Seth Grossman WPG Radio 1.17.26: ICE Protests in Minnesota Using 120 Year Old Playbook. Atlantic County’s Hidden Tax Added to NJ Electric Bills.

The following are the key takeaways from the discussion between Seth Grossman of Liberty and Prosperity and John DeMasi: Political Protest Tactics: Grossman traces modern protest tactics back to Vladimir Lenin in 1905, arguing that placing photogenic individuals, such as white women, at the front lines is a calculated move to provoke police responses that garner public sympathy when documented. Alternative Law Enforcement: He suggests that law enforcement could counter these tactics by avoiding televised confrontations and instead using surveillance to make arrests at night or when cameras are not present. Constitutional Supremacy: Grossman emphasizes Article VI of the U.S. Constitution, asserting that federal immigration laws are the "supreme law of the land" and that "sanctuary" policies are a form of confederacy that violates officials' oaths of office. Economic Inefficiency and Hidden Taxes: Grossman critiques government spending and green energy projects: Wind Turbines: He argues that the revenue Atlantic County receives from wind turbines is essentially a "hidden county tax" funded by high electricity bills for consumers rather than useful energy production. Government Waste: He cites local examples of redundant construction and inefficient "grant-funded" projects where costs are ignored because they do not come directly from local budgets.

Excerpts of Seth Grossman Saturday Interview with John Demasi (Jan17, 2025):    DEMOCRATS ARE ORGANIZING VIOLENT PROTESTS IN MINNESOTA BECAUSE THEY WORK.   SETH GROSSMAN:  Let me answer your question. What is causing these protests? Why are they being done? Well, they're being done because they work.  What is their purpose? If you go back to 1905, you had a guy called Vladimir Lenin.  I'm not talking about John Lennon, the Beatle. I'm talking about Vladimir Lenin, the most successful Communist agitator in the world. He was trying to start a Communist Revolution in Russia in 1905. And the technique he used was to stage these protests, or demonstrations to show that the Communist Party represented all the, oppressed working people and peasants of Russia, who were victims, and that the government of the Czar was controlled by the rich and powerful. And Lenin wanted to show that the rich and power were brutal and unfair to poor working people and farmers, so the Communists would stage these demonstrations. Now this was in Russia, in 1905. That was 120 years ago.   VLADIMIR LENIN INSTRUCTED COMMUNISTS TO DO THE EXACT SAME THING IN RUSSIA IN 1905.   Above Image: Vladimir Lenin. In 1905, Lenin took full control of the Communist (Bolshevik) Party. In 1917, Lenin and his Communists overthrew the elected government and took control of Russia. During the next five years, Lenin and his followers killed some 10 to 14 million people in and around Russia through war, starvation and mass executions.  And this is how Lenin and the Communists would stage their demonstrations. They would put women and children in the front, complete with their baby carriages, and they would deliberately walk into areas where they would disrupt traffic or threaten the security of government buildings. That arranged these demonstrations so that the police had to physically block them.  The police had to physically stop women with baby carriages from blocking a street or entering a military area.  Now at that point, Lenin instructed his hard core radical terrorists to throw rocks or acid into the faces of the police.  And when the police tried to defend themselves or go after the terrorists hitting them with rocks or acid, they could not avoid knocking down women and children and babies in their strollers would get knocked over and some would be killed.   COMMUNISTS HAVE BEEN USING THE SAME PLAYBOOK FOR THE PAST 120 YEARS. AND THEIR METHODS STILL WORK!   And of course, the Communists had lots of photographers their and artists to make sketches. And the whole world saw images of brutal police attacking innocent women and children. Now this was back in 1905. And that technique was so successful that, twelve years later, Lenin and the communist party took over Russia in the 1917 Revolution. Communists and Socialists and the Left have been using those identical tactics ever since. In fact, they used to set up what they called Lenin Schools to teach those tactics to Communist organizers all over the world. This is how Communists took over governments in Cuba, China, Vietnam, and Venezuela. That's how they worked with radical ayatollah's to take over Iran. What is really amazing is that they haven't changed their playbook in 120 years. But their plays still work!   So you'll notice that all of the demonstrators in Minneapolis, they're all white women, very attractive, sympathetic people. But they all deliberately put themselves in positions where the police have to respond, just like in Russia in 1905. And when the police respond, they eventually find a bad officer, or a careless officer, or an officer having a bad day, or they put the officer in a situation where he has no choice.  Eventually, they get the shootings they want. Eventually, they get the brutality they want. And this is very, very effective.   BECAUSE OF THESE CONFRONTATIONS, 53% THINK THE SHOOTING BY ICE WAS NOT JUSTIFIED.  57% DISAPPROVE OF THE METHODS BEING USED BY ICE (IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT).   I just looked at the latest polls. Right now, 57% of the of American voters disapprove of the methods used by ICE, which is Immigration and Customs Enforcement. 53% of voters, thought that the shooting of that woman was NOT justified. So you see how successful these tactics have been. They completely turned public opinion against, the enforcement of federal law. And as you pointed out, there's no question that the federal agents have the right to do what they are doing. Just look at Article VI of our  US Constitution.   Article VI Clearly States that the US Constitution and Federal Immigration Laws are "The Supreme Law of the Land".   Article VI clearly states that our Federal Constitution, and all laws made in pursuance thereof, which includes Immigration Laws, are "the Supreme Law of the Land".  It also says that every police officer, every judge, every state legislator before taking office has to take an oath to support the Constitution and those federal laws. So, these Democrats keep using the term sanctuary to describe their cities and states, but they are really Confederates. These Democrats are doing exactly what Democrats did n 1860 when Abraham Lincoln was elected President. That is how they started the Civil War in South Carolina.   Saul Alinsky taught these methods in his 1960's book Rules for Radicals. However, he just described the methods used by Communists since 1905!   But the fact is that Democrats, socialists, and Communists, and Muslim Brotherhoods are all using techniques that Vladimir Lenin perfected in Russia in 1905. These methods have been taught in Communists schools since then.  That 1950's leftist agitator Saul Alinsky did not invent these methods when he wrote his book Rules for Radicals. He was just repeating word for word what Vladimir Lenin said to his followers in 1905, and what Communist schools have been teaching their agitators ever since.   WHAT SURPRISES ME IS THAT OUR SIDE HASN'T LEARNED HOW TO DEAL WITH THESE TACTICS.   So what those Democrats are doing doesn't surprise me. What does surprise me is how our side, the Republicans, have not learned how to deal with these tactics. So, if the if the Democrats want violent confrontations in the streets of Minneapolis, why would you send more police to give them the confrontations you want? I'm sure that if we would get 20 random people together at a Liberty and Prosperity breakfast and talk about this, these ordinary people would figure out a better response within twenty minutes. They would say things like, "Don't arrest those people with a big crowd around. Get the license plate number and impound the car and arrest them when they get home and are by themselves. Arrest them at night when there are no cameras around. Isn't that what the Iranian government did? The first thing the Iranian government did to crush their protestors was to turn off the Internet. They turned off the phones. They turned off the cameras, and they arrested and killed people when nobody was looking. And so they succeeded. So the Communists who invented these methods 120 years ago know exactly how to defeat them.   Now of course, we are a nation that has a Constitution and values and protects life and liberty. I am not saying we should shoot or kill people for doing this. However,
