Qronicles: What's REALLY happening with Elon Musk and Twitter; and Q debates another guy on TV
This post was originally published on this site
The Qronicles is a series that will collect some of the news, videos, and general mis/disinformation roiling around the conspiracy world of QAnon. You can cringe, you can laugh, but these folks are organizing and showing up at the polls!
Elon Musk bought Twitter, if you hadn’t heard. As you might imagine, this has shaQen (pow!) the Q-averse! (Shazam!)
Let me walk that back. Elon Musk may have bought a controlling share of Twitter. He may still step away from it. It’s hard to know. But Queue you know who does?
Think about it! You don’t understand the significance yet?
Think about it again! How about thinking about it this way?
Triple think about it! No, don’t think too much about it. There isn’t much of anything there to think about. However, in defense of conspiracy theories, it’s hard not to feel like we live in a Bond movie these days, with images like this one of the richest man in the world.
Meanwhile, just to remind you how much a part of the fabric of the GOP the conspiracy theorists are, we’ve got disgraced and twice-impeached Donald Trump promoting some QAnon-level groomer panic.
Ron Watkins, if you don’t know, is the former 8chan administrator who may know (or may even be) the original “Q” that got all of the Anon folks hot and bothered. He’s running for Congress in Arizona’s 1st District. Watkins has the charisma of a broken shoelace. But he is running for Congress, so he is on television … in local debates.
That clip is from the debate he had against incumbent Rep. Walter Blackman. To be clear, the fact that Walter Blackman comes across like he’s Winston fucking Churchill in his debate with Watkins says a lot more about Watkins than it does about Blackman.
Over in Michigan, the Wolverine State’s Republican Party nominated community college professor Kristina Karamo to run for secretary of state. If you don’t remember, Karamo claimed “she’d witnessed election fraud in Detroit during the 2020 election.” This is the rallying cry of the Michigan Republican Party these days. The election was stolen, so MAGA and QAnon want to make sure elections are forever rigged for whichever candidate they decide isn’t a lizard person.
At the same time, here’s a reminder that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green claimed last week that she never said any of the myriad things she has been recorded—frequently recorded by herself—saying. Like this:
Did you say nothing makes sense? Well, it does! Here’s rock-solid logic at work.
But Walter, you say Princess Diana passed away in 1997, and Barron Trump was born in 2006! But she isn’t dead, silly-billy! She’s on that island with Michael Jackson and most of the late Kennedy family, working on a plan to [looks through notes] defeat Thanos! [Looks through notes again] My mistake, to defeat the Jews and Hillary Clinton and Muslim Communists!
Did you say “Satanic portal?”
It wouldn’t be a roundup without a nod to the on-the-ground effects of QAnon.
But just in case you need a reminder. There’s a lot of racism in their belief systems.
