New Video Analysis Reveals Flawed and Fatal Decisions in Shooting of Alex Pretti https://youtu.be/aEs0GXA7RyU?si=L_3P7EiWwOzw96jT
It looks like the maga regime is suddenly changing its tune a little bit, but this does not mean much because its at a time when they are plummeting in the polls and are looking for votes, in order to get more funding for Ice, as well as for this year's elections.
ACTING BETTER, IN ORDER TO GET VOTES, IS NOT THE SAME AS BEING BETTER. SO POSITIVE SHIFTS, AT TIMES LIKE THIS, OFFER NO ASSURANCE FOR THE FUTURE.
I VOTE TO DEFUND ICE and then either completely abolish it or at least dismantle it and start over with far more extensive screening and training for its members, and with a pact to never again use it to flood or police our communities. We have local, state and federal law enforcement for that, and more funding and help should be given to them instead of using Ice in our communities.
As for my vote later this year; I am an Independent and not a fan of democrats or republicans, but I feel like I must do all I can to make sure that the maga regime does not continue to monopolize. I WILL NOT FORGET THE PAST YEAR, NO MATTER WHAT CHANGES THEY MAKE, JUST TO GET VOTES. My heart aches for all the people who have been being either distressed, traumatized or ethnically cleansed or killed by Trump's violent wars and threats and ice raids and thefts of lands or resources...etc. This hell cannot continue; masses of people, almost everywhere, have already been left with no sense of security - nothing to trust in, here in America, due to the behaviors of the republicans in charge! America can and should do FAR better than that, permanently - not just for a short time, in order to get votes.
I wish a positive shift were happening, at a time when votes were not needed, because this is what would give some desperately needed reassurance, but this is not the case right now. I will not forget the past year and its (still burning) negative effects on masses of lives here in America as well as in places like Palestine and Venezuela and Greenland and Canada and Iran and Syria and Nigeria and Lebanon...etc. And I cannot forget the fear I still feel due to the ice raids and the ongoing plight of the Palestinian people. Its all just sad as hell. I just want to cry every time I think of what our world has come to.
REAL AND PERMANENT positive change, AND recovery from the past year, must happen before I can start feeling better. And I think most people feel the same way.
It appears that Ice is being used to target poor people, and abduct and imprison homeless people as well as masses of harmless immigrants, although they claim to be only going after violent criminal immigrants! And this has been being done with hate filled prejudice in the maga regime. Its just not right!
WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF HARMLESS PEOPLE THEY HAVE ABDUCTED AND IMPRISONED INTO "DETENTION CENTERS"????
Directly after killing Alex Pretti, the Trump Regime is now saying that they will stop Ice operations IF Minnesota hands over information they want, including "access to state voter rolls" and state welfare information, which Minnesota is NOT obligated to give without court orders. It is shocking that American officials are using these sorts of extremely underhanded tactics here in America as well as abroad - tactics that hurt people and bring them to their knees and then basically says, 'do what I want or you will continue being hurt.' Its utterly despicable and should be illegal! But they seem to have no shame, which is also very disturbing. It all must be stopped.
I have not heard anyone talking about how several Ice men had literally pinned Alex to the ground and was holding him there while another one was beating him with an object, BEFORE they shot and killed him. I feel that this is an important part of this horrid situation, which should not be overlooked. Watch the Ice man on the left at the 56 min time on this video...
I think the Minnesota area is being targeted, because a couple years ago I had a dream, which appeared to be forewarning of a huge forest fire dipping far down into that whole area from the Canadian border. And this fire appears to have been set to intentionally devastate that area. (This "fire" may be symbolic of what Trump is starting in Minnesota.)
I wonder why that area would be targeted, and the only things I can think of are that there are a lot of Native American reservations up there. I hear that there is a lot of oil and minerals in that part of our country. Trump appears to be targeting Minnesota because it is a democrat run state that did not vote for him, and is also trying to start a civil war there, using Noem and thousands of mean Ice thugs... and now two Ice murders surrounded by obvious extreme dishonesty and lawlessness, in order to provoke people into fighting more violently...etc. (The Trump administration's lies are VERY disturbing. It is creepy that they lie so blatantly and obviously, as if trying to gaslight people and upset people.) I don't know how they live with themselves, as they terrorize most of Minnesota, and upset the rest of America, in this process. They must be stopped.

This, like the Renee Good killing, looks like an angry murder. And Trump and Ice leaders are lying about it yet another time; immediately defending the Ice brutality and blaming and slandering the victim with the "terrorist" label, even though the videos prove otherwise. They again flipped key parts of this situation into the opposite of what it really was, claiming that Alex had "attacked" Ice. And they were tampering with evidence and trying to prevent local investigations, again. Local officials had to get a restraining order to prevent Ice leaders from tampering with evidence.
