The Democrat Machine™ (IS Organized Crime)

I recently read a piece by @el gato malo on Substack, and he hit on something I've been looking at for quite some time. But I think that a little history is required before it all comes together.

I just recently covered The American Left, and how they're, more or less, useful idiots -- cannon fodder really. Because they believe they're fighting for a "just cause," when in reality they're just stupid enough to fight for free, or peanuts if they're paid agitators.

At the heart of everything we're witnessing in Minnesota is organized crime.

Organized crime was once simple. Mob thugs beating people up and damaging property, then demanding "protection money" to keep their own people from terrorizing your shop.

But eventually law enforcement put a stop to that. So, as any good criminal would do, they figured out the next best way to keep their racket going -- they infiltrated government.

Politics allowed a path to make their thuggery legal. You don't have to attack people and damage property, you just pass laws that guarantee that their money comes to you.

Unions were used to raise money. Everyone remembers Jimmy Hoffa, and they immediately think “Mob boss” what they don’t usually think is “Former leader of The Teamsters Union.” Unions were a way to have a steady income stream to fund political ambitions. Keep in mind, union states require that workers belong to unions (depending on their line of work).

From there they could work on gaining the political majorities needed to change laws -- to benefit their racket.

That’s why you can’t pump your own gas in New Jersey. The gas station attendant is a paid employee and a union member, so he pays union dues, which are a graft -- and those union dues go directly to fund political campaigns. Think about that for a minute. It's illegal to pump your own gas -- so that you pay a union member to do it. There is no other reason, it's really that simple. And -- it's 100% legal, because organized criminals made sure that laws were passed supporting their racket.

For decades, that's how things worked. Politicians (usually Democrats) although Republicans are part of the graft as well, used these tactics to gain power. Once they gained power, they passed additional laws and regulations that would secure that power for years to come.

At some point though, that was no longer enough. There needed to be a new, more egregious way of separating people from their money... TAXES.

Yes that's right, taxes. Not some super secret scheme, not building a better widget, just taxes. Once the money is in the hands of the government, it can be laundered in endless ways.

What we're seeing now is that many federal agencies are literally organized crime outfits. They operate (as a necessity) in the dark.

I also have some experience in this area. If you don’t mind, I can layout some of what I’ve seen.

Let’s begin with an analogy.

A government engineered car, with no engine or electric motor(s) is supposed to be driven from New York to California.

However, before anything can be done, the law states that must be inspected. Consultants are hired / contracted. They conclude that the car needs new brake pads, it needs a transmission service, new air filter, fuel filter... By the time that's completed it needs new wiper blades, it has been years now (the wipers rotted during that time). In the end nearly the entire vehicle has been reworked. Why? Because everyone was getting paid.

But the car is never driven, in fact it never even ran.

That's a normal successful government program. Didn't produce anything, but everyone was getting paid.

You know another word for that? Fraud.

You might ask, why didn’t anyone say anything about the fact that there was no engine? Why didn’t an outside group ever look into the project and follow up on the progress?

It’s simple, everyone is getting paid. Looking under the hood is not going to happen, because the project is going to be part of a 4,000+ page bill, that covers literally everything in the federal, or state government’s budget for a period of months or years.

Anyone who looks under the hood and sees that there’s no engine -- has nobody to turn to -- because everyone is getting paid. IGs don’t look into stuff like this until years after the fraud operation has already been run.

How does this kind of scenario come about?

First you propose a piece of legislation, that’s supposed to produce something. It can be anything, but it’s usually a large infrastructure project, high-speed rail, the broadband deal, bridges, EV charging stations, things of that nature.

Then behind the scenes, you have politicians determine which engineering/consulting groups they want to work with. The politicians write into the law nonsense requirements for those consulting contracts, things that are generally unassociated with the work to be performed (that way even through there’s an “open bid” process, they will get the “right” consultants contracted).

The legislation also has an exhaustive list of nonsense steps, requiring years worth of consulting work to be completed before anything ever happens in the physical world.

The consulting groups are working behind the scenes with the politicians; part of their unspoken agreement is to have the consulting groups and their employees donate to the political campaigns of the politicians who awarded them the contracts. This can be done various different ways.

All of this is by design, because as long as those consultants can stay on the job, they can keep laundering tax-payer money into the pockets of the politicians who awarded them the contracts. Everyone keeps getting paid. And most importantly ? nothing is being built.

It’s organized crime. And yes, I’ve witnessed it first hand ? on more than one occasion.

Minnesota a den of thieves.

Minnesota is a different case, because it involved almost all aspects of criminal manipulation.

