Frank Figliuzzi, former FBI and frequent MSNBC commentator, spoke tonight on BriWi's show of the subliminal message of Chump's latest directive with regard to flying the flag at half staff. Chump has ordered the flags remain so until 8/8.
While that might seem innocuous enough, Figliuzzi points out the Nazi symbolism for "Heil, Hitler" just happens to be the double 8, 8 being a reference to the eighth letter of the alphabet, H. He went on to speak of the irony of returning the flag to its full upright on a day that, in world code, signifies a Nazi day of celebration. Figliuzzi came >< close to saying it was a deliberate move on Chump's part.
That's some really deep thinking going on there.

However, one of our very own racist Nazis in the government, one Stephen "dead eyes" Miller... is.

(53,915 posts)However, I will not rule out anything given what we have seen with this "presidency". It is possible it could be a dog-whistle of sorts, but whether it is or isn't, I am fairly sure there are those in the neo-Nazi community who will see it that way. In the way some on our side see this as a conspiracy, you can be sure there are those over there that see it too. Frankly, I am more worried about it being a day we see another mass shooting, basically, a way to signal to others, "we see you and we know what to do". Things like this send me into a very dark headspace and sometimes I have to step back, but on 8/8 and 4/20, I always hold my breath.

(51,560 posts)This post mentioned all the White Supremacist symbols and I just heard this on MSNBC. There are SO many symbols, letters, numbers, etc. How can anyone keep track of them all (except for Stephen Miller of course).
"He lowered the W House flag until 8/8
Aug 8th! HH. Heil Hitler
They just said this on MSNBC. I didn't know the fake prez said this in his speech today and that there is symbolism behind it. This seems like Stephen Miller had a hand in writing this speech."

He knows whereof he speaks. I believe trump is continuing to signal to the racists to continue with this flag lowering until 8/8.
He thinks he's slick but there are so many people who aren't stupid and know what he's up to.
