Conspiracy theories, both powerful and enduring, can wreak havoc on society. In recent years, fringe ideas prompted a gunman to storm a Washington, D.C. pizzeria and may have motivated another to fatally shoot 11 worshippers inside a Pittsburgh synagogue. They are also largely to blame for a worldwide surge in measles cases that has sickened more people in the U.S. in the first half of 2019 than in any full year since 1994.
Now, the FBI says conspiracy theories very likely inspire domestic terrorists to commit criminal and sometimes violent acts and very likely will emerge, spread and evolve on internet platforms, according to an intelligence bulletin obtained by Yahoo News. The May 30 document from the FBIs Phoenix field officethe first of its kind to examine the threat of conspiracy-driven extremistsalso says the 2020 presidential election will likely fuel conspiracy theories, potentially motivating domestic extremists who subscribe to them.

So, basically, non-approved speech is “dangerous”. Uh, huh.
Adults can’t be allowed to play with anything deemed dangerous by the MSM.
Thats the message for the sheeple.
The subtext is for those leftists that suddenly develop a conscience; you would be next.
None of us did. He did say in numerous interviews over the years and decades before he would be interested one day in becoming POTUS but they just seemed like casual musings at the time.

The FBI is laying the groundwork to cover its own evil deeds during the 2016 election coup attempt by labeling any exposed findings of their evil as “conspiracy theories”.
Rush has always had an Overton Window problem:

Even if he saw something he liked outside the window he was afraid to go outside and smell the roses. ;-)

This is the darkest under-belly of the propagandist media; Controlling what is declared “conspiracy theory” versus which conspiracy theories they can call news.
The very fact that they want to denounce conspiracy theories in extreme duplicity considering their track record in recent years, perhaps only to be outdone by MSNBC.
The motive behind articles like this is fear. Fear of losing control of the narrative, and it’s obviously prompted by recent talk about Epstein’s death. The fear is, that death will not adequately cover up the collateral damage he was going to inflict in the political world.
So now, it’s a war on “conspiracy theories”
Good grief. These people are a joke. One of the great media purveyors of conspiracy theories is now warning against conspiracy theories. How about looking in the mirror CNN and noticing your “journalistic ethics” are dropping rapidly to National Enquirer levels.
Of course, they don’t consider that they are peddling conspiracy theories because they check all their stories first with the “experts” that work at the DNC...
Isn’t the Washington, D.C. pizzeria tied to Epstein and the Clinton’s?
The real question is: “If CNN says something and there are no viewers to hear it, are they still full of $hit?”
I stopped at “FBI says....”. I’m sorry but the FBI has no credibility.
People have also killed for voices in their heads, talking furniture, space aliens, politicians, material wealth, character actors and numerous other reasons. What’s your point ?
