Another MAGA conspiracy theory implodes: Arizona man was not an FBI plant to stage Jan. 6 attack after all
MSN ^ | May 5, 2022 | Matthew Chapman

Posted on 06/01/2022 4:27:04 AM PDT by The_Media_never_lie

On Thursday, The New York Times revealed new evidence debunking a longtime conspiracy theory among Trump supporters about the January 6 Capitol insurrection: that an Arizona man named Ray Epps was deputized as an FBI informant to instigate the attack.

"The claims, made in congressional hearing rooms, on Fox News and at Mr. Trump’s political rallies, have largely been based on a video taken just before violence erupted at the Capitol, showing Mr. Epps at the barricades outside the building whispering into the ear of a man named Ryan Samsel," reported Alan Feuer.

The New York Times is the same newspaper that received a Pulitzer Prize in the 1930s for the lies of one Walter Duranty and have never rejected it. Duranty, a KGB stooge whom they plied with vodka and prostitutes, wrote glowingly of the success of state communism and denied there was any Stalin induced famine in Ukraine. Stalin killed eight million Ukrainians through starvation; this would be like people in Iowa not having anything to eat bc all foodstuffs were exported to get foreign exchange. So the NY Times has a long history of lying and it continues.

I want to know who the fool with the megaphone is. The “scaffold commander” is the pseudonym he has been given. Was he trying to calm down the crowd, too?

MSN? Weren’t these the same trumpteers who heralded for the world to believe that Russian had the GOODS, and it was bad for Donald J. Trump? If the FBI said it, or denied it, their credibility in my CREDIT SCORE at my social credit is ZERO. Not buying it, the entire operation was a HIT PIECE and they laid traps and purposely had intended to get innnocent people expressing dissent into lockdowns and prisons. WE have all been hijacked. I was there. NO ONE of the hundreds I saw had any desire to overthrow a REGIME, we just made our voices known, we would like an investigation to reports of voter fraund. They took this and created their NARRATIVE.. Wait til the Fall when we can show our total disapproval.

“Fact-checking” by the NYT to restore the narrative.

This was to be the job of the Disinformation Governance Board.

Obviously, what we saw in the news was merely it’s formal organization for budgetary reasons.

It is NOT DOA: The ‘Ministry of Truth’ is alive & well and its tentacles reach far & wide.

Basically, “We asked Mr. Epps and the FBI, and they denied any connection. Case closed.” And Sussman was innocent too. Case closed.

Just like the Tydings committee that questioned commies who had been named by Joseph McCarthy. They all denied ever having anything to do with the Communist Party. Case closed.

the tell was when some congressman publicly thanked epps for testifying. if you had any doubts at that point, that sealed it.

Well said, rlmorel.

Through tatter’d clothes small vices do appear;
Robes and furr’d gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold,
And the strong lance of justice hurtless breaks:
Arm it in rags (and Viking horns), a pigmy’s straw does pierce it.

None does offend, none, I say, none; I’ll able ‘em:
Take that of me, my friend, who have the power
To seal the accuser’s lips. Get thee glass eyes;
And like a scurvy politician, seem
To see the things thou dost not.

King Lear

Anyone who thought that a Washington , D.C. Jury would convict Sussman is not grounded in reality. He could have taken full page ads in the newspaper and announced "I lied to the FBI" and the Jury would have walked him.

What is being ignored by the sheep is: Everywhere the FBI went to arrest and arrested those who were in the Capitol Building or could not prove that they were not in the Capitol Building was this notation on the end of the Press Release, The Local Authorities aided in the arrests. Or the Local Authorities Assisted in the arrests. Kinda like the Western European local police rounding up and arresting the Jews and holding them before turning them over to the SS to be transported to the extermination camps. The same thing will happen to us. Schools will continue to be shot up. Mass shootings will continue. Mass shootings will continue. Congress will pass feelgood laws that they know will have no effect. The media will continue to whip up the sheep's emotions. Until, in the end the people will demand that the Government takes up all privately owned firearms. And the public at large will drop a dime on all those hold out. How long it will take for it to get to that state is the only question remaining to be answered. But the FBI and CIA have an unlimited pool of idiots hid out and ready to go be released. They also have the firearms for them. All they need to do is shoot them full of bug juice and point them in the direction they need to go.

Matthew Chapman might as well be a random computer generated name attributed to this article as jounalist/author.

The article itself is modified template from the ministry of disinformation.

That’s what your looking at.

That settles it. If the Old Grey Whore says it’s not so, then we know it must be true.

Nice job quoting Shakespeare!

Sigh.

They feel fully emboldened to tell us these things to our face.
