We can sit here and yuck it up over how full of crap this guy and the mainstream media actually is until our heads turn blue.. The problem is, people actually WATCH that garbage and nod their heads in agreement over every single thing he says and basically everything that comes from that tube that their faces are always planted in.

Don't underestimate the power of mass manipulation using direct psychological tools. Remember we didn't get this way over night. Its constant conditioning over the course of years, even decades.
However, I'm curious to see what will happen when the American people will be considered the new Al Qaeda. This will most likely be the next step. Remember the seed of this action was John Walker Lynn, the supposed "American Taliban".
The possible passage of new restrictions on firearms and the return of
military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks.
Prominent antigovernment conspiracy theorists have incorporated aspects of an impending economic collapse to intensify fear and paranoia among like-minded individuals and to attract recruits during times of economic uncertainty. Conspiracy theories involving declarations of martial law, impending civil strife or racial conflict, suspension of the U.S. Constitution, and the creation of citizen detention camps often incorporate aspects of a failed economy. Antigovernment conspiracy theories and “end times” prophecies could motivate extremist individuals and groups to stockpile food, ammunition, and weapons. These teachings also have been linked with the radicalization of domestic extremist individuals and groups in the past...
Fear of Communist regimes and related conspiracy theories
characterizing the U.S. Government’s role as either complicit in a foreign
invasion or acquiescing as part of a “One World Government” plan inspired
extremist members of the militia movement to target government and military facilities in past years.
The willingness of a small percentage of military personnel to join extremist groups during the 1990s because they were disgruntled, disillusioned, or suffering from the psychological effects of war is being replicated today.

I will wait for the government and media to launch a campaign that will encourage people to turn their friends and family in for being conspiracy theorists because they are a potential threat to society. Then we might see ads from big pharma touting drugs that may help people with conspiracy theories.

They're just trying you scare you into line. Anyone who is critical of the govt is a dangerous terrorist. If you have been speaking your mind you will now feel intimidated and shut up. They haven't started landing black helicopters on people's lawns yet but it could happen. The problem is that they are so full of themselves that they have left reality far far behind them which means anything could happen. Our government is so far out there that anything is possible.

So let's listen to what this suicide warrior has to say and judge for ourselves if he is a nut.

This very likely could be an MK Ultra Manchurian Candidate.

... in no small part due to materialism, superficiality of modern existence, a lack of cohesive communities caring personally for each other and dysfunctional families divorcing and collapsing.
Hate crimes (also known as bias-motivated crimes) occur when a perpetrator targets a victim because of his or her perceived membership in a certain social group, usually defined by racial group, religion, sexual orientation, disability, class, ethnicity, nationality, age, gender, gender identity, or political affiliation.
"Hate crime" generally refers to criminal acts which are seen to have been motivated by hatred of one or more of the listed conditions. Incidents may involve physical assault, damage to property, bullying, harassment, verbal abuse or insults, or offensive graffiti or letters (hate mail).
