ALRIGHT WE GOT CONFIRMATION. TIME FOR A CONSOLIDATION THREAD 🧵

WHO IS THE MINNEAPOLIS MASS SHOOTER ROBIN WESTMAN?

Robin was born with the name Robert and changed their name legally to Robert to coincide with their gender transition.

Robin's mother had a tight association with the school that Robin would target later on.

Robin also had a YouTube channel where until recently they posted a handful of videos of little importance.

This morning they posted to both their YouTube account and to the mass killer subreddit. The YouTube video opens with them thumbing through a journal.

After that the video shows them showing off the weapons that would be used in the attack. An AR15, a Mossberg Shockwave 12 gauge shotgun, a handgun, and a revolver.

We know that based on some of the information Robin showed us that this attack was planned for quite some time, showing an in depth sketch of the sanctuary of the church, complete with entrances and exits.

Robin also post another video of their other journal which was written entirely in Cyrillic letters but using english spelling of works. People are actively working on deciphering it.

(continued)

If any other major breakthroughs happen I will update this thread or make another.

I neglected to also mention their weapons are coated in white text, mimicking both the transsexual Christian elementary school shooter and Adam Lanza.

The shooter covered their weapons in strange slogans, internet memes, and nonsense.

Apologies, not Lanza, I meant to say Brendan Terrant.

Robin apparently had an account on the website "Skibidi Farms" which is unrelated to Kiwi Farms despite the naming similarity.

And here is his alleged Twitter/X account

Thanks to @FreeUkraine91 for the tipoff of their follower list. I briefly looked into the "true sadist" one and I saw some rancid stuff.

Our shooter may not be a kid diddler but he definitely associated with them.

WCCO talk radio postulating this may have been planned via a discord.

I hate to be that guy but if that's the case we may have another 09A/764 type killer.

I have no solid evidence to support that at this time.

I missed this but the killer also featured an O9A logo on his Skibidi Farms account.

O9A and their associated 764 sect are tied to a number of mass shootings and child abuse cases.

And now we have their alleged reddit account.

Report of a press conference at 2:30 CST.

https://x.com/FBIDirectorKash/status/1960785108996112782

FBI director Kash Patel announces that this will be investigated as domestic terrorism.

https://x.com/FBIDirectorKash/status/1960785108996112782

Press conference in "a minute or two"

Walz and Frey are on the scene.

I will do the conference as a giant post rather than a series of little ones

Even archbishop Hebda is here! Holy shit!

Walz:

Offers condolences and calls the shooter evil. Says these events should not happen. Offers his deepest sympathies and wishes that the words he offered did more.

He thanks the mayor, PD, sheriff, State Patrol, BCA, FBI, and medical teams.

He thanks everyone for being there again and comments on receiving a call from Trump expressing their condolences.

Walz says that the state will stand with the community to understand what we can do to prevent these types of events.

He asks that those around the nation keep us in our prayers and "in the thoughts of action."

No outright political grandstanding.

Frey:

Comments on the compassion and resilience of the community in response to the attack.

Says he is doing everything the city can to assist them.

Frey praises the students and staff who reacted heroically in response to the attack. Saying due to them things turned out better than they would have if otherwise would have happened.

He thanks the MPD for showing up.

He thanks the principal of the school.

Says "we need to do more than talk, there needs to be more than words, there needs to be action. When we see school shooting after school shooting..."

Frey then goes on about gun control and the number of guns in the country. I am disinterested in covering that part of his speech.

Frey then says do not direct hate to the transsexual community. To not demonize "our trans community and any community out there."

Frey says we need to focus on the kids impacted today.

Frey does more political grandstanding.

Frey thanks MPD chief O'Hara and Amy Klobuchar for being here.

MPD Chief O'Hara (this is the important one):

Says they will be giving the most accurate information possible.

19 total victimes, 2 young children aged 8 and 10. Pronounced dead on site.

14 other children from 6 to 15 injured.

3 adults in their 80s shot as well.

Families of the impacted have been notified.

Coward shot himself and identified as 23 year old Robin Westman (told ya!)

