    Jonathan,

    [...] William needs to study propaganda more and learn the difference between attraction messages, bonding messages, persuasion messages (including spin), and calls to action. He always leads, ends and does the middle with what he imagines the persuasion part (and probably congratulates himself on his own cleverness as he gets in one more piece of snark). But, so far, I've only seen the kind of mockery whites used to do against blacks in the Old South, or Nazis did against Jews, and on and on.  

    But I don't believe William is a bigot, albeit his humor tends to play only in that key. Here's proof he is not.

    When nobody shows up, he wonders why nobody cares, gets frustrated, then tries to mock the general public, too. True bigots stay on target.

    Intriguing perceptions or informed guesses about the insides of William's mind. As with all psychic investigations, you get what you pay for.

    Bigotry as a concept in my mind is identified by fixity of belief and hostility to correction, and a couple of other indicia. The difference between "She was bigoted in her views" and "She was not bigoted in her views" kind of captures the need for distinctions that matter.

    Anyhow, the world of Q is having a week. There is an ongoing factional struggle among promoters, on several axes. If you follow my Q-Watchers league or are a Telegram user following Q-focused accounts, you will have noted UFO/UAP issues and anti-semitism issues developing. Basically, factional leaders are signalling 'Don't Taint Us With [X]' ... 'Don't let GhostEzra-ish Jew hate dirty up our movement.'   

    But this is new. 

    Jordan Sather is struggling with infamy ...

    How would you and I know if Plimer's views as presented in Heaven and Earth are correct, Peter?

    I took Physical Geography many years ago and much of what I learned at University supported Plimer's views. 

    Here's a critical 2009 review of Heaven and Earth, by Gus Van Horn at the Objective Standard:

    Review: Heaven and Earth, by Ian Plimer

    Quote

    [...] Wouldn’t it be nice if a scientist wrote a book carefully documenting and explaining, in layman’s terms, the cases for and against man-made global warming? Then, we could determine for ourselves which claims are supported by evidence and logic.

    Based on favorable publicity from conservative media and politicians, Ian Plimer’s Heaven and Earth: Global Warming, the Missing Science would appear to be just such a book. Plimer claims to present an “integrated scientific understanding of the environment,” and the book—chock-full of figures and graphs and containing more than 2,300 footnotes in its 504 pages—certainly makes a powerful first impression. Add to that EU President (and noted climate-change skeptic) Vaclav Klaus’s statement that the work is “clear, understandable, and very useful,” and a good grasp of the arguments for and against man-made global warming would seem to be just a few hundred pages away.

    Unfortunately, Heaven and Earth utterly fails to deliver on its promise.

    The current warming of the planet will continue to affect areas closest to the equator.

    And "Polar Amplification"?

    4 hours ago, Peter said:

    Professor Plimer, a geologist at the University of Adelaide, argued persuasively that warming is not caused by man but by the sun.

    I read Plimer's book "Heaven and Earth: Global Warming – The Missing Science." As with any book that purports to be authoritative, it has had mixed reviews. It can take time to analyze claims made.

    How would you and I know if Plimer's views as presented in Heaven and Earth are correct, Peter?

    I usually recommend climate change "dismissives" take a good look inside Spencer Weart's history book The Discovery of Global Warming. An excerpt that shouldn't tax anybody appeared in Scientific American in 2012.

    [...] “People asked me, ‘You’re going to let everything go? Porn? Swearing? Everything?’ And I said, ‘Absolutely not,'” Lindell said. “We have a thing we found in the Constitution and our founding fathers that defines what free speech is. And Eric, get this, this Judeo-Christian platform we’re going to have here, they go by biblical principles—you know, you get to the Supreme Court, you have the 10 Commandments there—so, in other words, you’re not going to have porn up there, you’re not going to have these sites that contain material that go against our Constitution, go against what our founding fathers put in there.”

    “You’re not going to be able to swear,” Lindell added. “There will be four words for sure you can’t say: You can’t say the C-word, the N-word, the F-word, and you can’t use God’s name in vain. What a concept. Right?”

    “Wow,” Metaxas responded. “That’s really puritanical. I like it.”

    Lindell then insisted that users will also not be allowed to violate the Ninth Amendment by bearing false witness against others on his platform.

