Texas Church Shooter's Antifa Connection Instantly Discounted, Viewed As "Propaganda And Di

Shortly after the Sutherland Springs church massacre on Sunday, which claimed the lives of at least 26 people, Devin Patrick Kelley, the suspected gunman, was said to have connections to the infamous anarchist/communist domestic terrorist group Antifa.

Online researchers and independent journalists painted a somewhat vague picture of his possible affiliation with the group, posting screenshots from Kelley's now defunct social media accounts which showed himself alongside the Antifa flag (see picture above). Curiously enough, this "proof" was instantly discounted by mainstream news outlets such as Gizmodo, Heavy.com, Snopes, Newsweek and even RT (formerly known as Russia Today).

Often times, we've seen the mainstream media either ignore violent activities perpetrated by Antifa or even provide damage control by calling them "counter-protesters," since they usually show up to pro-American/freedom of speech events dressed in black, wearing face masks and carrying their own flags on fighting sticks, or ones that feature the classic communist hammer and sickle.

Antifa's latest shenanigans, which occurred on November 4th in cities throughout the country and orchestrated by RefuseFascism.org, was a huge flop. Some proclaimed it was simply going to be a peaceful demonstration that aimed to remove the "Trump/Pence Regime" and last until they were ousted from office; others suggested there would literally be a violent revolution, with "millions of super soldiers" taking to the streets and injuring or killing any who got in their way. Thankfully, the former prevailed and only a few hundred, if that, showed up nationwide.

Now back to the question at hand: Why is it that so many mainstream news outlets either discount the threat Antifa poses to civilized societies worldwide (yes, they've shown up in European countries like France and Germany) or actually put forth the effort to defend their motives and actions?

Some have speculated that radical groups like Antifa, BAMN (By Any Means Necessary) and even BLM (Black Lives Matter) receive funding from rogue billionaires, like George Soros, to kickoff a "divide & conquer" and modern-day "colour revolution" campaign right here in America. Well, if this is in fact true, it seems they are succeeding with the divide & conquer part as Americans today are more divided than ever regarding their racial, social and political views.

At this point, we all know popular mainstream news outlets don't only get their funding from advertisement revenue. Just like corporate lobbyists on Capitol Hill, the media have their own backers who slide them large amounts of cash to push a certain narrative.

Have you ever noticed a "big story" released by multiple news organizations at just about the same time, with nearly identical headlines? Well, if you haven't, we sure as heck have! This is definitely evident on social media sites like Twitter. Try an experiment: create a new account on Twitter, follow some popular mainstream news outlets (like CNN, MSNBC, Washington Post, HuffPost, NY Times, BBC, AP, Bloomberg, TIME, etc) and watch them roll out their propaganda like clockwork!

Right now you might be asking how all of this is relevant to Kelley's possible connection to Antifa? As previously mentioned, these same outlets were extremely quick to discount the connection as simply "fake news" or "propaganda" or "disinformation." Is this because they... support Antifa's goals of total anarchy and strife, even though this despicable group has officially been declared a domestic terrorist organization by the United States government? Hmm...
