The Growing Threat of Homegrown Religious Extremism

The alleged Minnesota assassin was known as a ‘deeply religious’ Christian man. That should be an alarm bell for all of us.

Ol' Mona there apparently missed all this going on for the past 50-odd yrs. Better late than never, but never better late.

Vance Boelter and the Rise of “Spiritual Warfare”

The accused assassin in Minnesota may have seen himself as an entrepreneurial missionary, influenced by a theology of “violent prayer” and spiritual war.

“There are probably thousands of guys like this,” Taylor said on the recent podcast, who have some ministry training, who have a handful of business ideas, who maybe have fallen on hard times. “Radicalization can happen very, very fast.”

A real piece of work:

In a rambling, conspiratorial letter addressed to the FBI, alleged assassin Vance Boelter claimed Gov. Tim Walz instructed him to kill U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar so that Walz could run for the U.S. Senate, according to two people familiar with the contents of the letter.

The letter is the clearest evidence yet of Boelter’s mindset after the targeted violence against Minnesota politicians last week. It is incoherent, one and a half pages long, confusing and hard to read, according to two people familiar with the letter’s contents. It includes Boelter alleging he had been trained by the U.S. military off the books, and that Walz, who is not running for Senate, had asked him to kill Klobuchar and others.

Asked to comment about the letter, Hennepin County Attorney spokesperson Daniel Borgertpoepping said the office cannot comment on an open investigation but “due to the seriousness of the allegations it contains, we will state only that we have seen no evidence that the allegations regarding Governor Walz are based in fact.”

Trump’s Violent Cult and What to Do About It

This reporter suggests arming yourselves. Again, you don't need too many guns, but buy ammo as if it were going out of style.

P.S.: Why don't any of you fucking two-faced shits call the police on these fucking Nazis instead of squealing that I'm righteously discontented w/ the slumlord ruining my life? Huh? Why not? You chicken or something? Fuck all of you. Terror & violence are as American as apple pie. Who do you self-righteous idiots think you are to pretend otherwise?