Weapons used: a rifle, a shotgun, and a pistol that were all lawfully purchased.

At this time they believe he acted alone and without any one else.

4 search warrants active. 1 in the church and 3 nearby residences related to the shooter.

Additional firearms are being recovered from those locations.

Police is aware of the manifesto mentioned earlier in this thread. MPD and FBI are trying to get it taken down from the web (his words).

Offers condolences to the community.

They have no established motive at this point.

Will take questions after the principal and archbishop speak.

The school principal offers kind words and sympathies to the families and recounts the heroism of the staff while lamenting this situation. He hopes this never happens again. He repeats the phrase "never again." to drive it home.

Archbishop Hebda (my bishop):

Comments on the heroism of the staff and is thankful for the priests that were there today.

He says there is still hope no matter what happens. He states we must be men and women of hope. He highlights the families who have stepped forward to help. He says we must continue praying.

POPE LEO WROTE A LETTER TO HIM:

The Pope was profoundly saddened to hear about what happened. He sends his heartfelt condolences and spiritual closeness to the families who lost a child. He prays for the families and those who responded. He offers his apostolic blessing to the city.

Hebda then spoke about how Leo received his hospital training here and that he has a personal connection to our state.

He finally highlights the need to look for hope.

Q&A - Quotes are approximate as I type real time

Q "How are the hurt students?"

A "They are all expected to survive"

Q "Where were the weapons from?"

A "They were purchased recently"

Q "is there a motive relating to the church?"

A "I have no information to share other than there was a manifesto that was taken down and is being investigated."

Q "Can you confirm the manifesto is from the suspect?"

A "We do believe it was form him"

Q"Is it true the suspect did change their name?"

A "we cannot confirm other than the shooter's name is Robin"

Q"Is there anything the suspect posted prior that shed any light?" (lmao check this thread for that)

A" We do not have information at this time to share"

Q "how many were in the church?"

A "This was the start of mass, I have heard estimates but we do not have a definitive number"

Q "How are resources do you need help?"

A "This has been a difficult drain on resources, dozens offices were traumatized by what they saw, not to diminish the victims suffering, but it has been a drain on our resources." He also talked at length of other local crimes that I won't cover here.

Q "is this your first mass shooting?"

A "No."

Q "Where do we start to make sure these things never happen again?"

A "I don't have an answer for that"

Q "The federals are interested in investigating this as a hate crime, yes?"

A "We do not have a motive at this time"

Q "Will there be elevated securities or patrols for other catholic churches in the area?"

A "This is something our community has had to deal with for some time unfortunately and it is nothing new here. We are available to work with churches and schools that do reach out."

Q "Is this the first time a Catholic mass has been targeted in the Minneapolis area?"

A - Bishop Hebda said this is likely the first

Q "Is this being investigated by the FBI?"

A "They are here and investigating with us along with ATF and others. It is led by the MPD at this time. We are open to going wherever the evidence leads us."

To summarize:

Everything discovered so far is likely true and they cannot comment on much else due to the fact its an ongoing investigation.

My comments:

Frey politicizing this was obscene to me. We are also on the right track with what we have found so far and I suspect we will find even more soon.

Kristi Noem highlights the transgendered aspect of the shooter and does not make mention of the potential Satanic death cult ties.

Information is likely to slow down now barring a major breakthrough but I will be monitoring things actively for another couple of hours. Anything that comes out after that I will probably just do a dedicated post about it.

Another Kiwi Farms user posts more translated pages of the strange diary.

KF poster appears to have finished the translation of the strange diary.

Sizable update.

Skibidi Farms guy is not the shooter. Genuine mistake. Don't bother him.

🧵"durr hurr nostalgia glasses make you think past good when past bad"

No. This country was a different place just 20 years ago.

Things that matter like the actual culture, social cohesion, economics and demographics of the nation have all changed. Even the still living older generations have lost it.

Our culture has been stripped by hyper consumerism, cynicism, and a loss of purpose.

https://x.com/spikesguides/status/2029710095110566266

Religion.

