(Kim Iversen) American trans school shooter Robin (formerly Robert) Westman, 23, who is not Russian, somehow manages to write a whole "manifesto" in the Eurasian Cyrillic script and/or in the Russian language? How fake and transparent can special ops agents get with these false flag mass shootings and the make-believe history of these "shooters"? Rense.com
What's GIDEON? It's the new AI about to be launched to flag anyone who dares to criticize the state of Israel, its genocide, or anyone trying to FREE Palestine or launch a BDS movement...
Where was God as the shooter fired through stained glass windows, hitting kids and the elderly? Shock jock Tom Leykis used to have a weekly segment called something like "This Week in God" talking about how frequently church and Godly activities were the subjects of disaster, suggesting there was no such God overlooking and protecting His worshippers.
A dozen coincidences? There has been a string of intentional false alarms ("swattings") across the country reporting school shootings, reports Gary Hoffman (KFI). This started last Thursday, first at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, and then within minutes and hours another at Villanova and soon hoaxes at ten other schools: U of Arkansas; U of Colorado, Boulder; Louisianna State of Alexandria; Iowa State; Kansas State; U of New Hampshire; Northern Arizona; U of South Carolina; U of Tennessee; West Virginia U; and then Villanova got another threat.
A mass school shooting occurred during the first week of classes at a Minneapolis Catholic school, the Minnesota governor [failed Democratic candidate Tim Walz?] said. There was no immediate information on any injuries, but later it was found two children, 8 and 10, were murdered and 17 19 others (15 of them children) injured. A transsexual American, Robin, 23, then unalived herself in line with her programming. Police Chief Brian O'Hara is distraught by his department's failure in this matter.

Himanshu (@H_Singh1708) The suspected Minneapolis church shooter, Robin M. Westman, had a now-deleted YouTube channel with videos showing guns, a manifesto in Russian and English, and a church map. His content displayed extreme views, including pro-Russian, pro-trans, pro-communist, and anti-Trump, anti-Christian, anti-Semitic, and anti-Indian messages, mixing controversial topics and online memes.
There comes a time when we must honor, rejoice, and celebrate the people who came before us, who were stewards of the land and its animals. That day is now called Indigenous Peoples' Day (second Monday each October) in the U.S., or at least parts of it.
Many still cling to the biased past that held up genocidal crypto-Sephardic Jew (Spanish Converso), who was not an Italian. Not Italian? What was he then? He is buried in Spain; his grave was dug up, and his corpse was tested, showing that he was Spanish. As the discoverer of "America," though he only made it as far as the Caribbean and turned around, people are led to believe he was killing people up and down Mexico like a post-Columbian Conquistador.
"Indigenous Peoples’ Day" is celebrated on the second Monday of October, on Oct. 14th this year, to honor the cultures and histories of the many Native American peoples. The day is centered around reflecting on their tribal roots and the tragic stories that hurt but strengthened communities.
Those were the gold-seeking European missions that followed Columbus' report to Spain. He was An Inglorious Columbus:
Edward Payson Vining in 1885 documented that Buddhist Afghan and Chinese missionaries discovered the West Coast (Fusang) before Columbus. Leif Erikson was a European Viking who preceded Cristobal Columbus.
The Chinese call this fUSAng.
There is a well-founded legend of an Irish monk who made the voyage, taught the Indian tribes about governing in counties, and returned to Ireland. Fifty thousand years ago, Australian aboriginals seem to have left archeological evidence of their arrival. The truth is, ancient humans navigated the seas and knew of other cultures.
The crazy belief that everyone was separate and just doing the same sort of thing, like building pyramids for kicks, is preposterous. Cocaine did not get up the nose of an Egyptian mummy by dreaming of pyramids in the Americas. The Grand Canyon did not get ancient visitors who built an underground city and many monuments of an Egyptian, Buddhist, and Hindu sort just by happenstance. When we celebrate "Indigenous" people, we are celebrating all of the First Nations, the tribal groups up and down the Americas.
Lies My Teacher Told Me (J.W. Loewen)
There were 100 million people in what is now the USA, with plenty in neighboring Canada and Mexico, to say nothing of tribes all the way down to Argentina where humanity sort of just stops for the thing that is "Antarctica," not likely a continent but something much stranger.

Why the US Army tried to exterminate the bison
(Vox) They killed them then took credit for “saving” them. In 1894, a notorious white poacher named Ed Howell was caught in Yellowstone National Park slaughtering bison, which were on the brink of extinction.
Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz & Dina Gilio-Whitaker
US Army soldiers patrolling the park brought him into custody, and the story led to the first US federal law protecting wildlife. The soldiers were thought of as heroes for stopping the killer. But it was the US Army that had been responsible for driving bison to near extinction in the first place.
In the mid-1800s, a cultural fiction, an unfounded belief, known as “Manifest Destiny” dictated that white settlers were the rightful owners of the entire North American continent – even though Native Americans had inhabited the land for thousands of years.
In order to clear land for white settlers, the US Army engaged in violent scorched-earth tactics against the Indigenous peoples of the Great Plains. One big part of that campaign was to eliminate their crucial food source: the bison.
Not a Nation of Immigrants (R. Dunbar-Ortiz)
By the end of the 1800s, a combination of commercial and recreational hunting, plus the actions of the US Army, had depleted the bison population to under a thousand, down from tens of millions at the beginning of the century.
Around the same time, the US government set aside some of the land once inhabited by the Plains Indians as a national park, and in 1872 Yellowstone was established.
A key mission of Yellowstone was to conserve the land and the animals that roamed there, including the bison.
Today, the soldiers who once patrolled the park are celebrated for having “saved” the bison in Yellowstone, obscuring their own violent contribution to the animal’s near extinction.

Charlotte Allen (LA Times, May 17, 2009) Superstar atheists are motivated by anger -- and boohoo victimhood.
I can't stand atheists -- but it's not because they don't believe in God. It's because they're crashing bores.
Other people, most recently the British cultural critic Terry Eagleton in his new book, Faith, Reason, and Revolution, take to task such superstar nonbelievers as Oxford biologist Richard Dawkins (The God Delusion) and political journalist Christopher Hitchens (God Is Not Great) for indulging in a philosophically primitive opposition of faith and reason that assumes that if science can't prove something, it doesn't exist.
My problem with atheists is their tiresome -- and way old -- insistence that they are being oppressed and their fixation with the fine points of Christianity. What -- did their Sunday school teachers flog their behinds with a Bible when they were kids?
Read Dawkins, or Hitchens, or the works of fellow atheists Sam Harris (The End of Faith) and Daniel Dennett (Breaking the Spell), or visit an atheist website or blog (there are zillions of them, bearing such titles as "God Is for Suckers," "God Is Imaginary," and "God Is Pretend"), and your eyes will glaze over as you peruse -- again and again -- the obsessively tiny range of topics around which atheists circle like water in a drain.
First off, there's atheist victimology: Boohoo, everybody hates us 'cuz we don't believe in God. Although a recent Pew Forum survey on religion found that 16% of Americans describe themselves as religiously unaffiliated, only 1.6% call themselves atheists, with another 2.4% weighing in as agnostics (a group despised as wishy-washy by atheists).
You or I might attribute the low numbers to atheists' failure to win converts to their unbelief, but atheists say the problem is persecution so relentless that it drives tens of millions of God-deniers into a closet of feigned faith, like gays before Stonewall.
In his online "Atheist Manifesto," Harris writes that "no person, whatever his or her qualifications, can seek public office in the United States without pretending to be certain that ... God exists." The evidence? Antique clauses in the constitutions of six -- count 'em -- states barring atheists from office. More>>
