Red Pill Rally In DC Unites Far-Right Conspiracy Theories and Apocalyptic Religion

A group of just over 100 right-wing conspiracy theorists met in front of the White House on Saturday, marched down Pennsylvania Avenue past the Justice Department and FBI buildings, and gathered on Freedom Plaza for an open mic rally.

Several marchers brandished copies of Infowars Washington bureau chief Jerome Corsi’s latest book, “Killing the Deep State.” Corsi promotes the conspiracy theory known as The Storm, which is based on anonymous postings by someone known as Q, supposedly from deep within the government. “I see Q people,” read a sign at the march. Others yelled at tourists and pedestrians, “Who is QAnon? Look it up!”

Adherents believe that the dispatches from Q—or QAnon—are signaling that the Trump administration is getting ready to blow the lid off major conspiracy theories, including one that posits that leading Democratic political operatives are engaged in child sex trafficking.

In January, Corsi warned that eventually videos would come out showing “global elites” making children plead for their lives before “butchering” them. The related “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory nearly turned fatal when one adherent showed up at a restaurant that conspiracy theorists claimed was the center of a sex-trafficking ring and started shooting. At the Saturday march, one participant’s sign read, “Arrest Luciferian Pedophiles NOW.”

<snip>

“Red pills, white hats,” chanted marchers at one point. “Red pills” is a reference to the movie “The Matrix,” in which a taking of a red pill meant being willing to open your eyes to the horrible truth about the hidden machinations that underlie visible reality.

Have these morons even seen The Matrix? Let alone even begin to understand what it's really about?

They are the reason we can't have nice things.

But you know, looking at that picture, I sort of think that is how the "revolution" will go when trump is brought to trial and sentenced for his crimes and then sent to prison...unless of course he finds an ending pill and takes the cowardly way out.

You'd think it'd be something out of the Walking Dead. But instead it's the Walking MAGAt's.

If any of these people have ever eaten or thought about pizza ever in their lives, that proves that all of them are child butchering pedophiles of the global elite. There is no other explanation since kids like pizza.



Of course our law enforcement doesn't monitor RW hate groups that shoot up restaurants. They're not terrorists.

Liz Crokin: Elite Satanic Pedophiles ‘Are Trying To Kill Us Off’
By Kyle Mantyla | April 10, 2018 12:17 pm

Fringe right-wing conspiracy theorist Liz Crokin appeared on the “Disputed Lands” program last night, where she asserted that the cabal of elite satanic pedophiles who rule the world are trying to kill everyone through vaccines and chemtrails so that they can sexually abuse and eat children without anyone “pestering” them.

Are you kidding me? A bureau chief to field reports of made up crap and then disseminate them as absolute truth. How many people does that take? A chimp trained to hit "retweet"?

the hundred or so people at this rally represent thousands of potential stochastic terrorists and possibly between 1/3 and 2/5 of our nation. what happens when "The Deep State" succeeds in removing Trump from office and indicting his sorry ass?
