and to abolish ICE’s abusive practices;
The investigation into the brazen political demand by Attorney General Pam Bondi for access to Minnesota voter files before any concessions can be made to the ICE police state; and
For the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for her failure to operate within the law and respect human rights and for the impeachment of Donald Trump.
These deaths demand answers, transparency, accountability and change - not silence or more lies from the Administration. Congress has a constitutional obligation to act when executive power is abused. We must use it.
Let’s be clear: the real domestic threats are not coming from immigrant families or peaceful communities. They are coming from the White House. President Trump, Vice President Vance, Secretary Noem, and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller built this apparatus. They normalized cruelty. They empowered unaccountable force that resulted in executions. And now Americans are paying the price.
This moment requires courage. It requires oversight. And it requires Congress to stand with the people and fight back hard against a rogue enforcement machine.
And we must understand that this crisis extends far beyond Minnesota. As I’ve long said, what they are doing in Minnesota is a testing ground for a paramilitary police state across the country. In my own district, we know of plans for a new ICE detention facility - a project that would expand the very militarized enforcement apparatus that has already cost two U.S. citizens their lives in Minnesota and terrorized communities across the state. That’s why I stood with Senator Chris Van Hollen last week in Hagerstown to make clear that we as a team will fight with everything we have to stop this detention center and to fight back against an unchecked enforcement regime that answers to no one and threatens civil liberties nationwide.

My thoughts recorded yesterday about Trump regime flooding cities with unwanted and unnecessary ICE agents. More violence, more suffering, more chaos, more tragedies. 5 times more federal agents invading Minneapolis than its entire police dept. This is not about removing criminals, but to condition Americans to accept Trump’s abusive practices. We need accountability, including an independent investigation of this latest killing, not another cover up like that regarding Renee Goods’s killing.

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse for the VA. Colleagues remember him as kind, warm, and caring.
He was a beloved son, brother, friend, and neighbor.
Federal agents murdered him in cold blood. In broad daylight.
And then they had the gall—the sheer, evil audacity—to call *him* a domestic terrorist. And then lie about it to the American people. Because they’ll do and say anything to justify their violence.
In every video we’ve seen of the incident, he was not brandishing a gun or threatening officers. He was holding a cell phone—and backing away with his hands up.
If he *was* carrying a gun (which we still don’t know), Minnesota has open carry laws. It’s his 2nd Amendment right.
Even the NRA has come out and said DHS’s justification is total bullshit.
Alex Pretti. Renee Good. Say their names. Remember their lives. Honor their memories.
Donald Trump, Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, Greg Bovino, and every Republican who supports gunning down American civilians in our streets: This blood is on YOUR hands.

Sen. Jacky Rosen
Kristi Noem has been an abject failure leading the Department of Homeland Security for the last year – and the abuses of power we’re seeing from ICE are the latest proof that she has lost control over her own department and staff. She’s either too incompetent to rein in the agency under her purview, or she endorses the blatant constitutional violations being committed.
She has also violated the public trust by wasting millions in taxpayer dollars to put herself in advertisements, buy two expensive luxury jets, and give government contracts to firms with ties to her political operations, all while terrorizing American communities. Kristi Noem and her department’s latest attempt to mislead the American public regarding the brutal and unjustified killing of Alex Pretti is deeply shameful, and she must be impeached and removed from office immediately.

We now know that it was an ICU nurse who was shot and killed by ICE agents in Minneapolis this morning.
Multiple videos show that the only thing he was “brandishing” was a camera phone as he was assisting a woman whom ICE agents had pushed to the ground and pepper-sprayed.
DHS - again - tried to justify the use of lethal force by claiming that the victim had threatened the federal agents. The obvious lies by DHS officials demand a thorough and independent investigation.

The killing of another American citizen by masked DHS agents in Minneapolis is a moral outrage. This is not law enforcement. This is lawlessness.
Armed federal agents operating in masks, refusing transparency, and using lethal force against civilians is the behavior of an authoritarian state, not a democracy. Americans have a constitutional right to document government activity. They have the right to due process. They have the right to live without fear of being targeted by their own government.
Every agent involved must be held accountable. No badge, no agency, and no president is above the Constitution.
Make no mistake, Trump is at the root of all of this. Trump is ratcheting up tensions without regard to anyone’s life to find an excuse to send troops against American citizens.

