AMENDED COMPLAINT

NOW COMES Plaintiff Brennan Gilmore, by and through undersigned counsel, and

alleges upon knowledge and belief as follows:

I. INTRODUCTION

Brennan Gilmore works to provide jobs and training in rural areas, participates in local

politics, and plays music around the Commonwealth of Virginia. As a Foreign Service Officer,

Mr. Gilmore has devoted his career to promoting United States interests and to protecting

American citizens through diplomatic efforts abroad. On August 12, 2017, Mr. Gilmore witnessed

firsthand James Alex Fields Jr., a neo-Nazi, deliberately drive his Dodge Challenger into a crowd

of peaceful protesters, killing Heather Heyer and injuring many others. Mr. Gilmore, who had been

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 1 of 99 Pageid#: 406


filming the protesters as they moved up the street, happened to catch Fields’ attack on video. Mr.

Gilmore posted the video on Twitter, where it attracted the attention of the press. After discussing

what he had witnessed that day with a number of reporters, Mr. Gilmore soon became the target

of right-wing conspiracy theories. Supporters of the alt-right and the “Unite the Right” rally,

including the Defendants, created a new identity for Mr. Gilmore—the organizer and orchestrator

of Fields’ attack and a traitor to the United States. Defendants’ lies about Mr. Gilmore quickly

mobilized their armies of followers to launch a campaign of harassment and threats against Mr.

Gilmore that continue to this day.

Supporters of the “Unite the Right” rally, including Defendants, faced a crisis of legitimacy

when a fellow supporter murdered Heather Heyer in cold blood. Defendants needed a scapegoat

to create distance between the ideology they promote and Heyer’s murder. Given Mr. Gilmore’s

connections to Democratic politicians and the State Department, Defendants thought they had their

scapegoat in Mr. Gilmore, and attacked his presentation of the sequence of events based on his

political leanings. But Defendants did more than just twist the publicly available information about

Mr. Gilmore; Defendants created a new identity for Mr. Gilmore out of whole cloth. All Mr.

Gilmore had done was share the truth about the tragic and traumatic act he regrettably witnessed.

For a man who has devoted his life to serving his local community, the Commonwealth, the United

States, and the global community, Defendants’ absurdly false portrayal of him, and the harassment

that followed, was devastating.

Defendants thrive by inciting devastating real-world consequences with the lies they

publish as “news.” From “Pizzagate” to the Sandy Hook, Las Vegas, and Parkland shootings,

certain Defendants have subjected innocent people to relentless threats of violence and death,

bullying, and online harassment. Defendants’ use of Mr. Gilmore as a tool for their agenda had

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 2 of 99 Pageid#: 407


immediate, tangible consequences for Mr. Gilmore and his family. A list of Mr. Gilmore and his

parents’ known addresses was posted online, prompting local law enforcement to patrol his

parents’ home. Mr. Gilmore suffered from an overwhelming volume of hate mail and death threats,

hacking attempts, and even in-person harassment on the streets of Charlottesville.

To this day, Mr. Gilmore suffers the effects of this character assassination: his career as a

diplomat has been compromised, he has lost potential partners and clients in his most recent

business venture, and his social relationships have been irreversibly damaged.

Fact-based journalism is essential to our democracy, because it provides citizens with

objective, reality-based information on issues of public concern. While Defendants masquerade as

fact-based journalists, in reality Defendants spread lies to construct false narratives that terrify a

gullible audience, all in a desperate attempt to generate revenue and momentum for a hateful

agenda. The First Amendment necessarily creates space for democratic debate, but it does not and

cannot protect the spread of deliberate lies driven by hate and designed to incite violence against

private citizens. In this era of ubiquitous smartphones and social media saturation, ordinary citizens

like Mr. Gilmore increasingly find themselves in situations where they capture breaking news and

are compelled out of civic duty to share it. The consequences for fulfilling this civic duty cannot

include becoming the target of premeditated character assassination, based on lies and carried out

by professional conspiracy theorists instrumentalizing their throngs of followers.

Brennan Gilmore told the truth about what he saw in Charlottesville, and he refuses to be

intimidated and silenced by Defendants’ dangerous and defamatory lies.

II. JURISDICTION AND VENUE

1. This action arises under Virginia law because Defendants’ statements were published to

Virginia residents and caused ultimate injury to the Plaintiff in Virginia.

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 3 of 99 Pageid#: 408


2. Venue is proper in this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b)(2) because a substantial part

of the events giving rise to the claim occurred in and around Charlottesville, Virginia and

Lexington, Virginia.

3. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to Article III of the United States

Constitution and 28 U.S.C. § 1332. The amount in controversy exceeds $75,000 for each

Defendant, exclusive of interests and costs, and there is diversity of citizenship.

4. This Court has personal jurisdiction over Defendants under Virginia’s long-arm statute,

Va. Code § 80.1-328.1(A)(1) and (A)(4), as well as the Due Process Clause of the United

States Constitution. The claims in this Complaint arise from Defendants’ tortious conduct

which caused injury in Virginia, and Defendants’ substantial business activity in Virginia.

Exercising jurisdiction over the Defendants would not offend traditional notions of fair

play and substantial justice because the Defendants deliberately targeted Mr. Gilmore, a

Virginia resident, by making false and defamatory statements about his presence at and

observation of an event that took place in Virginia. The event in which Defendants

implicate Mr. Gilmore occurred in part on the campus of the University of Virginia,

concerned the proposed removal of a Confederate statute in Virginia and the renaming of

a Virginia park, and thus was of particular importance to local Virginians. The injury

resulting from Defendants’ tortious conduct occurred primarily within Virginia.

5. Defendants injured Plaintiff Gilmore in the Commonwealth of Virginia by their conduct

outside the Commonwealth. In doing so, Defendants were aware that Mr. Gilmore was a

resident of Virginia and that the matters discussed in their published content primarily

concerned and were of concern to Virginians. Defendants were aware that the larger

controversy driving the event in which Mr. Gilmore was implicated was a divisive issue of

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 4 of 99 Pageid#: 409


Virginia history, its Confederate monuments, and thus Defendants’ publications were

intended to target and incite a Virginia audience.

6. Defendants’ statements, published to persons in Virginia, ultimately resulted in injury to

Plaintiff Gilmore in Virginia. Defendants’ false and defamatory statements were directed

at, received, and read by individuals and businesses in Virginia. As a result, Plaintiff

Gilmore has experienced irreversible personal and professional damage in Virginia,

including reputational harm, the loss of business opportunities in Virginia, irreparable

damage to his career as a Foreign Service Officer, and the loss of friendships with

individuals in Virginia. Furthermore, as a result of publication in Virginia, Plaintiff also

suffered threats and harassment directed at him and his family in Virginia so severe that he

sought the protection of local Virginia police.

7. Upon information and belief, all Defendants regularly do and/or solicit significant business

in Virginia, engage in other persistent courses of conduct, or derive substantial revenue

from goods sold to, goods used or consumed, or services rendered in Virginia, such that

they have made minimum contacts with the state and have purposefully availed themselves

of its laws. Upon information and belief, Defendant Stranahan temporarily conducts

business from a shared workspace in Arlington, Virginia.

8. Defendants generate substantial revenue from the Commonwealth of Virginia as a result

of their content-driven business model. Some internet-based media providers, including

Defendants, generate revenue by providing content to their readers in exchange for readers’

attention to advertisements placed throughout their media content. Defendants then receive

payment from the advertiser that corresponds to how many times the ad has been viewed

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 5 of 99 Pageid#: 410


by Defendants’ readers. Thus, the Defendants are paid each time a reader from Virginia

views their websites or videos.

9. On information and belief, InfoWars attracts approximately twenty million viewers per

month, Hoft’s Gateway Pundit attracts approximately three million viewers per month,

Allen B. West’s website attracts approximately forty-nine thousand viewers per month,

and American Everyman attracts approximately eight thousand viewers per month. Upon

information and belief, a significant portion of viewers of each website are Virginia

residents. For Defendants, this amounts to revenue estimated to be at least several thousand

dollars and up to several million dollars. Thus, upon information and belief, all Defendants

generate substantial revenue as a result of transactions with individuals residing in Virginia.

10. Defendants Infowars, Free Speech Systems, and Words-N-Ideas solicit and transact

business through their online stores, which results in the transmission of currency in

exchange for their goods or services. According to New York Magazine, the “vast majority”

of Defendant InfoWars’ operating revenue comes from the sale of InfoWars-branded

dietary supplements.1 Upon information and belief, Defendant InfoWars sold and delivered

its dietary supplements to persons residing in Virginia and used that revenue to publish

defamatory statements against Mr. Gilmore. Upon information and belief, a substantial

portion of this revenue is the result of transactions with individuals in Virginia.

Furthermore, Defendant Jones’ radio show is aired on the Genesis Communication

Network’s Virginia affiliate stations, which publishes content to Virginians.

11. Defendants Jones, Infowars, McAdoo, Stranahan, and Free Speech Systems have gone

further to purposefully avail themselves of Virginia, where Defendants carried out a plan

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 6 of 99 Pageid#: 411


to report on and cover prominently the “Unite the Right” rally in Virginia. InfoWars

reporters attended and reported on the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville.2

Defendants Jones, Infowars, McAdoo, Stranahan, and Free Speech Systems produced

multiple segments, articles, and other content about the Virginia event and covered the

event as part of a journalistic endeavor.

12. Therefore, Defendants should have foreseen that they would be forced to answer for their

tortious conduct, and the resulting injuries to Mr. Gilmore, in a Virginia court.

IV. FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS

A. The “Unite the Right” Rally

25. On August 12, 2017, hundreds of white supremacists and neo-Nazis gathered in

Charlottesville, Virginia for what they labeled the “Unite the Right” rally. The rally was

held in Charlottesville in response to decisions by the Charlottesville City Council to

remove a statute of Confederate General Robert E. Lee from a small city park and change

that park’s name from “Lee Park” to “Emancipation Park.”

26. These white supremacists and neo-Nazis organized the rally to further their ideologies of

hatred and to intimidate the residents of Charlottesville. Many marched with swastikas,

chanting the Nazi call, “blood and soil,” in reference to the notion that ethnicity and blood

descent is determinative of entitlement to the land. Some of the rally’s participants carried

firearms, wore body armor, and deliberately positioned themselves to create violent clashes

with counter-protesters.24

27. The counter-protesters came from many backgrounds, united in opposition to white

supremacy. Many were ordinary residents of Charlottesville and neighboring communities.

Mr. Gilmore was among the peaceful counter-protesters on August 12 in his personal

capacity as a concerned resident, and not in any sort of capacity as an employee or agent

of the United States government.

28. On the morning of August 12, rally participants and counter-protesters met at the site of

the anticipated rally. Pockets of each side engaged in physical altercations; Mr. Gilmore

and the vast majority of counter-protesters remained peaceful. By 11:40 a.m., twenty

minutes before the “Unite the Right” rally was to begin, the state police declared the

gathering an unlawful assembly and ordered the crowd to disperse.25

B. James Alex Fields Jr.’s Attack

29. At or around 1:42 p.m., following the aborted rally, James Alex Fields Jr. drove his Dodge

Challenger into a crowd of peaceful counter-protesters, killing one, Heather Heyer, and

injuring approximately thirty-six others. Fields is a neo-Nazi sympathizer and has been

charged with multiple felonies related to his deliberate act of terror. 26 Attorney General

Jefferson Sessions stated that this attack by a white supremacist was an act of domestic

terrorism.

30. Mr. Gilmore noticed Fields’ Dodge Challenger driving toward the crowd after he had

already begun recording a gathering of counter-protesters marching up Fourth Street in

Charlottesville. His immediate reaction was to continue to record the event on his

smartphone. In the video, Mr. Gilmore happened to catch the Challenger ramming into the

crowd, and then reversing in flight from the scene.

31. Mr. Gilmore was conflicted about sharing the recording of the attack publicly. He did not

want the attention that sharing the video on social media might bring, and he was

uncomfortable about sharing a recording of what he assumed at the time was a video

capturing multiple deaths. He felt it necessary to share the video on his Twitter account

after hearing from family and friends that media outlets were suggesting the incident was

13

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 13 of 99 Pageid#: 418


something other than a deliberate attack. Mr. Gilmore realized his recording unequivocally

showed that the attack was a deliberate attempt to injure and kill peaceful counter-

protesters—not an accident or act of self-defense. Mr. Gilmore also feared that an already

violent day in Charlottesville could get worse, and he felt it was his duty to help convince

the public to stay off the streets until safety was reestablished.

32. Out of concern for his friends and neighbors, Mr. Gilmore decided to share the video via a

tweet, a short statement posted along with the video to his Twitter account. At the time,

Mr. Gilmore had a few hundred followers, most of whom were also from the

Charlottesville area, or Virginia.

33. Not long after he shared the video on his Twitter account, Mr. Gilmore began to receive

media requests from national, local, and international outlets. He was first contacted by

14

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 14 of 99 Pageid#: 419


Brian Rosenthal of the New York Times on August 12, 2017 via Twitter. More requests

for interviews followed.

34. Mr. Gilmore spoke with multiple television news networks and other news media to

provide an eyewitness account on August 12 and 13, 2017. Each time he was asked, he

relayed a factual account of what he had witnessed first-hand, hoping that by making

himself available in this way he could convey the seriousness and certainty of what he had

seen.

35. At no time during August 12 and 13, 2017 did Mr. Gilmore solicit requests from media

outlets to appear on their televisions or make statements for print publications. He

consented to appear as a fact witness on various outlets when asked, but he did not reach

out to media outlets on his own initiative, or ask media outlets to share his video or his

statements.

C. Conspiracy Theories About the Attack

36. Within twenty-four hours of uploading his video onto Twitter, the Defendants’ first articles

about Mr. Gilmore appeared online, accusing him of being a CIA or “Deep State”27

operative who helped orchestrate Fields’ attack as a “false flag.” 28 Defendants continued

to direct baseless allegations against him in the days and weeks that followed.

27
“Deep State” is defined by the Oxford Dictionary as “[a] body of people, typically influential members of
government agencies or the military, believed to be involved in the secret manipulation or control of government
policy.” Deep State, OXFORD DICTIONARY, https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/deep_state (last visited Apr.
19, 2018). In the parlance of Defendants and the “Alt-Right,” the “Deep State” is a perceived left-wing, organized
bureaucratic resistance to the Trump Administration.

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 15 of 99 Pageid#: 420


Publication by Scott Creighton

37. In the early hours of August 13, 2017, Defendant Scott Creighton published an article

entitled “Charlottesville Attack, Brennan Gilmore and… the STOP KONY 2012 Pysop?

What?” on his website, AmericanEveryman,29 and shared a link to the article with his 1,139

followers on Twitter.30 See Exhibit A. AmericanEveryman is a national news website that

receives hundreds, if not thousands, of unique visitors each month. Defendant Creighton

subsequently republished the article on at least two other websites.31 See Exhibits B-C.

38. In this article, Defendant Creighton notes Mr. Gilmore’s experience as a Foreign Service

Officer in the Central African Republic and his work as chief of staff to Tom Perriello. On

the basis of these true facts, along with Mr. Gilmore’s statement of belief that the attack

was an act of terrorism, Defendant Creighton falsely states that Mr. Gilmore cannot have

been a mere bystander who happened to record the attack. Instead, Creighton falsely

implies that Mr. Gilmore had foreknowledge of Fields’ plan to plow his car into the

protesters (italics added):

But Brennan wasn’t filming [the protesters] was he? No. But he did film the
Charger heading all the way down the street into the crowd of protesters…
almost as if he knew it would run into them rather than simply brake and sit
and wait like the other cars in front of it. Again, not a smoking gun in and
of itself, but when combined with all the other coincidences surrounding his
video PLUS the fact that he was ready to go with the divide and conquer
establishment version of events for CNN while people were still lying on the
hot pavement, it kind of makes you wonder doesn’t it?

PLUS… Brennan says it is “definitely terrorism”… no doubt about it.


HAS to be “terrorism”, right?

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 16 of 99 Pageid#: 421


Let me take a second to explain something to you. Terrorism is an act of
violence or the THREAT of violence designed to prompt a change in a
country in terms of its economic, political or social structure.

How is ramming a car into a crowd of protesters you don’t like to be


considered an effort by that ONE PERSON to bring about a change in this
country’s social structure? Are we to assume the driver thought that
running over a few counter protesters would make the rest of the country
step back and say “yeah, the Robert E. Lee statue is history, not racism”
and let it stand?

A terrorist blows up an airport because he wants to DISRUPT commerce


and travel. A terrorist runs a campaign like GLADIO because he wants to
prevent a nation from slipping too far to the left. A racist might run over
“goddamned hippies” because he HATES THEM. But that’s NOT
terrorism.

However… if the event, the mass casualty event, was PLANNED to


destabilize the nation, to DIVIDE the “alt-left’ and the “alt-right”… then
THAT IS TERRORISM. [...]

[I]s it possible this man with links to Special Ops and CIA and various other
black ops kinds of actors just HAPPENED to be there at that particular
moment in history? Yeah, I guess that’s possible, if you’re into coincidence
theories I suppose. But I’m not into such things. Clearly the State
Department has a lot of disgruntled former employees who would delight in
destabilizing Trump’s tenure even more than they already have. And
Gilmore . . . seem[s] particularly invested in undermining the “alt-right”
in the lead-up to the next round of elections. Waaaaaay [sic] too much
coincidence for me folks. Waaaaaay [sic] too much.

39. Creighton emphasizes certain words, by capitalizing or lengthening with additional vowels,

to falsely convey to his readers that the circumstances overwhelmingly prove that Mr.

Gilmore’s presence during the attack was not coincidence.

40. By stating that he is not into coincidence theories, Mr. Creighton explicitly disclaims the

conclusion that his statements about Mr. Gilmore are hyperbole or opinion.

41. At another point in the article, Creighton refers to Mr. Gilmore as a “convenient witness,”

using scare quotation marks to convey to readers that Mr. Gilmore was not actually a

17

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 17 of 99 Pageid#: 422


convenient witness. In fact, this falsely implies his knowledge of and participation in

Fields’ attack. Through this use of ironic emphasis and the word “convenient,” Creighton

makes it clear that he is not merely expressing an opinion, but is asserting as a fact that Mr.

Gilmore’s presence during the car attack was due to his foreknowledge that the attack

would happen, because he was part of a terrorist conspiracy to stage a “mass casualty event

. . . planned to destabilize the nation.” This assertion of fact, including the assertion that he

was “a convenient witness,” is objectively and demonstrably false.

42. Creighton falsely states that Mr. Gilmore is a “former” State Department employee. This

objectively false statement is used to support Creighton’s assertion Mr. Gilmore is among

the “disgruntled former employees who would delight in destabilizing Trump’s tenure even

more than they already have,” and that this is why Mr. Gilmore helped organize and stage

the car attack in Charlottesville.

43. While Creighton discloses some of the facts upon which he bases his false and defamatory

conclusion that Mr. Gilmore had foreknowledge of Fields’ terrorist attack, Creighton’s

assertion reasonably indicates to his readers that Creighton knows of the existence of other

undisclosed defamatory facts that justify his conclusion. For instance, Creighton does not

disclose the underlying facts upon which he bases his assertion that “[c]learly the State

Department has a lot of disgruntled former employees” and the false implication that Mr.

