Yes, crazy stuff. But not near a crazy as those who "believe" in socialism/communism.-----5 Things to Know About the QAnons, Including the Fact That Trump Won't Be Reinstated

5 Things to Know About the QAnons, Including the Fact That Trump Won't Be Reinstated

• Save Your Popcorn: Trump Isn’t Coming Back Today
  

"I have met a lot of “Q” people. Some are parents and even grandparents, and most are over 50 years old. They are all successful at what they do. They don’t all share the same “Q” views, but most believe one thing: Trump will be back in the White House by the end of 2021. They just disagree on the date.

• FACT-O-RAMA! Nothing in the Constitution would allow Trump to be reinstated as president even if an election fraud smoking gun is found. Gropey Joe Biden could say “We cheated and this is how we did it,” and Trump still wouldn’t be reinstated. It’s time to accept that.

...Are Q people dangerous? 

Most of the Qs I’ve met are women over 50 years old with, to my knowledge, no history of violence. QAnon Shaman Jacob Chesley (the guy at the Capitol with the horns) is a known Q believer...
...What Do the Qs Believe?
Hard to say. Not all Qs have the same opinions, but with that said, here are 5 facts about the QAnons:

MSNBC's Wallace: Trump 'Inciting Violent Extremism' by Meeting with Ashli Babbitt Husband, Mother
"MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace said Wednesday on her show “Deadline” that former President Donald Trump was “inciting violent extremism” by meeting with the mother and husband of Ashli Babbitt, the rioter who an officer inside the Capitol fatally shot on January 6.

Wednesday after the meeting, Trump put out a statement saying Babbitt was “murdered at the hands of someone who should never have pulled the trigger of his gun,” adding, “We know who it is.”
...Wallace said, “Can you fathom an example of a politician of another party meeting with the mother of a domestic terrorist and the other party really just sort of shrugging it off? Where are we? I mean, where are we in our politics that the ex-president, inciting violent extremism, meets with the mother of, by your definition and by Officer Hodges, the mother of a terrorist, and everyone kind of shrugs it off?”
...Taylor concluded, “What this does is it leads to radicalization of more people who could potentially pose a threat because it legitimizes that sort of civil disorder and conduct.”...Read all.

FBI Seizes Entire Bank Account of Conservative Talk Show Host After He Attended a Trump Rally
"During a viral new documentary released on Tuesday, Conservative Talk Show host Nicholas J Fuentes discussed the legal repercussions he has faced after he simply attended former President Trump’s speech on January 6th.
Fuentes never entered the capitol building and remained approximately 200 yards away from the nearest entrance. 

The 23-year-old talk show host says he went to the capitol building following Trump’s speech because the former President said he would also be giving a speech outside the front of the building.

• ...In the film, Fuentes noted that days later he noticed his credit card was declined for a subscription he signed up for. 
• After checking his bank account, he found that his balance went from almost half a million dollars the day before, to zero dollars.
• “I went through my transaction history and I saw a legal order that subtracted my entire bank balance,” Fuentes said. 

...Fuentes suggests that he is a true ‘threat to the system’ because of this.

Perhaps the most terrifying part is that millions of Americans are simply falling in line with this new status quo...Read all.

Deja Vu: The Swine Flu Vaccination Fraud of 1976

CBS ” 60 MINUTES” documentary on the swine flu epidemic of 1976 in the U.S. It went on air only once and was never shown again. Watch this video documentary and listen to testimony of people who caught Gullian-Barre paralysis because of the swine flu vaccine. They sued the US government for damages.

500 cases of Gullian-Barre paralysis, including 25 deaths—not due to the swine flu itself, but as a direct result of the vaccine. At the time President Gerald Ford, on advice from the CDC, called for vaccination of the ENTIRE population of the United States.

The difference now, and what is the REAL danger, we have no questioning media.