“I’m very positive and comfortable in my position: both those individuals broke federal law and they will be held accountable by the Department of Justice.” — Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna called for the DOJ to hold Minnesota A
Jan 10, 2026
Florida Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, she’s a member of the House Oversight Committee, who’s been looking into this. Great to have you, Congresswoman Luna. Thank you for having me back on.
Yeah, always a pleasure. So we’re talking about these protests, but what’s behind it and the CCP trying to sow division. Right here, I’m looking at a letter that you sent to Treasury Secretary Scott Besson back in September.
This man, who’s pretty notorious, American-born, citizen of the U.S., ties to the CCP, Mr. Neville Roy Singham. You think he even funded the activists we saw in the L.A. riots over ICE last summer. Where does this stand right now? Because obviously, ICE members are front and center of this latest incident here.
Yes, ma’am. I don’t think that he was tied to it. We know for a fact that he was tied to it.
There is a money trail that’s been provided, hence why we actually asked him to initially come to Congress. He refused receipt of that letter. So Neville Roy Singham is a known Chinese billionaire.
He is not a registered agent of China, although he should be. It’s a far violation of what he’s doing. He spends most of his time actually in China and has been known to funnel efforts and funding into the United States.
Regardless of organizations, we know that it’s to all left-linging pro-communist organizations that only benefit the CCP. So for example, during the ICE riots that you saw taking place across this country, we actually were jokingly calling them the Timu riots, where they are handing out Mexican flags, but that is all tied and directly funded by him. We also know most recently in Minnesota with the anti-ICE riots and really with the Somali fraud investigations that we’re seeing and the resistance against that, that’s actually also backed by Neville Singham.
So at the time when Secretary of State Rubio was a Senator and sitting on intelligence, he actually had sent a letter to the then Attorney General asking to hit Neville Singham with far violations, had done significant investigations to prove what he was doing. And we are simply following up on that now. Bessett has not responded to us.
I know he’s a busy guy, but we did have a bipartisan meeting supported by both Democrat and Republican subpoenaed issued out of oversight to Singham yesterday. And so he will be compelled to come before Congress. And if he does not, we will hold him in contempt.
Awesome. Breaking news right there. Congresswoman, thank you for sharing that.
He is a busy guy. In fact, he today is in Minnesota speaking to the Economic Club. We know from the White House briefing that Treasury Secretary Bessett is also looking into the billions of potential Somali fraud there.
And it’s not just coming from those learning daycare centers. We’re talking HUD, we’re talking SNAP, unemployment benefits. We have Keith Ellison, the attorney general, who now is also trying to say that they’ve been looking into this.
We have a little clip here, though. He says they take fraud very seriously in Minnesota. I’ll get your reaction on the flip side.
Are you confident your office has done enough? Of course, we’ve done enough and we’re doing more every single day. This is a political matter. This is not a serious thing.
There is a senator, Holmstrom, who wants to see the DOJ open an investigation. The schemes raise unavoidable questions about the conduct, potential complicity of the state’s highest officials. And the bigger question, too, is how much of Americans’ taxpayer dollars went to fund terrorism over in Somalia, al-Shahab, which Byron Donald’s also on oversight raised as well.