Religion was torn asunder and replaced with three mainstream options of nihilistic atheism with a vaguely Christian morality, a strange republic-protestant-Israeli hybrid complete with worship of political figures as living saints, and moralistic therapeutic deism wherein the default belief is "nothing - but spiritual" and morals are built on what feels good.

All 3 of these primary paths lead to the same result: A perverted worldview twisted more by politics than actual empathy for their fellow man.

The Christian roots of this nation have been poisoned on purpose to make the people forget or disdain their heritage. For example, the Christian holidays that this nation celebrates have become nothing more than excuses to rack up debt to show off how good of a spender you are.

Rather than achieving the Neitzchean goal of the Ubermensch after the death of God, we've found new gods in politicians, nations, and purchases.

To replace meaning, we sought the hedonic treadmill, or more accurately we were given it. Endlessly spending money on the next impulsive trend to feel better.

Edward Bernays invented consumerism in the ashes of World War 1. He felt that if men were occupied with the collection of things, they'd lose the impulse to fight one another, achieving peace.

He was right that it occupies the mind, by endlessly searching out the next purse, the next watch, the newest rifle, the latest and coolest *thing* we stop occupying our minds with anything else.

When God is distant and the new Marvel movie so close, which is more likely to draw you in?

I'm not a religious zealot, in fact I'm someone who is rather skeptical and struggles with faith, but I can tell you that a culture without a common faith, even if practiced only culturally, is one that is easy to break a part.

How have the Jewish people survived since their diaspora? A culture that hinged on religion that they clung to in foreign lands.

In the early 1990s approximately 90% of this country called itself Christian in some form. Now it's barely 60%.

When a people are broken. You can convince them to do anything. They'll desperately cling to meaning and meaning is whatever you sell them, whether it be garbage to extract more wealth, bizarre religious promises to wage wars, or replacing their morality with your own for political gain.

Economics.

Economically, this country is in worse shape now than it was in nearly any other period in history. Wages are stagnant, inflation is proving impossible to control due to infinite printing, and the wealth gap is increasing.

The problem is so bad that the top 10% of "earners" are doing over 50% of all consumer spending right now. This is because the average person has much less spare income and can't afford to spend, let alone save. Consumer debt is at all time highs and climbing, with no end in sight.

This wasn't something that happened accidentally. In 2005 Citi Group wrote a massive paper foretelling of a "Plutonomy" wherein they saw a future where the average consumer contributes nothing to the economy and all economic growth was based on the spending of ultra elite spenders.

Our current predicament isnt an accident. It's on purpose. It's by design.

You’ve got minutes before they’re on top of you.

Is your defensive position secure, or will it collapse at first contact? 🧵

Knowing how to build a fighting position properly is a lifesaver. Here's how you do it.

Basic Fighting Positions

For as long as man has found it pertinent to kill one another, there has been a need for field construction to build defensive and offensive structures to gain an advantage over an adversary. From the siege towers of medieval Europe to the hastily built trenches of modern Ukraine, fighters have felled many trees and dug many pits to defend positions, obfuscate their location, and protect them from fire. While every rifleman is not a combat engineer, every rifleman should have a repertoire of the basic fighting positions that they can dig in the field under their belt.

Fighting positions are more than simple holes to hide in during artillery barrages. Fighting positions do provide a lot of protection from enemy fire, shrapnel from explosives, and other forms of indirect fire but they also provide an easy way to organize a team into fields and sectors of fire to overwatch large areas with little overlap. Positions can be built in a manner that allows units to defend a location of any shape or size, offering opportunities for even full 360-degree coverage if the situation demands it.

Position selection.

When selecting a location for a fighting position the acronym of KOCOA is commonly utilized for assessing prime locations for fighting positions. KOCOA is often used for tactical and strategic battlefield analysis. The letters stand for:

K – Key Terrain: Key terrain is terrain features that give a tactical advantage to either side or it may be an objective that must be taken or held. This could be a hill, ridge, gulley, bridge, or a building that oversees an area with a lot of enemy movement. Key terrain should be occupied or at the very least, denied to the enemy.

