Man live streams bomb threat to Capitol building

[Angilion]

He didn't ultimately have a bomb, but if he didn't make the threat at all like you are claiming, why are the media reporting it?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-58273778

If you read the article you link to, you'll find that it doesn't report that he threatened to detonate a bomb. The BBC would probably be reluctant to openly lie. Earlier BBC reports contained what he actually said, so if the BBC now falsely claimed that he'd threatened to detonate a bomb that lie could be proven by their own reporting.

I'm sure they'll milk this for all it's worth now that the media driven January 6th narrative has (like Russia collusion) blown up in their faces.

Exclusive: FBI finds scant evidence U.S. Capitol attack was coordinated - sources

"The FBI has found scant evidence that the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol was the result of an organized plot to overturn the presidential election result."

"The FBI at this point believes the violence was not centrally coordinated by far-right groups or prominent supporters of Donald Trump."

What work of fiction will they come up with next? and more importantly will the same people still fall for it?

I mean, if you're going to commit an insurrection I'm not sure why you'd leave your guns at home and carry placards but who cares about logic anymore?

I was applying your argument to yourself. That was the point. As I expected, you disagreed with your own position when it was applied to you. Just as the people you were applying it to would disagree with it. Because it's wrong.

Agreed, my assertion of possible British feelings of inferiority was ill founded, and possibly prompted by my impotent sense of outrage at the usual meme of the French being quick to surrender being constantly trotted out.

French involvement in the American revolution went way beyond a naval blockade of one town. If it wasn't for France, the American revolution probably wouldn't have happened at all. Not in the same way, certainly. Without massive support from France, the American revolutionary war wouldn't have been possible. There might have been a failed insurrection, but probably not. France supplied most of the gunpowder. A lot of other supplies. Troop training. Towards the end, troops. There were battles inside the revolting colonies in which a large part of the revolutionary side was made up of French soldiers. But even that was far from all because some key conflicts in the American war of independence happened nowhere near America didn't involve any Americans at all. They were solely a European thing. Mostly France vs Britain, but also Spain vs Britain and sometimes Spain+France vs Britain. For example, one important conflict in the American war of independence involved a combined Spanish and French naval force seizing a very large British supply convoy off the western coast of Europe. Or maybe off the western coast of Africa. I forget exactly where it happened, but it was a long way from America and there was no American involvement at all. There was also war between Britain and either France, Spain or both in many parts of the world outside of the revolting colonies and with no American involvement at all. There was even an attempted French invasion of Britain. France played a bigger role in the American war of independence than the American revolutionaries did, if you take a wider view of the conflict. France bankrupted itself with that war.

Thanks for the history lesson, and I’m not being sarcastic, I mean it.
I was a member of the U.S. library of information at the embassy in Grosvenor Square in my early teens, being fascinated by U.S. history, and thought that I was quite au fait with the causes and conduct of the Revolutionary War, but you’ve opened my eyes to more than I thought that I knew.
I knew of course that the French were heavily involved in the War, by aiding Washington’s Continental Army, and that they contributed a great deal to Britain’s ultimate defeat, culminating at Yorktown by blockading Cornwallis’s army with their navy in Chesapeake Bay.

If it's only a propane tank in a pick up then clear the area and tell him it's his move next.

it still goes with a huge bang.
you never put an deo can on a bonfire as a kid? or did you grow in an era where bonfires were banned? there used to be a time when every area would build a bonfire on communal grass

Deo cans are tiny and they explode with a massive bang

You are such a muppet conspiracy sheep, how do you function in life.

A USA library, even a proper one that doesn't just put the usual "glorious hero American Patriots acting completely alone defeated the whole of the largest empire in the world through sheer superhuman courage and wonderful glory in all things because they were FREEDOM incarnate" spin on things, will usually be lacking in information about things that happened more than a few miles away from the USA or (later on) more than a few miles from USA military forces outside the USA. Despite the USA being a de facto empire, internally it's very parochial.

I wish I could remember the name of that convoy incident. It's known as "the incident of <the day and month on which it occured>". Which has completely fallen out of my memory. It was very well executed by the Spanish overall commander of a joint Franco-Spanish (mostly Spanish) fleet. In military terms, it was a masterstroke. Good intelligence, good planning, good execution and perfect exploitation of a serious mistake made by British senior command. The convoy was protected against pirates. But only pirates. Not a major military fleet with dozen of warships. IIRC the naval guard for the British convoy was outnumbered about 25 to 1. The convoy was huge. Supplies for an army for years. But it was almost entirely cargo ships. The incident was very civilised for war - the British convoy was offered the chance to surrender with assurances of good treatment and the forces under Spanish command followed through on those assurances. The British POWs were very well treated and returned home as soon as was practical. As had been done by the British navy when they had captured Spanish sailors in an earlier conflict in the war. The French and Spanish navies stole everything in the British convoy, of course. Including the ships. Spoils of war. But they treated the people very well.

Although the main combatants in the war were France and Britain, Spain was also in a de facto state of war against Britain. Along with some opportunistic rebels in America, who took advantage of the war between Britain and France. And then conveniently forgot about some of the agreements they had with France when France was no longer in any position to do anything about it (having bankrupted itself with the war, which was a major factor in the French revolution that happened not long after). Then pretty much wrote France out of their history books.

Reuters and the FBI are part of this conspiracy that you know The Truth about! My goodness, how far does it go? Can we trust anyone other than you for The Truth?

That could be the action of August 9th 1780, in which a Spanish fleet led by Admiral Luis de Córdova y Córdova, aided by a squadron of French ships captured a convoy of British merchant ships off Cape St. Vincent, and brought them to Cádiz.

I can't tell whether your posts are parody, trolling or a True Believer who believes everyone who doesn't support what they make up is part of The Conspiracy.

Ah, thanks. Not being able to remember it was niggling at me and my search skills weren't up to the job.

I think it's the derangement part of his TDS sadly

The mental health and drug abuse issues that seem to pervade rural america should probably have been dealt with, but why bother when you can exploit their pain and direct it at your opponents without a hint of care for them?

Yes because its me linking all the conspiracies and making up lies about the insurrection. MMJ needs professional help, this is quite clear.

 

[Jean-F]

America is just too crazy for me.

Maybe I’ve been lucky, I’ve been going there since 1976, and the only time that I felt vaguely uneasy was when I got on an express subway train at Chambers St. station Manhattan in error.
I’d intended to take any train to 116th Street, nearest stop to my girlfriend’s apartment at 113th and Amsterdam, but I jumped on an uptown express train, it went straight through 116th Street and stopped at W 145th Street in Harlem.
I stuck out like a sore thumb being white up there, but no one even glanced at me.
I felt ashamed for being uneasy for no good reason, and when I got back to 116th Street was too embarrassed to tell my girlfriend about it

 

[Angilion]

Yes, it is. Most recently, you have claimed that Reuters and the FBI are in on this conspiracy you've made up.
