Re: H. Res. 1154
This is an update of H. Res. 1094 presented by Malinowski exactly one month earlier, but with only Riggleman joining.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-resolution/1094
Major differences
The new version:
-
Has more representatives co-sponsoring it. (Possibly we should look into each of them: Mr. Riggleman, Mr. Gottheimer, Mr. Kinzinger, Mrs. Luria, and Mr. Fitzpatrick.)
-
Changed out the "conspiracy theory" of JFK assassination with 9/11 "conspiracy theory" accusation.
-
Added this: Whereas our Nation’s polarization is further accentuated by others, from the far left to the far right, promoting extreme ideologies and antigovernment conspiracy theories, hijacking legitimate peaceful protests, and encouraging followers to damage, deface, or vandalize local, State, and Federal Government properties and to attack law enforcement:
-
Added this: (2) condemns all other groups and ideologies, from the far left to the far right, that contribute to the spread of unfounded conspiracy theories and that encourage Americans to destroy public and private property and attack law enforcement officers;
-
Added this: (4) encourages the intelligence community to uncover any foreign support, assistance, or online amplification QAnon receives, as well as any QAnon affiliations, coordination, and contacts with foreign extremist organizations or groups espousing violence;
My thought is that they're trying to paint us as violent and to lay all the blame for what Antifa and BLM are doing on us. Each change (except the 9/11 one) is to ramp up the claim or at least the implication that we're responsible for the violence occurring right now in cities.
Are they setting it up so they can blame us for the after-the-election violence they're planning?
