Anti-Vaxxers QAnon WTF?!

QAnon Members Say Kirstie Alley Was ‘Assassinated’ Because She Was An Anti-Vaxxer

On Tuesday, the children of “Cheers” actress Kirstie Alley announced that their mother had died, issuing a statement which read:

“We are sad to inform you that our incredible, fierce and loving mother has passed away after a battle with cancer, only recently discovered.”

It was later reported that Alley had died as a result of colon cancer, with a rep telling People magazine that the late actress had indeed been diagnosed with the fatal disease.

But according to some in the QAnon cult, Alley was actually “assassinated” because she was opposed to COVID vaccines.

David Gilbert of Vice News reports:

On the QAnon message board the Great Awakening, members concluded that the sudden nature of Alley’s death was a clear sign that her death was part of a global plot to silence critics of the COVID vaccines. 

“I wholly believe the [deep state] has a way of dosing people with poisons that create aggressive cancers,” one member wrote. Another added: “She either just drew the short straw or she was poisoned by the Deep State for being a public Patriot.”

Yep, here we go again. The same people who believe world governments are control by a cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles who eat the brains of children in order to stay young now think that Kirstie Alley was killed because she was an anti-vaxxer.

Alley, a vocal Trump supporter, had spread multiple conspiracy theories on her social media channels in recent years about COVID-19 and vaccines. She tweeted in October last year that until the vaccines “can prevent me from getting COVID or prevent you from getting it. I won’t be getting it and will ignore mandates to get it.. seems fair to me.”

Alley had also expressed her support of the QAnon movement, tweeting out this in October of 2020:

There’s also chatter that Alley was killed by the COVID vaccine, which she allegedly had to take before she was allowed to appear on “The Masked Singer.”

Some conspiracy theorists claimed on extremist message boards, as well as social networks like Truth Social, Gab, and Telegram, that because she had recently joined the cast of The Masked Singer Alley would have been “forced” to get a vaccine against her will. Others speculated, without any evidence, that she would have had to be vaccinated in order to receive treatment for her cancer.

Not batshit crazy enough for you? Well, consider that Alley was 71 when she died. But 71 reversed is 17 and the 17th letter of the alphabet is Q.

“Smells fishy,” a prominent QAnon group wrote on Telegram. “She’d been asking a lot of questions about official narratives. Funny thing, these fast acting cancers and celebs that don’t fall in line.”

What smells really fishy is the bullshit that gets passed off as “fact” by the QAnon cultists.

Crime Donald Trump The Trump Organization

Trump Organization Found Guilty On 17 Counts Of Tax Fraud In New York

A jury in New York has found the Trump Organization guilty on 17 counts of tax fraud and falsifying records, the first conviction of the failed ex-president’s company since he left office in disgrace.

NBC News reports the jury deliberated for a little more than a day before handing down the verdict, which could result in stiff fines for Trump Org. and could also open the door for other prosecutors who are investigating possible criminal behavior by the one-term, twice-impeached former president.

The Trump Organization and Allen Weisselberg, its former longtime chief financial officer, were indicted last year after a multi-year investigation into the company’s financial practices by the Manhattan district attorney’s office.

Prosecutors alleged that two corporations that are a part of the company, Trump Corp. and Trump Payroll Corp., paid their “already highly paid executives,” including Weisselberg, even more by “cheating on their taxes” through a series of schemes that included off-the-books perks like luxury cars and free apartments.

THIS IS A BREAKING STORY AND WILL BE UPDATED

Capitol Insurrection Congress GOP January 6

Viral Video: Capitol Police Officers Refuse To Shake Hands With McConnell And McCarthy

At the U.S. Capitol today, several police officers who were on duty on January 6, 2021 when thousands of pro-Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building were given gold medals for their bravery on that fateful day.

The Congressional Gold Medal is the highest honor Congress can bestow on any American, and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) thanked the officers before they were given their awards.

“Exactly 23 months ago, our nation suffered the most staggering assault on democracy since the Civil War. Jan. 6 was a day of horror and heartbreak. It is also a moment of extraordinary heroism. Staring down deadly violence and despicable bigotry, our law enforcement officers bravely stood in the breach, ensuring that democracy survived on that dark day.”

In the videos below, you can see each officer shaking hands with Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), but each one then refuses to shake the outstretched hand of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).

Twitter gave the officers a standing ovation for their righteous dissing of McConnell and McCarthy.

Right Wing Morons WTF?!

