The War On Reality is Over

After the school shooting in Minneapolis on Wednesday, the NYT had a big headline, “Minneapolis shooter knew her target, but motive remains a mystery”, and right under the big print was smaller print that said “the shooter who attacked a catholic school on Wednesday posted social media videos and writings that betrayed a litany of grievances and obsessions.”  The liberal media is so confused about HOW to report this story that their own headline solves the “mystery” that the same headline had identified as a mystery.

This whole story doesn’t meet their narrative so confusion abounds!  They want the shooter to be an angry white man, but he changed his sex to a girl so now they have to say “she/her” to stay true to their gender agenda.  They want the shooter to be a crazed MAGA supporter but he had “murder Donald Trump” written on one of his gun clips along with other liberal anger points.  And in one writing the shooter said he regretted brainwashing himself into becoming a girl.  That’s a striking blow to the transgender agenda!  What’s a liberal supposed to do with all this??

Zero Hedge, posted below, tries to help us understand.

************************

 You come here to understand the many social and political mysteries of the day. I will attempt to unravel this hairball.

Most obviously, the suspect, now dead, in Wednesday’s Minneapolis school shooting was not a “her.”

He was a him, a 23-year-old male, Robert Westman, who had been pretending to be a female for some years since undergoing puberty, with the encouragement of his parents and the cultural leaders of his city, including Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey, backed by the expressed principles of the national Democratic Party.

The essence of all that was a gigantic game of pretend, a broad and deliberate dissociation from reality for the purpose of maintaining a political racketeering operation, which is what the Democratic Party had become.

Pretend that men can become women. Pretend that Covid vaccinations are safe and effective. Pretend that national borders don’t matter. Pretend that crime is not a social problem. Pretend that riots are mostly peaceful. Pretend that our elections are free and fair. Pretend that “Joe Biden” is president. Pretend that Ukraine is fighting for democracy. And so on. All pretend.

Since the Democratic Party has zero useful ideas for improving the lives of this country’s citizens, all it has is pretend theater, which is public performative psychopathology, otherwise known as acting-out.

Mass murders of school-children by so-called trans people are the most garish and horrific actings-out, the most offensive to society, a slaughter of innocents. Such an act grabs everybody’s attention. The New York Times pretends that all this is “a mystery” because to tell the truth would inculpate them in the ongoing criminal racketeering operation of their patron, the Democratic Party.

They all know what the truth is in this matter: that Robert Westman became insane, at least in his time of puberty, possibly earlier, and that his parents resorted to persuading their child that he was born in the wrong body — as the trendy theory goes — to remedy his psychological distress. He was thereafter influenced to play-act as a female. Possibly, he was induced to go through some stage of medical “treatment” to supposedly advance his transition to the opposite sex — for instance, a hormone regimen. This has not yet been reported. (Has it even been investigated by police or the news media?)

Of course, “gender-affirming medical care” is a vicious fraud, as is the preposterous idea of “sexual assignment at birth” (as if it is some kind of error-ridden clerical function).

Males cannot be changed into females no matter how much their hormones are altered or how much surgery they endure. It is all just costuming and makeup, to an extreme degree, to enhance the game of pretend. 

It is also bound to be nightmarishly disappointing to the person undergoing such malign rigors.

As in the case of psycho-killer Robert Westman, he discovered his tragic mistake in exactly the period of life — emerging into adulthood — when emotions tend to be most labile. If he also happened to be on psychotropic drugs such as SSRIs (Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Celexa, etc.), known to produce suicidal and homicidal thinking, combined with his emotional instability, there you have an obvious recipe for disaster. None of that is mysterious.

Nor was the record he left behind in his “manifesto” or in the videos and social media postings he put up. Westman evinced stark rage and despair over the poor choice he was induced to make at a time in his life before the judgment region of his brain had fully developed. “I’m tired of being trans,” he wrote. “I wish I had never brainwashed myself.” It was hardly his own fault, though. He was pushed to do it by his own family and strongly supported by the culture that surrounded him in Tim Walz’s “trans refuge state” of Minnesota — the state that also gave us George Floyd, the fake martyr to black victimhood, whose death provoked a years’ long national race-hustle. And, of course, Tim Walz was a recent standard-bearer for the Democratic Party, a signature figure for all their insanity.

