New: There's a list of "puzzling questions" about the murder of George Floyd going around conspiracy theory sites and Facebook. They're nonsensical, irrelevant, and designed only to muddy the waters of the case.
Some versions of the "puzzling questions" lists have 14 questions, others have 20, others go on and on for well over 100. Most are either easily answered, or have no answer. Few have any relevance. But conspiracy theorists love lists of questions.
"Just asking questions" about an incident is a trademark of conspiracy theorists who want you to think that what you're being told by the media is all a hoax. But most of these questions aren't sinister - they're just pedantic. #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd
The conspiracy theories about LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND being "predictive programming" from the Obamas for an upcoming cyberattack epitomize why conspiracy theories always fall apart - they absolutely lack even basic logic... 1/
(some spoilers ahead)
The theory is that the film, showing the early stage of a massive multi-pronged electronic and kinetic attack on the US and co-produced by the Obamas, is "preparing" us for societal collapse through subliminal messages meaning the Obamas know such an attack is imminent. 2/
Twitter and Reddit are going DEEP on finding symbols and hidden meanings - including that the daughter's obsession with the TV show FRIENDS is connected somehow to Matthew Perry's death, that it includes hidden pro-Ukraine massages, and has a hidden anti-white narrative. 3/
My latest for @dailydot: new Speaker of the House Mike Johnson helped Young Earth Creationist Ken Ham win a lawsuit that sent Kentucky sales tax to help fund a giant replica of Noah's Ark. Johnson also wrote an op-ed that appears to endorse YEC beliefs.
Young Earth Creationists believe the planet is around 10,000 years old, and that dinosaurs and humans co-existed. Even among creationists, YEC is a fringe belief - except that the man second in line to the White House has endorsed it.
The Biblical literalism that Johnson endorses is used to justify slavery, spousal abuse, and segregation. As Speaker, Johnson will be able to shape how the House handles science and technology - while believing Noah's Ark was full of dinosaurs.
Travis Ikeguchi has been identified as the man who shot and killed Lauri Carleton over her pride flag. Based on his limited twitter activity, Ikeguchi was anti-gay, antivax, antisemitic, anti-choice, and an RFJ Jr. fan.
Among Ikeguchi's twitter follows were former president Trump, OANN, and conspiracy theorist podcast and one-time Alex Jones crony David Knight.
Ikeguchi was obsessed with calling people pedophiles, believed Michelle Obama is a man, and thought the military was going to take over the country.
Just in the last few days, both Elon Musk and Jim Caviezel have referenced conspiracy theories about the Rothschilds. JEWISH SPACE LASERS, out 9/19, tells the story of the myths and hoaxes about this once-powerful family, and why they matter today.
Rothschild hoaxes began in the 1840s, drove waves of antisemitic violence and panic, and are still exploited by conspiracy cranks, pundits, hate preachers, and grifters when a powerful Jewish family is needed to "pull the strings" on world events.
The biggest cranks of the last 200 years have exploited the Rothschild myth. JEWISH SPACE LASERS unpacks where it started, how it spread, why it gained power even as the Rothschilds lost theirs, and how it spawned the Soros attack industry.
With a Trump indictment looming, what I'm seeing in far right/QAnon social are a few calls for civil war and violence, but much more copium and "the left is falling into Trump's trap" from bigger accounts. Plus some standard "any violence is a false flag" stuff.
Things have changed since J6, and far more people on the right are just bored with Trump and tired of his antics. It could all go south, of course. But so far, it's a lot of "this is exactly what we want" and very little Fort Sumter 2.0.
Remember when the Mar-a-Lago search was going to guarantee a Red Wave and a Great Awakening of support for Trump in the 2022 midterms? It did not.
Anyone considering working with Jim Stewartson should understand who he really is. These screen grabs are just the first page of blog posts he's written about me. None are photoshopped or taken out of context - all are fabricated, untethered from reality, and likely defamatory.
You can see him "debate" a picture of me, accuse me of perjury, blame me for a murder, claim I helped start QAnon, and say I "protect" Mike Flynn. If that's okay with you, then okay. But this is the behavior you're platforming. And I am FAR from the only one he does it to.
I don't like drama, and I don't talk about this stuff on main normally. But I also have a reputation to protect, and this kind of abuse is unacceptable. If anyone wants to know more about me or what I do, my DM's are open. Otherwise, I have work to do that isn't on Twitter.
