White House claims violence incited at Floyd protests linked to Venezuela's Maduro

Source: Miami Herald

The White House said Friday it has information that individuals linked to Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro have incited violence at protests in the United States spurred by George Floyd’s death.

U.S. Sen Rick Scott also highlighted a similar report earlier in the week, promising Wednesday on Twitter that the U.S. government would crack down on any operatives tied to Latin American dictators who instigate conflict in Miami as part of the protests..

Neither offered proof of the allegations, and the White House declined to discuss “non-open source information” that had led to their assessment. Scott cited a Diario Las Américas news report linking back to a blog.

Never to admit a fault or wrong; never to accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time; blame that enemy for everything that goes wrong; take advantage of every opportunity to raise a political whirlwind.


Or,

The phrase was also used in a report prepared during the war by the United States Office of Strategic Services in describing Hitler's psychological profile:[6]

His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.[7]

ENOUGH with the Nazi/Fascist tactics already, this is defacing and disgracing our entire system with toxic propaganda. Everyone: Say NO to this. Point it out.

And the people who were pissed over the death of Ms Taylor, Mabrey and the lady in Central Park threatening the black birdwatcher had not reason to think Me Floyd’s death was the last straw are linked to Madura?

They are really grasping at straws. it was just a perfect storm of outrage that finally lit the protests.

No sources, no actual news. Just conjecture. But, oh, that Venezuelan guy we don't like MUST be fomenting unrest in Miami because, you know, he's a bad actor, don't you know.

Why is that? If Antifa (yesterdays gaslighting BS) or Venezuelans (todays' new gaslighting attempt) were arrested, I'm sure we would have heard about it - but crickets!

he can blame!

And conveniently, if he can get any of this bullshit to stick, he'll have a bogeyman to invade before November 3.

Wtf, and Rick Scott to boot, yep, each time you think the republican looters can't go any lower, they dig some more.
I'm really surprised they haven't discovered that George Soros privately funded the caravans of bad hombres from Venezuela...of course it's only 4:00...

We already know its BS. How bout they(news media) just post that the WH said something that may be of use for Trump supporters. Or not even mention it and allow FOX and AON to refer to it... Sheesh!!

We need a poll!

Get a reputable national firm to set up a poll to determine the number of lies trump has told by November 3, 2020.
A buck an entry with proceeds going to BLM, SNAP, Planned Parenthood (just to piss the "r's" off) or any other deserving organization.

Any predictions?

This is a perfect example of pulling out all the stops. President Nazivomit and his loyal dipshits must truly believe that at least 55% of Americans will believe that bullshit and demand an investigation. And since Superfraud Rick Scott decided to chime in you know beyond any shadow of a doubt it's total bullshit!

Scum, meet bags!
