Defense Secretary celebrates ICU nurse’s execution. Federal agents block crime scene access. DHS destroys evidence. Minneapolis creates blueprint to make armed units irrelevant.

Federal agents pepper-sprayed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse protecting a woman they had shoved, wrestled him onto a Minneapolis sidewalk Saturday morning, and fired ten shots in five seconds. Pretti’s body jerked with each impact while agents stood over him. Video shows an agent removing Pretti’s legal firearm from his body one second before another agent shot him. Eight seconds after he lay motionless, they yelled “gun.” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, born in Minneapolis, celebrated: “Thank God for the patriots of ICE, we have your back 100%.” Federal officials labeled the dead nurse a domestic terrorist. Two weeks earlier, ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot 37-year-old mother Renée Good three times as she drove away.
Minnesotans built coordinated protection networks. Strangers alerted entire blocks, neighbors shielded one another, communities tracked federal movements. The shootings revealed a government rattled by the population it claims to control.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara: “We recovered 900 guns last year, arrested hundreds of violent offenders, and didn’t shoot anyone. Federal agents killed two Minneapolis residents in three weeks.”
The nurse they executed had given final salutes to dying veterans for a decade.
The coordinated refusal now has a name: C.L.E.A.R., City Lines Emptied As Refusal (#CLEAR, #CityLinesEmptiedAsRefusal). The strategy strips federal brutality of the public movement required to justify force. Federal units patrol empty streets, searching for targets among people who refuse to appear. Minnesota officials obtained a search warrant but federal agents refused crime scene access.
Populations withdraw from public space at scale and governing authority collapses faster than armed resistance ever managed.
Residents already practice the fundamentals. Residents shelter those fleeing danger, map safer routes, refuse to abandon anyone facing armed units. The solidarity exists. C.L.E.A.R. systematizes what communities already know.
Myanmar’s Silent Strike on February 1, 2022, stopped cities after massacres and mass detentions. Streets cleared, neighborhoods halted, images spread worldwide. The military government lost control of rural provinces within months. The strike proved the junta governed nothing once people withdrew cooperation, and armed resistance gained ground in the vacuum.
Manila emptied in 1986 after years of martial law, assassinations, and torture centers. Shop owners closed simultaneously. Transportation networks stalled. The Marcos regime controlled buildings but governed no one. Marcos fled the country three weeks later.
South Africa’s stay-away movements in the 1980s, coordinated through townships under surveillance and threat of forced removal, shut down the labor and commercial activity sustaining apartheid. White-owned businesses hemorrhaged revenue. The government negotiated because the economy collapsed without Black participation.
Poland’s Solidarity movement combined strikes with comprehensive withdrawal starting in 1981. Workers forced underground by martial law stopped attending state celebrations, ignored propaganda campaigns, built parallel economies. The communist government maintained buildings and uniforms while losing the daily cooperation making governance possible. The regime fell eight years later without firing a shot.
Picture Nicollet Mall at noon, silent. Skyways empty. Light Rail platforms bare. Federal agents photographed on vacant streets with no one to intimidate. Careers end with that image.

Critics claim withdrawal hands the state an open field. Governments stage-manage aggression through visible disorder. Federal agents frame their violence as response to chaos they provoke. Remove the crowd and they own only their actions, stripped of narrative cover.
Hannah Arendt wrote that power “springs up whenever people get together and act in concert, but it derives its legitimacy only from the initial getting together.” Federal operations require the public to perform. Withdraw that performance and legitimacy vanishes.
Authoritarian governments project stability through visible public movement. Erase those signals and their claims disintegrate. Armed units on empty streets look unsteady and exposed. Escalation fails when no one participates.
People already recognize danger ahead of official statements. Organized refusal works because it eliminates the interactions federal agents exploit to justify force.
President Trump told the Wall Street Journal that Pretti carried a “dangerous and unpredictable gun” despite video showing agents removed it from his body. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem claimed, without evidence, that Pretti arrived “to inflict maximum damage.”
The strategy succeeds through rotating participation in ordinary routines. Neighborhoods fall quiet simultaneously and officials lose any claim to disorder. Communities direct the city’s rhythm.
Residents stay home during specific windows, leave temporarily, use virtual services, work remotely, limit travel, pause discretionary spending, keep visitor corridors still, dim household lights, rely on public institutions for verified information. Public life pauses on community terms. Federal forces lose the interactions required to frame their presence as legitimate.
C.L.E.A.R. Protocol: How Your Block Stops Federal Terror
C.L.E.A.R. Protocol: Tactical Intelligence for Neighborhood Defense
Immediate Actions (Operations underway through November midterms):
Switch to virtual mailbox services. Earth Class Mail, PostScan Mail, Traveling Mailbox digitize mail before it reaches your address. Federal units photograph mailboxes to document occupancy.
Redirect all packages to pickup locations. Amazon Lockers, UPS Store holds, retail pickup points. Stacked boxes flag addresses for surveillance.
Rotate household participation. Different homes go silent on different days. Federal units track consistency, not randomness.
Pre-position vehicles blocks away. Move cars hours before freezes. Empty driveways signal absence; thermal imaging detects recently driven engines.
Map alternate routes through interior spaces. Basements to neighbors, shared backyard fences, alley exits. Federal units watch streets and front doors, not paths they can’t see.
Exchange documents before movement stops. ID copies, medical info, emergency contacts pass to trusted neighbors now. Information flows without exposure later.
During Maximum Quiet:
Use invisible entry/exit points. Federal vehicles track three points per block: intersections, main routes, parking areas. Move through backyards, alleys, basement connections.
Maintain occupancy appearance from concealed positions. Timed lights, curtain adjustments, unchanged exteriors. Shelter deeper inside while the home looks lived-in.
Reduce sound profile. Empty streets amplify conversations, doors, engines. Federal units deploy audio surveillance when visual contact drops.
Coordinate through designated watchers. One household per block maintains concealed sightlines. Everyone else stays invisible. Information moves through watchers, not exposed individuals.
Go dark on all social platforms. Posts timestamp location, photos contain metadata, check-ins map movements. Federal analysts scrape public activity to identify coordination.
Avoid automated vehicle tracking. License plate readers log every car through targeted areas. Use detection-free routes or vehicles not registered to your address.
Strategic Outcomes:
Let federal units document empty streets. Your absence becomes their proof of “coordinated disruption.” Each photograph of silent blocks proves the strategy works.
Economic pressure compounds operational failure. Delivery drivers report empty streets. Orders drop. Businesses close. Revenue stops. Operations become economically unsustainable.
Boring surveillance footage defunds missions. Hours of silent blocks make terrible evidence for “public safety” justifications. Your absence removes their operational narrative.
Share the C.L.E.A.R. checklist, print it, and move it through your community fast.
Federal operations start to crack the moment a city refuses to give them the spectacle they need to justify their presence.
When the public steps back, their violence loses every scrap of borrowed legitimacy.
They murdered a nurse who spent his life honoring dying veterans, and they will press into any neighborhood they think won’t stand up.
Empty streets cut the power to their theater and expose the whole operation.
