Minnesota is a strange place

Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. This is Friday the 6^th day of February in the year of our Lord 2026. Although I am a little late for the party I will be talking about what is going on in Minneapolis as well as the state of Minnesota. What in the world is going on there? Does anyone care about the violence and death? And also what about the fraud?

What is happening in Minnesota?

Was a 37-year-old ICU nurse really a threat to the ICE agents in Minnesota? Do Americans who film such agents as they try to do their jobs belong on government lists? Should the presence of ICE agents in Minnesota be eliminated, since the politicians and the people apparently are violently opposed to their presence? The answers to these questions, unfortunately, almost always depend on one’s political party affiliation. Republicans back ICE in its deportation efforts while Democrats stand with Alex Pretti. Sometimes these positions require members of both parties to abandon the principles they once held dear.

The struggle this time around has often centered on the real culprit, the ruling class. Everything seems like a diversion or distraction. When you see the Minnesota politicians parading around talking about the demonization of the Somali community one might wonder if they are just trying to distract attention away from the billions in fraud from which they allegedly received hefty amounts.

Meanwhile, in the Islamic Republic of Iran…

When the administration doubles down on its hardline response by sending in more and more agents even after people have been killed, one wonders if this is in reality an effort to distract us from the coming stupid pointless war against Iran. Yes the U.S. sent another carrier battle group into the Persian Gulf as an obvious threat to attack at the moment of Trump’s or Netanyahu’s choosing. Yes, Bibi has or soon will be coming to America for the 6^th time in the Trump presidency perhaps to deliver to the president his strike options for the coming attack on Iran. A diversion for our attention is therefore a welcome side benefit thanks to the violence of the protesters in Minneapolis.

I can’t help but wonder why the president has made no effort to explain to the American people why an attack on Iran is in their best interest. He seems to go from one reason to another as one justification is erased, another takes its place. He first gave us the nuclear threat or weapons of mass destruction we have heard many times before. Then, we are told the nuclear enrichment sites were obliterated in a previous American attack. Then CIA, Mossad, and who knows how many others, allegedly launched a violent protest movement directed at regime change. When the Iranian regime put down the uprising with extreme violence that became another excuse for an attack.

An apparent delay in Minnesota

The sides are talking now about a way to avoid war but I get the impression it is simply a brief delay for some reason or another. A similar delay is going on in Minnesota as the sides are talking and Mr. Homan has agreed to withdraw 700 agents. Could the agreement be this, look Governor Waltz if you will stop inciting this violence and let us at least arrest the murderers and rapists among you then you can keep the millions you stole from the American people. I don’t know if that is true but it sounds plausible to me.

What about fraud? Let’s talk about that for a moment. The fraud conducted by the “Somali community” escorted into the country by Barack Obama and Joe Biden and grouped together in Minnesota so they could have political power and even elect their members to congress to lecture us about racism. We are expected to concentrate on the seeming insanity of the ICE protesters and ICE agents instead of the money and where it goes.

Billions in fraud

The last figures I have seen reveal that Somali welfare fraud in Minnesota is estimated at $9 billion. That is $9 billion of Medicaid and other welfare stolen from people who work and from people who need the help and shuffled off to various fraudulent enterprises run by the Somali community. That is just the amount found to have been stolen in Minnesota. It’s predicted to be even worse in California, Illinois, Maine, New York, and perhaps other Democrat states.

Who knows how many billions of dollars of your labor have been stolen? Well, Elon Musk says he knows the various forms of fraudulent payments given away by the federal government amount to $1.5 and $2 trillion per year which is about 25% of annual government spending and which coincides almost exactly with the deficit. In other words, if these figures are correct that $2 trillion the government spends over what it takes in is all fraud. Almost all this fraud goes to perpetuate various deep state programs and to line the pockets of Democrat voters and especially their politicians. That’s why they fight so hard to make us ignore it and to detract us from investigating it.

Does Alex Pretti compare favorably with Vicky Weaver?

Now, let me say a few words about the killing of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis. Mr. Pretti apparently was killed when the agents first disarmed him of his legally possessed handgun, then threw him to the ground and shot him in the back many times. The object he was waving in his hand was a cell phone and to say they thought it was a gun made no sense because he had been disarmed by them.¹ It does remind one a little of the bad old days of Democrat presidents when conservatives feared the Feds rather than supporting them.

