9. Not if they are disguised - they

infiltrate on the far left, then they have out of control T supporting police. Made for TV violence. All staged to look like the l"eft wing violence in the big cities".

I don't care that no evidence has been found yet. It is pretty darn clear that a fair amount of violence comes from infiltrators. I sat next to one such guy on a plane once. It was obvious what he and his buds were on the payroll to instigate. And sure enough, shop windows smashed, etc.

The reichwing is good at this. We ignore the risk at our own peril.

Especially since David Brooks keeps predicting it.

One has to wonder who/what David Brooks' sources are. Was he asked how he's so certain of this happening? ancianita Apr 2024 #12