The Famine that Wasn't. How Hamas Propaganda Has Been Gobbled Up by MainStreamMedia

 Since the beginning of Israel's war with Hamas we have wondered WHY the the global media has been so willing to repeat the claims of "Gaza's Department of Health" when they report the deaths of Gazans.  Why would we believe the claims that 50,000 Palestinians have been killed?  Why would we believe anything they say?

We KNOW for a fact that Hamas puts tunnels under hospitals and schools in hopes that Israel will be blamed when they bomb them.

When we see videos of Palestinian ambulance drivers rushing babies to the hospital, why would we not assume that it's all staged?

The main reason is that the world hates Jews.  And when you hate someone you are more than willing to accept anything that puts them in an unfavorable light.

Behind this narrative lies a calculated strategy: the weaponization of humanitarian suffering, orchestrated by Hamas — the entity that controls Gaza and its distribution of aid — and amplified by willing accomplices in the United Nations system and global media. The goal is not to report the truth but to smear Israel, rally international condemnation, and shield Hamas from accountability.

In May 2024, Israeli government data directly contradicted the IPC's claims. In June and July 2024, media reports continued to cite a "high risk of famine," but none could point to actual data proving that famine had occurred. The famine never arrived, but the headlines kept coming.

[I]n late June 2024, the IPC issued a report titled, "Famine Review Committee: Gaza Strip, June 2024 – IPC's third review report." It showed that the previous famine predictions were not plausible, contradicted all available data, and were based on incorrect assumptions.... [T]he findings of the "Famine Review Committee" were barely covered by the media outside of Israel.

Regardless of the consistent failure of the dire warnings of famine to come to fruition, the repetition of statements and headlines throughout 2024 set the narrative in the minds of the world: Famine in Gaza. Tellingly, the warnings were always couched in language that allowed for plausible deniability. There was always a "risk" of an "imminent" or "looming" famine -- a famine that just never arrived.

According to the World Food Programme, sustaining Gaza's estimated population of 2.1 million people requires approximately 62,000 metric tons of food per month.

From March through December 2024, 788,216 tons of food aid entered Gaza — an average of 78,821 tons per month, more than 25% above the WFP's stated threshold.

Famously, on May 20, 2025, Tom Fletcher, head of the UN's Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, told BBC Radio that "there are 14,000 babies that will die in the next 48 hours unless we can reach them." While this claim was walked back by the UN, the narrative damage was done.

The food was entering Gaza — far above the minimum necessary — so why was there any hunger at all? The answer is straightforward: Hamas has weaponized food. The terrorist group that controls Gaza has systematically blocked, diverted, looted, hoarded, and resold humanitarian aid at exorbitant prices.

Operating four sites in the southern and central Gaza Strip, the GHF is an American project operating in close coordination with Israeli authorities. The purpose of the GHF is to deliver food aid directly to individual Gazan families while bypassing Hamas-controlled distribution networks. The GHF operates with a high level of logistical transparency, tracking aid deliveries with barcodes and GPS to ensure that food reaches its intended recipients.

"[S]o who's doing the killing? That's a good question. You honestly think it's some U.S. contractors, or it's the IDF just gunning people down. Or is it Hamas... because it's business to them. If they can keep people from getting the free food, then they can sell the food that was supposed to be given to them for free. That's what no one seems to be wanting to talk about. Why not?" — US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, August 8, 2025.

The daily claims of deaths at from IDF fire distribution sites always come from staff at Hamas-controlled hospitals or unverified eyewitness testimonies. There has yet to be even a single video clip of such an incident occurring, even as virtually every move anyone makes in Gaza is recorded on a smartphone and shared widely.

