“It turns out that Both Floyd, and the police officer who allegedly killed him by choking off his air supply, one Derek Chauvin, already knew each other. In fact, the two had been co-workers, with both working security at that same club, a Latin dance club named the El Neuveo Rodeo club in Minneapolis. And this makes sense: Chavin had his police experience and Floyd was a big guy, clocking in at some six feet, six inches tall, so both fit the job description. Clubs need security, and so they were bound to have known and interacted with each other during their years working there. But that’s a heckuva coincidence, wouldn’t you say?
So Anons started digging on this club connection, and it turns out that the club is owned by a Somali-owned company called Omar Investments Incorporated. Now remember, Minneapolis has a huge Muslim population, and in particular, the largest Somali population in the US, most of whom arrived there following the Somali civil war in the 90’s, and because of both these factors, the area has a huge issue with terror recruitment. A number of Isis fighters have actually been born here, on US soil in Minneapolis, and then been recruited by the terrorist organization as fighters. So to combat this, there is a huge national security presence in that region; the largest in the United states, in fact.
Anyway, to get directly to the point and not belabor things, Anons began to suspect that club itself might be connected with some of these same intelligence operations.
The primary connection came from the owner, one Muna Sabri. In 2001, it turns out a close relative of Muna, one Basim Sabri, a real estate mogul in Minneapolis, was caught by the FBI trying to bribe Minneapolis Councilman Brian Herron, to help assist with the development of a hotel on Lake Street and Second Avenue.
The Latin Dance club that Floyd worked for? Located on East Lake Street.
Sabri would be tried and convicted on three counts of bribery, fined 75,000 dollars, and would serve 17 months in a federal prison.
And an eagle-eyed Anon would note that this would be the exact time Officer Chauvin would begin working at the El Nuevo Rodeo.
It stands to reason that this Somali-owned Omar group, which has owned the club since 1996, was potentially involved in some shady operations for some time. Bribery usually just doesn’t happen out of the blue, and when you’re involved in real estate and commercial properties, you’re dealing with a defacto monopoly on land when it comes to local governments.
So yes, from time to time, you will hear about back room dealings such as this incident with Sabri trying to bribe the councilman for favorable zoning approval or whatever.
But what if this club was being used as a front for these kinds of back room and criminal dealings? After all, we’ve seen this kind of thing before. Think Carlos Marcello and The Beverly.
So what if the club was in some way involved with money laundering and counterfeiting?
Well, on December 14th, 2019 – so really just a few months ago, before all this Corona-madness started, Customs and Border Protection seized a shipment of some $900,000 dollars in counterfeit bills, from a rail shipment originating from… China.
In this case, it was 45 cartons of one dollar bills – two short shipping pallets’ worth – which is in itself quite unusual. Small denominations aren’t usually the target of counterfeiters – though the one dollar bill certainly is the most insecure in terms of anti-counterfeit printing techniques, and thus, the easiest to manufacture. Usually, you hear about fake fifty and hundred dollar bills. But for one dollar bills like this, you can imagine they’re going to someone who has a need for lots of singles… perhaps a business dealing with a lot of cash, or wanting to get a lot of counterfeit cash into circulation, quickly.
What if it was cash for bribes? Cash that would avoid raising suspicions, like bigger denominations normally would?
Or perhaps it was going to someone with ties to financing terrorist organizations?
Could a club potentially be used to front for any of these activities? Well of course. And to be clear, that’s not proof of anything, but it is circumstantial and it does raise an eyebrow and warrant further digging.
So let’s track this a bit and see what we can infer from this intercepted shipment of counterfeit singles:
I was able to track down a map from The Department of Transportation which shows all the freight lines in and through Minnesota, so reading that map shows that this particular shipment came through Canada, on the Canadian National railway.
Given that we know the shipment originated in China, this means it probably went through the port in Vancouver.
If the shipment had gone undetected, it would have done one of two things: it would have either continued going south-east and stayed on the Canadian National railway, and gone through Wisconsin before giving it the opportunity to turn back West towards Minneapolis at Ladysmith, or it could have been transferred to the BNSF line, and made a direct bee-line towards Minneapolis.
Either way, it’s likely the shipment was intended for Minneapolis.
Now recall the incident that precipitated Floyd’s death and what caused his run-in with the police to begin with:
He was trying to use a counterfeit twenty at a deli to pay his bill.
Why was Floyd using a counterfeit 20?
Well, we can speculate. Either Floyd is entirely innocent and just happened to have been passed a counterfeit 20… or, potentially, there was something shady going on at the club and Floyd had helped himself to some extra counterfeit cash on the side, saving it for a rainy day.
And with the advent of Corona, everyone – including Floyd – was out of work. Clubs like his were shut down, so it was that proverbial rainy day. But Floyd got caught with this bill, and then the police were called…
Where it just so happened that Officer Chauvin worked. So Chauvin just so happens to get a call about a 6 foot 6 black man passing off counterfeit bills. And having worked for the club for 17 years – up to 6 of which had been with Floyd – do you really think his appearance on the scene was random?
Is it possible that Chauvin was working at the club for so long as some kind of asset? Is it possible that the Minneapolis police were in on what was potentially happening at this club the whole time, and were in on the counterfeiting?
That implies a staggering level of corruption, but again, we’ve seen that kind of thing before – corrupt police forces working with three letter agencies and local businesses with criminal ties. In these kinds of relationships, everyone’s wheels get greased. Hiring cops keeps good cops off the scent of the trail. Laundering money helps smooth things over with corrupt local politicians. If the FBI is involved, this helps them maintain surveillance on communities where terror recruiting is common. This kind of stuff is old-hat for “conspiracy” buffs, so if any of this were to turn out to be true, I’m sure few listening to this would be surprised.
So did Floyd using counterfeit bills out in the open like that jeopardize the whole operation?
Was Chauvin brought in to contain the situation before it got out of hand?
Again, the two knew each other, but the odd thing was, you wouldn’t know that from the video. They had worked with each other at the club for years.
Was Floyd trying to avoid being “disappeared” by corrupt police officers working in tandem with a criminal enterprise, only for things to go disastrously wrong for Chauvin and the whole operation?....”
