Of course they did, they’re the FBI. The same way nearly every FOILED “terrorist plot” since 9/11 has been instigated by the FBI, and Federal informants.

FBI agents honey trapped lonely brown boys with fake online girlfriends, who then pushed them hard to commit acts of terrorism.

Do I think Congressman Dumbfuck is speaking in good faith, or even with a generally firm grasp on reality? Ha, no. Clay Higgins is easily one of the dumbest people to ever serve in Congress.

But that doesn’t mean he’s wrong about this one specific issue.

Wait, isn’t this exactly what was done to the BLM Black Lives Matter supporter groups by anti-black people?

Remember how BLM rallies across the country kept finding pallets of bricks randomly on the streets?

For a movement that has no other organization, “somehow someone” organized to gather thousands of dollars per city to get pallets of bricks delivered to the middle of roads, and somehow police doing patrols the day before didn’t question a random pallet of bricks in the street.

I can’t recall if the bricks were substantiated, but there was a man with an umbrella who was identified as a white supremacist smashing things to start riots at the George Floyd protests. I remember people on Reddit pointing the umbrella out in multiple videos.

It sounds like a conspiracy theory so here are news reports:

Yes! I remember the umbrella guy “infiltrating” BLM marches to do bad things and get BLM blamed.

So, how did the conspirators manage to convince Donald Trump to make the speech and invite all those folks to Washington in the first place?

No crazier than some of the other Trump nonsense I’ve heard the MAGoos spout.

The 5G mind control COVID shot let “them” beam false memories to everyone.

It’s very interesting how all of this mind control stuff was only done once and then disappeared. Just like the millions of migrant caravans with guns and drugs just before elections.

It’s true! I heard a rumor the guy who started the whole thing was the FBI director’s boss at the time!

Dude, it was the director himself leading the charge. And then when all the duped “patriots” got inside he carefully snuck out and no one was the wiser. And half of them were Antifa, I almost forgot that part.

The right are so willfully ignorant that it hurts my brain.