Macron's pledge to recognize a Palestinian state – quickly joined by the UK, Canada and Australia – and the most recent surge in aid into Hamas-controlled areas through airdrops and increases in trucks entering Gaza, together with the aggressive demonization of Israel in the media and diplomatic arena, have led Hamas to believe that time is on their side.

Hamas knows that it has no chance of beating the Israel militarily, but its propaganda war has been a smashing success. If all it takes is keeping Gaza's civilians hungry and desperate, that is a price Hamas is more than happy to pay.

Mass Shooting at Catholic School in Minneapolis

 Here comes another story of a "deranged gunman" shooting up a school filled with children.  The Left will instantly start screaming that "black guns are bad!" and proceed to use the wrong words for calibers, clips, magazines and automatic vs semi-automatic.  The Right will say, "this never was a problem until about 30 years ago when you started pumping drugs into our kids for every little thing!"

To add a twist, it turns out that the "deranged gunman" actually identified as a woman so should be called a "deranged gunwoman".

The story coming out confirms that Satan and his demons were involved in ALL of the details leading up to this crime.  It's tragic/terrifying to think what Robin Westman woke up to the moment he/she shot himself/herself in the head.

We have seen this happen way too many times before.  Over and over again, mass shootings are being committed by deranged individuals that hate conservatives and hate Christians.  More often than not, the shooters are deeply involved in an alternative sexual lifestyle, and so they view conservatives and Christians as their "oppressors".  

Frequently, the shooters have some sort of a personal connection to the particular target that has been chosen.  Of course in so many of these cases the mainstream media will completely ignore the real reason why a mass shooting has taken place.  But the American people are not stupid.  We can all see what is happening, and it is time for the mainstream media to start admitting the truth.

The mass shooting that just occurred in Minneapolis should be a major wake up call for all of us.

At 8:30 in the morning, the shooter showed up at the Annunciation Catholic Church dressed in all black and opened fire on children as they sat in the pews...

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara said law enforcement responded to the shooting around 8:30 a.m. Wednesday morning. O'Hara said the shooter fired a rifle through church windows and was also armed with a shotgun and a pistol.

A government official briefed on the investigation and a law enforcement source told CBS News that the shooter was wearing all black clothing.

An 8-year-old and a 10-year-old were killed while they sat in the pews. The parents of the children have been notified, O'Hara said.

Seventeen others, including 14 children, were injured.

Any church or school that does not have armed security in this environment may want to reconsider.

The world that we live in is completely different than it was 40 or 50 years ago.

When I was growing up, I never imagined for one second that some nut with a gun would come in to my school and start shooting.

But now our society is literally teeming with dangerous lunatics.

In this instance, the shooter blocked the church doors so that the children could not escape before he began shooting through the church windows...

Police said at least two of the church doors appeared to have been blocked by two by fours before the shooting, suggesting Westman wanted to trap the people inside.

'During the mass, the gunman approached on the outside, on the side of the building, and began firing a rifle through the church windows towards the children sitting in the pews at the mass,' O'Hara said.

'Shooting through the windows, he struck children and worshipers that were inside the building.'

I don't like to write about things like this, and I am sure that many of you don't like to read about things like this.

But this is our world now, and sticking our heads in the sand isn't going to do anyone any good.

FBI Director Kash Patel has announced that this mass shooting will be investigated as a hate crime...

FBI Director Kash Patel said the FBI is investigating the shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic school mass as an act of domestic terrorism and hate crime in a post on X.

"The FBI is investigating this shooting as an act of domestic terrorism and hate crime targeting Catholics," Patel wrote.

Of course it was a hate crime.

Christians were specifically targeted for what they believe.

The shooter has been identified as Robin Westman.  It has been confirmed that Westman's name was officially changed in 2020...

Three law enforcement sources told CBS News the shooter was Robin Westman, 23, from suburban Minneapolis. Westman's name was officially changed from Robert Westman to Robin Westman in 2020, documents show.

We have also learned that Westman was a former student of the school, and Westman's mother previously worked there...

A law enforcement official told the New York Times that Westman is believed to have been a former student at the school. They also told the outlet the suspect's mother previously worked at the campus.

