Warning about a Minneapolis march Sat. morning (Feb. 7).

[iemanja]

This is from a post on my union's Signal chat. People are reliable there.

Armed Citizens Against Tyranny (ACATUSA) is promoting an open carry march Saturday, February 7, gathering at 8:30AM and marching at 10:30AM from the intersection of East 34th & 5th Ave S to Glam Doll Donuts.

We have high confidence this is a federal honeypot, with evidence as follows:

1. No one in the community or local firearms communities knows anyone associated with this group. They activated their website ACATUSA on January 10th.

2. Their domain: ACATUSA, has, since the early 2000s, linked directly to the FBI .gov website, and previously presented itself as Armed Citizens Against Terrorism, which also had links for FBI tiplines.

3. Public and private requests for clarity on who this organization is and where they came from have been met with opaque, repetitive responses.

4. Organizations across the political spectrum, from the SRA, Atlas Defense, and the MN Gun Owners Caucus, have all warned against participation in the event.

Do Not Engage with this march. They are requesting people with Permits To Carry identify themselves to the group and march with unloaded firearms *while also stating they will allow “former” law enforcement/military to march with loaded firearms. They are also requesting unarmed people follow and march with them, as well as volunteers to help marchers check in.

Under no circumstances should you engage with this march, and take extreme caution in the area of the proposed route.

11. The location is residential with an elementary school and a church close by.

20. They're marching on a Sunday so

proximity to a school is moot.

[mysteryowl]

21. There march is today. Feb. 7th

Typically, demonstration/protest marches are at significant locations. I wonder what significance this location has.
It might be ending at the Pretti shooting location. I am not sure.

(Why the attitude about my post?)
Have a good day.

22. There was no attitude in my post.

Pointing something out is not "attitude." And my point remains the same: it's a Saturday so being in proximity to a school is moot.

[mysteryowl]

23. oh my

the school was not the point.

I am done now.

[intheflow]

25. If the school wasn't the point, why did you say anything at all?

I literally don't understand why you'd post it's by a school - which of course implies children will see it and maybe be traumatized. My innocent comment that a school would be closed on the weekend speaks directly to the only point you made in your post.

2. K&R

Figured this would happen eventually. Watch it turn out to be just ICE and cohorts in plain clothes. They think everyone is dumber than they are.

3. Smells like magats to me

[Shipwack]

9. You are giving them a bit too much credit.

Sounds more like a government organized false flag operation… Cointelpro 2.0, if you will.

[SheltieLover]

19. Maggoty govt yes

[Deuxcents]

4. I hope this message gets out..not much notice for the warning.

[iemanja]

5. I should have posted it earlier when I saw it

but I didn't really think about it until I just looked at the Signal again. I'm sure it's making its way through other networks. Ocelot II posted a thread from Reddit saying the same thing.

[live love laugh]

6. And media will treat them as antagonists without even reading posts like this.

[iemanja]

7. Not our local media

They've been pretty good.

[popsdenver]

8. I suspect the "powers to be"

are doing anything they can to provoke violence in order to enact the Insurrection Act.

PEACEFUL, un-armed protestors only........

10. The "Internet" does not recommend going to the website. I has a low trust score.

[iemanja]

12. Which website?

[mysteryowl]

13. ACATUSA

[iemanja]

15. Oh, right.

I figured that out after the fact. I never tried going there myself.

[mysteryowl]

17. I just did a search and websites wrote warnings.

14. This doesn't sound good, not good at all.

They are requesting people with Permits To Carry identify themselves to the group and march with unloaded firearms *while also stating they will allow “former” law enforcement/military to march with loaded firearms.

By 'law enforcement', I assume they mean ICE. and the military will be locked and loaded. So, will the military fire on American citizens?

[iemanja]

16. If given half a chance

Hopefully it will be like the White Suprematist one a couple weeks ago when only 10 people turned up.

[sheshe2]

18. No one should go.

Let them strut their stuff with their big boy, super-duper JI Joe costumes.

Stay away and let them play soldier boy. They are armed and are dangerous. If in fact any member of the military shows up, then they should be dishonorably discharged.
