Oh yay, yippee-yay, yet another chapter has to be devoted to whack-a-mole refuting of ridiculous conspiracy theories and disinformation cooked up in Russian troll farms, then swarmed across social media by those most gullible and most easily misled and deceived: conservative Christians, apparently.
This is a major, well-known "prophetic" evangelical organization in USA, happy to be instrumental in leading millions of people astray:
The Elijah List, Prophet Charli Shamp: "Don't let the media lie to you. We were there and the violence was coming from ANTIFA supporters dressed in MAGA clothinig. We assembled peacefully outside the building to voice our protest against this fraudulent alection and pray for America!"
This is what we know:
1. Far right conservatives planned the protests.
2. They posted and boasted about it everywhere.
3. They shrieked that they were "INVITED BY THE PRASIDANT!"
4. They took selfies and bragged all over social media.
5. They waved their Jesus signs and erected a cross, right beside and among people with white supremacist, neo-Nazi and Qanon regalia ... and a lynching gallow.
5. They said it was Antifa (people who are anti-Fascist) dressed UP as them.
All over my Facebook feed, I am still seeing Q-deluded Christians posting their entrenched conviction that the virus is a hoax, the election was a steal and the Capitol riots are the fault of Antifa.
They flip helplessly between denial, delusion and blame projection like stranded trout dying on a sunny bank.
How to even unravel the crazy, when their Compulsive-Liar-in-Chief has de-legitimized all fact-based media, fact-checking, data analysis and reality testing?
Oh well. Here goes nothing. *eye roll*
Fact checking Republicans' unsubstantiated claims that Antifa infiltrated Capitol rio
Trump loyalists push evidence-free claims that antifa activists fueled mob
The claims are typical of many that arise during major news events and particularly violent acts; fringe communities often label them "false flag" attacksThe right's new conspiracy theory: blame left for Capitol riot
This guy clearly didn't get the memo. He needs to keep up with his machine-gun-fire, logic-whip-lash conspiracy theories better:
Auburn man arrested after Capitol riot said he wasn’t Antifa, contradicting claims by Alabama lawmaker
DCNF INVESTIGATES: Was Antifa Responsible For The Capitol Riot?
Qanonsenser Lin Wood and Will Watson seem to disagree about who's who:
“They wanna call me Antifa because I have a videogame tattoo on my hand
and I was pleading for peaceful discourse,” Watson, who promoted Trump’s
election fraud claims, said on Snapchat after the riot. “Let ’em say
what they will. The fake news won’t win against the thousands of
patriots who recorded today.”
The Military Times (note: not "Mainsteam Media") does not think this guy was Antifa:
For Some Christians, the Capital Riot Doesn't Change the Prophecy - Trump Will Be President
#italyDidit: Did an Italian IT guy hack the US elections from Germany through “Fucino Tower”? Here are the facts so far
Fact check: Claims of electoral fraud in Rome, dubbed 'ItalyGate,' are baseless
January 9, 2021
"No evidence of switched votes or electoral fraud, per multiple officials
The claims in both videos on "ItalyGate" are baseless. They are also easily contradicted by statements from multiple federal officials who have found no proof of electoral fraud."
