Far-Left Gov. Tim Walz Mobilizes National Guard as Minneapolis Spirals Into Chaos

Radical Democrat Governor Tim Walz is at it again.

Years after he sat back and watched Minneapolis burn during the 2020 BLM riots, Walz has suddenly found his “authority” to mobilize the Minnesota National Guard.

As TGP reported at the time, Walz’s delay in 2020 allowed rioters to torch the Third Precinct and cause over $500 million in damages.

Now, facing a new crisis, the Governor appears to be playing the same political games, pleading for “peace” while simultaneously attacking federal law enforcement.

On Wednesday, Walz issued a “warning order” for the National Guard following a fatal officer-involved shooting involving a federal ICE agent in South Minneapolis.

Walz explicitly described the order as a “heads-up” for the troops to begin preparations for potential deployment.

Walz is framing this preparation as a protective measure for Minnesotans against what he calls “sensationalized” federal operations. He stated, “These National Guard troops are our National Guard troops.”

On Thursday, Walz is now positioning the National Guard not just to stop rioters, but as a “heads up” against what he calls a “war” being waged by federal agencies against his state.

According to the press release:

Out of an Abundance of Caution and in Coordination with Local Officials, Governor Walz Authorizes Minnesota National Guard to be Staged and Ready to Support Local Law Enforcement If Needed

The National Guard remains ready if needed to help keep the peace, ensure public safety, and allow for peaceful demonstrations

Governor Tim Walz has authorized the Minnesota National Guard to be staged and ready to support local and state law enforcement in protecting critical infrastructure and maintaining public safety following a shooting involving federal immigration enforcement agents in south Minneapolis.

Executive Order 26-01 provides the ability for the Minnesota National Guard to protect critical infrastructure and to assist local law enforcement with additional tasks as requested. The state is providing additional law enforcement resources in a coordinated response to aid local law enforcement. The Minnesota State Patrol has mobilized 85 members of its Mobile Response Team to support law enforcement efforts in the Twin Cities.

“Minnesotans have met this moment. Thousands of people have peacefully made their voices heard. Minnesota: thank you. We saw powerful peace,” said Governor Walz. “We have every reason to believe that peace will hold. Yesterday, I directed the National Guard to be ready should they be needed. They remain ready in the event they are needed to help keep the peace, ensure public safety, and allow for peaceful demonstrations.”

Executive Order 26-01 authorizes the Adjutant General to place National Guard personnel, equipment, and facilities on state active duty to coordinate and support public safety and security services in Minnesota. The Guard will serve in a support role, focused on protecting property, safeguarding critical infrastructure, and allowing local law enforcement to remain focused on community safety and investigative responsibilities.

Executive Order 26-01 provides access to an additional tool that can include preparation and planning in support of local and state law enforcement and emergency management agencies, as well as the support of local law enforcement efforts to protect life and property, ensure public safety, and protect freedom of speech by allowing for peaceful demonstrations.

Israel claims Hezbollah disarmament ‘far from sufficient’ as Beirut says phase one complete

The Israeli Foreign Ministry said in a statement on 8 January that Hezbollah’s disarmament is “far from being achieved,” in response to Lebanon’s announcement that it has completed the first phase of disarming the resistance group.

“The goal of disarming Hezbollah in southern Lebanon remains far from being achieved,” the statement said, attaching a video showing what it says are new Hezbollah military sites in the southern town of Beit Lif. 

The ministry said Israel “acknowledges the decision of the Lebanese government to address the disarmament of Hezbollah and some of the efforts the Lebanese Armed Forces [LAF] have made in this context,” but stressed that these efforts have been “limited.”

“Hezbollah is rearming faster than it is being disarmed,” the Foreign Ministry went on to say, while alleging cooperation between Hezbollah and the Lebanese army, and calling it “regrettable.”

“Israel expects LAF efforts to disarm Hezbollah to continue south of the Litani and throughout all other parts of Lebanon, in full accordance with the ceasefire agreement,” it concluded.

The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu echoed what the Foreign Ministry said, calling Lebanon’s efforts “far from sufficient.”

The statement came after the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) announced completing the disarmament of Hezbollah south of the Litani River. 

