Ground Zero Minnesota

The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump maintains a firm line in the battle for dominance over immigration policy. In Minnesota, not only the future of the United States is at stake—it also sends a signal to patriotic forces in Europe.

It has grown eerily quiet around what was once the euphorically conducted German immigration debate.

Angela Merkel’s honeymoon with the woke, multicultural unicorn world seems to fade amid knife violence, cultural overreach, and the rising presence of Islam in the country.

The increasingly speechless heirs of the ’68 generation are running out of arguments in the face of unprecedented acts of violence, even within Germany’s submissively left-leaning media.

Do they fear the violence that arises from the fusion of leftist radicalism and Islamism? Are they becoming aware that they have nothing to counter the emerging cultural vandalism and maximal intolerance of this milieu—except for withered sunflowers?

Hardline Measures

The moral outrage in Germany over the tough measures of the American immigration authority ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) in defense of American society against the targeted, politically organized invasion of illegal migrants currently captures the attention of many citizens.

Yet even tragic deaths change nothing about Washington’s determination to enforce the law. After all, illegal border crossings are exactly that: a violation of law. For European tastes, this is a crude reminder of supposedly outdated concepts such as rules and national sovereignty.

American society, with roots deeply planted in European cultural soil, seems to have activated its immune system and is fighting for its cultural survival against the tidal wave of migration from diverse regions of the world. We are witnessing a struggle for identity, sovereignty, and the rejection of the dissolution of American society by globalists like Joe Biden through illegal mass migration.

The images arriving from America could very well be a foretaste of what awaits sensitive Europeans, should their own civil societies one day rise against their political elite and demand an end to the cultural assault on their population.

The recent deadly incident in Hamburg, in which a Sudanese migrant pushed an 18-year-old Iranian woman onto the train tracks, is no mere anecdote. It exemplifies the chaos that globalism, Eurocentrism, and the culture-war activism of the political class have brought upon the native population.

AstroTurf Movements

German media coverage of ICE protests in the United States leaves a central detail unmentioned. As with the Black Lives Matter protests, these are so-called AstroTurf demonstrations: the impression of a grassroots uprising is created, while strong interests operate in the background.

The not exactly conservative portal t-online recently offered a curious insight into this world of self-righteousness and near-paralytic distortion of reality. Time and again, the reported cases highlight the hatred of Donald Trump, almost inadvertently showing how protest actions evolve into ritualized opposition against the hated president. Yet this highly structured protest is suspicious.

The rallies are orchestrated, and the escalation of conflict—even violence against ICE officers—is deliberate and professionally organized. Activist organizations like Indivisible, founded in 2016 in resistance to Donald Trump, or the 50501 Movement, regularly conduct trainings, coordinate operations, and keep these protest actions alive.

The funding of these groups remains opaque. It is fair to speculate that well-known foundations previously scrutinized by the government—such as the Soros Foundation—play a role. Their structures resemble those seen in Germany, with NGOs like Last Generation or Extinction Rebellion.

Creating Transparency

For the Washington administration, it will be crucial to leverage the protests to identify and cut off financial streams—often linked to Europe. This is a process Europeans may one day face if they decide to confront the internal enemy actively.

Meanwhile, in Europe, Ursula von der Leyen and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz defend the NGO apparatus with all their might, with billions in taxpayer money. This keeps the Net-Zero narrative alive and continues open-border policies, allowing generous social programs to nurture migrant sub-communities into ever more influential parallel worlds—worlds that scorn the secular values of European culture but may soon wield stabilizing power.

In the United States, the midterm elections in November will replace half of Congress. For the globalist political machine, the battle in Minnesota represents Ground Zero. This is nothing less than a fight for power against the president’s administration, which champions a revival of American culture, the end of the Washington swamp, and a return to free-market principles. Should Trump succeed, the extraction economy of the old elites in the U.S. would collapse. The elimination of the Somali daycare schemes—a billion-dollar fraud—would mark the opening of the final chapter of America’s independence struggle.

An interesting investigative task for German media would be to examine the origins of these Somali communities—but this would cast a shadow on the responsible figure, former President Barack Obama, the globalists’ superhero.

One thing is already clear: the opposition will escalate if necessary. Given the Trump administration’s rigor in targeting swamp financing, this struggle is no longer about policy nuances—it is about political survival.

Political Chimera

An immigration reversal in Europe remains a political chimera. Whether the Union, SPD, or their coalition partners carry out deportations of foreign criminals, it happens only sporadically for tactical campaign reasons. The overarching line of German politics remains committed to open borders, even when the majority of the population calls for sovereign border protection.

It is time to note that in most EU capitals, only political franchise operators act, executing the work of the Brussels central authority locally.

The Left gains fresh voter potential. The cultural resilience of European peoples is being broken. Divide et impera is the guiding maxim of the EU Commission under Ursula von der Leyen, maintained even to the point of collapsing civil societies.

A society that can celebrate traditions like Christmas markets only under heavy police protection and behind concrete barricades is a dead society—a society that failed to rise when there was still time.

The silenced middle of our societies will take notice when ICE-like enforcement units—likely first in regions where traces of cultural self-assertion remain, such as Greece or Italy—restore order, enforce rules, and make clear: illegal border crossings are crimes.
