A few days ago, Jon Herold, founder of the QAnon-affiliated online channel Badlands Media, said as part of his defense against a lawsuit from fellow QAnon figure & former Badlands host "Kate Awakening" he'd be "pursuing legal action against all known coconspirators" (so likely other QAnon figures).

Jim and Ron confirmed that 8kun got deplatformed today.

In a new podcast interview, Trump appointee & former national security advisor Michael Flynn said that "the only way that we're gonna have a fair federal election is if" Trump "declares ... some sort of a national emergency."

YouTube has apparently reinstated Liz Crokin, a prominent QAnon & Pizzagate conspiracy theorist. Crokin wrote she's "cautiously optimistic I will be allowed to expose elite pedophiles, sex trafficking & Pizzagate over there without censorship." She was originally banned from the platform in 2020.

Trump tonight appears to have pushed the false "medbed" conspiracy theory, which has spread in the far-right internet over the years. www.yahoo.com/news/qanon-c...

Kirill Dmitriev, Russian President Vladimir Putin's investment envoy, has now also posted the QAnon slogan. It appears that a Russian government official is a QAnon supporter.

Kirill Dmitriev, Russian President Vladimir Putin's investment envoy, has invoked an explicit QAnon phrase, "Q+" — what QAnon supporters refer to Trump as — in response to Trump sharing a QAnon image (that has Q+ in it).

Horrific footage circulating of the National Socialist Network attacking the peaceful Camp Sovereignty in Melbourne. We've heard the main targets of their extreme violence were women.

In a new interview with a QAnon-affiliated podcast, prominent election denier David Clements said that he was "thankful for the people that do the decodes" of Q posts & suggested that people would be "foolish" to ignore the Q posts.

#BREAKING 🚨 Two officers have been killed after an ambush at a rural property in the Victorian town of Porepunkah The Age reports police were visiting the home to execute a warrant for historical sex abuse allegations, and the offender is believed to be a "sovereign citizen"

Last night, Grok erroneously wrote to a user that "Q defies dismissal as mere LARP" and that "Q is real," along with invoking the QAnon slogan.

QAnon figure Jordan Sather has posted an apparent message from fellow QAnon figure Kate Buckley regarding QAnon influencer collective We The Media (which Sather & Buckley helped create), saying Michael Flynn "asked us to rebuild WTM." Flynn previously did a Zoom call with the collective's members.

Patriots are in control. 🤣

At a recent right-wing event, far-right conspiracy theorist Lara Logan claimed that she found out from a "US intelligence source" that previously "they were harvesting adrenochrome" in Iraq.

After years of believing there's nothing new of value in Epstein's files, I'm starting to think that there's something potentially devastating to Trump there that he and his inner circle are desperate to cover up. It's amazing what telling people not to talk about something will do.

On a podcast last week, Mark Lynch, who is running against Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) next year in the Republican primary, claimed that John Podesta "was the head of Pizzagate," referring to the false far-right conspiracy theory: "Everybody remembers that, the sex trafficking of our children."

NEW Pardon Tracker Dispatch: At least 20 pardoned Capitol Rioters have been arrested or faced additional criminal charges since receiving pardons from Donald Trump, or have faced additional legal consequences for their actions after participating in the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Extremists, right-wing influencers and GOP lawmakers spent the days after the tragic Texas floods pushing conspiracies about "weather weapons." On Sunday, a weather radar system was vandalized and one extremist group is taking credit with @mollytaft.com www.wired.com/story/texas-...

I wrote this paragraph about QAnon over 3 years ago. www.mediamatters.org/qanon-conspi...

New by @abbierichards.bsky.social Google’s Veo AI video generator is seemingly being used to generate videos depicting racist and antisemitic tropes www.mediamatters.org/tiktok/racis...

This would make this at least the 2nd shooting in recent years from someone who was a fan of Infowars. The 2016 Pizzagate shooter was also a known fan of the far-right conspiracy theory outlet. www.mediamatters.org/alex-jones/a...

Now you understand the pain in Dan Bongino’s eyes. He knows. He knows about the man in the stairs who lives behind the toilet in grandma’s basement.

