Colt Gray, of Apalachee School Shooting, looks transgender, and was referred to as such in some Twitter posts. The details of this circumstance are not known at this time. Let us put aside for now the biological issues related to this condition, including the hormonal imbalance and possible psychotic states, which by themselves raise the subject of these persons’ ability to handle firearms.
Let us take a broader look by placing this incident (less than two months after Trump’s “miraculous divine salvation” in Butler Farm Show shooting) within the framework of the international situation, marked by the two noticeable events: Pope Francis’ visit to the South East Asia, with the historic visit to Istiqlal mosque and Putin’s visit to the Far East, and, among other events, his meeting on 9.4.24 with Anwar Ibrahim, whose name and life are associated with the multi-faceted subject of Homosexuality and Politics. Note the Putin’s probing glance on this photo.
I do not think that Putin personally, as a human being, has any particular problems with these issues. As a politician, I think he would sleep with the Devil himself, and many times over, if it advanced his goals. However, in the religious – ideological – political matters it is different for him, forever the soldier of the KGB, and now of its Ideology and Propaganda Department, namely the ROC.
The Vatican issued two documents recently, one approving the blessings of gay unions, and another warning against the forcible, surgical changes of the assigned biological gender.
ROC maintains the conservative stance on these psychosexual issues. More than that, both the ROC and Kremlin made their vehement, militant opposition to the LGBT Rights a cornerstone of their common ideology, their state-church neo-Byzantine Symphonia, which they play on every street corner, like the dedicated Moscow musicians, and as ridiculously as the circus clowns in suits and robes. The tragic and despicable October 7 attack on Israel, the GRU Pogrom may be the example of this attitude, with the frankly homophobic and beastly attack on the SuperNova Re’im Musical Gay Festival at its center.
Putin feels himself a Christian Czar with a global mission: to uphold the “traditional family values” and to teach the World a lesson on the proper sexual behavior and the mortal dangers of the deviation from it, as he demonstrates in his intimidation cum propaganda endeavors, including the mass and school shootings: As the “punishment from God”.
That’s how it looks to me, in my humble opinion.
How does he do it? Ask Spetsnaz. They know.
