I'd like this to stay in politics because it is politics. You'll note I'm not confirming one way or the other. Just noting that conspiracy theories can affect politics.
Crisis actors, deep state, false flag: the rise of conspiracy theory code words
I'd say that if you watch some type of media in question, a sure sign of authenticity would have to render down at the end of the day to paying very close attention to body language in the context of the horrific event + the known stages of the grief cycle. Bearing in mind that even while in the "shock/denial" phase of grief, a hallow and desperate look can still be seen in the eyes and the lines around the mouth.
If you freeze frame this boy and his friends/fellow survivors' pictures in the beginning, does it look like a group of kids who just survived a mass shooting at their school? Many years ago there was a mass shooting at a school in the city I grew up in. It was a huge school. They interviewed some of the students just after and they were visibly shaken, the girls crying in hysterics, tear streaked faces, clear expressions of fear and grief. The boys were also wiping tears away, faces torn, fist shoved deep in their pockets, hollow grief around their eyes.
I'm not quite seeing that here vv But maybe that's just a result of society becoming numb to this?
I get it. If a party can be made to look bad (guns = republicans), horrifically bad, then the scare-votes from the middle go to the opposing party. I understand the theory. But if it turns out that something was staged, it would play against the staging party, also horrifically.
On the one hand, using a locale to stage a fake crises to fuel certain political sentiments (usually against a party), seems a bit out there. Just the sheer logistics of securing a location, gagging potential outlying witnesses, etc. On the other hand, a friend pointed out to me how calm, unruffled and rehearsed certain interviewees are in weeks following a brutal and devastating event such as the recent school shooting. He said that sometimes they even seem to forget they're supposed to look devastated and then do their best "devastated" face for the camera...then forget...then remember...then forget. I watched one of these interviews and I must say, he has a point.
But still, all that effort to stage a crisis? I don't know. But if you control the media...? I remember a man who lost a son years and years ago. To this day the devastation of that loss still shows in lines all around his face. An animated man with a bounce in his step has turned to a shuffling stone-faced monument to grief. Is this body language missing?