“The army confirms that its plan to restrict weapons has entered an advanced stage, after the effective and tangible achievement of the objectives of the first phase on the ground. This phase focused on expanding the army’s operational presence, securing vital areas, and establishing operational control over territories that have come under its authority in the sector south of the Litani, with the exception of lands and sites that remain under Israeli occupation,” the LAF said. 

The statement added that “work in the sector is ongoing until the completion of the clearance of unexploded ordnance and tunnels, in addition to Requests for Action (RFAs), in order to consolidate control and prevent armed groups from rebuilding their capabilities in an irreversible manner.”

The developments coincide with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi’s visit to Lebanon. Araghchi has previously referred to the Hezbollah disarmament plan as a “doomed effort.”

A day earlier, Lebanon’s Foreign Minister Youssef Rajji claimed the Lebanese army was capable of confronting Hezbollah militarily if needed. 

Rajji is closely affiliated with the US-backed Lebanese Forces (LF) party, and regularly blames Hezbollah for Israeli airstrikes and occupation in Lebanon.

“If a democratically elected government moves to disarm an illegal armed organization, it is restoring the principles of the constitution and the Taif Accord, not waging a ‘civil war.’ In any event, the LAF is capable of confronting Hezbollah militarily, if necessary,” Rajji told the pro-Israel US think tank, Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP).

BUSTED: Ilhan Omar Caught Trying to Funnel $1M to a “Substance Abuse Clinic” Operating Out of a Restaurant Run by Three People at the Same Address — GOP TORPEDOES the Earmark

Another Minnesota money pipeline just got shut down, and this one leads straight back to Rep. Ilhan Omar.

The funding, which was tucked into a federal spending bill, was purportedly destined for a “substance abuse clinic” in Omar’s home state of Minnesota.

However, a shocking investigation led by Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) revealed that the “clinic” was anything but legitimate.

During an interview on Fox Business, Senator Ernst detailed the absolute absurdity of the proposal, describing a trail of red flags that would make any honest taxpayer’s blood boil.

“What I uncovered the other day, in one of our spending bills making its way through Congress, was a $1 million earmark from Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.

“This earmark was supposedly going to a substance abuse clinic, which actually happened to be housed in a restaurant and run by three individuals who share the same residential address, according to their IRS paperwork. Tons of red flags.

“So this is what we saw with the fraud involving the daycare centers. Now we see other earmarks coming directly from members of Congress where it seems fraud is being perpetrated as well.

“I raised the issue, and fortunately, the House has now stripped that earmark out of that spending bill. But again, this is how easy money has been flowing to bad actors in Minnesota.”

A Mysterious “Medical Concern” in Space Caused NASA to Cancel a Spacewalk—Here’s Everything We Know

A concerning development began unfolding in orbit on Wednesday, as NASA officials revealed a health incident that led to the postponement of a planned spacewalk aboard the International Space Station (ISS).

“NASA is postponing the Thursday, Jan. 8, spacewalk,” read a portion of a statement that appeared on the official ISS blog on January 7, adding that NASA officials were “monitoring a medical concern with a crew member that arose Wednesday afternoon aboard the orbital complex.”

The unnerving news from NASA arrived in the middle of a week already filled with unrest related to a tragic incident in Minneapolis, which involved the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old woman by an agent with the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

In NASA’s initial update, few details were provided about the nature of the “medical concern” that led to the postponement of the spacewalk, citing privacy issues that the agency said made it inappropriate “for NASA to share more details about the crew member” at that time.

“The situation is stable,” the statement from NASA Communications added, noting that “NASA will share additional details, including a new date for the upcoming spacewalk, later.”

Expedition 74 Sees an Interruption

The developments aboard the ISS arrived as NASA’s Expedition 74 crew had been completing final preparation for what would have been its first spacewalk of 2026.

According to initial plans, astronauts Mike Fincke and Zena Cardman were scheduled to conduct a six-and-a-half-hour excursion that would begin a series of power system upgrades, including installing hardware and routing cables for future roll-out solar arrays.

In addition to plans related to the spacewalk, the ISS crew has been involved in research this week that includes physics and microbiology experiments, with additional research involving Earth observation, studies on cryogenic fluid storage, ultraviolet microbial disinfection, and AI-assisted transcription of crew activity logs.

Amid the Expedition 74 team’s work, international crew members were also providing support for their operations, according to an update issued at the ISS blog earlier on the same day that the medical situation was later revealed. At that time, NASA officials said support teams had continued to undertake overnight imaging of Earth and maintenance of station systems, operations which were expected to continue during Thursday’s planned spacewalk.

