After the post By Mr.X of the Politico Article that's when Twitter exploded with organizers telling people to stay home. Most of the BLM people were to busy organizing to know about the Politico article.

The "hidden hand" posted a Politico article. Well, that's super sneaky isn't it?

Could just be he was going to post it anyway to the group as a news story too the Group, but he saw Trump's Tweet, realized what Trump might be trying to do, and decided to try and stop Trump from being Successful.
A, Trump vs BLM, Trump wins.
B, TRUMP VS USA, Trump Loses.
I would say Mr.X just didn't want option A, he preferred option B.
Mr.X posted News articles before, too the group, he said he reads a lot of articles because he has Trouble Sleeping because of pain.
Only the January 6th committee would know more, because they would have the evidence, don't know what they will. Say about it.
I still think he is Sean Hannity.

Hannity wouldn't want BLM and their supporters to procreate, so he's not the one telling them to make babies.

Mr. X must have imagined one of two things:
1) The presence of Antifa and BLM supporters would get Trump supporters involved in a fight and thus distract from their attempt to invade the Capitol. Large groups of protesters against the MAGA crowd when it was still only a rally would also have meant the presence of more policemen in riot gear to keep the two groups apart.
In that case, Mr. X was trying to help the insurrection attempt by making Antifa and BLM supporters as well as a large number of police that could have been redeployed to defend the Capitol building stay away.
or
2) Mr. X had inside knowledge that the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and other militant fascists would be particularly well organized that day, and he didn't want BLM and Antifa supporters to get hurt in a confrontation with them.
In that case, he would have been trying to help BLM and Antifa.

Some kind of double agent? Somebody in the ranks of the militant fascists who is there as an informer of the FBI but sympathizes with Antifa and BLM? Like the one who recently informed the police about the Patriot Front.

Or maybe everybody and their ******* brother figured out that Trump was going to try to do something to disrupt the count and people had the good sense to stay home. They seem to also have told other people with less sense to stay home. You're assuming a level of control over BLM and ANTIFA that is simply not in evidence.

Someone has to pitch the ball to start the Ball Game, I know there were Multiple Groups trying to Organize counter protests that day because they thought they would get good Press coverage. Once it was pointed out that was a mistake, no one showed up, many people think Emotionally not logically sometimes they need a marker a ribbon to find the right path.

I also think many people put up ribbons on the safe path that day, and help stop a second Civil War or a Trump Monarchy, I think they all deserve equal credit.

Oh, but Mr. X must have been a communications major! Look at how he wins hearts and minds. He's like, "Hey, Black people, I know that when you aren't rioting, you are at home getting drunk and breeding like rabbits, so do that!", because that's not racially charged or anything. And if you've ever met any ladies of antifa, you know that they are just looking for a man to tell them to stay home and make babies. Totally on point. /s

The young people in the Group were talking about those things already, that's a Young people's thing something they liked to do, are we so old that we forget that? Also the group was more white than Black.
Mr.X just urged them to do what they already said they wanted to do in the first place, it was a joke on the Great Replacement Theory.

Given that it seemed to be effective or at least contributed and did not detract, my guess is that Mr. X knew his audience and knew they would get the joke.

Yes it was sarcasm about what a Proud Boy said in a Live Stream, "All they have to do to Replace us, is sit home Drink Beer and make Babies, on their Government Checks." The Proud Boy was talking about the Covid relief.

Dude, seriously, you're worried about the wrong thing. There is no hidden hand and there aren't people secretly controlling everything. What you should be worried about is that there's no one in charge.

What I am worried about is an Idiot had control of Tens of Thousands of F3 Thermonuclear warheads, and that fools want to Put him back in control again.

One, there's no such thing as an "F3 Thermonuclear warhead". The US nomenclature uses the "W" prefix, and the current version numbers are in the high double-digits.

Two, there are only about 4,000 US warheads deployed or in storage, plus a few thousand more retired warheads that are slated for dismantling.

Three, Trump didn't actually get any closer to pressing the button than any of his predecessors.

Fussion?

Turkey does not have nuclear weapons.

The US president cannot command the use of nukes by other NATO members, not even the NATO members that actually have nukes.

Why? He's been responsible with it in the past.

But I guess if you think that Turkey has nukes, and that the US president can command the launch of tens of thousands of nukes...

AFAIK, most of the nuclear weapons in the present US inventory use fission-fusion-fission, at least if they are set for full yield.

You said the US president had control over tens of thousands of nukes. He doesn't. There aren't even tens of thousands of nukes currently in the world. Let alone under the control of the US president.

And Trump was no more likely to use them than any other president.

13.000 is in the tens of thousands range.

Are you Trying to get us too tell you how to build Thermonuclear devices, you know spreading that information is Illegal right?

Thirteen isn't even a plural amount of tens. You need at least two tens to be in the "tens" range. Thirteen thousand is in the thousands range.

You said the US president had control of tens of thousands of nukes. There aren't even tens of thousands of nukes in the entire world. The US president only controls about four thousand nukes - nowhere near the tens of thousands range.

You said Turkey has nukes. Turkey does not have nukes.

Wikipedia tells me all I care to know about the design and manufacture of nuclear weapons.

There's plenty of good, fact-based reasons to not want Trump (back) in office. Why go so far out of your way to pull an obviously wrong reason from your ass? Tens of thousands of nukes? Really? Don't you have enough real things to be worried about, without inventing obviously unreal things as well?

First I don't think having an Idiot Conspiracy Theorist in charge of Nuclear weapons no matter what the Number is.
Secondly your assuming I invented a false narrative instead of making an honest mistake the article I read said tens of thousands of Megatons of Nuclear weapons were in the United States arsenal, the article also I believe got that wrong, it should have been Kilotons not Megatons.
People make unintentional mistakes, as you did saying F3 Thermonuclear devices didn't exist. F 3 is a term Physicist use to describe high yield devices. The Information I have on Nuclear weapons didn't come from Wikipedia.

It would be nice if you got the number close to right, though.

You've been talking about numbers of weapons, not tonnage.

Quote:

Agreed. My mistake. I thought you were referring (incorrectly) to the nomenclature of weapon versions in the US arsenal.

Quote:

Clearly. If it had, it would be more correct than what you've been saying so far.

Do you honestly think I believe the New York Times secret deal story, when I saw the exact Opposite?

I tried to find other protests that BLM showed up to counter-protest and I couldn't easily find any. A lot of counter-protesters show up at BLM protests but does BLM ever stage counter-protests?

Maybe they didn't show up because they never show up specifically to counter-protest.


ETA: Here's one where all of 2 BLM supporters showed up at a Drumpf rally:

Quote:
Footage from inside the Xtreme Manufacturing facility in Henderson, Nevada, appeared to show at least two demonstrators holding up a flag reading "Black Lives Matter" while raising their fists.

Antifa though does show up to counter protest, the Proud Boys but none showed up in Washington.

Also BLM tends too target cities where Shootings happen, not just random political Rallies, or the Counter protest police Force events, not political Rallies. The fires were stoked on the 6th though as many BLM antifa supporters thought they couldn't trust the Republicans wouldn't steal the Election for Trump.

Easier to think there is an evil group in control, and, if we can elimnate them, everything will be just great, then face the unpleasent reality there is no easy quick fix for our problems.
