We're seeing an example of the real life consequences of hateful conspiracy theories being peddled by the likes of Alex Jones and anonymous wingnuts on the web. Yesterday, Forrest Clark was charged with felony arson and felony threatening to terrorize in setting the Holy Fire in Orange County, California. Clark, who has a history of mental instability, was an avid consumer of all of the crackpot conspiracies on the far right, including QAnon's unhinged theories of the "deep state" and America's "savior," con man and sociopath Donald "Rump" Trump. Some 19,000 acres have already burned, as firefighters risk their lives to contain the blaze.
Tomorrow in Washington, DC another manifestation of the lunacy and evil of the far right will occur, with several hundred neo-Nazis, KKK and other white supremacists stage a rally across from the White (Supremacist) House. More about that later.
