To the Left, the radicals who invaded Cities Church during services last week are heroes, just as the BLM rioters were celebrated and even kneeled to by Democrats, most famously in the halls of Congress.
They are the “good guys,” right? Fighting against the Gestapo.
William Kelly, “DaWoke Farmer,” shouted, “This ain’t God’s house. This is the house of the devil.”

Yeah, well, no. They are the opposite. They are cruel Black Bloc revolutionaries who are allied with radical Democrats, including officeholders. They are playing an inside game and an outside game, with the goal of intimidating and even harming anybody who stands in their way.

There was a not insignificant amount of coverage of the attack on Cities Church, but for some reason, the details of exactly what happened have not come out because they make the Black Bloc tactics look as bad as they really are.
One woman broke her arm.
Congregants “were terrorized, our children were weeping, college students and young women were sobbing, it was impactfly and it will take time to work through.”

The whole attack was horrifying, but the details bring home just how evil the tactics of the attackers really were. Children were targeted specifically, and parents were separated from their younger children who were in Bible study. The children were screamed at and told that their parents were going to hell.
Nekima Armstrong, a main ringleader, said that @citieschurch “cannot pretend to be a house of God while harboring someone who is directing ICE agents to wreak havoc upon our community and who killed Renee Good.”

So how did the press cover the story? About as you would expect. The best example comes from an interview with Nekima Armstrong on CNN. She outright lied and got zero pushback. “I am not going to dispute your saying what happened.”
This was only from YESTERDAY and it did not age well.
Nekima Armstrong LIED to CNN and said the mob group participated in the church service they disrupted.
Now she’s arrested.

Armstrong is a lawyer, activist, and former head of the NAACP here in the Twin Cities. She was a leader of the BLM protests in 2020, and has gotten tongue baths from the media here.
What she actually is is a Black Bloc anarchist. And the media treats her like Martin Luther King.
All you have to do is read what the “protesters” did at the church and compare it to their descriptions of what happened and how the media has treated them to understand the level of propaganda we are being subjected to. It is off the charts.

It is impossible to describe how difficult it is to fight the headwinds this creates for those of us trying to get the truth out. The goal of everyone involved is to create so much division and chaos that the propaganda war is won. This is about national politics, and our community has been chosen as the place to make a stand.
There is a full-on domestic terrorist insurrection taking place — with the full-on support of many/most Democrat elected officials and their co-conspirators in the media — in the horribly run state of Minnesota. Interesting read here. https://t.co/CFwYJv0uyn

The local officials want that for their own reasons—to take attention away from their corruption—and the money and activists from around the country have flowed here. As investigations are being done, we’ve discovered that foreign money has been flowing here, and wherever the Black Bloc shows up, massive resources are poured in to support them.
Gas masks, food, whistles, and signs suddenly show up. The operation is so sophisticated that intelligence is collected, and the Black Bloc shows up even before federal officials, who are often delayed by people trained to interfere with their operations.

The skirmish that led to Saturday’s fatal shooting of an agitator by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis and the response that followed were driven by a complex network of far-left organizations with a wide range of causes, a Fox News Digital investigation found.
A coordinated web of encrypted chats, street alerts and tracking of ICE “Abductors” in a sophisticated database reviewed by Fox News Digital shows that agitators were already mobilized at the scene where 37-year-old Alex Pretti was killed minutes before any shots were fired.
ICE and Border Patrol agents were there to arrest an illegal immigrant criminal, and Pretti and others were there, outside a donut shop, to meet them as part of a strategic pattern of organized interference with law enforcement operations.
Over the following hours, a national network of socialist, communist and Marxist-Leninist cells in the United States leveraged the tragic fatality into a nationwide protest operation. While grief and outrage over Pretti’s death is genuine, the network’s real-time rapid response, using short sensational video clips and emojis as weapons of propaganda, offers a window into the disciplined logistics, messaging and coordination of far-left warriors fomenting insurgency-like confrontation with authorities.
The Cities Church operation was just a small part of this larger operation. It was planned well before, with Don Lemon recruited to be their initial propagandist, and allies of Governor Walz helping organize and promote it. Other allies of his are calling for more invasions.

Once you get past the propaganda, you begin to see how evil these tactics are. Ordinary people are being hurt, along with their children. Innocent people on the streets are being stopped and asked to prove they are not ICE. Citizen journalists are being stalked and attacked, and local police tell them that they shouldn’t be there in the first place.
The cities belong to the Black Bloc. As does the state.
As does the Democratic Farmer-Labor Party (Our Democrats).

Notice how the DFL is speaking for the state, as if they own it.
This is an insurrection.
