I'm concerned that infiltrators and instigators are staged to escalate in L.A. [View all]

I (like others on this forum) think the Mexican flags may be a "plant".

I see some folks at the front of the action who seem to be "in costume" and setting a scene. I am now seeing many Keffiyeh scarves, and I even saw what looked like the type of head band worn by Arab militants (like Hamas). I saw some individuals yelling at law enforcement in an antagonistic and relentless way....as if to provoke.

Anyone else see what I am seeing?

Doubt the Mexican flags are plants. I'm sure there are agitators, maybe even some Hegseth undercover henchmen. Silent Type Jun 8 #4
