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.
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/
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/
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.
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.
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. thedailybeast.com/ex-infowars-st…
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.
