Lucy Richards was arrested Monday for acting on her warped assumptions. Richards, indicted by a federal grand jury in Fort Lauderdale, was a so-called Sandy Hook "truther," subscribing to some freakish theory that the massacre of 20 elementary school children and six teachers on Dec. 14, 2012, was an elaborate hoax. That the killings never happened... Richards was charged with emailing a series of death threats to one of those parents...

Richards, 57, a Tampa resident, faces three felony counts for "transmitting threats through interstate communications." Three Florida men who've been the nation's leading promoters of this mendacious bunk face no such worries.

Trump has also been a guest on a talk show hosted by Alex Jones, America's leading propagator of insane conspiracy theories. "When I think about all the children Hillary Clinton has personally murdered and chopped up and raped, I have zero fear standing up against her," Jones said in a YouTube video posted two days before the election. "Yeah, you heard me right. Hillary Clinton has personally murdered children. I just can't hold back the truth anymore."

Jones has also described blood-drinking Satanic rituals practiced by the Clinton team. Our birther-in-chief famously told Jones on an earlier podcast, "Your reputation is amazing. I will not let you down."

Bad news: it wasn't just 2016; these trends don't stop until they blow up. See: the rise of the Third Reich; the French Revolution. Unfortunately, this garbage serves to discredit legitimate non-mainstream analysis (as we feature around here), which was illustrated vividly by the Washington Post's "blacklist"....