O – Observation and Fields of Fire: The ability to see your enemy and effectively engage them with direct or indirect fire is a core necessity of a proper fighting position. Fields of fire should be clear. Examples of an ideal field of fire would be down the slope of a hill or across an open field as both provide excellent line of sight for the defender while minimizing their own visual signature (especially for the one looking down a hill, these are some of the best fighting position locations).

C – Cover and Concealment: Cover protects from bullets and shrapnel while concealment hides one from view. Ideally a fighting position should offer both protection and stealth. If a decision must be made for only of those, the selection of which will depend entirely on circumstances unique to the situation such as the enemy, the team and their abilities, the objective, etc.

O – Obstacles: Obstacles will slow or halt enemy movement. Obstacles can be natural such as rives and cliffs or manmade with area denial tools like razor wire and minefields. Positions should be placed behind or beside obstacles in order to funnel enemy movement into the team’s fields of fires.

A - Avenues of Approach: Routes in which the enemy force can use to advance toward the team or their objective are the avenues of approach. These should be covered with fields of fire. Positions should not be on or in these areas unless there are no other options as they place the team in direct confrontation with the opposing force.

While the acronym is clumsy like most military acronyms, KOCOA provides leaders with a simple tool to identify strong areas for positions to be placed to better confront their enemy.

The U.S. military has been warning about this problem for over a decade and Ukraine just proved them right.

Area denial isn’t about winning ground. It’s about making movement impossible. 🧵

Area denial, sometimes referred to as anti-access, is a common military tactic to control the access into and out of an area. Area denial is a particularly useful tool for irregular forces such as smaller special forces teams, guerrillas, and militias. The US military considers the adoption of area denial strategies by adversarial forces as, “[something] that may well be the most difficult operational challenge US forces will face over the coming decades.” While that quote may be from 2012 (JOAC 17 January 2012), it still rings true and can be seen in areas such as Ukraine where FPV drones create zones that units can only enter at their own peril. Area denial is a powerful tool in the strategic toolbox for units to make use of to help slow or fully stop the movement of enemy forces through an area. As usual, little disclaimer right here.

THIS IS NOT ADVICE TO GO DO ANYTHING ILLEGAL. DO NOT BREAK THE LAW. DO NOT CONSIDER BREAKING THE LAW. I DO NOT SUPPORT ANY EXTREMIST ORGANIZATIONS OR MOVEMENTS. I DO NOT SUPPORT ANY INSURRECTIONIST MOVEMENTS. I DO NOT ADVOCATE FOR ANY EXTREMIST ORGANIZATIONS, MOVEMENTS, OR IDEAOLOGIES. PLEASE DON’T DRONE STRIKE ME.

Key Principles.

Prior to getting into the various forms of area denial and how they are employed, the key ideas behind it need to be explained. Beginning with the economy of effort. That is to say, the goal of creating the greatest effect with the least amount of effort. If we want to stop an enemy in an area, you can position an army in an area but that requires men, supplies, logistics, weapons, and more that you have to take away from other areas. Instead, if you can leave behind a series of traps with only a handful of men, you maximize your defensive capabilities without having to throw piles of resources at the issue.

Area denial is also a very robust strategy that can be used in rural or urban environments, different strategies and tools can be employed in different environments. Whether the force is denying a road in a mountainous area or a series of fields in the flatlands of Iowa, area denial can be employed to great success.

Area denial strategies also synergize well with other common defensive measures and can create overall plans of defense that are iron clad despite having limited equipment or manpower. For example, making use of observation posts operating as an observer for an FPV unit or an ambush that triggers when an enemy unit triggers a trap. This allows the already amplified force to be multiplied by an even greater factor.

Finally, is the psychological impact that area denial tactics have. Creating a zone of alienation that units cannot enter lest they put themselves in peril creates a heavy sense of unease in the enemy, weakening their fighting spirit. Couple this with any losses gained in the area, it can force smaller sized units in the area to think twice about entering the area and overall hurt the morale of the enemy.

🧵In a SHTF scenario, you won’t have air support or armor. You’ll have a few neighbors and a plan.

