If the latest shit is true, I wonder if the payment part was as badly planned as the rest of it. Like payment by check or a $3,500 bank withdrawal on Jan. 28th.

I can see Jussie killing himself if the pressure gets to be too much.
If it turns out that he did orchestrate this whole mess, it shows two things:
1)He's not mentally stable and made this whole thing up.
2)He's not mentally stable and may not be able to handle the consequences of his actions.

Fuck around and in his own mind think that, "I'll die as a martyr." SMH
I won't lose an ounce of sleep if this circus peanut offs himself.

They do watch even if in secrecy. I work with a chick who tries to be undercover prejudiced but her man is flat out racist. Well, she waits to watch Empire on her computer at work the following morning to avoid her man knowing that she watches it.

Yea....I'm not buying that there's a large secret sect of Trump supporters, who knew Smolett PRIOR to this incident.

I was doing my own research a month ago. The rabbit hole is deep man. On any major site with open commenting, the bots are wild. I think we're all still underestimating how much of the vitriol is driven by Russian bots.

Seriously, most of the social media outrages came from some cyber farm. Its a way of changing behavior.

and it works. I found an obvious "pro-trump" troll, but he was clearly a professional troll. I found one of his accounts that pretty much patrolled all the major political sites. All he did was stir up divisions in the comments. What made me flag it and do cross reference other sites it that I noticed sometimes he would be trolling 'pro-trump" commentators. So he was running dual cycles...one was promoting pro-trump positions and then the other was posting stuff that would anger trump supporters... even to the point of directly antagonizing them as stupid 'deplorables", etc. When that's done on a large scale, it's a huge psyche-op that's literally making the U.S. populace more extreme in real-time. It's crazy to watch.

If you noticed with me, I've laid off talking about politics as much as I used to.

Social media is being used to drastically change behaviors, and create deep divisions. China already starting a social credit system *black mirror style*. Russia is divided just like us, and those divisions are manipulating our divisions. It's a cluster fuck to be completely honest.

Imagine having to "check in" online as your identifiable self.
Trolldom would decrease about 30-40%.
But even then, people are so numb (dumb) to influence, injustice and blatant lies that it wouldn't really matter if they knew operatives were hopping all around starting shit.
They'd just give it a cute nickname and keep it moving. SMH

Why would he do something like this?
So what if they were writing him off Empire?
He has a music career plus he already has starring roles in high profile films.Im sure he has or would have plenty of work in Hollywood lined up.
I don't understand it plus it's extremely disrespectful to people of color with valid cases of assault !!

And if we are to believe this scenario?

The producers NEVER explicitly TOLD him he was OUT...

he did this on gossip?!?!?!

JUSSIE SMOLLETT
'EMPIRE' ROLE SLASHED
... IN WAKE OF 'ATTACK' SCANDAL

http://tmz.com/#!article/2019/02/19/jussie-smollett-empire-role-slashed-alleged-attack/

Jussie Smollett's "Empire" screen time is getting slashed in the wake of a growing sentiment that he staged the so-called "attack."

Production sources tell TMZ ... Jussie was supposed to have 9 scenes and a big musical number in the second to the last episode -- which is being shot now -- but, 5 of his scenes have been cut, and his musical number has been 86'd.

As for the remaining 4 scenes ... we're told he's no longer the focus. The scene features an ensemble, meaning he's flanked by a number of cast members.

With his duties pared down, Jussie will be spending way less time on set. Instead of working every day this week, we're told Jussie's working Friday and possibly Thursday, and he won't be rehearsing.

Where are all those LGBT groups, who were probably behind this whole thing, at now to save him???

I'm not going to say I knew something was fishy, because honestly I didn't know. But I know that I pumped the brakes before jumping all in on this attack, because part of it did sound fishy. I mean, it literally hit all of the check marks for a stereotypical hate crime. And it's not like I don't think that there are idiots capable of this kind of thing, but it seemed to lack a certain cohesiveness.

Now honestly? I still kinda want the cops to be wrong, because I don't want to believe that a guy that had so much going for him would be unstable enough to risk it all staging a hoax attack like this (especially one so poorly executed). But on the other hand, I can't see where the police department would spread info expressing their doubts if they didn't have some solid evidence that represented that. They have to know that any attempt at fuckery will get exposed at some point, too.

At the end of the day, someone just straight up tried to be stupid, and I'm just glad I didn't go all in when the first reports came out. I just got tired of being halfway to outraged and then finding out more details made that all unnecessary. That shit's exhausting.

That’s the thing. It’s not the cops being right. It’s the evidence. The story was unbelievable from the start.