    “What I’m not going to do is suppress true free speech,” he said. “When someone goes out there and says, ‘I don’t like what’s going down at the border,’ or ‘I don’t like that our country was attacked and nobody’s trying to know you did anything about it or is doing anything about it,’ that’s free speech. Another thing you can’t do [is] what we define in there is totally defame someone. What’s the Ninth Commandment? I can’t even think now, but in the Ninth Commandment, you’re bearing false witness, I believe it is. So, if you’re putting a complete lie against Eric; if I say, ‘Eric Metaxas did something terrible’ and it’s an out and out lie, that’s not free speech. That is not free speech.”

    A good article at Vox:  Satanic Panic’s long history — and why it never really ended — explained

    Quote

    [...]

    The Q conspiracy quickly became known as QAnon — the name for both the theory itself and Q’s followers. As QAnon spread, it became a textbook example of Satanic Panic in action; its followers weaponized parents’ fears of harm coming to their children to spread the message across social media. The group used hashtags like the superficially unobjectionable #SaveTheChildren, and disguised itself against takedown attempts by Facebook by masquerading as a straightforward anti-trafficking community.

    But just as the original spread of Satanic Panic masked prejudice, hostility to change, and fear of the other beneath all its performative concern for the welfare of children, Qanon, too, hid something much darker. In 2019, the FBI identified QAnon as a domestic terrorist threat, citing numerous acts of violence and militant recruitment efforts being done in the name of QAnon. This pattern came to a head in January 2021, when hundreds of QAnon supporters joined the insurrection at the US Capitol.

    There are some clear differences between QAnon and the original era of Satanic Panic: QAnon is a political movement with real political power. And while Satanic Panic was fueled by religious zeal, QAnon is almost a religion unto itself. Still, the tools used to spread both ideas — alarmism, fearmongering, hysteria, and reports of wildly gothic scenes of blood-drinking, children harvested for body parts, and witches — are virtually identical.

    Where does all of this leave us?

    Below is a transcript of a brief excerpt from  Zoellner and Clark's "Thrive Time Radio Show" Fireside Chat #15" (full video via YouTube below). I have dated the first appearance to no later than March 10.  The second-party video below is cued up to just before the transcripted passages about Ryan Dark White's credibility as a 'whistleblower.'

    L Lin Wood responds to questions in the air about "whistleblower" Ryan Dark White's credibility.

    Bill, is there a transcript for this?

    Yes, and I will plug the tool that let me get a fairly decent transcript for pennies a word: Spext.co -- which tool I am just learning. Funny how our druthers differ for our mental input devices.

    I will bang this into shape when I get back to the desktop; this is corrected to get as close to verbatim as possible.

    Quote

    Now Lynn you you posted on Telegram you said "as I have earlier made clear, I found the Whistleblower interview regarding chief justice Roberts former vice president Pence and other high-ranking officials to be credible. More dots are being connected by Third parties that suggest that The Whistleblower interview about Roberts, Pence etc is credible." 

    Lynn, you are a very credible attorney. Again, you've gone against CNN multiple times and won -- what about the Whistleblower makes somebody credible or not credible because a lot of our listeners want to know what makes a credible whistleblower versus a non-credible whistleblower. 

    Whell credibility is one of the key elements in the courtroom. You got to be credible as a lawyer. You got to be credible as a witness. Your story has to be credible has to be believable. This whistleblower tells a story that shocking as it may be is credible and believable. I also watched interviews and you give around two years ago with an investigator. His story then compared to his story now is consistent ... consistency in your story builds credibility. 

    Plus I know that he's involved in ... was involved in a criminal matter in Maryland. And I know what got him criminally charged what they try to do to him. I know he told me there's a document or a body of documents in that litigation, sealed under a claim of National Security. Boy oh boy, if those documents are not there wonder why somebody disposed of them, but if they're there, challenge  it you're going to find is no National Security. 

    It was filed for the security of a man named Rod Rosenstein also trying to protect Chief justice Roberts also trying to protect Hillary Clinton. Also trying to protect former vice president Mike Pence . Now listen, I didn't say these accusations. I heard them from a man that I spent four or five days within person,  that I believe had no reason to tell that story for his own personal gain. He didn't ask me for money. 

    I know his real name. I've had people that I've learned I know are connected with the CIA that have been trying to tell me don't believe this man. He's setting you up. Well, if he's setting me up he's setting me up. He's really good at it. I don't think he set me up. Nobody has gone in and investigated his story. 

    Instead they want to get headlines attacking me for making the accusation. I didn't make it. I simply repeated what a credible whistleblower told me. Nobody's going after the whistle blower or are they? 

    I think he's safe now, although he's lived under the fear of death with him and his wife for several years. I know he was tortured. His story -- I told him I said would you come down if I needed you in the state of Georgia and testify live under oath. 

