Capitol Protests, A False Flag?

1/12/2021

 
Picture
When it comes to armed protests or large patriotic gathering around Inauguration Day, be smart and use your head. Don't be part of the herd pushed over the cliff in a buffalo jump or identified by hostile media and law enforcement as "right wing terrorists/extremists." 

Many people have been rightly suspicious of plans going around online to protest this coming weekend. The Truth About Guns has an excellent article about these events potentially being false flags.
In the comments, uncommon_sense said:
Some entity with some serious backing/resources created that flyer.
First of all, whoever created that flyer has professional graphic design skills and knows how to use graphic design software. Notice that the designer only uses three bold colors and is nevertheless able to achieve maximum effect (with only a tiny bit of text in a fourth color — white). Notice also that the designer employed text at an angle — something that an amateur would not even think of doing, much less know how to do. Then we have the fact that the designer did an outstanding job choosing text sizes and balancing their choices of text sizing with the other elements (including open space) of the entire flyer. Finally, notice that the designer constrained the flyer to about five major information elements — an important criteria making it easy/effective for a human mind to absorb the content. Again, that is something that only a professional graphic designer would typically understand and implement.
I am also going to highlight the psychological considerations of that flyer. First of all, notice the messaging which is clearly designed to elicit a “patriotic” response — albeit tilted heavily toward violent armed response — in people with conservative leanings. Second of all, notice the color choices: red is the dominant color which subconsciously elicits anger. And yellow is the secondary color which also subconsciously elicits anger — although to a lesser extent. And I would argue that the combination of the red and yellow subconsciously elicits the concept of fire (destruction) and anger. Finally, notice that the red is not primary red (e.g. classic “fire engine” red) but red-orange — again combining with the yellow to elicit anger and fire.
Finally, I would note two additional considerations:
1) Typical flyers of a patriotic nature use classic “red, white, and blue” color schemes which are visually bold and exciting and yet non-inflammatory at the same time. This flyer obviously rejected the classic red, white, and blue color scheme for a red and yellow color scheme. That is significant and tells us something about the entity who created it.
2) Notice that the small white text of the flyer says, “… our founding fathers fought …”. Did you notice that the text does not capitalize “founding fathers”? Almost everyone who refers to our “Founding Fathers” capitalizes them (as I did here). While this could be a simple oversight on the part of the graphic designer, I am having a hard time shaking the thought that there is something significant in the fact that flyer failed to capitalize them. Could it be that a foreign country (China, Russia, Iran, North Korea) created that flyer and did not realize that they should capitalize “Founding Fathers”? Or did a domestic enemy who hates our country’s founding (in the vein of the 1619 Project) create that flyer and refuse to give the proper respect that our Founding Fathers deserve?
Someone who is fiendishly clever, manipulative, and evil (in my opinion) created that flyer — and almost had to have designed it well in advance of this week.
In Nevada in particular, right now is not the time to give the Legislature any ideas.
