I just got a full-conspiracy ad from Gaia in my FB.

"Learn about the Great Pyramids, lost civilizations, ancient alien influence"

"Find out what you were never supposed to know. "

"uncover the secrets and misinformation of the mainstream narrative"
Gaia is transparently targeting the Pastel QAnon (cf. @_MAArgentino) community, trying to draw in Yoga mums and hippie-curious types with promises of uncovering the secrets that the MSM keep from you.
@_MAArgentino Gaia's active ads include a video on new-age alien beliefs like "Pleiadians, Arcturians, Sirians, and the Annunaki" and a mini-feature, narrated by Mickey Rourke, with Area 51 conspiracy king Bob Lazar.
@_MAArgentino by coincidence, @dappergander just wrote about Lazar in his article about Project Looking Glass and its role in QAnon patreon.com/posts/project-…
Gaia just hit the headlines for hiring Demi Lovato as a spokesperson. @willsommer wrote it here. But it was jarring to see them pushing this stuff via paid Facebook promotions.

Though I totally want the baby alien from the video.

So I'm pretty deep in conspiracy theory lore, but... what is an address on the Finchley Road in London doing on this list?
Looks like that address, 788-790 Finchley Road, is or was the home of A1 and a few other "company factories" which register companies and transfer them for a fee. That means it's the registered address for a LOT of companies (260,000!). But... so what?

hamhigh.co.uk/news/finchley-…
OK. So there's a whole conspiracy theory claiming that this address on the Finchley Road is linked with a paedophile plot led by David Cameron to steal nuclear weapons from apartheid South Africa. This one predates QAnon by a few years.

So this company RightForge claims it will host Trump's new social network. Not sure if it's true or a PR stunt, but it deserves a bit of a look. axios.com/trump-social-n…
Sean Patrick Tario, one of RightForge's founders, says they're trying to be a 'backbone provider' for right-wing sites. He claims they have physical datacentres in the US, run by equity partners in the business.

There seems to be significant crossover with Open Spectrum. The LinkedIn profiles of several RightForge employees shows a back-and-forth between the two companies. openspectruminc.com/about-us/

Netanyahu to his Knesset caucus: "I left the barbers and I couldn’t even move. People were standing outside, the whole neighborhood crowded in, and people were shouting, people were crying, people were yelling…"

What actually happened:
Yup, two or three people stopped to talk to him.

He told his caucus "I don’t remember anything like this… I’ve been around for many years… there is huge enthusiasm, and an enormous expectation that we will soon return to power."
The younger men on either side are his bodyguards, btw. It's all a bit Trumpy, exaggerating enthusiasm and crowd sizes.

This claim is becoming widespread in anti-vax MAGA circles. If the vaccine is deadly and Covid is just a cold, how come so many unvaccinated people keep dying of Covid? This is their explanation: hospitals are killing them on purpose.
On the flip-side, some of them claim that hospitals are secretly treating vaccinated people with Ivermectin, to make it *look* like the vaccines work, while offing all the unvaccinated.

I hadn't seen the kidney thing specifically but, of course, one known outcome of severe Covid is kidney damage due to tiny blood clots.

As pitch decks go, Trump's "we aim to challenge Facebook in social media, Netflix and Disney in the VOD market, and AWS, Azure, GCP and Stripe in the cloud infrastructure and payments spaces" is... well, you'd get laughed out the room.
But that infrastructure bit IS interesting as @qjurecic notes.
Trump's alt-Right tech stack won't be competing with AWS, though. It'll be competing with Rob Monster's Epik. Just like he won't be competing with Netflix, but rather with Rumble. Image

Sexual assault is real and dangerous, but the claim that loads women being *injected* with some kind of drug in clubs, and then just ignored by the attacker afterwards who doesn't attempt to touch them further, has the smell of a moral panic.
Of course, massive amounts of drink spiking happens, and most of it is with alcohol. If you ever bought someone a double vodka and coke when they asked for a single, and didn't tell them, you've spiked a drink.
Drink spiking with sedatives or inhibition-relaxing drugs happens, but it's thankfully rare. This 2005 study found those drugs used in only 2% of self-reported spiking cases over a 3-year period.
