Thank you for your observation on this. It is what hubby and I saw on the tv also.
The way the media is playing it that Trump lead the KKK and then drove the car into the crowd himself.
Stay strong Mr. president, praying for you.
MAGA!!!

That picture strengthens my belief that AG Sessions would lead a fair and better investigation of BOTH sides than gov of Virginia who is a Hillary hack.

We have discussed on this forum that strategy before:

Provoke peaceful protesters/Trump supporters with namecalling, hate signs, rocks, bottles . .. show weapons

Denounce them as “racists” “fascists” whatever, in conjunction with a biased, left wing media that will gladly join/carve the narrative

Evenually, someone breaks. Either attacked or intimidated, reacts with gun (preferably).

Selective editing of film/video, deleting violence except that committed by alt-righter(s)

Blame Trump and conservatives. Pressure cowardly GOPe et al to “condemn” the violence “caused” by the marchers

We see it here, right out of the playbook. It will happen again. They’d love for another Tim McVeigh, and who cares who really is hurt or killed? They are just pawns in “The Resistance”

Can’t imagine we’ll hear the more benign description of ‘statue supporters’ as opposed to ‘white nationalists, Nazis, KKK’ and so forth because the progressive, anti-American media knows that inflammatory rhetoric advances THEIR agenda.

“Your experience is meaningless. Half the Freepers are on the Antifa side it seems.”

The more I review and consider the “soros honeypot theory” the more it makes sense.

Things like this don’t make sense.

“Unite the Right” is a Soros-funded honeypot psyop that employs the “Pied Piper” strategy to damage the Republican brand”

Very plausible. Do you have more evidence of this?

Antifa did block the street and slowed or stopped at least two cars before the Challenger plowed into the cars.

Agreed.

Tiki torches?

What self-respecting right leaning org would adopt a so-patently leftwing theme?

I don’t buy the Soros honey pot theory.

What I think happened is that local Dem politicians and McAuliffe made some calculations about how to handle the protests, and score maximum political points for their side.

The story from Kessler about how the Charlottesville PD failed to provide previously agreed upon security measures needs a very thorough and public examination.

Unless he stupidly gave a statement to police before he obtained counsel, or ran his mouth to a cellmate, his story is this:

“I was just minding my own business driving my car. All the sudden, a large group of violent protesters blocked the street in front of me and kept me from leaving the area. Then another group started to physically attack my car while shouting threats of violence and blocking the rear.

I feared for my life so I attempted to escape what I considered to be a legitimate threat of death or serious bodily injury by driving forward into the crowd blocking the street. I felt I had no choice in choosing this option because those attacking me left me no other option. I had no desire or intention to hurt anyone at any time and I am saddened that injury resulted.”

Your experience is meaningless. Half the Freepers are on the Antifa side it seems.

More than that - many of them are paid disinformation agents from various leftist outlets. The gameplan is to create an incident, then try to discredit those who would contradict the leftist talking points using argument or eyewitness accounts. Signs that someone is a paid disinformant:

1) They try to characterise the entire rally, and movement by extension, as "Nazis," "white supremacists," "KKK," etc., despite this applying perhaps to only a small minority of participants.

2) Their talking points sound identical or very similar to those put out by hard left outlets. Hint: they sound the same because they come from the same source.

3) They will claim the right-wing organization in question is funded or otherwise substantially supported by Soros, the Rockefellers, SPLC, ACLU, or some other group which they know conservatives are hostile toward.

4) They will encourage conservatives to "punch right," so as to disunite those all across the right end of the spectrum who are largely agreed in opposing major elements of the leftist agenda.

5) They will often claim to be present or ex-military or police so as to lend an "official" or "patriotic" aura to what they say.

Keep in mind that many left-wing orgs have spent years infiltrating conservative and right-wing outlets, with the dual purpose of converging them leftward (i.e. taking over leadership and subverting them) and sowing dissention within the ranks. Free Republic has assuredly been targeted as well. Watch out!

What Trump should’ve said said, Peaceful Americans were prevented from expressing their freedom of speech, opinions, and rights in a free setting as citizens, by elements of hate from both right and left extreme groups some being supported and financed by political groups from within and outside our borders. By all indications, at this time, it was facilitated by the inaction of the local enforcement groups, allowing the groups to intermingle and to attack one or the other, apparently to allow political groups within the state to take advantage of the situation to enact a state of emergency thereby denying law abiding citizens their rights!

That and identifying those citizens, and associating “white people and citizens as the major part of the racist elements involved and as the problem are the egregious despicable acts that must be corrected and not be allowed to be hijacked by the media in their fake news narratives going forward!

How does the left assemble so quickly and get their professional signs and so forth. They seem very organized and can respond on a dime. How long was this demonstration planned for and how was it discovered by the left?
