Politics as camouflage for mob wars That's what's going on

RT @TracyLConnors: @walterkirn for your “I told you so” evidence folder https://t.co/4vWdRZ3nlH

The political murders in Minnesota strike me as individually targeted. The appearance of a long, long list of potential victims feels like a way to distract from this fact by dissolving the specific killings & the motives for them into some big unfocused hypothetical spree.

Believe absolutely nothing about these Minnesota shootings, including the probably guilt or motivations of the suspect. I'm telling you now that these events, which unduly steer our discourse and our politics, are not what they seem & may not be by chance. This isn't some hunch.

Minnesotas state bird is the loon.

Luigi the spoiled pipsqueak who can't write, judging by his fudgy manifestos & sticky New Age droolings, is doing sit ups in his cell & grinning like a brat over the fact he's safe from harm today while we on the outside fear it. He failed as a creature & wishes you only pain.

The framework is made of dried and polished bullshit, same as it ever was. Draw no morals. Avoid the people who do. Remember what Yeats said about "passionate intensity." Violence is a mind trap every time. Be the Buddha, aloof, content, unmoved. Let the deceivers masquerade.

@traceyjayj sorry, but true @walterkirn - avid to hear your thoughts. I suspect you will understand the framework behind today's MN shooting better than anyone alive.

My neighbors in Livingston, Montana, play it cool today, don't be provoked, and be very wary of riled up "new friends." It's a beautiful day for hiking, fishing, riding, and detailing the car. These political "pseudo events" are often traps, baited with rotten meat. Best avoid.
