Minneapolis Mess

 

It seems to me the current mess in Minneapolis is just one more drop in the bucket that the police are the enemy of the people in that city. Apparently, they shoot you if you call 911, and they will suffocate you if you get arrested. And now, they cannot stop rioting.

So basically, they are so incompetent that they kill you if you are a law-abiding citizen who encounters them, but the let you run rampant if you are a looter. They sure are not going to protect your business.

We are a far, far way away from when the police where people to be trusted, especially in Minneapolis.

    Second, medical reports have ruled out that asphyxiation was the cause of death.

    I would think the prosecutors would be very worried about what that report said. I couldn’t believe it when I saw it.

    Yeah, when I saw that, my perspective changed completely on this.

    Police are pretty decent in my town.   However, nothing much happens here,   so I am sure the Police job here is much less stressful than most places.   Other than the parking lot at Meijer, the town is pretty safe.

    I am pretty sure I saw @jameslileks in a video stream with arm-fulls of booze during the Minneapolis riots. Anybody else see that?

    You’re looking at an old video.  That was from the riot that occurred after the Minneapolis cop from Somalia shot the lady from Australia.  (Needless to say, sarcasm intended.)

    It’s gonna be a bumpy ride, folks. I didn’t see this coming:

    By now Ben [Crump] is discovering that everything around El Nuevo Rodeo, the Mexican Cantina and Dance Club where George and Derek worked, is sketchy. Likely Ben and Daryl Parks (Parks & Crump Esq.) have realized it’s better to focus their financial strategy toward reparations from the city of Minneapolis because this incident hits on something even Crump doesn’t want to touch.

    El Nuevo Rodeo (hereafter ENR) is a front business. Nothing is as it seems.

    The background ownership of ENR takes you to a shady network of LLC’s and the name Omar Investments Inc. (est. 1996).  Dig a little deeper and something else becomes evident… The ownership might connect to one or more U.S. three letter agencies.

    The ownership network has previous interactions with FBI operations in/around Minneapolis. This is not surprising because Minneapolis Minnesota has more national security operations ongoing than any other community in the country. Various Somali groups are being watched, and anyone can do a google search to see when those security operations surface in the media.

    Omar Investments Inc. owns El Nuevo Rodeo Cantina and night club since 1996.  The principle of Omar Investments Inc. is Muna Sabri. In 2001 a close relative, Basim Sabri, was captured by the FBI in a sting operation.

    …”In 2001, FBI agents recorded Sabri giving Herron $5,000, cash intended to curry the lawmaker’s support for his development. Sabri was later convicted on three bribery counts and fined $75,000.” (link)….

    FBI intercept in 2001, there’s the capture.  That’s the asset creation point for U.S. security to find a way to embed within Minneapolis, and assist the Sabri’s along the way.

    The presented “former club owner”, Maya Santamaria, seen on television, appears to be a purposeful ‘front’ (a face useful in deflecting attention from the primary owner and operations). With that in mind, the scale of false information in/around the visible event, horrible as it was/is, creates layers and layers of purposeful misinformation and a need to control what the public sees in the media.

    Seriously weird. But I’ve seen weird stuff on CTH pan out before.

    Recently – When the Wuhan Virus hits the night club needs to shut down. By extension this shuts down any illicit activity maintained by the legit operation.  Any activity within a laundering operation would have to be paused.  It would look silly, very suspicious, if the ENR club bookkeeper was making bank deposits while the business is closed.

    . . .this also means George Floyd was out of work. . . .

    The police were called because George Floyd was passing counterfeit $20 bills.

    . . . Floyd is presented as being ok with the arrest stuff; but really, really, didn’t want to get in Derek’s car.

    17-years as a “security officer” for El Nuevo Rodeo.  Was Chauvin the enforcer?

    Governor Walz has ZERO government executive ability, in my opinion. Mayor Frey has extremely misplaced priorities. I’ve had that opinion reinforced by someone knowledgeable on Twitter. Both of these guys are fundamentally terrible on everything, not just political views.

    Not to worry. The case is in the hands of AG Hakim Muhammed. Who is not licensed to practice law in Minnesota, FWIW.

    He somehow got that fixed.

    The stupid governor put him on as prosecutor which is ridiculous because he has so many conflicts. I don’t understand why this isn’t obviously going to cause problems.

    Maybe, but I searched the MN Bar website and couldn’t find him.

    That’s not a bug, that’s a feature.

    But wait, there’s more. The CTH article just before the one I just linked describes the actions of a high ranking member of the fifth column in DC:

    It is difficult to believe that Senator Marco Rubio could possibly be chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee with statements like this.  Difficult, that is, until you recognize the chair of the SSCI is a political appointment intended to shape public perception regardless of reality.   Thus Rubio was the ideal candidate to fill the shoes of Richard Burr.

    Nothing substantively within this statement is accurate.  The violence, looting, robberies, physical attacks, murders, beatings and arson all stem from conduct of activists groups on the far-left within Antifa and radical elements of Black Lives Matter.  However, Rubio cannot admit the truth because it is adverse to his political interests.

    Senator Rubio, denies the obvious, obfuscates known and demonstrable facts and reality, and pushes a false and fictitious narrative that aligns with national media.  Rubio joins with national democrats to blame China, Russia, Venezuela and some mysterious group of domestic white nationalists that no-one has seen.  WATCH:

    .

    Perhaps Senator Rubio would like to explain which intelligence briefing he has seen that identifies “far right” activists within his expressed narrative. Pure nonsense.

    The most dangerous force in any battle is not the enemy you face, but rather the ally beside you who refuses to admit the enemy exists. The denying ally has the ability reduce your force strength before the battle begins.  That is exactly Rubio’s motive in 2020.

    I am pretty sure this got resolved but I don’t remember any of it.

    I would really like a lawyer to explain to me why this isn’t wide open to an appeal among probably other things.

    This may be a stupid question, but is there solid evidence that Antifa has organized these riots?

    So what happens if those cops are exonerated? First of all, there is nothing to suggest anything was done because of race. Second, medical reports have ruled out that asphyxiation was the cause of death. Third cops were following standard procedures for restraining a perpetrator. Fourth, two of the cops were Asian minorities.

    The only unknown right now is why were they going to such an extreme to restrain him? If there is a legitimate answer to that question, then these cops are innocent completely. Unless they get railroaded, which is highly possible, I suspect they will get off.

    So in light of the fact that Dr. Baden has examined the body of George Floyde and determined he died from asphyxiation, I retract what I said.  The cops were culpable for his death.  I don’t know if it’s was based on race, but certainly their restraint and refusal to listen to his pleas led to his death.