More fool you: 10 modus operandi of the mass manipulators

We are immersed in a behavioural psychology programme. The global elite is manipulating everything from incidents to information, in the process of building an authoritarian technocracy.

The powerful do not wait for events such as a pandemic to happen and then exploit; instead, they create the events, which are scripted for a predetermined outcome. But the masses must be kept in the dark about the real motives, while being steered into supporting policies that are against their interests. The modus operandi features the following means of deception.

1. Dual messaging

There are two audiences for public announcements and media reports on events. The vast majority (‘normies’) are told the official story and believe what they are told. They know it happened, because they saw it on ‘the news’. There is also a minority of critical thinkers, who the authorities know will ask questions and suspect that the narrative is not the full truth. These people are led to believe a parallel story.

For example, as David Fleming and I wrote on the Covid-19 ‘psy-op’, critical thinkers (who are mostly not as critical as they like to think) were given clues about the virus being leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China. Unwittingly, these self-limited sceptics reinforced the hoax of a novel and deadly pathogen (they believed that mortality was exaggerated but couldn’t see that the whole show was staged).

Another example was the ‘assassination’ of Charlie Kirk. People saw it on the internet or television in shocking detail. The story for the masses was that a leftist ‘tranny’ fired the shot from the roof of a nearby building. Critical thinkers were fed another story: that Kirk had been criticising Israel and was exterminated by a skilled sniper working for Mossad. Again, the alternative truth was useful to the powers-that-be, because it emphasised that anyone speaking out against the Israeli government or Zionism would be risking their life. Kash Patel, Donald Trump’s FBI chief, implied to the more alert critic that Kirk was not killed, because he hoped to see the allegedly deceased in Valhalla (the name of the federal witness protection programme, which can give a person a new identity).

Whenever a major incident occurs, the most popular alternative media figures (e.g. Alex Jones, Joe Rogan, Russell Brand) typically follow the lead given for critical thinkers by the scriptwriters.

It is not too extreme to start from the position that the presented story is completely false: the burden of proof should be on the official reporter rather than the critic. The only important consideration is the desired outcome: why are they doing this?

2. Inversion of purpose

The declared rationale for a policy may be hard to oppose, as it often promises convenience, cost savings or security, but the real purpose is usually to boost control. The masters of deception are clearly at work with the clampdown on freedom of expression on the internet. The Westminster government boasted that it would make the UK the safest country in the world for children online. The Online Safety Act was promoted as the instrument to save children from sexually inappropriate content and abuse, following years of propaganda about a ‘mental health crisis’ in younger people. However, this statute is used by the media regulator Ofcom for censorship of political opinion, indirectly administered by threatening social media platforms with mind-boggling fines.

Returning to child safety, if the authorities really wanted to reduce harm they would have acted more effectively to stop the Pakistani-origin ‘grooming gangs’ preying on white working-class girls, or they would tackle hard pornography at source. Arguably, the stated aim of policy is inverted. While schools teach awareness of mental health and ‘neurodiversity’, they make children feel less safe. And that is apparent in the compliance culture and lack of risk-taking and boisterous behaviour that you would previously have expected of teenagers.

Despite (or because of) the focus on mental health, the outcome of the education system is young people with pervading anxiety and learned vulnerability. This is what the powers-that-be want, and not only for children. Adults too are kept on their toes with stranger danger and other scares. The barrage of ‘see it, say it, sorted’ messages on the British railway network is to instil in minds dependence on the state. Government does not want you to feel safe, any more than pharmaceutical companies want you to be healthy.

Inversion was also apparent in the contrived Covid-19 contagion, which was used to launch the ‘Great Reset’. Among many achievements of this scam was a cull of the elderly (including discharge of older patients from hospital to care homes, where they were medicated with the terminal care combination of morphine and midazolam). The people, however, were told that lockdown and vaccines were necessary to ‘save Granny’.

Minneapolis Public Schools Cancel Classes and Activities for Rest of Week

Minneapolis Public Schools announced Wednesday night that all classes and activities were canceled for the rest of the week and that students would not have to do ‘e-learning’ at home while schools are closed.

