He wanted to kill off even more Minnesotan elected officials too. But he's a wacky guy, ate too much hot sauce and it caused his plans to go awry.

Classic knucklehead behavior.

nonsense

Sen. Tina Smith is not running for re-election.

Her seat is completely open. Anyone can run for it. Several people have expressed interest.

>"he was a trump voter"
bros Im so fucking tired of everyone being a filthy fucking liar. Im fucking tired of it. Everyone is so full of shit that the only way to interact with people who arent full of shit is to dig through this hellhole of an imageboard.

Here's the claim: Gov. Tim Walz ordered MAGA madman Vance Boelter to kill a Senator or two, so he, Gov. Walz can run for the Senate.

>>508195040
Well you anchor them too, lol. It's not going to deradicalize anybody though - X is the new /pol/ and we just post shit here that's been there for days already.

Here's the truth: With Sen. Tina Smith not running for re-election, Minnesota has an open Senate seat. Whatever claim this protestant hate preacher made is nonsense.

>>508194954
Wouldn't he have to be to have enough plausible deniability to protect Walz? People are being way too nonchalant about this. Our politicians may be idiots, but they are evil enough to do shit like this.

Boelter, 57, of Green Isle, Minn., studied practical theology and pastoral leadership at the Christ for the Nations Institute in Dallas. He earned a diploma in 1990. The institute describes itself as a "Spirit-filled Bible school" that "offers a place to grow in faith, develop your ministry skills, and live out God’s calling in your life."

Boelter founded a nonprofit charity called Revoformation Ministries Inc. in 2007, according to IRS records. The organization filed 13 annual tax returns between 2007 and 2023, each reporting less than $50,000 in donations.

Revoformation Ministries' website was initially set up to promote a 2006 book by Boelter, "Original Ability."

It has also been reported Vance listened to INFOWARS and was a prepper.

Boelter identified himself on LinkedIn and other websites as the CEO and president of two security services companies, Praetorian Guard Security Services and Red Lion Group, the latter based in DRC, in Central Africa. On his LinkedIn page, which shows that he worked as a general manager at 7-11 in Minneapolis until 2021, he lists himself as open to work.

But in a video dated February 2023, Boelter is seen preaching at La Borne Matadi, a church in Matadi, on the western coast of the DRC. In one sermon he tells the audience that “people don’t know what sex they are” because the devil “has gotten so far into their mind and their soul.”

In another sermon at the church, one of three he gave from 2021 to 2023, according to Wired, Boelter said, “They don’t know abortion is wrong, many churches,” he told the audience. “They don’t have the gifts flowing. God gives the body gifts. To keep balance. Because when the body starts moving in the wrong direction, when they’re one, and accepting the gifts, God will raise an apostle or prophet to correct their course.

“God is going to raise up apostles and prophets in America,” he added, “to correct his church.”

On the now-defunct website for Revoformation, a nonprofit apparently founded by Boelter, a biography said that he was ordained in 1993 and had attended Christ for the Nations Institute in Dallas, a charismatic “Spirit-filled Bible School,” according to its website, that helps develop ministry skills.

The biography said that Boelter had spent time in Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, where, it says, “He sought out militant Islamists in order to share the gospel and tell them that violence wasn’t the answer.”

That fat roommate of his should be kneecapped

But we know that Vance Boelter graduated from Christ for the Nations Institute, a Bible college in Texas. The nonaccredited institute may be somewhat marginal among American evangelicals, but it has been “an anchoring institution” for independent charismatic Christians for half a century, Taylor wrote in this book. Charismatics, as Taylor defined them, “emphasize the supernatural dimensions of Christian experience” in their beliefs and practices; independents are those who are not part of formal denominations. Charismatics have faith in and court direct experience of the Holy Spirit and what they call its gifts. Influential charismatics are now among Trump’s top spiritual advisers, such as Pastor Paula White-Cain, who delivered the invocation at Trump’s first inauguration, in which she referred to the United States as God’s “perfect gift.” Others have risen to prominence along with Trump, such as Lance Wallnau, who has asserted he was first to prophesize Trump’s coming. “Fighting Trump is fighting with God,” Wallnau said in 2020. Wallnau played a key role in mobilizing Christians on January 6, 2021. So did Dutch Sheets, a well-known charismatic who is also one of Christ for the Nation’s most prominent graduates and leaders.

