This isn't just conspiracy — it's game theory, behavioral filtering, and economic soft kill tech. Here's the surgical breakdown:

💸🧠⚔️ Fiat Wargames: A System to Filter the Warrior Class

🎯 1. Objective of the System

> Keep the dumb obedient, the smart confused, the violent pacified, and the truly dangerous... dead or self-destructed.

The most dangerous demographic to fiat empire is the high-IQ, low-conformity, physically capable male — the warrior-philosopher archetype.

This archetype:

Questions authority

Builds systems

Can fight back — and win

So the game isn’t to fight them... it’s to outsource their self-destruction.

---

🧩 2. The 3-Part Culling Mechanism

🪤 a) Bait with Fake Agency

Offer “service to country” via military or special ops.

Turn the most competent violent men into state assets, using loyalty, nationalism, and honor.

Once they serve — trauma, PTSD, moral injury, and betrayal.

Their loyalty is turned against their reason. The result: burnout, suicide, alienation.

> You don’t fight them. You decorate them, then discard them.

---

🎭 b) Channel Into Controlled Violence

Let the violent-but-smart ones become cops, prison guards, corporate enforcers, or private contractors.

Give them a sense of power, a gun, a badge — but keep them tied to a paycheck and policy doc.

The system baits their aggression but keeps it domesticated.

> They never rebel — they spend energy enforcing someone else’s empire.

---

☣️ c) Psy-Op the Rest Into Self-Destruction

Use debt, drugs, porn, fast food, alcohol, dopamine loops to simulate the reward circuitry of violence and sex.

Bombard them with entertainment and war simulators. Keep them on Call of Duty not calling the real duty.

If they reject the matrix, push them into extremism or crime — so they’re labeled and isolated.

> Give them a digital colosseum. Let them bleed out in pixels, not real change.

---

🏦 3. The Fiat Incentive Matrix

In fiat systems, value is assigned, not earned. So:

Trait Rewarded If... Destroyed If...

Intelligence Compliant (STEM, finance) Noncompliant (dissident, system critic)

Violence Institutionalized (military, police) Independent (vigilante, resistance)

Creativity Monetized (ads, IP, entertainment) Radicalized (open source, anti-establishment)

The system gives carrots for compliance, and exhaust valves for rebellion.

---

🎮 4. Simulation Layer (AI-Fiat Feedback Loop)

Now with AI, the filtering is automated:

Predictive policing, risk scoring, behavior analysis

Social media traps for algorithmically locating and profiling high-agency individuals

Financial surveillance to shut off dissidents (debanking)

The game has upgraded: now you’re the NPC unless you exit the fiat simulation completely.

---

🪙 5. Bitcoin Is the Exfil Route

Bitcoin is the only protocol that:

Doesn’t care who you are

Can’t be co-opted by fiat rules

Rewards proof of work, not proof of obedience

It’s the exit ramp for intelligent violence — not to destroy, but to build a parallel sovereign layer.

---

🧠 TL;DR

> Fiat Wargames are the pacification program for high-agency warrior minds.

Don’t fight the machine — it feeds on that.

Exit. Build. Hold your key.

Become untouchable.

> Proof of Work is the new Rite of Passage.

There's a new political trend sweeping New York City, and it's as cynical as it is surreal. For over a decade, we've seen a parade of political campaigns proudly brandishing their tokenized Jewish support: "Jews for Jamaal," "Jews for Rashida," "Jews for Shahana."

Now, we're treated to the latest iteration: "https://www.instagram.com/jewsforzohran/?hl=en

."

?itok=TpGBnoS2

The irony? None of these candidates are Jewish. All of them, however, are staunchly anti-Israel. And the newest addition to this cast of characters has a direct tie to one of the world's most prolific spreaders of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) propaganda.

A https://nypost.com/2025/07/12/us-news/jews-for-zohran-mamdani-group-tied-to-niece-of-lefty-china-based-billionaire/

revealed this week that the "Jews for Zohran" campaign is spearheaded by Alicia Singham Goodwin, a prominent Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) organizer and, notably, the niece of Neville Roy Singham. Yes, that Neville Roy Singham—the shadowy billionaire with deep ties to the CCP who has spent hundreds of millions bankrolling anti-American, anti-Israel, and pro-CCP activism across the globe.

?itok=E2SdENxF

So let me get this straight. The head of "Jews for Zohran" is the niece of Chinese govt allied billionaire Neville Roy Singham. Her mother is not Jewish but rather Sri Lankan/Chinese. The gaslighting they're doing to whitewash Zohran Mamdani's antisemitism is really next level. https://t.co/YslZIIaj0m

For those who need a refresher: 2017 was a pivotal year for Neville Roy Singham. First, the U.S.-born tech mogul https://www.apax.com/news-views/funds-advised-by-apax-partners-to-acquire-thoughtworks-inc/

. Next, he married CODEPINK co-founder Jodie Evans, cementing a personal and political alliance that would bankroll global leftist activism. Finally, Singham relocated to Shanghai, where he began operating hand-in-glove with CCP's propaganda apparatus.

The New York Times https://archive.ph/pVfm0%23selection-4369.16-4369.61

in August 2023, exposing how his vast web of nonprofits and media outlets has since been weaponized to funnel CCP talking points into American political discourse. From their Shanghai base, Singham and Evans became the Bonnie and Clyde of the progressive activist world—directing over $160 million into Evans' "People's Support Foundation" and another $98.8 million into a constellation of anti-Israel, anti-ICE, and anti-American protest groups.

They are the same groups that led Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna and the House Oversight Committee into https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Letter-to-Neville-Singham-06132025-1.pdf

after learning that his organizations played a leading role in anti-ICE riots across California—riots that left over $20 million in damages, torched police vehicles, and racked up more than 650 arrests.

Singham, unsurprisingly, has not responded.

Neville Singham— the billionaire communist with ties to the CCP, who funded the LA riots and used immigration & Mexicans as a Trojan horse for communism— is hiding from our letter requesting testimony. This poses an issue for delivering subpoena.

Therefore, if he decides to… https://t.co/sZtVzfEA9Q

In India, his media arm https://x.com/ANI/status/1709168565176418363?ref_src=twsrc%255Etfw%257Ctwcamp%255Etweetembed%257Ctwterm%255E1709168565176418363%257Ctwgr%255E7a35cb176a2ed450f487d47b932428fa9af428e5%257Ctwcon%255Es1_&ref_url=https://www.livemint.com/news/india/newsclick-raids-500-cops-25-questions-100-locations-all-you-need-to-know-about-delhi-police-crackdown-11696330256482.html

by establishing "partisan popular media centres" and offering community services to radicalize Indian Muslims.

Witnesses testified that Newsclick staff were ordered to incite violence during protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), distribute Chinese-funded cash to demonstrators, and even https://www.opindia.com/2024/05/newsclick-received-funds-from-china-to-provoke-violence-in-india-routed-funds-to-teesta-setalvad/%23google_vignette

The result? The 2020 Delhi riots, which left 53 dead, over 200 injured, and entire neighborhoods reduced to ash.

Singham also never responded to India's legal summons.

Now, Singham's niece is helping to run Zohran Mamdani's mayoral campaign.

?itok=0mPp_QZh

Singham's network operates like a political virus, infecting vulnerable democracies, seeding chaos, and eroding support for America and its allies from within. It has successfully embedded itself in grassroots movements, NGOs, and now electoral campaigns.

The nexus of Neville Roy Singham's global operation and New York's Democratic machine is no laughing matter. The same tactics that fueled violence in Delhi and sowed unrest in California are now knocking on Gracie Mansion's door.

Everyone's Afraid to Speak

Someone our family has known forever recently told my sister that they've been reading my Substack and that if they wrote the things I write, people would call them crazy. I got a kick out of that—not because it's untrue, but because it reveals something darker about where we've ended up as a society. Most people are terrified of being themselves in public.

?itok=fB4J8J8w

My sister’s response made me laugh: "People do call him crazy. He simply doesn't care.” The funniest part is that I don't even write the craziest stuff I research—just the stuff I can back up with sources and/or my own personal observations. I always try to stay rooted in logic, reason and facts though—I'm clear when I'm speculating and when I'm not.

This same guy has sent me dozens of private messages over the last 4 or 5 years challenging me on stuff I share online. I'll respond with source material or common sense, and then—crickets. He disappears. If I say something he doesn’t want to hear, he vanishes like a child covering his ears. Over the last few years, I’ve been proven right about most of what we’ve argued about, and he’s been wrong. But it doesn’t matter—he’s got the memory of a gnat and the pattern never changes.

But he'd never make that challenge publicly, never risk being seen engaging with my arguments where others might witness the conversation. This kind of private curiosity paired with public silence is everywhere—people will engage with dangerous ideas in private but never risk being associated with them publicly. It's part of that reflexive "https://stylman.substack.com/p/that-cant-be-true

" mindset that shuts down inquiry before it can even begin.

But he's not alone. We've created a culture where wrongthink is policed so aggressively that even successful, powerful people whisper their doubts like they're confessing crimes.

I was on a hike last year with a very prominent tech VC. He was telling me about his son's football team—how their practices kept getting disrupted because their usual field on Randall's Island was now being used to house migrants. He leaned in, almost whispering: "You know, I'm a liberal, but maybe the people complaining about immigration have a point." Here's a guy who invests mountains of money into companies that shape the world we live in, and he's afraid to voice a mild concern about policy in broad daylight. Afraid of his own thoughts.

After I https://x.com/jstylman/status/1490056217661779973

, a coworker told me he totally agreed with my position—but he was angry that I'd said it. When the company didn't want to take a stand, I told them I would speak as an individual—on my own time, as a private citizen. He was pissed anyway. In fact, he was scolding me about the repercussions to the company. What's maddening is that this same person had enthusiastically supported the business taking public stands on other, more politically fashionable causes over the years. Apparently, using your corporate voice was noble when it was fashionable. Speaking as a private citizen became dangerous when it wasn’t.

Another person told me they agreed with me but wished they were "more successful like me" so they could afford to speak out. They had "too much to lose." The preposterousness of this is staggering. Everyone who spoke out during COVID sacrificed—financially, reputationally, socially. I sacrificed plenty myself.

But I'm no victim. Far from it. Since I was a young man, I've never measured achievement by finance or status—my benchmark for being a so-called successful person was owning my own time. Ironically, getting myself canceled was actually a springboard to that. For the first time in my life, I felt I'd achieved time ownership. Whatever I’ve achieved came from being raised by loving parents, working hard, and having the spine to follow convictions rationally. Those attributes, coupled with some great fortune, are the reason for whatever success I've had—they're not the reason I can speak now. Maybe this person should do some inward searching about why they're not more established. Maybe it's not about status at all. Maybe it's about integrity.

This is the adult world we've built—one where courage is so rare that people mistake it for privilege, where speaking your mind is seen as a luxury only the privileged can afford, rather than a fundamental requirement for actually becoming established.

And this is the world we're handing to our children.

We Built the Surveillance State for Them

I remember twenty years ago, my best friend's wife (who's also a dear friend) was about to hire someone when she decided to check the candidate's Facebook first. The woman had posted: “Meeting the whores at [company name]”—referring to my friend and her coworkers. My friend immediately withdrew the offer. I remember thinking this was absolutely terrible judgment on the candidate's part, however it was dangerous territory we were entering: the notion of living completely in public, where every casual comment becomes permanent evidence.