If that plan doesn’t include a dedicated Support by Fire element, you’ve already lost the initiative.

The math of the maneuver: 🧵

Support by Fire

Mutual fire support is three words that can mean a lot of things. It encompasses any form of direct or indirect forms of fire support. It can come from artillery and mortars, naval guns, CAS, and drones. It also has another form that is less discussed, the art of support by fire (I stole that phrasing from an infantry magazine).

Support by fire is conducted by a maneuver force or unit wherein the goal is to physically observe the enemy and engage them with direct and indirect fires. For the purposes of this article, the focus will be primarily focused on direct fire as I have no knowledge of weapon systems such as javelins, Bradley IFVs, TOW missiles, or main battle tanks. Support by fire is best conducted by a separate team supporting a primary assaulting team but the battlespace can be very fluid and demanding on limited resources. Support by fire can be conducted either as a form of mutual support (elements assisting each other reciprocally) or as a standard form of support.

A support by fire mission can be a lifesaving operation for a unit that is either about to attack an enemy element or is actively defending against one.

As usual, little disclaimer right here. THIS IS NOT ADVICE TO GO DO ANYTHING ILLEGAL. DO NOT BREAK THE LAW. DO NOT CONSIDER BREAKING THE LAW. I DO NOT SUPPORT ANY EXTREMIST ORGANIZATIONS OR MOVEMENTS. I DO NOT SUPPORT ANY INSURRECTIONIST MOVEMENTS. I DO NOT ADVOCATE FOR ANY EXTREMIST ORGANIZATIONS, MOVEMENTS, OR IDEAOLOGIES. PLEASE DON’T DRONE STRIKE ME.

Recon and Preparation.

Prior to the actual engagement where the team will be employed, the team leader needs to perform a reconnoiter of the area where they will be supporting the attacking team. The leader needs to take things into account such as terrain, cover, concealment, sightlines, the enemy’s location, and the location of the team they are supporting. The team leader needs to weigh all of these factors to best identify where their team will set up to engage the enemy while ensuring their own ability to defend themselves.

Once the team leader has identified the location, they need to move their team up to the last piece of hard cover or concealment prior to reaching the point and have the team ready up. This is a good time for the team to cache any excess materials they may be carrying such as a heavy ruck or assault pack loaded with MREs.

Following this, the team must advance undetected to the point they will be supporting from. This is crucial because if the team is discovered, they risk falling under enemy fire and preventing their ability to conduct their support mission. Ideally, this means a low crawl. It sucks. It’s slow. It’s a hassle. But it is better than risking discovery.

Once the team has arrived, the team leader needs to determine the emplacement of their team elements. The calculus of this changes depending on the quantity and type of weapons systems and men at his disposal. If the team is setting up with an emplaced machine gun, things are different than say, three automatic riflemen and a guy with an M203. A team leader will employ the use of the dumbest acronym ever developed OKOCA (sometimes OCOKA, sometimes OCKAO, I have seen it in like 8 forms at this point lol) for this exact moment. OKOCA stands for O – observation and fields of fire, K – key terrain, O – obstacles, C – cover and concealment, and A – avenues of approach.

🧵A lot of you are terminally blackpilled. You are doing exactly what they want.

The incessant and obscene messaging is rooted in a 70-year-old blueprint for breaking the human will, rooted in the Korean War.

Understand the mechanisms and break yourself and others free:

Modern social engineering is a very refined version of the Thought Reform techniques the Chinese pioneered during the Korean War.

In these camps, beatings and physical torture took second chair to mental anguish and group ostracization.

The same tools that were utilized to try and create human robots that would espouse Chinese communism over 70 years ago are still being utilized today to manipulate populations and society as a whole.

First, we need to establish the history of this procedure and what it initially entailed...

Thought Reform and Brainwashing During the Korean War.

