Good morning from Mannheim, PA where I’ll be covering the Great Awakening show here the next couple days.

This is a Christian nationalist, QAnon-friendly conference featuring Michael Flynn and tomorrow - GOP candidate for governor Doug Mastriano.
Pastor Greg Locke talking about how he’s been targeted by “BLM, antifa, witches and warlocks” Image
Book-burning, COVID-denying, QAnon pastor Greg Locke rides a horse
Mike Lindell complaining how Fox and Newsmax wouldn’t let him talk about Dominion voting systems

Also keeps calling out NYT, WaPo, and HuffPost, who all have reporters here, for writing negative stories Image
Numerological prophecies on stage right now ImageImage
Crowd cheers as speaker Bo Polny declares prophecy that the “Angel of death” will be visiting these people by end of year

Ends speech by saying “45 is coming back!” Image
Even tho Mastriano is billed as a speaker tomorrow … rumblings here that he won’t show, that he’s too busy
Tania Joy Gibson tells the crowd gender dysphoria is the work of Satan and then… Image
Leads crowd in song
Roger Stone is speaking now - “I’m guilty of loving President Donald Trump”
Stone ends speech by talking abt his mentor Richard Nixon, calls Trump the greatest president of his lifetime, then does his best Nixon-leaving-the-White-House-after-resigning pose Image
Julie Green, who has close ties to GOP gov nominee Doug Mastriano, is a “prophet” who claims to have a direct line to God.

She delivered one of God’s new prophecies - about taking down the current government - on stage to big cheers
More on Julie Green and Mastriano here from @ehananoki mediamatters.org/qanon-conspira…
Unclear if Mastriano is gonna show today or tomorrow at all - but his campaign has a booth here Image
Morning all again from Manheim, PA where it’s day 2 of the Great Awakening show, a Christian nationalist / QAnon-friendly conference hosted by Mike Flynn and where GOP gov nominee Doug Mastriano is scheduled to speak today
I was handed this book upon arrival Image
Some vendor booths ImageImageImageImage
Now on stage: Simone Gold, a COVID denialist/anti-vax figure who went to prison for her involvement in Jan 6, and who was released last month ImageImage
A “Save The Kids” shirt a woman was wearing mapping out the tunnels where the Illuminati are apparently harvesting adrenochrrome from sex-trafficked children.

Welp racist Katie Hopkins is on stage now leading the Great Awakening crowd in a dance
Katie Hopkins talked about how Muslims were out-reproducing non-Muslims in the UK, and about how Black gangs were attacking white farmers in South Africa - straight-up white nationalist shit. Gets huge cheers.

GOP gov nominee Doug Mastriano still scheduled to speak later Image
Now it’s Overstock founder Patrick Byrne giving a very convoluted speech about his affair with Russian spy Maria Butina and promoting his claim that he was part of a an FBI sting operation to bribe Hillary Clinton in 2016… Image
Lookin more and more like Mastriano is not gonna show - but plenty of people in his orbit, people who have spoken at his rallies, have been here all wknd.

His campaign just packed up its booth here and left, telling me he can’t make it even tho he was on the schedule.
Zoning out for the latest anti-vax speech of the weekend, just tuned back in for a second and heard “quantum physics is demonic” so
One of the last speakers today is the daughter of the late “prophet” Kim Clement. She’s playing a video about her dad, who claimed to have god-given visions about 9/11, the death of Bin Laden, and ISIS all before they happened.

Eric Trump spoke on this stage yesterday
Alrighty Mastriano was a no show and in his time slot were some “prophets.” Expect a story later this week.

That’s a wrap for me - thanks for following along. Off to have many beers.

I’m at Columbia this evening where a group of Christian nationalists will be marching in support of Israel Image
Sean Feucht, the Christian nationalist preacher and organizer of this rally. This week he talked about abt how what’s happening at Columbia is a sign of End Times. Just asked him what happens to Jews during the End Times, & whether they’d have to convert. He refused to answer. Image

Everywhere you look in established right & "New Right" circles, you see an unapologetic embrace of authoritarianism/monarchism. They're not hiding their hatred for democracy. "No enemies to the right." A "Christian prince." A "monarch/CEO." Eugenics... All w/ buy-in from GOP
Jason has been doing great work on this

Renton's mom is Tania Joy Gibson. A former Miss America contestant, these days Tania speaks from the same stages as Eric Trump & Michael Flynn, talking abt how gender-affirming care for trans folks is a scheme by the devil to steal the "seed" of humanity https://t.co/sDldqLQHRrhuffpost.com/entry/trans-so…


Here's Tania at the Miss America competition in 1996 in Atlantic City. Her political platform was "protecting at-risk youth."

Putting on a costume
So many reporters here I just saw a reporter start interviewing someone but they turned out to be a reporter too
If your coverage of this doesn’t emphasize that there are about 100 media here for like 10 MAGA protesters from NYYRC then your coverage is bad!
