Speculation:
The DS/treasonous US Gov know they can’t “win” fuckall… so trying to stoke a fight inside the U.S. is about all they have left to try and smokebomb out.
Anything that shows up in the Times or Post, is proof enough to this anon that it’s just more skullfucking crap that Government is trying to shove upon the public.
Might not be a perfect method, but it sure is more likely than not.
