April 21, 2019 at 9:28 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
Washington state Rep. Matt Shea (R) took part in private discussions with rightwing figures about carrying out surveillance, psyops and even violent attacks on perceived political enemies, according to chat records obtained by the Guardian.
Shea did not demur from any of these suggestions. He also appeared willing to participate directly in surveillance of activists.
The men talked about the broad outlines of what they appeared to consider to be a looming civil war. They also discussed using symbols from what they understood to be Russian anti-communist groups as a way of spreading paranoia among their adversaries.

substantial 'investment' in paranoia.
Guns, ammo, equipment, supplies, gold ... they been sold all this crap, many probably in massive debt because of it ... convinced the end was nigh and they needed this stuff so they could come out on top ...
They're all thinking they're ready to start some pathetic little rebellion to 'take back the REAL United States of White Folk'. In other words, they're hoping to MAKE the shit hit the fan. Otherwise what was the 'point' of getting all this STUFF!?!
