Judge Releases Two Videos Showing Jacob 'QAnon Shaman' Chansley 'Blatantly Lied' to 60 Minutes+

When deciding to keep Jacob Chansley behind bars pending trial, a federal judge wrote that the rioter who became known as the "QAnon Shaman" had "blatantly lied" in his 60 Minutes+ interview by claiming that authorities left the door open for the pro-Trump mob to enter. The court just released...

Prosecutors call Chansley a “leader” of QAnon, but Watkins vigorously denied that in an interview for Law&Crime’s podcast “Objections,” making an offer about what he would do about the government memo claiming that.

“Do me a huge favor and scan that, and send it to me I’ll be the first one to shove it right up my rectum,” Watkins said in the video interview. “I’ll do it on public TV.”

He sounds professional.

In other words, the US is ageist as fuck.

I can't speak so much for other countries, but the U.S. is severely age stratified, so it's hardly surprising that we find it so easy to stereotype age groups, despite evidence to the contrary. From age 5 or 6 onward, children are placed in age-cohorts and move in lock-step progression up through their early 20s. It's a really bizarre system and unlike anything the human species has experienced up until the very recent past.

12 House GOPers Opposed Awarding Medals To Police Who Risked Their Lives On Jan. 6

A dozen House Republicans voted against a resolution to award Congressional Gold Medals to recognize the Capitol Police, the D.C. police in honor of those who protected the Capitol when it was attacked on Jan. 6, the Washington Post reported late Wednesday.

The GOP lawmakers, who said they objected to the use of the term “insurrectionists” in the resolution, include: Andy Biggs (AZ), Thomas Massie (KY), Andy Harris (MD), Lance Gooden (TX), Matt Gaetz (FL), Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA), Louie Gohmert (TX), Michael Cloud (TX), Andrew S. Clyde (GA), Greg Steube (FL.), Bob Good (VA) and John Rose (TN).

Nearly all of the House Republicans who voted against awarding the medals on Wednesday had also voted to object to certifying electoral votes for Biden in some states amid the riot. Massie was the one exception.

Gohmert objected to calling it an insurrection. (－‸ლ)

 

[Spirits Rising]

Aww, the widdle insurrectionists objected to calling it by its proper name!

Tough. They're lucky they get a say of any kind in the matter, let alone that they're still allowed to hold their seats.

Well, yes. I've said this several times before. They started with the easiest cases, like where they doxxed themselves on social media. Once you have those guys arrested, you can start pressuring them to flip on the higher-ups. With testimony, you can get a search warrant for social media and physical locations of the leaders. Repeat till you get to the top.

It is looking more and more like America has a caste problem with the wealthy continuously passing on that wealth through the generations to propagate it, using that wealth to alter the political landscape and now insurrection to maintain that wealth.

The wealthy leading a revolution in order to tighten their stranglehold over everyone else isn't a new concept but so many people associate revolution with the poor striking back for either rights or a piece of the pie that the myths hold strong, no doubt something that the wealthy who finance it would like people to continue to believe.

They better smack these guys down hard. They're planning to disrupt this whole administration or worse.

QAnon Say White House's St. Patrick's Day Lighting Was 'Go' Message

The conspiracy theorists thought the building lights changing color signaled something was going to happen that night.

www.newsweek.com

The White House celebrated the Irish holiday by having the lights turn green in the evening, as well as turning the water from the fountains on the North and South lawns the same color.

Despite this tradition existing for a number of years, followers of the radical QAnon movement believe this year the green lights were a signal only they have deciphered showing that their so-called "plan" is still going ahead.

For QAnon, green is to be interpreted as a "go," sign, proving that the next stage of the plan—which at this point can mean any number of suggestions and predictions—would happen that night.

Telegram channel QNews TV, which has more than 53,000 subscribers, posted a picture of the White House in green with the caption "we are winning big."

ETA: meant to post this in the Qanon crazy thread so pretend that you’re reading the Qanon crazy thread kthx
