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.

Donald Trump WTF?!

The Latest MAGA-Inspired Portrait Of Trump Is Beyond Pathetic

As much as they try to deny it, those who slavishly laud and support failed, one-term former President Donald Trump are actually part of a cult, which is defined as:

A cult is group of people defined by a “religious” devotion to something — often a self-appointed leader. 

Sound familiar? It explains why so many of the Trump faithful feel a need to put signs and flags up in their yards that let everyone know they still support Donnie Dotard despite the fact that he lost in a landslide to President Joe Biden.

Or consider the QAnon subculture that has also been spawned in the wake of Trump’s rise over the past few years. These people are convinced that Trump is the anointed one has been sent to fight and defeat the evil Democrats who get their power from eating the adrenal glands of children after they’ve been sexually trafficked. And yet the people who have actually been accused of sexual abuse and trafficking are Republicans such as the Donald and his faithful lapdog Matt Gaetz.

The “artwork” of painter Jon McNaughton is also part of the Trump cult, depicting the twice-impeached ex-president as some sort of mythic hero who can cure every ill faced by modern society.

Here’s McNaughton’s latest bit of artistic adoration:

A couple of questions regarding the above creation:

  • Why do they all have semiautomatic weapons when those hadn’t even been invented when most of these former presidents were in office?
  • How did Jefferson, Reagan, Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Kennedy get Planet Fitness memberships when it wasn’t incorporated until 1992?

The complete absurdity of the new Trump artwork had Twitter in stitches:
