The Minneapolis and Boston Massacres

When government lies about killing its own people, it is because the government knows the truth is so repulsive, so despicable, so outrageous, that no decent human being will tolerate the degeneracy displayed. 

The Boston Massacre was known in Great Britain as the Incident on King Street. To the rulers and occupiers, it was a mere “incident.” To American patriots it was evidence of tyranny. As we approach the anniversary of the Boston Massacre, March 5, 1770, once again governments are murdering—not only in Iran but in Minnesota—their own people and claiming the people are the problem. Claiming and lying, distorting and perverting truth, is the only hope of the tyrant revealed.

The apparent murder of Alex Pretti is reported by the Minneapolis Star Tribune: 

“Multiple videos show Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old Minneapolis resident who was killed by federal agents during immigration enforcement activity in south Minneapolis apparently recording federal agents as they shove a woman, then placing his body between the woman and agents as she is pushed. Agents then shove another woman into a snowbank. An agent sprays Pretti at close range with a chemical irritant. A brief struggle follows, ending with Pretti on the ground beneath several agents. The footage does not show Pretti attempting to draw or use a firearm.” 

Mr. Pretti’s last words, heard on one video were, “Are you OK?” spoken to a woman he apparently witnessed being abusively shoved to the ground by so-called “ICE Agents.” Real “macho” men these guys are not. One suspects they left their “wife beater shirts” at home as a means of disguise. In addition to murdering, abusing women, they now, per Herr Kommandant Bovino, are taking care of children. He regales us with tales of how good they got at that when separating kids from their parents! How sweet! How touching! But they cannot change their spots. No matter what “uniform” they hide behind, what law, what hope of pardon, by their acts shall ye know them.

The lying by the leaders of the armed occupation forces began immediately. “This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement,” Border Patrol Kommandant Greg Bovino said. The only massacre was by Bovino’s Redcoats, the only dead body was that of Alex Pretti. According to Bovino, demonstrating against abusive government agents is a sign of intent to “massacre.” Such distortion of truth and language is the last refuge of scoundrels. 

Pretti was attempting to defend a woman set upon by thugs masquerading as law enforcement officers. Actions speak louder than words, and the actions of the agents were those of criminal thugs. The same criminal thugs who massacred Renee Good with multiple bullets to the head. The actions of Pretti were those of a neighbor helping a female neighbor set upon by a gang.

Some massacres occur all at once, like the Boston Massacre where the Redcoats gunfire instantly killed three people and wounded eight others, two of whom later died of their wounds. Some massacres, like those in Minneapolis, occur slowly—one person killed after another. Slow-walked massacres, though still massacres, may be easier to get the people to swallow, thinks Kommandant Bovino and his like, attempting spin and propaganda. The outpouring of resistance by the people gives the lie to his lies.

Will the people tolerate a slowly growing massacre because it does not happen all at once? Will they pay taxes to a government to buy the guns and bullets that kill their friends and neighbors in the streets of their own hometowns? Will they suffer more death and watch their towns descend into thuggery and violence at the hands of those whose duty is to uphold the law? Will they be deceived by a slowly expanding body count or will they demand an end to all killing? 

The people will not. The decency of the people will emerge like a tidal wave to crush thuggery and killing. That is an iron law of America.

A slow-moving massacre by a government of thugs is more dangerous precisely because the moral horror is muted as the bodies fall over time, one by one, rather than hundreds at one time. A slow massacre is a cancer as the invading cells metastasize until rupturing tumors grown huge kill the body into which they have penetrated. The cancer must be cut out before it spreads its deadly reach.

So too, a slowly expanding occupation spreads its poison until it has ripened into all death all the time everywhere thugs are deployed. Roaming gangs of masked thugs are a recipe for massacre. Government is formed to protect the lives of the people. A government that has mutated into a cancer killing the people forfeits its reason to exist and the people may withdraw their consent to it.

The Boston Massacre revealed the perfidy of the government of the day all at once. It has been said of bankruptcy that it begins slowly and then, as an avalanche, occurs all at once. Moral bankruptcy is the same. The Minneapolis Massacres demonstrate that moral bankruptcy may begin slowly. But continued occupation of towns by thugs guarantees the future holds many massacres all at once.

Stop the killing, now. Stop the occupation, now. We the living Americans must remember the Boston Massacre by uniting to prevent any more Minneapolis Massacres or massacres elsewhere in American towns. Such is the duty of the decent. Such is the duty of a free people.
