Conspircies abound?
So just to put this out there before I get into this, I am not a conspiracy theorist or paranoid but I do understand politics and I can see patterns in behaviour. And this “pattern” that I see is very worrying.
There was another stabbing in Austria yesterday by a “Syrian asylum seeker”, that killed a teenager and left 5 injured. Austria is definitely leaning right. Their populist “Freedom” party topped the polls in their last election in September but has so far failed to create a governing coalition. They are very much like the MAGA crowd believe the same things and are very friendly to Russia, and extremely anti immigrant. This may and probably will cause Austria to hold new elections since none of the other parties are willing to work with the ÖVP.
The police have decided that the attack “had IS connections”.
3 days ago there was a car attack in Munich by an “Afghan asylum seeker” where at least 30 people were injured when he drove a Mini Cooper in to a crowd. Security there says counter terrorism officers where taking over the case but there was no “previous extremist background. Germany is headed into a hard fought election with the AfD being the extremist right wing party that has been gaining ground. The AfD also have close ties to Russia and are also extremely anti immigrant.
While this could be a coincidence, it’s a very odd one at a VERY odd time.
So when I add in Russian meddling along with all the dirty tricks the Right have been playing everywhere lately and on flagrant display in the USA, and the “attempted assassinations” on Trump during YOUR last election run, I see a large global conspiracy. A dark one run by right wing extremists.
How likely is it that in countries facing an election with one party who are virulently anti-immigrant, who constantly campaigne on how “dangerous” they are and who whip up massive amounts of hatred and scapegoating against these people yet haven’t gained enough support to win a majority, they might find a likely person, promise them anything they want and convince them to do these types of attacks?
Even if that person dies, the promise would have been for their families or other loved ones. You know the same fantasies the US told Afghan helpers and Kurd helpers….”do this for us and we’ll make sure your family is safe and granted citizenship”. How easy is it to bribe someone who may be desperate and depressed?
In the majority of these cases once security forces find information of any sort that leads them to the conclusion that this was all inspired by IS then they look no further, and how easy is it these days to hack in to anyone’s on line accounts and plant bits and pieces here and there?
I have no proof of this theory, but considering all the other dirty tricks the right have pulled over the last 10 years, along with the resurgence of extremism, and this happening during very consequential elections in important countries, I believe this IS what is happening. What better way to terrify an uncommitted voter into believing that immigrants are dangerous then having one suddenly attempt to kill your friends and neighbours just before voting day?
