QAnon WTF?!

QAnon Leaders Are Now Encouraging Their Members To ‘Experience Physical Death’

A couple of years ago, some members of the QAnon movement (which many experts consider to be a cult), gathered in Dallas to await the return of the late President John F. Kennedy and his son, John Jr.

The people in Dallas were being led by a man named Michael Brian Protzman, who is known as Negative48 by his closest followers, all of whom believe that baby-eating pedophiles control the major governments of the world, including the United States.

But while most of the QAnon rhetoric has been aimed at others, especially Democratic political figures, an offshoot of the group is now suggesting that it may be time for members to “experience physical death,” which is setting off alarm bells for those who warn the movement is entering a dark phase that may culminate with a mass suicide event such as the one that Jim Jones led in Guyana circa 1978, when 909 people killed themselves by drinking fruit punch laced with cyaninde.

According to Vice:

While the group initially appeared to be waiting for the reappearance of JFK,  over the weekend, the tone of Protzman’s comments shifted dramatically. Besides proclaiming that he was God’s representative on earth, he also took part in a video chat where participants openly spoke about having to experience death in order to learn the truth.

“Ultimately… we have to experience that physical death… let go… come out on the other side,” one of the participants in the video call suggested.

Where were members to meet next? Waco, Texas:

The administrator of Protzman’s Telegram channel posted a screenshot of a navigation app showing the destination as Waco, Texas, where in 1993 a monthslong law enforcement siege of the Mount Carmel compound belonging to the Branch Davidian religious sect ended with 76 people dead, including 25 children.

That led Mike Rothschild, author of The Storm Is Upon Us, which is about QAnon, to tweet out a warning:

“The moment when the leaders of a cultic group start talking about the need for physical death to reach utopia is the moment to get the authorities involved.”

Though it’s impossible to predict what will happen next with a group of people as mentally unstable as QAnon believers, we could all awaken one morning and see the tragic results of such apocalyptic beliefs.

QAnon WTF?!

Actor Jim Caviezel Claims Some People Harvest The Organs Of Children To Obtain Strength

Actor Jim Caviezel is probably best known for two movies: 1998’s “The Thin Red Line” and 2004’s “The Passion of the Christ.”

Caviezel’s latest film is entitled “Sound of Freedom” and deals with the subject of children being sexually trafficked around the world. The movie also contains references to well-known conspiracy theories from the QAnon movement, including the lie that wealthy liberal elites kill children, drink their blood and harvest their adrenochrome, which allows adults to remain strong and youthful.

“Sound of Freedom” will be screened on July 19 for failed, twice-indicted former president Donald Trump at his Bedminster golf club in New Jersey.

Caviezel was a guest on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast today, and he said he had a message for Trump as he prepares to see “Sound of Freedom.”

“I also want to say to Donald Trump, then when you watch this movie, you will be at peace and at rest because you, more than anyone, have done incredible things Jesus talks about, that you know faith without works is dead,” Caviezel told Bannon, also comparing Trump to King David, a Biblical figure who was the third king of Israel, circa 1000 BCE.

The actor continued, “I believe Donald Trump was selected by God Almighty, and I’m talking about the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit God.”

Then came the QAnon references to drinking blood to obtain adrenochrome, with Caviezel noting:

“That’s why the devil wants to kill him, wants to hurt them. It’s always been this way since Pharaoh and then to Herod and now but more than ever and enslaving them and doing many, many things including organ harvesting and adrenochroming. And I will say that until I’m, you know, I’m dead.”

“It’s true, and there will be a lot of things that are going to come out,” he added.

And of course no right-wing conspiracy theorist can carry on a conversation without bringing up the subject of Hunter Biden’s laptop.

“Well, eventually we’ll get to see what Trump talked about, the Hunter laptop from hell; what’s on that,” Caviezel insisted. “It’s from hell.”

This isn’t the first time Caviezel has weighed in on the matter of adrenochrome.

In 2021, he told an audience:

“When you are scared, you produce adrenaline. If a child knows he’s going to die, his body will secrete this adrenaline, and they have a lot of terms that they use.

“But it’s the worst horror I’ve ever seen, is adrenochroming, even if I never, ever, ever, ever saw it.”

Trump May Have Just Used A Coded Message As A Signal To Conspiracy Theorists For His Tuesday Arraignment

In a posting on his Truth Social platform today, failed one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump went off on an all-caps rant that a reporter on religious extremism says should be of great concern as the disgraced ex-president faces arraignment Tuesday on federal criminal charges for mishandling classified information.

The post from Trump which was shared earlier this afternoon reads:

NOW THAT THE “SEAL” IS BROKEN, IN ADDITION TO CLOSING THE BORDER & REMOVING ALL OF THE “CRIMINAL” ELEMENTS THAT HAVE ILLEGALLY INVADED OUR COUNTRY, MAKING AMERICA ENERGY INDEPENDENT, & EVEN DOMINANT AGAIN, & IMMEDIATELY ENDING THE WAR BETWEEN RUSSIA & UKRAINE, I WILL APPOINT A REAL SPECIAL “PROSECUTOR” TO GO AFTER THE MOST CORRUPT PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE USA, JOE BIDEN, THE ENTIRE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY, & ALL OTHERS INVOLVED WITH THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR ELECTIONS, BORDERS, & COUNTRY ITSELF!

Be sure and note mention of the “seal” being broken, religion reporter and extremism expert Jeff Sharlet warns. It has special significance to those in the QAnon conspiracy movement and other right-wing religious extremists.

