ALL? Nothing like throwing the baby out with the bathwater mentality.

Are you saying that my Muslim friends, some of whom were born here should be deported? Deported to where?
 
Whats taking the media so long to bash Trump for not condemning radical islam for this?

Uh, no. They need to be charged with murder. Deportation for shoplifting? Ok. For murder? Hell no.
 

I read the link you put up here. My biggest problem with the lines of reasoning they offer is that if your bag of tricks is big enough you can manipulate the facts to fit any number of theories. Let's say tomorrow my neighbor keeps me up all night on a meth fueled Neil Pert inspired 10 hour drum bonanza and I run him over with my car. Some clever fellow could get a hold of my browser history, see that I just read that "Barcelona false flag" article, then use that (plus the fact that my street address is 777, which according to your article would be a huge deal) to make some conclusion about my intentions.

Thanks for the input, but hypotheticals such as you offer about your neighbor are not always persuasive.

Like it or not, understand it or not, the false flag concept is an ancient military strategy and tactic. Read up about Operation Northwoods and you will see what I mean.

Fake News and False Flags are often one in the same.

Oh, I wasn't asserting that the article is wrong, or that the conclusions they were working towards are necessarily wrong. I'm just saying that extreme caution needs to be used because, like I said, you can use totally inconsequential coincidental information and make it seem like proof leading towards a desired end. Could this article be absolutely right? Sure, I really don't know for certain either way.

What if the savage is an American in Charlottesville?

That reminds me of a meme that was circulating around Facebook, where several native Americans were giving the middle finger to mount Rushmore. Some more excitable friends of mine immediately said things like "deport their asses" and "never an ICE agent around when you need it" to which I had to ask "where, exactly, would one deport a native American to?".

And neither do I, but as time goes on, one is able to discern patterns of behavior that are consistent.

I read as many different articles as I can, from all perspectives, and then make up my own mind.

I respect that. It's easy and comfortable to read stuff that will just tell you what you already think, and I really wish more people would expand out of that comfort zone a little more freely.

Now as far as that article you posted, a thought I had about it (and again, I'm not saying this is what happened, but just a thought). Most people would read that and immediately dismiss it as absurd. Now, for the sake of argument let's say the article hit the nail on the head and that is exactly what went down. Wouldn't the people behind it want anyone reading that article to immediately dismiss it?
