How many times have we seen law enforcement officials telling Congress about violent right-wing extremists, Betsy Ross flags and Catholic Mass? When the actual violence is coming from a very different direction?

A lethal explosion in Palm Springs this weekend did more than the immediate damage to people and property at the fertility clinic it was targeting. It did real harm to a carefully manicured political narrative about where the real threat comes from.

In the past year, we’ve had two attempts on Trump’s life, (besides Iran’s fatwa on Trump and some others) a rash of sexually confused people firebombing Tesla properties, a foiled ISIS attack on a base in Michigan, and now this. That tracks with the scathing rebuke of the FBI’s burying of the explicitly political leftwing motives of the baseball shooting. Is it time to finally admit that we’ve all been lied to for years by the people whose job it is to keep us safe from the ACTUAL violent extremists?

The event itself:

On Saturday, at 11am local, a car bomb exploded near a fertility clinic in Palm Springs California. One person was killed, and about four people were among the injured. There was significant damage to the building. An iPhone was on a tripod nearby, pointed at that location and set up as if to video or live stream the incident. It is not clear whether that streaming attempt was successful.

No staff or patients were harmed at the clinic, nor, ironically, were any of the embryos damaged. (Despite the alleged manifesto’s explicit hostility to human life generally.

Authorities have determined it was, indeed, a deliberate act of terrorism.

The attacker

There was one fatality at the scene who was found next to the detonated vehicle, and FBI believes that fatality to be their primary suspect, 25yo Guy Edward Bartkus. Dad, who ‘has not seen him in a decade’ was shocked by the news. ‘Not the person he remembers.’

Someone close to Guy (perhaps a relative) named Sophie recently died, killed in what he had described as ‘suicide’ by her ‘preferred method’, being shot while she slept by the man with whom she was living. She shared his anti-life views, and they had made a pact that if one dies, the other would end their life too.

The motive

Authorities have confirmed that the manifesto being associated with his name is part of the investigation.

Both he and Sophie subscribed to an anti-life movement (anti-natlaist) that decry the fact that children ‘don’t ask to be born’ as a kind of injustice.

Here’s a post that includes screen shots of the alleged manifesto. Interesting how the writings (if authentic) specifically address claims that he’s motiviated by ‘mere’ nihilism.

The man who died bombing the fertility clinic in Palm Springs, Calif. allegedly did it as an act of war against the pro-life and pro-natalist movement. A manifesto allegedly written by the man was posted online before the bombing.

Notice how he’s basically parroting the villain in The Matrix, where all of humanity was compared to a ‘virus’ and a ‘plague’ upon the planet.

His rage against God, specifically the God of the Christian Bible may be as close as he gets to an honest assessment of the real reason behind his motives.

Interestingly, this is the same rage against Christianity that is becoming more and more common in the public statements of elected Democrats.

This might be a good time to mention the Biden administration’s rabid determination to incarcerate any offence in the name of FACE Act violations against abortion-related facilities, but ZERO interest in upholding that very same legislation when pro-life facilities were vandalized and firebombed.

Isn’t it nice to have someone in charge that no longer shrinks from calling out acts of terrorism that come from groups that ‘ought not be criticized’?
