@Bangoob There are many ways to influence a population by means of suggestion. The suggestion of competence, insight, or authority that feeds the tendency of traumatized people to suspect conspiracies, and to respond with moral indignation inspiring and justifying their righteous retaliation is one of the best methods of all.

To the degree someone may have had signal intelligence inside the white house – we might claim that was indeed a possibility. To the degree that it was used to promote inspiration agitation, hope, and cope was a possibility.

To the degree that there was any organization of common interest within the administration or the state to support it appears to have been unlikely. Had such an organization of common interest existed, the failure of the capitol raid to deliver demands that would justify their action leaves the responsibility on the activists.

So my assessment at present is the most skeptical: that it was an agitprop joke or test, that turned into a movement, because it got traction for the reasons I stated above.

I didn’t follow it although I did have people actively keeping me informed. From that information, I didn’t see anything that wasn’t constructivist (causal relations were implied not demonstrated). The only evidence I’ve seen is that one individual may have had access to spaces and communications. There are plenty of low-level people in that information stream. I don’t want to dismiss the phenomenon or try to refute it because the momentum is valuable. I don’t want to claim it’s supportable because there is no information that makes it supportable.

If it turns out to be something more I would be pleasantly surprised. 😉
