Pay Attention
If you spend some time digging you will find that one of the main organizers for the white nationalist protest was a democrat who worked for Obama campaign and was a lead organizer for Occupy Wallstreet. If you keep digging further you will find that a lead organizer for the BLM and Antifa protesters is openly anti-Semitic having organized anti Israel protests on college campuses. If this seems unusual to you then you need to brush up on what agitators do and how they work to manipulate public sentiment and politics. .
I was walking through a plaza in Chicago in the mid 70's lost in thought and suddenly noticed that the guy next to me was in a classic brown shirt with a red arm band with a swastica on it. then I notice a couple dozen people around me similary dressed. I had wandered into a Nazi gathering. I scurried out past the line of police surrounding them. I felt chilled but not in danger.
I wonder if the same would be true if I accidentally wandered into an antifa gathering.
I haven't seen any explanation of how a conspiracy would work, but I"ll try to make one up.
1. President Trump's critics come up with a plan to undermine him.
My thought: When it comes to his job and actions as president, President Trump is nothing extraordinary, so I can't see people singling him out for a conspiracy any more than Obama, W Bush, Clinton, or Bush. But I accept at that level there's always an incentive for political shenanigans.
2. The conspirators hire agitators to rile up extremists: racists and communists.
My thought: If the conspirators and agitators pull this off, there had to be a good number of extremists present already. The conspirators would not have the power to radicalize large numbers of people under the radar. They could only tip the scales a little.
3. The plan would be to undermine President Trump in these ways:
a) Any time racist idiots do anything, some of President Trump's critics are quick to blame it on Trump. The president always takes some heat for stuff that happens on his watch. Trump takes even more heat because open racists support him and he doesn't decisively disavow them.
b) The conspirators knew that President Trump would mishandle the response.
c) Even if none of this works, just having a crisis opens opportunities for change. So people who want new gun laws, more surveillance, more police powers might get them if there are frequent riots.
My thought: I see A, but none of the rest. Regarding B, President Trump might have delivered that standard message he gave this past weekend. His critics would have harped on it no matter what, but even a humdrum message condemning violence and expressing sympathy for people hurt might have been a win for him. And there was a chance he would have turned on some of his locked-and-loaded bravado and it would have resonated and strengthened him. Regarding C, a crisis can open opportunities, but there's no guarantee they'll be what the conspirators want. Crises come along naturally frequently enough that the conspirators could just wait for the next one and focus on their plan to exploit it rather than fomenting the crisis itself.
Maybe the difference between me and people who see a conspiracy is that I find his comments on Monday reprehensible and stupid. I say stupid b/c he could have let the issue die, focused on other things, and his critics would be left trying to milk everything they can out of a tragedy. I think they're reprehensible because it sounded like he was defending Nazis. If the comments weren't really offensive and the media presentation of them tainted my view, then the conspiracy is totally working on me because I find him patently offensive. It's working on a lot of people. If the media have this much power of manipulation, why did they even need to agitate racists?
What's the conspiracy and qui bono? I usually see human error where other people see conspiracies, but in this case I cannot even the potential conspiracy scenario. Suppose Kessler is an agent of a conspiracy. How would the plan go?
I agree. They're guaranteed in the Constitution for the unusual situations, e.g. Nazi protests or someone shooing up a school, when reasonable people might vote for the gov't to take away people's rights. The Constitution is for these abnormal situations, making the gov't respect rights regardless of what the majority thinks. I agree we need a reset and to start respecting them absolutely.
He is not paid, nor a plant, he has not changed his mind.
This person is an attention seeker.
A very profitable outlet for attention seekers is to be a political activist.
Right, wrong, good or bad have no relevance.
There is the adrenalin from street marches with placards and raised fists and the thrill of
making inflammatory statements and speeches in front of adulating applauding audiences.
Edit add: Actually, the left stream media wanted to create the scenario where they could force Trump to condemn ONLY the neo-Nazis and let their thuggish "side" (Antifa) off the hook. Since Trump caved, their plan worked.
I saw this the other day.
The left is pounding the racist label on to the dissatisfied Americans who voted no to the establishment and the PC disease. Never have I witnessed a more concerted effort to destroy our chosen President and to incite racial tensions. We do have a clear view of the statist collectivist ceo's who have walked away from Trump.
These intended violent protests unfortunately maybe just the early innings so to speak.
Racist radicals or anti-Fa are insignificant wastes.
All is an effort to further divide and funnel. It distracts from the ineptitude of congress to repeal the disastrous ACA. The attacks and lies and unfounded charges against Trump with no evidence is relentless.
An UN Civil war.