There is the personal connection.

We see it in so many of these cases.

After adopting a new lifestyle, Westman apparently developed an intense hatred for Christians.  He had also previously posted about killing "Filthy Zionist Jews".

But instead of shooting adults, Westman came up with a plan to slaughter children.

I think that the term "demonic" accurately describes what Westman had become.

The first page of his very sick manifesto is currently circulating on social media.  It clearly shows that he planned all of this well in advance.

Westman also posted a video on YouTube shortly before the mass shooting.

The video has been taken down, but it is being reported that the video revealed Westman's "twisted obsession with other school shooters, dislike of Trump and mockery of the church"...

However, a chilling video shared on a now-deleted YouTube account appears to reveal the killer's sick manifesto.

In the 20-minute-long video, the 23-year-old showed off her kill kit of ammunition, magazines and firearms and revealed her twisted obsession with other school shooters, dislike of Trump and mockery of the church.

Here;  Mass Shooting In Minneapolis Follows A Pattern That Is Becoming Very Familiar

Not so very long ago, if a man thought he was a woman, his local community would have known he was mentally ill and the Coast to Coast wouldn't have sold him a gun.  But the gun isn't the problem, it's the large number of people who are willing to use them against other people.  

I will try and find it and post it, but there is a drawing, done by the shooter, of he/she looking in the mirror and Satan is looking and talking back to him saying "kill, kill".

Any human that gets to the point where he can willfully execute little kids, there is a 100% chance that it's demonically inspired.  Here is just one more case.

Godfather of AI Warns that Super Intelligent Machines Could Replace Humanity

 We have seen many videos where a dude with a microphone goes on the street and asks adults questions like, "How many dimes are in a dollar?"  Or, "How many states make up the United States?"  Or, "3 times 3 times 3 is how much?"  The blank look on the faces of those asked says it all.  They simply have no clue.  It's pretty terrifying to see the dumbing down of America.  Why should anyone really KNOW anything in their brains when they can just ask SIRI or AI to answer any question they could possibly need to know?

Enter AI and it's ability to answer any question in 2 seconds.  If these machines and intelligence is so much smarter than humans, do we really need humans anymore?  Maybe we just need a few smart humans around but the 99% of folks are just taking up space and resources...right?

Geoffrey Hinton, the pioneering computer scientist called the “godfather of AI,” has once again sounded the alarm that the very technology he helped bring to life could spell the end of humanity as we know it.

In an interview clip released Aug. 18 as part of the forthcoming film “Making God,” Hinton delivered one of his starkest warnings yet. He said that humanity risks being sidelined—and eventually replaced—by machines far smarter than ourselves.

“Most people aren’t able to comprehend the idea of things more intelligent than us,” Hinton, a Nobel Prize winner for physics and a former Google executive, said in the clip.

“They always think, ‘Well, how are we going to use this thing?’ They don’t think, ‘Well, how’s it going to use us?’”

Hinton said he is “fairly confident” that artificial intelligence will drive massive unemployment, pointing to early examples of tech giants such as Microsoft replacing junior programmers with AI. But the larger danger, he said, goes far beyond the workplace.

“The risk I’ve been warning about the most ... is the risk that we’ll develop an AI that’s much smarter than us, and it will just take over,” Hinton said.

“It won’t need us anymore.”

The only silver lining is that “it won’t eat us, because it’ll be made of silicon,” he said.

That work earned him the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics, awarded “for foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.”

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences noted how Hinton’s early use of statistical physics provided the conceptual leap that made today’s AI revolution possible.

But Hinton has since emerged as one of the field’s fiercest critics, warning that its rapid development has outpaced society’s ability to keep it safe. In 2023, he resigned from his role at Google so he could speak freely about the risks without implicating the company.

In his Nobel lecture, Hinton acknowledged the potential benefits of AI—such as productivity gains and new medical treatments that could be a “wonderful advance for all humanity.” Yet he also warned that creating digital beings more intelligent than humans poses an “existential threat.”