Dutch Sheets may have done more than any other of the independent charismatics to bridge the movement with MAGA. In the period between the 2020 election and January 6, Sheets operated as a “one-man propaganda machine” for Trump (as Taylor and Bradley Onishi, author of Preparing for War: The Extremist History of White Christian Nationalism—and What Comes Next, put it), with his YouTube channel pulling in more than 200,000 views each day. It’s impossible at this point to say whether Boelter followed Sheets, but he comes from the Christian world in which Boelter was also educated and thus offers a window into Boelter’s background and possible motivations. We also don’t know whether Boelter continued to be part of any charismatic Christian communities in the U.S. after his schooling, but, as Taylor explained in a recent episode of the podcast Straight White American Jesus, “he’s very clearly charismatic in his theology and his preaching.”

At Christ for the Nations Institute, Sheets began to be radicalized, Taylor argued. He was exposed to dominion theology, “this idea of Christians taking control of the world to build the Kingdom of God on earth,” Taylor said, as well as the Pentecostal revival movement known as Latter Rain. After graduating, Sheets became a professor at the institute and a pastor at an institute-affiliated church, “a nexus of radicalization,” Taylor said. He would go on to draw together these strains of dominion theology and the Latter Rain to help shape a movement known as the New Apostolic Reformation. In 2013, Sheets was leading the institute, and was honored at graduation ceremony with a gift: a flag featuring a green pine tree on a white field, with the phrase, “An Appeal to Heaven,” with its origins reportedly in a Revolutionary War flag. Sheets interpreted this gift as a sign to activate a new “revolution” in America. He popularized the flag as a kind of Christian battle flag, and in the following decade, it would be carried by dozens of rioters on January 6, flown at the home of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, and erected outside the Capitol Hill office of House Speaker Mike Johnson. This June, it flew briefly over the Washington building housing the Small Business Administration, erected in a ceremony attended by the agency’s head.

In the lobby of Christ for the Nations Institute in early 2024, a mural read, “Everyone ought to pray at least one violent prayer each day,” a quote from the institute’s founder. On a visit to the institute, the journalist Jeff Sharlet spoke to a student about what “violent prayer” meant. It was necessary, the student said, “to remind yourself every day that ‘the culture’—the rest of us, the unsaved—are the enemy,” Sharlet remembered. The student clarified: “‘Not you, in particular,’ he said. ‘Just, you know, the culture.’” That’s the two-step independent charismatics commonly deploy. They dismiss calls for violent prayer and spiritual warfare as calls for merely spiritual, not actual, violence. The discourse of spiritual war is an ordinary part of the vocabulary of the people who would be in Boelter’s orbit, Taylor told me. “I think you hear it in some of his preaching as well, this sense of demonic forces that are gathered against Christians and that need to be battled back.”

In this light, some of Boelter’s seemingly half-baked ventures—from ministry to private security, to international development—make a little more sense. “Reverend Vance Boelter” has been “ordained since 1993,” stated the website of Revoformation Ministries (according to an archived copy), a nonprofit organization Boelter said he heads, which has an IRS paper trail back to 2007 but no substantive activity. The site also claimed that Boelter “sought out militant Islamists in order to share the gospel and tell them that violence wasn’t the answer.” On the nonprofit’s most recent tax filing, its address was given as what appears to be a private family home, seen on Google Street View with a dark vehicle with police lights parked in the driveway. It is nearly identical to the vehicle recently on the home page (also now archived) for Boelter’s private security service firm, Praetorian Guard Services, which boasted, “Our presence, including vehicles, guards, and signs, is designed to say, ‘This isn’t a target worth looking at because the potential consequences would be too great.’”

Just watch the video of the farewell speech from a few hours before the shooting it might give you a solid idea

Identifying himself as “Dr. Vance Boelter E.d.D., CEO of Red Lion Group” on LinkedIn, Boelter gives some hint of what he considered his real vocation: being a kind of entrepreneurial missionary. In fact, as Taylor explained, it’s a common type among nondenominational charismatics. “There’s a lot of people like this,” Taylor told me, “who’ve been trained and have some ministry background … [but] can’t quite make a career out of that, or for individual or familial reasons,” who still maintain “a kind of ministry platform or business or something, on the side.”

>>508194060 (OP)
His school shooter friends?

Over the course of four sermons given by “Dr. Vance” in 2021, 2022, and 2023 at La Borne Matadi, an evangelical church in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Boelter had for perhaps the first time a significant platform, visible to thousands of people; his hosts also introduced him as a successful businessman. Over these sermons, Boelter’s remarks undeniably show animus toward people who he would say deviated from God’s plan, who support abortion and queer and trans people. But this appears alongside equally strident preaching against a church just as much in need of rescue, in the words of the independent charismatics he shares, by “apostles and prophets.”

