Why Did Protesters Shut Down the LA Freeway?

is now being shut down by the other side. Demonstrators are on the surface of the southbound one oh one freeway and blocking traffic.

my backstory. I am a California native former I should say born and raised though thirty five plus years in California. Absolutely loved it until it was utterly destroyed by Gavin Newsom. So this story is personal to me. I am not going to pretend to be unbiased. I am extraordinarily biased about the circumstances that have led to this, the situation that exists today, and what ought to be done about it. I am going to lose a lot of supporters over what I have to say in the next twenty minutes

or whatever this episode ends up being. I am radicalized on this issue, and I'm going to give you the backstory. I'm going to tell you why you don't have to agree with me, and I hope that for once we could actually maybe dis agree and still be friends at the end of it. But if not, that's fine too,

because I'm going to tell you the truth. I'm gonna tell you what I saw with my own eyes, and I'm gonna tell you how I feel about it, and I'm gonna tell you what I think we ought to be doing moving forward, and you can decide to agree or disagree. That's fine. It's America, after all. Before I give you my story, let's see some of the chaos that is ensuing. This is all effective as of last night,

to give you an idea of what's happening. So first up, you can see that we've got some I think that's LAPD I'm not sure, but they are pinned down underneath the overpass again. I think that's the one.

autonomy his own? Once again, you have anti ice protesters that are setting up barricades on the streets and hunkering down, preparing for a fight of some magnitude. It's amazing to witness and it's not at all surprising, but it is disappointing. For so many years of mismanagement from Karen bass Is,

the mayor of La Gavin Newsmith, the governor. There isn't a catastrophe that hasn't happened over the past few years that they haven't found some weird roundabout way to blame on Donald Trump, even when he was the president of the United States. Fires in the Palisades and things like that. Every single failing of their management has been laid at the feet of Donald Trump somehow. And let me tell you, as someone who lived there, it is not a consequence

of Donald Trump. It is not a consequence of Donald Trump's rhetoric or his behavior or anything like that. Now you can argue this one is because he's in fact the one that's ordering these ice raids to go after illegal immigrants. Allegedly, Tom Holman says they're going after the criminals,

like violent ones. I don't know if that's accurate or if they're doing widespread mass deportation at this junction, but regardless, it's still a consequence of the policies of the governor of California, because all of these sanctuary cities throughout California have created an environment in which illegal immigration has skyrocketed for years and years, and then Joe Biden left the border open for four years and guess what, a lot

of people came in. So now, because of the way the portionment system works when it comes to congressional representation, even if you're not a citizen in even if you're not allowed to vote, if you are there in the state, you are counted for congressional seat apportionment, which means that if you allow for millions of legals to come into the state of California or Texas or whatever border state they go into, that means that you get more congressional seats,

and oftentimes that are in fact, mathematically it has to subtract from some other states because you're still going to have a cap of four hundred and thirty five in the House. So that's how it works, and this has been the game plan for the longest time. This is the Democrats game plan to essentially monopolize the system of government that we live under. This is ultimately what started to shift my mentality when it came to immigration and

the border system. This is not about humanitarianism. If you think for a second that Gavin Newsom cares about Juanita, you're out of your fucking mind. This guy he could not care less, doesn't care even slightly about Jose or whatever. This is purely a political power play, a maneuver, a circumvention of the system in order to add to their power, into monopolized power by which they could essentially abuse the people that are from America. That's what they've been doing

for a very long time. Now, I'm going to give you more backdrop as to why I change my opinion on this issue. We'll get to that in a second. Let's check out some more.

be waymos that have is set on fire. So this is a part of the night that law enforcement really worries about because when I look at some of these protesters, they are not resembling the people who were here when all of this began earlier this morning in Los Angeles. This crowd is different, and so now you have a problem for law enforcement trying to contain these people, whoever they may be.

details in that funny? Is that amazing? What's the implication The implication is that these are much more dangerous protesters, perhaps ones that are not so much interested in keeping deportations from happening, but rather I don't know, let's take a look at this. Just your standard Soviet flag wearing spectator as cops are pinned down underneath an overpass. Who doesn't wear a mask and adorn themselves with a Soviet flag? Oh my goodness. Yeah. So whether or not these people

are paid agitators, I can't say definitively. Obviously, I don't know for sure. I'd be surprised if some of them are. There has been reports that Natifa has put out the siren called ticket there people activated out on the streets. So I expect this to get really out of hand overnight and potentially go crazy over this next week. I hope not, but I'll give you my prescription as to how to remedy it. And let me tell you, libertarians

aren't going to like it. And in case you were wondering if that journal what was wrong about the Waymo cars being on fire, here you go. So, yes, our technocratic dystopia is having a bit of a setback. The self driving Waymo cars, which cost over two hundred thousand dollars apiece are a set of blaze. So what's happening is that people are You have to assume people are ordering way moos to come pick them up, and then they're lighting them on fire. Quite an interesting way of protesting.

Let's hear what Gavin Newsom has to say about this kerfuffle.

and we need to push back. I'm sorry to be so clear, but that kind of blow eating is exhausting. So tom, arrest me, let's go.

of his protests arrest me. Tom Holman, I'm standing in between these poor people that I didn't give a shit about ever, that I locked in their houses for years as a consequence of a pathogen that wasn't even transferable through the air, that actually vitamin D was one of the best remedies that if you actually were in the sun, it was actually going to keep you alive. And I said, stay in your fucking house. And by the way, did I leave the liquor stores open? Yes? I did? Did

I close down the gyms also? Yes? Yeah I care. I'm standing in between you, Donald Trump and Tom Holman and these poor landscapers. It's just such fucking bullshit. If anyone buys this guy's stick, you are so fucking low. IQ should not be allowed to vote. And don't get it twisted. It ain't just limited to La here is just outside the ICE headquarters in San Francisco, as I said earlier. According to Andy No, Antifa International has issued

a call to action to hit the streets. This is gonna get crazy, and I'm gonna do my best to implore libertarians to think this through on a multitude of levels. And I don't expect you guys to agree with me, So just calm down, okay, But do you want to side with Antifa and the communists on this? Do you think that they may have motivations that aren't the same as you. Is there a chance that they're motivated by something else, given that the vast majority of them are

overt communists. I hope you are thinking this through deeply. I really mean that once you understand, particularly the NGO network. So let me give the whole backdrop as to how I changed my mind on the immigration issue. First off, I was raised in California. I watched as my state changed dramatically and degraded as a consequence of that. Now, I didn't correlate that with immigration. I didn't think of

it that way at all. Honestly, I thought of it primarily as a consequence of taxes and regulation, and I still believe that played a huge role obviously. However, I then started to recognize, based off of congressional apportionment, that there was actually an incentive to allow for this to continue and to grow exponentially. And then I realized that there was a trend amongst democratic states to have sanctuary cities by which they could get more congressional representation. Then

I dug a little bit deeper. Then I realized that there was actually plans through the United Nations back in the mid two thousands where they talked about how they were going to essentially provide reparations to the Third World by allowing for I legal immigration into the first World. And by first world, what they really mean was the West. And if you've looked at Europe lately, you already see what that looks like. It has not been great. Now.

There are a lot of conflating factors here. This is not a simple story, and I think that's the biggest problem with trying to analyze this in a simplistic fashion and a purely principled answer. People are free to travel where they want. That's a libertarian one oh one answer. There's a lot of conflating factors. So I want you to just consider all of this and then decide for yourself.

