Minnesota is having a moment, and not for the first time. If you aren’t aware, ICE and CBP are conducting operations there in an effort to ostensibly enforce federal immigration law. This effort also seems at least somewhat tied to the “learing” fraud recently uncovered, which appears to be one of many widespread frauds in that and other states. I won’t bother posting any links regarding any of this since my guess is any reader here is already aware, but if you’re not, any search engine will provide the basic context with ease.

Before I continue, I know this is not a political blog and I know none of this is exactly black and white, but I do see a link to these events and what I write here so that’s the impetus for this post.

Nearly three weeks ago, a woman I can only think to describe as retarded, decided it was her moral duty to impede federal agents during their raids. She purposely parked her vehicle in their way and then verbally antagonized them as they told her to exit the vehicle. That alone qualifies as retarded. But then when her lesbian “wife” told her to drive as she filmed the event, the woman slammed on the gas while a federal agent was standing in front of her car. The body cam makes it clear that she was looking at the agent, and, with a smile on her face, she accelerates into him. The agent promptly shoots and kills her.

Bear in mind, she is a mother of 3, although she had lost custody of 2 of them (if reports are true) due to her lesbian pretend wife being abusive. The one child she did have custody of was enrolled in a school that prioritizes teaching your children how to be social justice warriors, since as we all know that is what young children need to learn in school.

I can’t begin to imagine the level of brain rot that would be required to inspire this woman to live life in the way she was. I certainly don’t relish her death, but I cannot see what “good” she was bringing to this world and I doubt it is any worse off due to her absence. And that is what caught my attention about the story since her name was Renee Nicole Good. I’m a little out of my element here, but I’ll play the etymology game.

Renee means “born again”. Nicole means “victory of the people”. And Good means good, obviously. Renee would no doubt say she was well named since that combined meaning would fit with what she clearly saw as her mission. But I see no Good from her actions. Not that I believe the ICE routine is above reproach by any means, but personally I think the ICE efforts, if anything, are lacking in any real bite or effectiveness since deportations are by no means “mass” as yet and even below levels posted by democrat administrations Obama and Biden. And yet we have this uproar by far left ideologues and agitators who are convinced they are out here protecting the modern-day Anne Franks from the bloodthirsty Nazis.

[as an aside: what will come of all of this? TACO. He really does always chicken out and in the end, all this will do is galvanize the left. The rest of us get hollow rhetoric, broken promises, and the prospect of an even more militant and well-organized Left when they invariably rise to power once again. That will be fun.]

Over the weekend there was another high profile ICE killing of a man named Alex Pretti. This shooting seems even more justified than the Good shooting since Alex pulled and discharged a firearm during an altercation with federal agents. He is, like Good, now painted as a martyr and also, like Good, has a name that would seem to vindicate his portrayal. Alex means “defender of men” and he was there, ostensibly, to defend immigrants from detention. Pretti means pretty, but also clever. Either way, it’s a positive depiction of what to me, looking at his actions from the outside, seems beyond foolish and well into potentially evil, just like Renee Good.

And so we have what to me is an obvious inversion of the truth and it brings to mind two scriptures:

Many laud Good and Pretti as the opposite of what they are. Who is the author of this inversion? Over the weekend I found a clue, perhaps:

He also had a post about the federal agent who had a finger bitten off over the weekend:

Well yes, actually, it strikes me as the same energy. Uncover our fraud and arrest our criminals and we’ll pay you back by burning the city while biting off your fingers.

I suppose we have Saruman and Gollum as some potential instigators in Minneapolis and here’s where I can start to tie these events to my own writings.

I once wrote about Saruman aka Baggu Kru on this blog. In-universe (of my writings, at least), he was the party responsible for making Bill’s life hell and I was at one point negotiating with him directly. There was a trade in which Saruman could obtain forgiveness/redemption if he did certain things. The first was to obviously stop screwing with Bill. But then he was also to recover certain 3rd Age figures such as Wormtongue (who had a chance to reclaim his true name of Goldentongue) and help lead a motley crew of dissidents back to Valinor. He was also supposed to find a “hope chest” that was filled with some pretty important items and deliver them directly to Bill. To my knowledge, that has never happened, unless Bill has been holding out on all of us. But then again, to my knowledge, Saruman claimed he could not find it and the last I heard, he was given some general ideas on the direction to look and told to trust in Eru in finding it. Basically “good luck, it’s your problem, not ours”.

Assuming I really was treating with Saruman and assuming he ever had any intention of repenting, I guess you could say he is maybe still out there trying to make good on the agreement. Or he may have said “nah, never mind”. Or maybe he was tricking me the whole time. Or maybe I was tricking myself. There are plenty of possibilities. But what stands out to me with regards to Good and Pretti is that back when I was writing, there was at one point a warning: “Minnesota is falling”. For the life of me I cannot find that snippet in what I wrote so I can’t include the full context, but I am almost certain it was in that period when I was working on Saruman, so there we have another link with him and Minnesota, the other being that Bill was in Minnesota (assuming there is any truth to him messing with Bill).

That state seems to be ground zero for whatever is afoot at the moment.

But wait, there’s more!

Back in July 2021 I had a unique writing experience that came through initially like a rap with a cadence and rhythm to it. I tried keeping up but eventually it morphed more into just normal writing. The first part is lyrical and therefore very open to interpretation much like all song lyrics are, but the latter third or so is pretty straight forward english and to me, pretty hopeful stuff. The speaker takes time to tee off on the OG Minnesota provocateur Saint George Floyd himself:

If you want to read that July writing, you can do so at this link. At the very least, you might like that bit of writing at the end of page 2 to the end, starting from the question posed. Essentially the good guys are saying to the bad guys: “hey we actually don’t have to have some big fight at the end of the world, and we’re actually fine with you guys coming into God’s kingdom as the laborers who joined in the last hour but still get paid the same.”

I like that idea. I find it a Pretti Good message.
