If before the deep state can stage a realistic casualty event using crisis actors, presently the white hats also has the means and capability to do the same. It's legal because Obama expanded the Smith-Mundt Act to include using propaganda targeting US citizens in US soil, not just non-Americans outside the USA. Just a thought.
What if the victim was a white hat crisis actress and it was all staged for a good reason that at the moment we still have no knowledge of. Just a speculation. I like happy endings.
