Hi, this is Free Thinking through the fourth Turning. My name is Sacha Stone the New York Times Big Lie A woman did not commit mass murder in Canada. That was not one of us. In 1984, George Orwell wrote, freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows. The New York Times is no longer free to say what is true. They're compelled to lie either by their newfound fundamentalism, fear of their readers and subscribers, or pressure from the strident activists who police thought and speech in our new woke order. We can't let them get away with it. Not this time. The Suspect it looks like a real headline. A Search for the Truth Before Mass Killing, mental breakdowns, and Online Violent Extremism, the suspect in the British Columbia shooting had long been posting about mental health problems, substance abuse and a fascination with weapons and online violence. So far, so good. But a few paragraphs in and it's clear that the New York Times has crossed the Rubicon. On Tuesday afternoon, Jesse Van Roetsellaer, 18, grabbed two firearms from her home and, the authorities in British Columbia said killed her mother and 11 year old brother. Then she traveled a mile to the Tumbler Ridge Secondary School and killed five students and one educator before turning her weapon on herself. The mass shooting, which also left two children injured with gunshot wounds, has sent shockwaves across Canada, where such violence is rare and has devastated the small rural community of 2,400 people, end quote. Her home, she traveled before turning her weapon on herself. Was the shooter a woman? If so, wouldn't that be the lead? After all, it's rare for any woman to be pulled into violence online, let alone go on a shooting spree. Sure, there was Audrey Hale out in Tennessee, but according to the Times, she wasn't a she. Back in 2023, they awkwardly opted out of using any pronoun to describe Hale, adding this to their story. There was confusion about the shooter's gender identity in the immediate aftermath of the attack. Chief Drake said the shooter identified as transgender and officials used she and her to refer to the attacker. But according to a social media Post In a LinkedIn profile, the shooter appeared to identify as male in recent months, end quote. But by 2025, when Hale was no longer the only one, they made the decision to use preferred pronouns. Yes, even in the wake of a horrific shooting like the one in Minneapolis, as with Audrey Hale Massacred Children podcast listeners a picture of Robert Robin Westman as a 17 year old. The assailant filed a court document to change her first name to Robin from Robert. The document was also signed by her mother, Mary Grace Westman, who worked in the business office of the church for five years before retiring in 2021. The document noted that Ms. Westman identified as female and wants her name to reflect that identification. Using that logic, we'd have no choice but to conclude that two women had committed these acts of violence in Minneapolis and now in Canada, while one male went on a shooting spree in Tennessee. Make it make sense. New York Times what we're really talking about here is three transgender shooters who targeted children. Robin Westman himself was obsessed with them. For podcast listeners, a headline from the BBC Minneapolis School Attacker obsessed with idea of killing Children. If the latest school shooter in Tumblr Ridge targeted and killed children and was also transgender, you'd think that there might be something, anything that the Times could offer its readers instead of lying that the shooter was female. No, the shooter was male. And it matters. The truth matters. Biological reality matters, especially when we're talking about criminal profiling. For podcast listeners, a picture of Jesse von Root Soler it wasn't just the New York Times either, though they set the standard. It was CNN too. Quote the suspect in Canada's Tumblr Ridge mass shooting posted about guns and hunting on her YouTube channel and appear to have written about her struggles with mental health online. According to social media posts and the ap, the suspect in Tuesday's shooting in a remote Canadian town in British Columbia has been identified as 18 year old Jessie Van Routselaar. Authorities said she had a history of police visits to her home to check on her mental health. Eight people died in the shooting on Tuesday. Police initially said nine people had been killed. CIS white men no more. These white male shooters are given an extra layer of protection just by declaring themselves trans. The formerly hated CIS white males are magically transformed into women and become the center of attention, treated with sympathy and are above all, forgiven almost everything. Look no further than the New York Times to see how they've decided that the only demographic to fear is white men. For podcast listeners, a montage of headlines from the New York White extremist Ideology Drives Many Deadly shootings. Racists are recruiting. Watch your white sons. There are no lone wolves, a common trait among mass killers? Hatred toward women, Tucker Carlson White men and the lynch mob mentality. Mass shooters are all different, except for one thing. Most are men. The iconic man with a gun is a white man. Attacks by white extremists are growing. So are their connections. If any shooter who hailed from the right went on a rampage and killed kids. It would be the biggest story in the world for weeks, if not months. Everyone would have a convenient receptacle for their rage. Ah, but here, with their most protected, elevated, marginalized group responsible, they must divert that empathy and call a mass murderer a she, then bend over backwards to ensure no one demonizes this specific group, even if an obvious pattern is emerging. As the Times writes in the aftermath of the shooting, there has also been a focus on Ms. Van Rootseller's gender identity at a time when transgender issues have