AltWatcher

No worries at all! Thanks for keeping an open mind, and let me know if you have questions about the account, or anything else!

Awwwww

I want to reiterate that Keith Edwards (who AltNPS didn't bother to tag, for some reason) has no connection to Pretti's family. He's some Lincoln Project dork turned YouTuber who decided to insert himself into this situation.

I would respectfully disagree, and ask that you reconsider your support of AltNPS.

The account has spent days spreading misinformation about the shooting, and as someone from Saint Paul, it's infuriating to watch them use these murders to boost their own engagement.

Who among us, etc etc

Except they did claim to know his identity, and DHS never said anything about his name or ID.

In the attached screenshots, AltNPS claims that the agent was identified, but that they won't share his name because "the truth always comes out."

Hi Blue, AltNPS has no reliable information to share about the shooting, much less the identity of the killer. They've certainly PRETENDED to know his identity, but they've provided no evidence. Please don't trust them.

Hi there, I would not recommend trusting AltNPS. They've plagiarized journalists many times, posted fake "code numbers," and as someone from Saint Paul, their treatment of the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti has been, frankly, disgusting.

Please reconsider your support for AltNPS!

The Alt National Park Service, which spent all weekend lying about Alex Pretti for attention, can shove their cute little puns up their ass.

Fuck!

I completely agree. I've been copy-pasting their long FB screeds into my notes app, and they really have that LLM stank.

I haven't had the chance to write about these yet, but their posts about the details of ICE/police procedure sound EXACTLY like a ChatGPT summary.

Also, just for transparency: yes, there's a Ko-Fi link at the end of the linked article. So far, it's made me a grand total of $35, $30 of which was from my mom (thanks mom).

If you're a new follower and thinking of paying me, please don't. Give to the MN charity of your choice instead.

I actually tried to transition to Ghost a few months ago lol, don't remember why I stopped. Maybe the price? IDK.

Either way, slowly working on switching to something else. Preferably something cheap!

3. But this is the most important thing: in the end, AltNPS is nothing. They're just a scammer.

What matters is the people on the ground, and right now, they need all the help we can give.

Please share (verified!) links to local MN aid orgs, and donate if you're able. Everything helps.

2. If you're going to engage with anyone who follows AltNPS, please, please be KIND.

The vast majority of their followers are just normal people looking for hope, and who are being conned by a very skilled grifter. Give them some grace, and some respect.

The Alt National Park Service Can't Stop Posting ICE Raid Fanfiction To AltNPS, real-world brutality is just fuel for the Content Machine.

Hi everyone, there are a lot of new faces here, and it's been a helluva day. I just want to ask a couple things:

1. Whether it's through my work, @adenng.com's, or anyone else's, please spread the word about AltNPS's behavior.

You can find me here, or (unfortunately) still on Substack:

It's infuriating. AltNPS is being irresponsible in ways that we absolutely can't afford right now.

How are you and yours doing? My MN family is safe, but scared.

I sure do!

Money!

Well, I'm not an #altgov account, I'm just an outside observer with a catchy username. So it's less infighting, and more accountability.

AltNPS is scamming their followers, and I just want to help people see that.

Hey John, the linked video is a great overview of the issues with AltNPS, but you can take a scroll through my account for more info.

Long story short, AltNPS is an account that pretends to be a coalition of resistance operatives, while stealing from journalists and posting fake "codes."

I think it's six of one, half dozen of the other. They're definitely high on their own supply.

Sorry lol, I realize I'm doing psychic damage to the public every time I share an AltNPS screenshot

Alt National Park Service on Facebook: Here’s what we know: the murderer worked for U.S. Border Patrol, has been with them for eight years, had training as a Range Safety Officer, and was moved out of Minneapolis last night and is now in hiding. The video we are attaching here is extremely helpful. Anyone have any other details? The truth always comes out.

On Facebook, AltNPS is encouraging their followers to baselessly speculate about Alex Pretti's killer.

They say "we know" these details about the killer, but they conveniently don't mention that those details were SHARED BY GREG BOVINO. It's not insider knowledge.

Thank-thank for the wise-smart words!

That's what my whole account is about!

I made sure to screenshot it lol

Don't worry, I did!

I think I'd disagree, actually; if anything, AltNPS seems apolitical, and are mostly devoted to the pursuit of clicks at all cost. I don't see evidence that they're an op, just that they're a grifter.
