The transgender killer Robin/Robert Westman was known to give Nazi salutes, but many of his writings were encrypted in a code of Russian words. The latter may be the key to understanding what motivates him/her—for the ability to understand and speak in a foreign language one does not know is considered evidence of demon possession, according to religious experts on exorcism. “Where is your God?” was written on one of his ammunition magazines.

If Westman was in fact demon-possessed, how did this happen? The answer may lie in the Russian entries and their origin, his/her exposure to transgenderism, or his marijuana addiction, a habit that can spark psychosis and which apparently led to his employment by a local “cannabis dispensary.”

There is no indication that the 23-year-old Westman was trained in or learned the Russian language, even though he used the language in his journals, and so his “Russian connections” are worth scrutiny, especially from the FBI.

But does FBI director Kash Patel, a Hindu who took his oath of office on a Hindu Holy book, The Bhagavad-Gita, know what he is dealing with?

As we scheduled a Rumble TV broadcast on this sensitive subject, analyst Trevor Loudon told me in advance that he suspected the assault on the Catholic kids in Minneapolis may be linked to occult influences emanating from Russia that inspired several other mass murderers. The common link is the “Black Sun,” a Nazi symbol now associated with National Bolsehevism in Russia, a movement behind the revival of the Russian empire under Christian pretenses called Eurasianism.

Loudon cited Payton Gendron, who killed 10 people at a supermarket in Buffalo, New York. “He was an open National Bolshevik who wore the famous National Bolshevik symbol and admired Brenton Tarrant, a mass shooter from New Zealand who killed people in two mosques in 2019,” Loudon points out. Tarrant’s ideological outlook appears to be consistent with that of the “National Bolsheviks,” Loudon says.

The objectives seem to be to spark race wars and religious conflict in the West.

At a time when the secular media cry out for “the motive” in the Minneapolis attacks, we hark back to the comments of Pope Francis, hardly a staunch conservative on such theological matters, who declared that transgender ideology had a “diabolical” or demonic appeal. Catholics must consider the murders in Minneapolis to be an expression of Satan’s power and the challenge is to identify where these demonic influences come from, and how they can be neutralized.

As we discuss in our new 28-page report, Russia is Still the Evil Empire, so-called “queer communism,” designed to destroy the traditional family, was a feature of the early years of communist Russia and was then exported to the West through the Frankfurt School.

Some writers mention Westman’s Russian language entries, including references to listening to Russian rock bands, but then dismiss the significance of this fact.

An exception was a journalist from Ukraine who wrote a perceptive article noting that the killer scrawled desperate Russian phrases throughout his notebook, such as “kill yourself”, “who am I?”, “when will this end?”, “help me!”, “I don’t want to.”

The words sound like a person under the control of demons, or Satan.

The Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey immediately attacked the notion that thoughts and prayers for the victims of Westman were warranted and yet that is precisely the response that Christians should have. It is a religious interpretation of this phenomenon that we desperately need, and that may come through prayer, not psychology or “violence prevention” programs.

But if the case represents the influence of Satan, the explanation as to how the world must respond may be found in a book by Cristian Derosa, a Brazilian conservative writer, entitled The Russian Black Sun: The Occult Roots of Eurasianism.

In the final analysis, Westman’s marijuana connection may prove to be important, and RFK Jr. is correct to want to investigate possible influence on the killer by SSRI or mental health "psych meds" sold by Big Pharma.

But it would be a grave mistake for Kash Patel’s FBI to ignore the spiritual dimension.

The Nazi/Russia link may seem strange to some, but the Hitler-Stalin Pact started World War II and the facts show that Adolf Hitler's National Socialism or Nazi ideology was based on Marxism. “In public,” notes George Watson, author of The Lost Literature of Socialism, “Hitler was always anti-Marxist....” but privately “acknowledged his profound debt to the Marxian tradition” and stated explicitly that “I have learned a great deal from Marxism....”

Karl Marx, the father of communism, was a Satanist. The common theme in Nazism and communism is facilitating civil war and conflict based on racial, class, or religious differences.

But conservative Christian authors aren’t the only scholars drawing attention to this problem.

The academia.edu paper “The Occult Revival in Russia Today and Its Impact on Literature,” describes how “post-Soviet Russia” has embraced New Age and occult ideas, even what the author—German academic Birgit Menzel—calls “dark” or “evil forces.”

“The occult has always been used for different ends, for purposes that range from benignly spiritual to totalitarian or fascist,” she writes.

One of many fascinating revelations from Menzel’s well-researched 2007 article is that Alexander Dugin, now a political adviser to Putin, has incorporated some of these ideas into his theory of Eurasianism.

He happens to be an advocate of genocide against Ukraine.

This is the same Dugin who was photographed meeting with former American Ku Klux Klan leader and neo-Nazi David Duke in Russia. Duke argues, like many Russian nationalists, that communism was imposed on Russia by a Jewish banker conspiracy.

Robert Zubrin, author of several articles about Dugin, points out the similarities between the National Socialism of Hitler and Dugin’s original National Bolshevism.

Equally troubling, there are reports that Dugin’s vision of a resurgent Russia is built in part on the ideas of Aleister Crowley (1875-1947), a Satanist who described himself as the “Beast 666,” or Antichrist, of the Book of Revelation.

Some analysts say Crowley, who visited Russia twice (in 1898 and in 1913), was a mastermind of an international conspiracy rooted in Satanism, and that he helped the Communists in Russia and that his philosophy played a role in the subsequent rise of the Nazis in Germany.

Hence, they came together in the Hitler-Stalin Pact but Hitler turned on Stalin, leading to his ultimate defeat in Europe, leaving territory conquered by the Nazis in the hands of the Russian communists.

Germany went through de-Nazification but Russia never experienced decommunization, although Putin went through an extreme makeover designed to obscure his KGB connections and transform him into an international spokesman for tradition and morality.

The deception continues.
