I guess this is one of the areas where I'm more cynical than you. I am aware of similar things done here, obviously not on the same scale, so please forgive my indulging in this. It wasn't that long ago that espousing the lab leak theory for Covid was considered a tin foil hate conspiracy.
I just don't tolerate conspiracy theories all that well. I know the way things spread around Washington; I know way too many staffers and bureaucrats in DC and have heard far too many things. Something at the level you are suggesting for Patriot Front to be a false flag operation would require way more people to be read in than would be critical mass for it to be contained. Really, when you think about it, my disbelief in conspiracy theories really boils down to my cynicism towards our government. I just don't believe them capable of pulling something like that off and keeping it quiet.
As for the lab leak theory, I always found that weird. I was actually brining that possibility up before anyone else was. It was in the earliest days when I laid out my reasoning for why I thought it came from a lab.