Because the Minnesotans are video taping Ice activities, there are many recorded views of this Ice killing. Nobody has brought them all together for the full picture in one report yet, but this is the basics on how it played out... Prior to the shooting, Alex Pretti was video taping Ice. An Ice man got angry with Alex and tried to intimidate him. Alex backed away and was totally non-confrontational. Then two women and Alex were videotaping Ice, when Ice men aggressively came after the woman and pushed her to the ground. Alex tried to help her, while the ice agents sprayed something in their faces (most likely pepper spray). Alex has his phone in one hand and the other trying to shield his face, he is not fighting back and is just trying to help the woman and protect himself. Then a group of ice men grab Alex away from the woman and shove him to the ground. At least three of them have Alex pinned to the ground as one repeatedly and violently hits Alex in the head with something. Then they notice that Alex has a gun on his hip and one of them reaches in to remove the gun from it's holster. AFTER they removed the gun they all suddenly lifted off of Alex and started shooting him...around 5-10 shots that killed Alex and left him in pools of blood on the street.
Oddly, most news reports cut out the part where Ice is beating Alex on the head after at least three of them have him pinned to the ground. Yet this is a VERY important part, because it shows Ice's violent ways. And I am having a hard time finding the video that fully and clearly shows the beating. But this one briefly shows part of it; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dnkY8uGE0Q
In the best case scenario, they can say that some of the Ice men panicked after they realized Alex had a gun, and that some of them did not realize that the gun had been removed. BUT they ALL already had him pinned onto the ground with his hands out in front of him (obviously empty), so all they had to do is grab his hands and put them behind his back, in order to prevent any chance of him reaching for his gun, which is what ANY law enforcement person would do. But they didn't grab his hands - they actually lifted off of him, as if they knew he was not a threat, and then started shooting him.
In the worse case scenario, a bunch of angry trigger happy Ice thugs attacked Alex, beat him and then ended up finding an excuse to murder him - a gun attached to his hip. This scenario is the reality that most people see in the videos, myself included.
ALEX HAD TRULY NOT "ATTACKED" ICE AND WAS NOT A "TERRORIST" AND IT IS HORRIBLY WRONG THAT OUR OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN SO DISHONEST IN THIS SITUATION AS WELL AS IN RENEE GOOD'S.
ALEX WAS AN OUTDOORSMAN WHO HAD A PERMIT TO CARRY A GUN AND HE HAD NOT PULLED IT FROM IT'S CASE AS THE ICE MEN ATTACKED HIM. ALEX WAS KNOWN AS A KIND HEARTED NURSE WHO GLADLY SERVED HIS COMMUNITY. ALEX COULD BE YOU OR ME OR ANYONE WHO CAN CARE TO HELP PEOPLE WHO ARE IN NEED, AND IS CONCERNED FOR SAFETY ENOUGH TO CARRY A GUN FOR POSSIBLE NEEDED SELF DEFENCE AS HE STOOD AGAINST VIOLENT BULLIES WHO HAD RECENTLY KILLED RENEE GOOD...ETC.
This video shows two of the views of this killing and is the only one that shows what lead up to it. (Other videos show them beating him and also them removing the gun from Alex's hip...etc.) https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/witness-videos-of-the-fatal-shooting-of-alex-pretti/vi-AA1UZR3L?ocid=BingNewsVerp
This news broadcast took place directly after the killing, and it exposes one of the ways that Ice attacks and provokes people by rudely shoving them onto the ground and hitting them with pepper spray even when there is no threat and they are "behind the lines"...etc. https://youtu.be/kQmsZl5tqIM?si=5gPQc8ZDu6BT-cRL
As the Trump regime blames and degrades the victims of Ice brutality, instead of caring about how people feel, it just makes things worse. It appears that the vast majority of the people, whom Ice is abducting and imprisoning, are either harmless or innocent people, and many people are being terrorized and hurt in that process. Because of this, most community members are scared. So, I was glad to see this officer and others standing up for the people in a plea for Trump/Ice to choose a better way...
Minnesota professional Law Enforcement asks, "Can we find a way to do these things without scaring the hell out of our community members?"
Ice has been violently smashing in doors to people's homes and smashing windows out of people's cars, to abduct them - to tear them away from their families and loved ones and imprison them in "detention" centers. Over 70,000 people are now imprisoned in Trump's Ice detention centers, and most of them are surely harmless or innocent people!!! It ALL must be stopped.