Gilmore is one of them. A reasonable reader would interpret this to mean that Creighton

has personal knowledge of Mr. Gilmore’s employment status or his state of mind, when in

reality Creighton possesses no such knowledge.

44. Creighton knew that his readers would understand the clear meaning of his words, and he

intended that they interpret his statements as assertions of fact. Indeed, the comments left

18

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 18 of 99 Pageid#: 423


by Creighton’s followers and others who read his article demonstrate that they clearly

understood Creighton to be asserting facts: that Mr. Gilmore in fact lied about what he

witnessed in Charlottesville, and that Mr. Gilmore was actually a party to a criminal

conspiracy to stage Fields’ car attack that killed Heather Heyer and injured many more.

45. One commenter on Creighton’s article stated that “Brennan Gilmore is a C.I.A. officer who

was working under official cover with the U.S. State Dept.” Another commenter stated that

“[Brennan]’s not State, he’s CIA. And he’s not disgruntled, he’s still on the job, as a [sic]

illegal domestic NOC. If you meet the scumbag sometime, ask him about all the airdrops

that Kony’s harem lived on. But anyway, good catch.” Creighton endorsed this reading of

his article and responded under his pseudonym, willyloman, by saying “thank you.” In

another illustrative comment, one of Creighton’s followers on Twitter commends him for

being the “first on the scene” in uncovering this “psyop” (short for “psychological

operation,” a term used to describe covert operations).32 These comments demonstrate that

Creighton’s readers understand him to be making assertions of fact about Mr. Gilmore, and

congratulate him for uncovering the truth about Mr. Gilmore.

46. In a companion video entitled “Charlottesville Attack – Brennan Gilmore: Witness or

Accessory,” (see Exhibit D) uploaded to his YouTube channel with the account name

“AmericanEveryman” that same day, Defendant Creighton repeats and expands upon the

allegations contained in the article he published on his website (italics added):33

CREIGHTON: He just happened to be there, at the specific place, where he


could film the whole thing, from beginning, middle, to end. He just
happened to have his camera running, he just happened for some reason to
record this car driving for five seconds, before it did anything out of the

ordinary, and just happened to have just the right message, just the right
establishment message for CNN . . .

He has ties to special operations, special forces, CIA, State Department,


Hillary Clinton, and Tom Perriello, who has a long career of doing this kind
of thing. People will call me a conspiracy theorist because what I am
suggesting here is that someone had foreknowledge, that this event was
going to happen . . . This man has every reason to want to see the support,
the base for Donald Trump again mischaracterized as Nazis. He has every
reason to do that . . . .

This guy just happens to be on that fucking corner with his camera rolling,
watching that car drive by for five seconds, and he’s former State
Department, and close to Tom Perriello, who is also former State
Department obviously, he’s got a fucking ax to grind, that’s one hell of a
goddamn coincidence, and you got to be a special kind of stupid to buy that.

47. Similar to the statements made in his written article, Creighton again falsely asserts that

Mr. Gilmore was aware of and part of Fields’ plan to plow his car into the protesters.

Creighton even directly states that he is suggesting that Mr. Gilmore had “foreknowledge[]

that this event was going to happen.” This is a statement of fact that is objectively false.

48. To emphasize that he is asserting a statement of fact about Mr. Gilmore’s role in the

Charlottesville attack, Creighton goes on to say that Mr. Gilmore’s recording of Fields’ car

attack is “one hell of a goddamn coincidence, and you got to be a special kind of stupid to

buy that.” There can be no doubt in the mind of an individual watching the video that

Creighton is stating a fact: that Mr. Gilmore had foreknowledge of Fields’ car attack

because he was involved in its planning and execution. This was clearly the understanding

of Mr. Creighton’s viewers and followers.

49. Again, while Creighton discloses some of the facts upon which he bases his false and

defamatory conclusion that Mr. Gilmore had foreknowledge of Fields’ terrorist attack, the

nature of Creighton’s conclusion reasonably indicates to his viewers that Creighton knows

20

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 20 of 99 Pageid#: 425


of the existence of other undisclosed defamatory facts that would justify the conclusion he

reaches, such as personal knowledge of Mr. Gilmore’s state of mind.

50. Creighton clearly and directly states that Mr. Gilmore was a party to a planned psy-op that

killed and injured human beings in Charlottesville. This is false, defamatory, and

malicious, and has exposed Mr. Gilmore to hatred and contempt, as demonstrated by the

threats and harassment Mr. Gilmore experienced and continues to experience. These

statements have also deterred friends, acquaintances, and members of the community from

associating with Mr. Gilmore, and have imperiled his ability to continue serving as a State

Department employee, because Mr. Gilmore’s ability to continue to do diplomatic work is

severely hindered by the false claim that he participated in a secret operation to stage

violence and commit murder.

51. At no point prior to or after publishing his article or video did Creighton investigate the

outrageous and improbable factual allegations included in his story. He conducted no

research beyond identifying a few disparate facts from Mr. Gilmore’s biography and

references to similar conspiracies.

52. Creighton did not reach out to Mr. Gilmore to confirm the story’s statements or

conclusions. Nor did Creighton reach out to any of the other individuals or organizations

named in his article for comment or confirmation of even the most basic facts it included.

53. Creighton did not reach out to Mr. Gilmore for comment or to respond to the allegations

included in the article.

54. Creighton did not have the facts alleged independently fact-checked.

55. Creighton never updated or corrected information about Mr. Gilmore after he published

his defamatory article.

21

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 21 of 99 Pageid#: 426


56. All of these failures demonstrate that Creighton deliberately distorted the facts and their

context, and departed from even the most basic journalistic standards of accuracy for

factual reporting.

57. Mr. Creighton harbored animosity and ill will toward “psy-ops,”34 and those who

participate in “psy-ops.” Creighton has a long history of accusing individuals and

government entities of staging controversial and newsworthy events, including

“Pizzagate,” the Charleston shooting, and the refugee crisis in Syria, all to hide or distract

the American public from more scandalous conduct, or to push “globalist” agendas.35

Thus, where Defendant Creighton falsely identified Mr. Gilmore as being a member of a

“psy-op” in his previous employment and in Charlottesville, he intended to injure Mr.

Gilmore and his reputation.

58. Creighton would not admit that the Charlottesville attack was the act of a white

supremacist. Instead, Creighton utilized a preconceived and well-worn narrative that the

attack was a “psy-op” staged by individuals and government entities.

34
In a previous article, Creighton himself has provided the following definition of “psy-op,” as taken from the
Department of Defense Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms:
“Planned operations to convey selected information and indicators to foreign audiences to influence their emotions,
motives, objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of foreign governments, organizations, groups, and
individuals. The purpose of psychological operations is to induce or reinforce foreign attitudes and behavior
favorable to the originator’s objectives.” Scott Creighton, UCF Psyop: SSgt Arabo Babakhani – “Campus Hero”

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 22 of 99 Pageid#: 427


59. Defendant Creighton’s prior articles and videos make clear that he conceived a storyline

about the events in Charlottesville in advance of any investigation (or lack thereof) and

then consciously set out to make his false statements about Mr. Gilmore conform to his

preconceived narrative. For example, Creighton had previously posted an article and

accompanying video describing the counter-protesters in Charlottesville as “the Soros-

backed36 side of this destabilization event.”37 In addition, he has published statements after

recent national tragedies implying that the United States government staged the Sandy

Hook school massacre and used the Sutherland Springs shooter as a “patsy,” both to bolster

support for gun control. Thus, by stating that Mr. Gilmore had advanced knowledge of the

attack in Charlottesville and delivered a “pre-approved establishment message,”

Defendant Creighton made Mr. Gilmore a central actor in the narrative he had already

crafted: that the violence in Charlottesville was a CIA and State Department “psy-op,”

funded by George Soros, designed to sow distrust and unrest, and ultimately to undermine

the nation and overthrow the Trump Administration.

60. Creighton ran this story despite entertaining serious doubts about the veracity of his claims,

which he demonstrated, at minimum, by directly disavowing the simplest (and the factually

accurate) explanation: that Mr. Gilmore’s witnessing of Fields’ attack was a tragic and

traumatizing coincidence, and that Mr. Gilmore’s employment with the State Department

had absolutely nothing to do with his presence in Charlottesville that day. By twisting true

facts about Mr. Gilmore’s employment history with false assertions to fit a preconceived

This philanthropic billionaire has long the subject of right-wing conspiracy theorists. Most recently, he’s been
accused of funding the white-nationalist rally in Charlottesville, the Black Lives Matter and Antifa movements,
Colin Kaepernick’s NFL protest, and even the Women’s March in Washington, D.C.

narrative and ill will toward alleged “psy-ops,” Creighton knowingly or recklessly

disregarded that his statements and their implications were false.

61. Before it was removed from YouTube’s website, Defendant Creighton’s YouTube channel

had over 2,000 subscribers. As of January 2018, Defendant Creighton’s video about Mr.

Gilmore had been watched nearly 19,000 times.

Publication by James Hoft

62. The next morning, on August 14, 2017, Defendant James Hoft published “Random Man at

Protests Interviewed by MSNBC, NY Times Is Deep State Shill Linked to George Soros”

on his website Gateway Pundit.38 See Exhibit E. The Gateway Pundit website is viewed

approximately three million times nationwide every month and considers itself to be the

“voice of Middle America.” Lucian B. Wintrich, the Washington, D.C. correspondent for

Gateway Pundit, was granted temporary press credentials by the Trump administration and

was thus able to attend White House press briefings and ask questions of the press

secretary.39

63. In this article, Defendant Hoft asserts unequivocally in the article’s title, lede, and the body

of the article that Mr. Gilmore is “a deep state shill” who is part of the State Department’s

attempt to cover up its involvement in instigating the attack in Charlottesville. Hoft,

republishing screenshots from the Reddit subgroup “The Donald” to bolster his claims,

wrote:

The random Charlottesville observer who was interviewed by MSNBC and


liberal outlets turns out to be a deep state shill with links to George Soros.
It looks like the State Department was involved in Charlottesville rioting
and is trying to cover it up. But after Deep State got caught they are trying
to erase this guy from their records.

The State Department is very familiar with Brennan Gilmore. He was


involved in the Kony 2012 operation. The State Department later removed
any reference of Brennan. Why would the State Department react in such
a way? Why would the State Department scrub that? . . . This weekend
Brennan Gilmore happened to be in Charlottesville with the rioters. The
media knows exactly who he is yet played it off like a casual observer. This

is how the Deep State is working with the liberal media to shape narrative
and fool the American people.

64. Hoft’s statement that Mr. Gilmore “is a deep state shill” is a direct false assertion that Mr.

Gilmore is an accomplice to a con or fraud perpetrated by the government.40 The accusation

that Mr. Gilmore participated in a government-orchestrated scam in Charlottesville is an

assertion of fact that is objectively and verifiably false.

65. Hoft states and republishes statements from a disreputable Reddit thread that falsely assert

that Mr. Gilmore and/or the State Department removed references to Mr. Gilmore’s State

Department work in an attempt to cover up their alleged involvement in the Charlottesville

rioting. This is false: Mr. Gilmore’s information regarding his previous post as Deputy

Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in the Central African Republic was removed when

the Embassy rebuilt its website to reflect current staff information, after Mr. Gilmore left

the Embassy. It was not removed in an attempt to cover up Mr. Gilmore’s presence in

Charlottesville, and certainly not to cover up an alleged role orchestrating the rioting and

violence there.

66. Hoft also implies that the New York Times removed a reference to Mr. Gilmore from their

article to hide Mr. Gilmore’s relationship to the State Department, at the request of Mr.

Gilmore and/or the State Department. This is false: Mr. Gilmore did not, and to his

knowledge, the State Department did not, request the removal of the reference to Mr.

Gilmore and his employment history. Rather, as is common practice, the article in question

reflected a breaking news story published on the Times’ website that was revised and

updated as the story developed. Mr. Gilmore’s quote and information was removed as

more pertinent information became available.41

67. Through statements such as “[t]he media knows exactly who he is yet played it off like a

casual observer,” and “it looks like the State Department was involved in Charlottesville

and is trying to cover it up,” and by describing Mr. Gilmore’s presence at and later

description of the events in Charlottesville as proving how “the Deep State is working with

the liberal media to shape narrative and fool the American people,” Hoft implies a number

of assertions of fact that are provably false: 1) that the State Department organized the

Charlottesville rioting and/or attack; 2) that Mr. Gilmore participated in the State

Department’s planning of the Charlottesville riots and/or attack; 3) that the State

Department conspired to conceal these facts by removing information about Mr. Gilmore

from a number of internet sources; 4) that media outlets were involved in the conspiracy

because they knew Mr. Gilmore was a State Department employee; 5) that the media

characterized Mr. Gilmore as a casual observer because they were working in concert with

Mr. Gilmore, the State Department, and other government agencies to cover up their

involvement in the conspiracy; and 6) that all of these conspirators worked together to

deceive the public about what happened in Charlottesville that day.

68. Hoft knew that his readers would understand the clear meaning of his words and intended

that they would interpret his statements as assertions of fact.

69. Indeed, Hoft’s readers clearly viewed the statements in Hoft’s article as assertions of fact

that were the result of diligent investigative journalism, as demonstrated by the comments

left on the article. After Hoft shared a link to the article with his 83,000 followers on

Twitter,42 his followers quickly re-posted and shared the article over one hundred times,

and they responded with comments on Twitter such as “Instigated by the Left—as has been

happening for years now!”43 Readers also commented on the article’s page on the Gateway

Pundit website, saying: “There you go. I'll bet there were plenty of deep state ‘plants’ on

hand to spur the events;” “This a good piece of investigation. The encouraging thing is that

truth can still be found. The discouraging thing is that the evil corrupt actions go so deep;”

“That ‘random man’ better watch his back because he’s become ‘inconvenient’ to those he

was working for! They might want to erase more than his history.”

70. By both stating and insinuating that Mr. Gilmore was an accomplice to a government plot

to stage a violent riot and/or attack that killed and injured individuals in Charlottesville,

and cover it up, Hoft falsely brands Mr. Gilmore as a criminal, a fraud, and an accessory

to murder.

71. Such statements and implications are malicious, and have exposed Mr. Gilmore to hatred

and contempt, as demonstrated by the threats and harassment Mr. Gilmore experienced and

continues to experience. These implications have also deterred friends, acquaintances, and

members of the community from associating with Mr. Gilmore and have imperiled his

ability to continue serving as a State Department employee, because Mr. Gilmore’s ability

to continue to do diplomatic work is severely hindered by the false claim that he

participated in a secret operation to stage riots and a violent attack and commit murder.

improbable, and false factual allegations included in his story.

73. Defendant Hoft did not reach out to Mr. Gilmore for comment or to respond to the

allegations included in the article.

74. Defendant Hoft did not identify any reputable human sources in his article with actual

knowledge of the events described, and Hoft had reason to doubt the veracity of the

anonymous, disreputable Reddit forum he cites. Nor did Hoft have the facts alleged

independently fact-checked.

75. Defendant Hoft never updated or corrected information about Mr. Gilmore after he

published the defamatory article.

76. Defendant Hoft did not reach out to Mr. Gilmore to confirm the statements or conclusions

in his article prior to publication. Nor did Hoft reach out to any of the other individuals or

organizations named in his article to confirm the accuracy of his statements and claims.

77. Instead, Defendant Hoft relied entirely on screenshots from an anonymous, disreputable

Reddit post as his “research.”

78. All of these failures clearly demonstrate that Hoft deliberately distorted the facts and their

context and departed from even the most basic journalistic standards of accuracy and fact-

checking for factual reporting.

79. Defendant Hoft harbored animosity and ill will toward the so-called “Deep State,” a

perceived left-wing, organized bureaucratic resistance to the Trump Administration.

Because Hoft identified Mr. Gilmore as being a member of the “Deep State,” he intended

to injure Mr. Gilmore and his reputation. Defendant Hoft has previously authored articles

and published videos similarly claiming that the “Deep State” is attempting to plan a coup

29

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 29 of 99 Pageid#: 434


to oust President Trump.44 He has published claims that State Department employees have

“worked together to overthrow other governments” and thus “it was inevitable they would

use the gun on [the U.S. government].”45 These statements are clearly intended for his

audience to make the inference that Mr. Gilmore was one of these State Department

employees allegedly attempting to plan such a coup. While Hoft attributed the car attack

to “white supremacist James Alex Fields,” Hoft sought to deflect blame away from the alt-

right by utilizing a preconceived and well-worn narrative that the “Deep State” was behind

the attack. Hoft then consciously set out to make his false statements about Mr. Gilmore

conform to that narrative.

80. After the attack in Charlottesville, Defendant Hoft used the factually inaccurate

screenshots from Reddit to invent a nefarious role and identity for Mr. Gilmore in order to

promote this preconceived narrative: that the violence in Charlottesville was a creation of

the “Deep State,” that Mr. Gilmore was a central accomplice to that effort, and that the

media was working with the “Deep State” to cover up their role in Charlottesville and

deceive the American public.

81. Defendant Hoft did this despite entertaining the serious doubts about the veracity of his

factually accurate) explanation: that Mr. Gilmore’s witnessing of Fields’ attack was a tragic

and traumatic coincidence and that Mr. Gilmore’s employment with the State Department

had absolutely nothing to do with his presence in Charlottesville that day. By twisting true

facts about Brennan’s employment history with false allegations to fit his preconceived

narrative and ill will toward the “Deep State,” Defendant Hoft knowingly and recklessly

disregarded that his statements and their implications were false.

Publications by InfoWars

83. On August 15, 2017, Defendant InfoWars, a website owned and operated by Defendant

Jones, published an article authored by Defendant Lee Ann McAdoo and an accompanying

video, both entitled “Bombshell Connection Between Charlottesville, Soros, CIA.”46 See

Exhibit F. The title of the article and video asserts that the violence in Charlottesville was

connected to Soros and the CIA. McAdoo writes:

As demonstrated this weekend, a civil war is brewing in this country, laying


the foundation for a violent coup to take out Trump.

Soros-funded NGO’s have been able to achieve regime change in other


countries by quite literally teaming up with Neo-nazis and “moderate”
terrorists.

Now, investigative reporter Lee Stranahan reveals the same players


involved in the Ukraine overthrow are working behind the scenes to oust
President Trump.

Because the video goes on to describe Mr. Gilmore and his alleged connection to Ukraine

and Soros, the factual allegation that he is one of the “same players [. . .] working behind

the scenes to oust President Trump.” This is false. In the first seconds of the video interview

with Defendant Stranahan, Defendant McAdoo reiterates that there is a “Deep State coup

underway to oust Trump.” She then goes on to introduce Stranahan, telling viewers that

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 31 of 99 Pageid#: 436


“everyone needs to be following Lee on Twitter. . . he can’t even wait to post his articles

the next day: he wants to give it to you live via Periscope [a live video streaming service]

so you can get the real news before everyone else,” and that Stranahan is “saving journalism

over at CitizenJournalismSchool.com.” McAdoo’s statements convey to viewers that

Stranahan is not merely providing opinion or commentary, but truthful, “real news” based

on facts and research, the content of which she endorses.

84. After McAdoo’s introduction, Defendant Stranahan discusses his background and interest

in groups like Occupy, Black Lives Matter, and the Anti-Fascists (“Antifa”), all of which

are “Soros-funded . . . everyone who watches InfoWars knows and understands that.”

