A pro-Trump protest that was scheduled to be held outside the FBI headquarters in Washington DC over the weekend was cancelled after it was promoted on far-right blogs as a suspected “trap”, The Daily Beast reported.

Following the FBI raid at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, supporters of the former president began reupping a call to arms across social media platforms and alt-right blogs to coordinate protests outside the offices of the federal agency responsible for domestic intelligence and security service.

A Sunday demonstration outside the headquarters in the nation’s capital was first promoted by the far-right Falun Gong-backed Epoch Times, who reported shortly after the 8 August raid at Trump’s Florida residence that a veteran named Adam Hardage had called for a demonstration on the following Sunday “to protest the out of control FBI and its actions against President Trump”.

The outlet later reported on Thursday, just a few days before the event was scheduled to happen, that it had been cancelled after conspiracies began speculating throughout pro-Trump media forums that the event was a “trap” and could perhaps be co-opted by the same agency the supporters were protesting.

2. The tempratures rising, Bannon is aroused, look out America...LOL

What we have to look out for is election officials being replaced, the voter suppression, the gerrymandering, the occasional violent christofascist who has gone over the edge.

The Pig is trying to create a widespread uprising, I don't think they are getting anywhere near that. Most of the christofascists like their gigs, their money, the toys in the garage, their vacations. They aren't going to endanger that.

12. They're fearsome keyboard warriors who occassional...

dress in camo with cargo pockets galore, grab their AR-15s and gather in nearby woods to cosplay at being soldiers.

Then they put their gear away and go home, their lust for action sated.

13. well yeah and nutjobs like have been around for decades...

Montana Freemen and their like. Real believers in fascist fearmongering, scapegoating and hero worship.

You just aren't special unless someone is out to get you. Even if you have to make it up.

3. I think this sort of thing could/should be weaponized against MAGAts, sowing division/paranoia.

Call every proposed protest/rally an FBI op/trap. Accuse the promoters of events of being FBI informants. When nobody or almost nobody shows up like this event, cite it as proof that the event was a trap -- which nobody/few fell for. Stoke distrust within the MAGAt movement, get them accusing each other of being plants/turncoats.

4. Was thinking the same, even to the point that I surmised t'was the FBI who put out the 'it's a trap'

warning in the first place.

They ain't stupid.

But the MAGAt's ... are.

And also easily manipulated, and prone to believing in conspiracy theories, esp. those involving the FBI.

Easy-peasy.

5. They should put out a promo for magas to sign up for alerts.

9. Totally agree

Use their paranoia against them over and over until they become despondent.
