Great Distraction Theory: Pet Cannibals, Laura Loomer & “Ukrainian” Assassins
The firehose of shit is now a bag of hammers
When Donald Trump walked off the debate stage on September 10th, the MAGA panic was visceral. No one needed polls or focus groups to know that Trump was beclowned, embarrassed and outmatched in every conceivable way. No one even needed sound. So Trump needed a distraction, which they had already built in.
At the debate, Trump spread a particularly vile lie that stood out, a Nazi-adjacent myth that Haitian immigrants were stealing the pets of white people in Springfield, OH to eat them.
As first reported by NBC News, the group that “pushed Springfield into the public consciousness“ was an actual Nazi cult called “Blood Tribe” who are distinguished by their complete lack of shame and their matching red outfits.
Here they are taking credit for the lie on Russian intelligence platform Telegram.
So how would this lie go from a tiny Nazi Telegram channel to the debate stage for Trump to repeat to 60 million people?
Incredibly, the answer is this person, horrific foreign chaos agent Laura Loomer, a racist sociopath with ties to nearly every modern Nazi you can name.
It’s worth pausing to reflect on the fact that a very well-known Nazi, Laura Loomer, was on Donald Trump’s plane the night of the debate. This not normal, at all.
A year before Laura Loomer spread a lie created by the Nazi cult Blood Tribe to Trump, Laura Loomer ran an operation in cooperation with Russian intelligence proxy RT, whose employees were recently indicted for laundering money for waging psychological warfare in the United States. The operation involved Kent McLellan, a Nazi notable for a face full of tattoos, falsely alleging that he was an “Azov Battalion fighter.” This was an effort to tie Nazis to Ukraine by an American using literal Russian propaganda.
In reality, Kent McLellan claims to have been the youngest grandfather in America at 30 years old. No, really. He was not sent to Ukraine by the CIA or anyone else. Here he is with the leader of Blood Tribe, Christopher Pohlaus, sieg-heil-ing on an overpass. These are broken, dumb sociopaths who are paying their rent by running propaganda for foreign adversaries and domestic terrorists.
Of course, Peter Thiel’s android JD Vance has doubled and tripled down on this sick lie created in the depths of neo-Nazi Telegram. This has led to at least 33 bomb threats against Vance’s own constituents. Of course, Nazi psychopath Chaya Raichik and her LARP “Libs of TikTok” have been ginning this up with no concern for the terrible results.
Simultaneously, in an event almost too surreal to relay, there was yet another apparent assassination attempt on Trump’s life at his golf course on Sunday. The suspect was identified as Ryan Wesley Routh, someone who says he voted for Trump in 2016 and then went on a strange journey to Ukraine 2 months after the Russians invaded. He claimed to be against Russia, but has every indicator of being a low-level chaos agent for Russia — witting or not. Routh has promoted Trump, Tulsi Gabbard, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, along with his trips to Ukraine and Taiwan.
Routh, like Kent McLellan, falsely claimed a connection to Ukraine, in order to promote the lie that “Azov Battalion” — a long defunct neo-Nazi group — is the same as the Azov Regiment. Routh also lied about his connection to the Ukrainian government.
Of course, in the current atmosphere, the truth doesn’t matter, it’s just who gets out the narrative first. The richest man in the world deleted this tweet after a long uproar. Nevertheless the message was delivered — “now do Kamala.”
JD Vance doubled down on this dangerous incitement, declaring that since Trump is the one getting assassination attempts, that it’s obviously Democrats who are the problem, despite the fact both attempted assassins were Republicans. Moreover, the people most responsible for injecting the idea of Trump’s death into the mainstream were Mike Flynn and agents. As I‘ve written, Flynn Laden has been at this for over a year.
It’s very hard to escape reaching the conclusion that the Russian government is working with American proxies to try to have Trump assassinated because they all know he is losing.
While the facts of the pet-eating myth are being met with outrage, no one is talking about the crushing debate defeat anymore, or Trump’s “concept of a [healthcare] plan,” or his dementia. This is exactly what they wanted, a Great Distraction from losing on every other front.
I must point out that as soon as my friend, former Biden security staffer Jackie Singh and I began to talk about Ryan Routh and his potential connection to Russia and other bad actors, a large wave of attacks came at us from many directions. This is the best possible indication that we are hitting a nerve.
Something, something… over the target. #ArrestMikeFlynn

Thanks for writing this, Jim. I was just talking with a friend last night about the possibility of Loomer being a Russian tool and the idea that when a Trump loss seems eminent, he may become more valuable as a martyr.