Then you add on top of the United Nations, the World Economic Forums plans they talk about replacement migration, where as depopulation starts to happen because there isn't enough reproduction in certain countries, it can be supplemented by immigration to offset the loss of revenue from the lack of reproduction of the domestic population. They argue, because of the nature of the social safety net, not just welfare programs, but social security, all of the entire entitlement basket you have

to have because they're all Ponzi schemes. You have to have more people paying in than are receiving. If the baby boomer population doesn't reproduce, and if their offspring doesn't reproduce to a level that's as much or higher, then the ponzi scheme goes bust, now, doesn't it. And believe it or not, that was the more benign explanation that they just wanted to maintain the house of cards that is our social safety net. And if that was the only justification, I guess it wouldn't be that bad. But

that is not the only justification. What they realized very rapidly is that those that are immigrating from the third world, in particular, we're not talking about people that are immigrating from Canada into America or from France or the UK into America. But people that are migrating from Latin America the poorer areas, or from Africa or from the Middle East, they come across and their destitute, they're extremely poor. Therefore they need help right away. Who are the people that

need help going to vote for? Historically, based off the domestic population, they're going to vote for the Democrats because those are the people that are offering the most handouts. The Republicans, at least in terms of rhetoric, are offering not that, even though they oftentimes give them that too.

So that was the thought process. Now the endgame is to get as many people in as possible that aren't American and then offer them citizenship by which they are then dutifully supposed to support and vote for Democrats for the rest of their life because they were allowed in under Democrat policy and they were offered the most handouts by the Democrats, so why wouldn't they Then they were offered citizenship by the Democrats, so of course they're going

to be dutiful foot soldiers for the Democratic regime. That's the thought process. But it gets way darker than that, and this is what I think libertarians ought to be most upset about. This is where it gets super sinister, the NGO networks. Once I realized that the United Nations had these plans, I then thought, is this actually happening?

Is it actually being funded? The answer is yes, through the United Nations and through the NGO networks, tens and tens of billions of dollars billions with a B that's how much money your tax dollars are being used to assist in the illegal immigration into your country, not the legal immigration. So you are being robbed As a libertarian.

That should upset you. To fund people to come into your country, to then outnumber you and to vote against your interests, and to ultimately erode your liberty for the rest of your existence as well as undermine the fiscal solvency of your nation. That is the game plan. Now, if you haven't heard of the Cloward Pivens strategy, this is that you create a paradigm by which the system is overwhelmed. That's what they've been doing for decades. When

did they start calling Donald Trump a fascist? Checked it was day one. It was immediately before he was even in power. And why did they do that? If you look at the circumstances that they created. It basically forces any Republican that comes into power, if he intends to remedy it, to use state power to do so. If he does that, then they get to say, told you fascist. So this is the tails you lose, heads I win scenario.

They're trying to paint him into a corner, and more than that, paint all of us, the Americans, the domestic population into a corner too.

they're doing. They'll take backpack, and the backpack will have a cinder block, and if they have a hammer, and they'll break up the cinder block and use that pass it around to throw at officers, to throw at cars and throw.

the community. So what has happened in California since twenty twenty thanks to the defund the police movements? A lot of the police forces have been defunded and they are undermanned.

put it at four million. I think it's far higher than that by some estimates, there's four million legal immigrants just in LA County alone. It's a very large state, and well LA County is huge, there's a lot more than that. A lot of people think there's more than ten million there. I don't know. Some people say twenty. I'm not going to guess at the amount. The point that I'm trying to get to is that we're talking

about an astronomical amount of people. Astronomical. Now, as I said, I don't know if Donald Trump intends to deport all of them. I doubt it. I don't even think it's possible. But even if you say that the ten million estimate is right, and then you just take one percent of that, if one percent of the ten million is in fact criminal like violent elements, that would mean you have one hundred thousand people that you have to try and root out of a state of forty million, and then deport

all of those people. Well, the domestic population, many of which are also illegal immigrants, but perhaps not the violent type, are out on the streets protesting you in mass How do you do that? The answer is you're not gonna. Okay, it's not gonna happen. It's not gonna happen with ICE agents. It's not gonna happen with local PD. You're gonna have to bring in the fucking military. Now. I am not prepared to call for that because I think once you bring in the military onto domestic soil or in very

