      Hexbear sees something they disagree with and cleverly evades thinking by blaming the CIA.

        Liberals are insecure about their casual connections to the intelligence community, and afraid of actual leftists noticing and getting scared off, so they pretend we think EVERYTHING’s controlled by the CIA so we’ll look crazy in comparison. Classic lazy hyperbole.

        • What were USA flags and Hallelujah chants doing in Hongkong riots?

        • How come this American journalist’s exposé was removed by CIA/YouTube, ending up in a reuploading of it in this manner? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxSBb4z_gSM

        • Why did Ted Cruz visit and cheer Hongkong rioters? Can Chinese elected statesmen do the same during American insurrections or protests against US government?
