Think back to the joy we felt at this moment, now co-opted by antivax cranks, "health freedom" grifters, "concerned moms" living fat off far-right dark money, social media influencers lying through their teeth, and an endless parade of fake horror stories and conspiracy theories.
Margaret Keenan is now 91, and has gotten two shots and a booster. She hasn't puked black blood, become magnetic, dropped dead of a heart attack, gotten eaten by nanobots, or had their brain explode from a clot.
Meanwhile, countless antivax shock jocks and grifters died gasping for air as COVID annihilated their lungs, accompanied only the buzz of machines soon used by someone else, and the exhausted sighs of medical professionals who wish they'd just gotten the vaccine.
I did my part by getting the vaccine and the booster. So did my family and my friends. And I'm increasingly uninterested in hearing the smug conspiracy theories and denial of those who think they're too special to do the same.

I joined the #Negative48 live chat and it still astonishes me just how their tone and content is identical to the NESARA/dinar community. They talk about vibrations and energy and "great things" coming and to hold on and fight evil.

Those scams have been running for DECADES.
There's a lot of talk about people falling off and losing faith, and being real vs. fake. It does seem like some people are drifting away from the group - but many are digging in deeper.
I didn't hear it, but apparently Protzman was on the chat and someone violated etiquette in some way and displeased him, and he left. So now they're falling all over each other to praise him and go through all the things that please and displease him.

Re: Tucker Carlson/Hunter Biden. Why, as a journalist who exposes frauds, did I write about emails that haven't been confirmed as real?

Because when you report on fringe characters, you might not get the confirmation you want. So you trust your experience and your instinct.
Everything in these emails fits with what we know about the friendship between Tucker and Hunter. The timing matches. The chain of custody is a mess, but again, these are fringe characters. Their doings are never clean, so you go with what you have.
The email addresses are confirmed as belonging to both parties. And the source of the leak, Lin Wood, is a crank, yes. But that doesn't mean he's lying about this, or intentionally spreading a fake document. To do so would he inviting a massive lawsuit from Tucker.

Reposting with more redaction: Lin Wood doxxed both Hunter Biden and Tucker Carlson's contact info as of 2014. Yikes.
Lost in the crazy of doxxing the son of the president and a major TV infotainer: TUCKER CARLSON ASKED HUNTER BIDEN TO WRITE HIS SON A COLLEGE RECOMMENDATION LETTER.
Buckley Carlson didn't end up going to Georgetown, BTW.

I don't plan to talk about Jim Stewartson after this, but I truly hope the people clamoring for his return and praising him as a fearless truth-teller have read at least a little about his abuse and conspiracy theories toward journalists who criticized him. It's not okay.
He worked with a number of independent journalists, and I haven't seen any acknowledge the abusive and paranoid lies he told about those who ran afoul of him or questioned his methods. I hope at some point they think hard about when and how he'll turn on them.
I'm not tagging anyone here because I don't want to get into endless circular arguments that won't solve anything. Finding out the truth about someone you admire is difficult, and everyone needs to process it at their own pace.

The infighting among Q grifters in the last few weeks has been spectacular, but Lin Wood has really crossed over from "settling all family business" to "desperately in need of an intervention."
It's very complicated and not really important to understand in depth. But it ultimately comes back to money - Wood trying to get back the money he raised for Kyle Rittenhouse, who is a real patriot and who is a scammer, etc.
Also, Mike Flynn posted a picture of a dove pooping fireballs, and people thought that meant he was a Satanist. So he got mad, and Lin Wood and others got mad at him. Maybe these folks should spend more time with their families and less time being mad online.

I'm listening to the #negative48 livestream on telegram. They're standing on the triple overpass running through Dealey Plaza, yelling USA at passing cars and listening to patriotic rap about "war with demons." Lots of screaming and cheers. But you can't scream and cheer all day.
Now they're chanting "if you don't know, you're a comatose vertical meatsack." There's an in group and and out group, and if you're out, you're out.
People passing by are flipping the N48 crew the bird, and the N48 crew responds by screaming insults and calling them child traffickers and evil. Really not good at all.
