This Ray Epps saga continues to confuse me.

Thanks, mcfarm!

You're confused on this because you believe the lies that Fox tells you as they intentionally steal their viewers intelligence by making up things that viewers want to hear in order to maximize station profits and ratings.

Outside of Fox and the far right, the authentic facts and truth on Ray Epps has been clear from the beginning.

If you want to be UN confused, stop letting the Fox charlatans steal your intelligence.

Ray Epps, a target of Jan. 6 conspiracy theories, gets a year of probation for his Capitol riot role

I realize that whatever I type in this thread about Epps will have ZERO impact on your opinion (or others that follow Fox) just like the many dozen of previous posts but the point is not to convince you of truths that you are unable to comprehend thru a brainwash..........it's to analyze the process that's causing the captured brains.

Same exact thing is happening with Fox completely censoring/blacking out Israels horrendous atrocities in Gaza.

Same thing is happening with Ukraine.

Same thing is happening with the Fake Climate Crisis(during the current, scientific climate optimum for most life, where cold still kills 10 times more people than heat on this greening planet).

People go to places that tell them what they want to hear and never fact check anything that they want to believe……including conspiracy theories, disinformation, false narratives and incredibly  absurd lies.

They go to places that interpret the world by applying their ideologies and spin to every topic. Those places know dang well who is watching and it gives the free reign to manufacture fake realities with impunity.

If they were in a court of law or other place holding them accountable to the truth, their reporting of news would be completely different.

instead, these charismatic charlatans create convincing sounding fake news that always lines up with their political agenda.

pretty odd that Fox will have you believe that their side and positions are always 100% right.

It would be like having a favorite sports team that wins every game by a blow out, with a 500 wins and 0 losses record.

Who wouldn’t want to have a team like that?

Fox News Pays $787.5M in Largest Ever Defamation Settlement with Dominion Voting Systems

https://www.foxdominionnews.com/post/fox-news-pays-787-5m-in-largest-ever-defamation-settlement-with-dominion-voting-systems?gclid=CjwKCAjwsKqoBhBPEiwALrrqiFFrcmYlSGxM0fBu0gbL19loPtLK0QLE_D2fII8xotmX70hA08-vlhoCxMIQAvD_BwE

           Please note bamboozle item #12 below:

                 THE FALL OF MINNEAPOLIS            

                            By metmike - Dec. 23, 2023, 12:28 a.m.            

          I have proved these things with all the rock solid evidence over and over here but people that don't want to believe..........just go to their sources that grant their wishes of believing in a fake world that lines up with all their ideologies.....  by telling them manufactured versions of stories which leave out inconvenient facts that they don't want to be true and replace them with other false narratives/facts that have been proven to be blatant lies, over and over.

That's why people go to these charlatans. The charlatans know it and by design, they exploit people's desire to believe certain things by stating those things. Many of them actually believe their own manure because they too want it to be true. Repeating convincing sounding lies will often beat the truth if enough people do it and enough people believe them.

1. George Floyd died from a fentanyl overdose not the reality of the execution that we watched on tape for 9+ minutes and every authentic medial authority testified to-R

2. The Ds stole the 2020 election using a yet to be discovered, magical mystery scheme-R

3. Trump was exercising his First Amendment rights, not the reality of trying to overturn the most secure presidential election in history with diabolical schemes-R

4. The fake climate crisis is killing the planet, NOT the reality of the planet greening up from the beneficial increase of CO2 and experiencing the best weather/climate for MOST life in 1,000 years..........the last time that it was this warm during the Medieval WARM Period-D

5.  The COVID vaccine kills more people than the virus-R

6.  Trump colluded with Russia and that's how he beat Hillary Clinton in 2016-D

7. Biden did nothing wrong and the Rs are just being political-D

8. Hunter just had a drug problem which caused him to make a few bad choices-D

9. Biden isn't too old or suffering major cognitive decline. He's always made gaffes-D

10. Israel is just defending itself and trying to minimize suffering for innocent people NOT using 20,000 lb dumb bombs on targets that include housing units, churches and historical sites. Starving 2+ million, 99% who are not Hamas, most that are homeless. Depriving them of fresh water, fuel/power and medical supplies/treatment. Killing 20,000+, injuring 50,000+ the majority being children and women. This is not really Genocide or dehumanizing by ethnically superior Israel-R

