The far-left Minnesota group that wants to destroy the USA: When they’re referring to the USA as ‘Turtle Island,’ you know they’re serious (and nuts).

Have you ever wondered why it seems as though some on the left are bent on destroying the country?  Have you also wondered why some leftists have a certain affinity for foreign causes and countries but couldn’t connect the dots?  Does it also seem that some on the left are just following along as “useful innocents” (or the other I-word)?

A piece from Glenn Beck, the non-profit Mauro Institute, and the Washington Free Beacon will go a long way in answering these questions.  When it comes to the fringe far left, they always seem to reach for the extremes in beliefs while dragging their rank-and-file comrades along to fill in all the crowd scenes.  Insights that explain why the extremist elements of the far left are out to destroy the country, as well as show that their U.I.s may be going along for other reasons.

A recent video from Glenn Beck gives an overview of the information:

We’ll start with one of the primary groups that you’ve probably never heard of, which has been intimately involved in the chaos and obstruction in Minneapolis and surrounding areas: the Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee (MIRAC), exposed by the efforts of Glenn Beck and the Mauro Institute.

Their goal is not to work within our civil society and strengthen America. Their goal is to seize civil society, overthrow the system, empower our adversaries, and deploy the same rhetorical and political strategies that supporters of Hamas used so successfully against the U.S. and especially law enforcement.

MIRAC appears on an “MN Community Response Resources” list circulated in Signal chats used to organize against ICE. Among the listed tasks is “Train up Community Members in Rapid Response and Intervention,” for which MIRAC’s “Immigration Raid Response Trainings” are specifically recommended.

This is an excerpt from the MIRAC website entitled website:

As noted in other investigations from Glenn Beck, the group often softens its language in describing its aims and tactics, because it only gets worse from here.  MIRAC and other extreme far-left groups are part of what Ryan Mauro characterizes as the “Turtle Island Intifada.”  MIRAC justified this moniker on Instagram:

From Turtle Island to Palestine, occupation is a crime! Self-determination for Palestine!

For those unfamiliar with the more extreme reaches of far-left insanity, “Turtle Island” refers to the North American continent and, more specifically, the United States.  It harkens back to native tribe creation mythology that the continent resides on the back of a giant turtle.  Somehow, this means the country is illegitimate and thus needs to be “returned” to them or something.

We need to halt the idea that those referred to “indians” who lived in teepees are actually native and or indigenous.

They are not natives. They are not indigenous.

Then, they need to die. No further discussion. Daddy always said, be careful for what you wish.

Turtle island. Brought back from the past. How cute! Formerly used by enviro wack jobs. Very hostile and confrontational. Not much has changed.

Ummmmm.... pardon me but Tubul, Jerakeen, Berilia, and Great T'Phon would like a word.

(The world is on the back of a turtle is a common myth that occurs on every continent except maybe Australia)

“ The world is on the back of a turtle is a common myth…”

Yes, and it’s turtles all the way down.

"We believe no human being is illegal."

It's not the person that's illegal, it's their presence here. Go someplace else and it's probably the same deal. They can believe it or not but believing it doesn't change it.

A quick search says MIRAC does not receive any direct government funding.

I still doubt it.

IMHO, nearly ALL radical leftist PACs, NGOs and 501(c) groups would not survive if they did not receive government funding in some form - even if transferred through other entities.

The USA debases its own currency, and creates massive Federal debt - often to fund its own destruction.

Turtle Island? So, then, nothing to do with Mitch McConnell.
That concept of ‘stolen land’ is SO ridiculous and self serving for anyone who embraces chaos and believes in Anarchy in order to ‘level the playing field’.

Just another manifestation of Class Envy and rationalized systems of failure across the board. We, on the other side must resist this Doom Cycle, where everyone except the elites will end up with next to nothing.

This has been a focused nationwide attempt to crash the economy via stealing by politicians bureaucrats and leftist enemies as well as foreign adversaries with a focus on the CLOWARD PIVEN Strategy and a take over of cities and states in an attempt to break up the country and imprison and enslave and kill. Dangerous times.

This is not even the end of the beginning.

Total frauds. The Injuns had no concept that they were on a continent, let alone island. They were busy killing the other tribes and each other to do something, like say, build things, smelt metals, invent anything. They were still in the Stone Age when Europeans arrived. They didn’t even have wheels.

What I found this AM, is that this is a part of the Hegelian Dialectic play book.

The far-left Minnesota group has deep anger issues about almost everything with a supreme egos believing thay have answers to everything.

Failures were just a test in their mind but still believe they are right.

You know they’re serious (and nuts) indeed.

They need to be tested for LSD use.

They are not nuts.

They know exactly what they are doing.
