When we hear such things in the months to come, remember that these mythologies are usually a warning: what the left is alleging is, quite often, precisely what the left is already doing.
Since 2016, there has been a clear pattern to left-wing conspiracies—beyond the obvious fact that they traffic in lies, stereotypes, and paranoia to serve precise political agendas.
We now know that the conspiracy to cook up the Russian-collusion hoax—Donald Trump allegedly conniving with Vladimir Putin to rig the 2016 vote—was perpetrated by the Hillary Clinton campaign. Its funding was hidden by the Democratic National Committee, the law firm Perkins Coie, and Fusion GPS.
The Russian “disinformation” laptop hoax—the notion that the same Russians four years later created a fake Hunter Biden laptop to smear the Biden family on the eve of the first 2020 debate—was jumpstarted by the Biden campaign’s then-chief foreign policy advisor, current Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
There was never much evidence that a wayward bat or pangolin in a meat market birthed the COVID-19 pandemic, despite the efforts of China, Western and international health officials, and Dr. Fauci’s health bureaucrats to spread that lie.
The January 6th riot was certainly wrong and buffoonish. But the idea that it was an insurrection aiming to violently overthrow the U.S. government was also a left-wing myth fueled by the Democratic House leadership and the media.
All these schemes have their commonalities:
1) They are aimed at achieving political objectives.
False claims of Russian collusion likely drained millions of votes from the 2016 Trump candidacy.
A later conservative poll found that Russian disinformation may have swung enough voters to ensure a 2020 Trump loss. It certainly saved Joe Biden in the first debate when he faced the American people and flat-out lied about the laptop...

From the above, we can assume that conspiracies successfully achieve left-wing goals. The hoaxes are used by bureaucracies against conservatives and Republican candidates. They are spread like wildfire by a corrupt media and, when exposed and refuted, rarely lead to legal culpability or disgrace rather than publicity-driven lucrative post-scandal employment.

Fantastic article. Required reading for those living under a rock or drinking DNC Kool Aid by the gallon daily.

Had the Capitol Police and embedded FIBs not been successful in provoking a few protesters to enter the Peoples’ House, the fake pipe bombs would have been used as the excuse to stop the debate on vote fraud and round people up and blame Trump.

Speaking of Russians...heard THREE pastors discussing nuclear attack by Russians from “any moment’ to “within 60 days” yesterday...what do they know?

. i think pelosis j6 film crew filmed both scripts, maybe even more, to take advantage of which ever falseflag took hold.
I clicked to the site and was immediately greeted by an ad for porn.
I use DuckDuckGo and enable the pop-up blocker.
That sounds like it could be Google AdSense shenanigans.
And, on the precipice of a possible return to the White House by DJT, they’ve started the mantra “these political prosecutions have stop.”
I doubt it, but I’m hoping we’ve learned our lesson. Equal justice under law, doesn’t mean you let everybody off who’s committed crimes to stop “political prosecutions.” It means wherever real crimes are suspected, they are investigated and prosecuted accordingly. And then sentenced according to preestablished guidelines, regardless of last name or political affiliation.
“Without fear or favor”
Oh for crying out loud, LOOK UP THE MEANING OF TREASON: Treason is the crime of attacking a state authority to which one owes allegiance.[1] This typically includes acts such as participating in a war against one’s native country, attempting to overthrow its government, spying on its military, its diplomats, or its secret services for a hostile and foreign power, or attempting to kill its head of state.
What on earth was attacked on 1/6/2021. It was a protest that got out of hand and during which many protesters were ALLOWED IN THE CAPITOL.
Agree, but that’s not the Constitutional definition of treason! No other definition matters!
“....
Article III
Section 1.
Section 2.
Section 3.
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.
The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted.
.....”
Treason is a very hard charge to make in the US. The Founding Fathers deliberately made it so. Marshall at the Burr Trial set the bar even higher. We’ve had very few convictions of treason that have stood up to judicial challenge even in time of war.
They have attacked this nation & the sitting president undermining his every initiative without regard of the fact that they were perfectly legal initiatives that benefitted the American people. So, there was plenty of treason involved, regardless of the fact that you obviously are incapable of seeing. Perhaps you are an anti-Trump person. Regardless, you certainly oblivious to the reality that treason was executed that day, J6, to place false blame upon Trump. Since then they have used those false claims to attack Trump in ways no other president of the U.S. has been attacked.
