FBI and sheriffs warn that right-wing conspiracy theorists are spreading lies that Antifa started Oregon fires

WE ALREADY CAUGHT THEM, SO QUIT LYING

WE ALREADY CAUGHT THEM, SO QUIT LYING

What do you maintain is a lie?

Your thread title nit wit. The evidence has already been gathered and arrest being made of the antifa anarchist performing arson in the forest. They were doing it many ways even by setting off bundles of fireworks.
But they arent the only guilty party involved. DEW arte being used an its well documented now.
You must be with the same FBI.

No, anti-fascists have not been arrested in connection with wildfires ravaging Oregon, and public officials are asking people to stop spreading the various false rumors claiming this to be the case.

Some mainstream conservative pundits and a major police trade publication, as well as conspiracy theorists aligned with QAnon, have all promoted the false narrative about the historically destructive and deadly wildfires.

While investigators are looking into arson as the possible cause of at least one fire, authorities say there is no evidence to suggest the arson is politically motivated. Utility providers have said some fires may have been started by downed power lines during historic winds and heat. Red flag wildfire warnings have been in effect for the better part of a week.

People pushing the conspiracy theories have largely pointed to the Almeda fire, which Ashland Police Chief Tighe O’Meara confirmed has spurred a criminal investigation. O’Meara said rumors claiming anti-fascists were involved are “100% false information.”

“Rumors spread just like wildfire and now our dispatchers and professional staff are being overrun with requests for information and inquiries on an UNTRUE rumor that Antifa members have been arrested for setting fires in Douglas County, Oregon,” the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office posted to Facebook Thursday morning. “THIS IS NOT TRUE!”

Law Enforcement Today, which says it is “America’s largest law enforcement owned and operated media outlet,” reported Thursday unnamed sources have told them the wildfires may be a “coordinated and planned” attack.

FBI spokesperson Beth Anne Steele refuted the claims when asked by The Oregonian/OregonLive.

“There is no indication that the fires are the result of coordinated criminal activity,” Steele said.

Conspiracy theorists have also pointed to a Molalla Police Department post on Facebook asking people to call 911 if they see suspicious activity after “a lot of rumors and posts,” going around about looters who may break into evacuated homes. The post was shared widely as supposed proof to back up the anti-fascist rumors.

But Molalla police edited the post at 2 a.m. Thursday to clarify that its warning of looters had no connection to anti-fascists. The department urged people to “stay calm and use common sense.”

Caught some arsonists, but no evidence report that any of them were affiliated with antifa.

Yeah, WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD ANTIFA EVER THROW A MOLOTOV, OR SET ANYTHING ON FIRE? That is just SOOOOO unlike them, especially when there were recent threats to be sure their (and BLMs) "message be felt" by every person/home in America!

Because documented arrests of arson by leftists have already been made public !!!!

Just a few examples:

The Democrats and MSM seek to bury these FACTS

The LEAs like FBI are concerned about copycats, which is why they are in lying mode.

Guys he's confirmed BLM supporter not Antifa.

You idiots jumped to that conclusion because you're scared to criticize BLM.

Piss off FBI, we know your game.

First link: nothing about the arsonist being "leftist" or antifa.

Second link: "The Monterey County District Attorney's Office tells KION that they have no information or evidence suggesting that a woman accused of intentionally starting fires on Highway 101 has any connection to Antifa.

The DA said there is no evidence of that sort of activity in the area."

Third link: The YouTube guy titles his clip "BLM arsonist", but nothing in the video says anything about that.

Forth link: From some site called "American Greatness" alleges the arsonist is a "suspected antifa militant" but provides no evidence.

Or don't know that BLM on the radio chatter means Bureau of Land of Management

Idiots

I thought a texas plate car was caught throwing molotovs in oregon and the kid in washington admitted to arson on 167. So wtf? These are the ONLY accounts of arson? Yeah fucking right bro. FBI doesnt mean shit when people have the internet

Caught some arsonists, but no evidence report that any of them were affiliated with antifa.

Nice try but he's linked to the Marxist group BLM not the government agency.

Haha.

You guys have overplayed your hand.

Hasta la vista, baby

FBI also said "Russia. Russia, Russi" and white supremacists are the ultimate danger.
