The truth will set you free

Each day brings to light more information. Some false narratives are being debunked, and yet some false reports continue to linger. There are still many questions that must be answered. Time is of the essence to get to the truth.

When lies replace facts, violence follows. Who is behind the coordinated opposition to ICE in the Twin Cities? The most widely referred to period of riots and burning in relation to Black Lives Matter (BLM) began after the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police on May 25, 2020, and the viral spread of video showing his death.

When interviewed in 2020 about the BLM riots in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Gwen Walz (the wife of Gov. Tim Walz), said: “I could smell the burning tires, and that was — that was a very real thing. And I kept the windows open as long as I could because I felt like that was such a touchstone of what was happening.”

This is not normal. And now we have the same chaos.

Tell Congress to investigate those responsible for coordinating and agitating this violence. This crisis demands truth, not propaganda.

Even local Minneapolis law enforcement leaders have admitted that cooperation between state and federal authorities could have prevented the chaos. Instead, Minnesota’s political leadership refused to coordinate and chose to vilify ICE. This emboldens agitators.

Alex Pretti is not a peaceful nurse as he was once portrayed. He violently kicked an ICE vehicle on January 13. He was clearly an agitator with a violent history. The day of his tragic death was not his first encounter with ICE. I am not saying the Border Patrol officer was justified in shooting him.

But if you are armed and law enforcement detains you, why resist? This is a recipe for disaster.

There is some evidence that Signal communication groups are coordinating the violence, and there are even allegations that the Minnesota lieutenant governor is involved. How did these agitators get the cell phone number of James O’Keefe and threaten him with death as soon as he entered Minneapolis? These are questions that need to be answered.

Organized agitator networks are attempting to nationalize this unrest and spread it throughout the country. The so-called “No Kings” protest movement is using the Minnesota tragedy to mobilize demonstrations.

This is the same playbook used during the BLM riots — seize one distorted story and weaponize it for recruitment. This is why Congress needs to get involved. Fax Congress to expose the whole story and hold accountable those responsible.

We have limited time to stop this violence from metastasizing.

Riots and protests are appearing in places like Los Angeles and New York. Organizers are paying protesters to inflame tensions. Could any of this have to do with the upcoming midterm elections? You would be naive not to ask that question.

Your gift now — or your decision to become a recurring donor — fuels Liberty Counsel Action’s fight to expose the truth.

We cannot allow preventable deaths to be swept under the rug. We cannot allow riots to be franchised across America. And we cannot allow Congress to look away while radicals rewrite reality.