Stranahan then goes on to allege that the United States government, under the Obama

Administration and Hillary Clinton State Department, and the CIA “sponsored a coup” in

Ukraine that was “funded by Soros.” On the screen, Stranahan and McAdoo show a Google

Image search for Svoboda, an “Ukrainian neo-Nazi party,” conducting tiki-torch marches

“exactly like we saw in Charlottesville.” After a discussion about Ukraine, the ideology of

white supremacists, and Obama/Clinton/Soros, Stranahan talks about the importance of

insurrectionist movements having “martyrs” and suggests that Heather Heyer may have

been a “martyr” created by “Soros-funded NGO’s” to orchestrate a “regime change” in the

United States:

STRANAHAN: So it’s come out that Brennan Gilmore was working with
the U.S. - the guy who happened to catch that shot [of Fields’ car attack] -
with the U.S. State Department. He also worked for a Democratic
Representative, but let me point out something else…

While Stranahan discusses Mr. Gilmore, scenes of violent riots and people in riot gear from

Oliver Stone’s “Ukraine on Fire” film plays on the screen. Stranahan and McAdoo

deliberately collocate this visual with Stranahan’s narration to falsely imply Mr. Gilmore

32

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 32 of 99 Pageid#: 437


is part of what Stranahan claimed was a Soros-funded and United States government-

sponsored coup beginning in Ukraine and further carried out in Charlottesville.47

STRANAHAN: If you go to Brennan Gilmore’s page, his Twitter page,


you’ll see he has a picture of the young woman who was murdered, and you
know what is says? “Martyr.” . . . Literally it says “martyr.” You can’t be
more explicit than this. So here’s what I’m saying. I’m not a conspiracy
theorist, I’m a fact-based journalist. The facts are enough. However, the
Democrats have investigated Trump for a lot less. For a lot less. They have
called for investigations, and secret meetings, they have convened the FBI.
When you have this many things going on, I think someone really needs to
investigate. Again, I don’t like to jump to conclusions, I’d like to ask some
questions about who this kid was, where he came from, what do we know,
get it all out in the open, but I’ll also point out that we can’t count on the
media to do this.

By stating that Mr. Gilmore should be investigated by the FBI, Defendant Stranahan falsely

implies that Mr. Gilmore’s identity, origin, and presence in Charlottesville is related to his

association with a Soros-funded coup effort. The nature of Defendant Stranahan’s

implication reasonably indicates to his audience that he knows of the existence of

additional undisclosed defamatory facts that justify his false conclusions about Mr.

Gilmore and his association with Soros-funded coup efforts.

[MCADOO scrolls through Gilmore’s Twitter page]

STRANAHAN: Yeah, if you scroll…keep scrolling…this is the guy,


Brennan Gilmore, and if you scroll down, keep going, it’s not too far, you’ll
see the photo of the young woman…this is abs [sic]…when I saw this, uh,
I was shocked…[MCADOO continues to scroll through Gilmore’s Twitter

47
This collocation of two unrelated things or concepts in order to imply the existence of a nonexistent relationship
(or as a critic described it, to “connect unconnected dots”) is a method frequently used by Defendant Stranahan in
his journalism and taught by Defendant Stranahan at his Citizen Journalism School. Defendant Stranahan’s interest
in this method was inspired in part by the documentary film “Koyaanisqatsi,” which would compare time-lapsed
images of two unconnected things in a way that required the audience to make the connection between them.
Defendant Stranahan has described this method as allowing the audience to “fill in” the meaning and relationship
between two collocated images “that’s not there.” Kobi Libii, A Crash Course in Breitbart’s Conspiracy
Journalism, Pt. 2, THE OPPOSITION WITH JORDAN KLEPPER, http://www.cc.com/video-clips/d4aufk/the-opposition-

Defendants Stranahan and McAdoo deliberately play images of Ukrainian riots while discussing Mr. Gilmore to
convey to the audience a factual connection between Mr. Gilmore and what Stranahan claimed were United States-
sponsored and Soros-funded riots designed to achieve a coup.

feed] by the way, his bio, if you look at this guy’s bio, it says he’s with the
State Department, and the fact that he called her a ‘martyr’. . . I
[STRANAHAN looks knowingly at the camera, eyebrows raised, arm
raised, MCADOO nods comprehendingly, laughs] don’t know, but this is
clearly, the way she’s being used is she’s a martyr to the cause.

Stranahan and McAdoo’s body language falsely convey to the audience that Mr. Gilmore’s

tribute to a woman who died in the traumatizing attack that he and other bystanders

witnessed indicates that he was actually a knowing participant in a Soros-sponsored

conspiracy to stage violence and create a martyr—Heather Heyer—for their cause.

STRANAHAN: And let me point out what’s happening. They, uh, they win
no matter what they do. Are they trying to get a coup? I think clearly they
are. But if they can’t get a coup, they’ll settle for impeachment. And if they
can’t get impeachment, they’ll settle for smearing Trump and his supporters
so much that they’ll be able to elect another elitists. Does that make sense?

MCADOO: Absolutely.

85. The statements and visuals used by Stranahan and McAdoo throughout the video and in

the accompanying article imply an assertion of fact: that Mr. Gilmore’s coincidental

presence at and recording of Fields’ car attack was not coincidental, but was due to his

knowing participation in Soros- and government-staged violence in Charlottesville

designed to force a coup to oust President Trump. Defendants clearly intended their

audience to make this inference. These are assertions of fact that are objectively and

provably false. With his recording of Mr. Fields’ attack, Mr. Gilmore was not “trying to

get a coup”; he was not involved with an effort designed to lead to President Trump’s

impeachment; he was not trying to “smear Trump and his supporters” or “elect other

elitists.”

86. Taking the context of Defendant McAdoo’s article and video as a whole, they clearly assert

the factual conclusion, based on McAdoo and Stranahan’s investigative journalism, that

34

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 34 of 99 Pageid#: 439


Mr. Gilmore was directly involved in a latent civil war by participating in “Soros-funded”

events to lay “the foundation for a violent coup to take out Trump” and “achieve regime

change.” These assertions are false.

87. The video, bearing the same title as the InfoWars article, is hosted on The Alex Jones

Channel, a YouTube channel owned by Defendants Jones and InfoWars. The channel has

over 2 million subscribers. The video had been watched more than 312,000 times as of

January 2018.48 The description of the video reads:

As evidenced this weekend, a civil war is brewing in this country, laying


the foundation for a violent coup to take out Trump. Soros-funded NGO’s
have been able to achieve regime change in other countries by quite literally
teaming up with Neo-nazis and “moderate” terrorists. Now, investigative
reporter Lee Stranahan reveals the same players involved in the Ukraine
overthrow are working behind the scenes to oust President Trump.

with his 737,000 followers on Twitter.49

89. Defendants Jones, InfoWars, Stranahan, and McAdoo knew that their readers and viewers

would understand the clear factual meaning of their words and body language. Indeed, as

Defendant Stranahan says in the video, “everyone who watches InfoWars knows and

understands” the factual conclusions he implies.

90. Defendants Jones and Stranahan both hold themselves out to the public as fact-based

journalists. Defendant Jones describes himself on his Twitter profile as “Fighting for

Freedom & Liberty on the Frontlines of Truth Journalism.”50 Defendant InfoWars

describes itself as “The Frontline of Journalism;” indeed, the content on Defendant

InfoWars’ website is listed as “news” or “breaking news.” Defendant Stranahan states

unwaveringly in the above-referenced video, when talking about Mr. Gilmore, that he is a

“fact-based journalist,” and is represented as an “investigative reporter” in the YouTube

video’s description. Defendant McAdoo likewise represents that she is conducting an

interview of “investigative reporter” Stranahan who provides viewers with “real news.”

These representations all support the article and video’s general tenor as factual.

91. Defendant Jones’ followers, understanding Stranahan and McAdoo’s statements about the

Charlottesville attack and implications about Mr. Gilmore’s involvement to be assertions

of fact, quickly responded with comments such as “This was coordinated. Not

spontaneous”51 and “Obama Clinton coupd’tat in full bloom. We see Comey, lynch,

clapper, Brennan, Clintons, FBI, secret service, dnc, democrats in mix.”52

92. By insinuating that Mr. Gilmore knowingly participated in a Soros- and government-

staged violent riot and attack, Defendants Stranahan, McAdoo, Jones, InfoWars, and Free

Speech Systems falsely imply that Mr. Gilmore is a criminal conspirator and a party to

treason and murder. Such implications are false, defamatory, and malicious, and have

exposed Mr. Gilmore to hatred and contempt, as demonstrated by the threats and

harassment Mr. Gilmore experienced and continues to experience. These implications have

also deterred friends, acquaintances, and members of the community from associating with

Mr. Gilmore, and have imperiled his ability to continue serving as a State Department

employee, because Mr. Gilmore’s ability to continue to do diplomatic work is severely

hindered by the false claim that he participated in a secret operation to stage a violent attack

and even commit murder.

93. At no point prior to or after publishing the article and video did Defendants Stranahan,

McAdoo, Jones, or anyone from InfoWars or Free Speech Systems investigate the

outrageous, improbable, and false factual allegations and factual conclusions included

therein. They conducted no research of Mr. Gilmore beyond identifying a few, readily

available disparate facts from his biography.

94. At no point did Defendants Stranahan, McAdoo, Jones, or anyone from InfoWars or Free

Speech Systems reach out to Mr. Gilmore to confirm the statements or conclusions about

Mr. Gilmore. Nor did these Defendants reach out to any of the other individuals or

organizations named in the article and video for comment or confirmation of even the most

basic facts they allege. This failure to verify and investigate Defendants’ statements about

Mr. Gilmore is particularly egregious, as Stranahan himself asserts that “we can’t count on

the media” to question Mr. Gilmore’s presence in Charlottesville, all while Defendants

themselves failed to confirm their statements or conclusions prior to publishing them to the

public.

95. Defendants Stranahan, McAdoo, Jones, or anyone from InfoWars or Free Speech Systems

did not identify any human sources in the article or video for their information regarding

Mr. Gilmore other than from Mr. Gilmore’s Twitter page or media appearances, nor did

they update or correct any information about Mr. Gilmore after they published the

defamatory article and video. They did not have the facts alleged independently fact-

checked.

96. All of these failures demonstrate that Defendants Stranahan, McAdoo, and Jones

deliberately distorted the facts and their context and clearly departed from even the most

basic journalistic standards for factual reporting.

97. Defendants Stranahan, McAdoo, and Jones harbored animosity and ill will toward Soros-

funded regime changers and associated entities and individuals, including the so-called

“Deep State,”53 a perceived left-wing, organized bureaucratic resistance to the Trump

Administration, and to which they believe the State Department, the Democratic Party, and

George Soros are linked.54 Defendants also harbored animosity and ill will toward George

Soros and associated entities and individuals.55 Where Defendants identified Mr. Gilmore

as associated with George Soros and the “Deep State” and alleged that Mr. Gilmore was

involved in acts in Charlottesville directed toward regime change in the U.S., they harbored

ill will toward him, and intended to injure Mr. Gilmore and his reputation.

98. Defendants Stranahan, McAdoo, and Jones would not admit that the Charlottesville attack

was the act of a white supremacist. Instead, they utilized the preconceived and well-worn

narrative that George Soros, the State Department, and the Democratic Party were behind

the attack, in advance of any investigation (or lack thereof), and then consciously set up to

make their statements about Mr. Gilmore conform to this narrative. In addition to their

persistent animus toward George Soros, the “Deep State,” the State Department, and the

Democratic Party, Defendants Jones, InfoWars, and Free Speech Systems have also

published numerous similar articles and videos claiming that previous national tragedies

were “false flags” and “inside jobs” created by the government to push a leftist agenda.56

Defendant Stranahan has similarly published statements that the Charlottesville tragedy

was a part of a coordinated plan by the CIA and the left to undermine the Trump

administration through violent protests.57

99. Defendants Jones, InfoWars, Free Speech Systems, Stranahan, and McAdoo fit Mr.

Gilmore into this preexisting narrative. They used select facts from Mr. Gilmore’s

professional history to identify him as a State Department conspirator who organized the

Charlottesville riots and attack, and exploited Heather Heyer’s death as part of a coup effort

designed and funded by George Soros to destabilize the Trump administration. In short,

they cast Mr. Gilmore a central role in the narrative they have worked tirelessly to craft,

and they shoehorned that narrative to fit the events of the Charlottesville riots and attack.

100. Defendants did this despite entertaining serious doubts about the veracity of their claims,

which they demonstrated, at minimum, by directly disavowing the simplest (and the

factually accurate) explanation: that Mr. Gilmore’s witnessing of Fields’ attack was a

tragic and traumatizing coincidence, and that Mr. Gilmore’s employment with the State

Department had absolutely nothing to do with his presence in Charlottesville that day.

By twisting true facts about Mr. Gilmore’s employment history to fit their preconceived

narrative and ill will toward George Soros, the State Department, the “Deep State,” and

the Democratic Party, Defendants Stranahan, McAdoo, and Jones knowingly or

recklessly disregarded that their statements and their implications were false.

101. Defendants Jones and InfoWars continued to spread falsehoods about the Charlottesville

protest and attack in the days that followed. On August 14, 2017, Defendant Jones

published a post entitled George Soros Needs to be Charged and Arrested for Sedition and

Causing Charlottesville on his InfoWars website; in the accompanying video, he alleges

George Soros paid the Charlottesville protestors.58 Defendant Jones published several

additional videos in which he characterized the violence in Charlottesville as “staged” and

orchestrated by left-wing political operatives and “cut-outs.”59

102. While Defendant Jones later attempted to retract his claim that “Jewish actors” paid by

George Soros were responsible for the violence, he doubled down on his efforts to harass

and defame Mr. Gilmore in a video entitled Breaking: State Department/CIA Orchestrated

Charlottesville Tragedy, posted on YouTube on August 20, 2017,60 and on Defendant

InfoWars’ website on August 21, 2017.61 See Exhibit G. The title of the video itself is a

provably false factual assertion that the State Department and/or CIA orchestrated Fields’

attack against Heather Heyer and the other protesters.

103. The video’s title (“Breaking”) as well as Defendants Jones’, InfoWars, and Free Speech

Systems’ characterization of their own work as journalism predicated on “truth,” supports

that the general tenor of the video is factual. Jones, InfoWars, and Free Speech Systems’

description of the video on YouTube, stating that “Alex Jones breaks down shocking

revelations into the charlottesville riots. Who was behind this attack and why they did it!!”

also characterizes that their reporting is factual, and conveys to viewers the false and

defamatory assertion that the individuals discussed in the video, including Mr. Gilmore,

were “behind this attack.”

104. In the video, Defendant Jones asserts that the statements he made about Mr. Gilmore were

factual and researched:

I knew a lot of it, but I did deep research . . . I did research, and I confirmed
it all. They had known CIA and State Department officials in
Charlottesville, first tweeting, first being on MSNBC, CNN, NBC. The
mayor is involved. Everybody is a cut-out…62

They got State Department and high-level CIA. One guy is paid 320,000 a
year on the payroll of [George] Soros. He doesn’t just get money from
Soros, he personally is paid 320 a year, and then he is there—CIA, State
Department—and he is on the news. And when people pointed out who he
was, they took his name of the State Department website and stuff, but
Google has all the [screen] shots of it. I mean it’s like WOW, WOW—CIA?
Your senior guys? And you’re so stupid on TV, “oh I saw ‘m run over, I
saw the racists, I saw the white supremacists attack, oh I’m the guy being
interviewed first putting out the talking points “this is the downfall of
Trump this is the beginning, it shows that he…” He worked for Podesta
too, John Podesta. I’ll give you his name and stuff, we’re gonna play a video
of him on the news. They had him first on every news cast…” I’m just
witness standing here, huh yeah huh huh”...formerly worked for Obama,
Podesta, Hillary, the CIA...and when we have Pieczenik on and he says
they’re CIA...he has all the connections, he’s gonna say he thinks they are
and here’s the evidence to why he thinks so...he can’t legally tell you, but
there’s a civil war going on in the government so they’re going to tell you
[. . .]

105. After an advertisement for his InfoWars supplements, Jones’ video then cuts to a narration

of the alleged testimony of a Charlottesville police officer who “has come forward to

express his anger at being told to stand down” during the violence in Charlottesville, and

who claims that the violent crashes were “set up to further the agenda of the elites.” After

discussing the duplicitous involvement of Mayor Signer and his ties to Barack Obama and

John Podesta, the video goes on to claim that Fields was a “Hillary supporter” who was “in

receipt of funding by George Soros.” After the narrator says, “if you think that’s

outrageous, wait ‘til you hear about the other actors in this enormous set-up event…” The

screen cuts to a picture of Mr. Gilmore and his dog, and continues: “Brennan Gilmore was

on the scene, and the author of the first viral tweet about Charlottesville. He was later

interviewed by MSNBC. He was presented as an accidental witness, but who is he really?”

The screen then cuts to a screenshot of Google results about Mr. Gilmore’s State

Department assignments in Africa, with the narration stating that “Gilmore worked in

Africa as a State Department Foreign Office under Hillary Clinton. The New York Times

mentioned this coincidence and then later deleted it. Brennan Gilmore was also involved

with the Kony hoax in 2012, and he’s currently Chief of Staff for Tom Perriello, who’s

running for governor of Virginia, and received $380,000 from George Soros.” The screen

then cuts to pictures of Brennan Gilmore and George Soros placed side-by-side, so as to

emphasize the relationship between the two men, and the narration continues:

So the first man in the scene whose tweet went viral and who was later
interviewed on mainstream news as a witness just happened to be a State
Department insider with a long history of involvement in psy-ops? If you
think that isn’t fishy, how about this? Since the Charlottesville protest, and
his appearance in the media, his information was suddenly removed from
the State Department websites. The elites know we’re on to them and are
trying to cover their tracks.

106. The “high-level CIA” and “State Department guy” that Defendant Jones is referring to is

clearly Mr. Gilmore. Incredibly, Defendant Jones directly asserts that a campaign donation

by George Soros to Tom Perriello’s gubernatorial campaign was in reality a personal

payment to Mr. Gilmore. Such a provably false factual assertion is material and especially

malicious, as it implies that Mr. Gilmore has received money from Mr. Soros and was paid

by Soros to orchestrate the violence in Charlottesville.

107. Furthermore, Mr. Gilmore did not work for the campaigns or individual offices of President

Obama or Secretary Clinton. He did not work for John Podesta. He did not work for the

CIA. These factual allegations are demonstrably false, and especially in the context of Mr.

Jones and InfoWars’ other content, they are defamatory and have inspired hatred and

harassment from Jones’ and InfoWars’ audience.

108. The InfoWars video falsely states that since the Charlottesville protest and Mr. Gilmore’s

appearance on various media outlets, Mr. Gilmore’s information was removed from State

44

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 44 of 99 Pageid#: 449


Department websites because “the elites know we’re on to them and are trying to cover

their tracks.” In reality, Mr. Gilmore’s information regarding his previous post as Deputy

Chief of Mission at the U.S. Embassy in the Central African Republic was removed when

the Embassy rebuilt its website to reflect current staff information after Mr. Gilmore left

the Embassy in 2013. It was not removed in an attempt to cover up Mr. Gilmore’s presence

in Charlottesville, and certainly not to cover up his alleged role orchestrating the rioting

and violence there.

