The funniest possible TV show is just a straight timeline of QAnon, but the main character is a random civil servant watching it unfold.

—"Finally, undeniable proof of the baby eating. Now the important part: Wait for around for 3 years."

—"Shouldn't we arrest them?"

—"…no."
"Mr. Trump is ready to publicly arrest the cabal for kidnapping and murdering children."

"Okay, cool, let's do this thing."

"No, we must allude to it with vague poems on a site otherwise used by adult diaper fetishists."
"Look, guys, I don't know about you, but the president taking down a cabal of child eaters seems urgent and… important? I really think he should be taking credit for this publicly instead of haikus on the diaper site. He'd be a hero."

"No, Mr. Trump is simply too humble."
So many fun characters:

An invincible Hillary Clinton who has developed Mothra-like strength.

A bedraggled JFK Jr. who shows up to work in a different disguise every day.

Hey Glenn,

Good to hear from you. I’ve got a few questions.

Should I not have talked to all of those doctors back in April and May who told me disinformation was killing their patients and ravaging their ERs?

nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news…
Should I not have discovered that secret meeting between Donald Trump and Mark Zuckerberg a year ago this week?

Here's a thread how the Dominion conspiracy theory went from QAnon to the president:

Q, the secret government insider they believe is taking down the Democrat child-eating cabal. didn't post for more than a week after the election.

This left a vacuum.

nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news…
That vacuum was filled in by random posts on 4chan, plus QAnon influencers on YouTube and Twitter, like the son of 8kun owner Ron Watkins.

Chan posters and Watkins floated the false idea that votes could be "flipped" using a Dominion's vote software.

nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news…
Since Watkins' dad owns 8kun and promotes QAnon for a living, his audience is enormously Q-heavy.

With Q absent, they started spamming his conspiracy theory on Twitter, like a substitute Q.

NEW from me + @BrandyZadrozny :

Pro-Trump operatives, some who were behind #WeBuildTheWall, coordinated those viral #StopTheSteal Facebook events.

Facebook shut them down.
nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news…
Facebook blocked #StopTheSteal from its search, so today's #StopTheSteal events found a new way to go viral on far-right Facebook:

Pro-Trump operatives from previous hashtag campaigns like #WeBuildTheWall used other groups to push users to #StopTheSteal.
nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news…
The "Stop the Steal" Facebook group was littered with calls to take up arms and a civil war.

350,000 people joined Stop The Steal, and promoted real-life events, before Facebook shut it down.

Its growth was not nearly as organic as it seemed.

We've reached out to Twitter about the president's tweets.
Twitter has added this label to the President's tweet:

"Some or all of the content shared in this Tweet is disputed and might be misleading about an election or other civic process.”

No comment yet from Twitter's spokespeople.

Hi friends! I'll be covering disinformation and extremist activity at NBC News with @BrandyZadrozny today.

Let us know if you're getting weird texts or if your Facebook group is on fire. (I mean, not in the usual way.)

DMs open. You are appreciated. We're all in this together.
New from @BrandyZadrozny:

Pennsylvania voters have been hit especially hard by online voter fraud misinformation today.

Conservative media influencers and Republican political operatives are tweeting misleading videos and photos from polling places.

From @JareenAI:

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said residents in Flint, MI received robocalls that allegedly told some people that if lines were too long on Election Day, voters could vote the following day, which is not true.

NEW from me + @BrandyZadrozny:

The Deepfake Peddling a Hunter Biden Dossier

nbcnews.com/tech/security/…
Months before the NY Post story, a document passed around far-right websites detailed a vast Hunter Biden conspiracy.

The document's creator, Martin Aspen, claimed to be a Swiss intel professional.

But Aspen's face was created by AI. He doesn't exist.

nbcnews.com/tech/security/…
A Hunter Biden-China dossier made the rounds among so many people in the rightwing internet. Steve Bannon, Newt Gingrich, even Q from QAnon.

It was created by a fake person with an AI-generated face.