I’m thinking specifically of the incident in which Vicki Weaver had her head blown off by an FBI sniper named Lon Horiuchi while she stood in her cabin door holding her child. Agents also killed the Weaver’s 14-year-old son by shooting him in the back. I knew Randy Weaver quite well back then as we had met at many speaking engagements and he was often at gun shows where I campaigned for office. The government today says there is no comparison with Vickie and Alex Pretti because she was unarmed. The truth is that Vickie had a .380 handgun in a holster under her dress just as Pretti had a legal gun in his possession. Once again they, the ruling elite that is, distract us from the real enemy.

Alex Pretti v. Laken Riley

I’ve seen and heard Mr. Pretti described as a beloved ICU nurse and a peaceful man. I have no argument with the beloved description since I have no evidence to dispute that but the peaceful part I definitely dispute. To me, he appeared to be a man so fanatical in his system of beliefs that he was out of control and violently so. He was a nurse, which is a profession of the most noble among all if it is practiced correctly. Who can’t tell stories of heroic nurses sitting with the dying or helping one through some of the most trying moments of life.

Well, there was another nurse whose name goes unmentioned, but not for me. I say her name and I hope her parents are not offended by that but I feel compelled to speak for her because she really was peaceful. Her name was Laken Riley and she was peacefully jogging on her Georgia college campus when she was assaulted, raped, and murdered by an illegal criminal invited into this country by Joe Biden. Why, I ask, do none of the protesters care about Laken. She goes unmentioned by Democrat politicians and their protesters because I guess she just doesn’t fit their political agenda.

Other victims of illegal aliens who commit crimes in this country

Laken’s benevolence, altruistic pursuits, many accomplishments, and hopes and dreams count for nothing because she did not meet the Democrat politician’s definition of someone they should care about. Sadly, Laken went out for a jog and she didn’t come back. The same fate has happened to literally dozens of women and girls at the hands of criminals whose cages were opened by Joe Biden. Just to name a few: Sarah Root, Rachel Morin, Jocelyn Nungaray – but there have been countless others.

Jocelyn is of particular importance to me. But I don’t say much about her because she was a 12 year of child when she was brutally murdered by five of Joe Biden’s criminal invaders. No one speaks for her. I suppose she is an embarrassment to the entire spectrum of what the ruling elite are trying to accomplish in this country and this world.

That’s probably enough about the women who have been murdered. but there is one more and very recently. In Illinois one Joe Abraham has gained attention, because he had the audacity to speak for his 20-year-old daughter Katie, killed while stopped at a traffic light by a drunk illegal named Julio Cucol-Bol. Mr. Bol fled the scene but Katie was killed instantly. At least she didn’t have to endure the torture Jocelyn did. This case reminds me of that most appealing argument that to deport criminals would be forced separation of families. Well, the Abraham, Riley, and Nungaray families among countless others were certainly separated.

Who but Republicans speaks for these?

None of these women are ever spoken of by Democrats and there have been no protests or demonstrations objecting to the government’s policy of inviting violent criminals to walk among us. I suggest that when we see and hear the violent protests about ICE we try to remember the real victims who for Democrat politicians and their supporters remain nameless but for their families the loss is never ending.

Does Minnesota represent the weaponization of migration?

In Conclusion, I want to conclude by recommending a book that was just released and which I had to get an early copy to read. Peter Schweizer’s The Invisible Coup, How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Migration as a Weapon. That book opens for you the war that has been prosecuted against us by people who hate us and intend to destroy us, and unfortunately that often includes our leaders.

Finally, folks, what in the world does this all mean? That’s a topic for another day perhaps next week, we’ll see. Remember the nameless fallen ones and pray for peace here and abroad.

At least that’s the way I see it,

Until next time folks,

This is Darrell Castle.

Editor’s Note

1 CNAV disputes the account the author repeats here, and begs leave to ask Mr. Castle where he obtained his information. Several influencers have definitely stated that Mr. Pretti was not disarmed when the ICE (or CBP) agents opened fire. Furthermore, his gun had discharged, prompting return fire. For all that we do or can know, Alex Pretti might have fired deliberately. CNAV entertains little doubt that Alex Pretti committed “suicide by Fed” to win sympathy for his cause. Mr. Castle’s own characterization of Pretti as less than peaceful contradicts the author’s own narrative – and is consistent with our narrative.
