The shit came down from the President of the United States, the Attorney General of the United States and the POTUS National Security Advisor on national TV. If you were already prone to right wing CT and naive enough/gullible enough to need this kind of fix to get ya through another day then this will be your meal of choice. But that the disinformation came from the top and not some Brietbartian CT site to begin with gives it a stamp of legitimacy easily swallowed by the rubes. That the FBI has seen no evidence of Antifa influence over the rioters but lots of indications that right wing provocateurs are involved will never reach them.

You’ve nailed it gbjake! That is the major story of the day that needs to be highlighted on the front page of every newspaper and newscast from now until the dotard and his handlers have to retract their wild claims against Antifa.

Do they have so many fascists that ANITFA would consider them an appropriate target? Maybe they should be looking inward and not outward? Is there that much worth stealing in these small towns that it’s worth a caravan of buses? The Jersey mall maybe but in a town of 24,000?

I beg to differ tomorrow is the 76th anniversary of an ANTIFA invasion.

Fixing up the street for the 4th of July parade is bad enough. Now we have to convert the town into an American Battle Space.

“became the center of a conspiracy theory that liberal financier George Soros was funneling protesters to Milan, Michigan.”

Soros has operatives in Milan all right.

This is also happening in my neck of the woods… a couple of local activists organized a small protest, and the right wing nut jobs went into overdrive…

“I do have a concern that outside influence may rear its ugly head as you’ve seen in other locations,” the sheriff said. Schuster and Cooper said officers visited Walmart on several occasions over the course of several hours on Sunday when it was rumored that a bus full of people had arrived intending to riot.

“We didn’t receive anything official. Everything we got was coming third- and fourth-hand,” Cooper said.

“We heard about a bus load of Antifa in the Walmart parking lot and within 10 minutes our staff is looking in the Walmart parking lot and we’re not seeing it,” Schuster said.

The police chief and sheriff said their officers were not able to substantiate the bus rumor.

My little town in South Florida had one arrest in a peaceful protest. The local Sinclair station identified the guy as Antifa. It turns out he was one of our local walking wounded who had slipped off his meds and was making trouble for all concerned. He is in a mental facility now.

For those who have never heard the term “walking wounded” in this context it refers to a homeless person with mental health issues who needs care but isn’t really much of a threat to anyone. In modern America such people have been abandoned by society.

They – and others in small towns and rural America – need to turn off the Fox News propaganda machine. Before it was “antifa,” it was “the caravan.”

It’s more like The Protocols of the Elders of Zion—totally fictional and designed to promote hate, fear, and bigotry.