dark territory. And just to be clear, despite the fact that I don't support it, there are a ton of Republican voters, maybe the majority, I'm not sure, but it's a lot of Trump supporters, Trump voters Maga that want to see that. And there's a real chance that it happens. As you're watching this like it's close, if it gets really violent over the next day or two, I would not be surprised at all if it goes from four hundred marines to thousands of military troops on the ground

in California. And once you're at that point, especially when you have a governor that's going against it, especially once you have the mayor of la which is going against it, I'm sure the mayor of San Francisco will go against it. It's a real conflict that has a chance to boil over into a serious crisis. I don't know if that's where we're headed. But there's a distinct possibility that we are.

While I think that may very well be a violation of the Passe Comatati sect, which is a US federal law that restricts the use of federal military personnel for domestic law enforcement. But here's the caveat unless specifically authorized by the Constitution or Congress, which means there is a chance that, in fact, because the Constitution does give border control to the FEDS, that means that perhaps they do

have the right to use the on domestic soil. So I think that there's a real argument that the Supreme Court would hold that up, in which case we could see major military action on domestic soil in cal And. As Elon said, this is not okay. Look, I am not the type to lean into hard nationalism to uphold the flag. I remember when I was in high school, I thought it was such an absurdity that I had

to stand up for the Pledge of allegiance. And I thought, because I was a libertarian from even back then, and I know that's crazy, I was weird. But anyways, I refused and I got I think I got detention or something for it, but I just didn't like it. I've always been very critical of groupthink and any sort of fealty towards the state, and I still feel that way to a large extent. But I'll tell you this, I don't like seeing people stand on top of burnout cars

waving a Mexican flag in my country. Yeah, I said it, my country, it is, it's mine, Okay, I'm gonna say it. I don't care. I was born here. I have a better claim to it than anybody else in the rest of the world. I'm standing on that, and when I see some with a foreign flag standing on top of burnt out cars in my country, it does not feel like assimilation to me. It feels like conquest. And I don't know how anybody looks at that and doesn't feel similarly.

Today's episode of Liberty Lockdown with Clint Russell is brought to you by our friends over at crowd Health. If you've had to deal with health insurance, you already know it sucks.

code lockdown. Folks like that are not here to get along. They're not here to become an American. They are here to replace the domestic population with their own set of cultural beliefs and values, whatever they may be.

kind of Antifa slash Marxist rhetoric. I'll make it very blunt. These people don't reflect my values. Now, I don't think it's necessary good to honor all laws. Unjust laws you should violate. There are laws that are just, and therefore you should not violate them, like murder, for instance. These people are overtly and boldly violating the laws of this country and some of the laws that I think matter, like who is a citizen, who is allowed to be here?

And this is not a minor incursion or talking tens and tens of millions by some estimates, thirty million plus by some estimates. It's fifty million or higher of illegal immigrants throughout the entire country, not just California. Now, will all of them vote for the Democrats?

here legally will ultimately vote Democrat. These are first generation. Now, as the generations go on, certainly they'll acclimate more to the American way, and many of them will then embrace gun rights and privacy rights and things of that nature, and they may lean more libertarian or Republican, But the first generation, the mass majority, will vote Democrat dutifully. The illegal immigrants, do you think that they're going to be higher or lower than that? My guess is even higher.

And no matter how you feel about the pledge of allegiance, if you're the type of person that lights the American flag on fire while you're here illegally, spits on it, and then chance, do you think that they're the type that really love the Constitution, Because it strikes me that, well, yes, I fully support anybody who wants to protest, and I absolutely support burning the flag if you want to. I wouldn't do it myself, and I would probably recommend against it.

