The US seems to be moving towards soft secession as Blue states openly block federal laws & agents

If secession is the direction, then the Right CANNOT let the Leftists set the rules. If a state can effectively secede from a nation, then the counties can secede from the state
1/ All the "Blue" states are based on the same thing. Some urban assholes in big cities use voter fraud & mass immigration (California being a good example), to control the entire state, while the outstate counties are almost entirely Red.

This isn't about perception management or "blackpilling". What matters is the facts on the ground.

These are NOT protesters. These are brownshirts. Paramilitary, answering to a political party, asserting violent dominance over a civilian population, with the aid of the police
1/ This is something new & poisonous in America. Highly illegal. Also likely to spread to places like California, New York and Oregon unless it is stopped & stopped hard.

Minnesota was supposed to be the test case, that set the national precedents.

The article below has the "smoking gun" for the gross incompetence with Nashville Electric.

Under their Leftist CEO - with no prior utility or operational experience - they reduced their tree trimming budget by ~1/3, from $21M to $14M.

"Preserving the canopy"
1/ was the mantra which she fully endorsed. The Left wanted to leave those big, beautiful trees right over the power lines, which then fell on those power lines when the next (statistically predictable) big ice storm occurred.

Very worthwhile long post from Eriksen, that is a QT of @romanhelmetguy Both originals should be read in full.

It is a good explanation of why I'm a heritage American regionalist. I do have a tribe. I do have a place. Proudly. These are essential to being human & not a slave.
1/ @romanhelmetguy Atomization is the driving national force in American culture, American business and in Leftist politics in particular.

The norm for white collar workers is to grow up in one or more places, to move at 18 for college, perhaps again at 22 for graduate school, then again

Let's forget about the deaths, set them aside. What the Left generally doesn't understand is that we live in the wealthiest large nation that has ever existed - and it is surprisingly fragile.

A civil war would plunge them into abject poverty, and even if they win,
1/ their lives would never again likely be anywhere near as comfortable as they are right now.

What are the Dem power blocs? Generally they are:

1. Teachers and other govt employees
2. Blacks & immigrants, often on benefits
3. Urban managerial class

Anyone outraged over the ICE shooting of Pretti needs to face a test.

Be given a gun, and put in a room with an armed criminal, with 20 video cameras capturing the encounter from every angle.

They can kill you at any time. You are only allowed to shoot the moment before
1/ they would otherwise kill you. If it looks from the angle of any of the 20 cameras - which are capturing things you literally can't see - that you shot the criminal too early, then you go to prison for life. The whole thing will go down in a matter of seconds.

It looks like:

1) MN law enforcement is actively aiding the Leftist radicals in obstructing federal agents
2) The Leftists have a highly organized & well funded organization
3) The FBI doesn't seem interested in doing anything about this.
More in the next several posts.
1/ This is the post from James O'Keefe.

The Leftist radicals were able to use license plates to identify RWers.

The Left & media deliberately confuse things, but the "protestors" are doing 4 distinct things, with 4 different needed responses.

1. Peaceful protest - constitutional right
2. Disturbing the peace - local arrest
3. Obstructing LEO - federal arrest
4. Assaulting LEO - bang!
1/ Let's go through these in reverse order.

The man shot yesterday was a "grappler". I saw the video. He came in from the side & physically assaulted a federal agent.

Now, if you or I did that to an armed local, state or federal agent - we all know what would happen next.

The existential problem for Trump & the RW is the Judicial Coup & the Judicial Trap. If Trump takes actions that some Leftist judge says are "unlawful", then the RINOs in the House & Senate will join the Dems & bring him down, with numerous arrests. This is the Rubicon.
1/ As an example, Trump orders an Army division into Minneapolis, a federal judge declares that illegal & Trump goes ahead anyway. The RINOs in the House & Senate are waiting for this moment, along with their Dem uniparty allies. A national emergency is declared 24/7 in the media

The outcome of the Battle for Minneapolis may be a turning point not just in US history, but also world history.

The State of MN is currently a lawless state, in defiance of federal laws & forces. Having been caught in massive frauds, the state is now in open insurrection.
1/ Most importantly, the Twin Cities are small & isolated. Just two counties in the midst of the vast, Red Heartland, that includes the rest of MN.

If the full force of the federal govt can't bring Minneapolis to heel and enforce the law, this nation is over.

If I'm following Charles correctly, then there's no question of what happens next. This wraps around to my thread of last week (next post), where I said the Rubicon had already been crossed by the Dems

By threatening mass arrests they ensure battle, that die has already
1/ been cast. As covered in that thread, the Dems are threatening to arrest the Administration, ICE agents, likely Border Patrol, and any in the military who follow orders that the Left doesn't like. Unprecedented, we've never seen anything like this.