    He said Mr. Wood. I love God. I know I'm going to heaven even if they kill me. I'm willing to tell the truth. I have resolved the issue of fear of death. If that man comes into a courtroom and testifies the world better watch and they'll judge his credibility for themselves, but I know that there's a mounting evidence supporting what this man is saying. 

    So let's find out why hasn't Mercer University looked into it. I sent him the video. Yeah, why hasn't the lawyers Club of Atlanta looked into it? I send the video. Why hasn't the State Bar of Georgia looked into it? I sent them the video and I sent everyone of them a massive amount of Hard Evidence of election fraud. 

    They are trying to take my law-license saying you file lawsuits challenging the legitimacy of election, but wait a minute it never what lawyers do Frank we have Constitutional to petition our government for Grievances. And now look I'd look them and say what did you look at the evidence? Because if you looked at the evidence, you may not agree with me but there's plenty of evidence to support the legitimacy of the lawsuits are filed. 

    They don't want to look at the evidence. They don't want to look at the truth. They want to attack the messenger so that people will not look at my message but people are listening. It's not because they know me it's because they listen to what I say and they know. No to the best of my imperfect ability. I try to tell them the truth. I make a mistake. I admit it. I'm not perfect. I'm imperfect. 

    But my message has been consistent for 43 years as a lawyer. I have always aggressively pursued true to achieve Justice. I'm the same lawyer now that I was 43 years ago, six or seven months ago everybody in the country was telling you I've run Woods great lawyer real professional lawyer. What happened nothing. They don't like my message because it goes against their political agenda and the efforts to seize control of our government which they are undertaking now and we're watching our constitutional rights slip away quickly. We got to stop it and we got to get back behind the founding fathers and the things that this country was formed what we believed in we believed in truth. We believed in God, Justice. We believed in equal treatment. We believed in Freedom.

    From Telegram's Patrick Byrne Chat channel, author unclear.

    Ryan Dark White has really been around, it seems.

    Quote

    Mr White describes Joe Biden as a “well-known pedophile” and he says that in many of those videos we’ve all seen of Biden sniffing children in front of their family members as they’re being sworn-into their government posts, those children have been promised to him for his role in the securing those positions for their parents. White said, Joe “can’t control himself because he’s anticipating his payoff. So, that’s why you see these sniffing videos.”
    Moreover, Jill Biden knew about his perversions going into the marriage. Indeed, she was 15 and Joe was 30 when they began dating. White says the Biden grandchildren are all sexual abuse victims, as well.
    • Space economist, Molly McCauley was murdered by the same crooked DEA henchmen associated with Rod Rosenstein’s “Dirty Tricks Squad” according to White, because it was she who figured out that they were using satellites to steal elections, using the Hammer supercomputer with Scorecard and Sunrise software. Rod Rosenstein was heavily involved with the Hammer program.
    • What really happened to Seth Rich. I had suspected that White was the whistleblower who came forward on the 2-year anniversary of Seth Rich’s murder, in July of 2018, when Matt Couch and a Republican lobbyist, Mark Burkman set up a press conference to introduce him as a new witness in the Seth Rich murder case. At that time, he was called “Luke” and he phoned into the event, to protect his identity.
    It was clear to me that this “Luke” from the 2018 Seth Rich press conference was the same person as “Ryan Dark White”, as well as the same person who is known on Twitter as “@JohnHeretoHelp” and this was confirmed in the transcript.
    Despite his many different aliases, White has consistently described himself as an intelligence veteran, a terrorism consultant and expert witness for the US Attorney’s Office in Maryland but the July 2018 event was fraught with technical problems, which made it come off as very amateurish and it was widely derided by people on both the Left and the Right.
    White’s account of the Seth Rich murder was very non-partisan at a time when everyone on the Right was convinced that Seth Rich was murdered by the DNC.
    White alleged that Rod Rosenstein was behind the murder. Seth’s DNC email breach would reveal Rosenstein’s operation with the DOJ’s (and the Republicans’) to tamper and alter the DNC’s emails throughout the course of the Obama Administration. And it would also reveal that they began spying on Hillary’s private server, almost as soon as it went live.
    Back in 2018, it was hard to imagine this level of corruption and it went over most peoples’ heads but after everything we’ve seen, especially since the 2020 Election, it makes a lot more sense.
    What we learn about the Seth Rich murder with Lin Wood’s release of the full transcript is that it wasn’t intended to be a murder and it really was a “botched robbery”, as claimed.
    The MS-13 gang members who were hired and transported to DC from out-of-state by Rosenstein’s DEA henchmen, they were contracted to steal Seth Rich’s thumb drive containing the DNC server data and to replace it with another thumb drive that had all of the incriminating data pointing back to Rosenstein and the DOJ removed.
    For years, we’ve heard rumors that Donna Brazile was at the hospital where Seth was taken and White confirms this in the full transcript. I specifically remember a Reddit post about a week after Seth’s death in 2016 from a male nurse working at the hospital where Seth had been taken, saying that Brazile showed up at the hospital that night and that Seth’s room was cordoned off and he was denied treatment.
    White says that Donna Brazile and her girlfriend, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser were waiting at the hospital before Seth was even brought in, and they also had people at the crime scene, in order to recover the thumb drive, which everybody knew Seth always kept on his person.
    Rod Rosenstein’s hitmen had to quickly replace Seth’s thumb drive with his sanitized version before the DNC people could get to it and it looks like in the tussle to do that, Seth was ki