Politicians, law enforcement, prosecutors, judges, even local media -- the list goes on. Once you've captured enough of, what would normally be whistleblower territory, you can pretty much do as you like. Everyone is getting paid. There's literally nobody to run to, because they're all on the take.

Only in Minnesota there was a particular element that made it all the more lucrative. The imported Somalis.

They had two main advantages:

1. They were considered "refugees" so people would not question them, as they represent the ultimate minority. If you point anything out you're a "racist."

2. People from Somalia are 100% steeped in third world economics -- of which, there is no concept of fraud.

Using the Somalis to run their racket, they were ultimately shielded by the potential of an insider turning against them, as Somalis see what they are doing as completely normal. This is just how things are done in third world.

However, Minnesota is / was so egregious that it could no longer be ignored. Billions of dollars funneled through illegitimate daycares, healthcare centers, and autism centers -- sometimes dozens registered -- at the same address, in a small building? And yet, nobody noticed this?

No, they already knew about it and didn't do anything.

This is not an ideological fight this is literally criminals vs the cops.

This is also not a civil war.

What we're seeing in Minnesota right now is the organized criminal syndicate fighting back -- not people who care about immigrants. These are paid agitators -- paid for by the people who imported the Somalis.

I want to make that point very clear. There are only a small number of people who are actually involved in this -- as a percentage of the population. This is not an "uprising" it's a criminal cartel fighting to the end.

This won't spread nationwide, because it's not a nationwide problem. It's a problem in the places where the criminal activity became the primary economic driver. Which also happen to be Democrat-controlled cities.

Don't misunderstand, Republicans would be doing this too -- if they could get away with it -- but they can't, because their voters actually pay attention to what's going on, and are generally mistrusting of government. As a result, the probability of these kinds of operations existing (to this scale) in a Republican controlled area are slim.

What we're seeing is the culmination of decades of corruption, starting with unions, and ending up with blatant fraud involving taxpayer money. Only this time it's on a scale that rivals the GDP of some small countries!

We’re also seeing insurgent tactics used, as those ingrained within the fraud infrastructure seek to duplicate a Blackhawk Down-type situation -- in Minnesota.

As a former Special Forces Warrant Officer with multiple rotations running counterinsurgency ops?both hunting insurgents and trying to separate them from sympathetic populations?I’ve seen organized resistance up close. From Anbar to Helmand, the pattern is familiar: spotters, cutouts, dead drops (or modern equivalents), disciplined comms, role specialization, and a willingness to absorb casualties while bleeding the stronger force slowly.

What’s unfolding in Minneapolis right now isn’t “protest.” It’s low-level insurgency infrastructure, built by people who’ve clearly studied the playbook.

Signal groups at 1,000-member cap per zone. Dedicated roles: mobile chasers, plate checkers logging vehicle data into shared databases, 24/7 dispatch nodes vectoring assets, SALUTE-style reporting (Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time, Equipment) on suspected federal vehicles. Daily chat rotations and timed deletions to frustrate forensic recovery. Vetting processes for new joiners. Mutual aid from sympathetic locals (teachers providing cover, possible PD tip-offs on license plate lookups). Home-base coordination points. Rapid escalation from observation to physical obstruction?or worse.

This isn’t spontaneous outrage. This is C2 (command and control) with redundancy, OPSEC hygiene, and task organization that would make a SF team sergeant nod in recognition. Replace “ICE agents” with “occupying coalition forces” and the structure maps almost 1:1 to early-stage urban cells we hunted in the mid-2000s.

The most sobering part? It’s domestic. Funded, trained (somewhere), and directed by people who live in the same country they’re trying to paralyze law enforcement in. When your own citizens build and operate this level of parallel intelligence and rapid-response network against federal officers?complete with doxxing, vehicle pursuits, and harassment that’s already turned lethal?you’re no longer dealing with civil disobedience. You’re facing a distributed resistance that’s learned the lessons of successful insurgencies: stay below the kinetic threshold most of the time, force over-reaction when possible, maintain popular support through narrative, and never present a single center of gravity.

I spent years training partner forces to dismantle exactly this kind of apparatus. Now pieces of it are standing up in American cities, enabled by elements of local government and civil society. That should keep every thinking American awake at night.

Not because I want escalation. But because history shows these things don’t de-escalate on their own once the infrastructure exists and the cadre believe they’re winning the information war.

We either recognize what we’re actually looking at?or we pretend it’s still just “activism” until the structures harden and spread.

Your call, America. But from where I sit, this isn’t January 2026 politics anymore.
It’s phase one of something we’ve spent decades trying to keep off our own soil.

Rounding up the people funding the riots in Minnesota is going to require rounding up vast numbers of public officials.

Will that really happen?
