Far-Right Radio Host Claims Buffalo Mass Shooter Was Hypnotized By CIA Using “Screen Flicker Technology”

Media Matters reports:

Militia-linked radio host and right-wing extremist Pete Santilli claimed during his May 27 radio show that the CIA and FBI radicalized, hypnotized, and indoctrinated the shooter through his computer screen via “mind control” and “screen flicker technology” to commit the shooting. Santilli proclaimed that the shooter “was copying and pasting” his racist manifesto “from the CIA and the FBI” and that “they helped him do it over a two year period.”

Santilli first appeared on JMG in 2013 when he called for shooting Hillary Clinton “in the vagina.”

Last year he appeared here when he hosted homocon fake news blogger Jim Hoft to promote Hoft’s crowdfunding campaign to defend the Capitol rioters, who, in Hoft’s words, “only peacefully walked through the Capitol.”

Santilli has claimed that 9/11 was an “inside job,” that Sandy Hook was faked, and that George W. Bush had a role in the assassination of JFK.

In 2016, Santilli was charged with 16 felonies related to the Bundy militia’s occupation of an Oregon federal wildlife refuge. Charges were dropped after the ACLU supported his claim of merely being a live-streaming journalist.
