The blockade and ‘infection party’ financed by Betsy DeVos (Blackwater?) and the ‘Michigan Freedom Party which she runs as Secretary of Education for Trump.  Additional “dark money” protest funders were extremist Adolf Coors, Koch Industries (Big Coal and BIG Toilet Paper..you just can’t make this up), Donors Capital Fund and Donors Trust

A note on Erik. VT’s Mark Siljander, a one time Michigan Congresssman until jailed by Bush 43, appointed Prince (Prinz) to Annapolis, where it is claimed he graduated.  He washed out freshman year and was sent to Hillsdale College, a small Michigan school where mom and dad could look out for him.
