Robin Westman, Minneapolis transgender shooter
Dr James Allan – The Daily Sceptic Sept 4, 2025
Last year when I was asked to write a chapter for a US book on the incredible inroads and attacks on our civil liberties during the thuggish Covid lockdown years I decided, in part, to rank the worst offending groups. The lawyerly and doctorly castes were bad. They were woeful in fact. But the politicians as a class, the ones who ultimately made the calls, were worse – and there were very few exceptions to that generalised claim, as any Australian knows who looks for politicians who, say, resigned from Cabinet on principle (nada, zero) or who spoke up publicly and loudly against the massive authoritarian over-reach and aping of the policies of the Chinese Communist Politburo (a mere handful at most). So I gave the silver medal for thuggish lockdown commitment and stalwart thuggery to the political class. However, in terms of letting all of us citizens down I reserved the gold medal for the journalists of the legacy media. As a class they exhibited no scepticism. No thinking for themselves. They were fearmongers and PR agents for the modellers, public health gurus, ‘nudge’ manipulators and politicos. Yes, there were some brave exceptions. But very few. What we got from the legacy media was a sort of attempt to play the type of media you’d see in George Orwell’s 1984, dealing in Big Brother doublethink. And all of that is on top of the verifiably huge drift towards the political Left of the legacy media over the last few decades.
Well, if you were hoping things would get noticeably better after the lockdowns ended, they haven’t. For just one instance, let me take you to the murders of two young children and the wounding of at least 17 others in Minneapolis, Minnesota last week. It took place at a Catholic school with the murderer shooting at random through a stained-glass window during the first school mass of the academic year. The legacy media embarrassed itself reporting on this because it went against all the progressive class’s and legacy media’s (but I repeat myself) deeply held shibboleths and Left-wing bromides. You see the murderer was a man, Robert Westman, who back in 2020 had changed his first name to Robin and come out as transgender. He said he was now a female. And he hated Donald Trump. And he left behind a sort of manifesto that oozed antisemitism along with other bits of nastiness.
How to report this? How to report this, while still genuflecting before the progressive worldview? Life for the legacy media is just so much easier when a multiple shooter is a white, heterosexual male, preferably with conservative leanings. Then the details can be reported pronto. And the label ‘white nationalist’ will just be begging to be used. Alas, it was not to be. So on the transgender front the legacy media tied itself in knots. NBC News described the shooter as “a person in her early 20s”. The New York Times also used ‘she’ to describe the murderer. CNN talking heads worried about ‘misgendering’ the person who had killed two primary school kids and wounded 17 others, some severely. These journalists definitely know what’s important in a story, don’t they? The Washington Post got itself in a bit of a conundrum because, as it reported, “it is unclear how the shooter identified at the time of the incident”. Likewise, the NPR that President Trump has just defunded wrote that we “do not know how the person currently identified” while the very Left-leaning Associated Press told readers “the shooter’s gender identity wasn’t clear”. Oh, and on CNN the former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, the man embroiled up to his neck in the Russian collusion scam against Donald Trump, made a point of calling the trans murderer by his preferred identity: “I’m sure [the killer’s mother] is grieving for her daughter” – also somewhat misdirecting the first port of call for sympathy you might think.
Meantime no legacy media outlet that I know of mentioned the fact that an awful lot of recent mass school shootings have been committed by transgender murderers – in Denver, Nashville, Uvalde, Georgia, Aberdeen, Philadelphia, the list goes on. In fact, it is a massively disproportionate number of such crimes being committed by transgender school shooters, a point I make for all the identity politics Lefties out there who insist on seeing the world in terms of groups.
I agree with the growing numbers of people who say the two most likely reasons for this are a) gender dysphoria is a severe mental illness which right now is not being treated as mental illness, but instead is being humoured and encouraged. Or, b) transgender people who transition are being subjected to intense doses of drugs that may be having an unpredictable effect on their behaviour or aggravating their pre-existing mental illness. Because let’s be honest. If you told someone you were Napoleon Bonaparte trapped in the wrong body that person would not make empathy his main response and cater to your self-delusion. He would try to explain that there is a mind-independent truth about the external, causal world. Likewise, the 47 year-old cannot identify as a 13 year-old to win some sporting competition. Because however he feels or whatever his preferences, he is not 13 years old. Again, the white woman doesn’t get to be black just because that’s what she would like and is how she sees herself. As one US commentator rightly noted after this Minnesota tragedy, “The trans movement has been a disaster in every way and should be re-examined from the ground up.” And the higher up the socio-economic ladder you go, the more sympathy you find for this toxic empathy. Rich, white women seem to be the most in its thrall.