I cried as I watched the following video. These "detention" centers seem like nazi concentration camps or Israel's abusive "detention" prisons. It is so sad that harmless, and sometimes innocent, people are being terrorized and humiliated and treated like "garbage." And my instincts are telling me that far worse, than what is shown in the following video, is happening in some of those "detention" centers here in America...
Just because my view is different from yours does not mean its wrong.
"We may have all come on different ships, but we're in the same boat now."
"Peace is not simply the absence of conflict, but the existence of justice for all people."
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
"The richer we have become materially, the poorer we become morally and spiritually."
"May I stress the need for courageous, intelligent, and dedicated leadership... Leaders of sound integrity. Leaders not in love with publicity, but in love with justice. Leaders not in love with money, but in love with humanity. Leaders who can subject their particular egos to the greatness of the cause."
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; Only Light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate; only Love can do that."
I think anyone, who finds riches and flashy fake appearances undesirable, will be able to relate to this Greenland official as much as I could. She, and masses of Greenlanders filling the streets, have made it VERY clear that they do NOT want Trump to buy or violently steal Greenland. And their wishes should be respected.
Surely the vast majority of us American people do NOT want stolen lands or stolen oil...etc., from Greenland or Venezuela or Gaza or any other place. Its all just too wrong and disgraceful. And we do not want people to continue to be threatened and bullied or killed by our leader. Period.
The capital punishment tactic of Trump's regime is very evident in his targeting of ALL of the Somali American's just because a few individuals were caught in the fraud crime. Targeting thousands of innocent people for what a few did is extreme prejudice and is a hate crime, in my eyes. Its horribly wrong and should be stopped, especially since Trump recently also started revoking visa's and has given ALL Somali people until March to leave America. This is a horribly sad situation.
Noem and the rest of the Trump regime has repeatedly claimed that they are only going after targeted illegal and criminal immigrants, but this has repeatedly proven to not be true. They have VERY obviously been using Ice to harass or abduct people that Trump hates, like democrats and poor legal immigrants, and people who have dark skin and the Somali people who are legally here. And it now appears that they have even been abducting poor homeless people and scoffed up a batch of Native American's in that process. The Natives are concerned that their tribal members being abducted may also have been an act of vengeance from Noem, because of them banning her from their reservations when she was governor of South Dacota. But no matter what the reason, its just too wrong.
NOBODY BELONGS HERE MORE THAN THE NATIVE AMERICANS, AND IMMIGRATION OFFICERS ABDUCTING AND IMPRISONING THEM IS JUST TOO WRONG. BUT IT SHOWS THAT ICE IS DOING FAR MORE THAN THEY CLAIM TO BE DOING, AND THAT PEOPLE, FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE, ARE SCARED AND ANGRY FOR GOOD REASON.
I have felt more scared, due to the Ice abductions. I have repeatedly told myself that I have no reason to be scared. But now that I know they are abducting homeless people, my fear is validated. I am also part Native and I belong here more than they do, but does this make me even more vulnerable under this regime? It appears so. And what happens to the people, after they are abducted and imprisoned/"detained," is a mystery and this is very disturbing.

In 2016, as I watched some of Trump's debates, I had a vision which showed him looking out of a door way with a giant black gargoyle standing behind him. At that time, and since then, I have doubted this being a depiction of reality. And I have been being too heavily targeted to reach a place of feeling sure about what it meant. But I no longer have any doubts and I am now sure that there is a VERY dark/evil force backing Trump, because his actions, through the past year, prove it.
I think the evil that targets humanity, wanted Trump to be president of the USA, because his own high levels of dysfunction make it easy for them to use him to cause mass chaos and confusion and destruction in America as well as around the globe. And this is what we are all faced with right now.
Trump claims to be making "peace through strength," but this is impossible, because his "strength" is abusive and violent and dangerous. He is filled with a hate and prejudice, that is most likely being fueled by brainwashing or microwave targeting. And the results include the hell that they are now raising in Minnesota while blaming their innocent victims, who are being literally terrorized and hurt and some even shot and killed. It must be stopped.

Many reports around the globe state that our USA military used a "sonic" (microwave) weapon to disable people in Venezuela, when they invaded to abduct Maduro. This is yet another batch of proof that they do indeed exist, but the problem of far more sophisticated ones being used on humanity, is a global problem that extends far beyond possible isolated military uses in various countries.
I am glad that more is now coming out about microwave weapons, but this does not even come close to covering the full scope of what has been happening since at least the 1950s. The hell we have been through with this is indescribable. Just literally indescribable.
