Minnesota's Proxy Warriors: Walz, Flanagan, and the Signal Network Sending Civilians to Die Confronting Feds

On this platform, I have been saying that the protesters in Minneapolis (statewide, actually) are being used as proxy warriors for Walz and Frey.

It's true, and worse than I thought.

Fox News reports that there is a far left network operating in Minneapolis utilizing Signal:

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.

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.

Federal agents are being targeted

The encrypted Signal messages obtained by Fox News Digital in real time show that anti-ICE "rapid responders" were actively tracking, broadcasting, and summoning "backup" around federal agents outside Glam Doll Donuts on Nicollet Avenue, where the shooting happened. Local "rapid responders" made at least 26 entries into a database called "MN ICE Plates" in the critical hours before and after the killing, documenting the license plate numbers and details of alleged ICE vehicles they claimed to see around Nicollet Avenue.

One agent had a finger bitten off.

This is what helped get Rene Good and Alex Pretti killed, and it goes straight to the top. Amanda Koehler is an aide to Gov. Tim Walz

Also in on this subterfuge is the Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota, Peggy Flanagan, and possibly Governor Tim Walz as well.

Meet Flan Southside, aka Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, dispatch admin of the Signals Chat group. Of course, Anita Smithson would include her to the group to run dispatch operations. Still figuring out who Boogie is...maybe its Tim Walz. https://t.co/AESPBOG8Vw pic.twitter.com/qJsMKLeIMJ

You might remember Peggy. The Lieutenant Governor of the state told Minnesota citizens to put their bodies on the line:

"If you see ICE coming into our neighborhoods to disappear our neighbors, our friends, our family — put your body on the line. Get between them and the people they’re trying to take."

Rene Good and Alex Pretti did just that. There is clear evidence of Flanagan's involvement:

Peggy Flanagan, LT. Governor to Tim Walz of Minnesota is indeed the admin of the signal chat that is actively impeding law enforcement. They even admitted it was her and are talking about fleeing the country.
This is a criminal conspiracy. RICO. Blood is on their hands. pic.twitter.com/3r9C84YJkH

Flanagan should be facing Federal charges:

• 18 U.S.C. § 111: Assaulting, resisting, opposing, impeding, intimidating, or interfering with federal officers (including ICE agents) engaged in official duties.
  • "Forcibly" interfering doesn't always require physical violence; courts have interpreted it to include creating intimidating situations through numbers, surrounding agents, or actions that prevent them from performing arrests. Physical interposition (e.g., bodies blocking paths) often qualifies.
  • Penalties: Up to 1 year (misdemeanor) base, but escalates to felony (up to 8–20 years) if a deadly weapon, bodily injury, or death results (relevant given the two fatal shootings amid heightened tensions).
• 18 U.S.C. § 372: Conspiracy to impede or injure officers of the United States.
  • Criminalizes conspiracies (two or more people) to prevent, by force, intimidation, or threat, someone from discharging federal duties or to injure them on account of those duties.
  • If evidence shows coordination (e.g., Signal groups directing people to arrive and physically interfere), this fits. Penalty: Up to 6 years.
• 18 U.S.C. § 371: General conspiracy to commit any offense against the United Stat
• A catch-all for agreeing to violate laws like § 111. Requires an overt act in furtherance (e.g., protesters showing up and blocking). Penalty: Up to 5 years.
• 18 U.S.C. § 1505: Obstruction of proceedings before federal agencies.
  • Covers corruptly obstructing or impeding agency functions (e.g., ICE enforcement actions treated as "proceedings"). Less commonly applied here but invoked in some interference cases

BTW, the shooting of Alex Pretti involved CBP, not ICE, if you're keeping score.

Peggy Flanagan (and probably Tim Walz as well) is sending their proxy soldiers out to intentionally impede and obstruct ICE and CBP operations. What they should be doing is telling residents to stand down and let ICE do its job. But now I am convinced there is a grand plan at work. Walz, Frey, and Flanagan want to see injuries and deaths. It creates an emotional wave, as seen by Obama and Clinton weighing in, let alone idiots like Kathy Hochul.  It's an effort to get the Feds to back off not only illegal alien criminals, but also off of the fraud investigations.

Trump should double down.

It provides a great deal of intel for the FBI and whatever other organizations are brought in to determine the command structure.

I’ve been saying this from the beginning
This is all coordinated from the top, MN govt is involved, trying to protect the fraud - foreign involvement as well
Nick Shirley & Cam Higby deserve medals of honor for exposing all the fraud & corruption

[RayChuang88]

The thing I REALLY worry about is some protester, having nothing to lose, will actually throw a REAL hand grenade at ICE/DHS officers with tragic results.

And it's not as crazy as it seems, given that hand grenades from Russian and Chinese sources are not that hard to get on the black market.

“Let’s you and him fight.”

[pfflier]

This is a strategy I witnessed years ago in the protests at the University of Oklahoma.

The ideological cattle and the stupid were in the front of the protest. The organizers were using bullhorns to manipulate them safely from far in the rear, immune to any consequences.

BRING OUT YOUR LEMMINGS !!!!!!

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

He took a gun to a “peace Protest”. Someone saw it and yelled ...”GUN!” Now he is dead.
Reminds me of a scene in LETHAL WEAPON in which under cover cop Mel Gibson dressed as a bum sitting in a police station removes his firearm from his pocket. Someone sees it and screams “GUN!” and all he!! breaks lose .
In REAL LIFE, Mel would have been dead within a few seconds.

Typical of *leaders* in oppresive regimes.

Stir up the unhinged in the populace to die for your cause while you lead a safe, comfortable, armed guards, gated community, sanitary life.

[wizardoz]

No wonder Wikipedia was updated the minute Pretti’s name was released. They knew from the Signal chat who he was, and had three hours to write that page and get it ready to go.

[wizardoz]

The resemblance is actually striking!

Have yet to see any Somalians in these riots(peaceful protests).

But I have seen some videos of Somalians telling the protesters that they the Somalians are the masters and the protesters are their slaves.

[Who is John Galt?]

'Give your lives gladly, for our Somali overlords!'
