A young Kelly Loeffler staffer named Harrison Deal was killed in a car crash today. And because Q believers are grief-addicted ghouls, they're already creating a conspiracy theory that he was murdered by Brian Kemp or Barack Obama or someone. Deal was 20.
A 20-year-old person dying in a car crash is not "comms" or a "deep state message." It's a tragedy. Only someone absolutely numb to all human feeling would think otherwise.
They're already comparing Deal to Seth Rich and Michael Hastings. I'm not screen capping it because it's disgusting. These people need a hug and to spend a week without technology.
The people who have turned Seth Rich's death into a lucrative conspiracy theory would have hated Seth Rich in real life.
From what I've read, Deal was the boyfriend of Governor Kemp's daughter. This is a horror show for both families, and the churn of conspiracy theories about "what really happened" will make an unbearable tragedy even worse for them.
When the worms have eaten your brain, they move on to your heart.

I hate to say it, but conspiracy movements like QAnon rarely "end." Some of the precursor scams and tropes that fed into Q have been going for decades. People will drift away, but the core values of Q - distrust of authority and need for enemies to be punished - are eternal.
That's not to say that we shouldn't be pushing back against it, exposing its falsehoods, and trying to help people get out of it. We should be. But expecting that work to lead to Q "ending" will only lead to disappointment.
Expecting Q to "end" implies that people will suddenly stop thinking they have powerful enemies, and will stop looking for order in chaos. That's never going to end. It might just go by a different name.

Sidney Powell has released the krak...uh...oh.
Hugo Chavez is kraken-speak for Benghazi.
"The kraken" appears to be a 100 page long request that Governor Kemp declare Trump won Georgia, because of Hugo Chavez's voting machines. I'm merely an unfrozen caveman lawyer, but I don't see this plane flying.

A really big step forward in the deplatforming of QAnon, but Q promoters are excellent at ban evasion. And when Twitter took sweeping steps against Q in July, they quickly petered out and were evaded by Q followers who latched onto "save the children" conspiracy theories.
QAnon is a cockroach. It survives. It survives bans, deplatforming, the persistent silences of its avatar, constant disconfirmations, and countless failed predictions.

It survives because it fills a hole in the lives of its believers, and makes them feel important and powerful.
Figuring out why people cling to Q is just as important as trying to pry it out of their hands. Maybe more important. But as long as Q is treated like a social media curiosity rather than a philosophical cause, they'll continue to cling. And we'll always be a step behind it.

QAnon believers think the president is pretending to go into quarantine because The Storm Is Upon Us For Real This Time Just Like All The Other Times.
The drops they're citing are from the earliest days of Q. They've been disconfirmed time and time again. But folks never give up the hope of the streets running red with the blood of the nonbelievers. Ergo, it's back to the start.
Trump got the covid TO GET HER. Because you can't spell quarantine without Q.

Another *potentially* QAnon-linked child kidnapping appears to be in progress in Utah. The woman in question has posted on FB about Q and vaccine conspiracy theories, and is also in the sovereign citizen movement.

Ms. Jolley's FB page seems normal. Lots of posts about her holistic healing practice. But then its conspiracies all the way down: a PragerU video about COVID, the "Google any three numbers" COVID meme, a post about how great NESARA will be, and of course, Hillary eating babies. ImageImageImageImage
She's anti-vax, anti-GMO, anti-Bill Gates, and very passionate about child trafficking and kidnapping. Including, apparently, her own. ImageImageImageImage

I'm not putting up the screen grabs, but the newest QAnon drops appear to be simply doxxing random people Q thinks are ANTIFA members, including addresses, using data put together by a right wing crank who often contributes material to Gateway Pundit.
Between QAnon's bloodlust entering the mainstream, hysteria about BLM/antifa causing the protests and fires, and the child trafficking moral panic gripping the country; it's clear that many Americans are truly frantic for the opportunity to start killing their neighbors.
These aren't kooks in fallout shelters. These are your co-workers, neighbors, and friends. And there's a good chance that if you're liberal, one of them thinks you're either a pedo, a Soros-funded communist, or a deep state agent. And they're in a blood frenzy over it.