I just want to cry for the long term victims, of microwave weapons, who have been being told that they are just imagining it or are "mentally ill." And those of us who are aware have been being threatened into silence. A few days ago was the most recent death threat I got. They threatened to give me cancer, which I believe they sure can do with a microwave weapon.

Since Renee Good was killed by Ice, Trump has massively vamped up the Ice invasions in a community that was already stricken with grief and fear and was begging for Ice to leave. This is one of the most heartless things I've ever seen. Any amount of decency would have at least backed off for a while and let things settle down. But it appears that Trump and Noem want chaos and war, possibly to justify declaring Marshal Law. What is happening in Minnesota is the result of Trump's prejudice and hate and vengeance, and it plans to spread across America. The heartlessness within Ice and its leadership is a serious danger for all of America. MANY reports state that they are lying about only going after the dangerous and criminal people, and are mostly abducting harmless immigrants, including many legal immigrants, and are also terrorizing and hurting many American citizens in that process.
FYI; Christi Noem has made public statements at a podium that has "One of ours - all of yours" written on it. This is a slogan about capital punishment. In other words, if one person hurts one of her Ice thugs, she will have them hurt masses of innocent people in that community or that political party??? This is really sick stuff that should have absolutely no place in America.
Please PEACEFULLY stand up for freedom from Ice invasions that traumatize or hurt or kill harmless and innocent people and are cruelly tearing families apart.
People, please do not give the bullies what they want;
do not fight back with physical or verbal violence -
do not stoop to their level. Just compensate by caring
for each other more than ever before, until this hell is over.
KEEP the PEACE in AMERICA!
Trump labels every news station who tells the full truth about him, "fake news." However, those news places are actually sometimes the most honest ones, when it comes to anything associated with President Trump, because they know that Trump will slam them with a lawsuit if they say anything unprovable about him. Trump literally holds an axe aver their heads.
Meanwhile, the news places that Trump promotes and has complete control over, not only leave out important details, but also help to promote Trump's war against the democrats, against the poor people, against the harmless immigrants, against the countries that have what his greed and thirst for power wants, against anyone who disagrees with him...etc.
I have been watching them all throughout much of this year, and something else I have noticed is that the Republican run and Trump controlled news places do massive amounts of bashing "the left" or "the democrats." And the democrat run stations rarely bash "the republicans" of "the right." I find this interesting, because it shows which side has more integrity and is less apt to try to manipulate people against the other party, which is something that good professional news should never do. In all fairness, I have not watched what the democrat side did BEFORE Trump put the axe over their heads, but my gut feeling is that they were never as manipulative as the republican side.
Like I said in my previous post, I have never thought negatively toward the republican political party, but Trumps behaviors, and that of all the other republican's around and above him, are changing my mind. I am no longer neutral. I am starting to have bad feelings about the whole republican party because it nominated and has continued to support Trump's destructive and extremely dysfunctional behaviors, which are really bad for America as well as for the whole world. They seem to not know right from wrong, and to not even care about it, for the most part.
I have never thought badly of the republican political party. But I am now starting to, because of it supporting Trumps extremely destructive behaviors here in America as well as abroad. They seem like a bunch of blind or fearful puppets who swarm around Trump kissing his feet, no matter what he does wrong or how many people its hurt or slandered or killed, instead of reigning him in and helping him to do better and do right by at least the American people, including the poor and the democrats and all ethnicities and all religions.
I do understand that the mind control problem is at play here, but this does not mean that the destruction can be allowed to freely continue without anyone saying anything about it. Trump's horrific behaviors are not acceptable, because they are upsetting or hurting so many people, and are even killing and imprisoning some harmless and defenseless people.
Striking back merely gives the bullies justification for their abuse. We must UN-justify it - not strike back.
Although the Trump administration blames "the democrats" for every disagreement, its far more than just democrats who are against Trumps administration, because of his dishonest and hateful and inconsiderate behaviors. One of the latest episodes of this was Trump's extreme dishonesty about Renee Nicole Good - the woman who was killed in Minneapolis, which made a VERY difficult situation, for BOTH sides, far worse.
Although many of us are upset about his destructive ways, and that of those who follow his lead, we must keep the PEACE that they have been destroying. We should not accept or normalize their dysfunctional behaviors, but we can reject them and stand strong against them in ways that are PEACEFUL - in ways that do not strike back physically or with profanity and demeaning words - we can refrain from stooping to their level, and do our best to remain in our HEARTS, no matter what they do. And we can do our best to be here for each other through these dark times - we can do all that we can to hug and help the people who are being hurt by Trumps hateful war against the democrats, the poor people and harmless immigrant people...etc. We can spread LOVE instead of returning the hate. We can compensate for the damage they have done and KINDLY demand to be treated better.
