Wikipedia Claims ‘Attempted Coup’ at Capitol Was a Result of GamerGate
Breitbart ^ | 06/02/2021 | T.D. Adler

Posted on 06/02/2021 10:37:22 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Earlier this year, the Wikipedia page on GamerGate, the anti-corruption movement in gaming, saw extensive updates about the “legacy” of the movement and associated controversies. These edits pushed claims that GamerGate, which Wikipedia labels a “harassment campaign” due to a years-long effort by left-wing editors, helped Donald Trump become President in 2016 and that the movement even contributed to what the page called an “attempted coup” at the Capitol on January 6.

It was acknowledged in Congressional testimony that not a single person detained during this attempted coup was armed with any kind of weapon. Something doesn’t compute here.

There was an attempted coup??? Damn, I miss all the good stuff...

BTW, what the hell is GamerGate? On second thought, don’t answer that.

One small problem with the claim...

There was no attempted coup.

Gamergate isn’t an entity. It’s a label made up by leftists.

The Coup was successful, and it occurred on November 3rd & 4th 2020. We don’t know who spearheaded it but Mark Zuckerberg was a key player.

Even our 10 year-old kid knows Wikipedia is rife with false information.

Gamegate boils down more or less to a bunch of women complaining that gaming men were mean to them. It’s a huge joke. Though at least 1 guy involved with ‘Zoey Quinn’ did kill himself during it, so there’s that.

“Coup”...

I keep hearing that word tossed around about January 6th. If that was a coup, it was the lousiest coup I ever witnessed...

Love it that one of the few verified people from the Jan 6 demo pictures is an actor, playing a role, and definitely left of center.

And the left wing idiots show his picture over and over, but never realize who or what he is.

I knew the Capitol so-called "riot" was a total sham the minute I saw the pudgy pasty self-promoting horned "viking". In real life he is a want-to-be actor who was "auditioning". He wasn't MAGA, just an opportunist. The whole so called "riot" was a farce, co-opted by outsiders, to the detriment of real conservatives who participated.

Still unanswered “Who killed Ashli Babbitt?” Amazing how incurious the "Media" have been.

The coup was active for 5 years, and the effort culminated on November 3-4, 2020. It was Pearl Harbor II. It was an “Act of War” against the US Government and our Constitution, by several foreign powers and supported by a huge number of high level US government officials who enabled the attack.

We have not acknowledged it as an act of war, but it was.

Those who benefited from this have by mass voter fraud taken power and are seeking to destroy the nation.
