    This organisation and its reach is seriously scary. When the head of the New York Police Department's second-largest police union openly shows his support of this "organisation" then something is seriously wrong!


    The head of the New York Police Department's second-largest police union gave a television interview Friday afternoon while sitting in front of a mug emblazoned with QAnon imagery and slogans.

    The mug behind Mullins featured the word "QANON" and the hashtag #WWG1WGA, which stands for "where we go one, we go all," a popular slogan among QAnon supporters. At the center of the mug was a large letter Q, which refers to a supposed government insider who, according to QAnon supporters, posts cryptic clues on the Internet about the "deep state."


    More than a year ago, the FBI reportedly assessed that QAnon was a dangerous movement that was likely to inspire its most extreme members to commit violent acts of domestic terrorism.


    In recent weeks, QAnon supporters have been posting videos of themselves reciting an oath and repeating the "where we go one, we go all" catchphrase that is seen on the mug. They say they are preparing "digital soldiers" for an apocalyptic reckoning, when thousands of "deep state" pedophiles will be arrested and prosecuted at military courts at Guantanamo Bay.

    According to the complaint, Coleman said that he knew what he did was wrong but that "it was the only course of action that would save the world."

    It is strange. It's people that want to believe in anything, no matter how outrageous, to explain some things that aren't right in their minds. It's a psychological problem that we should try to address.

    Interesting article
    ==============

    Twenty years on, the skepticism and suspicion first revealed by 9/11 conspiracy theories has metastasized, spread by the internet and nurtured by pundits and politicians like Donald Trump. One hoax after another has emerged, each more bizarre than the last: birtherism. Pizzagate. QAnon.

    “Look at where it’s gone: You have people storming the Capitol because they believe the election was a fraud. You have people who won’t get vaccinated and they’re dying in hospitals,” Rowe says. “We’ve gotten to the point where information is actually killing people.”

    There were, of course, conspiracy theories before 9/11 happened – John F. Kennedy’s assassination, the moon landing, a supposed 1947 UFO crash in Roswell, New Mexico. And the country’s interest in alternative, fringe theories was on the rise before 9/11, exemplified by the 1990s show “The X-Files,” with its taglines of “The truth is out there” and “trust no one.” But it was 9/11 that heralded our current era of suspicion and disbelief and revealed the internet’s ability to catalyze conspiracy theories.

    “Conspiracy theories have always been with us, and it’s just the means of sharing them that has changed,” says Karen Douglas, a psychology professor at the University of Kent in England who studies why people believe such explanations. “The internet has made conspiracy theories more visible and easy to share than ever before. People can also very quickly find like-minded others, join groups, and share their opinions.”

    Conspiracy theories about the attack and its aftermath also gave early exposure to some of the same peoplepushing hoaxes and unfounded claims about COVID-19, vaccines and the 2020 election, including Alex Jones, the Trump-supporting publisher of Infowars, who has accused the United States of plotting the attacks and has said the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting was a hoax. Jones was a co-producer of the third edition of “Loose Change.”……

     
    In case anyone wants to see original sources, there is a searchable database. There is a thread explaining it also. They did not include images as most were disgusting images of racism, anti Semitism or mass murder of the “elite”.

     
    This could go in several other topics, but what do you get when you cross Mike Lindell with Jim Bakker?
    If you answered a 3 day "Take Back What The Devil Stole From You." marathon to sell pillows while talking election fraud conspiracy theories, you would be correct!



    "They were coming, and I'm going, 'Oh God,' I thought, 'They're gonna kill me. They're going to put me and hang me,'" Lindell said. He did not specify who he thought was going to kill him. When reached by Insider, Lindell did not reply to our requests for comment regarding his statements in the telethon event.

    On the third day of the broadcast, Lindell went on to baselessly claim the "Sidney Powells and Rudy Giulianis" of America had evidence of election fraud.
     
    I almost feel sorry for that pillow guy.

    At best, he is going to end up penniless; in a ditch, without any way of ever removing that mountain of a financial burden that he’s about to receive. I mean, they are going to take everything and then garnish his wages (if he can even find a job) for life.

    At worst, is all that is going to happen but he is also guilty of crimes so he gets to go to jail first.

    Like I said, I almost feel bad. Almost.

    Does Vegas take odds on people offing themselves? He needs to smother himself with one of his own pillows; that would be epic.

    That would make one hell of a slogan, though. "My Pillow gives you the ultimate rest."

    My only hope is that he has to share a plastic blanket covered in feces with Trump in some ditch near Dallas.
     
    why does it take these companies so long to cut these nut jobs loose? A lot of damage is already done now.

     
    Going global

    PARIS (AP) — The old music box factory had been abandoned for years on the outskirts of the Swiss mountain town, with paint curling at the edges of its dingy grey and yellow walls.

    It was the perfect hiding place for the young French mother and her 8-year-old daughter at the heart of Operation Lima, an international child abduction plot planned and funded by a French group with echoes of the far-right extremist movement QAnon.

    Lola Montemaggi had lost custody of her daughter, Mia, to her own mother months earlier because French government child protective services feared the young woman was unstable.

    Montemaggi found people online who shared the QAnon belief that government workers themselves were running a child trafficking ring. Then she turned to her network to do what she needed to do: Extract Mia.


    The April 13 kidnapping of the girl from her grandmother’s home marked what is believed to be the first time that conspiracy theorists in Europe have committed a crime linked to the QAnon-style web of false beliefs that sent hundreds to storm the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

    It shows how what was once a strictly U.S. movement has metastasized around the world, with Europol, the European umbrella policing agency, adding QAnon to its list of threats in June.

    QAnon influence has now been tracked to 85 countries, and its beliefs have been adapted to local contexts and languages from Hindi to Hebrew……..
