A civil war is a war between organized groups within the same country or nation. It is a conflict fought between different factions of people who live in the same country, with the aim of taking power, changing government policies, or achieving secession.  

This is exactly what is happening in Portland at the ICE facility, and in Los Angelas, in Chicago and other sanctuary cities. Americans fighting Americans over the the idea of open borders. If a country has no borders – then it is not a country is it? Think about it. Are we Mexico? Are we Canada? There is a group that wants to get rid of our country and its constitution, and have a one world government with themselves as the rulers! Some of these groups are funding the riots! I have not been watching these riots on any news networks – I have been watching videos taken by people who are there at these riots.
Portland, Los Angelas, Chicago…….

In Portland, Police and other law enforcement agencies of the US have arrived – not the national guard – and have finally brought some law and order to this area.( The ICE building was attacked, the windows broken out, and you can see where someone tried to set fire to the building when there were people inside!!). You can see the people who live in that area, plus bystanders, are cheering law enforcement on. Me too!

The streets were blocked by protestors so people trying to get to work or come home from work couldn’t do it. The noise the protestors made kept the people living in these areas from getting sleep. Also some of the people living there were afraid to leave their apartments to get groceries etc. It is a truth that civilization can not exist without law and order.

Some of you older people need to get used to the idea of paid protestors – I think most protestors are paid today. Most of these protestors are groups like Antifa, or BLM, and they are backed by money from persons that want to make big changes or eliminate our constitution and local governments. Resisting law and order!! Defund the police!

Antifa is the group funded by elites that is starting and perpetuating some of these civil wars. Their goal is to destroy this country and its constitution to bring about a “NEW WORLD ORDER” to be totally controlled by a handful of the very elite with no guarantees of any rights the citizens.

This group is called “The globalists”. Representing this group – the WEF -the ”World Economic Forum” can be seen on YouTube. You have to go back a few years to watch them telling the American people how they will live in this new world order, and believe me you won’t like what they say. You will own nothing they tell you, plus they tell you there is no God, so get over it!!

I read that main (lame) street media is going away – most people don’t watch it anymore – basically if you really want to know what is going on – you have to search it out and find information somewhere else!

Sheriff tells Clatsop County Commissioners ICE interaction could be ‘perilous’ Published 11:30 am Thursday, November 13, 2025 By MATHIAS LEHMAN-WINTERS Clatsop County Sheriff Matthew Phillips said ICE operations put local law enforcement in a tough spot. (The Astorian file photo) They operate with ‘a different rulebook’ On Saturday, Nov. 8, six people were detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials in Seaside. The community was alarmed by the actions and it was one of the main topics of discussion at the Clatsop County Commission meeting on Wednesday. Clatsop County Sheriff Matthew Phillips spoke at the meeting and communicated to the commissioners that he and the other 35 sheriffs across the state had had an earlier meeting that day with ICE officials. The meeting, Phillips said, did nothing to assuage local law enforcement concerns about ICE raids.  “We laid out several instances that brought significant concern, and basically they didn’t blink,” said Phillips. “They were maybe indifferent to what our concerns were, not responsive or acknowledging them.” The sheriffs listed examples of dangerous situations to Scott Meyer, interim field office director for ICE out of Seattle, and other ICE officials. In one instance, a sheriff said an unidentified ICE vehicle chased a car resulting in a high-speed crash in Salem. In another, ICE agents stopped a woman, took her car keys and ID and left her on the side of the road. The sheriffs reported that local law enforcement agencies had been flooded recently with calls about abductions and apparent crimes that turned out to be ICE operations, according to Phillips.  “We had a very unproductive conversation with ICE today, so that’s problematic,” said Phillips. “It really harms the legitimacy,” he said. Commissioner Mark Kujala said ICE actions are causing fear in the community and are not acceptable. “There is a certain arrogance and obviously not a spirit of cooperation or collaboration with what is going on,” said Kujala. “We have U.S. citizens that (are) carrying around their passports because they’re afraid that just because of the color of their skin they’re going to get arrested or detained.” Phillips said the ICE officials said there were increasing numbers of assaults and threats directed at them. They said assaults against their officers were up 1,000%, and threats against the families of ICE officers up 8,000%.  “I can’t help but wonder if the way they’re conducting business has an impact on that,” said Phillips. “You can do it respectfully and still accomplish the mission.” Phillips said he had told ICE officials that their tactics “don’t necessarily fit the profile of the person that they’re taking down. …they’re not all taken off  the Top 10 Most Wanted list,” he said. Commissioner Lianne Thompson wondered if ICE was conducting the detentions lawfully.  “What I hear you describing (and) what I read about is lawlessness under the guise of a federal policy,” said Thompson. She then asked what the commission could do to support the sheriff’s department. “This is a very difficult situation,” Phillips said. “Federal law enforcement is able to operate with a lot more liberties than state and local law enforcement. We have to accept that they have a different rulebook.” Phillips then said he is concerned that if his deputies or other local law enforcement challenged ICE agents during an action, they could be arrested for interfering with federal operations. “Potentially, the best thing we could do is be good observers and document and report things,” said Phillips.  Phillipps said he “has the sense” that the ICE officials they were talking in the meeting weren’t aware of what actually was taking place as they said with assurance that their agents always wore vests with clear markings. “The sheriffs around the room basically laughed and challenged them on that and said, ‘That is not what’s happening in the communities,’” said Phillips. At the end of the meeting with county commissioners, Phillips said spectators should keep their distance from any ICE operations that may happen in the future and warned that confronting ICE agents could be “perilous.” The Astorian reached out to Phillips on Thursday, and asked if he thought there would be increased ICE activity in Clatsop County. “My best guess … They’ve brought in (ICE) agents from around the country,” said Phillips. “They’re focusing on Oregon for a period of time, and then they’re going to go focus on another state.”
