It's pretty well documented that extremists & conspiracists are more willing to pay someone to tell them what they want to hear than other sociopolitical groups.

Since they keep 10% of the money, keep that in mind when Substack talks about protecting free speech.
People who won't subscribe to their hometown newspaper for $4 a month are happily giving a conspiracy theorist $50 a month.
Never forget that over a thousand Anons were paying $5 a month to read an updated list of everyone this guy said had been executed and replaced by clones and/or robots. Image
What I'm really saying is that it's pretty easy to 'protect free speech' when the speech you're currently protecting overwhelmingly pays the bills.

QAnon John's antisemitic talking points are not a bug of QAnon, they're a feature.

Let's do a little Flashback Friday.

In Sep 2018, QAnon's subreddit was shuttered. Q sent everyone to a new board on Voat.

1/ Image
Voat shared some similarities with Telegram (where Q Promoters would encourage everyone to go after the Jan 2021 Twitter purge), notably that the place was riddled with Nazis.

When they showed up in Q threads, some Anons objected, and the Nazis quickly responded.

2/ Image
While Voat was *explicitly* a neo-Nazi hang out spot, it's not as if the /qresearch/ boards weren't antisemitic to begin with. They always have been.

Exactly one year ago today, I wrote a piece but never posted it. Instead, I saved it in drafts.

I didn't want to feel as though I was punching down.

But behold my field, for it is barren.

Happy birthday, post. You can come outside now.

Contrary to what he says, not everyone who disagrees with Jim's conclusions is a paid op or part of an organized harassment campaign against him.

Some of us just find a fair amount of his work to be half-assed, often dubiously sourced, and sometimes simply incomplete.

tl;dr--
Great question. The doc appeared about 2 mos in and borrows a lot of language from similar threat assessments on Islamic radicalization. Based on the implementation slide, I would guess the author is from a hacktivist background.

I'm at work until late but I want to talk about this
Some thoughts in no particular order to follow
With this detail noticed by @conspirator0, and the details previously reported about the Dec 18 meeting in the Oval, I think it is extremely likely Sidney Powell authored the draft.

Well hey, look what's still a thing: it's Qux Box!
@willsommer
For those who may not remember, the Qux Box was crowdfunded last year and promises to create its very own private internet for those who purchase at $199.

It strikes me as odd to send the release @ gmail but provide contact info @ protonmail, but maybe someone smarter than me can say if it's actually weird.

Also odd that 'Trevor Fitzgibbon' would be handling this personally and not through his company Mission Critical Media.
