In addition to Mike Flynn and David Icke getting reanimated, everyone's favorite gossip columnist turned pedo spotter Liz Crokin is now back on Twitter. And she's got videos to peddle.
Most of the other big QAnon gurus are still suspended, but I fully expect them all to be let back on. Will Joe M finally return???
Crokin's account is like a time capsule to when Q was still very fringe and very much based on the drops. She even uses #QAnon before Q told everyone that there's no such thing as QAnon. Fascinating.
It really can't be overstated how few people gave a damn about QAnon or wanted to hear anything about it in 2018, until the Trump rally in Tampa in August.

Just so much free speech happening tonight. We're all just saying what we want and settling it with vigorous debate, trying to one-up each other in the marketplace of ideas.
Suspending the people who make the majority of the content and draw the majority of the quiet users on the very expensive website you just bought - well that's just good business sense. That's billionaire thinking.
10 years since Sandy Hook, and none of the deranged conspiracy theories about it have come to pass. No guns were taken away, no patriots were put in camps, and numerous lawsuits have proven the "official story" over and over. Meanwhile, kids just keep getting shot.
The parents who lost children have had the worst day of their life used against them for a decade, and it was all for nothing, other than a few conspiracy grifters making money.
The aftermath of Sandy Hook was when most people knew that America would never make any serious effort to curtail gun massacres. Far from the "socialist gun grab based on a hoax" that conspiracy theorists claim it would usher in, the result was to codify a murderous status quo.
More QAnon/conspiracy pandering. We're so close to M*sk dropping a "WWG1WGA" I can smell it through my phone.
"Follow the white rabbit" was a big part of early QAnon, until Furber...sorry, Q...realized he could make more hay with something more original. Or at least stolen from are obscure 90s movie.
The real reason why many news outlets didn't touch the laptop story continues to be that the chain of custody is a mess, the people pushing it were unreliable, and there was no way to tell what on the laptop was real and what was fake. But sure, let's all do this dance again.
Anything to get the spotlight off Kanye's meltdown and the Daily Stormer dude getting his account restored, right?
The public spike in antisemitism feels unprecedented, but cycles in public Jew hatred are common. The difference is that in previous spikes, there was some attempt at denial. In 1991, Pat Robertson's "The New World Order" was a bestseller despite laundering the Protocols.
Robertson claimed he was merely exposing global power structures and was the greatest friend to the Jews. And there was real controversy in conservative Jewish press over whether he was or wasn't antisemitic.
Two decades earlier, None Dare Call it Conspiracy sold 5 million copies based on hysterical rumormongering about wealthy Jews, especially the Rothschilds. But again, the authors claimed they didn't hate Jews, merely the powerbrokers - who even other Jews should hate.
Trump has had his thumb on the scale of four American elections. He squeaked out a win in 2016, presided over disasters in 2018 and 2020, and now a hugely disappointing (for the GOP) midterm in 2022. We know beyond a doubt that just Trump's base is not enough to win.
The hardcore cultists will follow him down. But you can't win a presidential election - and maybe not even a primary - with only hardcore cultists. You have to get independents and casual voters on board - and they *clearly* are not.
Stop thinking that the rest of the GOP won't abandon him - many already have! It's just the really loud, obnoxious ones who are sticking with him.
