The mass deportations will reorient domestic law enforcement while the slow motion destruction of NATO and the emboldening of Russia plays out internationally. This is all being openly planned.

BREAKING: FBI notifies Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension that it won’t provide access to evidence it’s collected on the killing of Alex Pretti by armed and masked federal agents.