Sharlet explained his concerns on Twitter.

“QAnon & many fundamentalists will read this—& I don’t think it’s a stretch to imagine Trump’s people are aware of that—as both the indictment & 7th seal of Revelation, the opening of which heralds the second coming of Christ.”

“This, combined with Saturday’s claim that World War III ‘WILL’ occur if he’s not back, & that he is the ‘only one’ who can stop the obliteration of the world, are claims to divinity.”

“As I write in THE UNDERTOW, Trumpism’s a kind of bastardized American gnosticism, an ecstatic doomsday/utopian faith in secrets & ‘strength.’ Some QAnon followers make the gnostic connection explicit. Here’s some of the most famous gnostic text, ‘The Thunder, Perfect Mind’:

For those who have read the Book of Revelation, those lines have the echo of “I am the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.” (Revelation 22:13).

Revelation was David Koresh’s favorite book of the Bible. It was also big with Charles Manson. In other words, it’s a favorite source of dark inspiration for terrorists and mass murderers.

Let’s hope security is airtight tomorrow in Miami when Trump shows up to be arraigned.

Elections GOP WTF?!

The MAGA Conspiracy Theories On Why Kari Lake Lost Have Begun – And They’re BEYOND Batsh*t Crazy

A couple of weeks ago, Arizona GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake was asked if she would accept the results of the 2022 midterm election, no matter the outcome.

The New York Times reported at the time that Lake sounded supremely confident that she would be victorious and refused to even entertain the notion that she might not.

“I’m going to win the election, and I will accept that result,” Ms. Lake said in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

The host, Dana Bash, then asked, “If you lose, will you accept that?” Ms. Lake, who is running against Arizona’s Democratic secretary of state, Katie Hobbs, responded by repeating, “I’m going to win the election, and I will accept that result.”

“The people of Arizona will never support and vote for a coward like Katie Hobbs,” she added, setting up a framework in which, if Ms. Hobbs were to win, Ms. Lake could present the result as evidence of election fraud. That is one of the arguments Mr. Trump made, suggesting that the 2020 election must have been fraudulent because the idea of President Biden receiving majority support was unbelievable.

But a week after voters went to the polls, it’s now clear that Lake has lost to her Democratic opponent, Katie Hobbs, who will be the next governor of Arizona.

98% of the ballots have been counted in the Grand Canyon State, and here’s where the race between Hobbs and Lake stands:

But to hear Lake’s supporters tell it, the fight has only begun, because their candidate is being cheated out of an election she won.

Sound familiar? It’s the same tired old bullshit that the MAGA faithful have been spouting ever since Donald Trump got curb stomped by President Joe Biden back in 2020.

So, as you’d expect, the conspiracy theories regarding Lake’s failure have also begun, and some of them are downright goofy.

Let’s go to Twitter for a sampling of the craziness.

Clearly, it never ends. They lose, but all they do in the aftermath is whine. It’s pathetic and infuriating.

QAnon WTF?!

QAnon Cultists Gathering In Dallas Once Again To Await The Return Of A 105-Year-Old JFK

Last November, more than a thousand of the loons who consider themselves members of the QAnon conspiracy cult began gathering in Dallas to await the return of the John F. Kennedy (along with his son, John F. Kennedy Jr.), the late president who was assassinated in the city back in 1963.

As you might expect, neither JFK or JFK Jr. ever showed, probably because they’re both dead.

But despite that, Vice News reports, the QAnon crazies are headed back to Dallas, once again because JFK will be rising from the dead:

It’s been 220 days since more than 1,000 people traveled from across the U.S. to Dallas at the behest of Michael Protzman, a QAnon influencer known as Negative 48, who promised his followers that John F. Kennedy would reappear at Dealey Plaza. JFK didn’t reappear, of course, but the QAnon cult is now returning to Texas.

More than seven months after the group first met in Dallas, it is heading back to the city this weekend after Protzman once again promised that JFK would reveal himself to the group, proving once and for all that he is, in fact, the reincarnation of Jesus Christ. Protzman has already checked into the Hyatt Regency, where hundreds of people gathered back in November.

“What started in Dallas ends in Dallas,” one member of a Telegram group linked to the cult wrote on Friday morning.

So now JFK is Jesus? That’s a neat twist, don’t ya think?

But wait, the plot gets even crazier the longer you listen to Protzman’s BS:

Earlier this week, Protzman, in hours-long audio chats on his Telegram channel, laid out what he predicted would happen this weekend. He told his followers that JFK would only reveal himself to those willing to travel to Dallas on Saturday. This would be followed by 10 days of darkness before JFK would finally reveal himself to the world

Family members of those who follow the bizarre pronouncements from the cult didn’t exactly sound enthusiastic about what’s actually going to happen in Dallas this weekend, with one noting:

“​​I’d like to say that I am glad Protzman’s group of believers are all heading back to Dallas so that Michael Protzman will be exposed as a liar, but I am not holding my breath that any of his followers will suddenly have the ability to think critically and see that they are following a madman. They have the uncanny ability to believe everything Protzman tells them. I mean EVERYTHING.”

Oh, and let’s not forget that Protzman and some of the QAnon nutjobs have also shown up at rallies held by failed former president Donald Trump, who is actually JFK in disguise, they claim.

Want to see a bunch of lemmings in a hotel? Look no further than this video of the QAnoners showing up at Dallas hotels to wait for the late president to show himself:

Yeah, these people are more than a few bricks short of a load.
