Charlottesville and Its Aftermath: What if It Was a Setup?
American Thinker ^ | 08/18/2017 | Patricia McCarthy

Posted on 08/18/2017 10:32:43 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

The ridiculous campaign by virtually every media outlet, every Democrat and far too many squishy Republicans to label Trump some kind of  racist and Nazi sympathizer is beginning to have the stink of an orchestrated smear.   The conflagration in Charlottesville is beginning to feel like a set-up, perhaps weeks or months in the planning.  Planned by whom?  Time may tell.  We know that Michael Signer, the mayor of Charlottesville, declared his city to be the "capital of the resistance" just after Trump's inauguration.  We know that Gov. Terry McAuliffe is a corruptocrat, joined at the hip to the Clintons.  He pardoned sixty-thousand felons in order to ensure he delivered his state to the presidential election of Hillary Clinton.  We know he would like to run for president himself.

We know that Obama and his inner circle have set up a war room in his D.C. home to plan and execute resistance to the Trump administration and his legislative agenda.  None of these people care about the American people, or the fact that Trump won the election because millions of people voted for him.  They suggest those deranged persons who gathered in Charlottesville as members of one of several fringe groups, Unite The Right, neo-Nazi or KKK, are Trump's base -- as if there are more than a few hundred or thousand of them throughout the country.  There are not enough of them to affect anything or elect anyone.  Those who are actual members of these small groups are most likely mentally ill to one degree or another. Trump has disavowed them all, over and over and over again.  Liz Crokin, an entertainment reporter and no fan of Trump, wrote

What if Signer and McAuliffe, in conjunction with Antifa and other Soros-funded groups like Black Lives Matter, planned and orchestrated what happened in Charlottesville and meant for events to unfold roughly as they did?  If they did,  it was icing on their sick, immoral cake.  If this was all part of a plan, one would hope those behind it suffer for their part in and responsibility for the tragic death of a young woman, Heather Heyer.  The "founder" of Unite The Right, Jason Kessler,  was an activist with Occupy Wall Street and Obama supporter. 

Jason Kessler at Charlottesville City Hall, August 13, 2017

He sees himself as a professional provocateur. What if he was a ringer, a phony who revels in riling up some crazy people for some political purpose?  We know the left is skilled in all manner of dirty tricks.  That sort of thing was Robert Creamer's job for the Hillary campaign, hiring thugs to incite violence that could then be blamed on Trump supporters.  Think of Ferguson, Baltimore, Berkeley, etc.  Antifa and BLM are every bit as fascist as any of the supremacist groups; they are more violent and there are more of them.  Why is the left so afraid to admit this fact?  Even Peter Beinart did in the Atlantic, written before last Saturday.

I believe it was a set-up and would not be surprised if Soros funded both sides.
This is an excuse to start the removal of all symbols of American history, culture, values and way of life.

IMHO, the Charlottesville fiasco was planned long ago. The same person was running both sides of this alt-left production number.

I always perceived it to be a setup by the Trump-baiting news media. The MSM is our greatest enemy.

Circumstantial evidence indicates to me that this was planned political/media event by long-term Clinton crony and bag-man Governor Terry McAuliffe and Leftist-establishment Charlottesville Mayor Michael Signor. They no doubt have learned a lot about political media events from the Clintons, and manufacturing narratives from Obama and #BLM riots in Ferguson, Baltimore and elsewhere.

As in Berkeley, they allowed violence to occur, to attempt to stake themselves a perverted moral high ground, and to coordinate an immediate media narrative to attack Donald Trump. McAuliffe has already been caught in a lie claiming the demonstrators had “cached weapons.” Several police apparently publicly have admitted they were told to “stand down.”

In my own view, the speed at which McAuliffe took the podium last Saturday, and the uniformity of media slogans immediately afterward was also very telling.

Of course it was. C-Ville PD not keeping the groups separate? Where was the tear gas? In this day and age, with the college town’s rep on the line, and the presumably riot-trained police??

Even the ACLU acknowledges something wasn’t right about the logistics

Violence was the intent. The only thing that didn’t work according to script, was they wanted (and hoped) that guns would be used. Since it was only a scared kid in a car, the narrative had to shift to “running intentionally into ‘peaceful heroes’” of Antifa BLM and duped young people like Heather Heyer.

