Fire officials later confirmed that preliminary analysis shows that the fire was intentionally set.
From that determination, it's pretty easy to blame anti-abortion activists for the violence. Almost too easy. That is because the story corroborates our pre-existing biases.
Spokesman.com indicated that the fire followed a "wave of protests at Planned Parenthood clinics," and noted that on "Aug. 22, an estimated 500 protesters gathered outside the Pullman clinic." The cub reporters at Spokesman.com somehow failed to mention that on August 22, hundreds of thousands of protesters demonstrated at more than three hundred Planned Parenthoods.
Karl Eastlund, CEO of Planned Parenthood of Greater Washington and North Idaho, called the arson a "predictable ripple effect from the recent false and incendiary attacks that fuel violence from extremists."
Washington governor Jay Inslee displayed his temperance and reasoning ability by calling the arson "a senseless act of violence" and added that it was "deeply disappointing that we still see the kind of hateful rhetoric in our state that fuels this kind of violence." It appears Gov. Inslee has solved the case all by himself.
And Planned Parenthood wasn't about to let a good crisis go to waste. They tweeted:
Planned Parenthood patients will always come first. You can donate to @PPGWNI here: http://t.co/c49N9r52Wy pic.twitter.com/2nHX4YecMM

Notice how the tweet directs people right to their donation page.That little trick reminded me of their website "hack" back in July. Slate called it a DDOS attack, and printed a mewling tweet by Planned Parenthood claiming that their "health website is under attack by anti-abortion extremists."
The website "hack" occurred right after Planned Parenthood hired public relations firm SKDKnickerbocker to do damage control. Many people pointed out that the website "hack" appeared to be part of the spin. Stephen Miller pointed out that their "site is so hacked right now that someone has been rearranging CSS fonts and alignment." Further investigation revealed that the web page announcing the "hack" was listed as a "'Campaign' and used a specific template named 'Site Down Tempalte.'"(sic)
Thus, Planned Parenthood has demonstrated their willingness and ability to false flag, and the willingness to take political advantage over their "victim" status. The web page announcing the "hack" also redirected visitors to a fundraising portal.
I'm not saying that it is impossible that an anti-abortion activist started the Pullman fire. But it is highly unlikely. The anti-abortion movement is all about the sanctity and dignity of all life. There is nothing to be gained from violence, as it will harden the hearts of the abortionistas.
A false flag is a low-risk operation, too. If the leftist operator is caught, all they have to do is claim that they were trying to raise awareness of violence against abortion providers.
Plus, it is those on the progressive, radical left that are enamored of violence. I seem to recall a guy named Bill Ayers, who set bombs with the Weather Underground. And where is Ayers today? Retired professor, University of Illinois.
