Cops probing anti-Israel manifesto allegedly written by terror suspect Elias Rodriguez ahead of DC Jewish Museum shooting: sources

Police are probing whether the suspected terrorist arrested for shooting dead two Israeli Embassy staffers in Washington, D.C. blasted out an anti-Israel manifesto online in the lead up to the bloodshed, law enforcement sources told The Post.

Elias Rodriguez, 31, had allegedly chanted “Free, free Palestine” just moments before he confessed to gunning down the couple outside the Capital Jewish Museum late Wednesday, cops said.

As investigators probed a motive behind the horrific antisemitic bloodshed, cops were homing in on a 900-word manifesto brandishing Rodriguez’s name that started circulating online immediately after his arrest, the sources said.

In addition to trying to determine the document’s authenticity, authorities were also trawling through Rodriguez’s electronic devices and probing whether he was self-radicalized, according to sources.

The missive, which was apparently dated May 20 — a day before the slayings — appeared to suggest the killings were an act of political protest ignited by the war in Gaza.

“An armed action is not necessarily a military action. It usually is not. Usually it is theater and spectacle, a quality it shares with many unarmed actions,” the document reads.

The alleged manifesto went on to suggest that those “of us against the genocide” have “forfeited their humanity.”

“But inhumanity has long since shown itself to be shockingly common, mundane, prosaically human. A perpetrator may then be a loving parent, a filial child, a generous and charitable friend, an amiable stranger, capable of moral strength at times when it suits him and sometimes even when it does not, and yet be a monster all the same,” the writings state.

Interesting, isn’t it - how that manifesto was released within hours of the shooting.

Yet the shooting up of a kids’ school in Nashville by a mentally ill, violent and deranged tranny - the government refused to release the manifesto.

It took two years and Kash Patel to finally release it:

“Kill all the white kids. Kill my own race.”

“Female pronouns make me feel like I wanna die.”

“I have to kill so I can be remembered in the most horrific way possible.”

Didn’t fit the narrative of a Trump supporter or White Supremacist.

He sounds similar to the Anarchists of over 100 years ago. Maybe he thought he could instigate WWIII, the way Gavrilo Princip instigated WWI by assassinating the Archduke Ferdinand and wife Sophie.

Princip and five other conspirators were positioned along the route, spaced out along the Appel Quay, each instructed to assassinate the Archduke when the royal car reached their position. The first conspirator, Muhamed Mehmedbašić, stood near the Austro-Hungarian Bank but lost his nerve and allowed the car to pass without acting. At 10:15 am, as the motorcade passed the central police station, 19-year-old student Nedeljko Čabrinović hurled a hand grenade at the Archduke’s car. The driver accelerated upon seeing the grenade, which had a 10-second delay, and the bomb exploded under the fourth car, seriously wounding two occupants. Following this failed attempt, the motorcade sped away, and the remaining conspirators, including Princip, were unable to act due to the high speed of the vehicles.

After delivering his scheduled speech at Town Hall, the Archduke decided to visit the victims of Čabrinović’s grenade attack at the Sarajevo Hospital. To avoid the city centre, General Oskar Potiorek directed the royal car to travel straight along the Appel Quay to the hospital. However, Potiorek failed to inform the driver, Leopold Lojka, a Czech, about this change. On the way to the hospital, Lojka, following the original plan, turned onto a side street where Princip happened to be standing in front of a delicatessen. After Potiorek shouted at him to stop, Lojka halted the car and began reversing. As he did so, the engine stalled, and the gears locked. Princip stepped forward, drew an FN Model 1910 semi-automatic pistol, and fired twice at close range into the car. The first bullet struck the Archduke in the neck, while the second hit the Duchess in the abdomen. Both died shortly afterward.

Leftist media has been sympathetic to the killer, repeating lies and slanders about Israel as if true.

It really is stochastic terrorism, repeating falsehoods to wip morons likes this into a frenzy.

They should charge the Gaslight Media as accessories after the fact in the murders.

The Gaslight Media is promoting “Palestine” just as they promoted Trump hatred in the lead up to the assassination attempts on him.

The feds sure released that manifesto quickly- within hours of the shooting.

Unlike the manifesto written by the deranged tranny that shot up a kids’ school in Nashville TN in 2023. The Democrats held on to that one for two years until Kash Patel released it recently:

“Kill all the white kids. Kill my own race.”

“Every white person who lived and died, I hate you all”

“I have to kill so I can be remembered in the most horrific way possible that no one can ever forget.”

They couldn’t blame the shooting on Trump or White Supremacists (they sure tried, though).

We can expect more of this as the summer heats up and the Supreme Court prevent the removal of these enemy agents and detention of home grown zealots...

It was circulated online, so the authorities had no way to control its release, unlike the Nashville nut’s journals and diaries which were hardcopy only.

Even if they had chosen to release them, it would have taken weeks to digitize them (which somebody has to be paid to do).
