The Guardian has reported that more than 300 anti-ICE protests were planned for the last weekend. Organizers called it “ICE Out of Everywhere.” This is in response to the shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minneapolis among others in different parts of the country.
Dr. J. Michael Waller, senior analyst for strategy at the Center for Security Policy, spoke with Jody Hice on Washington Watch last week saying these are not random organic protests. Most are likely orchestrated by people outside of Minnesota and have a common link. 
“If you look at different movements like this around the world over the past few decades, you saw them in Northern Ireland in support of the IRA (Provisional Irish Republican Army). You saw them in El Salvador in support of the Communist guerrillas,” says Waller. “You saw them in Iraq when U.S. forces went in, and you had the Shiite crowds. They were all orchestrated by the Iranian regime against us.”
He points to a larger force behind these protests which orchestrates things in a technical way that one would expect in a foreign, unconventional warfare operation.
One young man's story
Waller shares how he became involved in this type of protesting when he was 15. During high school, his social studies teacher basically recruited him because he was interested in fishing and the environment.
“I was not a leftist, but those are my interests. So, he got me involved in the protest movement against a nuclear power plant that was under construction in our state, saying that this is going to radiate the earth and it's going to destroy the fishing beds with the water coming out of the cooling systems and so forth,” states Waller.
That sincere concern for the environment, he says, got him involved. As a kid, he thought that it was cool that adults were taking an interest in him, sending him to help in leadership, and that he could express his concerns in an “edgy kind of way.” While his concerns were real, he now admits that they were naïve.
“It wasn't until I was put through — what I later learned was a struggle session — that these were actual Communist organizers, professionals who'd come in from California to New England specifically to train dupes and useful idiots like me to become militant agitators,” says Waller “So, I broke with them.”
Waller posted on X about his experience, relating it to what is currently happening.
“It was all engineered anger. PSYOP against the public and against ourselves,” wrote Waller. “Minneapolis insurgency is nothing new. It has been evolving for decades, refined to an art form.”
Critics ask if it’s fair to say that many people are simply manipulated into these protests and used for political purposes. He responds that it is never the organizers who get bagged, shot, or arrested.
Instead, the actual protestors are often a combination of kind, sincere people who are tricked or those with a deep-set anger against something in their personal life. Furthermore, those who have psychological struggles are easier to manipulate.
It’s no accident that these kinds of people man the protests’ front lines.
“You put them out there as your cutting edge. They're the ones who end up doing really stupid things, attacking cops, attacking soldiers and other federal agents, and they're the ones who end up getting shot to make the headlines,” explains Waller. “But it's arranged that way. This is part of the political technology to arrange for the creation of martyrs for the cause.”
There are apparent links to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), that it is allegedly funding these protestors. Fox News reported late last week that several organizations who are a part of mobilizing the Minneapolis anti-ICE agitators are financially backed by Neville Roy Singham. He is an American multi-millionaire who is a known advocate of the CCP and linked to multiple dark money organizations tasked with spreading “far-left, CCP-influenced extremism in the U.S. and across the globe,” Waller said.
The business of chaos
As for the motives of these types of funders, Waller says that they want all of this to happen.
“They want to break apart society; they want to set our society against itself so that we don't even identify as Americans with each other anymore. They want to fuel all of this,” says Waller.
This should have been seen coming, Waller says. An example he gives is the 1960s anti-war protestors.
“They had a real cause. There was a draft. It was an unjust draft. It was a war that President (Lyndon) Johnson was kind of covering up and lying about, and then Nixon inherits it, but it was against the communists. What did the communists do?” asks Waller. “They came, and they turned the anti-war agitators into pro-communist organizers in Cuba and then indoctrinated for over 50 years, generations of these activists.”