After capturing US soldiers, the Chinese military interned these men into camps where they were focused on turning them into tools of the state. Soldiers that would admit to crimes they did not commit such as saying they used chemical or biological agents in the field to hurt the United States on the international stage. The theory also held that after returning them home, the soldiers would carry their new programming and spread it among the US, leading to a communist revolt such as the one conducted by Mao. There were 7 key aspects to the Chinese brainwashing program. They were as follows: milieu control, mystical manipulation, confession, self-sanctification through purity, loading the language, doctrine over person, and dispensing of existence. We will delve into each of these.

🧵Most prepared citizens want to be fit.

Most people have no idea where to start.

Here’s the no-BS guide to getting there. 🧵

Getting Fit:

It’s no surprise that most people in the US and Western civilization as a whole are not physically active enough. Many people are overweight, have little muscle endurance, and absolutely no cardiovascular ability. By not maintaining some basic level of physical fitness one is put at much higher risk for various health conditions such as heart disease, strokes, type 2 diabetes, and a number of cancers by up to 40% in some cases. From a more practical and less abstract approach, US Army data shows that soldiers with higher aerobic capacity and muscle endurance had less non-combat injuries in the field, as well as being more effective in their roles in the field.

From a prepping perspective, not being mildly to moderately fit puts yourself at a massive disadvantage and makes one a liability. Fitness means you can do the physical tasks such as walking home with a 30 pound get-home (bug out) bag, it means you can haul water from a body to your home for purification, it means you can cut up and remove the fallen tree after the tornado in your front yard, it means you can properly engage a potential threat if the fight lasts longer than a minute. Prepping is often thought of a “hobby” where you are just hoarding goods and items (something I have fought vehemently against and wrote 2 books because of it), as a byproduct of that mentality, the body is often neglected. Both from a medical perspective and a fitness perspective. Prepping is as much about “weathering the storm,” as it is about being able to effectively operate after it. You can’t be a basement shut-in forever.

Thankfully getting a basic level of fitness doesn’t require you to become a psychopath who lives in the gym and eats nothing but liver and chicken breast for ever meal. You can make minor adjustments that grow your abilities with TIME without even needing a gym membership! Americans tend to want to go hard and fast with things, expecting instant results, this is one of the many cases where that is not realistic. To become better we must slowly build ourselves up. The purpose of this piece is to help those who are just starting find initiative, assess their current abilities, build a weekly exercise regimen, and then stick to it. I also want to briefly touch on diet at the tail end of this.

Assessing Current Abilities.

Before determining what sort of exercise plan one is going to adhere to, they need to determine what their current abilities are. This unfortunately is a usually a very humbling experience and needs to happen. Without knowing what one’s limitations are, they risk injury, overtraining, or wasting time on an inappropriate plan.

Cardiovascular endurance can be tested in a high impact and low impact test, ideally one performs both. The high impact test begins with a 5 minute walk, then try to cover 1.5 miles as fast as one can without harming themselves. This does not mean push yourself beyond your limits and risk injury. If you need to stop or walk, that’s okay. After achieving 1.5 miles the time taken is noted and checked against a generic reference. If it takes less than 13 minutes, one is an above average point for a beginner, for between 13 and 16 minutes, that is a relatively average start point, and if it is longer than 16 minutes, they are below average (and that is okay!). The low impact test is a 6 minute walk on a flat surface and after 6 minutes the distance is noted, healthy adults often exceed 500 to 600 meters (~1600-1900 feet). Note all of this information for the next section and for goal planning.

Testing muscular strength likewise is a relatively quick process and does not require any specific equipment, bodyweight is a decent enough baseline. Begin with testing pushups, see how many you can do without breaking form. If you can’t even do one, try knee pushups, if you can’t do one, try against a wall! Then try squats, perform as many as you can in one set. Then try a pull up if you have a pull-up bar (very cheap online and cheaper if bought used), if you cannot do one, try a flexed arm hang, if you can’t do longer than a second, note it. Finally try a forearm plank and hold it as long as you can with good form. Note all of this information for the next section and for goal planning.

You can also test your mobility and flexibility with a sit and reach test where you sit flat on the ground, legs extended, knees straight, and reach forward. Not being able to reach past your toes is generally regarded as a negative score and is something to work on.