109. By stating that the violence in Charlottesville was staged by the State Department and CIA,

by falsely stating that Mr. Gilmore is part of the CIA, and by placing pictures of Mr.

Gilmore next to George Soros so as to associate Mr. Gilmore with a man who Jones claims

paid protesters to incite violence in Charlottesville, and who Jones frequently and viciously

attacks, demonizes, and accuses of committing atrocities, Defendant Jones was clearly

stating and implying an assertion of fact: that Mr. Gilmore participated in a State

Department/CIA operation to stage the violence and Fields’ car attack in Charlottesville.

This assertion of fact is false.

110. By calling Mr. Gilmore a “cut-out” in this context, Defendant Jones clearly asserted the

fact that Mr. Gilmore was involved in this treasonous act of espionage and deceit. This

assertion of fact is false.

111. Defendant Jones knew that his viewers and readers would clearly understand the factual

meaning he intended his words to carry (i.e. that Mr. Gilmore was involved in orchestrating

the violence in Charlottesville), and he intended for them to make this inference.

112. By citing the anonymous “testimony” of an alleged Charlottesville police officer,

Defendants Jones, InfoWars, and Free Speech Systems reasonably indicate to the audience

45

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 45 of 99 Pageid#: 450


that other undisclosed defamatory facts exist that would justify Mr. Jones’ conclusions,

such as this police officer’s firsthand observation of Mr. Gilmore in Charlottesville.

Furthermore, by airing the alleged “testimony” of a police officer, Defendants Jones,

InfoWars, and Free Speech Systems indicate to their audience that this source has been

verified and the veracity of his or her “testimony” independently checked. Neither is true.

Comments on Defendant Jones’ video left by his followers and other viewers, such as

“Brennan’s little jihadi running around playing parts. ISIS, Antifa, and SPLC’s White

Supremacists. All contracted labor for media mind control operations and it’s about time

they got exposed,” clearly demonstrate that his viewers took Jones’ statements as assertions

of facts that Mr. Jones “exposed.”

113. By insinuating that Mr. Gilmore was part of a State Department/CIA operation to stage the

violence and Fields’ car attack in Charlottesville, Defendants Jones, InfoWars, and Free

Speech Systems falsely brand Mr. Gilmore as a party to a criminal conspiracy and murder.

Such implications are malicious, and have exposed Mr. Gilmore to hatred and contempt,

as demonstrated by the threats and harassment Mr. Gilmore experienced and continues to

experience. These implications have also deterred friends, acquaintances, and members of

the community from associating with Mr. Gilmore, and have imperiled his ability to

continue serving as a State Department employee, because Mr. Gilmore’s ability to

continue to do diplomatic work is severely hindered by the false claim that he participated

in a secret operation to stage a violent attack and even commit murder.

114. At no point prior to or after publishing his video did Defendant Jones or anyone at InfoWars

or Free Speech Systems investigate the outrageous, improbable, and false factual

46

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 46 of 99 Pageid#: 451


allegations included in his video. Defendant Jones conducted no research beyond

identifying a few disparate facts and circumstances from Mr. Gilmore’s biography.

115. Defendant Jones did not reach out to Mr. Gilmore to confirm the content of his statements

or conclusions (nor did anyone at InfoWars or Free Speech Systems). Nor did they reach

out to any of the other individuals or organizations named in his video for comment or

confirmation of the relevant facts.

116. Defendants Jones, InfoWars, and Free Speech Systems did not reach out to Mr. Gilmore

for comment or to respond to the allegations included in the video at any time before or

after the video was published.

117. Neither InfoWars nor Free Speech Systems independently fact-checked any of the

allegations included in the video. Though Defendant Jones stated in his video that he “did

the research, and [] confirmed it all” there is reason to doubt the veracity of the sources he

consulted, and it is dubious what, if anything, the “Google…[screen] shots” revealed.

Defendant Jones never updated or corrected information about Mr. Gilmore after releasing

this defamatory video.

118. All of these failures demonstrate that Defendant Jones, InfoWars, and Free Speech Systems

deliberately distorted the facts and their context, and departed from even the most basic

journalistic standards of accuracy for factual reporting.

119. As detailed elsewhere in this Complaint, Defendant Jones harbored animosity and ill will

toward the so called “Deep State,” Hillary Clinton, and George Soros. Where Defendant

Jones identified Mr. Gilmore as being a member of the “Deep State,” and identified

connections between Mr. Gilmore and Soros and Clinton, Defendant Jones intended to

injure Mr. Gilmore and his reputation.

47

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 47 of 99 Pageid#: 452


120. Defendant Jones would not admit that the Charlottesville attack was the act of a white

supremacist. Instead, Jones utilized this preconceived and well-worn yet false narrative

that the “Deep State” and George Soros were behind the attack and that Mr. Gilmore was

a “high level CIA” and “State Department guy” who was a “cut-out” involved in the attack,

all in advance of any investigation. As detailed elsewhere in this Complaint, Defendants

Jones, InfoWars, and Free Speech Systems have previously published similar statements

claiming that other national tragedies were hoaxes created by the government to push a

leftist agenda.

121. Defendant Jones used select facts and false statements about Mr. Gilmore’s professional

history available on Facebook, Twitter, and other websites, as well as the alleged,

unverified, and false “testimony” of an anonymous Charlottesville police officer they

found on the internet and twisted these elements to fit their preconceived narrative: that

Charlottesville was a Soros-funded false-flag operation, and Mr. Gilmore was a central

party to that operation. In fact, Defendant Jones has doubled down on his false accusations

to fit this narrative by falsely claiming that this lawsuit and Mr. Gilmore’s counsel, the

Georgetown Law Civil Rights Clinic, is also “backed” by George Soros.63

122. Defendant Jones ran this video despite entertaining serious doubts about the veracity of the

claims it included. This was demonstrated, at minimum, by Jones disavowing the simplest

(and factually accurate) explanation: that Mr. Gilmore’s witnessing of Fields’ attack was a

tragic and traumatizing coincidence, and that Mr. Gilmore’s employment history had

nothing to do with his presence in Charlottesville at that time. By twisting true facts about

Brennan’s employment history to fit a preconceived narrative and their ill will toward the

“Deep State,” Hillary Clinton, and George Soros, Defendants Jones, InfoWars, and Free

Speech Systems knowingly or recklessly disregarded that Jones’ statements and their

implications were false.

123. Defendant Jones’ video had been watched over 34,000 times as of January 2018. Defendant

InfoWars’ website is viewed approximately 40 million times every month, and the site

consistently ranks among the most popular websites in the United States. InfoWars bills

and presents itself as a news media outlet.

124. In addition to soliciting advertisers for its website, InfoWars funds its work by the sale of

various dietary supplements in its online store, which are featured prominently in each

video and on banner ads that appear in each post. Recent estimates of revenue received

from online sales suggest that business is good: Defendant Jones stated in 2013 that the

online store grossed an average of $9 million in sales annually. Estimates in 2017 indicate

that sales could now be as high as $12.5 million annually.64

Publication by Derrick Wilburn, Allen West, Michele Hickford, and Words-N-Ideas, LLC

125. On August 19, 2017, Defendants West, Hickford, Word-N-Ideas, LLC, and Wilburn

published “BOMBSHELL: New Evidence Suggests Charlottesville Was a Complete SET-

UP” on his website.65 See Exhibit H. The title of the article implies that the statements

contained therein are truthful and based on evidence.

126. The article, authored by Defendant Wilburn, cites and republishes the alleged statement

of an anonymous Charlottesville police officer (the same anonymous police statement

containing the same false and defamatory statements published by Defendants Jones,

InfoWars, and Free Speech Systems in their video entitled “Breaking: State

Department/CIA Orchestrated Charlottesville Tragedy”):

If you think that is suspicious, wait until you learn about the other actors in
this enormous set-up event. Brennan Gilmore was the first man “on the
scene” and was the author of the first viral tweet about Charlottesville. He
was later interviewed by MSNBC. He was presented as an accidental
witness. But who is he really? Gilmore worked in Africa as a State
Department foreign officer under Hillary Clinton. The New York Times
mentioned this “coincidence” – and then later deleted it. Brennan Gilmore
was also involved with the Kony hoax in 2012, and he is currently Chief of
Staff for Tom Perriello, who is running for Governor of Virginia and
received $380k from George Soros. So the first man on the scene, whose
tweet went viral, and who was later interviewed on mainstream news as a
witness, just happened to be a State Department insider with a long history
of involvement in psy-ops? If you think this isn’t fishy, how about this –
since the Charlottesville protests and his appearance in the media, his
information was suddenly removed from State Department websites.”

As detailed elsewhere in the Complaint, the assertion of fact that Mr. Gilmore’s

“information was suddenly removed from State Department websites” after the

Charlottesville protests is false.

127. Wilburn then adds:

We need to clarify that these are early accounts and as yet unverified, but if
true this is very, very serious stuff. It points directly to the reality of the
“deep state” and more importantly to the lengths that the
Soros/Clinton/Obama one-world government cabal will go in order to
realize their desires for “fundamental transformation.”

128. However, despite harboring doubts about the truth of the articles’ claims, and instead of

verifying that these “early accounts” were in fact true prior to publication, Defendants

Wilburn, West, Hickford, and Words-N-Ideas published the article. Defendants did not

contact Mr. Gilmore, the anonymous Charlottesville police officer who allegedly provided

the quoted statement, or any other individuals or organizations mentioned in the article to

verify or otherwise comment. Instead, Defendants Wilburn, West, Hickford, and Words-

50

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 50 of 99 Pageid#: 455


N-Ideas departed from even the most basic journalistic standards of research and

verification because they wanted to push their preconceived narrative: the existence of the

“deep state” and “the lengths that the Soros/Clinton/Obama one-world government cabal

will go in order to realize their desires for ‘fundamental transformation.’”

129. Defendants Wilburn, West, Hickford, and Words-N-Ideas’ article directly and falsely

asserts that Mr. Gilmore is an “actor[] in this enormous set-up event.” This statement is

demonstrably false.

130. By further characterizing Mr. Gilmore’s presence during Fields’ attack as “fishy” and

“suspicious,” and by falsely stating that Mr. Gilmore’s information was “suddenly”

removed from State Department websites to cover up Mr. Gilmore’s presence in

Charlottesville, Defendants Wilburn, West, Hickford, and Words-N-Ideas imply a clear

assertion of fact: that Mr. Gilmore participated in a “deep state”-“Soros/one-world

government cabal” conspiracy to stage the violence in Charlottesville. This statement of

fact can be objectively verified as false.

131. By citing the anonymous “testimony” of an alleged Charlottesville police officer,

Defendants West, Wilburn, Hickford, and Words-N-Ideas reasonably indicate to readers

that other undisclosed defamatory facts exist that would justify the conclusion that Mr.

Gilmore was involved in orchestrating the violence in Charlottesville, such as this police

officer’s firsthand observation of Mr. Gilmore in Charlottesville. Furthermore, by

republishing the alleged “testimony” of a police officer, Defendants West, Wilburn,

Hickford, and Words-N-Ideas indicate to their audience that this source has been verified

and the veracity of his or her “testimony” independently checked. Neither is true.

51

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 51 of 99 Pageid#: 456


132. Defendants Wilburn, West, Hickford, and Words-N-Ideas knew that their readers would

understand the factual meaning that they intended their words to carry, and they intended

for their readers to make such an inference.

133. Indeed, Defendants Wilburn, West, Hickford, and Words-N-Ideas’ statements were

interpreted by readers as clear statements of fact. When Defendant West shared a link to

the article with his 727,000 followers on Twitter,66 those followers responded with

comments such as “[t]he shadow government has a mission to destroy America as we know

it,”67 and “[t]his whole thing stinks to high heaven. A federal investigation is needed, not

some internal self-serving coverup.”68

134. By stating and implying that Mr. Gilmore participated in a “deep state”-Soros conspiracy

to stage the violence in Charlottesville, Defendants Wilburn, West, Hickford, and Words-

N-Ideas falsely brand Mr. Gilmore as a criminal conspirator and a party to murder. Such

implications are false and malicious, and have exposed Mr. Gilmore to hatred and

contempt, as demonstrated by the threats and harassment Mr. Gilmore experienced and

continues to experience. These implications have also deterred friends, acquaintances, and

members of the community from associating with Mr. Gilmore, and have imperiled his

ability to continue serving as a State Department employee, because Mr. Gilmore’s ability

to continue to do diplomatic work is severely hindered by the false claim that he

participated in a secret operation to stage a violent attack and commit murder.

135. At no point prior to or after publishing this article did Defendants Wilburn, West, Hickford,

and Words-N-Ideas or anyone associated with AllenWest.com investigate the outrageous,

improbable, and false factual allegations included in this article. Defendant Wilburn

conducted no research beyond identifying a few disparate facts and circumstances from

Mr. Gilmore’s biography.

136. As admitted in their article, Defendants Wilburn, West, Hickford, and Words-N-Ideas

failed to investigate by reaching out to Mr. Gilmore or other witnesses of the event to

confirm the accuracy of the article’s statements or conclusions (nor did anyone associated

with AllenWest.com). Nor did they reach out to any of the other individuals or

organizations named in his video for comment or confirmation of the relevant facts.

137. Defendants Wilburn, West, Hickford, and Words-N-Ideas did not reach out to Mr. Gilmore

for comment or to respond to the allegations included in the article.

138. Defendant Wilburn did not identify any sources in the article relevant to the accusations

about Mr. Gilmore other than an anonymous police statement, and no one associated with

AllenWest.com independently fact-checked any of the allegations included in the article.

139. Defendants Wilburn, West, Hickford, and Words-N-Ideas never updated or corrected

information about Mr. Gilmore after releasing this defamatory article.

140. All of these failures demonstrate that Wilburn and all Defendants associated with

AllenWest.com deliberately distorted the facts and their context, and departed from even

the most basic journalistic standards of accuracy for factual reporting.

141. Defendant Wilburn harbored animosity and ill will toward the so-called “deep state,” or

“one-world government cabal,” terms used to capture a perceived left-wing, organized

resistance to the Trump Administration as well as a perceived authoritarian regime pursued

53

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 53 of 99 Pageid#: 458


by wealthy globalist elites. Defendant Wilburn also harbored animosity and ill will toward

George Soros. Because Wilburn identified Mr. Gilmore as being a member of the “deep

state,” and “one-world government cabal,” and identified connections between Mr.

Gilmore and Soros, Wilburn harbored ill will toward Mr. Gilmore and intended to injure

him.

142. Defendant Wilburn would not admit that the Charlottesville attack was the act of a white

supremacist. Instead, Wilburn utilized this preconceived and well-worn narrative that the

“deep state,” “one-world government cabal,” and George Soros were behind the attack.

143. Defendant Wilburn used select facts, misrepresented information about Mr. Gilmore’s

professional history, relied on the alleged, unverified and false “testimony” of an

anonymous Charlottesville police officer he found on the internet, and twisted these

elements to fit his preconceived narrative: that Charlottesville was a Soros-funded false-

flag operation, and Mr. Gilmore was a central party to that operation. By twisting and

misrepresenting information about Mr. Gilmore to fit his preconceived narrative, the

Defendants associated with AllenWest.com knowingly or recklessly disregarded that their

statements and implications were false.

144. Defendant Wilburn and the Defendants associated with AllenWest.com ran this article

despite entertaining serious doubts about the veracity of its claims. This was demonstrated,

at minimum, by Defendant Wilburn noting that the factual claims he makes are

“unverified.” Nevertheless, Wilburn disavowed the simplest (and factually accurate)

explanation: that Mr. Gilmore’s witnessing of Fields’ attack was a tragic and traumatizing

coincidence, and that Mr. Gilmore’s employment history had nothing to do with his

presence in Charlottesville at that time. By twisting true facts about Mr. Gilmore’s

54

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 54 of 99 Pageid#: 459


employment history to fit a preconceived narrative and their ill will toward the “deep state”

or “one-world government cabal” and George Soros, Defendants Wilburn, West, Hickford,

and Words-N-Ideas knowingly or recklessly disregarded that Wilburn’s statements and

their implications were false.

Cumulative Effect of Defendants’ Publications

145. There can be no doubt that all Defendants collectively reached hundreds of thousands of

viewers and readers with their publications. Their paranoid fantasies have no basis

whatsoever in fact and are demonstrably false: while Mr. Gilmore was and continues to be

a State Department employee (currently on unpaid leave), was stationed in the Central

African Republic, and worked for Tom Perriello’s campaign, he has at no time been

employed by the CIA or any other intelligence agency, nor has he been employed by or

received payment from George Soros directly. He attended the protest against the “Unite

the Right” rally as a private citizen on his personal time because he opposes racism and

bigotry, not in any sort of capacity as a government employee, because he was sent there

by the State Department or George Soros, or because he was participating in any “Deep

State” “psy-op” or any sort of operation to unseat President Trump.

146. In the months leading up to the rally and counter-protest, Mr. Gilmore had been regularly

confronted with hateful right-wing memes on social media platforms that advocated using

a car as a weapon against protestors. The following meme is similar to the types of memes

Mr. Gilmore encountered:69

55

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 55 of 99 Pageid#: 460


147. When he noticed that a driver of a car was behaving erratically and driving rapidly towards

a group of protesters, Mr. Gilmore was worried that someone might have taken these

perverse suggestions to heart. Tragically, Mr. Gilmore’s fears proved well-founded, as Mr.

Fields—who was driving the car that drew Mr. Gilmore’s attention—killed one protestor,

Heather Heyer, and injured many others.

148. Mr. Gilmore’s concern for the safety of other protesters and his entirely reasonable sense

of civic duty to share with the world what he witnessed in Charlottesville was sufficient to

put him in Defendants’ crosshairs. The Defendants crafted their delusional narrative about

him from the barest outline of Mr. Gilmore’s resume, which he freely shares on social

media. Mr. Gilmore was an attractive target when Defendants were looking for a scapegoat

to blame both sides for the violence that occurred that day.

149. Defendants thrust Mr. Gilmore—an innocent bystander with no desire for public

attention—into the public eye by intentionally publishing baseless allegations about his

professional life and goals. As detailed above, Defendants’ intentional and reckless

disregard for the truth of their allegations about Mr. Gilmore directly and foreseeably

56

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 56 of 99 Pageid#: 461


caused the harassment and threats to his personal safety that followed, as well as Mr.

Gilmore’s severe emotional distress.

D. Threats and Harassment

150. As soon as the first publications alleging that Mr. Gilmore was a “Deep State operative”

who helped orchestrate the violence in Charlottesville appeared online, Mr. Gilmore

became the subject of a barrage of harassing and threatening messages that made him fear

for his personal safety as well as the safety of his family members. There can be no doubt

that Defendants’ defamatory publications about Mr. Gilmore directly and proximately led

to this harassment. To this day, Mr. Gilmore continues to experience the effects of the

hatred and violence directed at him as a direct and foreseeable result of Defendants’

reckless decisions to publish these baseless allegations about him.

57

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 57 of 99 Pageid#: 462


151. Defendant Creighton published his article and video about Mr. Gilmore in the early hours

of August 13, 2017. That very same day, anonymous users of the internet forum 8chan

shared Mr. Gilmore’s address of record:

152. The Lexington, Virginia address posted by these users is that of Mr. Gilmore’s parents,

which Mr. Gilmore used during his overseas postings with the Foreign Service. He resided

there periodically during the summer of 2017 while on vacation and in between permanent

residences.

