On Saturday morning in Minneapolis, federal agents pepper sprayed a woman in the face at point blank range. Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center, stepped in to help her. Multiple agents surrounded him, beat him while he was on the ground, and shot him multiple times. He died at the hospital.
Now the Department of Homeland Security wants you to believe he was a violent threat who attacked federal officers with a loaded firearm. Secretary Kristi Noem stood before cameras and described how Pretti approached officers "menacingly with a semi-automatic handgun with dozens of rounds of ammunition." That single sentence proves she's lying.
Think about what she just said. "Dozens of rounds of ammunition." How exactly do you SEE dozens of rounds? Ammunition is inside the magazine. The magazine is inside the gun. Unless Pretti was standing there holding a firearm in one hand and a box of loose ammunition in the other like he was at a shooting range, there's no way the officers could have seen "dozens of rounds."
This blatant fabrication exposes the government's true motives. They want to paint this devout Christian man as a dangerous criminal to justify their use of lethal force. But the truth is, Pretti was simply trying to help a fellow citizen in need. For that, he paid with his life.
This chilling incident has profound biblical significance. The New Testament is clear that in the end times, the authorities will turn against followers of Christ, persecuting and even executing them. Jesus warned, "You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and some of you they will put to death" (Luke 21:16).
The savage treatment of Alex Pretti is a disturbing preview of the tribulation to come. The powers of this world are growing more hostile toward the people of God. As the return of Christ draws near, we must steel ourselves spiritually and prepare for the trials ahead. Time is short, brothers and sisters. The watchman's alarm is sounding. Heed the warning before it's too late.
"The truth doesn't hide. It waits for those brave enough to look."