become a socially polarizing force. In a handful of high profile shootings in the United States in recent years, the perpetrator has been wrongly identified as transgender on message boards and social media, including in the assassination of Charlie Kirk last year. Fewer than one in 1,000 mass shooters over the past decade have been identified as transgender, according to Gun Violence Archive. Tyler Robinson might not have been transgender himself, but he fits the pattern regardless. He was by all accounts avenging the pain and suffering of his trans furry lover and wanted to silence Charlie Kirk, who he said spread too much hate and it could not be negotiated down. Even if this odd new type of killer does not represent real transgender people overall, it represents a new kind of influencer, a hybrid of social justice extremism, self pity and fringe losers who want Columbine level fame. And online, they're getting it. It's not the job of the New York Times to police the right. It's not their job to do the bidding of left wing activists either. It's their job to tell the truth. And in this story, they did not tell the truth about any of these three prominent cases of transgender shooters slaughtering children, choosing instead to use their preferred pronouns. Telling the truth is a dirty job, and it takes someone bold to get that job done. It takes someone like Bridget Fedisy who does not hold back.

I don't generally like to talk about mass shootings because they're tragic and they're a nightmare that as a parent I cannot even imagine. I can't generally don't even like to be politicizing these things because I think it's all I can think is about the families, the the kids and everybody who had to experience this. But I will criticize the media in the in light of what happened here. And the media has been swift to pin this mass shooting on what the patriarchy is so crafty that they figured out how to lower the rate of murderers among white males just by becoming white females. I've been talking about how crafty the patriarchy is for years. Attributing male crimes to females is a crime. And no one else would put up with this bullshit. It's journalistic malpractice. First of all, you shouldn't be able to do this. And keeping records of violence like this, which they do now, is insane in some places. And as someone pointed out, if you did this to any other population, there would be outrage. This would be like if Rachel Dolezal was caught stealing and they included her in black crime statistics.
- [10:04]
C
She's never going.
- [10:06]
A
Never.
- [10:06]
B
And by the way, if you do that as a journalistic organization, identify a male who committed a crime as a female, I'm never going to believe anything you ever print again. Why would I? That's insane. And it's not just journalists and their organizations, it's the actual police in Canada.
- [10:26]
A
Was he known to police?
- [10:28]
B
Were there any red flags regarding his mental health?
- [10:33]
C
So a suspect is identified as an 18 year old female by the name of Jessica.
- [10:38]
B
In case you missed what we just showed you, that is a police officer correcting a journalist for misgendering a mass murderer who is now dead. Some outlets have acknowledged that the shooter had mental health struggles. But you'd be wrong if you thought they were referring to being trans. What did you mean when you said mental health struggles? Oh, depression, anxiety, obviously psychopathy. Oh, okay. And what about the fact that he dressed up like a girl and said he was a woman? No, we're not talking about the normal things. We're talking about the mental health issues. I fail to see how her desire to remake her body look more like Japanese anime characters is a mental health issue. The mainstream media would look at this picture and say no one could have seen this coming. They would genuinely believe that the gun ownership is the mental illness. Look at this picture. It's the gun that's the problem.
- [11:34]
A
Yeah, it's the first thing I noticed.
- [11:36]
B
There have been so many headlines that have been misleading like this too. And it is nothing short of infuriating because when you ask me if I think woke is dead or dying, I will say yes. And then I will see this and go, no, actually it's not at all. Lamond Canada mass shooting suspect is 18 year old local woman with known mental health struggles. Reuters Canadian police identify an 18 year old woman as suspect in mass shooting. Yahoo News female identified as suspect in worst Canada school shooting in decades that killed 10 and injured at least 25. The Canadian Press. 10 dead including female suspect in devastating shootings at B.C. school and home. Okay. In the Aftermath of any trans shooting, there are inevitably legions of people saying exactly what you would expect. We must think of the trans people. No, no, actually no. I'm tired of thinking of trans people. I'm going to be honest, I've spent more time than I ever wanted to in my entire life thinking about trans people and the status of their private or whatever the stuff is that they're always constantly putting out there into the world and media and in our face. And do not gaslight me and tell me that that has not been happening because I will come with receipts and that episode will be two hours long in reality. Please no trans stuff. Trans. Oh, the trans kids aren't a thing. It's not happening. They're not getting, they're not getting surgeries, but they are. It's exhausted the entire population. I can't even use the word transitioning without thinking of penises and mass murderers, which I realize is redundant. The activists and people who push back against the right wing and say that we're the right wing and the independents and the. Everyone other than the activists will make the argument that this is a population that is only a fraction of the population. Yeah, Then why the do we have to think about this all the time?