58

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 58 of 99 Pageid#: 463


153. Hours later, threatening and harassing messages on Twitter directed at Mr. Gilmore started

rolling in. Some of these messages were an explicit and direct response to Defendant

Creighton’s publication:70 Other Twitter users threatening Mr. Gilmore used language that

closely parses the language used in the article published by Defendant Hoft, who referred

to Mr. Gilmore as a “globalist shill,” thereby leaving little doubt about what incited them

to seek out Mr. Gilmore:71

154. In light of the threats and harassment directed at him and the publication of their home

address by posters on 8chan, Mr. Gilmore contacted his parents to ensure that they were

taking appropriate measures to protect themselves. Mr. Gilmore’s parents live within a

short drive of Charlottesville, and Mr. Gilmore was particularly concerned for their safety

given the number of neo-Nazis who had descended on the region for the “Unite the Right”

rally, with demonstrated violent tendencies. Acting on the advice of the FBI, he instructed

his parents to reach out to the local police department, which they did. Alarmed by what

they learned, local law enforcement devised a scheme to detect any unusual car traffic in

the neighborhood. In addition, Mr. Gilmore’s brother-in-law, who is an active-duty service

member, offered to spend the night with Mr. Gilmore’s parents and bring the handgun he

keeps in his home with him for protection.

155. Fearing for his own safety in addition to that of his parents, Mr. Gilmore also contacted the

FBI and the State Department’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security. Mr. Gilmore spent hours

discussing protective measures for himself and his family members with various law

enforcement agencies in the days that followed.

156. Egged on by the campaign of vile lies that Defendants waged against him, Twitter and

YouTube users continued to threaten and harass Mr. Gilmore, telling him he is a “George

Soros HACK” and that “word is out on [him],” they “have [his] number,” he is “going

straight to hell” and they hope that his “family feels the violence [he] protect[s]”72, and

implicitly threatening him with violence by referencing the Comet Ping Pong pizzeria

157. There were dozens of attempts to log-in to Mr. Gilmore’s various online accounts,

including email and social media in the days that followed publication of the conspiracy

theories.

158. Mr. Gilmore and his family were not only threatened online. On Monday, August 14,

2017, Mr. Gilmore was physically accosted on the street in Charlottesville by an unknown

person after concluding a brief television interview describing what he witnessed the day

before. The unknown person aggressively questioned Mr. Gilmore about his ties to

Perriello, Charlottesville Mayor Mike Signer, and his work overseas, all details that were

mentioned by Defendants Creighton and Hoft in their articles about Mr. Gilmore.

159. In addition, shortly after the Defendants started their defamatory campaign against him,

Mr. Gilmore received a letter at his parents’ address with a suspicious powdery residue and

a letter explaining why Mr. Gilmore would “burn in hell.” The receipt of this letter led to

an additional visit to the property by local police, and although the powdery residue turned

out to be harmless upon analysis, the letter remains in the possession of the State

Department Diplomatic Security Office.

160. The threats and harassment have continued well past August 2017. On February 14, 2018,

Twitter user “SonofNewo” retweeted a post about an upcoming performance of Mr.

Gilmore’s band, adding the caption “Will Brennan Gilmore play his tunes from the middle

of 4th Street?”74

https://twitter.com/SonofNewo/status/963737755657400320. The “4th Street” reference alludes to Fourth Street in
Charlottesville, which intersects with Water Street East. Mr. Gilmore’s video of the Charlottesville attack shows
Fields speeding down Fourth Street before ramming into the crowd at the intersection with Water Street.

161. Two minutes later, SonofNewo posted, “I dunno, should I go check out this concert? Leave

your thoughts below!”75

162. SonofNewo’s followers encouraged him to attend, with one user, alias “O’Neil,” tweeting

“Go INCOG[nito].”76 As SonofNewo had previously posted videos on his YouTube

channel that appeared to echo Defendants’ lies about Mr. Gilmore, SonofNewo’s tweets

caused Mr. Gilmore to fear for his safety and for the safety of his band mates and concert-

goers. He contacted the concert venue and alerted them to the perceived threats, and the

venue security team in turn contacted the police.

163. After SonofNewo’s tweets and videos, Mr. Gilmore noticed an uptick in online threats and

harassment. For example, in response to a scientific article Mr. Gilmore shared in a public

Facebook post on February 19, 2018, an individual named Henry Fowler (not known to

Mr. Gilmore) left the following post threatening Mr. Gilmore’s life:

The Rivanna River is a river in Virginia that runs near Mr. Gilmore’s house. The clear

implication and tone of Fowler’s post was to threaten Mr. Gilmore and to make him fear

for his life.

E. The Defendants Knew or Should Have Known that the Harassment Would Ensue

164. All Defendants knew or should have known from recent, publicized experiences that their

defamatory publications about Mr. Gilmore would incite harassing and threatening

messages against him in Virginia. Defendants’ audiences routinely answer allegations of

false-flag operations with violence and anger.

165. In the fall of 2016, Defendants Jones and InfoWars amplified a false conspiracy theory

claiming that Comet Ping Pong, a pizzeria based in Washington, D.C., was involved in an

underground child sex ring run by then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.77 After

Defendants published these false statements, an InfoWars reader from North Carolina

drove to the pizzeria, entered the restaurant brandishing a rifle, a handgun, and a knife, and

fired his rifle inside the restaurant at least one time before pointing it at an employee. The

threats and online abuse that followed targeted not only the owner and employees of Comet

Ping Pong, but also neighboring businesses that internet users thought were implicated in

the conspiracy.78

166. After InfoWars reporter Owen Shroyer published a podcast tying East Side Pies, a chain of

pizza restaurants in Austin, Texas, to the baseless conspiracy theory, those owners were

also targeted by phone threats, harassment, and vandalism of one of its delivery trucks with

a vulgar epithet.79 The circumstances surrounding these events were widely publicized in

national news,80 and Defendant Jones acknowledged and apologized for his role in

promoting the conspiracy theory.81

167. After the tragic December 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in

Newtown, Connecticut, Defendants Jones, InfoWars, and Creighton published false

statements claiming that the mass shooting did not actually happen and was a government-

staged “inside job” designed to bolster support for gun control measures. By publishing

and promoting these conspiracy theories, these Defendants incited harassment and threats

by their followers toward the family members of the shooting victims. As a result, a woman

was criminally sentenced for transmitting death threats through interstate communications

toward the father of a 6-year-old child who was murdered in the shooting.82

168. In 2014, a self-proclaimed Sandy Hook “truther” was sentenced for harassing the sister of

a teacher who was killed while hiding her first-grade students in a classroom closet during

the massacre. 83 This harassment and subsequent convictions have been detailed in multiple

national publications.

169. More recently, Defendants Jones and InfoWars published false claims about the 2017 mass

shooting in Las Vegas that left fifty-nine people dead and hundreds more injured.

Referring to the racist hoax concerning the former president’s birth certificate that he has

helped propagate, Defendant Jones claimed that “Vegas is as phony as a three-dollar bill

or as Obama’s birth certificate.”84 Soon thereafter, survivors of the massacre became

victims of a predictable wave of online threats and harassment. One survivor of a bullet

wound to the head received messages such as “[y]ou are a lying piece of shit and I hope

someone truly shoots you in the head.” Still another survivor was told, “[y]our soul is

disgusting and dark! You will pay for the consequences!”85

170. Further still, following the August 2017 mass shooting at a church Sutherland Springs,

Texas that left twenty-seven people dead, Defendant Jones shared with his followers his

theory that the tragedy was “part of the Antifa revolution against Christians and

conservatives or a Isis op [sic],” and published these false claims on InfoWars.86 Defendant

Creighton also made a series of false claims about the mass shooting, implying that the

United States government used the shooter, Devin Patrick Kelley, as a “patsy” to bolster

support for gun control.87

171. These and other conspiracy theories surrounding the Sutherland Springs attack recently led

the church’s pastor, whose 14-year-old daughter was killed in the shooting, to become the

target of gruesome threats of violence. On March 5, 2018, two individuals showed up to

the church and “continually yelled and screamed and hollered and told [him] he was gonna

hang [him] from a tree, and pee on [him] while [he is] hanging.”88

172. Around April 2017, Defendants Jones and InfoWars made a series of false statements

against Chobani, LLC (“Chobani”). In a video post featuring Defendant McAdoo, among

others, these defendants claimed that the yogurt company’s practice of hiring migrant

workers and refugees brought “migrant rapists” and disease to the areas surrounding its

Idaho factory.89 Defendant Stranahan similarly authored an article for Breitbart News

alleging that Chobani was responsible for local crimes committed by Muslim refugees.90

These false statements harmed both employees and other members of the Idaho community

associated with Chobani. Ultimately, Defendant Jones apologized for and retracted his

inflammatory comments. The circumstances surrounding these events were widely

publicized on national news.91

173. As recently as this month, Defendants Jones, InfoWars, and Hoft have promoted conspiracy

theories about the February 14, 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School

in Parkland, Florida, which claimed the lives of 17 students and educators. These

defendants have endeavored to discredit student survivors who have, in the wake of the

massacre, advocated for action by legislators and politicians to curb gun violence.92

174. Defendants Jones and InfoWars promote violence against their political enemies. On

March 30, 2017, Defendant Jones posted an online clip in which he called a Democratic

congressman a “son of a bitch” and a “goddamn fucker” among other pejoratives and

threatened to “beat” the congressman’s “goddamn ass.” He spent the summer of 2017

regularly telling followers of InfoWars and his radio show that the political left was on the

verge of starting a civil war, and has encouraged violence against “leftists” and Democrats

in response. In a June 23, 2017 broadcast, less than two months before the Charlottesville

rally and attack, Defendant Jones told his followers that “we have to start getting ready for

insurrection and civil war because they’re really pushing it.”93

175. A regular listener or reader of InfoWars would clearly understand that when Alex Jones

identifies an individual such as Mr. Gilmore as linked to George Soros and central to the

orchestration of the Charlottesville attack, that individual should be the object of scorn,

harassment, and even violence. Indeed, this is what Mr. Jones intends to communicate to

his audience.

176. Similarly, Defendant Hoft has an extensive history of inciting harassment by spreading

misinformation through his website Gateway Pundit. To take but one example: on or

around January 11, 2017, Gateway Pundit falsely claimed that an editor for the Washington

Post was secretly taking photos of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s notes during his

confirmation hearing. The editor has been subjected to intense online harassment as a

result of this publication. She has since chronicled her experiences in an online article for

the paper.94

177. In light of the aforementioned highly publicized events, all Defendants knew or should

have known that their defamatory statements about Mr. Gilmore would incite their reading

and viewing audiences to direct further harm toward Mr. Gilmore in Virginia. The

harassment, threats and intimidation that ensued were entirely foreseeable and caused by

Defendants’ lies about Mr. Gilmore.

F. Defendants’ Defamatory Publications Harmed Mr. Gilmore Personally and


Professionally

178. Before Defendants’ attacks, Mr. Gilmore earned the reputation of being a patriotic and

honorable citizen who had dedicated over 15 years of service to the United States.

However, the publication of false and defamatory information about Mr. Gilmore by

Defendants has caused irreparable damage to this reputation and threatened his physical

and emotional well-being. In short, these lies have deprived him of his livelihood and life’s

passion. Moreover, Defendants’ actions have punished Mr. Gilmore for participating in

one of the essential cornerstones of our democracy: civic engagement.

Gilmore

shootings, and “migrant rapists” working for Chobani all translated to real-world harm.

Likewise, it was foreseeable that publishing lies about Mr. Gilmore would threaten bodily

harm to him and his family. By good fortune and swift precaution to alert the police and

authorities of potential threats against him, Mr. Gilmore was able to avoid actual physical

harm. But it was not for lack of trying: the unknown chemical substance mailed to his home

and the sudden approach of a hostile stranger on the street foreshadow the connection to

some of the deeper threats lurking online, many of which materialize into physical

danger.95 As evidenced by the death threat he received in February, Mr. Gilmore continues

to receive threats of physical harm because of the lies that Defendants spread about him.

This causes Mr. Gilmore to live in constant fear for bodily harm or even death.

ii. Defendants’ Defamatory Publications Have Caused Emotional Harm to Mr.


Gilmore

180. Mr. Gilmore lives in fear for his life because of Defendants’ reckless publications. He has

experienced severe emotional distress as a result of Defendants’ deliberate campaign to

falsely portray him as a “CIA asset” and a “Deep State shill” (among other similar

characterizations) engaged in a criminal conspiracy against the United States. Since these

articles were first published, Mr. Gilmore has had to rely on the assistance of a therapist to

address the substantial emotional stress of coping with the stress caused by Defendants’

false and defamatory statements and the resulting reputational harm, as well as the death

threats and harassment arising out of Defendants’ actions. Mr. Gilmore lives in constant,

ongoing fear of vile online and in-person harassment of himself and his family.

181. As a result of this ongoing distress, Mr. Gilmore has also been diagnosed with Central

https://www.theverge.com/2017/1/27/14412594/fbi-gamergate-harassment-threat-investigation-records-release
(detailing threats against those targeted in the Gamergate controversy, including multiple shooting threats).
72

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 72 of 99 Pageid#: 477


Serous Chorioretinopathy. Central Serous Chorioretinopathy is a disease in which a serous

detachment of the neurosensory retina occurs over an area of leakage from the

choriocapillaris through the retinal pigment epithelium. This disease causes the loss of

vision in Mr. Gilmore’s right eye.

182. Mr. Gilmore suffers from this severe condition as a direct result of the stress he endures

due to Defendants’ false and defamatory publications, their ongoing press offensive against

him, and the threats and harassment those publications have inspired. This physical

condition makes it difficult and sometimes impossible for him to work and conduct

regular, daily activities.

183. Mr. Gilmore also suffers from depression, exacerbated by the stress he’s experienced due

to Defendants’ false and defamatory publications, their ongoing press offensive against

him, as well as from the threats and harassment caused by Defendants’ defamatory

statements. His depressive symptoms, including irritability, difficulty concentrating, and

loss of sleep, have significantly impaired his ability to perform work responsibilities and

attend social events.

184. The presence and content of Defendants’ widely-available articles and videos have not only

jeopardized Mr. Gilmore’s physical and mental health, they have undermined his sense of

safety and well-being. Following Defendants’ publications and their audience’s

foreseeable reaction, Mr. Gilmore keeps alert of those around him when he goes out and

constantly monitors additional threats as they are directed at him or members of his family.

Mr. Gilmore now limits his social engagements or going out in public, as he fears engaging

with people who he does not already know and trust, and engages less on social media.

185. Defendants’ frequent and incendiary publications about Mr. Gilmore have even polluted a

73

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 73 of 99 Pageid#: 478


simple Google search for his name. As a result, Mr. Gilmore risks losing potential friends

or romantic interests if an acquaintance finds any one of Defendants’ defamatory articles.

At least one potential romantic partner cut off contact with Mr. Gilmore because of

Defendants’ statements.

186. Mr. Gilmore continues to live with the burden of knowing Defendants’ false portrayal of

him masquerades online as truth, and those who come upon it may prejudge him based on

Defendants’ lies. The unpredictability of additional online threats and harassment, threats

of physical harm, the stress and anxiety caused by Mr. Gilmore’s concerns for his family

and the threats and harassment they experienced, and publication of additional false and

defamatory content by Defendants continues to this day, all of which exacerbate and

perpetuate the distress Mr. Gilmore experiences.

iii. Defendants’ Claims Have Done Mr. Gilmore Irreparable Professional Harm

187. As an entrepreneur, Mr. Gilmore must rely on maintaining a spotless reputation of

credibility and integrity to achieve his professional aims. In his current role as a business

consultant for Wize Solutions, a small business venture focused on rural workforce

development, Mr. Gilmore will not be able to continue in his current leadership capacity if

he cannot count on the reputation he has worked so hard to develop. The ready presence

of false information that paints him in such a negative light results in severe skepticism

among those interested in working with the company. Mr. Gilmore has been consistently

questioned by professional contacts about the derogatory information published on

Defendants’ websites, and other potential clients and partners have decided not to pursue

business relationships with Wize after reviewing said information. Thus, Mr. Gilmore may

need to remove himself altogether from the company’s client-facing work out of a duty not

74

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 74 of 99 Pageid#: 479


to harm the fledgling business.

188. Although Mr. Gilmore has dedicated his career to the service of the United States’

diplomatic missions abroad, his illustrious diplomatic career is irreparably damaged

because of Defendants’ reckless acts. When Mr. Gilmore returns to the State Department,

it will be exceedingly difficult for him to serve as a diplomat to another nation, as foreign

officials will certainly research his background and find the shocking and threatening

information published by Defendants, including allegations that he is not actually a

diplomat but a covert CIA agent.

189. Moreover, several high-profile Trump Administration officials and members of Congress

have expressed their sincere belief in the conspiracy theories promoted by Defendants and

suggested that the government needs to be purged of so-called “Deep State” actors.96 At

the heart of Defendants’ lies about Mr. Gilmore is the allegation that he is exactly the type

of “Deep State” actor that should be purged from government. If Mr. Gilmore is able to

return to the State Department, it is likely that government officials who have endorsed

Defendants’ lies will work to harm Mr. Gilmore’s career or oust him from government

service entirely.

190. In the days immediately following the “Unite the Right” rally, dozens of people publicly

called for Attorney General Sessions, President Trump, and Fox News Host Sean Hannity

to open an investigation into Mr. Gilmore’s alleged role in the attack.

191. U.S. Representative Louis Gohmert called for a Department of Justice investigation into

Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, Charlottesville Mayor Michael Signer, and rally

organizer Jason Kessler for their alleged roles in the violent clashes that took place at the

96
See infra ¶ 193.

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 75 of 99 Pageid#: 480


rally.97

192. Republican Congressman Paul Gosar recently told Vice News that he believes that George

Soros—who Defendants claim paid Mr. Gilmore to attend the rally—was the behind-the-

scenes organizer of the “Unite the Right” rally.98

193. In December 2017, Republican Congressman Francis Rooney called for a purge of FBI

and Justice Department agents whom he believed were working for the “Deep State.”99

194. In early February of this year, President Trump authorized the release of the so-called

“Nunes Memo,” published by the Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee

alleging that the FBI abused its power in surveilling Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential

campaign.100

195. Conspiracy theorists, including Defendant Jones, have capitalized on this memo to bolster

their theory that there is a “Deep State” conspiracy to undermine President Trump and his

197. Indeed, public servants who have been labeled “Deep State” actors have already been

forced out of long careers in government service.103

198. President Trump has expressed his belief in conspiracy theories pushed by InfoWars on

several occasions,104 and allegedly called Jones to thank him for helping him win the 2016

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 78 of 99 Pageid#: 483


Gilmore’s career prospects have been seriously injured by the defamatory falsehoods about

him that Defendants published.

203. Mr. Gilmore will not be able to continue engaging in diplomatic relationships on behalf of

the United States when his loyalty to his country has been so profoundly questioned by the

wealth of public information propagated and promoted by Defendants, emboldened by the

support for their theories and validation of their outlets by the current Presidential

Administration.

V. CAUSES OF ACTION

COUNT I: DEFAMATION
(Against All Defendants)

204. Mr. Gilmore re-alleges and incorporates the factual allegations in foregoing paragraphs 1-

203 into Count I as if fully set forth herein.

205. Defendants’ statements described above (collectively, the “defamatory statements”) are

false and defamatory.

