What I Saw at the Battle of Minneapolis: The national media has moved on. Minnesota is still under siege. [View all]

DHS has adopted other tactics. I met two observers who recounted how they had been following a DHS vehicle only to have it lead them to their own house, where it parked and waited—a warning that the government agents knew who they were and where they lived.

The latest trick of the regime has been to pretend that the occupation of Minnesota is over. Greg Bovino was removed from command and the new head of operations, Tom Homan, announced that DHS was pulling out of Minnesota. But this has not happened. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz told us, point blank, “I’ll believe it when I see it.” The observers I spoke to at Whipple said they have seen no reduction in the number of DHS vehicles going in and out on a daily basis, or detainees being released (more on this in a moment, too), or street abductions.1

Another adaptation has been for DHS to push its theater of operations outward from the cities and into the suburbs and exurbs, where the lower population density makes it harder for a critical mass of citizens to observe them.

It is important to understand that observation is what this war is all about. The federal government does not want anyone witnessing what it is doing. Citizens are neither stopping nor impeding the government’s work. They are merely documenting it. And for this affront, the government treats them as adversaries to be controlled, intimidated, arrested, beaten, and occasionally killed.
