Milo Yiannopoulos' far-right fans think spy agencies took him out because he was too powerful

DAVID FERGUSON
22 FEB 2017 AT 12:29 ET

Former Breitbart.com tech editor and provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos has gone from meteoric media sensation to crashing-and-burning pariah virtually overnight due to statements he made last year that appear to condone and excuse child sex abuse.

According to Vice.com, however, there are some on the right who still believe in him and who see his abrupt downfall as a sinister plot by the “deep state” to eliminate one of conservatism’s rising stars.

-snip-

Yiannopoulos is not without champions, however. Mike Cernovich — one of the main promoters of the “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory — believes that Yiannopoulos is the victim of a “deep state” operation.

On Tuesday, Cernovich — who spread the fake news story that Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and top aides were running a child sex ring from a series of tunnels underneath a D.C. pizzeria — went on a rant in which he said the malevolent actors of the deep state use child abuse as a means of cementing the loyalty of new inductees. Yiannopoulos, he said, was becoming too much of a threat to these forces.

“One third of the deep state are pedophiles, to get at that high level that they get at they have all kind of initiation rituals that a lot of people that wouldn’t believe are possible but it’s how they control you,” Cernovich said.

regardless of what he said and arguing age of consent. Apparently liberal's never cared about pedophilia until now, WTF, that's not a left/right issue, that's god damn morality, period. I honestly couldn't believe how much of that crap I was reading I just had to stop.

I first saw this Milo person on Real Time this week. I think that he is so big in the alt-right because he knows how to write. Period. Not that he writes well, just that he knows how to form sentences. I guess from their end that DOES look like power. A super power really that most of them do not have.

(who is not English but "sounds like it&quot , Milo, Piers Morgan -- there is a whole herd of them that the deplorables worship (literally) because they think the accent makes them sound smart and gives their sad little notions more gravitas. If Milo sounded like he was from Arkansas (just one example), I can promise that he would NOT have become the alt-right "hero." The sad accent fixation is yet another symptom of their insecurity.

Wed Feb 22, 2017, 02:04 PM
Feb 2017

So the Deep State, which now includes Breitbart apparently, somehow or other created a Milo clone who did multiple interviews in which "Milo," in his typical attention-whore way, made provocative comments about how sex with young boys was okay with homosexual men (as many have pointed out this is an old anti-gay attack perpetually brought up by the right)? Milo's constant, endless narcissistic need for attention brought his own ass down. Does this asshole think Breitbart is part of the Deep State too?!

Guess he needs to devote himself to pizza gate again. Wonder how that research on the tunnels is going?! Lmfao.

Batshit crazy stupid idiots that have no idea what the real world is like. Milo is a piece of garbage - his failed book 'dangerous' should have been titled 'pathetic'.

Pathetic people like Milo and his followers are the folks that believe raping children is okay. Now that their hero has been exposed, they deflect and distract with Deep State bullshit.

AS IF Milo was someone of importance!




OSER!

Naturally, any OTHER gay man needs to be executed, preferably by being burned at the stake, because The Bible (which also says no shrimp, no bacon, no tattoos, no divorces, no jacking off, and no fucking your sister) says Teh Gay Iz Bad, M'kay? But because Milo hates gay people and says things they like to hear, him going down because he approves of pederasty simply must be the work of the Evil Government.

The people who POINTED OUT that Milo advocated child sex abuse are the REAL child abusing sex criminals.

Standard nazi repug propagandic projection.

They don't work even a teeny bit on their stupid alternative narratives, any stupid thing they feel like saying is good enough.
