They are attacking Candace with the Cassandra complex trope in fiction

The “Cassandra Truth” trope in movies is when a flawed or “crazy” person uncovers a massive conspiracy, but no one believes them because their past gets weaponized to discredit everything. Sound familiar? It’s exactly what’s happening with Mitch Snow and Candace Owens.

Take “Conspiracy Theory” (1997): Mel Gibson’s paranoid taxi driver rants about wild plots, so when he nails a real one involving the CIA, everyone dismisses him as unhinged. Or “12 Monkeys” (1995): Bruce Willis’s time-traveler warns of a virus apocalypse, but his erratic history lands him in psych wards—turns out he’s spot on.

Snow claims he stumbled on a secret Fort Huachuca meeting tied to Charlie Kirk’s assassination eve. Docs confirm he was detained there. But critics flood with his messy past (abuse allegations, military fibs) instead of probing the claims. It’s the trap: Smear the messenger, ignore the message. If he’s lying, prove it with facts—not character assassination. Don’t let Hollywood scripts play out in real life. Verify first.

The “Cassandra Truth” trope comes from Greek mythology: Cassandra, daughter of King Priam of Troy, was granted prophecy by Apollo but cursed so no one would believe her after she rejected him. She foretold Troy’s fall and disasters, yet was dismissed as mad. This evolved into the “Cassandra complex” in psychology (coined in 1949 by philosopher Gaston Bachelard, expanded by analysts like Laurie Layton Schapira), describing valid warnings ignored due to the messenger’s perceived unreliability.

It’s exactly what’s playing out with Mitch Snow and Candace Owens. Snow claims he stumbled on a secret Fort Huachuca meeting tied to Charlie Kirk’s assassination eve—docs confirm his detention there. But critics hammer his past (abuse claims, military issues) instead of investigating the allegations.

This is what all of us who know something very important and devastating fear, along with being killed or drugged into psychosis. Attacks like this are predictable and often work. They are a very strong indication that the story is serious and true, or mostly true. In most cases, dangerous stories are also complex and, typically, the perpetrators are better at weaving the coverup than we are seeing with this one. Expect a lot of swearing and screaming at the whistleblowers who are over the target as well. ABN
