Enjoy paying your taxes this year, knowing it’s going to a good cause!

 Meanwhile, in Minnesota, where it is also very cold:

The people of Minnesota will have to adapt again. Population density is a tactical disadvantage for occupiers—that’s why cities are always hubs of resistance in any military occupation. If DHS is changing doctrine to concentrate on more diffuse population zones, resistance will be more challenging. It simply takes longer to assemble observers when there are fewer residents per square mile.

The resistance will need to devise its own doctrine for exurban operations and it will need to adapt to DHS’s attempt to carry out operations with less flamboyance. It will need to figure out how to resist an enemy that resorts to trickery, as DHS agents did last week when two women posed as distressed motorists to lure a man out of his home so that he could be ambushed and abducted when he came to help them.

In the future, citizens may have to counter the government’s facial-recognition technology. This might mean masks or other countermeasures. I invite you to consider what it signals when law-abiding citizens have to obscure their identities for fear of retribution from the state.

This is not an arrangement between a democratic government and its citizens. It is what happens in war.

...

The Twin Cities have tens of thousands of residents who cannot leave their homes for fear of being abducted by DHS. These people cannot go to work. They cannot shop for groceries. They cannot go to doctors’ appointments. Many of them cannot send their children to school.

Various civic groups have self-organized to help them. Food banks deliver groceries. People donate money to pay rent. Doctors finish their shifts and then make house calls. The governor told us about a group of doulas who make secret home visits to deliver babies to mothers who cannot go to a hospital, because DHS agents view health care facilities as abduction traps.

Think about that: You now live in a country where volunteers deliver babies at home, in secret, off the books, because mothers fear that if they go to the hospital, they will be abducted by masked, armed agents of the state while giving birth.

This is not a hypothetical. It is your lived reality. It is America.

...

I cannot emphasize enough how hostile the relations between the federal government and the citizenry are at this moment in Minnesota.

Many of the people abducted by the government are taken without cause. When the government runs out of excuses to hold them, or is forced to release them by the courts, they send them out the front door of the Whipple Building, often in the dead of night. Alone. No cell phone. No jacket. In the freezing cold and snow.

A civic group called Haven Watch now stands guard at Whipple around the clock so that former prisoners of the regime do not freeze to death after release. While we were at Whipple talking to observers, a mother and two small children emerged from the building. They had nothing with them other than the clothes on their backs. It was about 15 degrees, the day after an unexpected snow. The three small humans haltingly made their way across the ice and slush in the road. Someone from Haven Watch met them and ushered them into a warm car.

I ask you: What do you think would have happened to this woman and her children had the United States government sent them into the cold and snow, far from taxis or transport, with no way of contacting anyone for help?

What do you think would have become of these three vulnerable human beings at the hands of our government had the people of Minnesota not stepped in to care for them?

This is Anne Frank territory; the stuff of the Stasi and East Germany, or Kosovo and Sarajevo. And the only way it ends is with victory for the regime or a reckoning for all those who waged this war against America.

However alarmed you are, it’s not enough.

But don’t call it Nazi Germany, ‘cause that would disturb Jake Tapper’s delicate sensibilities.