The relationship between Trump & the RW base is complicated, and has always carried dangers for both sides.

Trump is a billionaire elitist who saw an enormous opportunity, a veritable crown in the gutter, in terms of average RW Americans in the Heartland,
1/ whose interests were not being served by RINOs.

Trump is a natural showman, a good marketer, and he created the MAGA branding strategy, as the core of his running as a populist, telling us what we wanted to hear. He did a masterful job.

The core issue between the US & Europe is that as a Trump voter, I would be jailed for my beliefs in Europe. No party with our political beliefs is allowed to win.

That means we're not allies or friends. This is non-negotiable for the EU. Treaties are therefore irrelevant.
1/ There was an underlying premise to the West, over the last 80 years. We were the "good guys", meaning we were the alliance of democracies.

The EU has been redefining what a "democracy" is. Certain political beliefs & parties are forbidden.

The current anger between Europeans, Canadians & Americans is the result of the artificial world order of the last 35 years. This was not a natural state, but the result of American military hegemony. As that hegemony ends & the world fractures into geopolitical blocs,
1/ then many imbalances, weaknesses and vulnerabilities are being revealed. Oh, they were there the whole time, but nobody thought about them as the US maintained order.

A declining empire is naturally a time of chaos - when imbalances are corrected & weaknesses are exploited

European history is one of warrior nations. But, that was generations ago. The supposed purpose of the EU is to make sure there will never be another WW, and they have effectively neutered their men to make sure this happens.

I'm curious - who will be the new Euro legions?
1/ When I say "neutered", I mean they have been deliberately raised from a societal perspective to be less masculine, in the troublesome sense. They are raised to be non-violent, to have zero experience with weapons, and to passively accept what is increasingly feminine authority

Iran update. We now know what happened.

On the afternoon of Jan 8, the protests were peaking. That evening, the IRGC & Basri did follow their orders, they fired their Kalashnikovs into the crowds, thousands died - and the protests ended right there.

Tragic, and it breaks the
1/ Color Revolution narrative, because that only happens with when liberal Western nations are in charge.

The Iranians are like the Chinese, and when faced with popular revolt, the security forces will follow orders and will kill.

People wonder if & when Trump will cross the Rubicon. They're watching the wrong bank.

The Dems are crossing the Rubicon in great numbers. Jeffries is threatening the entire administration - and ICE - with jail time, less than a year into office. America as we knew it is over
1/ That may sound like hyperbole, and I wish it was, but it is not. We have not seen anything like this since the Civil War.

A league of Blue states has agreed to ignore election results, ignore federal law, and label Trump a tyrant while calling US law enforcement agents thugs.

QT of my thread on HSI as a parallel FBI 👇(drill down).

The split between security forces that is what matters here, it is new, and a lot is happening - fast.

Homeland security vs state govts. Disputes over control of the National Guard. Threats against US military service
1/ members if they follow orders from their chain of command that the political opposition disagrees with.

What we are seeing from the Dems is unprecedented. Homeland Security, consisting of ICE (including HSI) and the Border Patrol is the largest US law enforcement agency.

The Trump humiliation of Russia goes further than I thought. I had thought the ship was seized before the Russian escorts got there. No, per the WSJ the ship was actively under escort. The surface vessel & submarine were right there, when the US military went ahead & seized it
1/ From the article:

"The U.S. accelerated its campaign against a shadow fleet of tankers that ship Venezuelan oil, with the military forcibly boarding a ship being escorted by the Russian navy"

Another important point has to do with the increase in autism diagnoses. On the surface, a highly gifted child can show what a 105 IQ social worker might mistake as Asbergers.

In point of fact, a highly gifted person can do many things a legit autistic never could.
1/ The highly gifted are fine with unstructured situations, nonverbal cues, aware of the emotions of other people, have Theory of Mind, understand metaphors, and are capable of normal social intersections - but only with a small group of people they find sufficiently interesting

Minnesota is a good place to make or break the reform of America, because it is so isolated, and can be targeted.

The fraud isn't even Minnesota, but the Twin Cities metro area. A stinking cesspool of corruption surrounded by cleaner Red counties (including outstate MN).
1/ Yes, yes, while the level of fraud is staggering, it is likely tiny compared to what is happening in CA & NY, let alone the entire nation. That's the problem - the numbers, scale & complexity of theft, fraud & corruption are such that the eyes blur.
