I am not familiar with the October Surprise theory, I will look into it. I see that Frontline (which is funded by the government) has a special on it...which is odd because PBS is government funded and it is a conspiracy theory about the government haha. Manchurian Candidate seems possible because of how unusual this case is. This guy had a job as an accountant and had no history of any criminal activity, although his father was allegedly a bank-robber.

I agree that he does not fit the profile of somebody acting on behalf of ANTIFA or ISIS, although many sources are now claiming that FBI are claiming he had connections to ANTIFA. We will see though.

I disagree about "white men" being predisposed to unhinged acts of terrorism disproportionately to other races. Many statistics of "White-male" terrorism are skewed because minor petty misdemeanors are included as "terrorism" while other violent acts are not, and those statistics also ignore the fact America was 90% white prior to the 1960's.
