A organizer of a "Save Our Children" rally in Westford, MA claims her group has no QAnon ties.

In reality: the organizer herself has posted "WWG1WGA" in a Facebook QAnon group.

It's like they all got a memo that QAnon has too much baggage now.
westford.wickedlocal.com/news/20200914/…
Note to all newsrooms: 100% of "Save Our Children" rallies are actually QAnon rallies and if the organizers say otherwise, they're lying.

If you fail to report on the QAnon roots of these rallies, then you're just doing PR and recruitment for an online extremist movement.

Tomorrow, the film “Sound of Freedom” will hit theaters nationwide. There is a big push in right wing media to make this movie a hit. The film will almost certainly present a distorted image both of human trafficking and its protagonist Tim Ballad. deadline.com/2023/06/jim-ca…
In the film, Jim Caviezel portrays Tim Ballard, a real person who founded "Operation Underground Railroad" (OUR). OUR claims to combat sex-trafficking. However, investigations by Vice News discovered that OUR made misleading claims about the work it does.
vice.com/en/article/k7a…
For example, Tim Ballard has claimed that his organization helped rescue a woman named “Liliana.” Liliana is a real life human trafficking survivor. However, Ballard repeatedly told falsehoods about her story. in reality, Liliana escaped on her own.

Of course that’s your contention. You just started researching conspiracism. You just finished reading something that pathologizes the phenomena, Hofstadter probably, so you understand conspiracy theories through their connection to status anxiety and their aesthetic dimensions. Image
You're gonna be convinced of that 'til next month when you get to Ted Goertzel, and then you're gonna be talkin' about how “conspiracy beliefs comprise part of a monological belief system.” Image
That's gonna last until next year -- you're gonna be in here regurgitating Charles Pidgen, talkin' about, how conspiracy theories are no less worthy of belief than theories of other kinds. Thus the dispute is primarily a debate about which belief-forming strategy to adopt. Image

I find it helpful to remember two humbling facts. 1) Normal people don’t have a Twitter account. 2) 90% of Twitter users create just two tweets per month on average.
If you have a Twitter account and tweet several times a week, please understand you a weird person. You are not representative of the general population. There’s something wrong with you that isn’t wrong with normal people.

In 2020 QAnon-fuelled panic about child trafficking was so damaging to real life efforts to fight trafficking that 96 anti-trafficking nonprofits wrote an open letter condemning politicians who lend credence to QAnon conspiracy theories.

QAnon nonsense about child trafficking even hurt Christian organizations. They're forced to waste time addressing the paranoid imagination of conspiracists instead of actually helping children who need help.

The Polaris Project, which runs the Human Trafficking Hotline, produced a great report on QAnon conspiracy theories and how they inspire terrorism and damage efforts to help people in the real world.

Primus released their first new song in five years.

It's a twelve-minute prog jam about conspiracism that includes references to chemtrails, flat earth, anti-vaxx, anunnaki, JFK Jr. lives, and other conspiracy theories.
Since I failed to make it clear: the song is anti-conspiracism.

Primus frontman Les Claypool said in an interview that the song is inspired by watching divisions caused by "disinformation, misinformation, warped information, and flat-out fairy tales."

Merry Kitzmas!

Today is the 16th anniversary of the Kitzmiller v. Dover decision, which held that Intelligent Design Creationism is essentially religious and therefore teaching it in public school violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitzmille…
It wasn’t a given that Kitzmiller v. Dover would be ruled this way. In the 90s/2000s there was an organized push to corrupt public school education by teaching Intelligent Design.

This was executed through the “Teach the Controversy” campaign.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teach_the…
The movement to teach Intelligent Design in public school had powerful allies. President Bush advocated for the teaching of intelligent design in schools. Senator Rick Santorum tried to include “teach the controversy” language in a 2001 education bill.