In the years Boelter was preaching in the DRC, leading voices within the New Apostolic Reformation were going beyond “spiritual warfare,” making “disturbing claims that God is calling his people to organized vigilante violence,” as Frederick Clarkson and André Gagné observed at Religion Dispatches in 2023. They argue that when New Apostolic Reformation leaders refer to Democrats, feminists, and queer and trans people as “demonic,” scapegoating them for whatever social ills the leaders seek to eliminate, these leaders are using timeworn rhetoric that can prepare people to conduct “spiritual warfare” with material violence. Dutch Sheets had long been one of them, and he helped set the template, referring to Jesus as the “commander in chief” of a physical army and to fellow Christians as “potential soldiers.”

Boelter apparently preached, as Sheets does, that the church in America had failed to live up to its responsibilities. “Many churches in America didn’t listen to Jesus,” Boelter said in one February sermon. “They’re divided. This little group here, this little group here, this little group here, and the enemy—the devil—comes through and rips everything apart. The churches are so messed up they don’t know abortion is wrong—many churches. They don’t have the gifts flowing.” Gifts, for independent charismatics, refer to a deep, supernatural experience of power from the Holy Spirit flowing through them, and Boelter kept on the theme. “God gives the gifts to keep balance,” he concluded. “God will raise an apostle or prophet to correct their course.”

>>508194060 (OP)
Kek this is the dumbest nigger brained shit I’ve read on /pol/ in a while

In addition to castigating the church, Boelter celebrated the power of God to “cut” into the hearts of people who are queer or trans to “free” them. “There’s people, especially in America, they don’t know what sex they are! They don’t know their sexual orientation. They’re confused,” Boelter said on another clip of a February 2023 sermon that has circulated widely on social media. “The enemy has gotten so far into their mind and their soul,” he said, putting a hand to his heart. He raised a Bible. “But this word cuts deeper.” God “goes down there and pulls that out, and he sets every person free.”

>>508194060 (OP)
No wonder the police basically escorted him

Boelter’s possibly not-yet-realized armed private security firm, his ministry, his claims to have preached in dangerous places—it’s hard at first to connect all that with the guy who, now in his fifties, was renting a room from his elementary school “best friend,” where, between picking up odd hours working for a funeral home, he allegedly plotted a string of political assassinations. But all together they suggest that Boelter saw something bigger for his life—that he could be a fearless preacher, a guardian for hire, who traveled the world and was part of a movement of others like himself. “There are probably thousands of guys like this,” Taylor said on the recent podcast, who have some ministry training, who have a handful of business ideas, who maybe have fallen on hard times. “Radicalization can happen very, very fast.”

>>508197351
Didn't Tim Walz say he is friends with shooters?

>>508198107
Exactly, he was driven from site to site by a police escort.

None of this is legible in the public comments from Vance Boelter’s friends. “I haven’t talked really about abortion with him for years,” his longtime friend and roommate, David Carlson, told a press gaggle on his front steps. “I don’t like abortion,” he said, gesturing to himself. “But I don’t go to this extreme.” He said Boelter listened to Infowars. But he didn’t want the media to paint Boelter as, in his words, a “crazy right-winger.”

As he was trying to make sense of why Boelter had gone so far, the friend said one thing that got at Boelter’s beliefs and possible motivations. “He had God,” he said. “I don’t understand it.” But what if that was exactly the problem?

A few hours after the shootings, according to the same criminal complaint, a 57-year-old struggling businessman and pastor named Vance Boelter texted a family group chat to say, “Dad went to war last night.”

Didn't the shooter's wife work for or with Walz? He didn't have a record or history of schizo shit either iirc.

Reminds me of Timothy McVeigh's statement that he was working covertly for military, recruited out of Fort Bragg where psyops is hq'd, and expected to be faux lethally injected and placed under Witness Protection. Wendi Painter's expose book Aberration in the Heartland is a must read.

>>508194954
roommate looks like a Trump voter so it would stand to reason he would want to live with a like-minded individual. so basically, Trump killed those senators himself.

>>508196088
Exactly. Candace Owens did a pre-election video about allegations Walz groomed and banged a male student, and there's his sus connections and trips to China bringing students over there for cash. The dude has the face of a low key mid level evil bastard out of a political thriller.
