El Paso Shooter Originally Listed As ANTIFA, Bernie Democrat, ‘John Brown Resistance Member’
In a near duplication of 2018’s ‘MAGA Bomber’ incident involving lifelong Democrat and supposed Trump convert, Cesar Sayoc, online descriptions of El Paso mass shooter, Patrick Crusius indicating he was a registered Democrat were edited immediately following the Walmart massacre that left 19 people dead to make him appear to be a Republican, an NRA member and a follower of the Trump movement’s popular chatroom conspiracy theory, QAnon.
In security camera footage, police say 21-year old Patrick Crusius is seen stalking a busy El Paso Walmart store with an WASR 10, a semiautomatic AK-47 style assault rifle, killing 20 people and wounding 26 more just moments after publishing a “white supremacist manifesto” to his social media. In the manifesto, Crusius allegedly referenced the Christchurch, New Zealand mosque shooting as inspiration and voiced ant-immigrant views.
However, other evidence from Crusius’s digital footprint contradicts those supposed views and gives a conflicting picture of Crusius’ actual political etymology. Cached versions of Crusius’s profile on the online public reputation aggregator, MyLife originally listed Crusius as a registered Democrat, (NOT a Republican) a climate change protester, John Brown resistance member, a backer of Bernie Sanders and Antifa member.
In the moments after the shooting, references to ANTIFA, Bernie Sanders, John Brown Anti-Racist Club (a 1970’s era militant Communist terror organization with ties to Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn and the Weather Underground and also praised by Tacoma ICE Detention facility bomber, Willem Van Spronsen) were removed from Crusius’ MyLife profile.
As is also clearly visible, the oldest and original profile made no mention of Trump, QAnon or an alleged NRA membership (which would be an extraordinarily strange addition to an online biography.) Each of those descriptors were added by someone in the moments after Crusius was publicly identified as the El Paso shooter.
In previous incidents of false flag violence and provocateurism the MyLife platform has consistently proven an achilles heel for perpetrators, even after efforts to tailor and scrub social media to portray political allegiances to Donald Trump, ‘white supremacy’ or anti-immigrant views.
In the case of supposed ‘MAGA Bomber,” Cesar Sayoc, original versions of his MyLife profile listed him as a lifelong Democrat. Deeper dives on his facebook and Twitter profiles showed him to be a hater of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Read more here.
Cesar Altieri Sayoc listed as a Democrat, moments after his apprehension.
The El Paso massacre by Crusius is the second of three mass shootings less than one week after 19-year old Santino Legan opened fire at the Gilroy Garlic Festival near San Jose, California on July 28, killing four people and wounding 12.
In the early morning hours of Sunday, August 4th, 24 year old Connor Betts opened fire in the nightlife district of Dayton, Ohio, killing ten people and wounding 30 others before he was shot and killed by Dayton police.
This is hardly surprising. I wonder what the elections office records show now, likely he voted in the Democratic primary, have those records been scrubbed too and changed?
I would like to find out if the recent 3 shooters played the same online game. I know that you can talk with each other and their is little or no monitoring. Did they know each other, did they all have Antifa affiliations? What are their ties? because I don’t believe in coincidence.
No, Shad, BEFORE the shooting, MyLife showed NO political information about Crusius. Either you didn’t do enough research, or you are showing your own agenda. Or both.
No, Karla…moronic neophyte.
You, and failed blogger and bitter old cat lady, Miss Snopes, are evidencing both your indubitable biases and your absolute technical ignorance in the functioning of Wayback Machine and other on-demand snapshot platforms that don’t trigger until queried by users via web address upload. My screenshots were not obtained there. And you, given your obvious sophomoric technical knowledge will not be ‘wombsplaining’ to me in any regard on this topic or the article above.
Your false flags are rejected…you cowardly dwarfs. If you want a civil war, fight it under your own flag and stop attempting to begin it under the flag of your opponent.
Miss Snopes is still extraordinarily bitter over having had to surrender half the liquidity of the Snopes website in a divorce to her ex-hubbie who left her for a stripper.
She would be far better advised to continue debunking Babylon Bee satire stories as if they were actual journalism….as she has done repeatedly.
Be well, but mostly, be gone.

Shad for writing this opinion article I would have assumed you would have acted more professionally to this women’s comment, but instead you act like a man-child. Grow a pair and learn to take criticism.
I decided to click this website for shits and giggles, and I find it full of fake conspiracy theories, and each article pops out as FAKE NEWS propaganda. So you should learn to get a reality check before you snap like your peers and do the next mass shooting, and stop spreading FAKE NEWS you’re making your retarded brain dead peers believe it’s real.
Blake,
In our present era, there no longer is due recompense and honor given for credibility and achievement. You find it acceptable and expected that a failed blogger and leftist cat lady should be taken as ultimate fact checking ombudsman for your movement and in this case, that her uninformed and incomplete research should be taken over the research and investigative abilities of a National Emmy Winning investigative reporter.
Intelligent people don’t consider that a reasonable conclusion.
In previous era, of course the discourse would be different. But your arrogance and Karla’s in simply declaring unequivocally that my reporting is in err and your worldview is suitably protected on a satin pillow of assumed intellectual, moral and even journalistic superiority is summarily rejected.
I’m beyond tired of being critiqued by people with no standing or qualification. It bores me.
Take your bombastic, insulting and condescending moralism and shove it whatever orifice produces the most pleasure. I’ve been studying these topics and the geopolitical reality of this world since age six. You…you presumptuous moron, simply do not have perspective either on these events or on my dossier and bona fides to make an intelligent summation either of my credibility or the reportage represented here.
Your normalcy bias convinces you that you are right. Get a better source than mere emotional protection of your highly cultivated ignorance and your 12 years of government approved and mandated mediocrity and thought conformity.
Be well,
Shad Olson
Snopes relationship to truth is that of a shadow to light. Truth & Snopes are two different forks in the road.
Thank you, Kim.
Yes. Very, very well said.
Thanks for the article, Shad. When I first read it, I started to dismiss it as “just more fake news and conspiracy theory fodder”. I stopped myself from going down that easily traveled road. Because of your article, I am forcing myself to do more research on the El Paso shooting. The reason I am open to this being true is directly related to how the El Paso and Dayton shootings have been treated in the news. Both occurred the same weekend, both committed by young white males, but only one filled the airwaves – the one that fit the Left’s perspective. When I encounter the occurrence of relatively simultaneous events being treated differently, I ask myself,”Why is one more important than the other?”
The reason so many toss this information aside as fake news is that it does not fit the widespread narrative (lies) that mass shootings are only caused by conservatives. We have been trained by truly fake news sources to believe that there is no violence endemic to the radical (redundant) Leftwing. For years the violence inflicted by the Left on society has been ignored and suppressed by the MSM. Until recently, we had no alternative to the Left’s narrative.
Unfortunately, there is a great deal of fake news of all sorts. Finding the truth requires objective research and a willingness to think counter-intuitively to what has been ingrained in us from once highly esteemed news sources. They have been infected with the same disease emanating from a poisoned academe – intersectionality and its many tumorous forms.
