One of the reasons that conspiracy theories and internet sleuthing are on the rise is because there’s a critical breakdown in trust between the public and the government.
That breakdown can be organic and it can also be manufactured. Either way, it breeds distrust, suspicion, and drives a frenetic need in the public to uncover the “truth.”
We saw that happen in 2016 with the left’s obsession over all things “Russia.” Those conspiracy theories ran amok for four-plus years, and were fueled by political leaders and the mainstream media which convinced a large swath of the public that Vladimir Putin was secretly running the White House.
The left sincerely thought they were completely justified in what they believed — they felt distrust, disenfranchised, and out of control.
In the end their conspiracy was proven false, but to this day, many on the left are still wearing their tinfoil hats and pushing the Russia nonsense.
In all fairness, the right also engages in conspiracy theories as well — again, it’s human nature to distrust the “powers that be.”
And one incident that has sparked a lot of different theories and internet sleuthing is the melee that unfolded at the Capitol on January 6th.

Consider this:
George Floyd was killed after a police officer knelt on his neck while he was reportedly resisting arrest. That police officer was convicted of murder.
Daunte Wright was killed by a police officer while reportedly resisting arrest on an outstanding warrant for attempted robbery. That officer has been charged with manslaughter.
Ashlii Babbit was killed by a police officer while illegally in the Capitol building. Tha tpolice officer not only faces no consequences, but we are not allowed to know the officer’s name.
See the difference?

Is this from the article posted by the OP?
Is there going to be a permanent exhibit of the Puerto Rican separatist attack on the US Capitol?
Hah.......
I’m open to the
Truth,
and we are not
Being allowed that.
Wuhan,
Election and
Ashli are examples.
We all need to pressure those cowards in the House and Senate and demand they reveal the person who shot Ashli Babbitt.
Ashli didn’t die that day, but the DS may have taken her out very recently. 29 year old woman with no name in the article.