206. Collectively, Defendants published to millions of viewers of Twitter, YouTube, and other

platforms directed at and received by Virginia audiences, false statements as discussed

throughout this Complaint. Defendants’ defamatory statements were subsequently and

virally shared and republished on a wide range of websites.

207. Defendants’ false and defamatory statements were intended as assertions of fact and/or are

defamatory by implication, as the Defendants, through the plain and natural meaning of

their statements (and all inferences, implications, and insinuations fairly attributable to

them), intended for their readers and listeners to accept as fact their defamatory assertions

against Mr. Gilmore.

79

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 79 of 99 Pageid#: 484


208. Defendants deliberately imply factual assertions about Mr. Gilmore by pointing out

biographical facts about him (e.g. that he works for the State Department) alongside facts

related to their theories that the Charlottesville attack was staged by the “Deep State” or

George Soros. By alleging these facts in close proximity to one another and against the

backdrop of Defendants’ previously published conspiracy theories about the “Deep State,”

George Soros, and/or “psy-ops,” Defendants deliberately intended for any gaps in factual

assertions made about Mr. Gilmore to be easily filled in by the audience and understood to

be allegations of fact. Indeed, the inferences are so obvious, the dots so easy to connect,

that the only reasonable interpretation of Defendants’ publications is that they are

defamatory assertions of fact.

209. As detailed above, Defendants’ false and defamatory statements concerned Mr. Gilmore

and had him as their primary subject. The Defendants’ defamatory statements were

designed to (1) injure Mr. Gilmore’s reputation, (2) subject Mr. Gilmore to contempt and

disgrace, and (3) incite harassment of and threats directed at Mr. Gilmore.

210. As detailed above, Defendants acted with actual malice. Their false and defamatory

statements about Mr. Gilmore’s background and role in the Charlottesville protest and

attack were made with knowledge of their falsehood or reckless disregard for their truth or

falsity.

211. As detailed above, Defendants failed to investigate the facts they alleged about Mr.

Gilmore in their various publications and severely departed from journalistic standards

despite presenting their publications and videos as fact-based journalism. Defendants

harbored ill will toward Mr. Gilmore.

80

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 80 of 99 Pageid#: 485


212. Moreover, each of Defendants’ previous publications are evidence that they conceived a

storyline in advance of any adequate investigation and then consciously set out to insert

Mr. Gilmore into their preconceived narratives as discussed throughout the Complaint.

213. Together, these facts and circumstances make clear that Defendants subjectively

entertained serious doubts about the truth of their statements about Mr. Gilmore, were

willfully blind to any facts that might have undermined their preconceived narrative, and

deliberately published false facts and stories about Mr. Gilmore.

214. Defendants’ statements are also defamatory per se because they falsely impute to Mr.

Gilmore the commission of a criminal offense involving moral turpitude— broadly, in this

instance, that Mr. Gilmore, as part of some “Deep State” conspiracy, participated in the

orchestration of James Alex Fields, Jr.’s car attack in Charlottesville on August 12, 2017,

which killed one person and injured many others. If true, these allegations would cause Mr.

Gilmore to be indicted and punished. Defendants’ statements also prejudice Mr. Gilmore

in his profession as a Foreign Service Officer at the State Department: by asserting that

Mr. Gilmore planned, orchestrated, or knowingly participated in some sort of operation to

incite violence in Charlottesville, Defendants undermine Mr. Gilmore’s ability to conduct

diplomatic work abroad.

215. Defendants’ false and defamatory statements harmed and continue to harm Mr. Gilmore

both personally and professionally. Defendants are individually liable to Mr. Gilmore for

the personal and professional harm they caused by defaming Mr. Gilmore, each in an

amount greater than $75,000 to be determined at trial.

(Against Defendant Creighton)

216. Plaintiff re-alleges and incorporates the foregoing factual allegations in paragraphs 1 – 61,

145-203 to Counts II, III, and IV as if fully set forth herein.

217. Defendant Creighton published false and defamatory statements concerning Mr. Gilmore

and had him as their primary subject.

218. Defendant Creighton’s false and defamatory statements were intended as assertions of fact,

and impart what a reasonable reader would believe is factual. Indeed, his website’s

description reads, “Neoliberal News of the Day.”111 As detailed elsewhere in this

Complaint, Defendant Creighton’s audience did believe that his statements were factual.

219. Defendant Creighton republished the same or substantially similar false and defamatory

statements in at least two other forums, “Before It’s News” and “Signs of the Times,”112

on August 13, and therefore Counts III and IV reincorporate and re-allege the same facts

as Count II for each additional publication.

220. Defendant Creighton’s false and defamatory statements were designed to injure Mr.

Gilmore’s reputation, subject Mr. Gilmore to contempt and disgrace, and incite harassment

and threats directed at Mr. Gilmore; indeed, Defendant Creighton’s statements had their

intended effect.

221. By publishing such statements, Defendant Creighton did cause harm to Mr. Gilmore, as

detailed in the paragraphs above.

222. Defendant Creighton acted with actual malice. His false and defamatory statements about

Mr. Gilmore’s background and role in the Charlottesville protest and attack were made

with knowledge of their falsehood or reckless disregard for their truth or falsity. As detailed

elsewhere in this Complaint, Defendant Creighton’s failure to investigate, departure from

journalistic standards, ill will toward alleged “psy-ops,” and preconceived storyline about

the violence in Charlottesville in which he inserted Mr. Gilmore all make clear that he

subjectively entertained serious doubts about the truth of his statements, was willfully blind

to any facts that might have undermined his preconceived narrative, and deliberately

published a false story.

223. Defendant Creighton’s statements are also defamatory per se because they falsely impute

to Mr. Gilmore the commission of a criminal offense involving moral turpitude—in this

instance that Mr. Gilmore planned or participated in James Alex Fields, Jr.’s car attack in

Charlottesville on August 12, 2017, which killed one person and injured many others.

Further, Defendant Creighton falsely suggests that Mr. Gilmore is part of a larger plot to

commit treason against the United States by attempting to destabilize and/or delegitimize

the federal government. If true, these allegations would cause Mr. Gilmore to be indicted

and punished. Defendant Creighton’s statements also prejudice Mr. Gilmore in his

profession as a Foreign Service Officer at the U.S. State Department: by asserting that Mr.

Gilmore planned, orchestrated, or knowingly participated in a secret government “psy-op”

in Charlottesville, Defendant Creighton undermines Mr. Gilmore’s ability to conduct

diplomatic work abroad.

83

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 83 of 99 Pageid#: 488


224. As a direct and proximate result of Defendant Creighton’s false statements, Mr. Gilmore

has suffered presumed damages as well as actual reputational, emotional, and professional

injuries. Defendant Creighton is liable for the harm he caused by defaming Mr. Gilmore in

an amount greater than $75,000 to be determined at trial.

84

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 84 of 99 Pageid#: 489


elsewhere in this Complaint, Defendant Creighton’s failure to investigate, departure from

journalistic standards, ill will toward alleged “psy-ops” and preconceived storyline about

the violence in Charlottesville into which he inserted Mr. Gilmore all make clear that he

was reckless with respect to the truth of his statements, he subjectively entertained serious

doubts about the truth of his statements, he was willfully blind to any facts that might have

undermined his preconceived narrative, and he deliberately published a false story.

231. Defendant Creighton’s statements are also defamatory per se because they falsely impute

doubts about the truth of his statements, was willfully blind to any facts that might have

undermined his preconceived narrative, and deliberately published a false story.

239. Defendant Hoft’s statements are also defamatory per se because they falsely impute to Mr.

Gilmore the commission of some criminal offense involving moral turpitude—in this

instance, that Mr. Gilmore, as part of some “Deep-State” conspiracy, planned or

participated in James Alex Fields, Jr.’s car attack in Charlottesville on August 12, 2017,

which killed one person and injured many others. If true, these allegations would cause Mr.

87

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 87 of 99 Pageid#: 492


242. Defendants Stranahan and McAdoo’s false and defamatory statements, which were

published by Defendants Jones, InfoWars, and/or Free Speech Systems, concerned Mr.

Gilmore and had him as their primary subject.

243. Defendants Jones, InfoWars, Free Speech Systems, Stranahan, and McAdoo’s false and

244. Defendants Jones, InfoWars, Free Speech Systems, Stranahan, and McAdoo’s statements

were designed to injure Mr. Gilmore’s reputation, subject Mr. Gilmore to contempt and

245. By publishing such false and defamatory statements, Defendants Jones, InfoWars, Free

Speech Systems, Stranahan, and McAdoo did cause harm to Mr. Gilmore.

actual malice. Their defamatory statements about Mr. Gilmore’s background and role in

the Charlottesville protest and attack were made with knowledge of their falsehood or

reckless disregard for their truth or falsity.

247. As detailed elsewhere in this Complaint, Defendants Jones, InfoWars, Free Speech

Systems, Stranahan, and McAdoo’s failure to investigate, departure from journalistic

248. Defendants Jones, InfoWars, Free Speech Systems, Stranahan, and McAdoo’s statements

indicted and punished.113

249. Defendants Jones, InfoWars, Free Speech Systems, Stranahan, and McAdoo’s statements

262. By publishing such false and defamatory statements, Defendants Jones, InfoWars, and Free

Speech Systems did cause harm to Mr. Gilmore.

263. Defendants Jones, InfoWars, and Free Speech Systems acted with actual malice. Their

false and defamatory statements about Mr. Gilmore’s background and role in the

Charlottesville protest and attack were made with knowledge of their falsehood or reckless

disregard for their truth or falsity. As detailed elsewhere in this Complaint, Defendants

Jones, InfoWars, and Free Speech Systems’ failure to investigate, departure from

journalistic standards, ill will toward the “Deep State,” and preconceived storyline about

the violence in Charlottesville into which they inserted Mr. Gilmore all make clear that

they were reckless with respect to the truth of their statements, subjectively entertained

serious doubts about the truth of their statements, were willfully blind to any facts that

might have undermined their preconceived narrative, and deliberately published a false

story.

264. Defendants Jones, InfoWars, and Free Speech Systems’ statements are also defamatory per

se because they falsely impute to Mr. Gilmore the commission of a criminal offense

91

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 91 of 99 Pageid#: 496


involving moral turpitude—in this instance that Mr. Gilmore, as a CIA operative, planned

or participated in James Alex Fields, Jr.’s car attack in Charlottesville on August 12, 2017,

which killed one person and injured many others. If true, these allegations would cause Mr.

Gilmore to be indicted and punished. Defendants Jones, InfoWars, and Free Speech

Systems’ false and defamatory statements also prejudice Mr. Gilmore in his profession as

a Foreign Service Officer at the United States State Department. By asserting that Mr.

Gilmore is a CIA operative who planned, orchestrated, or knowingly participated in a secret

“Deep State” or government operation to carry out a terrorist attack in Charlottesville,

Defendants Jones, InfoWars, and Free Speech Systems undermine Mr. Gilmore’s ability to

conduct diplomatic work both at home and abroad.

265. At the time the defamatory statements were made, Defendant Jones was an employee

and/or agent of Defendants Infowars, and/or Free Speech Systems.

266. Defendant Jones was acting within the scope of his employment and/or agency for

Defendants Infowars, and/or Free Speech Systems when he made defamatory statements

about Mr. Gilmore that appeared in the video, “Breaking: State Department/CIA

Orchestrated Charlottesville Tragedy.”

267. Defendants Infowars, and/or Free Speech Systems participated in, produced, and ratified

Defendant Jones’s conduct.

268. Defendants Infowars, and/or Free Speech Systems are legally responsible for the acts of

their employees, agents, or servants, pursuant to the doctrine of respondeat superior.

269. As a direct and proximate result of Defendants Jones, InfoWars, and Free Speech Systems’

false and defamatory statements, Mr. Gilmore has suffered presumed damages as well as

actual reputational, emotional, and professional injuries, and Defendants Jones, InfoWars,

and Free Speech Systems are jointly and severally liable for the harm he caused by

defaming Mr. Gilmore in an amount greater than $75,000 to be determined at trial.

COUNT IX: DEFAMATION FOR STATEMENTS PUBLISHED IN AUGUST 19,


2017 ARTICLE ENTITLED “BOMBSHELL: NEW EVIDENCE SUGGESTS
CHARLOTTESVILLE WAS A COMPLETE SET-UP” (EXHIBIT H)
(Against Defendants Allen B. West, Derrick Wilburn, Michele Hickford, and Words-
N-Ideas, LLC)

270. Plaintiff re-alleges and incorporates the foregoing factual allegations in paragraphs 1 – 36,

125-203 to Count IX as if fully set forth herein.

271. Defendants Wilburn, West, Hickford, and Words-N-Ideas published false and defamatory

statements on Defendant West’s website on August 19, 2017 concerning Mr. Gilmore that

had him as their primary subject.

272. Defendants’ statements were intended as assertions of fact and impart what a reasonable

reader would believe is factual. Indeed, and as detailed elsewhere in the Complaint,

Defendants’ readers did believe Defendants’ statements to be factual.

273. Defendants’ false and defamatory statements were designed to injure Mr. Gilmore’s

reputation, subject Mr. Gilmore to contempt and disgrace, and incite harassment and threats

directed at Mr. Gilmore; indeed, Defendants’ statements had their intended effect.

274. By publishing such false and defamatory statements, Defendants did cause harm to Mr.

Gilmore.

275. Defendants acted with actual malice. Defendants’ false and defamatory statements about

Mr. Gilmore’s background and role in the Charlottesville protest and attack were made

with knowledge of their falsehood or reckless disregard for their truth or falsity. As detailed

elsewhere in this Complaint, Defendants’ failure to investigate, departure from journalistic

standards, ill will toward the “Deep State,” and preconceived storyline about the violence

93

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 93 of 99 Pageid#: 498


in Charlottesville into which they inserted Mr. Gilmore all make clear that they were

reckless with respect to the truth of Defendant Wilburn’s statements, subjectively

entertained serious doubts about the truth of their statements, were willfully blind to any

facts that might have undermined his preconceived narrative, and deliberately published a

false story.

276. Defendants’ statements are also defamatory per se because they falsely impute to Mr.

Gilmore the commission of some criminal offense involving moral turpitude—in this

instance, that Mr. Gilmore, as part of some “Deep State” conspiracy, participated in or

planned James Alex Fields, Jr.’s car attack in Charlottesville on August 12, 2017, which

killed one person and injured many others. If true, these allegations would cause Mr.

Gilmore to be indicted and punished.

277. Defendants’ statements are also defamatory per se because they prejudice Mr. Gilmore in

his profession as a Foreign Service Officer at the State Department: by falsely asserting

that Mr. Gilmore planned, orchestrated, or knowingly participated in a secret “Deep State”

conspiracy in Charlottesville, Defendants West, Wilburn, Hickford, and Words-N-Ideas

undermine Mr. Gilmore’s ability to conduct diplomatic work at home and abroad.

278. At the time the false and defamatory statements were made, Defendant Wilburn was an

employee and/or agent of Defendants West, Hickford, and/or Words-N-Ideas.

279. Defendant Wilburn was acting within the scope of his employment and/or agency for

Defendants West, Hickford, and/or Words-N-Ideas when he made defamatory statements

about Mr. Gilmore that appeared in the article, “Bombshell: New Evidence Suggests

Charlottesville Was a Complete Set-Up.”

94

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 94 of 99 Pageid#: 499


280. Defendants West, Hickford, and/or Words-N-Ideas participated in, produced, and ratified

Defendant Wilburn’s conduct.

281. Defendants West, Hickford, and/or Words-N-Ideas are legally responsible for the acts of

their employees, agents, or servants, pursuant to the doctrine of respondeat superior.

282. As a direct and proximate result of Defendants Wilburn, West, Hickford, and Words-N-

Ideas’ false and defamatory statements, Mr. Gilmore has suffered presumed damages as

well as actual reputational, emotional, and professional injuries, and are jointly and

severally liable for the harm he caused by defaming Mr. Gilmore in an amount greater than

$75,000 to be determined at trial.

COUNT X: INTENTIONAL INFLICTION OF EMOTIONAL DISTRESS


(Against All Defendants)

283. Mr. Gilmore re-alleges and incorporates the foregoing factual allegations in paragraphs 1

– 203 into Count X as if fully set forth herein.

284. Defendants’ conduct is outrageous and beyond all reasonable bounds of decency, where,

without engaging in the bare minimum of journalistic factual inquiry and verification,

Defendants published to their audiences content portraying Mr. Gilmore as a criminal

accessory to murder, violence, and treason.

285. Defendants’ statements falsely and maliciously assert that Mr. Gilmore is a criminal.

Considering all publicly available information about Mr. Gilmore and all information

resulting from Defendants’ investigation of Mr. Gilmore, of which there is none,

Defendants have no basis for so asserting.

286. Defendants knew or should have known that reading their publications and the reputational

harm that resulted from them would cause Mr. Gilmore severe emotional distress.

95

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 95 of 99 Pageid#: 500


287. Based on their audiences’ foreseeable reactions, detailed elsewhere in this complaint,

Defendants knew or should have known that their publications about Mr. Gilmore would

cause him to be the subject of harassment and threats and thereby cause severe emotional

distress.

288. Defendants’ decisions to publish baseless false allegations as fact, while reasonably

foreseeing that their actions would cause severe emotional distress, is outrageous and

intolerable.

289. Mr. Gilmore has experienced serious and severe emotional distress as a direct and

proximate result of Defendants’ actions. Defendants’ publication of baseless false

allegations have caused Mr. Gilmore extensive personal suffering in the wake of the slew

of threats and harassment that has been directed at him; depression, anxiety, sleeplessness,

inability to concentrate, irritability. It has also caused irreparable damage to his

professional reputation as a diplomat in the State Department and his ability to conduct

business in his current employment, including loss of income.

290. Mr. Gilmore lives in a state of constant fear and anxiety after reading Defendants’ false

and defamatory statements about him all over the Internet and due to the death threats that

Defendants’ armies of followers have launched at him after taking Defendants’ defamatory

statements as assertions of fact. This high level of stress has manifested itself both

physically and psychologically.

291. Mr. Gilmore has developed a medical condition called Central Serous Chorioretinopathy,

which causes loss of vision in Mr. Gilmore’s right eye. This visual impairment seriously

impedes his ability to conduct business, let alone carry out day-to-day activities.

96

Case 3:18-cv-00017-GEC Document 29 Filed 04/24/18 Page 96 of 99 Pageid#: 501


292. Mr. Gilmore also suffers from depression, the symptoms of which have been exacerbated

by the consistently high levels of stress caused the reputational harm caused by Defendants’

false and defamatory statements, as well as by the threats and harassment directed at Mr.

Gilmore, and have impaired his ability to conduct both work and social activities.

293. Defendants are each individually liable to Mr. Gilmore for the emotional distress they

caused in an amount greater than $75,000 to be determined at trial.

VI. PRAYER FOR RELIEF

WHEREFORE, plaintiff Brennan Gilmore prays that this Court enter judgment in his favor

and against all Defendants, and respectfully that this Court grant the following relief:

A. An award of presumed and actual damages to compensate Mr. Gilmore for his

reputational, emotional, and professional injuries, in an amount to be determined at

trial;

B. An award of damages to compensate Mr. Gilmore for his emotional distress, in an

amount to be determined at trial;

C. An award of punitive damages, in an amount to be determined at trial;

D. An award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs to the fullest extent permitted by law;

and

E. Such other and further relief as the Court deems just.

Dated: April 24, 2018.

