CCSO Captain Jack Smith makes baseless claims of antifa carrying chainsaws and staging gas cans. No pictures/video, no descriptions of how they are identified as extremists, no fallen electrical lines, nothing confirmed but they know intent.Where do they get info....
...Bob West the sex offender that has only a picture of gas, but no location or how to find location. He rolls with hate Group, Patriot Prayer and has vendetta for antifa after they exposed him for his sex offense. Shares hate of antifa with now suspended cop Mark Nicolai
Cop Mark Nicolai now suspended. He used hand sign commonly used by hate groups, tweeted "hail Trump" and "gas them" when referring to violence on protesters and complained about media covering a story of peaceful protester being shot in the face. His social media is disabled now

So the #Antifa boogeyman is now being blamed 4 wild fires across the country. Apparently George Soros is sending out Antifa to start forest fires. Of course this is completely not true & has been debunked by law enforcement & local officials. Here are two recent #disinfo examples ImageImage
Quick shout out to @ContextFall & @dragnetizen for sending these examples. On Facebook its even worse & an absolute sea of dumb. Also its good to know that the fake @ScarsdaleAntifa account, inciting violence & falsely claiming #AntifaFires is responsible is now suspended Image
#Antifa is the top trending hashtag in Colorado Springs at it was due to this tweet from a local pastor. Its interesting because it appears to be boosted by one of the #Mighty200 accounts @LeahR77. This is also an account that I believe President Trump has retweeted on occasion. Image

I saw similar fear mongering when I fought the campfire in '18. Then you all said space lasers. Now you saw antifa is lighting fires. False claims that fuel significant tensions while police departments have issued statements that these claims are false.

The fear is real. Stop spreading rumors. #antifascistfirefighters are working hard and they are straight up worried about being homeless while doing their job. I too wonder if I'll be homeless this week.

With the far-right spreading ridiculous rumors about “ANTIFA” starting the forest fires, this might be a good time to reflect on rumors and disinformation as a tactic of disruption.

The far-right is adept at weaponizing rumors and misinformation. Donald Trump is exemplary of this: he’s always just saying random shit that he himself may or may not believe is true, and that BS is reported as if it were fact by the right-wing media apparatus.
And of course his disciples and peers follow his lead, spinning conspiracy after conspiracy—from QAnon to “antifa wildfires”. Right-wingers then use this batshit info to craft their worldview, and orient themselves towards certain actions. In response, the centrist and left media
