Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz says he suspects white supremacist groups and drug cartels are carrying out some of the violence in Minneapolis, but cannot confirm it at this time.

Walz said the widespread riots across the country appear to be part of a coordinated effort by professionals.

“We’re seeing evidence of some pretty sophisticated attempts to cause problems,” the governor said.

Harrington said that while they have gotten reports of drug cartels “redirecting their sources to restore their drug markets” in the area amid the unrest, but that is a “secondary or tertiary concern as we’re trying to deal with right now life and death situations on the street.”

Police: Mexican drug cartel enforcers torture two teenagers in St. Paul

(exerpt)

Professionals were sent in to recover drugs stolen from Sinaloan syndicate.

Three enforcers hired by Mexico’s biggest drug cartel flew from Los Angeles to Minnesota last month, kidnapped two local teenagers, and then tortured them for hours at a house in St. Paul in an effort to recover stolen drugs, according to court documents reviewed by the Star Tribune.

“Minneapolis-St. Paul has become a major market,” said Kent Bailey, a former senior U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agent who now leads a federally funded counter-narcotics program in the metro. “You can sit there and keep your head in the freaking sand but the sheer volume of the drugs being seized indicates otherwise.”

The DEA compares the structure of Mexican cartel cells in the U.S. to supply chains where operatives are aware of their own roles but may not know much about other functions. That creates a challenge for agents trying to work their way up the ladder.

Sounds like the Governor’s claiming that it has nothing to do with the memo from Rat Party Headquarters.

I was watching the presser when he was asked about white supremacists groups being involved. Instead of laughing it off, he gave it a but of credence. It is not fake news as the Governor entertained the notion.

[Joe Boucher]

Can Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz be this stoopid?
You betcha.

[GOPJ]

Antifa and George Soros...

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is clueless if he can’t see the Antifa white thugs in the riots...

[GOPJ]

Did you notice how few black women were involved in the riots?

[cyberstoic]

You forgot all the Somails that Bush and Obama brought there. This is Ilhan Omar’s district.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

The Gov is full of beans.

[bagster]

Speculation only:

This is bigger than Antifa. Antifa are foot soldiers.

It is known that derp state works with the cartels.

This is a major derp operation. They are employing all their assets.

No, but you are right. It is mostly young men. I wonder why so few women?

[I want the USA back]

A subtle way of blaming Trump for what’s actually a left-inspired coup d’etat.

BO had a program of replacing white people with third world people who were never going to assimilate.

BO was truly evil, as are his fellow apparatchiki of the CCP and Muslim Brotherhood.

29m33s to 32m50s - Walz, then Harrington answering “journalist” re drug cartels and white supremacists.
Walz says something suggesting “John” had already touched on the subject (presumably John Harrington), but I haven’t checked for that.
Walz and Harrington sounded like they were prepared for the question & they make sure they say they are talking to The President about this stuff.
who was the “journalist” who brought up the matter?

“The problem is that American whites have been demonized and demeaned into becoming 2020’s version of the 1930’s German Jews.”

Yup.

And after years of demonization, look what happened to them.

[GOPJ]

I saw more white women than black women... What’s your best guess?

[TwelveOfTwenty]

Blame everyone and everything but the democrats and their policies, which have been running our cities into the ground for decades.

oh, it must be true!!!

10 March: NYT: Russia Trying to Stoke U.S. Racial Tensions Before Election, Officials Say
Russian intelligence services are trying to incite violence by white supremacist groups to sow chaos in the United States, American intelligence officials said.
By Julian E. Barnes and Adam Goldman; Matthew Rosenberg contributed reporting from Washington, and Sheera Frenkel from San Francisco.
WASHINGTON — The Russian government has stepped up efforts to inflame racial tensions in the United States as part of its bid to influence November’s presidential election, including trying to incite violence by white supremacist groups and to stoke anger among African-Americans, according to seven American officials briefed on recent intelligence.

Russia’s lead intelligence agency, the S.V.R., has apparently gone beyond 2016 methods of interference, when operatives tried to stoke racial animosity by creating fake Black Lives Matter groups and spreading disinformation to depress black voter turnout. Now, Russia is also trying to influence white supremacist groups, the officials said; they gave few details, but one official said federal investigators are examining how at least one neo-Nazi organization with ties to Russia is funded...
Russian operatives are also trying to push black extremist groups toward violence, according to multiple officials, though they did not detail how...

“We see Russia is willing to conduct more brazen and disruptive influence operations because of how it perceives its conflict with the West,” David Porter, a top agent on the F.B.I.’s Foreign Influence Task Force, said last month at an election security conference in Washington.
He added, “To put it simply, in this space, Russia wants to watch us tear ourselves apart.”...

American officials are also examining ties between Russian intelligence and some white supremacist groups, according to an intelligence official...