The other big difficulty for the legacy media in reporting this shooting was the fact that the shooter hated Trump and wasn’t all-in on MAGA. Indeed, this shooter, Robert Westwood, had written “kill Donald Trump” on his gun. Now, how could they report that without pushing a characterisation that would help the current US President (a.k.a. ‘Hitler’)? Well, one of the terrestrial, longstanding main US TV networks tried to square that circle by reporting that the murderer had “Donald Trump’s name on his gun”. Yes, you read that sleight of hand correctly. Still want to know why the legacy media is dying and why conservatives, especially, no longer trust anything that they are being told by these partisan hacks? Why supposed Right-of-centre politicians pay any attention to these legacy media journalists is beyond me. Just look and see how Donald Trump and Pierre Poilievre treat them with disdain and copy that.

Justice Department talks about banning transgender gun owners spark fury with LBGT groups
Story by Alanna Durkin Richer • 12h •
The Justice Department is drawing swift condemnation from gun rights groups and LGBTQ advocates alike after floating that it was considering restricting transgender people and other disturbed characters from owning guns — a move that would all but certainly face immediate constitutional challenges if ever implemented.
A certificate of sanity will soon be necessary for gun ownership
Shabana Mahmood appointed Home Secretary amid pressure to stop the migrants
Story by Anahita Hossein-Pour • Newly appointed Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is set to take on one of the toughest briefs in Government as pressure mounts over record migrant gangs, asylum hotels migrant sex attacks and general migration.
simple just send them back, its a no brainer
As lord chancellor and justice secretary over the past year, Mrs Mahmood herself a migrant has been tasked with tackling the jail overcrowding crisis and has just introduced major legislation to Parliament to overhaul the prison system earlier this week.

The msm won’t get into MK Ultra and the creation of mass shooters and the transgender fad; you have to go to people like Cathy O’ Brien, and be at war with the msm
“Gender dysphoria” is evidence of Mind Control.
The whole thing is a Tavistock tar baby, a ruse to get unstable people to commit savage crimes against the vulnerable.
The news media is complicit. Just last week Chloe Grace Moretz, former child actress from the goofy KICK ASS movie, got “married” to another woman in a posh ceremony. We’re looking at serious perversion here.
As long as they get away with these sick weddings and whatever, regular humans are under siege. We have to consider everything they do a psyop against us.

IMO the rise of the transgender murderer – in so far as they actually exist – is to manage the conservative/right wing antithesis to the thesis of the left. This is also know as the Punch and Judy theatre many here recognise.
TPTB are seeking to create and control the natural loathing of the transgenders among normal folk. This is done by pushing all the LGBT down our throats while KNOWING there is repulsion to this agenda. TPTB control the passions of the “moral majority” by manipulating people and media to steer the feelings of outrage. The “cherry on the cake” of this outrage manoeuvring is a “shooting”. We may recall that Lee Harvey Oswald was characterised as a “communist” after JFK was shot – not that he was the shooter anyway. (It was Charles Nicoletti and James Files)
Above the transgender business – and fellow useful idiot travellers like BLM – is the need to raise fashion political systems favourable to the colony of Israel. In maneuvering the voter towards Trump and Farage, TPTB are creating nationalist safety valves for the Goyim while almost certainly allowing the the terrorist state to increase its operations in the Middle East. To wit, I wouldn’t be surprised if fake Islamic terrorism also increased to help the “Safety Valve” as well as Israel.
TPTB don’t have to be original in their plays as the consciousness of the many remains the same. The same stuff continually works because in so far as people care what is going on in the world, they tend to be knee-jerk rather than methodical and dispassionate in their thinking.
The feeding of people’s “outrage” is like the development of junk food by “food scientists” that feed hormonal desires rather than giving genuine nutrition. Not for the first time I observe that if the individual feels “outrage” they are being played by TPTB.
Bottom line – TPTB NEED OUTRAGE TO STEER POLITICS.
The trans movement is about playing God and making millions of dollars in profits. Remember, the usual criminal agencies are at it again. The chemical/pharmaceutical co. add Atrazine to everything to confuse children with this synthetic hormone. This last fake trans shooting – was a fake false flag as oppose to a real false flag. It is all to divide and conquer, that is the usual modus operandi. The objective is to instill fear in people so they can dissolve some of the constitution amendments like take away guns, free speech etc. Yes, the world over is being controlled, operated by organized criminals at the top of the pyramid.
