John Guandolo, the disgraced former FBI agent and right-wing conspiracy theorist who now trains law enforcement agencies around the country to identify seemingly anyone with dark skin and a beard as an Islamic terrorist, appeared on The Alex Jones Show yesterday to promote his theory that the recent deadly attack on a synagogue in Pittsburgh was really a Marxist/Jihadi operation.
Guandolo, who has been suspended from Twitter for claiming that the shooting was carried out by a Marxist Democrat, told Jones that the attack, like the recent spate of mail bombs that had been sent to prominent Democrats, was part of a massive disinformation campaign.
(Shooter Robert Bowers was) quoted as saying
that this is for the genocide that is being done to our people or my people and so we need to kill all the Jews, Guandolo said. So the question is: whos his people? Because the only people being accusing of having a genocide committed against them by Jews are Palestinians, are Hamas. So was he identifying himself as part of Hamas? Thats just an investigative question that hasnt been asked.
Guandolos suggestion that Bowers was some sort of Islamic radical is absurd, as all reports suggest that Bowers was a rabid anti-semite who was worried about a white genocide in which Jews and immigrants are supposedly plotting to take over America and eliminate the white race.

And here I had Alex Jones pegged as the one who would start the conspiracy theories. Well he was on the Alex Jones show, so it still kinda counts.

I'd be happy to place a bet with him.
