The El Paso Shooter Admits He Is A Progressive Leftist
America First ^ | 08/04/19

Posted on 08/04/2019 8:51:23 AM PDT by Enlightened1

It should come as no surprise that the FakeNews Industrial Complex has already pounced on the latest mass shooting for political purposes. Already there has been a flurry of cries from pundits and presidential candidates alike insisting that this shooting was somehow caused by President Trump and his rhetoric, and that this is allegedly further proof that our President is stoking racial division.

But once again, the media is ignoring an inconvenient little thing called the Truth.

First, the shooter expresses his disdain for both major parties; he decries the Democrats’ open-borders policies while also declaring that “the Republican Party is also terrible,” since the GOP, he says, is “pro-corporation,” and “pro-corporation = pro-immigration.”

The section of his manifesto entitled “Economic Reasons” is by far the most shocking part, in terms of directly contradicting the media spin that this shooter was somehow far-right. He explicitly expresses his support for “a basic universal income,” which he says is the only thing that can “prevent widespread poverty and civil unrest.” He then goes on to support “ambitious social projects like universal healthcare.” Later, he claims that the American lifestyle “is destroying the environment of our country,” and that “the decimation of the environment is creating a massive burden for future generations.”

So clearly this killer supports some of the most openly socialist policies in American political discourse today, including universal income, socialized medicine, and a belief in “global warming.” Yet, according to the media, he is somehow just another “far-right” shooter who has been motivated by President Trump.

This just proves that the violence in Democrat run cities isn’t about race, but about buying in to the leftists’ mentality of being entitled to free stuff.

Don’t focus on the writings.

Focus on his actions.

The current Democrat Party is in a word...”Desperate”!!! And remember, people “Desperate People do Desperate things”. Truth be known, the Democrat Party is now entering its self-inflicted political death throes. POTUS, Donald J. Trump will be re-elected in 2020 in a massive landslide victory.

The antics of nutcase Democrat POTUS Candidate Beto O’Rourke are a literal joke as he feigns to be somber and mourning as he openly smiles prior to his loving act for El Paso and its residents. Just check out his act on video. Folks...you better wise up relative Beto O’Rourke, he cares about only one thing & one thing only...himself...period!!!

The Daily Beast has an article about the shooter's father's work, and more about the family in general.

The actions of the shooter make even less sense in the context of what The Daily Beast article has to say about the family. Short of some kind of mental illness, it hard to fathom how the young man came to believe killing people was a reasonable thing to do.

Good point - one that is rarely brought up.

The argument against the 2A is of course public safety. The annual numbers are measured in thousands. But the 1A gets a pass because the actual number of victims is both too small and too large to measure.

Mass shooting incidents like this are still rare, so the media generally gets a pass. But large scale movements driven by propaganda and hate eventually reach tolls exceeding millions.

The 24/7 vilification of the very foundational elements of US society & culture is really no different than the type of propaganda generated by the Germans, Japanese, Soviets & Chinese during those respective conflicts. Oh, I should probably mention the CSA as well.

And what did Lincoln do? Or, for that matter Wilson & Roosevelt? They recognized the 1A was a tremendous threat to freedom and liberty if allowed to be exploited and manipulated to serve the enemy's purpose.

And what of Trump? Did he - or does he - realize the deep state is engaged in a very real war of conquest over the American people? Did he think he could merely appeal to political rhetoric, hoping the electoral process would resolve the issues?

Wrong! It's war, and until Trump begins to take measures that actually amount to effective offensive counter measures, the war will be continued to be waged along the same tactical lines we are witnessing each day.

I’m not suggesting it is factual info, or anything of the sort since it can apparently be edited at will. I was simply providing it as an example of how the content was edited after the shooting to imply the shooter’s support for Republicans, Trump, and other causes.

No, I caught your meaning. And THEY will exploit it and present things as “factual”.

As it been determined that the manifesto is indeed the murderer’s?

A lie can race around the world while the truth is still putting on its boots.

It seems as though rumor is transmitted through telepathy, while cold hard fact has to be set in type, printed, and mailed out. And often as not, even with the facts available, the rumor is the version that is remembered.

It's really interesting, reading his manifesto. He's against race-mixing, but he doesn't actually say anything negative about the other races, just that he thinks they should be kept separate so that they have a sense of identity and social cohesion. He sounds like a separatist, but not a supremacist.

Definitely worried about the environment and pollution... if it weren't for his remarks on immigration and race, he would be seen as a Bernie Sanders supporter..

People giving their lives “for the cause” is not just a lefty thing FRiend.

History is replete with examples of people who died in the support of a cause.

In our history Patrick Henry stated “Give me liberty or give me death”.

Nathan Hale stated before his execution “I regret that I have but one life to give for my country”.

“Ben Franklin’s famous quote, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately” is just as profoundly true now as it was more than two centuries ago.”

Islam and Communism produce them in wholesale numbers. And the existence of Freedom martyrs does NOT show that Commie and Mussulman “martyrs” are nonexistent or of no account.

The shooter stated that his racism pre-dates Trump, AND he identifies as Democrat.

We need to accept the reality that there are a lot of young men with mental health problems who can go on a shooting rampage.

The mental health crisis has been brewing since the 1970’s when mentally ill people were allowed to roam freely—many as homeless addicts.

The Medical Profession has tried to keep mentally ill people under control through use of various drugs.

At this point it is beginning to appear the INMATES are running the ASYLUM.

The LEFTISTS will use any tactic to take away guns. From the standpoint of a LEFTIST-—so what if a few people need to get shot by a mentally ill person in the fulfillment of the leftist agenda.

Ignore mylife
Anyone can edit that stuff and they do every time there’s a shooting like this

Even the pre-event info there could be way off. Those profiles start with mylife scraping public info and there’s no guarantee of it’s accuracy

Of course the press has no curiosity about how the shooter went from cargo pants to tan slacks by the time of his arrest. 😆
