Show Notes: Bonus Episode

The Apology and The Machine on My Doorstep

Before diving into the audio track, I need to apologize for missing the regular episode today. The reality of documenting racial terror and state overreach arrived directly at my property line. While trying to have a civil conversation with an out of place ATV rider, I was met with dog whistles, a refusal to answer basic questions, and immediate threats about this being a “2nd Amendment state.” When I called the police, the dispatch call was completely omitted from Broadcastify. A single deputy arrived without a partner or a body camera.

Instead of resolving the issue, the ATV rider, who claimed to have permission from the landlord whose cohorts have previously threatened my household, picked up the phone to call ICE. This is exactly why Eyes on ICE exists.

When you push back, the machine tries to grind you down. I spent today fortifying, protecting, and filing FOIA requests for the 911 telecom logs to prove that call happened. To all 40,000 of you, thank you for the incredible support. We will not break, we will resist, refuse, and rise.

⚠ A NOTE FROM THE HOST: The Apology & The Machine on My Doorstep

Before diving into today’s audio track, I owe you an apology for missing the regular episode. The reality of documenting racial terror and state overreach arrived — literally — at my property line today.

While attempting to have a civil conversation with an out-of-place ATV rider, I was met with dog whistles, a flat refusal to answer basic questions, and an immediate threat that this is a “2nd Amendment state.”

When I called the police, the dispatch call was completely omitted from Broadcastify — the real-time scanner feed that keeps communities informed. A single deputy arrived, without a partner and without a body camera.

Rather than resolving the situation, the ATV rider — who claimed to have permission from the landlord whose cohorts have previously threatened my household — picked up the phone and called ICE.

This is exactly why Eyes on ICE exists. When you push back, the machine tries to grind you down.

I spent today fortifying, protecting, and filing FOIA requests for the 911 telecom logs to prove that call happened. Every single step of this encounter will be documented and made available to the public. Nothing will be buried.

To all 40,000 of you — thank you for the incredible support. We will not break. We will resist, refuse, and rise.

EPISODE OVERVIEW

Eyes on Intel returns with a deeply sourced, emotionally grounded episode tracing the unbroken line between historical state repression and today’s federal crackdown on dissent and immigrant communities. The host opens by grounding listeners in the long arc of government surveillance, infiltration, and assassination of Black civil rights leaders — then pivots to three high-profile, underreported cases of ICE-related use-of-force incidents resulting in death. The episode then examines a South Carolina agitator running a personal harassment campaign under the cover of activism. The show closes with urgent calls to action, solidarity, and community protection.

SEGMENT 1: THE HISTORICAL MACHINE — Pattern Recognition

The episode connects present-day federal enforcement to a documented historical pattern of state violence against Black and dissenting voices. This is not hyperbole — it is a paper trail.

Key Historical Cases Referenced

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

The FBI sent Dr. King an anonymous letter explicitly urging him to take his own life.
Hotel rooms were surveilled and taped. His reputation was systematically smeared in the press.

Malcolm X

Federal surveillance and targeting of Malcolm X continued until his assassination in 1965.
Informants, infiltrators, and sustained pressure campaigns followed him relentlessly.

The Black Panther Party & Huey P. Newton

COINTELPRO systematically dismantled the Black Panthers through surveillance, planted evidence, and coordinated raids.
Huey P. Newton was gunned down in the streets in 1989 — a reminder the machine operates on long timelines.
Further reading — COINTELPRO overview (FBI.gov)

Ruby Ridge (1992)

Randy Weaver was entrapped by an FBI informant on a manufactured gun charge.
His 14-year-old son Sammy was shot in the back by federal agents.
His wife Vicki was murdered in her own doorway holding their infant child. The family dog was also killed.
The standoff lasted 11 days — military-grade force deployed against a remote family cabin.

‘Fed Posting’ — Modern Entrapment

Federal agents and informants actively target vulnerable, isolated individuals online — build rapport, fund operations, construct the plot, then arrest the subject.
The subjects — who often needed mental health care, not handcuffs — are paraded before cameras as foiled terrorists.

SEGMENT 2: NAMES THEY ARE TRYING TO ERASE — The ICE Killings

Three documented, named cases of individuals killed by federal immigration and border enforcement agents. Watchdog group American Oversight has verified a 400% spike in ICE use-of-force incidents.

