Infowars: Deep State Trump Assassins Will Use 'Internet Kill Switch' In Cover-up



Right-wing news outlets Breitbart and Drudge Report were briefly offline yesterday due to a Google Cloud service outage that affected numerous other websites—including Snapchat, Pokemon Go and Spotify—but to Infowars host Owen Shroyer, the brief service outage was proof that an “internet kill switch” exists that the deep state will use to cover up its allegedly planned assassination of President Trump.

Last night, Shroyer went live to talk about this development (after a few drinks with some members of CRTV host Gavin McInnes’ “Proud Boys” hate group) to claim that the service outage was actually an “internet kill-switch test.” Shroyer’s warning is the latest installment in Infowars’ incessant paranoia that the website will be completely eradicated from the internet, which Alex Jones and other hosts stoke to sell products in the Infowars web store.

“It’s not to see if they can shut down the internet. They really couldn’t care less. They’re fine with the internet operating. They can manipulate it. Most people don’t give a damn, anyway, and most people just go on the internet to look at porn,” Shroyer said. “But, if they can assassinate a president and then in the immediate aftermath—say, for three hours—shut down the internet, shut down SEOs, shut down Infowars, shut down Breitbart, they realize after that three hours, half the people that would have been searching that aren’t going to even look for it anymore.”

Shroyer added, “To the average American, the average individual who doesn’t understand where we’re at right now in human history and how deep the corruption of humans really is, this is going to sound insane. It’s going to sound so far out there that, you know, whatever, we’re conspiracy theorists, we’re that, the other thing. But let me tell you, all you have to do is watch C-SPAN for a week and you will see how real this shit is.”

Well at least Alex gave us a battle plan for the #secondcivilwar!

And BTW if you are thinking of alerting on this, this was reposted from Right Wing Watch which is a website that works to expose these assholes, so please don't hurt the messenger.

if all it takes is to knock out the old internets for a few days to remove this guy...Please...shut mine down first. I'll fall on my sword.
Shades of the lights going out on dt in his ridiculous declarations the other day.
Just in case...write down your contacts phone numbers list. You may have to use a pay phone...if you can find one. (Someone said they are right by the post office mail boxes..'all around town'...ahem. We have TWO, other than the post office anymore. Used to be every two blocks.)