11 a.  Putin will invade Europe and NATO countries if we don't stop him in Ukraine. Putin didn't really just want Ukraine to agree to stay out of NATO and we would have avoided the war completely.-D+R

11 b. We are supporting Ukraine and Ukrainians. NOT using them to fight our war, NOT getting over 500,000 dehumanized people killed(from both sides), 1 trillion in damages, widespread poverty, millions leaving the country, half their army dead or permanently disabled For the Biden/NATO agenda. Ukraine didn't really lose the war months ago-D+R

11 c. Zelensky is a hero NOT a betrayer of  his people and election promise to negotiate peace with Russia and becoming a Biden/NATO PUPPET to get fame and glory while they use him and his country to have THEIR war to weaken Russia because they hate Putins guts D+R

12. My favorite lack of common sense. The insurrection was caused by the FBI in order to frame President Trump. Ray Epps was their leader and he incited thousands of people to riot, not president trump-R

13. Trump called 20,000 national guard troops to control the crowd but Nancy Pelosi blocked them from coming-R

14. There’s no immigration crisis on the southern border-D

15. The police are systemically racist. The US is systemically racist-D

These are not exceptions  but instead, identify the topics and dynamics which define the brainwashing by gatekeepers in 2023, using advanced technology of communications  to exploit people's cognitive bias, telling them what they want to hear/read and telling them how/what to think using propaganda, DISinformation and false narratives.

I counted 7 Rs and  7 Ds, along with the only one they united on...........the propaganda on the Ukraine war, only because BOTH SIDES are benefiting from  the millions in legal bribing lobby money gushing into their political accounts from the military-industrial complex and the sensationalizing, dishonest, yellow journalism,  ratings for profits driven media is in cahoots on, like they are on much of the above topics. Without the media being mouthpieces delivering the propaganda on topics like the Ukraine war for both sides and the fake climate crisis of the left, the brainwashing would be impossible.

On the far right, Fox and similar sources steal the intelligence of their viewers ….with charismatic charlatans, granting the wishes of viewers during every show by telling people what they want to hear   In a world where their party is infallible and the other party is doo Doo, to obtain blockbuster ratings.

there are several holes in your theory. Maybe the largest is Epps was the founder and leader of the insurrection. I have never seen stated anywhere, by anyone, at anytime. Certainly not be me. Yes Epps for sure was there. He sure was yelling we must  go into the capital both on the 5th and 6th. He for sure told the younger "insurrection to tear down those gate. All plainly on video. Now had the FBI and DOJ has come out and admitted this and other facts instead of launching into a massive cover up, which when you think about  it, is sort the same plan they used to try throw  16 and 20 elections. Yes, in other words many, maybe most of the corruption these last years since Obama''s election have all been seeded by big government corruption and cover up.

"there are several holes in your theory"

thanks, mcfarm,

There is no "theory" about the stone cold, rock solid facts and evidence  that I stated.

Again, you come here to have what you think is a winnable debate with your conspiracy theory and keep arguing completely absurd nonsense. 

My position is mainly to analyze what's driving you to keep acting/thinking this way.(while often copying all the evidence that proved you wrong for people that weren't here the first 20 times that I did it with this same conversation).

Again, whatever is stated here will never be retained because you will go to Fox or other sources that tell you what you want to believe/hear as they grant your wishes every weekday night by telling you about the world that lines up exactly with what your ideology is.

Everything that you and Fox believe is always right, everything that differs is always wrong and often evil. 

It would be like going to the station that shows you the Colts going undefeated and winning every game 50-0.

Or the Hoosiers blowing out every opponent by 40 points every time you watch the game.

Only applied to politics, which don't have to conform to the real world. They just manufacture their own realities to grant wishes for millions of people that can pretend and actually believe in them.

And while they steal your intelligence and use you, they get wealthy from the block buster ratings their charlatans create by telling viewers what they want to hear.

30 Priceless Quotes from the Great Thomas Sowell

“Some things are believed because they are demonstrably true. But many other things are believed simply because they have been asserted repeatedly—and repetition has been accepted as a substitute for evidence.”
