nailed it -- it’s 5th Gen warfare. get in ppl’s heads and make them fearful of being in public places.

i’m all too familiar with how this consumed ppl in Orlando after Pulse shooting (which had ALL kinds of bizarre aspects, unlike how the official narrative was presented).

I know the city of Orlando. I knew someone who allegedly died that night, but the story of Pulse doesn’t add up. It stinks really, really bad. It’s something I will have to write about sometime. I am just wondering if there is a way for me to investigate it more closely.

boltzman booty on twitter has a thread about Omar Mateen’s dad; it’s a good representation of what i dug up at the time. also glenn greenwald covered the jury trial of the shooter’s ex and published some really interesting stuff.

i was as caught up in the hype as anyone at the time. actually sniped at someone in a forum when they pointed out the IC stuff, b/c i said, ‘that’s disrespectful to the LGBT community.’ i know now he was right and i was wrong...and i really regret being reactive instead of responsive (no matter how ‘reasonable it seemed at the time).

Culture war. Pitting conservative Christians against liberals by putting eccentric types in influential positions in Washington.

Yeah, I didn’t think much of it at the time. I just assumed my friend died tragically due to random gun violence. Not so much, though.
