    In my opinion, random acts of violence ultimately don’t accomplish much. For true, lasting change, we need to build a real movement, rather than just shooting the people most to blame for our problems. Bastards are easily replaced, and often the replacement bastard is worse than the original. We need to kill the system itself.

    So… He attends the dinner for the first time after 5 years of not going… And there’s a shooter that doesn’t actually shoot anyone?

    They’re not even attempting to hide their false flags anymore are they?

      No. This is an excuse to boost his plummeting numbers and use more heavy handed security practices and remove human rights. Just like the fake assassination attempt that they murdered two people for during the campaign.

        Yeah… That’s exactly what I’m talking about. That’s the purpose of a false flag. Hide the source to give yourself an excuse to do what you want but can’t yet justify.

        A false flag operation is an act committed with the intent of disguising the actual source of responsibility and pinning blame on another party.

          I think they’re just agreeing with you.

          You: They’re not hiding… Are they? Reply: No, they are not.

          The best evidence that it’s a false flag is that the ruler class doesn’t want you to think it’s a false flag. The probably armed that guy in the pizza parlor basement just minutes before the attack.

    Lol, in a place where he probably felt safe. I hope he just gives up and goes to prison, because he’s gonna have to survive another 2 and a half years of this.