Now that danger has metastasized into something unrecognizable. We've created a world where every stupid thing a fifteen-year-old says gets archived forever. Not just on their own phones, but screenshot and saved by peers who don't understand they're building permanent files on each other—even on platforms like Snapchat that promise everything disappears. We've eliminated the possibility of a private adolescence—and adolescence is supposed to be private, messy, experimental. It's the laboratory where you figure out who you are by trying on terrible ideas and throwing them away.

But laboratories require the freedom to fail safely. What we've built instead is a system where every failed experiment becomes evidence in some future trial.

Think about the dumbest thing you believed at sixteen. The most embarrassing thing you said at thirteen. Now imagine that moment preserved in high definition, timestamped, and searchable. Imagine it surfacing when you're thirty-five and running for school board, or just trying to move past who you used to be.

If there was a record of everything I did when I was sixteen, I would have been unemployable. Come to think of it, I'm way older than that now and I'm unemployable anyway—but the truth still stands. My generation might have been the last to fully enjoy an analog existence as children. We got to be stupid privately, to experiment with ideas without permanent consequences, to grow up without every mistake being archived for future use against us.

?itok=7RgKEZKH

I remember teachers threatening us with our "permanent record." We laughed—some mysterious file that would follow us forever? Turns out they were just early. Now we've built those records and handed the recording devices to children. Companies like Palantir have https://stylman.substack.com/p/the-invisible-leash

.

We're asking children to have adult judgment about consequences they can't possibly understand. A thirteen-year-old posting something stupid isn't thinking about college applications or future careers. They're thinking about right now, today, this moment—which is exactly how thirteen-year-olds are supposed to think. But we've built systems that treat childhood immaturity as a prosecutable offense.

The psychological toll is staggering. Imagine being fourteen and knowing that anything you say might be used against you by people you haven't met yet, for reasons you can't anticipate, at some unknown point in the future. That's not adolescence—that's a police state built out of smartphones and social media.

The result is a generation that's either paralyzed by self-consciousness or completely reckless because they figure they're already screwed. Some retreat into careful blandness, crafting personas so sanitized they might as well be corporate spokespeople for their own lives. Others go scorched earth—if everything's recorded anyway, why hold back? As https://stylman.substack.com/p/the-pattern-recognition-era-a-manifesto

likes to say, there's Andrew Tate and then there's a bunch of incels—meaning the young men either become performatively brash and ridiculous, or they retreat entirely. The young women seem to either drift toward fearful conformity or embrace monetized exposure on platforms like OnlyFans. We’ve managed to channel an entire generation’s rebellion into the very systems designed to exploit them.

The COVID Conformity Test

This is how totalitarian thinking takes root—not through jackbooted thugs, but through a million small acts of self-censorship. When a venture capitalist whispers his concerns about immigration policy like he's confessing to a thought crime. When successful professionals agree with dissenting views privately but would never defend them publicly. When speaking obvious truths becomes an act of courage rather than basic citizenship.

Orwell understood this perfectly. In 1984, the Party's greatest achievement wasn't forcing people to say things they didn't believe—it was making them afraid to believe things they weren't supposed to say. "The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake," O'Brien explains to Winston. "We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power." But the real genius was making citizens complicit in their own oppression, turning everyone into both prisoner and guard.

History shows us how this works in practice. The Stasi in East Germany didn't just rely on secret police—they turned ordinary citizens into informants. By some estimates, one in seven East Germans was reporting on their neighbors, friends, even family members. The state didn't need to watch everyone; they got people to watch each other. But the Stasi had limitations: they could recruit informants, but they couldn't monitor everyone simultaneously, and they couldn't instantly broadcast transgressions to entire communities for real-time judgment.

Social media solved both problems. Now we have total surveillance capability—every comment, photo, like, and share automatically recorded and searchable. We have instant mass distribution—one screenshot reaching thousands in minutes. We have volunteer enforcement—people eagerly participating in calling out "wrongthink" because it feels righteous. And we have permanent records—unlike Stasi files locked in archives, digital mistakes follow you forever.