Protests are expected in the coming days after a woman driver was shot and killed by a federal officer when she allegedly tried to run him over during a protest against ICE in a Minneapolis residential neighborhood Wednesday morning.

The Department of Homeland Security has surged up to 2,000 federal agents into Minnesota this week for immigration enforcement and investigations into billions of dollars in fraud involving mainly Somali immigrants ripping off federally funded Medicaid and other welfare programs.

HORROR: Dead Body Found at Disney World is SIXTH ONE in Just Three Months

Something very sinister is happening at the supposed happiest place on Earth.

A dead body was just discovered at Disney World and it’s the sixth one in just three months. It’s an obvious public relations disaster for Disney but it also raises all kinds of questions.

What are the odds of so many people turning up dead in one place, even if the deaths are unrelated?

Breitbart News reports:

Sixth Dead Body Found at Disney World in Less than Three Months

A sixth person has died at Disney World in less than three months. The body was found just one day after New Year’s Day, with the discovery coming after a series of deaths that have rocked the “Most Magical Place on Earth.”

Police say the body was found around 9:00 p.m. on Friday night in Disney Springs, a shopping center on the Walt Disney World property in Florida, according to a report by WKMG.

“Deputies responded to the Disney Springs Orange Garage on East Buena Vista Drive and discovered a man who was deceased,” the Orange County Sheriff’s Office told the outlet on Saturday.

“This incident is being investigated as a possible suicide,” the sheriff’s office added. “We have no additional information to release and will have no further updates this weekend.”

While Friday’s Disney World dead body discovery was the first of 2026, it is the sixth death to have happened at the amusement park since October.

The New York Post has details on the other deaths:

The death was the first at Disney World of the new year, but was just the sixth to happen there since October.

First, 31-year-old Disney superfan Sumer Equitz was found dead on Oct. 14 from an apparent suicide at Disney World’s Contemporary Resort.

Then on Oct. 21, a man in his 60s was found dead on a Disney World trail from a pre-existing medical condition at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground.

And just two days later on Oct. 23, 28-year-old Matthew Alec Cohn died after jumping the 12th floor of a Disney Hotel.

A woman in her 40s was then found dead at Disney’s Pop Century Resort on Nov. 2, while on Nov. 8 a body was found at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa in Lake Buena Vista.

If you’re having any serious health issues, you may want to avoid Disney properties for the near future. Perhaps a Six Flags park would be a safer bet.

Only 11 Diseases Now Covered by CDC’s Universal Childhood Vaccine Schedule, Down from 18

On Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) formally adopted a revised childhood and adolescent immunization schedule following a presidential directive from Donald Trump, marking the most significant rollback of universal childhood vaccine recommendations in modern U.S. history.

Under the revised schedule, only 11 diseases are now covered by vaccines recommended for all children.

COVID-19, influenza, hepatitis A and B, rotavirus, and meningococcal vaccines are no longer universally recommended and instead fall under shared clinical decision-making or high-risk categories.

The move raises a fundamental question about vaccination itself: how confidently can the safety and long-term benefit of any vaccine be trusted when the evidence supporting routine use remains subject to ongoing revision?

Vaccines have been linked to more than 2.7 million injuries, hospitalizations, and deaths since 1990.

The change follows a December Presidential Memorandum ordering the Department of Health and Human Services and the CDC to examine childhood vaccination schedules used by peer developed nations and to revise U.S. policy if superior approaches existed abroad.

No Surprise: Burma Army Leads Stilted Elections

The first round of Burma (Myanmar)’s three-phase elections began on December 28, 2025, under a framework imposed by the military junta that seized power in January 2021. With major opposition parties barred, voting canceled in 65 of the country’s 330 townships due to ongoing fighting, and further cancellations expected, the military-aligned Union Solidarity and Development Party is leading, an outcome critics say was predetermined.

The results defy logic. If the people wanted to be ruled by generals, they would not have been fighting the military for the past eight decades in what is widely recognized as the world’s longest-running conflict.

Opposition groups argue the vote is neither free nor fair and serves to legitimize continued military rule through tightly controlled elections that exclude major parties and suppress dissent, prompting several groups to call for a boycott.

The military government said more than six million people voted in the Dec. 28 first phase, claiming a turnout of about 52 percent of eligible voters in participating areas and calling it a success. The Union Election Commission said the USDP won 38 seats in the 330-seat lower house, with results still pending.

