Today during lunch I opened up my phone and broke down a bit in front of my fellow teachers reading that another mass shooting hit, this time not one of Fred Brennan’s cultists.
I choked up as I shared with others. Another elementary. Three children.
After I got home from school and picked up my kids I again read, this time with more accurate reporting of who was behind the latest in a string of societal moral failure where one side of the political aisle rather destroy books, teachers, history, than dare mess with the gun lobby’s right to put weapons of war in people’s hands.
The shooter didn’t fit the mold, so the Russian Fifth Column would surely lurch into action, demonize, demoralize and make this an effort to further stoke annihilation and genocide among their adherents.
Recall that Elon Musk himself made homosexuality the feigned reason one of Fred Brennan’s boys broke into Nancy Pelosi’s house and nearly kill her husband.
It’s not about homosexuality.
Peter Thiel and Jeff Giesea are gay, with Thiel’s lurch towards fascism’s performative propaganda machine being predicated on Gawker outing him. For that reason Thiel funded James O’ Keefe and Project Veritas aiming to destroy the media company using Hulk Hogan.
It’s about radicalization.
Thiel, Musk Giesea, Sacks and others in the PayPal Mafia that funded QAnon, adopted GamerGate, pulled in sycophants on both extremes, added foreign and US assets through clever multilayered machinations, literally to be able to push their accretion ideologies, kill people, gain power and profit. Demonizing others even if they are part of the group stokes up the true ‘broke mind virus’ indoctrinated on hate, misogyny and guns, is the most surest way of pushing democracy out the door, leveling up to the endgame in Sid Meier’s Civilization.
I don’t cry over the one mass shooting I saw, not knowing it was a mass shooting at the time, viewed from my second story window. I did at the beginning of the school year as Ulvalde changed our routines having to lock my interior classroom door that I had always in the past left open, and again today. It’s far harder when the targets are younger.
I’ll keep fighting, pressing forward, yet the war is exhausting.
Love you, Steven 😪