American Oversight ICE Use-of-Force Records: americanoversight.org/investigations

Alex Pretti — Minneapolis, Minnesota

VA Intensive Care Nurse — spent his career keeping people alive.
One week before his death: kicked out the taillight of an ICE vehicle. A property damage charge could have handled this. It was used as a pretext instead.
Pretti stepped in to help a woman knocked to the ground during enforcement activity.
Agent Jesus Ochoa and Officer Raymundo Gutierrez deployed pepper spray, forced him to the ground, disarmed his legally owned firearm, and fired ten shots into him. Alex Pretti died at the scene.
No charges have been filed against the agents involved.
The Trump administration is actively blocking the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) from accessing key evidence — a state murder investigation stonewalled by the federal government.
Live Enforcement Tracking — MN: Bring Me The News
MPR News — Alex Pretti Coverage: mprnews.org

Marimar Martinez — Chicago, Illinois

Already on a federal watch list for community advocacy before the encounter.
Border Patrol Agent Charles Exum shot her five times. She was left bleeding in her car. No body camera was activated.
Text messages show Exum boasting about the shooting to colleagues.
Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino sent an email praising Exum’s “excellent service.”
DHS labeled Martinez a domestic terrorist and filed a felony charge — later dismissed with prejudice by the judge when evidence emerged.

Ruben Ray Martinez — South Padre Island, Texas

23-year-old U.S. citizen, fatally shot by a federal immigration agent in March 2025. The case was suppressed for months before resurfacing.
DHS claims he intentionally struck an agent during a traffic stop. Watchdog groups dispute the official narrative.
American Oversight flagged this as part of the documented 400% use-of-force spike.
Reuters Coverage: reuters.com
New York Times Coverage: nytimes.com
MPR News Coverage: mprnews.org

“These are not random tragedies. Let’s stop using that word. These are hits. This is a coordinated, systemic purge of dissent.”

SEGMENT 3: THE LOCAL MACHINE — Corey Allen Whittington

How state-adjacent harassment operates at the community level — through individuals who weaponize the language of activism while running personal vendettas.

Subject: Corey Allen Whittington — Summerville, South Carolina

Engaged in a documented harassment campaign against business owner Dinah Chollett and The Knot Burger Pub since 2020. Screenshots, verified timelines, and paper trail are in show possession.
Recently appeared on the Deprogrammed podcast and released a damage-control video.
Watch: Palmetto Talk Live — Whittington’s own words: Search Palmetto Talk Live on YouTube
Documented conduct includes meme-ing Chollett’s company name onto damaging imagery to destroy her livelihood. This is on public record — not speculation.

The Student Protest Incident

Whittington publicly claimed he was in fear for his life from an 80-person student chat group.
Video shows him following a group of young, mostly Black protesters — peacefully demonstrating against ICE enforcement — down the street.

“This is exactly how the machine operates at the local level — through people who claim to be on the right side of history, but use chaos to weaponize their own personal vendettas.”

SEGMENT 4: BREAKING & UNDERREPORTED

Arizona: Attempted Arson at ICE Warehouse — Surprise, AZ

Attempted arson at a warehouse ICE purchased to convert into a 1,500-bed detention facility, days after massive community protests.
FBI is investigating. Coverage almost entirely limited to local Arizona outlets.

Minnesota: Operation Metro Surge — Raids Continue

Active enforcement raids continue across Minnesota even as the BCA is blocked from the Pretti murder investigation.
Live Tracking: Bring Me The News
Zero charges. Zero accountability. The system is designed to protect them.

Congressional Hearing: Pam Bondi and the Secret List

A representative asked AG Pam Bondi point-blank whether there is a secret list of American citizens labeled as domestic terrorists. She refused to answer. She did not deny it.

KEY THEMES

The Machine Changes Camouflage, Not Character

COINTELPRO to ‘fed posting.’ Ruby Ridge to Operation Metro Surge. A single unbroken thread: state weaponizes fear, manufactures threats, eliminates those who watch the watchers.

Documentation as Defense

Every claim in this episode is grounded in public records, court documents, video evidence, and independently verifiable timelines. File FOIAs. Keep receipts. Protect the record.

The Smear as Standard Operating Procedure

In each case — Pretti, Martinez, Martinez — the killing was immediately followed by an attempt to criminalize the victim. This is the pattern. It is not coincidence.

Solidarity Is Not Optional — It Is Survival

Black, Brown, white, immigrant, citizen — the machine divides and conquers. Refusing that division is the only effective resistance.