The psychological impact is exponentially worse because Stasi informants at least had to make a conscious choice to report someone. Now the reporting happens automatically—the infrastructure is always listening, always recording, always ready to be weaponized by anyone with a grudge or a cause.

We saw this machinery in full operation during COVID. Remember how quickly "two weeks to flatten the curve" became orthodoxy? How questioning lockdowns, mask mandates, or vaccine efficacy wasn't just wrong—it was dangerous? How saying "maybe we should consider the trade-offs of closing schools" could get you labeled a grandma-killer? The speed at which dissent became heresy was breathtaking.

History has shown us governments can be terrible to citizens. The hardest pill to swallow was the horizontal policing. Your neighbors, coworkers, friends, and family members became the enforcement mechanism. People didn't just comply; they competed—virtue-signaling their way into a collective delusion where asking basic questions about cost-benefit analysis became evidence of moral deficiency. Neighbors called police on neighbors for having too many people over. People photographed "violations" and posted them online for mass judgment.

And the most insidious part? The people doing the policing genuinely believed they were the good guys. They thought they were protecting society from dangerous misinformation, not realizing they had become the misinformation—that they were actively suppressing the kind of open inquiry that's supposed to be the foundation of both science and democracy.

The Ministry of Truth didn't need to rewrite history in real time. Facebook and Twitter did it for them, memory-holing inconvenient posts and banning users who dared to share pre-approved scientific studies that happened to reach unapproved conclusions. The Party didn't need to control the past—they just needed to control what you were allowed to remember about it.

This wasn't an accident or an overreaction. This was a stress test of how quickly a free society could be transformed into something unrecognizable, and we failed spectacularly. Anyone who actually followed the science understood the only pandemic was one of cowardice. Worse, most people didn't even notice we were being tested. They thought they were just "following the science"—never mind that the data kept changing to match the politics, or that questioning anything had somehow become heretical.

The beautiful thing about this system is that it's self-sustaining. Once you've participated in the mob mentality, once you've policed your neighbors and canceled your friends and stayed silent when you should have spoken up, you become invested in maintaining the fiction that you were right all along. Admitting you were wrong isn't just embarrassing—it's an admission that you participated in something monstrous. So instead, you double down. You disappear when confronted with inconvenient facts.

Raising Prisoners

And this brings us back to the children. They're watching all of this. But more than that—they're growing up inside this surveillance infrastructure from birth. The Stasi's victims at least had some years of normal psychological development before the surveillance state kicked in. These kids never get that. They're born into a world where every thought might be public, every mistake permanent, every unpopular opinion potentially life-destroying.

The psychological impact is devastating. Research shows that children who grow up under constant surveillance—even well-meaning parental surveillance—show higher rates of anxiety, depression, and what psychologists call https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3330159/

They never develop internal locus of control because they never get to make real choices with real consequences. But this goes far deeper than helicopter parenting.

The ability to hold unpopular opinions, to think through problems independently, to risk being wrong—these aren't just nice-to-haves. They're core to psychological maturity. When you eliminate those possibilities, you don't just get more compliant people; you get people who literally can't think for themselves anymore. They outsource their judgment to the crowd because they never developed their own.

We're creating a generation of psychological cripples—people who are practiced at reading social cues and adjusting their thoughts accordingly, but who have never learned to form independent judgments. People who mistake consensus for truth and popularity for virtue. People who have been so thoroughly trained to avoid wrong-think that they've either lost—or never developed—the capacity for original thought entirely.

But here's what's most disturbing: the kids are learning this behavior from us. They're watching adults who whisper their real thoughts, who agree privately but stay silent publicly, who confuse strategic silence with wisdom. They're learning that authenticity is dangerous, that having real convictions is a luxury they can't afford. They're learning that truth is negotiable, that principles are disposable, and that the most important skill in life is reading the room and adjusting your thoughts accordingly.

