Those Minnesota Political Assassination’s, How the CBC “Normalizes” and Advocates for Illegal Aliens in Canada, What Would Yuri Bezmenov Say + Fake Spike Proteins and Fake Viruses
Those Minnesota Political Assassination’s
Our first piece tonight is about a double murder and the political propaganda surrounding it. We begin with the simple facts from what the legacy media considers to be trusted sources.
As outlined in the June 14th, 2025 New York Times post, “Manhunt for Suspect in Political Assassination Rattles Minnesota,” Minnesota police are currently hunting for a suspect, Vance Boelter, 57, in relation to the killing of a state representative Melissa Hortman, the shooting of another state senator and the potential for further shootings of state politicians.
Next we move on to a local account of what’s going on, the June 14th, 2025 Stockholm Sentinel on “X” account of the event. It’s got more context and more propaganda:
Rep. Melissa Hortman callously betrayed her constituents and (Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party) DFL colleagues, casting the lone vote for a bill to repeal Minnesota care for undocumented adults, undermining weeks of bipartisan budget negotiations.
Today, she and her husband, Mark, were assassinated at home.
As outlined in the June 14th, 2025 Daily Mail post, “Who is Vance Boelter? Tim Walz appointee with armed security training in Africa named as suspect in Minnesota Democrat shootings,” the suspect named in the shooting has ”armed security experience and a history of public service.”
The accused is also linked to the attempted murder of state senator John Hoffman, who crossed party lines over the the same bill, and Hoffman’s wife.
As outlined in the June 14th, 2025 Cryptagon post, “Former Appointee of Democratic Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Impersonates Cop, Murders State Senator and Her Husband, Wounds Others:”
Hortman and her husband were fatally shot at their home on around 2am on Saturday. Hoffman and his wife were also shot at their home around 4am and left critically injured.
Media coverage from outlets like Reuters, CNN, ABC News, and The Guardian, along with X posts, framed the incident as a stark example of escalating political violence in the US by tying the assassinations to anti-Trump sentiment, potentially pushing a narrative that blames one political side while ignoring broader societal factors like the mental health of the accused or any personal grudges he might hold.
The June 15th, 2025 ABC News post, “Minnesota assassination suspect Vance Boelter allegedly had dozens of Democrats on a list,” reports that Boelter’s target list included pro-choice lawmakers and activists, and links both Hortman and Hoffman to abortion rights legislation.
The June 15th, 2024 FOX 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul on YouTube post, “Friend of Vance Boelter: 'He really hated abortion' in the 90s,” goes into some of the theories circulating in the media in a little more detail.
Its worth noting how tentative the media’s exploration of the accused political motivations seem to be.
The political narrative surrounding this story seems rushed and sensationalized.
The March 14th, 2025 Daily Mail post, “Gunman on loose after killer in TERRIFYING Halloween mask launches political assassinations and friend reveals who he voted for,” highlights Boelter’s use of a “Halloween-type mask,” and a “police-like vehicle,” seemingly in an effort to create a cinematic villain image to sensationalize the story for clicks rather than clarify motives.
The press has largely avoided questioning how Boelter obtained such equipment or whether law enforcement oversight failed, potentially deflecting from systemic issues to focus on individual villainy.
As of press time, Vance Boelter’s vehicle and hat have been found and police have arrested his wife.
In this summer of explicitly political “No Kings” and “Anti-ICE” protests in major US cities, the question remains, where does this story go now?
How the CBC “Normalizes” and Advocates for Illegal Aliens in Canada.
The January 9th, 2025 CBC News post, “Undocumented in Canada, she's emerging from the shadows to fight for equal rights,” portrays the hundred’s of thousands of illegal Canadian migrants as simply “undocumented,” attempting to live their life as a “workforce of ghosts,” doing poorly paid manual labor and “work no one else wants to do” with the tacit acceptance of Canada’s elites and privileged middle class who benefit from the situation.
The CBC piece certainly has an editorial stance. It argues that illegal aliens deserve the same “rights” as citizen’s, which seems like a reasonable stance on the surface.
But the CBC piece doesn’t really go into the details of how those rights should include the burden of the same responsibilities which citizen’s are required to carry or the logical consequences, political and otherwise, of accepting so many new people into Canada as citizen’s.
Here’s where CBC falls down.
It suggests that any discussion of the actual consequences of the situation is a “racially charged debate,” where only the CBC’s viewpoint is nuanced and fair.
This perspective doesn’t seem nuanced or fair to the Canadian citizens who fund the CBC’s ongoing operations.
What Would Yuri Bezmenov Say?
It’s hard to understand what’s going on in the current political environment in Canada and the US without referencing Uri Bezmenov, a “chaos agent” according to the 2024 Canada Declassified post, “‘Chaos Agent’ Yuri Bezmenov“ and his discussions on Soviet propaganda and the west.
Bezmenov was a Soviet defector who worked as a journalist for the Novosti Press Agency. He famously defected to the West in 1970 while stationed in New Delhi, India, as part of the Soviet mission. He eventually settled in Canada.
After his defection, Bezmenov gave a series of interviews focused around exposing Soviet “ideological subversion,” and he became known for his warnings about the long-term psychological warfare techniques employed by the KGB against the west.
Here’s a segment from one of those interviews, the June 15th, 2025 Americans United Against The New World Order on Bit-chute post, “The Roots Of The Anti-ICE Riots & The Modern Left As Described By KGB Defector Yuri Bezmenov In 1983.”
Fake Spike Proteins and Fake Viruses
Finally tonight, here’s the May 25th, 2025 Mongo Minds on Bitchute post, “Fake Spike Proteins. Same As Fake Viruses.”
“Roasting the Press,” is an open forum with new media journalists critiquing and complaining about our well funded competitors, the stories they create and the techniques they use.