Charlottesville Attack, Brennan Gilmore and… the STOP KONY 2012


Pysop? What?

Posted on August 13, 2017 by willyloman


by Sco Creighton

UPDATE: Moon of Alabama blog makes some valid comparisons between this event and those that took place in Kiev during our color
revolution (h p://www.moonofalabama.org/2017/08/charlo esville-what-you-wish-upon-others-you-wish-upon-yourself.html)

(of course, those were REAL Nazis throwing fire bombs at the police as opposed to FAKE NAZIS, probably police provocateurs, whom the police didn’t
bother with and were given a stand-down order to stay out of the way till some good violence unfolded)

Go back and look at the video Brennan Gilmore posted of the Charlo esville a ack. Go back and look at it. Something very odd and
OBVIOUS is staring us in the face and all we have to do is step back and take a breath and see what’s right there for us to see.

The numbers from the Charlo esville a ack are in and one individual is dead with another 30 or so injured. Two more deaths are
a ributed to the event in an effort to make it bleed more so to speak, but they were killed when their helicopter crashed. I’m not sure how
they link that to the protests, but, there you go.

I will do some research on the suspect and publish it a li le later but right now I wanted to share with you some things I found out about
Brennan Gilmore, the former State Department employee who just HAPPENED to be at the exact right place at the exact right time already
filming with his camera to capture the entire event from beginning to end.

And he just HAPPENED to have the pre-approved establishment message canned and ready to go for a CNN interview on the scene.
Funny, his video hadn’t gone viral yet and CNN was already interviewing him? What a coincidence there, huh? Notice he says the
counter-protesters were “peaceful”. I guess that means Soros’ ANTIFA provocateurs had been told to avoid that particular march. Also
notice he equates “alt-right” with “terrorists” and “racists” with ease.

Brennan Gilmore’s video is viral now. It’s been hijacked by more YouTubers than you can imagine. It really was perfect. Not only did he
HAPPEN to be at the right place at the right time, but he was ALREADY recording with his camera and it was focused on that car, for
SOME REASON as it drove by the corner at a reasonable rate. Why he would focus on that vehicle right then and there BEFORE IT DID
ANYTHING is a mystery to me. It was traveling down the street at about 25 miles and hour which is not out of place for that road.
Certainly it may be for the situation, but remember, the march was not planned and or sanctioned, so the street was not blocked off, and in
fact, there were two more cars in front of the Dodge Charger that were stuck in the middle of the protest on that same street. Those are the
ones hit from behind by the Charger. But Brennan wasn’t filming them was he? No. But he did film the Charger heading all the way down
the street into the crowd of protesters… almost as if he knew it would run into them rather than simply brake and sit and wait like the
other cars in front of it.

Video of car hitting anti-racist protestors. Let there be no

victims. Stay home.

Again, not a smoking gun in and of itself, but when combined with all the other coincidences surrounding his video PLUS the fact that he
was ready to go with the divide and conquer establishment version of events for CNN while people were still lying on the hot pavement, it
kind of makes you wonder doesn’t it?

PLUS… Brennan says it is “definitely terrorism”… no doubt about it. HAS to be “terrorism”, right?

Let me take a second to explain something to you. Terrorism is an act of violence or the THREAT of violence designed to prompt a change
in a country in terms of it’s economic, political or social structure.

How is ramming a car into a crowd of protesters you don’t like to be considered an effort by that ONE PERSON to bring about a change in
this country’s social structure? Are we to assume the driver thought that running over a few counter protesters would make the rest of the
country step back and say “yeah, the Robert E. Lee statue is history, not racism” and let it stand?

A terrorist blows up an airport because he wants to DISRUPT commerce and travel. A terrorist runs a campaign like GLADIO because he
wants to prevent a nation from slipping too far to the left. A racist might run over “goddamned hippies” because he HATES THEM. But
that’s NOT terrorism.

However… if the event, the mass casualty event, was PLANNED to destabilize the nation, to DIVIDE the “alt-left’ and the “alt-right”…
then THAT IS TERRORISM.

Moving on…

“The violence and hatred in our society is out of control. We like to think that it’s be er than places like Africa and Asia, but it’s not,”
said Mr. Gilmore, who worked in Africa as a U.S. State Department foreign service officer before leaving to manage the campaign of
Tom Perriello for Virginia governor earlier this year. “I’m worried.” New York Times
(h ps://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/12/us/charlo esville-protest-white-nationalist.html)

Given Brennan’s rather suspicious positioning before the fact and his former employer (a State Department that is wholly disgusted with
BOTH Trump and Tillerson for firing a number of 7th floor entrenched State Department career “soft power” activists) I thought I would
look him up and see if I could find some more background on who is really is and what he did for them.

This is what I found:

The link is dead. They scrubbed it from the interwebs. But as you can probably imagine, when I saw he was linked somehow to the whole
“STOP KONY 2012” psyop, I was amazed.

Then I found some more (not an easy thing to do mind you):

State/OIG recently posted its inspection report of the US Embassy in Bangui, a 15% danger pay post, as well as a 35% COLA and 35%
hardship differential pay assignment (h p://aoprals.state.gov/Web920/location_action.asp?MenuHide=1&CountryCode=1182). The
inspection took place in Washington, DC, between September 10 and 28, 2012, and in Bangui, the Central African Republic, between
November 5 and 12, 2012.

The diplomatic mission is headed by Ambassador Laurence D. Wohlers (h ps://diplopundit.net/2010/07/05/officially-in-laurence-d-


wohlers-to-bangui/), a career diplomat. The deputy chief of mission (DCM) is Brennan M. Gilmore. The embassy temporarily
suspended operations on December 28, 2012, as a result of the security situation in the country…

The Ambassador arrived in September 2010 and the deputy chief of mission (DCM) in July 2011. They constitute a team that is
particularly strong in outreach and reporting and have successfully weathered a series of management challenges. They are not as
successful when it comes to leadership and morale.

The DCM has broad executive responsibilities. He supervises the reporting agenda assigned to the first-tour
political/economic/consular officer. The officer meets weekly with the DCM and usually the Ambassador as well. The DCM is
responsible primarily for military affairs, which include the U.S. Special Forces deployment to the eastern Central African
Republic and a rotational U.S. Africa Command liaison officer position. Diplopundit archive on Brennan Gilmore
(h ps://diplopundit.net/tag/brennan-m-gilmore/)

The STOP KONY 2012 psyop was all about using the Joseph Kony boogieman to justify le ing Barack Obama send Special Operations
troops into Africa to run around and squash any and all resistance to our new imperialism campaign. It was a fraud. A show. And
Brennan was part of it.

He was also part of the campaign of Tom Perriello’s in Virginia to become the next governor. Perriello also has ties to the new African
imperialism campaign that was waged under the watchful eyes of our first black president. Tom lost the primary two months ago in spite
of the fact that he was backed by every establishment unDemocratic Party leader and even that Khan guy who
(h ps://twi er.com/brennanmgilmore/status/874425567977844737)was rolled out by Hillary Clinton to paint Trump as a racist way back
when.

In July 2015, President Obama appointed Tom Perriello to succeed former US Senator Russell Feingold as Special Envoy to the
Great Lakes Region and the Democratic Republic of Congo. As Special Envoy, Perriello was the US representative to a region
including Democratic Republic of Congo, Burundi, and Rwanda, countries working to overcome a recent legacy of civil war and
genocide.

In December 2016, Perriello indicated that he would run for Governor of Virginia (h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor_of_Virginia)
in the 2017 election (h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_gubernatorial_election,_2017) on a platform centered around economic
justice as well as resistance to the Trump Administration (h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidency_of_Donald_Trump).[51]
(h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Perriello#cite_note-51)

Perriello is currently CEO of Win Virginia a PAC dedicated to helping Democrats win back the Virginia House of Delegates in
2017.

And there’s one more thing about the man Brennan Gilmore tried to make the next governor of Virginia… he’s a centrist neoliberal linked
to the CIA’s USAID

During the 2009 legislative session, Perriello voted for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
(h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Recovery_and_Reinvestment_Act_of_2009),[31]
(h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Perriello#cite_note-rc46-31) (he voted for TARP) the American Clean Energy and Security Act

(h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patient_Protection_and_Affordable_Care_Act) in March 2010.[33]


(h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Perriello#cite_note-33) During debate over the health care bill in the House, he voted for the
Stupak–Pi s Amendment (h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stupak%E2%80%93Pi s_Amendment) to the Affordable Health Care for
America Act (h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affordable_Health_Care_for_America_Act), which would have prohibited the use of
federal funds to cover any part of the costs of any health plan that includes coverage of abortion (and he voted for fascist ObamaCare
but didn’t want abortion to be paid for under it)…

Tom Perriello was selected by Secretary of State John Kerry to lead the 2015 Quadrennial Diplomacy & Development Review, a
strategic planning process intended to be conducted every four years for the U.S. Department of State
(h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Department_of_State) and the U.S. Agency for International Development
(h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Agency_for_International_Development) (USAID)…

He has worked as a consultant to the International Center for Transitional Justice


(h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Center_for_Transitional_Justice) in Kosovo (h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosovo) (2003),
Darfur (h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darfur) (2005), and Afghanistan (h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afghanistan) (2007) where he
worked on justice-based security strategies.[13] (h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Perriello#cite_note-c-ville-13) Perriello has also
been a fellow at The Century Foundation (h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Century_Foundation)

Ah, so Tom worked mopping up resistance in places like Kosovo, Darfur and Afghanistan before becoming such a stalwart “progressive”
huh?

And what’s that about The Century Foundation? Who are they you ask?

The Century Foundation is a progressive think tank (h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Think_tank) headquartered in New York City

3/1/2018 Charlottesville Attack, Brennan Gilmore and… the STOP KONY 2012 Pysop? What? | American Everyman

Ah, the Global Free Market Wars, a.k.a. the Global War on Terrorism a.k.a. Overseas Contingency Operations. And Tom, and apparently
our “convenient witness” Brennan Gilmore, were all over it.

Gilmore has spent a lot of time Tweeting since the event unfolded yesterday. As expected, he is quick to label it terrorism and cast blame
on the “alt-right” which he equates with Nazism (h ps://twi er.com/brennanmgilmore/status/896464509262548992).

It’s important to put into context Brennan Gilmore’s time in CAR when they were fighting “KONY”

They weren’t fighting KONY. He was there in support of the brutal military dictatorship of General François Bozizé
(h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois_Boziz%C3%A9) who took over in coup from the elected president of the country, Ange-
Félix Patassé (h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ange-F%C3%A9lix_Patass%C3%A9)

Our puppet dictator Bozize was trying to hold onto power in the face of a 2012 uprising from Séléka CPSK-CPJP-UFDR
(h ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A9l%C3%A9ka_CPSK-CPJP-UFDR) not “KONY”. But of course, that would have been a harder sell
to the fans of President Peace Prize so “KONY” the boogieman. In the end, Special Operations and all the propaganda we could muster
did li le to stem the tide of CHANGE in CAR and the start of 2013 saw folks like Brennan Gilmore and Bozize flee the country.

Gilmore has said on multiple occasions since the event yesterday that you would think hatred and violence is more widespread in “African
nations” than it is right here in the states, but “you would be wrong” which is quite an amazing statement coming from a man who
resided in a country that routinely killed opposition leaders and who was forced to FLEE THE COUNTRY when the people finally took it
back from us.

All this being said, is it possible this man with links to Special Ops and CIA and various other black ops kinds of actors just HAPPENED to
be there at that particular moment in history?

Yeah, I guess that’s possible, if you’re into coincidence theories I suppose.

But I’m not into such things.

Clearly the State Department has a lot of disgruntled former employees who would delight in destabilizing Trump’s tenure even more
than they already have. And Gilmore, like Tom, seem particularly invested in undermining the “alt-right” in the lead-up to the next round
of elections.

Waaaaaay too much coincidence for me folks. Waaaaaay too much.

re the car crash: the really strange part wasn’t that gilmore’s camera followed the car, it was that he chose to pan away from the car
after it crashed into a crowd of people.

also, i couldn’t help but think of recent terror events in europe where a vehicle was used as a weapon. i guess we’re supposed to equate
the threat from trump/alt-right as being as dire as the threat of radical islam?

i don’t think that car was supposed to come back up the street. they couldn’t foresee cars stopped in the middle of the crowd and
the driver couldn’t see them stopped there due to all the people walking in front of them. When he hit the car, he hit it hard enough
to launch it into the one in front of it, then the driver paniced and hit reverse. I think, if the videographer was part of the operation,
he was as shocked to see the car coming back up the street as the driver was and probably didn’t want to risk recording the driver’s
face had the window been busted.

the vid cuts away from the car almost as soon as it crashes into the crowd, which i thought was weird; i know if i captured
something like that on camera, i’d keep the camera on the car & probably try to get a closer pic of the car, rather than turn the
camera around to film a handful of people away from the crash.

No think tank claiming to believe in a “free market” can call itself progressive. The ‘free’ market doesn’t exist; further, the consequence
of unfe ered trade is a huge outflux of cash from this country and a lot less money flowing into the economy, since it’s offshored or in
some fatcats’ bank accounts. Neoliberalism is just Reaganism hiding in sheep’s clothes.

Before you guys go crazy making connections. We are talking about Charlo seville, VA. Langley is just a couple of hours away. The
feds love recruiting from UVA. As a person that lives in Northern Virginia it’s not surprising in the least to see a former agent taking
this video. He makes no secret about it in his politico article- infact he makes some interesting comparisons to situation dealt with in
Africa. If anything we owe him a great deal for his ability to stay calm and articulate during a hostile situation. We are are all be er

When my shrink said there are no coincidences I thought she was ba y, but the more I focused on “coincidental” occurances it became
clear that she is right. There are no coincidences. Every thing that happens is explainable. The next time you have a; “well, what a
coincident” moment, try looking back at, the “coincident”, and what just happened, disect the moments, question the elements
involved. You will also come to the same conclusion. There are no coincidents. Except the Big Bang.
I thank the author for doing the work necessary to the forming an opinion based on logical assesment of some hard to find information.
Good work.

XCELLENT work WillyLoman. I have followed you since the Aurora psyops where you came up with (from my rapidly ageing brains

thought it strange that the cameraman panned away after watching the car driving sedately it seemed down the street. It doesn’t show
any other cars I might go look on (((You Tube))). Over here in New Zealand the latest story is that he hit his mother & that when he was
on a school trip to Dachau he’d said “this is where the magic happened” .

Ah interestinger & interestinger . . . . . . . I’ve just looked on you tube & the—- first thing I noticed was that my browser extension
/download bu on is no longer working. And I seem to have gone from You Tube .com to You Tube .com. NZ.

It would appear from the videos I watched that the shot of the car driving relatively sedately before the “mayhem” has been placed
into the “presentations” later on, so that one can’t actually work out the sequence of events. There were obviously multiple camera-
people & a guy from Twi er (linked to above) has what may well be pertinent to understanding WTF happened. Someone else did a
Twi er search on the hash-tag # False Flag . . . .(where I picked up Ariosopher from) – there’s are certainly shit loads of people calling
“bullshit” on the MSM version of events !!

We watch with interest.

lost the primary two months ago in spite of the fact that he was backed by every establishment unDemocratic Party
leader and even that Khan guy who was rolled out by Hillary Clinton to paint Trump as a racist way back when.

In July 2015, President Obama appointed Tom Perriello to succeed former US Senator Russell Feingold as
Special Envoy to the Great Lakes Region and the Democratic Republic of Congo. As Special Envoy, Perriello was
the US representative to a region including Democratic Republic of Congo, Burundi, and Rwanda, countries working
to overcome a recent legacy of civil war and genocide.

In December 2016, Perriello indicated that he would run for Governor of Virginia in the 2017 election on a platform
centered around economic justice as well as resistance to the Trump Administration.[51]

Perriello is currently CEO of Win Virginia a PAC dedicated to helping Democrats win back the Virginia House of
Delegates in 2017.

And there’s one more thing about the man Brennan Gilmore tried to make the next governor of Virginia… he’s a
centrist neoliberal linked to the CIA’s USAID.

During the 2009 legislative session, Perriello voted for the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act,[31] (he voted
for TARP) the American Clean Energy and Security Act,[32] and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in
March 2010.[33] During debate over the health care bill in the House, he voted for the Stupak–Pitts Amendment to
the Affordable Health Care for America Act, which would have prohibited the use of federal funds to cover any part
of the costs of any health plan that includes coverage of abortion (and he voted for fascist ObamaCare but didn’t
want abortion to be paid for under it)…

Tom Perriello was selected by Secretary of State John Kerry to lead the 2015 Quadrennial Diplomacy &
Development Review, a strategic planning process intended to be conducted every four years for the U.S.
Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)…

He has worked as a consultant to the International Center for Transitional Justice in Kosovo (2003), Darfur (2005),
and Afghanistan (2007) where he worked on justice-based security strategies.[13] Perriello has also been a fellow at
The Century Foundation

Ah, so Tom worked mopping up resistance in places like Kosovo, Darfur and Afghanistan before becoming such a
stalwart “progressive” huh?

OMG congrats on making the first post that Charlottesville protest is a fake plot!

Terrorism is to incite terror. You can do that without the Bombs. That is also what the KKK is doing perfectly. And
they are a domestic terror group.

Seriously, if you have a group consisting of the KKK, NEo-Nazi’s and white supremacist supporting the Robert
Edward Lee Sculpture because it is part of Confederate Culture, you really need to think really hard why these
groups are defending it.

Seriously, If i was a Alt-righter and you Have the KKK, Neo-Nazi’s and white supremacists defending you. I would
really think hard what my political ideology is about. Because if you don’t support these groups. You should speak
out or you are with them.

Similar to those Muslims who don’t condemn Islamic terrorists.

When hate-mongering crybaby racists like Sharpton and Jesse whatshisname have their public whine events, you
don’t see white people interfering.

I am not for white supremacists ( although it isn’t hard to see that given the condition our society has become
pretty much is a recruitment commercial for them) but I am also not for limiting constitutional rights, and the klan
and supremacists have just as much right to peaceful assembly and to celebrate AMERICAN culture as the
brainwashed herd that hate this country and are trying to take it over.
It appears to me that what has really happened is a group of law abiding citizens got together to enjoy their
constitutional right of assembly and were harassed by those who hate AMERICA and want us to keep just being
america, the has been nation.

I am thinking a LOT of AMERICANS are sick and tired of all the crybaby dependent mentality bullshit
and likely see through the medias corrupt misrepresentation of reality.

Go back and look at the video Brennan Gilmore posted of the Charlottesville attack. Go back
and look at it. Something very odd and OBVIOUS is staring us in the face and all we have to
do is step back and take a breath and see what's right there for us to see.

The numbers from the Charlottesville attack are in and one individual is dead with another 30
or so injured. Two more deaths are attributed to the event in an effort to make it bleed more so
to speak, but they were killed when their helicopter crashed. I'm not sure how they link that to
the protests, but, there you go.

