Self-Immolated Active Duty Air Force IT Specialist Was a Self-Admitted Anarchist

The last time I checked, the uniparty, led by the political left, wasn’t all that keen on separatists, secessionists, and anarchists, but as the saying goes, never let a “crisis” go to waste.

Aaron Bushnell, an active-duty US air force senior airman from San Antonio, Texas, died in hospital on Sunday several hours after he doused himself in a flammable liquid and set himself alight outside the Israeli embassy in Washington DC. …

According to the Air Force, Bushnell was a cyber defense operations specialist with the 531st Intelligence Support Squadron at the joint base San Antonio. He had been on active duty since May 2020. And he was set for discharge in May after a four-year term of duty.

Had Bushnell lit himself up to end the war in Ukraine, we’d likely not know his name. Were he a martyr for election integrity or women’s sports, the Machine Media and its puppet masters would have framed him as a nutjob crank. He still is, but his cause was theirs, so he is a hero. And yes, confirmation bias works both ways, but that’s not what concerns me.

How does a self-proclaimed anarchist with some screws loose become an Air Force “cyber defense operations specialist with the 531st intelligence support squadron at joint base San Antonio.”

According to reports, Bushnell was raised in something of a religious cult “on a religious compound in Orleans, Massachusetts, run by a Benedictine monastic religious group called the Community of Jesus.” Again, not your typical left-wing hero, but if the talking point fits.

Oh, and according to “Officials at Southern New Hampshire University … Bushnell had enrolled for an online computer science degree course in August 2023 and was registered for a new term beginning next week.”

He had discussed life after the Air Force with friends. He was planning to add to his education. But then he decided to set himself on fire for Palestine, and Democrats have been instructed to elevate him to political sainthood.

Strange.
