In the lecture, professor Tom DeDonno, who chairs the Computer Information Management Department at Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, said the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection was staged to implicate Trump supporters, called the killing of Ashli Babbitt by Capitol Police during the attack a “joke” and said all of it is part of a larger campaign from the Chinese military to impose an “atheist theocracy” on the U.S.Saddleback, which is a public community college with about 20,000 students, launched the investigation following a complaint from a Long Beach student who also contacted the Post about the lecture.“The only problem is it’s not looking good for us.” Over the next 10 minutes, DeDonno described to his students how he believes the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol was a “false flag operation” that’s part of a current assault on this country by the Chinese military, which has “taken full control of our mass media, our mainstream media,” he said during the lecture.DeDonno also insisted that the Chinese military is using fifth-generation mobile networks, known as 5G, to “spy on Africans,” conspired with Mexican drug cartels to flood American streets with fentanyl and strongly hinted that COVID-19 is a biological weapon purposely released by the Chinese government.“At no point should we be discussing something like the January 6th attack, or individual freedoms and vaccines, and quite frankly, it’s disappointing that this person is a representation of this school,” the student said in the email."