Hinton has previously estimated that there is a 10 percent to 20 percent chance that AI could wipe out humanity. In a June episode of The Diary of a CEO podcast, he said that the engineers behind today’s AI systems don’t fully understand the technology and broadly fall into two camps: one that believes in a dystopian future where humans are displaced, and the other that dismisses such fears as science fiction.

“I think both of those positions are extreme,” Hinton said.

“I often say 10 percent to 20 percent chance [for AI] to wipe us out. But that’s just gut, based on the idea that we’re still making them and we’re pretty ingenious. And the hope is that if enough smart people do enough research with enough resources, we’ll figure out a way to build them so they’ll never want to harm us.”

At the Las Vegas conference, Hinton offered a novel idea for how to mitigate the danger: Instead of trying to force AI systems into submission, researchers should design them with “maternal instincts” so they would want to protect humans even as they grow smarter.

Here;  ‘Godfather of AI’ Warns Superintelligent Machines Could Replace Humanity | The Epoch Times

Hmmm...a 10 percent to 20 percent chance that AI could wipe out humanity.  Sounds a lot like what is going to happen during the Great Tribulation on earth.

That is quite a statement coming for the dude who probably knows most about AI.

We are on Camera Everywhere We Go and it's Only Going to Get Worse

 Think about how many times you are on camera in an average day.  You drive to the office on a Monday and you are recorded at just about every stoplight you drive through.  Then you stop for gas and you're on the camera at the gas pump and when you go into the store to pay.  Next you stop at Menards on your way home and there are cameras on top of every light pole in the parking lot, at the store entrance and at the cash register when you're checking out.  And of course every time you buy something with your visa card there is an electronic record of exactly what you bought and when you bought it.

Suffice it to say that if the FBI needed to find you in a hurry they could re-trace your movements in about 50 different ways every single day you leave your house.

Is the Antichrist system being built all around us??  You can bet your Bible on it.

Imagine driving to Sunday service, visiting a friend, or stopping by a hospital--and knowing that at every turn, an unseen eye records your license plate, your route, and the frequency of your visits. What used to be a fleeting moment of life on the road has become an entry in a permanent file. That's not science fiction. It's happening now, across thousands of American communities, under the quiet rise of license-plate reader technology.

From Rare to Routine in Just a Few Years

Only a decade ago, automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) were niche tools for catching stolen cars. Today, they're everywhere--mounted on police cruisers, lining school zones, or bolted to traffic lights. In Westchester County, New York, a network of 480 cameras scanned over 16 million vehicles in a single week earlier this year. 

In Virginia, more than 1,000 Flock Safety cameras log plate data daily, some of which has been accessed in immigration enforcement searches despite official restrictions. Even smaller towns are jumping in: Milford, Connecticut, recently deployed 14 solar-powered ALPRs around highways and schools, expanding a local net of surveillance that includes drones and red-light cameras.

The scale is staggering, and it's accelerating. The result is a patchwork system that, stitched together, forms something close to a national surveillance network.

AI Turns Surveillance Into Suspicion

What makes this different from yesterday's traffic cams is artificial intelligence. Companies like Flock, Motorola Solutions, and PlateSmart aren't just snapping plates anymore. Their systems use AI to flag "suspicious" driving patterns, identify vehicles by make, model, and bumper stickers, and stitch together a car's travel history.

Once the data is centralized, it doesn't just say who was where. It builds a profile: who goes to a gun shop every Saturday, who visits a cancer clinic weekly, who pulls into a particular church every Sunday. Multiply that across millions of people, and you no longer just have traffic data--you have a living map of America's private habits.

The Mosaic of Our Lives

Civil liberties groups warn of the "mosaic effect"--where harmless data points, once combined, reveal intimate truths. A late-night stop at a clinic. Weekly trips to a mosque. Frequent visits to an address that isn't your own. It's the kind of detail that used to require human tailing, court warrants, and months of legwork. Now, a simple query can retrieve it in seconds.