I will do some research on the suspect and publish it a little later but right now I wanted to
share with you some things I found out about Brennan Gilmore, the former State Department
employee who just HAPPENED to be at the exact right place at the exact right time
already filming with his camera to capture the entire event from beginning to end.

all the way down the street into the crowd of protesters... almost as if he knew it would run into

"The violence and hatred in our society is out of control. We like to think that it's better
than places like Africa and Asia, but it's not," said Mr. Gilmore, who worked in Africa
as a U.S. State Department foreign service officer before leaving to manage the

Given Brennan's rather suspicious positioning before the fact and his former employer (a State

The link is dead. They scrubbed it from the interwebs. But as you can probably imagine, when I
saw he was linked somehow to the whole "STOP KONY 2012" psyop, I was amazed.

Then I found some more (not an easy thing to do mind you):

State/OIG recently posted its inspection report of the US Embassy in Bangui, a 15%
danger pay post, as well as a 35% COLA and 35% hardship differential pay
assignment. The inspection took place in Washington, DC, between September 10 and
28, 2012, and in Bangui, the Central African Republic, between November 5 and 12,
2012.

The diplomatic mission is headed by Ambassador Laurence D. Wohlers, a career


diplomat. The deputy chief of mission (DCM) is Brennan M. Gilmore. The embassy
temporarily suspended operations on December 28, 2012, as a result of the security
situation in the country...

The Ambassador arrived in September 2010 and the deputy chief of mission (DCM) in
July 2011. They constitute a team that is particularly strong in outreach and reporting
and have successfully weathered a series of management challenges. They are not as
successful when it comes to leadership and morale.

The DCM has broad executive responsibilities. He supervises the reporting agenda
assigned to the first-tour political/economic/consular officer. The officer meets weekly
with the DCM and usually the Ambassador as well. The DCM is responsible primarily
for military affairs, which include the U.S. Special Forces deployment to the eastern
Central African Republic and a rotational U.S. Africa Command liaison officer position.
Diplopundit archive on Brennan Gilmore

The STOP KONY 2012 psyop was all about using the Joseph Kony boogieman to justify
letting Barack Obama send Special Operations troops into Africa to run around and
squash any and all resistance to our new imperialism campaign. It was a fraud. A show.
And Brennan was part of it.

He was also part of the campaign of Tom Perriello's in Virginia to become the next governor.
Perriello also has ties to the new African imperialism campaign that was waged under the
watchful eyes of our first black president. Tom lost the primary two months ago in spite of the
fact that he was backed by every establishment unDemocratic Party leader and even that Khan
guy who was rolled out by Hillary Clinton to paint Trump as a racist way back when.

In July 2015, President Obama appointed Tom Perriello to succeed former US Senator
Russell Feingold as Special Envoy to the Great Lakes Region and the Democratic
Republic of Congo. As Special Envoy, Perriello was the US representative to a region
including Democratic Republic of Congo, Burundi, and Rwanda, countries working to
overcome a recent legacy of civil war and genocide.

In December 2016, Perriello indicated that he would run for Governor of Virginia in the
2017 election on a platform centered around economic justice as well as resistance to
the Trump Administration.[51]

Perriello is currently CEO of Win Virginia a PAC dedicated to helping Democrats win
back the Virginia House of Delegates in 2017.

And there's one more thing about the man Brennan Gilmore tried to make the next
governor of Virginia... he's a centrist neoliberal linked to the CIA's USAID.

During the 2009 legislative session, Perriello voted for the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act,[31] (he voted for TARP) the American Clean Energy and Security
Act,[32] and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in March 2010.[33] During
debate over the health care bill in the House, he voted for the Stupak-Pitts Amendment
to the Affordable Health Care for America Act, which would have prohibited the use of
federal funds to cover any part of the costs of any health plan that includes coverage
of abortion (and he voted for fascist ObamaCare but didn't want abortion to be paid for
under it)...

Tom Perriello was selected by Secretary of State John Kerry to lead the 2015
Quadrennial Diplomacy & Development Review, a strategic planning process
intended to be conducted every four years for the U.S. Department of State and
the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID)...

He has worked as a consultant to the International Center for Transitional Justice in


Kosovo (2003), Darfur (2005), and Afghanistan (2007) where he worked on justice-
based security strategies.[13] Perriello has also been a fellow at The Century
Foundation

Ah, so Tom worked mopping up resistance in places like Kosovo, Darfur and Afghanistan
before becoming such a stalwart "progressive" huh?

And what's that about The Century Foundation? Who are they you ask?

The Century Foundation is a progressive think tank headquartered in New York City
with an office in Washington, D.C.[1] It was founded as a nonprofitpublic policy
research institution on the belief that the prosperity and security of the United States
depends on a mix of effective government, open democracy, and free markets

Ah, the Global Free Market Wars, a.k.a. the Global War on Terrorism a.k.a. Overseas
Contingency Operations. And Tom, and apparently our "convenient witness" Brennan
Gilmore, were all over it.

Gilmore has spent a lot of time Tweeting since the event unfolded yesterday. As expected, he
is quick to label it terrorism and cast blame on the "alt-right" which he equates with Nazism.

It's important to put into context Brennan Gilmore's time in CAR when they were fighting
"KONY"

They weren't fighting KONY. He was there in support of the brutal military dictatorship of
General François Bozizé who took over in coup from the elected president of the
country, Ange-Félix Patassé

Our puppet dictator Bozize was trying to hold onto power in the face of a 2012 uprising from

3/1/2018 Charlottesville, Brennan Gilmore, and the STOP KONY 2012 Psyop -- Society's Child -- Sott.net

Séléka CPSK-CPJP-UFDR not "KONY". But of course, that would have been a harder sell to
the fans of President Peace Prize so "KONY" the boogieman. In the end, Special Operations
and all the propaganda we could muster did little to stem the tide of CHANGE in CAR and the
start of 2013 saw folks like Brennan Gilmore and Bozize flee the country.

Gilmore has said on multiple occasions since the event yesterday that you would think hatred
and violence is more widespread in "African nations" than it is right here in the states, but "you
would be wrong" which is quite an amazing statement coming from a man who resided in a
country that routinely killed opposition leaders and who was forced to FLEE THE COUNTRY
when the people finally took it back from us.

All this being said, is it possible this man with links to Special Ops and CIA and various
other black ops kinds of actors just HAPPENED to be there at that particular moment in
history?

Yeah, I guess that's possible, if you're into coincidence theories I suppose.

But I'm not into such things.

Clearly the State Department has a lot of disgruntled former employees who would delight in
destabilizing Trump's tenure even more than they already have. And Gilmore, like Tom, seem
particularly invested in undermining the "alt-right" in the lead-up to the next round of elections.

Waaaaaay too much coincidence for me folks. Waaaaaay too much.

UPDATE: Moon of Alabama blog makes some valid comparisons between this event and
those that took place in Kiev during our color revolution

(of course, those were REAL Nazis throwing fire bombs at the police as opposed to FAKE
NAZIS, probably police provocateurs, whom the police didn't bother with and were given a
stand-down order to stay out of the way till some good violence unfolded)

Truthfully, I am at a loss for words, this morning, after reading
this article! There is a "bipartisan call" for Capitol Hill hearings
on what happened in Charlottlesville, VA. Why bother? The
cover up will be massive, and we all know that the white
supremacists will get all of the blame. Antifa, BLM, The State
Department, etc. will not even be a footnote. Good Lord, our
President is surrounded by traitors. Our country is in deep
trouble, and now it's palpable!

"How do the citizens just 'suspend'

It's called stop paying your taxes. If you


stop feeding the beast then the beast
starves. It's quite simple really, but it takes
many people acting in concert to
accomplish.

So they must divide based on class, race,


religion, whatever while all the while
keeping the dogma alive that the beast is
necessary for life and liberty, when in fact
it is the sole enemy of such.

End this nonsense by peacefully resisting


by not paying your taxes and supporting
any and all peaceful secession options.

President Trump's supporters are still with him, even

They see what he's up against, what he's fighting.

It is unfortunate that it is taking so long for people to,

for a very very long time.
All I hope is that you guys realize that while all this inner
turmoil is going on your government is doing it's best to
start a major war. Americans are the only ones that can
stop the use of your military in the escalation of all these
conflicts going on.

I wonder if there was collusion between the government and
groups like ANTIFA and BLM? Perhaps the DOJ could get some

Good info. Merkel received the Kalergi Award in 2010.
Kalergi Plan to flood Europe with non-Europeans to create a mixed race that is easily
controllable by elites. Rothschilds funded the Kalergi Plan about 100 years ago and the
EU was planned just as the North American Union is planned.

And if that isn't enough: Soros donated $33 million dollars to help local activists ferment
racial division in Ferguson, Missouri, an action that transformed “a one day criminal event
into a 24-hour -a- day national cause celebre. Soro's Open Society Foundation recently
gave $10 million to “confront hate” in the U.S. plus another $500 million for “migrants,
refugees and host communities.” More hate and division is the goal.

Soros believes the United States should become subservient to global rules, including the
false global warming/carbon paradigm. He has also invested in Monsanto and a lab in
Sierra Leone that created a CDC patented Ebola strain. Humanevents.com readers call
the billionaire Soros ““the single most destructive leftist demagogue in the country.”

Good 'ol WND has just found and reported on the link between the organizer and known Soros
groups. His name is Jason Kessler, and he is from inside Occupy, a lover of every sick thing
liberal, who claims to have "changed his opinion" recently. It's also clear he worked with ACLU, a
known liberal cog in the machine. Here's the great WND expose': http://www.wnd.com/2017/08/...

NWO in full swing. The problem is you have at least 60% of the country watching this unfold that
is not going to remain idle much longer. Less than 1% that believe rioting and looting is
acceptable and 30% that will just remain neutral. What I'm curious to is this. Have the Soros
Puppets actually done the MATH? The second some soccer mom is on her way home with her
kids and some protestor road blockade ends up hurting them freeway bowling will become a sport
. And the other 30% that was neutral will now become the Hunters. Trump isn't going to invoke
martial law, he is going to let this problem sort itself out and I guarantee the people that voted for
this countries future will come out on top.

The Charlottesville terrorist attack car, 2010 Dodge Challenger, license in the photos is Ohio
GVF1111. The car registered with that # is to James Alex Fields, Jr, 20, and it had a sun/moon
roof, but the attack car did not. And Fields was not driving it. The driver as seen through the
windshield looks like James G Field, 32, US infantry Veteran. In the crash at least the driver's
airbag should have deployed, but it didn't. Therefore, that car had to have been specially prepared
for Veteran Field, with a fake license plate for kid Fields.

Then the cops allowed Vet. Field to slip away – because he was working for the deep state, and
they blamed and arrested kid Fields - a perfect lone-wolf patsy. See 82 221 129

With Jason Kessler and Mayor Michael Singer having “played their roles” in creating this media
spectacle, this report says, third up was Brennan Gilmore—who “magically and mystically” was
able to appear at the height of this created mob violence with a video camera in hand to record a
pro-fascist supporter ramming his car into a crowd of communists agitators—with Brennan
Gilmore, afterwards, being prominently interviewed by not only CNN, but every other anti-Trump
“fake news” media outlet in America too—and whose statements were, obviously, pre-planned.

illegals amnesty to vote for them (to replace their aging and incarcerated Black voting block) went
up in smoke with President Trump's election, the Democrats now realize that they have to double
down on the Black voters to have any chance of winning. This is why Charlottsville was a set up

Soros has been exposed.....and yet nothing happens to him. He has been exposed as the money
man who has tried to undermine countries around the world, including the USA, for his own profit.
He is a citizen of the US and so why is it that he has not been arrested? Israel wants him, Russia
wants him and even Hungary wants him to stand trial for his criminal activities.

We know about the Clinton Foundation....why is it that Hillary, Bill and Chelsea have not been
arrested for their criminal activities?

I am sure the the Justice Department knows about all this criminality. It is time to do something
about it. Our country is being undermined by these treasonous scum and something needs to be

First, the five key actors in this staged event are George soros/Shultz, Hillary rodham/Clinton,
barak/barry plants. The leader of the fake right group, the leader of the fake left group [both
demographics are victims of elite pedophile, neither ‘supreme’ nor lives matter], the mayor and
governor who ordered police to foment violence, the driver of the ‘death’ ‘terrorist’ car, and the
innocent bystander who happened to be walking by to film and upload and be first interviewed,
are all George soros/Shultz, Hillary rodham/Clinton, barak/barry plants .
Second, this false flag, fake news, is not an isolated event meant to attack trump. One of the key
elements of propaganda, is repetition. The theme of this particular treasonous action, has three
aims: to scare americans, to divide americans, and to make americans ashamed of their
clown/joker com-‘patriots’.

Sorry for the late answer,
TPP is a two sided sword, the upside may be some benefits for Jobs at
home, on the downside, it gives China to opportunity to strengthen its
position on the pacific rim. The country with the better economic
relationships, also influences the politics (and this could be China now).
Nothing happened to NAFTA so far, so can not book for Trump. Cutting
regulations has also two sides, it makes it easier to do business, but it
makes it also easier for them to damage the enviornment, and the health of
its workers.
The wall is still in doubt (and I personally think, not much will be built in the
next 4 years. He is definitly not going to look Hillary up (and neither
Obama).
We can have a talk in two years again, and see what happened (tax reform,
Obama care repeal, infrastructure bill...)

Dream on, Session will never jail Hillary or Obama up.
As for TPP, as I said, it is two sided. I'm not sure if it would have been such
a bad deal for the USA, maybe some renegotiation would have been
neccesary. But now, the US leaves those countries to China, who is more
than happy to widen their sphere of influence.
Steven Bannon is right to fear a future where China dictates the rules, like
the USA did for the the last 20-30 years, but cancelling TPP just gave a
boost to China.

Isn't it interesting how Sessions faked being above reproach by recusing himself from the Russia /
Trump conspiracy theory.

But when Trumped publicly expressed his displeasure with and humiliated Sessions, Sessions
said he would continue working for the president rather than recuse himself. Why? Because
Sessions knows if Trump fired him the backlash may be severely damaging and perhaps even
unrecoverable for Trump.

Sessions has to be a mouse and a turncoat and bought and paid for deep state operative. He has
to be.

Sessions recused himself when he shouldn't have becuase it benefited the deep state (and hurt
Trump) and he didn't recuse himself when he should have because once again it benefited the
deep state (and hurt Trump).

It doesn't get any plainer than that. Fire his wrinkly ass and prosectute him.

before Hagel befriended Obama. Then Hagel switched sides. We actually had 4 rigged
elections, courtesy of Hagel, 2 Bush & 2 Obama elections. They thought they rigged
Hillary's election too, but to their surprise learned they hadn't rigged it quite enough. After
they stole 3 million plus votes, it never occurred to them, Hillary could still lose. Hagel
rigged his own original election to the Senate, then began rigging other elections.

That's every bit as disingenuous as the support the Clintons got from from the Entertainment
Industry,

When Bubba & the Sea Hag went to the White House they sent two of their Arkansas "friends" to
set up a blackmail operation in the guise of a Hollywood Production Company, just like they did
when they got their hands on the "dirty dossiers" about the freaks on Capitol Hill.

Bubba's been blackmailing people since the day he caught his bother Roger, whacking off.

Let's see, Trump got an award from Jesse Jackson for hiring minorities. Trump spent the
majority of his life as a liberal Democrat, and, frankly, I don't think he changed anymore
than the guy who organized the UnitetheRight rally in Charlottesville who was also a liberal
Democrat until--I guess--he was knocked off his horse by lightning on his way to
Damascus on election night 2016.

Come on, you know Trump isn't a racist or a white supremacist. Russia just didn't work.
Why don't you wait until he trips over a conflict of interest with his businesses, or someone
finds one of those old DECLINED PROSECUTION investigations of him that MUST exist
somewhere in the bowels of the FBI's white collar section, the statute of limitations hasn't
run out, and they make something of it. That would be at least Constitutional. Let's not go

The 65th Bilderberg Meeting, held
earlier this month, from 1-4 June at Marriott Hotel in Chantilly,
Virgina, was noteworthy on a number of counts, starting with the
presence of four members of the Trump Administration at a gathering
where it was widely assumed that both the policy direction and
legitimacy of Trump’s presidency would have been hotly contested. This
represented a deviation from the poor attendance by senior US officials
at Bilderberg during Obama’s second term – during the previous four Bilderberg meetings the
Obama Administration sent just one official in 2015. For a number of alternative news outlets,
particularly Alex Jones’ Infowars,
the presence of the four Trump Administration officials presented a
unique ideological challenge given their previous incantations against
Bilderberg as a hot-bed of intrigue by the elitist supporters of
globalism, and their strong support of Trump, whom they had exalted as
the globalist giant-slayer. The Infowars solution to this dilemma was to hold a poorly attended pro-
Trump rally outside the Marriott.

While the overall turnout from the anti-Bilderberg protestors at Chantilly was, as Intellihub noted
“substantially lower than in 2012 when the Bilderbergers last met at the very same hotel”, the
alternative media and key activists were still well represented. In addition to the Infowars crew of
David Knight and Owen Shroyer (incredibly, despite the convenience of the US location, Alex

BOMBSHELL: New evidence suggests Charlottesville was a complete SET-UP


By Derrick Wilburn - August 19, 2017

At least one law enforcement officer in Charlottesville, VA has come forward to clear his conscience and reveal the truth — or
at least his version of it — that what went down in the city was not only condoned by city governance but was intentional,
orchestrated and may have been as long ago as May.

The as-yet unidentified police officer has said that the Charlottesville P.D. were specifically instructed to bring the radical left
and right wing groups together to instigate violence and then to told to “stand down” once violence ensued in a deliberate
effort to ignite a race riot. Hear his words:

The story is being told on YourNewsWire.com and other sources:

3/1/2018 BOMBSHELL: New evidence suggests Charlottesville was a complete SET-UP - Allen B. West - AllenBWest.com

This revelation is huge and if true may implicate Mayor Signer and possibly other city officials in the death of a citizen.

“Fox News reporter Doug McKelway was on the scene in Charlottesville and he backs up the police officer’s claims.

Here’s McKelway’s initial report upon landing on the ground in Charlottesville. Remember this is long before these new
revelations when neither he nor anyone had the slightest idea some dirty tricks may be afoot. To cut directly to the chase fast

forward to the 2:40 mark of this 3:51 long video and listen to what the reporter says:

Now why would the cops, sworn servants of the


populace be just standing around while citizens are bleeding right in front of them? Could it be because they were given
specific orders to render no assistance in an effort to let tensions fester?

Breaking911 tweeted video of James Fields, Jr., driver of the car in the deadly attack, as he fled the scene. People are now
noticing how at no point was the car that plowed into the crowd of protesters pursued by police – there is not a police car in
sight leading into the area or in pursuit as he drives away! How does that happen?

In the 38-second video below cops are plainly visible as Fields drives his battered Chrysler away from the carnage. Officers can
clearly be seen looking directly at the suspect and his torn up car yet they casually observe the man who’d just mowed down
dozens of people. They allow him to motor on by as if on a Sunday drive. They make NO effort to stop the car which is a mere
yard or two away with its torn up windshield and front end traveling at a very low rate of speed leaving a trail of smoke:

Does this seem like a normal reaction by law enforcement in such a situation? The depth of this conspiracy runs deeper:

We need to clarify that these are early accounts and as yet unverified, but if true this is very, very serious stuff. It points
directly to the reality of the “deep state” and more importantly to the lengths that the Soros/Clinton/Obama one-world
government cabal will go in order to realize their desires for ‘fundamental transformation.’

Folks this is much, much more serious than white supremacists versus Antifa fighting in the streets.
