'WE'RE ACTUALLY ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE DOOMSDAY!' NYC SUBWAY SUSPECT'S RACIAL RAMBLINGS. New York police have identified a 62-year-old man named Frank James as the suspect in Tuesday's subway shooting. In that incident, a man detonated two smoke grenades and then opened fire inside a subway car traveling through Brooklyn toward Manhattan. He fired at least 33 shots. Ten people were hit. Another 13 were injured in the rush to get out of the car. James is still on the loose. Officials say they found at the shooting scene the keys to a U-Haul van they believe is connected to the shooting. James rented the van in Philadelphia. It was found a few miles away from the subway station where the attack occurred. Police are still gathering evidence in the case. They're asking for any witnesses to come forward, they're looking for any cellphone videos of the event, and they are scouring security cameras for clues. And they are seeking to understand why the shooter did it. "At this time, we still do not know the suspect's motivation," New York City Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell said Tuesday. "Clearly, this individual boarded the train and was intent on violence." Subscribe today to the Washington Examiner magazine that will keep you up to date with what's going on in Washington.

He is a prolific poster on YouTube, putting up about 450 videos in the last three years under the name "prophet oftruth88." But as he described in a recent video, traveling across the United States toward New York, he prefers to call himself the "prophet of doom." In one video, James described himself as "full of hate, full of anger, and full of bitterness." James, who is black, appears to be obsessed with race and his belief that some sort of racial Armageddon, specifically a white genocide against blacks, is coming to the U.S. What follows is from a rambling video he posted three weeks ago, on March 21, 2022, from a hotel room in Fort Wayne, Indiana. "I can't blame people not wanting to hear what I'm talking about," James said, noting that the number of people watching his videos had dropped recently. "This is the prophet of truth channel, but I am the prophet of doom. That's what I've called myself since I've been on YouTube. So what do you want from me? Doomsday is actually about to be here. We're actually about to experience doomsday!" What James meant by that was his apparent belief that white people are about to kill all black people and that the killing will begin soon. James appeared to blame black people for being oblivious to the fate that awaits them. "So of course, why would you want to watch and listen to the prophet of doom?" James continued. "I'm not mad at you one bit. But I'm going to talk about it because it has to be talked about. You need to know why we're going to die. You need to know why we're going to be destroyed. And black people have no sense of s***. Like hogs or cows, just chewing their fucking cud until they take you to — I've said that to you. That's what we are: cattle waiting to be taken to the slaughter." James appeared to believe that black people do not live in a self-sufficient way and are therefore dependent on white people for their livelihoods. To illustrate that, he proposed an experiment. "I want this white man, if he don't blow the f***ing planet up, one thing I want him to do, besides kill us, exterminate us, is to let us off to ourselves," James said. "Give us a place of our own to live in. Give us our own piece of land, whatever, a country estate, and let us do totally for ourselves — no white oversight at all." In this scenario, James envisioned white people would give black people not just land but everything they needed to live. "They provide all — of course, we can't live without their material s***," he said. "So they'll provide all the infrastructure. They'll provide all the material s*** that you want. They'll supply your stores, your supermarkets. But you have to run that s***. And you have to govern yourself, police yourself, all that s***. Let's see how long that s*** lasts. I bet you it won't last six months. And it will be complete f***ing chaos. That s*** will look 10 times worse than Haiti before it's all over because we're living in a way that people aren't intended to live, and we just don't understand it." Soon, James said, "those bombs start dropping." Black people will be "permaf***ed — permanently f***ed." James seemed particularly angry at black women, who he said criticize the actions of black men but do not grapple with the fact that they gave birth to those black men. He seemed deeply resentful about that. And then he returned to the coming doomsday. "The sad part — I hate saying this, but it's just f***ing true," James said. "The sad part about it is not that we're going to die. That's not the sad part. The sad part is that we ought to f***ing be dead and can't see why, refuse to see why. Why the f*** are you here? I'm talking about the whole so-called black race here in the United States in particular. The DOEA — the Descendants of Enslaved Africans, as I call it." "You're in that same f***ing mindstate," James told his audience. "We are in that same f***ed-up way of thinking, in our own little f***ed-up way. And this is why we are gonna die. If you got to go, baby, you got to go. And again, the sad part is not that we're gonna be dead. The sad part is, that's where the f*** we belong in our current state — is dead if we can't see there's a problem." James obsessed about the Civil War and slavery. He obsessed about the violence committed by white people in World War I and World War II. And soon, he predicted, there will be more violence. "Doomsday is here," he said. James told anyone watching that he has done all he can to prevent the end. "What do want me to do?" he asked. "I can't help you. I've tried." In the end, James said, black people, having failed to listen to him, are headed for death at the hands of whites. "N*****s love living in a world of fantasy and make-believe," James said. "Not to think about s*** at all. And maybe that's for the best. So when them bombs start dropping, you won't have nothing on your motherf***ing mind — no way. You'll be in a thoughtless state anyway. And hopefully, whatever they drop will hit you so fast, so hard, you won't even realize it. You won't even feel that s***. It will incinerate your motherf***ing ass so quick it'll be like striking a f***ing match. You'll be gone that fast. I hope that's the case anyway. That's all I can hope for you." Why discuss all this? If James is charged in the case, it is important to know his motive. Obviously, from his videos, one might just say that he appears mad as a hatter. Indeed he does. But criminally insane suspects can be criminally insane in different ways. If, for example, the New York subway shooter raved about a plot to impurify our precious bodily fluids, it would be in the public interest to know that, even though there is not, in fact, a plot to impurify our precious bodily fluids. If James is detailing his predictions of some sort of coming racial Armageddon, a white genocide against blacks, it is in the public interest to know that, too. After all, he spent years telling us, before allegedly heading to the subway.