The feedback loop is complete: adults model cowardice, children learn that genuine expression is risky, and everyone becomes practiced at self-censorship rather than self-examination. We've created a society where the Overton window isn't just narrow—it's actively policed by people who are terrified of stepping outside it, even when they privately disagree with its boundaries.

This is the architecture of soft totalitarianism. Just the constant, gnawing fear that saying the wrong thing—or even thinking it too loudly—will result in social death. The beauty of this system is that it makes everyone complicit. Everyone has something to lose, so everyone stays quiet. Everyone remembers what happened to the last person who spoke up, so nobody wants to be next.

The technology doesn't just enable this tyranny; it makes it psychologically inevitable. When the infrastructure punishes independent thinking before it can fully form, you get psychological arrested development on a mass scale.

It’s already baked into education and employment through DEI and ESG. Wait till it's https://brownstone.org/articles/covid-to-cbdc-to-full-control/

?

We're passing this pathology down to our children like a genetic disorder. Except this disorder isn't inherited—it's enforced. And unlike genetic disorders, this one serves a purpose: it creates a population that's easy to control, easy to manipulate, easy to lead around by the nose as long as you control the social rewards and punishments.

The Price of Truth

I don't share my opinions because I "get away with it"—I don't get away with anything. I've paid socially, professionally, and even financially. But I do it anyway because the alternative is spiritual death. The alternative is becoming someone who messages critics privately but never takes a public stand, someone who's perpetually annoyed by others' courage but never exercises their own.

The difference isn't ability or privilege. It's willingness. I'm open-minded and open-hearted. I can be convinced of anything—but show me, don't tell me. I'm willing to be wrong, willing to change my mind when new information comes to light or I gain a different perspective on an idea, willing to defend ideas I believe in even when it's uncomfortable.

There are a lot of us right now realizing something isn't right—that we've been lied to about everything. We're trying to make sense of what we're seeing, asking uncomfortable questions, connecting dots that don't want to be connected. When we call that out, the last thing we need is people who haven't done the work standing in our way, carrying water for the establishment forces that are manipulating them.

Most people could do the same thing if they chose to—they just don't choose to because they've been trained to see conviction as dangerous and conformity as safe.

found that 62% of Americans say the political climate prevents them from sharing their political beliefs because others might find them offensive. Majorities of Democrats (52%), independents (59%), and Republicans (77%) all agree they have political opinions they are afraid to share.

When adults who lived through COVID saw what happens when groupthink becomes gospel—how quickly independent thought gets labeled dangerous, how thoroughly dissent gets suppressed—many responded not by becoming more committed to free expression, but by becoming more careful about what they express. They learned the wrong lesson.

What we're creating is a society where authenticity has become a radical act, where courage is so rare it looks like privilege. We're raising children who learn that being yourself is dangerous, that having real opinions carries unlimited downside risk. They're not just careful about what they say—they're careful about what they think.

This doesn't create better people. It creates more fearful people. People who mistake surveillance for safety, conformity for virtue, and silence for wisdom. People who've forgotten that the point of having thoughts is sometimes to share them, that the point of having convictions is sometimes to defend them.

The solution isn't to abandon technology or retreat into digital monasteries. But we need to create spaces—legal, social, psychological—where both kids and adults can fail safely. Where mistakes don't become permanent tattoos. Where changing your mind is seen as growth rather than hypocrisy. Where having convictions is valued over having clean records.

Most importantly, we need adults who are willing to model courage instead of strategic silence—who understand that the price of speaking up is usually less than the price of staying quiet. In a world where everyone's afraid to say what they think, the honest voice doesn't just stand out—it stands up.

