Gee, how did I know you'd be along to spew?
Evidence? You mean they exposed Putin's incompetent meddling? Ah, more of usual attempt to smear. |

I would also like to see a citation for this claim about MI6.
This, in case anyone else was wondering, is an anti-hate speech and anti-Nazi group. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amadeu_Antonio_Foundation I can't find any reference to them working with FB as fact-checkers, and, even if they did, they would presumably be involved in countering anti-semitism and hate speech, rather than actual fact-checking. Again, CE needs to provide some kind of evidence for this assertion. https://www.belltower.news/antisemit...cebook-123575/ CE is being naughty here. Kahane was an informer (not an agent) from 1974-1982- like many East Germans. However, she stopped this, and joined the opposition after that. Since 1988, she has been active in supporting human rights, and in combatting far-right extremism, which is presumably where CE finds an issue. Agsin, citation required, as I can't find any reference to this. I'm not sure how the German government is allowed to put people onto FB anyway: how does that work, then? People working to combat hate speech, anti-semitism and far-right extremism are a 'despicable bunch'? That says a lot about you, Childlike Empress, it really does. |

"JFK Jr is alive" QAnon crowd on their way to the Dallas Christmas parade yesterday. I wonder why there are so many women (in the group of about 30). |

Unfortunately, because that's how cults with charismatic male leaders often work. Especially given his target audience of boomers; he seems more likely to find women seeking ... something.
I hope that they were mostly recovered from Covid before they made the trip. They were allegedly coughing up a storm at the Hyatt for the days preceding this parade. |

You could quibble about whether or not Q-anon more broadly is a cult, but it seems pretty clear that the Dallas crew surrounding "Negative 48" is a full blown cult. They've been hanging around now for a month and seem completely convinced some sort of Messiah event (in the form of JFK and JFK jr returning) is going to happen imminently.
There are numerous accounts of family members of those sucked into this thing and it's extremely grim. QAA podcast had a recent episode about the "Negative 48" sect including an interview with the sister of a woman who abandoned her life to hang out in Dallas. It's very sad. |

Speaking of Messiah events, at least one of these characters in the Negative 48 cult allegedly took a field trip to Waco to see David Koresh's church.

Thanks, BazBear.
So Protzman's username is Negative48. What a sad and dangerous person. More about him from Vice: https://www.vice.com/en/article/g5qp...man-negative48 |

It's part of their numerology thing. Evil is E V I L = 5+22+9+12=48
He's the opposite of evil, so negative 48. That's the whole shtick, he decodes Trump tweets and Q drops with this dumb numerology **** and assumes these are divine messages or whatever. The QAA interview is worth a listen if you want to know who these people are before the mass suicide: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas...=1000543581867 |

Listening now. Thanks.
Subscribed to @2021_Karma on Twitter (an Australian who tunes into the cult's live chats and reports on them). Reminds me of my days on Freedom Crow's Nest, a woo forum. So Negative48 is/was staying in the Hyatt Penthouse. I wonder if he's paid upfront. Do we know if he's earning much from this malarkey? They're smoking weed, and taking "gummies" and they don't know what's in them. Protzman doesn't sleep for days. This is all fuel for psychosis, says Captain Obvious. They're all waiting for "The Ball" - some magical event that hasn't got a date or place. I'm about 40 minutes into it, and that's enough crazy for me. |

The Q conspiracy documentary on C4 is interesting, but it’d be much better with Curb Your Enthusiasm music, rather than standard doom and gloom and sinister threat.

The authority figure of "Q" was the only thing keeping this herd of cats together. With them gone, it's no surprise it's splintering off into a variety of nutty sub-groups.

I just saw this on Snopes. There's a doctored video being passed around purporting to show a child handing President Biden a vial of fresh blood to drink.
Needless to say, the vial was digitally edited into the video. |

Optimism vs mental illness.
Eight Year Goal Post (reddit.com) How could anyone possibly believe something this ridiculous? I know that QAnons are low-hanging fruit, but for crying out loud, is reality so inaccessible to them? |

It's hard to let go of one's Q delusions.
Why do they keep living like this, just accept you were wrong and move on with your life. How is this better? eugh (reddit.com) Their dream died long ago, and yet here they are still desperately trying to dream it. The coup failed. Trump failed. Q failed. I'm afraid that these people will still be moaning about it years from now. |
