To quote the post: "I've got a theory I'm working on. Hear me out.
This whole fiasco with ICE doing operations in Minnesota themselves and bypassing state police was actually an operation to expose the conspiracy between Minnesota government officials, media personalities, fraud networks, and highly organized left-wing resistance groups.
The typical idea pushed by anti-communist analysts is that leftist protesters will basically contrive situations that result in media spectacles that result in sympathetic optics for them.
How do you use this against them? Lean into it at first, and then pull the rug out from under them. Once you've built the tension up to the point where it boils over and their collusion spills out into the open, like it recently did with Signalgate, you flip the script on them.
Now you've pushed them to the point where all this collusion just spilled out into the open for everyone to see. You have all the information you need to take them down as an organization. So now it's about fixing optics.
How do you do this?
Greg Bovino's been there 30 years, eligible for a nice cushy retirement package by now.
Trump needs to save face and repair ICE/CBP's optics with some good public relations.
Trump allows Bovino to gracefully retire with a nice cushy package after 30 years of service.
Leftists strut about and consider it a win. Normal people think ICE is being held accountable for the debacle in Minnesota.
Meanwhile, Walz is now much more happy to cooperate with Trump all of a sudden now that they have them dead to rights with tons of information proving conspiracy to interfere with federal immigration enforcement operations.
This willingness to cooperate is likely based on leverage, not benevolence.
Now, Minnesota state police, supposedly, will be cooperating with ICE again, like they were supposed to be doing the entire time. This gets the heat off of ICE and pawns it off on local Minnesota police.
This means rioters no longer have ICE as the boogieman, they're on the hunt for people who are cooperating with ICE, and were accepting donuts from Minnesota state police only a day ago.
This pits rioters against the state police who were previously cooperating them.
This is actually a strategy by Trump to divide and conquer the opposition.
If Walz does not cooperate with ICE as agreed, this actually just builds an even bigger case for the conspiracy to obstruct ICE that they're already building.
Then, when they unveil RICO charges and go after the agitators as an organization, they will go after the administration directly on corruption charges. Then they will be replaced with leadership who does cooperate with ICE like they are supposed to.
If they do cooperate from here on? Maybe that might be their only chance at not ending up in the slammer.
Why is Walz cooperating now? He's scared shitless.
What do you think?"
This actually makes a lot of sense to me.
Yes, my son was on some kind of desk job as he was transitioning to retirement from the Marine Corps. Took about 8 months.