The view among conspiracy theory influencers about the Trump/Musk falling out is so far split between the idea that it's all fake and a coordinated plot to expose anti-Trump Republicans, and that Trump never needed Musk in the first place. Few, if any, are siding with Musk over Trump.

Trump just reposted on TruthSocial that Joe Biden was executed in 2020 and was replaced by "clones, doubles, and robotic engineered soulless mindless entities."

Honestly the best thing about Twitter these days is watching Nazis and QAnoners get into fights with Grok for not being cooked enough.

In recent days on podcasts, Oath Keepers & J6 participants Stewart Rhodes & Jessica Watkins discussed being in jail with fellow J6 participants who supported QAnon & them pushing QAnon onto Rhodes & Watkins. In response, the two said they told them it was "gibberish" & "crazy crap," respectively.

I spoke to Spectrum News about what it means when the president retweets insane QAnon memes about former presidents and current pop stars being put in front of "military tribunals." spectrumlocalnews.com/nc/triad/pol...

🚨NEW🚨 @surajlakhani.bsky.social and my new edited collection is out! Hard copy available in a few months. academic.oup.com/book/60071

NEW: I wrote about the absurd Alex Jones/"cocaine train" conspiracy theory, and why his audience is primed for nonsense that casts the leaders of the west as drugged-out hoopleheads toying with our lives. themikerothschild.com/2025/05/14/a...

Elon's efforts to alter the algorithm of his AI to suit his needs appears to have completely broken Grok, as it currently cannot stop talking about "white genocide" www.wired.com/story/grok-w...

On a Proud Boys-affiliated podcast, January 6 participant Gina Bisignano said she was "so obsessed with ... Pizzagate" & "the eating of the children" & would have on her TV QAnon-affiliated podcasts & content like "Fall of the Cabal" (along with Alex Jones).

Trump has appointed Siggy Flicker — who has previously tweeted in support of QAnon and written, "Q Rocks!!!" — to the Board of the Holocaust Memorial Council.

I can’t recall the last time I got emotional listening to a podcast but @donie.bsky.social gets it. Being a former conspiracy theorist, sometimes it’s so hard to explain to ppl the *why*. Why we fell for them. Why we stayed. If you haven’t listened yet, plz do. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

The people who’ve been able to get back out of the pit of despair and disinformation have all described one thing that was critical to allowing them to do so: a friend. www.cnn.com/2025/05/03/p...

Why it’s time we change how we talk about conspiracy theories www.cnn.com/2025/05/03/p...

An actual Enemies List of journalists and academics is circulating around the State Department. It appears to target, in part, anybody said a bad word about Alex Jones or Glenn Greenwald.

We have a new podcast launching today on irrational belief, mental health, and how we are all capable of believing crazy stuff. It’s called Persuadable. Check it out and please let me know what you think. link.chtbl.com/9zhzPzEO

Tucker Carlson's latest episode is wall to wall conspiracy theories, many of which are decades old. Global digital currency, central banking, underground bases, depopulation, free energy - this is red pill 101 for an audience that might be unfamiliar with some of these.

QAnon John dirty deleted his post about how heartbroken he is about the betrayal he feels now that Trump has returned to the presidency. But luckily for everyone, I got the screenshots 🙌🏻 I do feel bad for the dog though.

🚨 Here's the first 10 minutes of our next installment of MisinfoNation. Watch the full show Sunday night, 8p ET on @cnn.com youtu.be/Oi7jkOYKlow?...

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio yesterday claimed that QAnon was "never MAGA" & "a psyop." QAnon supporters contributed to Tarrio's defense fund in 2021, & the Proud Boys in 2020 invoked the QAnon-related terms adrenochrome & "Save Our Children."

From Luigi Mangione stans to J6ers. There's a lot going on in our next episode of MisinfoNation. Sunday 8p ET CNN

New from me, @paytonarmstrong.bsky.social, & @craigipedia.bsky.social: Trump on Truth Social amplified a video in defense of his economic & tariff policies that seems to echo a 4chan post that went around in the far right internet previously that claimed that he is purposely crashing the market.

Hey @60minutes.bsky.social I saw the trailer for the Australian show. Are we just platforming proud boys now? Showing enrique tarrio making a threat was certainly a choice @whiterosesociety.bsky.social