Because right now, we're not just living in fear—we're teaching our children that fear is the price of participation in society. And a society built on fear isn't a society at all. It's just a more comfortable prison, one where the guards are ourselves and the keys are our own convictions, which we've learned to keep safely locked away.

Whether it's experimental medicine or the masters of war lying again to drag us into what might become World War III—it's https://stylman.substack.com/p/welcome-to-psyop-season

—it's never been more important that people find their conviction, use their voice, and become a force for good. If you're still scared to push back against war propaganda, still getting swept up in manufactured outrage cycles, still choosing your principles based on which team is in power—then you may have learned absolutely nothing from the last few years.

These days, friends are starting to confide in me that maybe I was right about the mRNA vaccines not working. I don't gloat—in fact, I appreciate the openness. But my standard reply is that they're four years late to the story. They'll know they've caught up when they realize the world is run by a bunch of satanic pedophiles. And yeah, I used to think that sounded crazy too.

The FBI is investigating after officials said a religious event in Seattle was disrupted by violence, a top FBI official said on May 27.

“We have asked our team to fully investigate allegations of targeted violence against religious groups at the Seattle concert,” Dan Bongino, the FBI’s deputy director, https://x.com/FBIDDBongino/status/1927519097757093947

on social media platform X. “Freedom of religion isn’t a suggestion.”

The office of Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell did not respond to a request for comment by publication time.

Organizers said the May 24 event was held at Cal Anderson Park in support of “the sanctity of human life, the sacrality of biological gender, the importance of the nuclear family, and the right to freedom of speech and religion.”

They said the movement organizing the event stands against indoctrination of children “by a liberal, political, and sexual agenda that seeks to destroy their God-given identities.”

Counterprotesters, including the Freedom Socialist Party, https://everout.com/seattle/events/protest-fascist-family-values/e206800/

their demonstration was meant to “keep your bibles off our bodies.”

Clashes at the event resulted in 23 arrests, the Seattle Police Department https://spdblotter.seattle.gov/2025/05/24/23-arrests-made-during-saturday-cal-anderson-protest/

. One juvenile was released. The rest of those arrested were charged with assault and obstruction.

The White House Faith Office https://x.com/Paula_White/status/1927523090898076080

in a statement on Tuesday that it condemned “the violent disruption of Seattle’s MayDay USA worship event.”

“We affirm the fundamental rights to free speech and religious freedom for all Americans, as protected by federal law. Public officials must protect the inalienable rights of all citizens, regardless of their faith or religious beliefs. We urge the City of Seattle to uphold these rights at all faith-based events, safeguarding the ability of people of faith to gather and express their beliefs without fear of harassment or violence,” the office said.

After the event, Harrell, a Democrat, https://harrell.seattle.gov/2025/05/24/mayor-harrell-statement-on-extreme-right-wing-rally-at-cal-anderson-park/

it a “far-right rally” that he said was meant “to provoke a reaction by promoting beliefs that are inherently opposed to our city’s values, in the heart of Seattle’s most prominent LGBTQ+ neighborhood.”

He said that anarchists infiltrated counterprotesters and “inspired violence,” which led to officers making arrests and asking organizers to end the event early. The request was accepted.

Organizers said in a statement to news outlets that “under Mayor Harrell’s leadership, the city of Seattle has continued its spiral into lawlessness and dysfunction while the First Amendment rights of citizens to peacefully assemble has been disregarded.”

The Seattle mayor’s office later https://harrell.seattle.gov/2025/05/27/statements-from-prominent-seattle-christian-and-faith-leaders/

statements from some faith leaders that offered support for Harrell and criticized the event organizers.

Russell Johnson, the lead pastor at Pursuit NW, https://x.com/russellbjohnson/status/1926538380130623843

on X that Harrell should apologize to Christians in the state “for his bigoted remarks after folks who were holding a peaceful worship event at Cal Anderson Park were violently assaulted for the high crime of expressing their deeply held religious beliefs in the form of a permitted worship event on city property.”
