They smell blood in the water. Hollywood loves a scandal.
This guy not only has to worry about Illinois law, 1-3 years in the slammer, for filing a false report, but also federal law if he was involved with the letter. Sending a white powder substance is grounds for a terrorism charge.
Bye bye Jussie...
Please let it be true! I just don’t know if the police have the strength to arrest Smollett even if they know he pulled this hoax, including the letter. But we shall see.
Actually true to form, I expect liberalism will spin this as him being a victim of homophobia, of suffering from a condition resulting from real homophobic attacks which led him to engage in irrational behavior.
For the strategy from Hell which has been practiced for decades is as is basically set forth in the book, After the Ball, which is widely regarded as the handbook for the gay agenda, in which two homosexual Harvard-trained graduates, [55] Marshall Kirk (1957–2005), a researcher in neuropsychiatry, and Hunter Madsen (pen name Erastes Pill), who was schooled in social marketing, advocated avoiding portraying gays as aggressive challengers, but as victims instead, while making all those who opposed them to be evil persecutors. As a means of the latter, they used jamming, in which Christians, traditionalists, or anyone else who opposes the gay agenda are publicly smeared. Their strategy was based on the premise that, "In any campaign to win over the public, Gays must be portrayed as victims in need of protection so that straights will be inclined by reflex to adopt the role of protector. The purpose of victim imagery is to make straight people feel very uncomfortable."[56][57]
"Jamming" homo-hatred (disagreement with homosexual behaviors) was to be done by linking it to Nazi horror, advised Kirk and Madsen. Associate all who oppose homosexuality with images of Klansmen demanding that gays be slaughtered, hysterical backwoods preachers, menacing punks, and a tour of Nazi concentration camps where homosexuals were tortured and gassed. Thus, "propagandistic advertisement can depict homophobic and homohating bigots as crude loudmouths..."[58] " It can show them being criticized, hated, shunned. It can depict gays experiencing horrific suffering as the direct result of homohatred-suffering of which even most bigots would be ashamed to be the cause. It can, in short, link homohating bigotry with all sorts of attributes the bigot would be ashamed to possess, and with social consequences he would find unpleasant and scary... our effect is achieved without reference to facts, logic, or proof."[59]https://www.conservapedia.com/Homosexual_Agenda#Strategies_and_psychological_tactics
