I look at the US prophets and ask myself, why do they feel the need to start expressing opinions on events before facts are known?
The answer I suspect is monetisation of You Tube videos. It is a huge incentive for someone who can't get work, and resorts to YT for an income, to start making videos that make ridiculous claims based on misrepresented facts. There are thousands of them on there, 99% are full of no evidence of anything, presenting co-incidence as fact, and building a whole fantasy around something that doesn't exist. The worrying thing is that the comments section then fills up with comments completely swallowing the fantasy, and demanding this that and the other. Some comments even develop into a self perpetuating fantasy with contributions from all and sundry, and inevitably the religious Jihadists seize their chance and start posting bible quotes that are beyond irrelevant. It's a rolling snowball that picks up a life of its own.
