Why would "they" stage this? What is the purpose behind it? What agenda is advanced by this? Originally Posted by CuteOldGuyWhy would they stage it? Well because they can. There was a time not so long ago that there was a ban against the news media to use propaganda to further political agendas. In recent years that ban has been lifted. It's perfectly legal for the media to use propaganda. The use of propaganda enables to media to have full control over a story in terms of the initial story line, people involved and their lives before the incident. Even if an event is totally legit the use of propaganda enables the media to alter particulars of that event to meet a political agenda. This event in Virginia, has all the makings of a psyop. I know I said it was staged, and it could very well be, but even if it's not and the shooting is legit they're elements that are being utilized to further public opinion. The most noticeable is the firearm. We need to consider gun control. Secondly we have victimization. Black guy shoots white former coworkers because of racism at work. Third sign of a psyop is the victimized individual had a diary or manifesto which illustrates his disgruntlement. Think back a little bit on Elliot Rogers. His diary illustrated his dissent towards women. He felt victimized. Women didn't like him they treated him like shit. So he decided to go on a shooting spree. Dylan Roof same thing. His dissent was all about black people so he goes to a church and kills nine black people. Whether an event is legit or orchestrated the media has the ability and support to present to us a narrative that supports a political or social agenda. We are under the guise that the media is always right and they would never deceive us. Which of course isn't' true.
