now that Jones is banned from most social media?

Jones is usually the first one to claim a mass shooting is a false flag.

I would take the opportunity of looking up OxyRush and getting in his face and have him tell me it was anything other than a Trump supporter who did the shooting. I think Trump lives and broadcasts not far from Trump's Mar A Shithole.

5. It's his signature propaganda technique

He really is on the level of the Nazi propaganda machine. I monitored him from when he went national. He appropriates anything GOOD that Libs have ever said about, say, FDR and then applies them to RAYGUN (the only tiny figure they've got).

So, whatever the event, he attempts to de-legitimize anything that reflects on wingnut culpability. Yip, he was doing the "false flag" thing the very next broadcast he did after the NZ massacre.

12. There was an hour-long report on that on NPR last weekend

Talked to a Sandy Hook father about his InfoWars/Internet Troll battles.

Went all the way back to Jones' High School origin story and poked holes in that.

Short version: Jones is a Sociopath and a pathological liar, and he's always been that way.

10. Yea, it's the same shit, different day! You know why? Because the only people still listening to him

are the dumbest, most gullible, superstitious, paranoid, and uneducated people on American soil. And no matter how many times their manipulators cycle through their play book, these rubes believe it because they are incapable of anything else.

13. Didn't take long for a false flag conspiracy theory to raise its ugly head.

It's one of the only ways the right knows how to cast doubt on the authenticity of clear examples of right wing terrorism.
