On yesterday’s edition of “Trunews,” conservative radio host Rick Wiles had a just asking the question monologue about the Umpqua Community College shooting in Oregon.

Wiles, who regularly hosts Republican and Religious Right leaders onto his show and spoke with Family Research Council Executive Vice president Jerry Boykin later in the same program, latched onto the “crisis actor” conspiracy theory that has been roundly discredited to suggest that the Oregon mass shooting, along with those in Newtown, Connecticut, and Aurora, Colorado, were staged by government “death squads” in order to justify gun confiscation laws.

Several members of the ‘Trunews’ team and I were talking this morning in the office about the mysterious appearance of similar looking persons at the scenes of recent mass shootings. Could they be the same people? Could they be paid crisis actors and actresses? Is there a secret death squad at work in this country staging mass shootings in order to build public support for disarming the American people of their firearms? Are we living in the matrix of deception? Is it becoming increasingly difficult to discern what is real and what is fake? Are news events being manufactured for political purposes?

As the myth-busting website Snopes points out, conspiracy theorists have taken photos of brown-haired women grieving over news of a lost family member as proof that the massacres were some sort of government plot.

A popular meme that emerged following the Newtown shooting, Snopes reports, “was altered to include what was purportedly yet another appearance by the ‘same girl’ seen previously crying in photos from Aurora, Boston, and Sandy Hook. (Presumably, the high-level false flag planners didn’t have access to social media and remained unaware their schemes had been unraveled and revealed months earlier)…. All four women depicted were identified by name at the time they were photographed [and] none was transient to the tragedies with which they were associated or disappeared afterwards.”

Wiles went on to attack President Obama as a “Muslim jihadist” who was “clandestinely placed in the White House by foreign powers to dismantle the United States of America.”
