It's #March4th, and for many QAnon followers, that means Trump is about to return to the White House.

This is based on a conspiracy that emerged in the wake of Biden's inauguration and takes inspiration from the sovereign citizen movement

vice.com/en/article/88a…
As the date approached and more media covered it, many major QAnon influencers dismissed the prediction, saying it was a "false flag" planted by the mainstream media to make QAnon look foolish.

Of course, by doing so, those same figures would avoid the backlash they faced on Jan. 20 from QAnon followers angry that Biden became president when they were told all along that this would never happen

Despite claims that Trump's hotel was jacking up prices to take advantage of QAnon supporters descending on DC for large-scale protests, there is very little evidence of any major protest being planned — publicly at least.

That said, the Capitol Police is boosting security today based on "obtained intelligence that shows a possible plot to breach the Capitol by an identified militia group on Thursday, March 4."

Reports say that group is the III%ers

There is not much chatter on Gab, Telegram, and forums like the Great Awakening this morning about March 4 events, though one GA member did mock the media coverage of the date with this post:

Sequim is a small town in Washington State that made headlines when its mayor publicly backed QAnon

But for the GOP operative who helped him get elected the outburst would have come as no surprise

In fact, it was one of the reasons he was picked to run

vice.com/en/article/k7a…
Donnie Hall, the GOP operative, would happily run another QAnon candidate so long as their views weren't too extreme — though his definition is extreme is questionable given he thinks Marjorie Taylor Greene is just misunderstood.

vice.com/en/article/k7a…
Hall even has advice for MTG:

"When she said what she said about the Jewish space lasers, I said ‘Oh, jeez,' but if she said something like Israeli space lasers I would’ve said, ‘Yeah, OK’, because who knows what Israel is up to in space.”

NEW from me:

Leaked Audio reveals how #Facebook moderators are terrified to return to the office during #COVID — but are being forced to do so anyway.

vice.com/en/article/z3v…
I obtained recording of several town halls held by Irish company Covalen, which Facebook uses to recruit hundreds of moderators.

Moderators during the call were clearly frustrated, angry and scared about being forced back to the office

vice.com/en/article/z3v…
On moderator, an immigrant who said she had no support in Dublin, book down in tears during the call:

“I think every day, if I lost my husband, if anything happened to me, who could take care of my six-year-old son?”

#Facebook own Oversight Board was announced 13mths ago but is yet to meet.

FBoversight, set up by academics, journalists, former FB employees & activists just weeks ago, met for the first time yesterday

And it's already claiming its first victory

vice.com/en/article/z3e… Image
The group was formed by @carolecadwalla because the actual Oversight Board was not going to deal with any #Election2020 issues — and the group felt this was a dangerous failing.

“We're talking about the fate of democracy in the largest democracy in the world. Through his action or inaction [Zuckerberg] allows American democracy to be destroyed. It is the last chance for him to get this right," @Moonalice, an early FB investor.

In Myanmar, #Facebook ignored warnings about hate speech inciting violence against the Rohingya. The result was a UN report saying said Facebook facilitated a genocide.

Now, in #Ethiopia, Facebook is making the same mistakes all over again

vice.com/en_us/article/…
After the assassination of singer Hachalu Hundessa in June, calls for genocide spread like wildfire on FB, often accompanied hours later by proof the acts had been carried out.

In the resulting clashes, hundreds died and thousands more were injured.

“When the violence erupts offline, online content that calls for ethnic attacks, discrimination, and destruction of property goes viral. FB's inaction helps propagate hate & polarization & has a devastating impact on the extent of the violence," @btayeg

Russia’s main opposition figure Alexei #Navalny is in a serious condition in hospital after his tea was allegedly poisoned.

“This is a targeted poisoning organized by the FSB and ordered by Vladimir Putin,” @Billbrowder told me.

vice.com/en_us/article/…
Navalny spokesperson @Kira_Yarmysh says “we suspect that Alexei was poisoned by something mixed into [his] tea” which he drank at an airport cafe in the Siberian city of Tomsk before boarding a flight to Moscow. Image
#Navalny fell ill on the flight and disturbing video footage being shared online shows him screaming in the bathroom. Emergency services take him off the plane after it makes an emergency landing.
