NEW with @J_A_Horton @ChrisSGiles and @alistaircoleman

Lawyer Sidney Powell has released the #Kraken in her Georgia and Michigan lawsuits, hailed by QAnon supporters as irrefutable evidence of voter fraud.

We read both, and here's what we found in them.

Some of the claims in the 200 pages have already been rejected in court cases, while others - such as accusations that voting machines are part of a plot originating under former Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez - are not backed up with any credible evidence.

But thanks to QAnon supporters, #Kraken has gone viral.

On Twitter, there have been nearly 100K tweets referencing Kraken in the last 48 hours.

On Facebook there have been just over 1M interactions involving the word Kraken since Wednesday evening.

A key piece of evidence is provided in a sworn statement by a "Dominion whistleblower", but their name is hidden.

Legal experts say if a witness is put forward, their testimony needs to be challenged, which can't be done if their identity is concealed.
bbc.co.uk/news/election-…
Ms Powell says Dominion doesn't allow "a simple audit to reveal its misallocation, redistribution, or deletion of votes" - so the evidence is "rendered virtually invisible".

But Dominion machines provide a paper ballot back-up to verify results.

BREAKING: The YJC news agency, closely linked to the state broadcaster, reports Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, known as the main brain behind Iran's nuclear programme, has been assassinated.

But Behrouz Kamalvandi, spokesperson of the Atomic Energy Organisation, denies any such incident.
Iran's Tasnim new agency, closely affiliated to the Revolutionary Guards, and Press TV, the state broadcaster's English language news channel, are also reporting Mr Fakhrizadeh has been assassinated.
Now also reported by IRINN, state TV's 24-hour news network.

The report says the assassination took place near Damavnd, a city very close to the capital Tehran.

This is an amazing story.

A physical science professor at Ferris State University was placed on administrative leave after a student-run newspaper found he's repeatedly called Covid a hoax, posted anti-vaxx content, and said the moon landing, HIV and atomic bombs are fake.
In his tweets he claims Covid is a hoax and an "attempt to destroy Christianity", suggests the Mossad might have "blackmailed" Trump, says abortion is "ritual child scarifice" where "the fetal tissue is eaten by cannibals and vampires" and "fed to us in Pepsi and vaccines". ImageImageImageImage
There are also some tweets with racial slurs which I'm not going to share.

I've seen tweets in which he's been referred to as a QAnon believer, but I can't find any evidence of that.

In fact, here, in response to British QAnon influencer Martin Geddes, he calls it a "psyop". Image

Twitter is suspending the accounts of a number of influential QAnon followers tonight.

Among them is major QAnon influencer "RedPill78" who had 160,000 followers. His YouTube channel was removed just a week ago.
As @AlKapDC points out, Edge of Wonder's YouTube channel was also taken down last week.

Their Facebook page and Instagram account - with 230,000 and 28,000 followers respectively - are up at the moment. But they are warning their followers to expect the worst.
@RedPill78 not very happy about his suspension from Twitter, as you'd expect.

"Twitter just nuked me, I am officially a 100% Gab user. F*** Twitter, F*** Jack, F*** Media Matters and F*** their surrogates. Last tweet," he posted on Gab.

I'm thinking about doing a series of deep dives about some of the most bizarre communities and oddest characters the global rise of QAnon in 2020 has attracted.

There are odd, fascinating Q circles in the UK, South Korea, the Netherlands, Japan, Germany and Iran, to name a few.
The Iranian QAnon online community is led by a former state TV game show host who fled nearly a decade ago despite being a high-profile celebrity. He now leads a "Make Iran Great Again" movement from the US and wants to become the next leader of Iran with President Trump's help
Then there's Joseph Gregory Hallett, or King John III, as he refers to himself, a middle-aged man from New Zealand who genuinely believes he is the actual King of England and will reclaim the throne from the Queen when "the storm" comes. @QanonAnonymous did an episode about him
