The clear desire to upset the mass population, to destabilize our nation, and mix anger with preconceived notions just added another block to the tower. Just when we were having a celebration of the Army’s 250th birthday (founded on 14 June 1775); in addition to DJT’s birthday; in addition to Flag Day (mine was out, was yours?) when we annually commemorate the adoption of the U.S. flag by the Second Continental Congress in 1777, those who unlove the USA organized No Kings protests. I thought we addressed that with the Revolutionary War. And I thought it was about immigrants and against ICE, but the title seemed (at least to my way of thinking) to change that. As protests sometimes do, there were areas of riots, burning, and looting – in a loving way, of course, if I am to believe some newscasters’ reports. There’s more, of course, but it might be addressed at a later time; maybe when we clearly see an Armageddon scenario.
The “more” that I address here is a man who posed as law enforcement (complete with a law enforcement SUV and lights) and shot two couples. One pair died – Democrat House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband. She recently voted to end MNCare for illegal alien adults. The vote consisted of all Republicans plus 4 Democrats, hers being one of them. The other couple, Senator John Hoffman and his wife are in critical condition, but able to speak. What will we learn?
The frustrating thing for people who live in Minnesota, well – all of us, for that matter – is that the story keeps changing. Vance Boelter was a Governor Walz appointee and, before that, a Governor Dayton appointee. His bachelor’s degree is from St. Cloud State University and Master of Science in Management and Doctorate in Leadership for the Advancement of Learning and Service from Cardinal Stritch University. Companies he’s worked with include Nestle, Del Monte, Tesoro, Marathon, Speedway, and 7-Eleven. He is the CEO of Red Lion Group based in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Praetorian Guard Security Services. A later report stated that he was a pastor. Another report from a well-known source described him as “deeply religious”.
Initial reports showed white folded pieces of paper in what was reportedly his SUV with No Kings hand-printed on them. We were told they were flyers. We were told he had a list of nearly 100 targets. Then the number changed. It has recently changed again. We were told politicians’ names were on the list. Walz, himself, described it as “politically motivated”. Now we’re told some non-politicians’ names were there.
There’s a manifesto. Really? When I heard that, I thought to myself C_A. If you did, too, I don’t blame you.
It looks like Mr. Boelter had a plan that included assassinations. Unless he’s being set-up. He wouldn’t be the first. When descriptions of events and of people change, it’s probably best for us to step back. (We’ll be doing a lot of that in the coming days, because, as Scripture tells us, Satan’s time is short and he is the father of lies.) Because right now the confusion being sown in the information we’re getting is just a shot in the dark.
