Are you a journalist whose J6 anniversary piece feels… stale? Needs a little punching-up?

Have I got a hashtag for you! It’s @plmanseau’s brainchild, #capitolsiegereligion and GUESS WHAT

We *really do need some mainstream pieces* that highlight the Christian nationalism of J6.
“But Origins,” you say, “aren’t you a QAnon-focused account?”

Well, “focused” is strong language, but more to the point, QAnon was WAY less of an inspiration for J6 than, uh,

the belief that America is a white Christian nation under assault by godless libs.
And yet very little press coverage talks about that!
So write a piece that has a fresh friggin’ angle! I beg of you.

Q ORIGINS PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS, 2021

1. Published in Bellingcat, which was a no-kidding life goal for me, about QAnon as an outgrowth of 4chan culture.
bellingcat.com/news/americas/…

2. Conned Bellingcat into doing it again, this time re (some of) the lost drops.
bellingcat.com/news/rest-of-w…
3. Sat down, shut up, & got out of the way as @BobPythonic + @kunstderfuge1 found the first forensic evidence for Q's whereabouts.
bellingcat.com/news/rest-of-w…

4. Recruited *more* impressive people to the project -- @FantasticGvnFox, @get_innocuous, @AlxnderThaGr8, and @MC_Hyperbole.
5. Wrote an explainer for the Anti-Defamation League
adl.org/resources/repo…

6. Was blown away when @AlxnderThaGr8 accurately pointed out that GhostEzra is packing Nazi-grade antisemitism with *a total lack* of Nazi-grade *racism* -- he was the first to pick up on that, AFAIK.

Antisemitism is the beating heart of how the far right sees the world.

Anti-trans rhetoric is how the far right builds bridges to more mainstream conservatives, because hatred and loathing of trans people is their #1 shared value.
I would further add that, like *everything* the far right considers a social ill, it is a given -- in those circles -- that The Jew must be to blame for transness & is pushing "the trans agenda."

But that's not what the far right leads with when it talks to normie conservatives.
Rather, they lead with shared loathing of trans bodies, of the very concept of transness, with a good hearty bigoted "ewwwwwwww."

And it works. It successfully communicates to normal, everyday conservatives: look, I'm on your side. We hate the same things.

Hey, look at this! A Q drop from centuries long gone.

Or, fine, a vague and almost-certainly-fabricated-by-a-later-author "prophecy." If you INSIST on calling it by its proper name. Killjoy. >:(

Anyway, BIG h/t @tjdfotographist for the source material here. Image
... you know, I should actually cite the source, shouldn't I? This is an English-language translation of a French pamphlet (written in 1791, translated 1797) which blamed the French Revolution on a Freemason/Templar conspiracy.

The subtitle is *sublime*: Image
But the *full* title is: "James Molai; or, the Secret of the Conspirators

Translated by a gentleman of Boston,

Addressed to those who wish to know every thing" Image

~BOOK REVIEW CORNER~

"But Origins," absolutely no one just asked me, "what do you read ASIDE from QAnon/extremism stuff?"

I just finished @NuclearTeeth's "A Fatal Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum," a review of murder (and homicide) in Rome.

Why was it good? FIND OUT 👇:
1) the substance of the book is *very very meaty*, especially chapter 9, which essentially deals with mass murder as a spectacle for demonstrating state power in Rome -- the book never says this out loud, but boy, I couldn't help but think of parallels to Aztec mass sacrifice.
(To be clear, the Romans got queasy at the idea of explicit human sacrifice, and no doubt would be horrified by the comparison. But IMO the comparsion holds up. However, this is WAY beyond the scope of a book review; if you're curious, ask and I'll talk your dang ear off abt it.)

An update on The Bullshit from Brazil.

Pay attention to Brazil: if you’re gonna choose *one* foreign country to go “Oh, they have something that’s exactly like Trumpism there,” Brazil is your best bet by far — right down to evangelicals being the political power base.
“But Origins,” you say, “wouldn’t you expect Brazilian evangelicals to be very distinct from American evangelicals?”

Sure, if you didn’t realize that US-based missionary efforts have basically exported the *whole* model abroad.

Which is not to say there’s NO local changes!
Just that it’s a *very* recognizable phenomenon.

Liz Harris is the mother of the “canvassing” strategy that’s the last, best hope of Trump Wuz Robbed truthers.

Here she shares a video by Austin Steinbart, “Baby Q” himself, where — inter alia — he claims credit for the self-immolation of a Phoenix businessman (about 32:00 in).
Steinbart claims to be Q from the future (though his followers say that’s oversimplifying).

This is why, at about 30:40 in the video, he explains that the “news media is a big part of why we had to do QAnon this way.”

Again, Harris explicitly says “This video explains it all!”
One thing it PROBABLY explains is how Steinbart —who, at the time, was fresh out of the federal slammer (his whole shtick had basically been “If I’m not Q, how come the FBI doesn’t arrest me when I do all these illegal things?” and reader, you will never guess what the FBI did)—