But if you're here illegally and you are burning the American flag in a country that you are not here legally, that tells me that you are here to take over, and based off the voting trends, I know exactly how you will. And unfortunately, the Democrat Party has become such an existential threat to my liberty that if you intend to vote in such a huge percentage in favor of the Democrats. Then I have to perceive that as a maneuver by which you have full spectrum dominance when it

comes to electoral victories, and that is the goal. Don't get it twisted. So what's the answer, I'll tell you. After the Summer of Love, the twenty twenty riots, which extended for months, I think you have to crack down hard. And I say this with major hesitancy because I don't think I've ever supported federal law enforcement on any matter. So I'm very hesitant with what I'm saying. Let me

be very clear, but I think it's necessary. I think that if you allowed this to go on, if you basically say we can't deport anybody, not even the violent ones, because you're gonna have there's no way to discern you have all of these protests that are stopping ICE agents from doing their job. According Tom Homan, they're going after the violent illegal immigrants. They're not even going after the

line workers and shit like that. So if you can't deport the violent ones either, you are basically accepting the Cloward Piven strategy that they have put you into. And I refuse to do that. And I know that all of the worst people on earth intend to use this paradigm by which I am relegated into slavery. Maybe not physical or literal slavery, but slavery nonetheless. Now I've probably lost my entire libertarian audience during this rant. I hope not, but if I have so, be it. Now I'm gonna

try and gain you back. If you've hung on this long, I'm gonna give you some red meat. This is what we ought to be really concerned about. Okay, According to John Weissman, these hexagons aren't always mq nines, but in this case, yes, there are two MQ nine Reapers over la today. Just ridiculous. Now, for those not familiar with the MQ nine Reaper, those were deployed in the Global

War on Tear. It is a versatile, medium altitude, long endurance, armed, remotely piloted aircraft primarily used for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions, as well as strike missions against dynamic targets. So why does that matter other than the obvious that the same devices, these same fucking flying killing machines that flew over weddings throughout the Middle East and just wiped out people. Willy Nilly, oftentimes are now flying over American soil. Not fucking cool.

But it gets worse. Someone I consider a bit of a friend, not fully, but we know each other. She says, this is Laura Lumer this morning. Time to deploy Pallanteer tech to Los Angeles to deal with the illegals. You'd love to see it. You're lying if you say you wouldn't. Hi, Laura Clint Russell here love to see it? No, I would not. Now why did I run that back to

back with the Reaper drone? For those that don't know, the primary thing that Palanteer does, which, by the way, I'm working on a deep dive episode on Palnteer which should be out in about two days. You guys are going to want to check that one out for sure, But Palenteer's technology is capable of very high level facial recognition and database technology to cross overlay these risk assessments. Just check out the episode in a couple of days.

I'll give you the full rundown. But the fact that there's m Q nine Reaper drones over Los Angeles and you have Miss Lumer posting about unleashing Palateer's technology on that, that means that Once you have the surveillance of these protests, you're able to put it into the database for palenteer by which they can use social media, everything on the internet AI. It's very high level and ultimate create a total domestic police state, surveillance state. And I'm not talking

just for illegal immigrants. I'm not talking just for deportations. I'm talking about in perpetuity. I'm talking about forever, because guess what, once the government realizes what this technology is capable of, which by the way, they already have. They've already realized it when it comes to Gaza, because they're involved too, they know it will be utilized against us, and it will not just be utilized for deportations, it

will be utilized forever. More So, the primary thing I want you guys to think of in your mind is this Gavin Newsom walking a trojan horse through the gates and inside it sits palaeer. Particularly if things get really out of hand, they are absolutely going to be deploying that. And the Trump administration primarily because of JD. Vance and his relationship with Peter Theal which I will get into

deep detail on in a few days. The Daisy chain of contacts in this administration that leads directly to palateer is concerning. To put it mildly, the fact that you have Laura Lumer tweeting that out this morning gives me serious concern.

And I hope more than anything, whatever you conclude when it comes to the immigration issue or the border, that you think deeply before you advocate for palentnteer technology to be unleashed on the domestic population. Because if there's one thing I've learned about giving the government additional authorities, it will always end up in the hands of a president you don't trust. So if you like Donald Trump, imagine President AOC wielding the palenteered database over the American people.