Kanye West Tells Proud Boys Founder That Jews Need To ‘Forgive Hitler’ In Latest Rant

Rapper Kanye West (a.k.a. Ye) doubled and tripled down on his recent vile anti-Semitic comments, telling Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes on Monday that Jews need to “forgive Hitler” for the Holocaust.

Rolling Stone reports that West made his remarks on Censored.TV, a right-wing platform, with McInnes telling his guest that he was hoping to “talk him off the ledge” and keep him from “becoming an anti-Semite or a Nazi.”

But rather than take the olive branch being offered to him, West told the host:

“Jews should work for Christians. I’ll hire a Jewish person in a second if I knew they weren’t a spy and I could look through their phone and follow through their house and have a camera all in their living room.”

West added:

“We make our reputations, that was made by Jewish people. But some of it’s incorrect. Also, the Holocaust is not the only holocaust, so for them to take that and claim — we have abortion right now. That’s eugenics, that’s genocide. That’s a holocaust that we’re dealing with right now, so because Jewish people control the majority of the media, along with banks, along with real estate, along with malls.”

McInnes then told the rapper that he believed Jews were “liberal elites,” along with former President Barack Obama and current Vice President Kamala Harris, which led West to blame Jews for pornography, which he called a “gas chamber,” a clear and disgusting reference to the deaths of over 6 million Jews in Nazi concentration camps and crematoriums.

“They can control the narrative. History is written by the winners.”

Last week, West told InfoWars host Alex Jones that Hitler and the Nazis did “good things.”

“Well, I see good things about Hitler, also. I love everyone. The Jewish people are not going to tell me, you know, you can love us and you can love what we’re doing to you with the contracts and you can love what we’re pushing with the pornography.

“But this guy that invented highways and invented the very microphone that I use as a musician. You can’t say out loud that this person never did anything good and I’m done with that, I’m done with the classifications, and every human being has value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler.”

LGBT Issues Supreme Court

Justice Jackson Has The Perfect Question When An Attorney Urges SCOTUS To Allow LGBTQ Discrimination

The U.S. Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments today in a case involving the rights of private businesses to discriminate against LGBTQ Americans on “religious grounds,” and there are fears that conservatives on the high court may allow discrimination if the defendant claims it violates his or her beliefs.

Reuters reports on the case:

The wedding websites that Colorado-based web designer Lorie Smith would like to create for clients might offer ceremony details, pictures, a story about the couple and a biblical quote celebrating how through marriage they “become one flesh.”

They would not, however, show same-sex nuptials.

Smith, an evangelical Christian who believes marriage is only between a man and a woman, has taken her fight to refuse to make wedding websites for same-sex couples and to advertise that policy to the U.S. Supreme Court in a major case to be argued on Monday. Smith is appealing lower court rulings backing Colorado.

During oral arguments, some of the conservative justices did indeed seem included to allow such blatant discrimination, according to CNN.

Justice Neil Gorsuch noted that a businessperson’s objection would not be based on the status of the same-sex couple, but instead, the message the businessperson did not want to send. The question isn’t the “who” Gorsuch said, but the “what.”

Justice Amy Coney Barrett told a lawyer for the designer that her “strongest ground” is that the designer’s work is “custom.”

The newest justice, Ketanji Brown Jackson, had a brilliant question for an attorney representing Smith before the court.

“Give me your thoughts on a photography business in a shopping mall during this holiday season that offers a product called Scenes with Santa, and this business wants to express its own view of nostalgia about Christmases past by reproducing classic 1940s and 1950s Santa scenes…because they’re trying to capture the feelings of a certain era, their policy is that only white children can be photographed with Santa in this way, because that’s how they view the scenes with Santa that they’re trying to depict.”

The attorney desperately attempted to differentiate between the two:

“Because in the photograph itself, the objection is not contained in that photograph. But in addition, I think it’s important to remind the court –”

When Jackson countered that the two instances are exactly the same, the attorney replied, “The specific objection that you’re including is not necessarily in that photograph, but even if it were, this court has protected vile, awful, reprehensible, violent speech in the past.”

How exactly is it “speech” to refuse to set up a website for someone just because the potential client is LGBTQ? That’s discrimination and it wouldn’t be allowed based on the color of a person’s skin, as Justice Jackson noted. But the current right-wing 6-3 majority on the court may allow it to happen with their approval. Yet another reason we need to expand the court and make sure these six extremist judges don’t take away every right we have.
