Please note the following comes from Business Insider, which I don't think that many people would consider to be a a loony extremist news source.

5 conspiracy theories that turned out to be true - Business Insider
That is an interesting theory, but has some holes. The examples that were given have been known to be true for a long time. Even during the periods of history they list, especially those in the 60s were known at the time, so they were not really 'conspiracy theories.'

As far as Jones and his fellow conspiracy spreaders (including Trump), I don't think any of the current 'powers that be' are smart enough to put out fake conspiracy theories in the hopes of hiding a few. And so many of the Jones-type conspiracy theories are just so dumb--if these are put out by the 'powers that be' I think they be paranoid idiots, and I think they believe them.

He's walking the edge. He can talk about it and predict it all day, and everyoine knows what he's full of.

If he starts calling for one side or the other to take up arms or cause harm, he crosses the line away from the right to Free Speech.

If there was a memo sent out on this I didn’t get it and I get tons of stuff from the Democrats almost every day. I doubt they would start a civil war just a few month before taking over Congress and impeaching Trump. It’s much more likely some halfwit Trumper will do something outlandish.

It is?

http://6abc.com/society/rally-turns-...regon/3685119/

Now its hard to figure out who is who but the Patriot Prayer group held a rally. Antifa went to that rally. Thus it was not the Patriot Prayer group going to an Antifa rally. Its was Antifa going to their rally. Their complaint was not that the people at the rally were hitting people. It was that they were using hate speech. Mean while Antifa says you can hit bad people. Who is stalking whom?

Yes there is a civil war going on. Its simply that most are not participating.

The left has clearly already started the civil war. Antifa will attack any group or event that the left doesn't like. So----it's ON. And now Antifa---every single member----must be absolutely destroyed, at every possible turn, with absolutely no mercy. They must not be given even an inch to escape. If they are found on the street, they must be attacked and hammered into dust.