Son, daughter, girl, boy, mother, father. Imagine your child has just been shot by a psychotic madman. And in the wake of that murder, as you hold the limp body of your precious son or daughter, you have to then grapple with whether or not to misgender the shooter. That is the absurd reality of the times we're now living through at the hands of the left. When bodies are identified, we identify them using their biological sex and don't ask anyone how they prefer to be addressed. So why would the New York Times and other outlets play this ugly game? Why? For the deceased victims, the school included a 39 year old female educator, three 12 year old female students, two male students ages 12 and 13, and then the two additional victims were a 39 year old female and an 11 year old male that were located deceased at the local residence. Maya Gabala, the sole survivor of the shooting in British Columbia that got a bullet to her head and neck, is now moving. This is a day two update from her family. She's moved. It's stimulus, a kick, a hand move. But it's something, it's truly something new.
- [15:03]
B
In almost 48 hours, she was whoever and whatever someone needed. She was everything. Especially to me. To accept that my daughter is gone is impossible.
- [15:25]
C
These are the heroes. You want to put someone's picture up on on the news. Put Maddie's picture up. Put my daughter's picture up in Takaria and a bell and Ezekiel and Maya, who's still fighting for her life. Put all their pictures up. Let's stop giving this psychopath the recognition, because these. These kids were lost before they got to become teenagers. So let's put their pictures up, please, and remember them, not the murderer. It never crossed in my mind that my son is dead. So we went into the room and he said, I'm afraid. Andy said, I'm afraid your son was killed in today's shooting. I just looked at him. The only way that I said is thank you. I turned back with people holding me. My pastor. And then I wept. If Abel lived up to my age or beyond, he would have been greater than me. He would have been a kid that the world, like, would have, like, sit down and listen to. The boy was so intelligent. What do you want to become when you grow up?
- [17:11]
B
I want to become a scientist, soccer player, engineer.
- [17:19]
C
I built a very good relationship with my son, and that was the deepest cut that was pierced into my flesh. Losing my son. I never thought of that.

Using preferred pronouns out of politeness in certain situations is one thing, but using them to refer to extreme acts of violence, no. Say what is true. A man raped a woman. A man assaulted a woman. A man massacred. Children do not lie to us about something so important. If a woman did it, as with Audrey Hale, tell us that we don't care how she identifies. We care that her victims were children and that it was extremely rare for a woman to commit these crimes. Unless, of course, you understand she was pretending to be a man, which itself is a story. Only a movement rooted deeply in narcissistic tendencies would divert empathy away from the murdered children to protect the sensitive feelings of transgender people. It is perhaps the height of irony that the left has abandoned its protection of children entirely while chasing this fast moving contagion. What has been done to children on their watch is horrific. They've had their breasts amputated, they've been castrated, they've been rendered broken and infertile. Dealing with health complications for life. And all for what utopia? Does utopia also include covering up the crimes of vicious psychopaths on shooting sprees? Softening them with preferred pronouns to garner sympathy? Oh, New York Times, how the mighty have fallen. Your lying eyes. Almost nothing we read or see online can be trusted. This image, for instance, has made the rounds, but is not the Tumblr Ridge Shooter. For podcast listeners, a picture of a Man with red curly hair and makeup and an image that says not the Tumbler Ridge shooter. And yet when you head to Snopes to read up on it, this is the Correction quote. An 18 year old Canadian woman shot and killed her mother and stepbrother at their home before heading to Tumbler Ridge Secondary School and killing at least six more as of February 12, 2026 and injuring dozens of others. Of course it's wrong that this false image was splashed all over the Internet and that this person, according to Snopes, is now afraid to go outside. But now we need a Snopes to correct Snopes and tell us the truth about the shooter's gender. And besides, any child knows that's not a woman in the photo and any reasonable person knows the man who shot those kids in Canada is also not a woman, including the victims who survived and the parents. How long are we going to play this game? Is there any middle ground here? Is there any way to accept that there are transgender people and they should be treated with respect while also understanding that there is no such thing as transgender people? Not really. And that everyone is just kind of pretending? What divides America now? The war we seem to be fighting is for reality itself. One side is devoted to the oppressor oppressed mindset