Check out Craig’sList - liberal elite thugs are hiring people around the country to pretend there’s a big ‘movement’...

Corrupt liberal ‘elites’ have decided THEY should make the call on who runs the country - and predictably enough they have chosen themselves as the people who must take up the mantle. The ‘mobs’ are hired to give the optics that the country agrees with them. Hitler used the same tactics in the early years before he took over power.

‘Duly elected’ doesn’t matter to the ‘elites’ ... Liberal elites and some Conservative elites want to steal the power of the people.

There’s no country run by self appointed ‘elites’ that hasn’t devolved into a hellhole. Coups by ‘elites’ don’t work. The justification that they are bravely standing up to about 4,000 people in the country stupid enough to be ‘Nazis or KKK’ members - when those groups are TOTALLY POWERLESS IN OUR TIME - IS NUTS.

The time when those groups - Nazis and the KKK - were at their most evil was when THEY WERE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THEIR TIME.

If five people walk up to me and tell me they are “Stalinists” - I’m NOT going to freak out thinking they’re the same as the group that starved over seven million people to death. WHEN STALINISTS DID THEIR EVIL THEY WERE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THEIR TIME.

Our liberal establishment is using mentally ill losers who self identify in our time as KKK and Nazi as an excuse to do evil to our county. Hitler used Jews to gather the mob to his side... Jim Crow Southerns used Emmitt Til and others like him... and OUR CORRUPT ELITES are using mentally ill idiots self identifying a hate group members from the past.

Corrupt Elites are the people we must fight... the Establishment elites of our time who are working to take away our freedom to choose our own leaders. They’re the problem of this time...

“Corrupt Elites’ who are using the same tactics of every other thug group in history...

I don’t want mobs taking down statues. I don’t want the mob to run anything. I don’t want people who work to gin up the mob running the country. I don’t want ‘elites’ or members of the press who think it’s OK to lie if it’s ‘for the cause’... Too many red flags on the left...

I have to ask this:

What would have happened if that guy had not sped his car through the crowd?

There were two “violent” and socially unhindered that vehemently oppose each other coming together. Both sides were armed, though not with guns. The police had been told to stand down and were doing so.

What would normally be the result of such an event?

Did the driver of the car inadvertantly diffuse what was meant to be a major spark for CWII?

Seriously.

The first witness to speak to the news media and to tweet about the event is Brennan Gilmore. He was presented as an accidental witness, but who is he really?

Here is his first tweet:

Excellent answer, Brennan Gilmore.

"This is an excuse to start the removal of all symbols of American history, culture, values and way of life."

It's been the goal since promulgation of the Humanist Manifesto in 1933.
(Which, despite it's ostensible authorship was the brainchild of John Dewey.)

Soros is a relative newcomer to this movement.
His hatred for America is directly derived from his upbringing as a Nazi
and resentment that The Reich was beaten in WWII.

As I suggested in my previous post, is it possible that the driver of the car inadvertently released a safety valve, preventing what was orchestrated to be a much worse clash?

I’m starting to think that mayhem was supposed to happen and the left is irritated with Trump’s response because it is not aligned with the response they needed for the mayhem. Other than the one guy acting out, it never really escalated. Instead, it was diffused.

I think you are right. And now they are even attacking Washington. I think they are taking a major step toward their final goal: Destroy the constitution. Discredit the founders, and you discredit their document.

And where would that leave us?

It is as if they were responding what was supposed to happen (mayhem as both groups went after each other physically), rather than what actually happened (lone driver speeds through crowd).

And then there is the info on Kessler.

This thing stinks to high heaven.

The whole thing was/is an Obama operation. And no Rush it’s not the media running this, it’s Obama.

We are sliding towards civil war.

Does it matter? The BSM has labeled every single gathering of the Tea Party as racist Nazis for 9 years. Why was C’Ville different? Because they were able to show a photo of a couple guys with swastikas? In a crowd of a thousand that had no Nazi paraphernalia? We are so afraid of being called names we are worse than the RINOs.

They were trying to provoke a shooting. Which was their most likely scenario. Bait someone enough with insults and bottles and bats, and one responds in self defense

But that wouldn’t matter to them. It would just throw gallons of fuel on the gun control debate they could add to all the other crap.

Anyone with half a brain knows it was a setup. BLM is a bought and paid for bunch of scum wanting destruction of the country. There’s no good end to this.
