Driving down Snelling Avenue in St. Paul yesterday, I had a flashback from days gone by. Several protesters were flashing “No blood for oil” signs at Snelling and Grand. They took me back to 2003 and Bushitler — how quaint. Perhaps the signs were recycled.
One of the protesters even sported a full face mask. I should have stopped to ask whether the mask was to scare off Covid or to conceal his or her identity, but I passed by.
Today I read that an organization named The People’s Forum is spinning up protests against the extraction of Nicolás Maduro from Venezuela to face American justice. The New York Post’s Isabel Vincent reports that TPF is funded by an “American tech millionaire and extreme leftist” named Neville Roy Singham.
Singham is based in Shanghai. What is an American tech millionaire doing in Communist China? One may infer that he is doing the work of the CCP. Vincent describes TPF as “anti-Israel” and “pro-Marxist.” I thought I recognized that masked woman! She must be one of the loons I had seen on Snelling giving it up for “Palestine” last year.
Does TPF have members of the proletariat working the streets in the Twin Cities? Vincent adds: “The People’s Forum also organized protests alongside one of is affiliate groups, ANSWER Coalition, in Texas, Georgia, Florida, California, Tennessee and many other states.”
Vincent’s story also quotes an anti-Maduro protester calling the pro-Maduro protesters “fools.” That may be generous. “They know nothing about Maduro,” he said. “I don’t know why they are here.” This is right on the mark: “They are just strange and stupid.”
