For the record. Political and entertainment obsession with "optics" has now reached such a disastrous and toxic level that supposedly reputable pundits are criticizing politicians for wearing life-saving items and modeling healthy behaviors.
What you need to understand is that pundits and news entertainers have been submerging you in an illusion for decades now, a fake reality that has nothing to do with our actual lives or betterment of society, but is obsessed with political manipulation and political spectacle.
Politics is not a television show. It's not a sport. It shouldn't be something to watch like a newly released Netflix series. It's about coming together and deciding a way forward to better people's lives.

This obsession with optics and maneuvering is a poison. Period.

Like all other strong men, Donald Trump is a coward and soft and terrified. Hiding in the White House and turning off the lights is all on brand. These are insecure, sad little men who build themselves up with the iconography of fascism to hide their fear.
This is what fascism is. The final respite for insecure, sad, pathetic men. Trump is a coward and a tiny, little man. He has created a cruel character, a bully persona, to hide this. But he’s a fraud. A paper tiger. Trump is so small and so insignificant.
And these white terrorist groups are fronts for pathetic men. They can’t operate in the open because they’re cowards. Period. Fascism is the final respite for the pathetic and sad group of men. It isn’t strength, it’s weakness.

Please. Consider sharing.

This is the emergency message I taped yesterday, detailing everything I've heard about white supremacist terrorists operating in the shadows of the protests and seeking to create a civil war.

Details their motives and plans.

Unfortunately, this is the new method, these disinformation and undercover campaigns. This is how places like Russia, with managed democracies, work. They're fabricated movements and fabricated crises.

It's been happening here for years and it's happening now.
These people are obsessed with exploiting division within the country to create a crisis where they can take over the country and realize a fascist white ethnostate. They have been planning and preparing for this moment for years. Many are using this crisis as their moment.

Listen. There are white supremacists looking to start a race war operating within the protests. They’re escalating tensions to either cause America to collapse or lead to Trump seizing power. Their end goal is a fascistic dictatorship.

It’s not paranoia. It’s happening.
These are accelerationists, following the plan of The Turner Diaries, which inspired Timothy McVeigh to bomb the OKC federal building. This isn’t a conspiracy theory. They’ve been operating and planning and preparing for this for decades.
What I keep hearing and seeing is that these operations are underway in every major protest. You have to understand, this happens everywhere now. It’s a constant thing in managed democracies like Russia. It’s manipulation and it’s happening.
