And I never was in disagreement with that part of your original thesis.

I’ve been writing versions of that for about 15 years. The only difference is that, although I agree with you, I’m not 100% certain. I retain a small bit of hope that something I cannot foresee will improve things.

My original thesis is still the same
We are seeing the fruition of what started in the 60’s. The Progs took over the culture and destroyed it. And they took over all of the information establishments and schools. Now men with the attributes of women like Tara are openly threatening violence if they don’t get their way, and, the mass murders. We are on a path we cannot get off of and the end is going to be very bad.

Allen, BTW, looks like a stereotypical 40-something beer drinker, with a mustache and trimmed beard.

As I have one last meal before returning to a liquid diet, one more reason for the determined resistance to release the manifesto came to me. That it would seriously undermine attempts to paint the killer as another victim because of some reason – perhaps something so nakedly psychopathic it would destroy sympathy for the murderer by all but the most blinkered or fanatical and make it indefensible to carry water for them, or the depths of the plans that shows how It (a set of pronouns I find appropriate for a vile monster that dehumanized withers and deserves to be dehumanized to some degree in turn) had no sympathy for the public at general.

The Morrell letter and admissions shows that our “law enforcement” and “intelligence” agencies are more than capable of lying to help the left’s narrative, and the excuse is threadbare as Neo says. I feel this is part of some holding action.

Though this is just a theory, and I possess no special or inside knowledge and I certainly do not think it was the only or main reason. But I can easily believe it was a secondary one.

That excuse, of course, is complete garbage. The manifesto, the journals, none of that is a wholistic document that cannot be subdivided into parts. Publish the psychological parts and leave out all the practical stuff. Such an approach is hardly rocket science.

The Columbine shooters also planned a “total destruction” that was only made public many years later, by the way. They didn’t carry it out as planned, but they tried. Audrey Hale obviously didn’t carry out her “total destruction” plan, either. No one’s asking to know what it was.

And if you want to know about what the Columbine killers actually intended to do:

First, they wanted to detonate two propane bombs in the cafeteria, killing not only the 600 or so students taking early lunch but also students in the library above, which they hoped would come crashing down. Then, as the rest of the school swarmed for the exits, they would open fire with semiautomatic weapons from two positions in the car park.

Assuming they survived that phase – they did not expect to – they would then ram their cars, loaded with more propane explosive, into arriving rescue workers, television news teams and police for one ghastly final conflagration. They were hoping for a death toll of at least 2,000, matching the student population of the school.

But why can’t the manifesto be released without these details?

“Rep. Tim Burchett, (R-Tenn.) told The Post he knew the FBI was behind the delay, saying the news was ‘disappointing’ and calling for documents to be released to grieving loved ones as well as members of Congress.

“The manifesto ‘could maybe tell us a little bit about what’s going on inside of her head,’ he added. ‘I think that would answer a lot of questions.

“Twenty journals, five laptops, a suicide note and various other notes written by Hale were seized from the house she shared with her parents as well as two memoirs, five Covenant School yearbooks and seven cellphones, according to a search warrant.”

“Nashville shooter Audrey Hale’s manifesto is a ‘blueprint on total destruction’ which the FBI are stalling releasing, according to local politicians, who describe its contents as ‘astronomically dangerous’.”

So, the writer compares this to a Bruce Willis 1990s planetary disaster flick?

Or what is an “astronomical danger’?