LETTER FROM HUGO CARVAJAL BARRIOS TO PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
United States of America
December 2, 2025
Dear Mr. President Trump and The People of the United States,
My name is Hugo Carvajal Barrios. For many years, I was a high-ranking member of the Venezuelan regime. I was a three-star general trusted by both Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro and served as Director of Military Intelligence and a Deputy in the National Assembly. Today, I sit in an American prison because I voluntarily plead guilty to the crimes charged against me: a narco-terrorism conspiracy. I write to atone by telling the full truth so that the United States can protect itself from the dangers I witnessed for so many years.
I publicly broke with the Maduro regime in 2017 and fled my country, knowing that I face criminal charges in the United States. In doing so, I became their enemy. Knowing the risks, I acted with the strongest conviction to dismantle Maduro’s criminal regime and bring freedom to my country. Today, I see the need to address the American people about the reality of what the Venezuelan regime truly is—and why President Trump’s policies are not only correct, but absolutely necessary to the United States’ national security.
Narco-Terrorism
I personally witnessed how Hugo Chavez’s government became a criminal organization that is now run by Nicolás Maduro, Diosdado Cabello, and other senior regime officials.
The purpose of this organization, now known as the Cartel of the Suns is to weaponize drugs against the United States. The drugs that reached your cities through new routes were not accidents of corruption nor just the work of independent traffickers; they were deliberate policies coordinated by the Venezuelan regime against the United States.
This plan was suggested by the Cuban regime to Chávez in the mid-2000s and has been successfully executed with help from FARC, ELN, Cuban operatives, and Hezbollah. The regime has provided weapons, passports, and impunity for these terrorist organizations to operate freely from Venezuela against the United States.
Tren de Aragua
I was present when decisions were made to organize and weaponize criminal gangs across Venezuela to protect the regime—among them the group known as Tren de Aragua. Chávez ordered the recruitment of criminal leaders inside and outside prisons to defend “the revolution” in exchange for impunity. After Chávez died, Maduro expanded this strategy by exporting criminality and chaos abroad to target Venezuelan political exiles and artificially reduce crime statistics within Venezuela. Gang leaders were instructed to send thousands of members out of the country. This was coordinated through the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Prisons, the National Guard, and national police forces. Tren de Aragua became the most effective and fastest growing.
When the Biden–Harris open-border policy became widely known, they seized the opportunity to send these operatives into the United States. They now have obedient, armed personnel on American soil. To finance their operations, they were explicitly instructed to continue kidnapping, extorting, and killing. Every crime they commit on your soil is an act ordered by the regime.
Counterintelligence and Espionage Against the United States
I was present when Russian intelligence came to Caracas to propose to Hugo Chávez the tapping of submarine internet cables that connect most of South America and the Caribbean islands with the United States for the purpose of penetrating United States Government communications.
In 2015, I warned Maduro that allowing Russian intelligence to build and run a secret listening post on La Orchila Island would one day invite American bombs. He ignored me.
For twenty years, the Venezuelan regime sent spies into your country—many are still there, some disguised as members of the Venezuelan opposition. Cuban intelligence showed me their networks inside your naval bases on the East Coast. They bragged about having sent thousands of spies over decades, some now career politicians.
U.S. diplomats and CIA officers were paid to assist Chávez and Maduro in remaining in power. These Americans acted as spies for Cuba and Venezuela, and some remain active to this day.
Smartmatic and Your Elections
Smartmatic was born as an electoral tool of the Venezuelan regime but soon derived into a tool to help keep the regime stay in power forever. I know this because I placed the head of IT of the National Electoral Council (CNE) in his position, and he reported directly to me. The Smartmatic system can be altered—this is a fact. This technology was later exported abroad, including to the United States. Regime operatives maintain relationships with election officials and voting-machine companies inside your country. I do not claim that every election is stolen, but I state with certainty that elections can be rigged with the software – and has been used to do so.
People of the United States, make no mistake about the threat posed by allowing a narco-terrorist organization to roam freely in the Caribbean and throughout Latin America, doing everything possible to harm the American people—to finance anti-Americanism across the continent, and to facilitate the operations of other terrorist organizations and enemies of the United States within Venezuela and now within your borders.
The regime I served is not merely hostile—it is at war with you, using drugs, gangs, espionage, and even your own democratic processes as weapons. President Trump’s policies against the Maduro criminal regime are not just justified, but necessary and proportionate to the threat. He may even be underestimating what the regime is prepared to do to hold onto power. They have contingency plans for every extreme scenario to ensure they never relinquish control.
I absolutely support President Trump’s policy towards Venezuela, because it is in self-defense and he is acting based on the truth. I remain ready to provide additional details about these matters to the United States government.

Transcribed
The Venezuela State Industry of Election Fraud Was ONE Piece to Destroy the Republic of the United States of America
The Stephen Gardner Show ^ | 14 December 2025 | Emerald Robinson
He’s got this military buildup outside of Venezuela. I don’t think a lot of people understand that it’s about more than Trinidad and Tobago, even, or the drug trafficking, that it is this election interference that has changed the global order. And also, there’s the counterintelligence part of this.
One thing that a Venezuelan, a former high level general, okay, he was the head of military intelligence. His name was Hugo Carvajal. He’s in our custody for drug trafficking.
He was extradited here in 2023. He defected from Venezuela in 2017. He was hiding out in Spain.
We got him from Spain, right? He just published in the Dallas Express in the last few days, an affidavit confession of everything he did while he worked for Chavez and Maduro. And one of the most concerning parts is he says he has names of many, many, many U.S. diplomats and CIA officials who they bribed and essentially are traitors to the U.S. They are spies for Cuba, Venezuela, which means also China, Iran, and Russia, because that’s the nexus in our Western hemisphere. When you’re talking about Trump coming back to Western hemisphere and the Monroe Doctrine, it was intentional that we’ve been ignoring our hemisphere because John Brennan gave the directive almost 20 years ago now for CIA station chiefs to ignore intelligence coming from Cuba and Venezuela specifically.
And I know some of the names that Carvajal has that he’s willing to give over to the U.S. government. I think there’s about a hundred. Some of the names are shocking.
Now, the average person might not know them, but me having been a political journalist now for a decade, it’s very high level. It’s very influential people. And it’s not just Democrats.
