New from me: QAnon’s New ‘Plan’? Run for School Board

nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news…
QAnon forums are imploring followers to run for school board or local office, pinning a Mike Flynn quote to “get involved in the education of our children” to the top of their page.

But they’re also reminding followers: don’t mention QAnon when you do it.
nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news…
QAnon conspiracy theories are crashing those now megaviral school board meetings: Masks are cover for child traffickers, Hollywood pedophiles are “carrying away our children.”

Some explicit Q followers are running for, and winning, school board seats.

nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news…
One Michigan mom who posted “Q ANON CONFIRMED” won a school board seat in Michigan this year.

When asked about Q, she said “there’s no such thing as QAnon.”

This is basically a recitation of a now frequently quoted Q drop: “There is no QAnon.”

nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news…
One popular post on a major Q forum last month had parenting advice for “QAnon Parents” in the title.

The top reply was quick to point out “there is no QAnon,” therefore no Q parents.

The branding is too toxic. But Q’s ideology is now everywhere.

I want to tell a quick story about Tucker Carlson, a small town in Maine, and a panic over “critical race theory” stoked with the help of Fox News and viral conservative websites.
Last year, Maine’s 51st school district put out a letter denouncing white supremacy after George Floyd's death.

One parent, Shawn McBreairty, took issue, saying it “essentially labeled all the community members from [his town] ‘white supremacists.’”

As you can see, it doesn’t.
Because of the letter, McBreairty quickly became convinced his daughters’ school was teaching Critical Race Theory.

He filed a Freedom of Information Act request and discovered the town had spent $12k for diversity training for its staff.

NEW and exclusive from me + @kevincollier:

As forgeries spread, CDC tells states to pull vaccination card templates from web

nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news…
Anti-vaxx, pro-Trump, and QAnon forums dug up vaccine card templates from the back ends of state websites, giving extremely detailed instructions on how to forge them.

The CDC told states last night to pull them down, citing misuse, NBC News has learned.
nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news…
The forged vaccine card instructions on sites like 4chan, TheDonald, and Q forums are super detailed, like thickness of the cardstock, printer resolution, even estimated vial numbers.

It could mess with verifying who's actually been vaccinated.

Whoops.
Update from Scott: Scott is claiming Scott is AI-generated, and therefore Scott is not Scott and Jorg is not Jorg. There is no Scott or Jorg, just a robot posing as Scott, and another robot who stole robot Scott's identity to pose as Jorg.
BTW, when he says "AI generated," he means his face, not his words. Scott/Jorg's face was pretty clearly made using thispersondoesnotexist.com.

This is how the Martin Aspen fake identity was created. Extremely easy thing to do.

I regret to inform you the following books have been canceled. Please purchase many copies before they are removed from Walden Books for being too good.

It is imperative you buy these books to get back at the dangerous hall monitors and censors who personally murdered Dr. Seuss.
Here's a beautiful book by my friend @TessaJeanMiller, about living a normal life in a body that doesn't want that.

It was canceled for being too well written. The censorship police must have taken it away, as it was not available at the JFK Hudson News.

I also recommend you pick up @katieengelhart's deeply researched and heartrending book on the right to die before the liberal gestapo raise the prices at Barnes & Noble, effectively canceling it.

A lot of people are asking me about QAnon and extremist-related threats tomorrow.

Nobody knows what will happen, but here's what we do know: There is considerably less public organization and open threats on the Capitol than there was in the run-up to 1/6. It's not comparable.
This is the kind of thing that was at the top of pro-Trump forums on 1/5. They were openly advocating for Civil War. QAnon people were talking about a hostile takeover because they thought they were the first step of a military coup that'd eventually be abetted by the military.
QAnon people, especially ones who were just in it to watch the season finale of their little story, do not want to be mixed up with something they now know could lead to direct violence.

So they're claiming talk of an attack on 3/4 is a false flag. They're pushing the date back.
