Every time I see these things happen it makes me feel in my gut that it's someone forced to do them.
The person that commits them may have aligned with some more wild things, but I feel like these people get targeted and manipulated until they do stuff like this.
Like Q anon... These people that subscribe to that don't realize they are being played out by the deep state they claim to hate.
It feels like there's a psychological war going on and this is exactly how the war is played out, targeting people the can utilize and manifesting events like this so that it looks like a lone wolf.
Q anon, maga, deep state, and gangstalkers.... It all aligns. And it's all intertwined in all aspects of America's foundation.
This is literally the tag line for InfoWars, except their followers don't realize Alex Jones is openly admitting that he's manipulating them with this statement in a fight against some make believe boogeyman.
Right, that's why I say they don't realize they are the pawns of the deep state.
There are definitely more people responsible for this than the one person who pulled a trigger, but he certainly is responsible for that. Being manipulated is not the same as being forced to do something.
I think it's people getting forced to though too. Crime isn't just something for poor street people. It's business, it's politics. The older i get I really it's kind of all bullshit. There is no law and order... There's the game and game players, and then their the people that live under the veil of rules and laws made by the people playing the game. It's scales up from the way gangs and Mafia work all the way up to the government and military.
You get someone desperate, you convince them that they and their opinions matter, you reinforce this thought process and suggest doing something that matters for the "greater good". Welcome to domestic terrorism 101.