“Legacy Media”?? Another euphemism for the JEW Media! Call it what it IS! The JEW media!
I’m sick & tired of these chickenshits using euphemisms for JEWRY!!!! Tell it like it is or shut the fuck up!
Antisemitism nasty? Methinks not!
‘One God, one faith, one Spirit, one baptism…,’ The reality that the called but unchosen cannot receive.
as long perversion is promoted it is a sign that
the Power richThat Be want to legalize it until
perversion becomes normal + healthy is unhealthy .
a big recruiting stock of moraly disturbed characters .
perverts needs Pentagon, CIA, FBI; MI5+6 + Mossad .
@ HAUNTESS
there are no chosen or unchosen . it is
just a jewish egotrip + paranoia .
The stammering pussy that shit out this piece stated, “And he left behind a sort of manifesto that oozed antisemitism along with other bits of nastiness.” … “oozed antisemitism”?? Fuuuuuuck you. The sniveling shit weasel lost me right there.
The limp-wristed imbecile started by moaning about “attacks on our civil liberties during the thuggish Covid lockdown years”, and blamed everyone in the “lawyerly and doctorly castes “, the politicians and politicos, and the media stooges, and YES, they all deserve to be chased through the streets and beaten to death for their parts in the convid-19(84) full-spectrum terrorism campaign, and it was as vicious, if not more so, in Lostralia as anywhere, but the limp-wristed coward needs to realize that HE is nearly as guilty since YOU GET THE TREATMENT YOU ALLOW.
There were no “thuggish lockdown years” where I live because many people in my region still have sensible traditional values, a healthy distrust of government, and we are armed to the f*cking teeth. My biggest issue during the convid war was my jaw practically becoming unhinged over and over in shock at what cowardly people in many other areas would allow to be done to them by regime apparatchiks. The worst that happened where I am was restaurants closed for a few weeks, which was a blessing since most of the food around here tastes like sawdust compared to where I’m from, and the few places that asked me to strap a diaper to my face when I walked in didn’t say jack shit further to me when I responded with a “No” and went about my business. It probably helped that I’m 6’3″ and a physical specimen, but the power of a simple “no” may amaze you.
The doctors, lawyers. politicos, media hacks, high-viz goons, and financiers all have names, and those names have addresses. The next time that regime scum start slapping you around with a giant rubber dong and piss in your face, and there will be a next time since so many sheep allowed them to plow you and yours in the ass last time, you don’t need a gun, as a screwdriver plunged into the right part of a body is just as effective. If you have the yarbles, that is.
If you want change for the better, than you’d better be prepared to literally fight for it.
Legacy Media’s credibility is not even saved by them being called “quality media”
Quality media ….what a joke
Chosenness is a term misused and abused by the sons of Satan in our times.
Today I think, but may be mistaken, it hasn’t so much reason to exist….
But in early, very early times, before even the creation of ancient Israel, it existed and had a solid reason to be.
One example is Noah who was chosen to survive the flood. – (Mockers beware – worldwide there are more than 200 different narrations of the flood, all coinciding in the essential points).
And from the start of humankind, in Genesis 3, we learn that there exist two seedlines within humanity that were to be kept apart until the arrival of the savior also promised in Genesis, because the savior couldn’t be in any way be contaminated or corrupted with the satanic seedline. Here lies the reason for “chosenness”.
BTW, the efforts we see today for mongrelizing everything have not so much to do with making us all brown but rather to contaminate everything with the satanic lineage. Jew haters should keep in mind that “Jews” can be blonde, white, brown, black, Chinese, japanese etc. In other words, this is an issue that goes beyond racial . No matter what race, the crucial thing is to have been infected with satanic “seed” (genes) via the mother .
The satanic seedline is the driving force behind secret societies like freemasonry, satanism, etc as well of the “mystery” cults, and that’s the reason why I keep advising people against having anything to do with them. Why be useful idiots for the satanic seedline?
“chosenness” (continuation)
Don’t have anything to do with any of the many devices of the satanic seedline, no matter what they promise you.
For example, there are cities and entire countries in which you just can’t ascend socially or be successful in business without belonging to freemasonry.
But, as the bible says: of what benefit is for you winning the entire world if with that you lose your soul?
(Or, the true life)