And police aren't the only ones with access. Some databases are shared across agencies, some with private companies, and some--as recent leaks showed--even with foreign contractors. In Illinois, ALPR data was used to track a woman seeking an abortion across state lines. In Austin, a review showed that 20% of police searches of ALPR logs lacked documentation, raising questions about casual, unchecked access.

I will remind you again that WE are the FIRST GENERATION to have the technology available to complete all the prophecies pertaining to the Last Days that the Bible clearly laid out.

In the Season of the Returning King

 A reader sent me this today.  No man knows the day or the hour when the bridegroom will come but if we are watching, studying, praying and anticipating we should NOT be surprised.  A crown of righteousness awaits those who are not caught off guard and who are actually anticipating His return.

The Jewish months, dates and calendar can offer us deeper meaning to scripture.  There are 13 months in the Hebrew calendar (a lunar calendar) and today is the first day of the month of Elul.  The year is 5785 which counts the number of years since Adam was created.

Also remember that Israel is 77 years old this year.  Seven is a number used many times by God to indicate completeness.

***************************************

Blessings to you on 1 Elul, 5785,  Rosh Chodesh Elul, the new moon and the opening of the season of return.

Elul is the time when the King is in the field, walking among the workers before the harvest. The rabbis captured the picture, but scripture confirms it:

“The field is the world” (Matthew 13:38).

“Lift up your eyes, the fields are white already to harvest” (John 4:35).

“And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them” (Exodus 25:8).

“The Word became flesh and tabernacled among us” (John 1:14).

This is the pattern:

The King leaves His palace and comes into the field (Philippians 2:6–7).

He sets His tabernacle among His people, dwelling in their midst (Ezekiel 37:27).

At the trumpet, the harvest is gathered (1 Thessalonians 4:16–17).

At the end, the King dwells permanently with His people (Revelation 21:3).

Elul is preparation. The Feast of Trumpets is the awakening blast, the day no man knows, the gathering and the hiding of His own. Tabernacles is the dwelling forever.

We stand between the field and the trumpet. The King is near, merciful, calling to repentance before the harvest.

“Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day” (Psalm 81:3).

We watch, we warn, and we wait.

Worthy is the Lamb.

Crime Plunges in Washington DC

 The Left has gone insane over Trump’s decision to put National Guard soldiers in Washington DC.  The Democrats have dug themselves into a very deep hole.  First they lied about Biden’s mental acuity, then they ran the most awful candidate possible, then they were willing to die on the hills of “boys in women’s sports” and “a woman is anyone who identifies as a woman.”  Most Americans are not that far left.  Most Americans want less car-jacking, murder, robbery and rape in our nation’s capitol.  Most Americans are not in favor of lawlessness.

***********************

It's hard to argue with the recent numbers.  Washington DC has long been a national embarrassment for the American public, consistently ranking high on the list of the most crime ridden cities in the US.  The city consistently ranks in the top 20 for overall crime, 13th out of 200 US cities with the highest property crime and it was ranked 4th in the US for homicide last year.     

While Democrats claim that the mayhem has been in decline since 2023, they don't mention the fact that there was a dramatic spike in assaults, robberies, rapes and murders that year.  Meaning, even with the drop, in 2025 DC still ranks among the worst cities in the US.  There are also suspicions of data rigging by DC officials. 

Throttled prosecution numbers cloud the real picture of safety in the capital and one wonders if anything Democrats say can be trusted.  After all, these are the same people that tried to tell us there was no stagflation crisis.  These are the same people that tried to tell us there was no immigration crisis.  These are the same people that told us the BLM riots were "fiery but mostly peaceful". 

Is it any wonder that the political left is now furious over the Trump Administration's crackdown on crime in DC, even though the program has resulted in an immediate and dramatic decline in criminal activity?

Recent reports show that Washington crime has plunged in the past two weeks.  Property crime dropped 19%, violent crime dipped 17%-22% (depending on the source), robberies/muggings have dropped 40%-46% and carjackings have dropped 83%.  The average murder rate in DC is one killing every 36hrs - There has not been a single murder since August 13th.
