As cynical as you may think you are, you likely have a long way to go before gaining a true understanding of this game of politics.
We are being played, folks.
It’s beyond time that we woke up and got serious.
Please understand that I am not on anyone’s “team”, nor do I care about past fights that Patriots may have had with each other. I am looking to the future, and to victory against the RINOs and the Democrats.
Whatever grassroots group you may be in, whichever County Republican Party you belong to, you must understand that somewhere deep in there is a mole, a spy or a sabatour. Or all of them in one person.
Have you noticed that the top seats of power in our state always seem to be occupied by the Establishment types? Of course you have; that’s what most of us are always complaining about! There appears to be a glass ceiling that is fortified to keep us riffraff as far away from the Control Room as possible. And in the event that one of sneaks through, somehow, then that elected officials inexplicably does a 180 an completely turns of the supporters that actually got them into office. Monae Johnson is the most recent glaring example of this phenomenon. Theories abound how this came about, but no true Patriot disagrees that it indeed did happen. Current (hopefully 1 termer) SOS Monae has not been allowed to make the kind of decisions necessary to ensure true Election Integrity in SD, and has in fact become the anti-Election Integrity arch villain in our story.
How did she pull this off? By all accounts Monae lacks the intelligence to bamboozle the many Grassroots volunteers that spent their time, money and emotional energy to help her get elected. So the obvious conclusion is that someone helped turn her, behind the scenes.
CHAOS
As I wrote in my last post, getting the SD Grassroots moving in the same direction sometimes feels like herding stingrays. Since then, we have seen this analogy play out in High Definition, in several areas where the Grassroots congregate. In Sioux Falls, there is a prominent group that formed roughly 4 years ago by the name of Patriot Ripple Effect (PRE). I was a member of this group for the past 2 years until about 6 weeks ago, when I decided to very publicly quit the group. My reason for doing this was not “to be divisive”, but to shed light on the fact that I had identified 2 sitting board members who were sneaking around doing campaign work for Toby Doeden. Toby has never been a member of PRE, nor helped them in any tangible way. Jon Hansen has been a longtime member and friend of the group, who has worked along side of many of us in different arenas of battle, as have several other Patriot legislators. I saw the actions of these 2 individuals as being a betrayal of a friend, devious, and suspicious for several reasons. A significant reason being the identity of one of these people, which I will address in a minute.
Since my departure, there have been much intrigue, discussion, and strategizing behind the scenes, as you could imagine. All of this culminated in an epic battle for the heart and soul of this Patriot group which took place this past Saturday night. I will leave it to others to write that story, which I sincerely hope happens one day. For now, it will have to suffice to say that the Good Guys won, and the cancer was removed. By all accounts the patient will survive the surgery!
This victory is great news. Because PRE is filled with good and honest people who merely want what 95% of us in the Grassroots wants: A legitimate say in the governance of our state and local governments. That’s it. We don’t want power or prestige. Just accountablity.
A similar epic battle is being prepared to be fought at this very minute, on this very day, in the Minnehaha County Republican Party group. Tonite, two seperate groups will meet to decide of the current chair will be forced to resign. I won’t attempt to elucidate the nature of this grand conflict here now, but I do know that the nexus of these issues is that the Establishment power structure is not only thrilled about it, they are likely helping to orchestrate it.
Of course they are much too clever to allow us to ever see the puppet strings, but they are there nonetheless.
OPERATORS
What they past few months have showed me, and a few other Patriot friends that I have been blessed to know, is that our movement is designed to fail. I’m not saying it WILL fail, just that it is actively being sabotoged by a select few individuals that I have termed “Operators”. Operators share some common traits that become easy to spot, once you know what to look for:
- High IQ. The arrogance of the intellectually gifted drives them to develop a hatred for those they deem to be beneath them.
- Have the ability of a “Mind Vampire” to manipulate the thoughts and emotions of others. Most nice Christians who are forthright in their desire to be a good citizens who play by the rules are incapable of acknowledging that the person they are dealing with is lying to them. I have seen this played out many times in the retail mattress business over the past 30 years. Everyone wants to beleive in the “Mattress Sale” scam.
- ALOOF – The Operator gets involved enogh in a group to gain access to the levers of power, ususally taking overall control as Chair, but always close to the money. They themselves will rarely spend time or emotional energy on pursuits that don’t serve their own Narcissistic needs.
- NO DISCERNIBLE BELIEF SYSTEM- The Operator will check a few boxes of conservativism, to keep up appearances or simply because they do actually care about a few of these issues. But what truly drives their Operating System are the rewards that come from the ability to manuever people into and out of postion, like pieces on a chessboard. Money and access to power are also motivators.
- SOWING DISSENTION- Wherever they go, unity will not be present. There will be no desire displayed by them to ever pursue unity. Anyone who gets in their way will be labelled a “drama queen”, and blamed for any and all issues that exist in the group.
- CONFUSION – A key character trait of the Operator is their willingness to express differing views to different people. In normal parlance, we call this “LYING”. If you fellowship with many common contacts of the Operator, you will hear stories of this happening, but you will have a difficult time finding anything that is written, because they always cover their tracks.
- ACOLYTES- The Operator will find ways to cultivate loyalty in a few key people in every group. This will make it very difficult to fully achieve Unity. These acolytes would rather see the group destroyed than to bear witness to the removal of their leader. Thinking they are “too valauble to lose” is a sure sign.
The good news is that these people are few in the Grassroots. The bad news is that they are entrenched, dedicated and most likely being supported by Establishment actors at some level. They may or may not even be aware of this, but it only makes sense that this is the case.
ROUNDUP
What has become painfully clear to me is that the ultimate purpose of the Operator is to sprinkle Roundup onto the Grassroots, in order to weaken us and keep us distanced from the power positions in our government. If I came at nightime and sprayed some grass killer around your lawn, you wouldn’t see any evidence until the next day or so when the grass started dying. You would wonder what happened, but you would have no evidence that someone did it on purpose.
Admittedly, the efforts to surpress the Patriot Movement has suffered some major defeats in the past couple years, but the Establishment is not going to sit back and just take it. They are fighting back, and this is one of the ways they do it.
I have made very clear my opinion that the heavily advertised astro-turfed campaign of Toby Doeden is being supported and helped along by hidden actors in the Establishment, most likely without Toby’s awareness whatsoever. I have no hard evidence to present to you at this stage of the game, but I feel it in my bones, and I suspect many of you do also.
In totally related news, the two Operators at the core of the near implosion of PRE and the Battle Royale that is taking place in the MCGOP have both been spearheading a stealth campaign for Toby Doeden these past 2 months.
My frends, I am not here to spread intrigue, or further add to the splitting of the Grassroots. On the contrary.
In the interest of Unity, I will hereby name these two individuals. If anyone feels that I am off base, you are welcome to contact me directly or simply leave a Comment.
The man who nearly destroyed PRE is named Dave Roetman.
The man who is trying to take complete control of the MCGOP is Korry Petterson.
Peace out Patriots!
