But I gave some leeway, and watched to consume whatever names/places/events that might match up with that from known trusted people.

    His most recent video, titled "11th January Third Update Current News," was a red flag for me, as he claimed to have had a 90-minute phone call on an unsecured line with the real "Q". Not someone who is part of the small number of people who make up "Q" — but "Q" himself who has been doing the posting on the chan boards.

    Riiiiiiight.

    Then I found a series of four interviews that he gave. Posted below is only the first — you can find the rest if interested. Since they all run over an hour each, I can't be bothered watching them. But here are the highlights:

    He’s met and grew up with ET species such as the Mantis, the Greys and the Reptilians

    Claimed he fathered a child with an alien he regularly meets up with for extra-terrestrial sex

    Says he is beamed up for space sex four times a year by that extra-terrestrial he calls the Cat Queen and claims they have a child together called Zarka

    Said he's 1/3 human, 1/3 reptilian and 1/3 mantis

    Get the net.

    So much for trusting him for military intel.

    This is all I needed to know about Parkes...

    Plus, the Dems are considering adding DC and Puerto Rico as states. That's 4 more Dem senators and makes flipping the Senate much harder if it were to happen.

    No, the resentment at the core of Trumpism may have vestigial links to race and class, but it’s upstream of that somehow—a sort of vague cultural divide that ultimately amounts to a rejection of technocracy. After all this time, I’m not sure if anyone has really given a good definition. But if someone doesn’t recapture it soon, we’re going to find ourselves in a tough spot.
    I think much of it is "coastal elites" versus "flyover country", i.e. Bible & gun wielders, Deporables, etc. Media is centered in NY, DC, and Silicone Valley and takes a superior attitude to everyone else and its fueled anger in Trump supporters.

    Look at previous posts in this thread as an example... more died in the DC "riot" than Benghazi? The truth is 2 died from Capitol violence and 3 from medical emergencies (heart attacks) in the separate 50k rally. Are we really supposed to believe this was bloodier than Benghazi? The media wants you to believe that.

    Is it just me or are the authorities trying to hide something. Every week there are new credible reports of problems with regards to the vaccine. but of course it's not the vaccine. I wonder what cases are not being reported on.

    Yeah. Watched on video with him in it and was wondering where in the hell this guy was being leaked all this "information".

    But then maybe pillow talk is a lot different with space aliens?

    People following this sort of stuff just shows that gullibility has no political affiliation.

    Suddenly, Benghazi was a problem. You people will say quite literally ANYTHING you're told to say.

The kind of white idiot who hates his own black working class neighbour just for existing, but also has side-by-side Pro-Israel and 1776 bumper stickers, and celebrates aggressive foreign policy against Middle Eastern countries - and sees nothing contradictory about his retarded worldview.
    You do this a lot, Matt. I am a 64-year-old white man from Texas, raised by parents who grew up in the Great Depression when racial hatred was real, and I don't know a single person who simply hates black people because they are black people. I've talked about this with friends, and none of them do either. We stopped thinking like that a long time ago. It's very useful to the Left to pretend that this still exists, but the Klan has about 3000 members in a country of 330 million. Your media has misinformed you, and you're supposed to be better informed than this.

    You sit at home in the UK, constructing fantasy art about what you believe goes on in the US, and then extrapolate for hundreds of words about things you know nothing about. About every third post is this way.

    Some great things in this post, I think. I'll get to a thorough response when I'm off the clock. But I want to highlight this point, because it is a key error. Nationalism is not 'illiberal' at all; it is the quintessential mode of liberal geopolitics. Nationalism emerged out of the French and American Revolutions (often looked upon as the wellsprings of modern liberalism as well) as an alternative to monarchy, i.e. as a rebuff of traditional/reactionary/illiberal principles that had guided the sociological organization of civilization up until that point. Any analytic framework that maps these two currents 1:1 athwart each other is missing important stuff. (Of course, they are not fully in lockstep with one another, either).

    Let me offer a rhetorical question that might help reinforce this point: can you think of any liberal thinker post-1800 that was not, in some sense, a nationalist?

    Israel National News - 75 year old Israeli woman found lifeless hours after second dose of Covid-19 vaccine
    Yup, no connection there is no way there could be a connection.
    What are they not telling us. These incidents are happening on a weekly basis.
    We are the guinea pigs for the world. Hitler and Mengele would be proud!

    No, sir, I do not consider it a huge problem, but it was congressionally investigated about ten times for political brownie points and all I heard regarding Hillary Clinton for years was "Benghazi Benghazi Benghazi." "Four Americans died."

    Well, we now have actual evidence (like was not presented in HRC's hours-long congressional hearing) to support the claim that the government official who could have prevented this more recent handful of deaths has neglected to take appropriate action to do so. Therefore, its a worthwhile parallel to draw for those who got so worked up with the first. If they don't get worked up and demand accountability to the same degree now as they did then, maybe it would be worth considering that the motivations behind that outrage was not government accountability but points in the political shouting match folks get wrapped up in.
    So much unity could be found if we all held each other to a higher standard of acting in good faith in rational discourse by saying "Okay, you said this was bad then. Now we have a very similar situation that is bad for some of the same reasons for which you said the first thing was bad [a quantifiable, similar number of deaths of US citizens that could have been prevented with better decision making from the executive whose job it is to make such decisions, in this case], except the key players are on the other side of the aisle. That little detail won't prevent you from demanding justice for those whose lives were lost, right? You are as angry that this happened now then you were then, despite the 'team' responsible having switched sides, right?"

    This isn't what happens, though. People get swept up in negativity and led by the real enemies pulling the strings to believe that those hardworking decent folks with a different perspective based on different life experiences are their enemies when really we need to work together.
