Just a guess about Kash Patel's use of "see you in Valhalla" in respect to Kirk

[Jersey Devil]

So far we know the shooter was an online gamer, which seems to be substantiated by the writings on the shells recovered. I am not a gamer but I know that a big time game for those into role playing games is Assassin's Creed Valhalla. So could Patel's mention of Valhalla be some kind of message to the alt-right? Or maybe Patel is descended from Vikings? It is so weird to me that Patel would mention Valhalla that I think it is worth thinking about.

1. Don't you have to fall in battle to reach Valhalla?

[CanonRay]

6. Pretty sure you have to be white, too lol

[Intractable]

14. Actually, at the end of the movie Thor: Love and Thunder ...

we clearly see the warrior Heimdall played by Idris Alba in Valhalla.

[iemanja]

16. Yes, with your weapon in hand.

[RockRaven]

2. It was a nod to white nationalists; a subset of those losers are into Norse imagery

and so it is a common reference among them. Alex Jones referenced Valhalla on air the day of the shooting.

[meadowlander]

7. Yes, exactly. A lot of the neo-Nazis (and old school Nazis)

think Christianity with its messages of peace and forgiveness weakened the knees of "real European men" (don't forget Jesus was a Jew). They look back to the Vikings for role models as part of their un-diluted white European heritage. That's part of why they're into Wagner and some of them are neo-Pagans and trying to revive ancient Norse spiritual practices.

The joke's on Kash who wouldn't be welcome in their Valhalla if he single-handedly slaughtered everyone on Earth.

3. Googie eyes is an incompetent wise ass republican

Ladder climber.. Kirk isn't going to Valhalla he's going in a 6 ft hole in ground or baked into ashes.
The rest of shit is stand tall to spite the libs. Personally I think this whole episode has become absurd.

[Quazie]

4. Overcomplicating

Valhalla is where warriors go after they die. That's it.

9. Still weird and inappropriate, since neither one of them served

in any branch of the military. Aside from which, it is a bizarre and potentially quite offensive thing to say about someone so ostentatiously "Christian," whose wife is clinging to the hope that he is in Heaven.

8. It is a tip of the hat to white supremacists who fancy themselves as "Odinists".

18. POC who rubber-stamp

white supremacy always crack me up.

10. Could also be a nod to the crypto-currency "FLOKI",

which has created a game by that name....


I was invested into that crypto before the whole crypto market fell---

Luckily my stake came back right about the time I really needed the money---
think I more or less broke even on it before liquidating the position!


From Google A.I. :

"Crypto Valhalla" can refer to two main concepts: a play-to-earn game called Valhalla developed on the Floki ecosystem, featuring strategic turn-based combat with creatures called Veras, and the symbolic idea of financial freedom that investors and traders aim to reach after surviving the volatility of the cryptocurrency market. There are also cryptocurrency tokens named Valhalla Protocol (VAL) and a Valhalla meme coin, which are distinct from the game and the broader crypto concept.
Valhalla (The Play-to-Earn Game)
Concept:
A Viking-themed, browser-based, turn-based combat game with play-to-earn (P2E) mechanics built by the Floki community.
Gameplay:
Players control "Veras," unique, NFT-owned creatures with different abilities, and battle in PvP (player-vs-player) or PvE (player-vs-environment) scenarios.
Key Features:
Web3 Ownership: Players truly own their in-game assets (Veras) as NFTs.
Strategic Combat: The game emphasizes skill and strategy over reaction time.
Sustainable Economy: Valhalla aims for a sustainable P2E model with a large treasury and balanced mechanics.
Floki Partnership: The game integrates with the Floki ecosystem, with players able to earn Floki tokens on the mainnet.
Valhalla (The Symbolic Concept)
Meaning:
In crypto, "Valhalla" represents the idealized, ultimate goal for investors – achieving financial freedom and wealth after navigating the challenging and volatile cryptocurrency markets.
Context:
It's a metaphor for the "promised land" where "diamond hands" (investors who hold their crypto through price drops) finally see their efforts pay off.
Other "Valhalla" Mentions
Valhalla Protocol (VAL): A separate cryptocurrency that operates on the BNB Smart Chain (BEP20).
Valhalla Meme Coin: A meme coin launched on the Ethereum blockchain, inspired by Norse mythology.

11. I just take the sprinkling of old norse paganisms in RW speech as their arrogant dumbass chest-thumpings

Bush's PNAC gallery neocons did the same when they crowed about how people would "sing songs" about them and their deeds.

And as far as they're concerned, it doesn't hurt that it's about as white-coded as you can get.

12. IDK about Patel's intent. What strikes me is how young Robinson is.

Some bizarre combo of Groyper Army, gaming culture, and manosphere at work.

As Elle Reeve points out, we need to take care about jumping to conclusions.

13. Other sources say the markings are from tthe manufacturer.

[iemanja]

15. Valhalla is the Vikings' paradise or heaven

It makes so sense to use it to describe the shooter’s fate.

[Raine]

17. Yes, EXACTLY. nt

[Irish_Dem]

19. Patel is saying Kirk has gone to Viking heaven because he died an honorable death in battle.

Vikings were known to be vicious, brutal invaders and raiders.
Raping, killing, pillaging.

It is a shocking statement from a federal government official.
And gives us a very frightening look into their psyches.

It makes disgusting sense.

[iemanja]

21. I see

It’s still stupid.

[Irish_Dem]

22. Not only stupid but dangerous.

Suggesting murderers will go to heaven.

The head of the FBI is talking like a terrorist.

[PunkinPi]

20. See also...

Seems to be a white supremacist calling card.

[LeftInTX]

23. Since K$H Patel is Hindu, maybe he didn't want to refer to a Christian heaven???

So he used this mythical Norse, game thing?

Who knows? It's just dumb. He shouldn't have said anything.

Very unprofessional, but since when has K$H ever been professional???

Yep, K$H is his nickname.

24. "Valhalla, I am coming."

1. Sexual. Hope you have protection, I don't, and who names their kid "Valhalla," 'Val? Justice says I spunk you. < grunt > now.'

2. White supremacist. Because Irish-Americans ID and those not from NW Europe (or from other locals are ignorant) aren't away of their Viking oppressors. And all like London, how could they not like Balti cuisine? You get to define 'justice' if the meal's good.

3. Metaphorical. You're a warrior, so am I, we'll meet again because we are warriors for 'justice.'. Or not. Whatev's.

4. See last week's 4hchan for what I must mean. I'm not sure, but others surely know. Update me when you have a clue, so I have one, too.

I opt for (3). Don't see a South Asian by ancestry opting to 'worship' British 'oppressors'. Or thinking he can jack off towards us and we ooh and aah. Or abiding by 4chan's ambiguous usage.

Otherwise, Led Zeppelin was fascist. Valhalla ... "Valhalla, I am coming."

Effing fascists. I mean, 'overlords' and all that. Paige, obvious Nazi. Plant was a 'plant' by authoritarians. Bonzo ... a Putin's mentor knocked him off.

Peace and trust will win the day despite of all your ruin. There's wisdom in that utterance It's hard, but overcoming foolishness pretty much always is.

25. For a laugh...

[Turbineguy]

26. Maybe he's been partying with Hegseth

[Docreed2003]

27. It's a very common phrase used in military circles between service members on their deaths

For Patel to use that for Kirk is just cringe

[LetMyPeopleVote]

28. This was a stupid comment by Patel