which tells them that the ICE is Gestapo, Trump is Hitler, no humans are illegal on stolen land and trans women are women. The other side believes in mass deportations, voter ID and that there are only two sexes. Should we be that surprised that the Republicans took all three branches in 2024? There is such a thing as the truth and the truth is most definitely not that a woman traveled a mile to the Tumbler Ridge Secondary School and killed five students and one educator before turning her weapon on herself. End quote. That is the side that is lying. Meet the new influencer, the violent warrior for social justice. To understand the phenomenon of the rise of the trans mass shooter who seeks to do maximum damage by killing children, we have to first Travel back to 1999 after Columbine. It wasn't just the shooting itself, but how it was covered. The 24 hour news cycle became popular after the O.J. simpson case, just before the rise of the Internet and with it instant notoriety that could travel across the world in minutes. Mass shooters feel victimized by society and want to do maximum damage as a form of revenge. The worst of the worst was Adam Lanza, who many of the subsequent shooters see as a star because he inflicted maximum damage by killing the most children. That is the thrill they're seeking. But we must also look at the effects of the Internet, especially social media, on the teenage brain, specifically the male brain, as whole generations come of age online. It can't be a coincidence that so many of the mass shooters and assassins, from Matthew David Crooks and Tyler Robinson to Robin Westman and Jesse Van Rootselaer were radicalized right around 2020 during lockdowns. Van Roetselaaar began to believe he was trans around that time. It wasn't long after that that his head was filled with violent fantasies, as it is with almost all of these shooters. The rise of transgender ideology can also be tracked alongside social media, not coming into prominence until right around 2012 as critical race theory began to hit schools and universities and the oppressor oppressed mindset took hold and Internet users began living double lives, their real lives and their avatar lives. Many white girls sought refuge in becoming trans as a way out, but also as a way to have a protective status for their online avatars. For young men who already felt disconnected and abandoned amid the Great Feminization and the Great Awokening with increasing isolation and lots of attention directed at anyone who chooses to transition, we begin to see a new hybrid, a violent shooter with transgender leanings merged with anime furries and other online fetishized genres. For podcast listeners, a montage of furries and trans imagery with anime and guns Violence is on the rise on the left. We can see it everywhere. But this particular brand of violence killing kids for notoriety is specific to this odd new hybrid emerging online, like this video posted five years ago. Trans girls need guns. An extreme reaction to what they believe is the transphobic right and maga that there is a trans genocide in progress and that they need to arm themselves and seek revenge. For podcast listeners, screenshots of the lyrics Little pig, little pig let me in I'm going to make a rug out of your skin I'm hunting you down like you've done our world I'm hunting you down like you've done our girls and the rest of the lyrics this ain't another witch hunt, ain't another lie we're gonna burn down every last pigsty You've heard it right here and you heard it here first Every dead queer leaves behind a curse. Trans girls need guns bigger than the ones we're assigned to keep A knife in the thigh in case you gotta slice through Burn the CIS at the stake if they try and stab a stake through you Take them to the gallows, unveil the guillotine it's the only accountability they've ever seen. They kill us in the streets, desecrated by their laws. Now we have the numbers and we have the clause. Little pig, little pig, so full of sin, my boot's gonna kick your face right in. You weren't so sweet and you didn't play nice. We are the cats and you are the mice. Trans girls need guns. Burn the CIS at the stake. If they try and stab a stake through, you get an extra piece for an enby and a trans boy too. Understanding, let alone stopping mass shooters has plagued our society since Columbine. It isn't getting any better. It seems that almost every day, someone is opening fire somewhere. What makes these cases unique is not so much that they're transgender, but that because they're transgender, the legacy media will offer a layer of protection to prioritize their fragile feelings over the deaths of even children. We must speak the truth about who they are, what they are and where they are. Otherwise there will be more of them, more psychopaths looking for infamy and more dead children. For podcast listeners, a montage of the deaths of children in these three shootings. By now, we can't deny what is happening anymore. We need responsible journalists to dig into it and help the public better understand what's going on. Unfortunately, that's not the ap, Reuters, the BBC, cnn, and certainly not the New York Times.