Party leader Khin Yi, a former general and police chief closely aligned with junta leader Min Aung Hlaing, was declared the winner in his Naypyitaw constituency. Naypyitaw is the military-built administrative capital established after the coup.

According to a senior USDP official speaking anonymously, the party has secured 88 of the 102 seats contested in the first phase, including 29 constituencies where it ran unopposed. The Shan Nationalities Democratic Party and the Mon Unity Party each won one seat. The official also claimed the USDP captured about 85 percent of contested regional legislature seats, though full results will only be known after later phases.

Myanmar’s parliament consists of two houses with 664 total seats, and the party controlling a combined majority can select the president and form a government. Under the constitution, the military is guaranteed 25 percent of seats in each chamber, giving it decisive built-in power regardless of election outcomes. Only six parties are competing nationwide with any realistic chance of parliamentary influence, with the USDP far ahead of its rivals.

Voting is being held in three phases because of ongoing fighting across the country. The first round covered 102 townships, with additional voting scheduled for Jan. 11 and Jan. 25, while 65 townships are excluded entirely due to conflict. Although thousands of candidates from dozens of parties are nominally contesting seats, political competition remains tightly restricted.

UK’s approval of self-amplifying vaccines is a catastrophic “mistake”

In 2018, Imperial College London entered into a partnership with the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (“CEPI”) to develop a self-amplifying RNA vaccine platform (“saRNA”) to enable tailored vaccine production against multiple viral pathogens.

“The consortium aims to develop ‘RapidVac’, a synthetic saRNA vaccine platform, which will be used to produce vaccines against influenza, rabies and Marburg, with hopes to move these products to Phase I clinical testing in humans,” Pharma Times wrote.

In June 2020, a team at Imperial College London announced that it had developed a vaccine against covid that used “bits of genetic code (called self-amplifying RNA).” 

“Once inside the cell, the self-amplifying RNA produces copies of itself, which can instruct the cell’s own machinery to make the coronavirus protein,” Imperial College said.  “The muscle cells will then produce lots of the spike protein … Some of the proteins will be presented on the surface of the muscle cells … When the immune system comes across these tiny spikes, it recognises them as foreign.”

Imperial College completed Phase I and II clinical trials, but due to the approval and rollout of several other covid injections, the decision was made not to proceed with trials in the UK.  Instead, the team focused their UK efforts on “developing self-amplifying RNA technology to adapt to new variants, to boost other vaccines and to be deployed against future pandemic threats,” Imperial College threatened in a January 2021 article.

Imperial College has also been working on saRNA vaccines for rabies, Chikungunya, Ebola, Lassa and Marburg. It has been a key pioneer in saRNA vaccine research, particularly through its collaborations with VaxEquity and AstraZeneca, but it is the US company Arcturus Therapeutics’ saRNA vaccine that has been approved for use in the UK.

On 2 January 2026, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) approved Kostaive (also known as Zapomeran), a self-amplifying mRNA (“sa-mRNA”) covid vaccine developed by Arcturus Therapeutics, for use in adults aged 18 years and older. 

Kostaive uses sa-mRNA technology, which includes genetic instructions for both the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and a viral replicase enzyme, enabling the mRNA to amplify itself within cells.  The stated aim is to enhance immune response with lower doses.

As Pharma Phorum described it, “Unlike regular mRNA vaccines, sa-mRNA vaccines – as their name suggests – instruct the body to make more mRNA and protein to boost the immune response, rather than relying on a finite dose which results in protection waning over time.”

“It is administered as a single 0.5 ml booster dose by intramuscular injection into the upper arm … Once injected, the sa-mRNA in lipid nanoparticles enters cells, where it directs production of the spike protein. The immune system recognises this protein as foreign,” Pharmacally wrote.

Recognising a protein in our bodies as foreign is the problem.  As Dr. Mike Yeadon explained in a video last month, making our bodies’ cells manufacture a foreign protein that our immune systems would attack results in autoimmune conditions, a self-to-self attack where our immune systems attack our own cells, thinking they are foreign invaders that need to be killed.

It would seem the vaccine industry is not satisfied with the effectiveness of mRNA vaccines waning over time, what they might refer to as “waning protection,” and so are seeking to extend the risk of autoimmune conditions through the use of saRNA “vaccines.”