    HBO premieres a six-part Q documentary tonight. 

    From Salon's Melanie McFarland, via Raw Story:

    Quote

    [...] Long story short, Cullen Hoback's docuseries "Q: Into the Storm" is a crazy wall realized as a six-episode HBO Max docuseries. Any extended dive into the world of QAnon probably needs to be in order to understand how this mutating, supersized conspiracy theory infecting mainstream culture to an alarming degree came to be. Hoback traipses down several key timelines in the modern Internet's history and the rise of troll culture as he begins to explain it: What starts with the comedy meme site Something Awful in the late '90s morphs into the Anonymous hacktivist collective, Gamergate, the incel movement and Pizzagate.

    Ryan Dark White's multiple claims in the two interviews (neither of which are technically affidavits) range over time -- without giving specific dates for events and occurrences he says he witnessed or knows to have happened.

    As Ellen and ThatGuy might well have discovered as they review White's utterances, in the 2019 video he mentions that the "Voice of God" energy helped him recover from torture (among other things). 

    Does he talk about his federal trial[§] in either interview? Perhaps, but I haven't caught it yet.

    § -- he talks about false arrest, imprisonment and protracted torture, with extremely dire effects, but this covered a time circa 2008-9; I'll report in if and when I discover him discussing his later trial and imprisonment, circa 2017.

    He also says yes, records exist corroborating his torture.

    The same problem attended the "Kraken" suits -- a lack of due diligence or vetting of affiant "expert testimony." Ryan Dark White is one such affiant, the Kraken suits brought forward such as Ramsland, 'Spyder,' .

    In any case, the Georgia Bar suit was made public by Wood in its entirety. 

    LLW-grievanceTitlePage.png

    1677 pages in the full PDF file.  Acres and acres of attachments and exhibits from various "Kraken" efforts and stages. If you want to understand L Lin Wood right how, dipping in to the complaint pays off.  Here, for example is the table of contents from one such exhibit;  the section that takes the Powell/Wood "experts" to task shows the extent of incompetence.

    An excerpt from pages 1533-37 (footnotes/case notes removed):

    Quote

    E. The Declarations and Analyses “Supporting” the Complaint Were Full of Intentional Lies

    The Complaint also relies heavily on “expert” declarations and affidavits, many heavily redacted. As the district court held in Bowyer, “the ‘expert reports’ reach implausible conclusions, often because they are derived from wholly unreliable sources.”

    [...] 1. Spyder/Spider

    Plaintiffs’ “experts” rely on the partially redacted declaration of “Spider” or “Spyder,” who Plaintiffs identify as “a former US Military Intelligence expert” and a “former electronic intelligence analyst with 305th Military Intelligence” Compl. ¶¶ 17, 161. But this was a lie by Plaintiffs’ counsel. Plaintiffs did not properly redact the declarant’s name when they filed the same affidavit in a different court, and it was publicly disclosed that the declarant’s name was Joshua Merritt. While in the Army, Merritt enrolled in a training program at the 305th Military Intelligence Battalion, the unit he cites in his declaration, but he never completed the entry-level training course. A spokeswoman for the U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence, which includes the battalion, stated “[h]e kept washing out of courses … [h]e’s not an intelligence analyst.” Ex. 17. According to the Washington Post, “Merritt blamed ‘clerks’ for Powell’s legal team, who he said wrote the sentence [and] said he had not read it carefully before he signed his name swearing it was true. Id. He stated that “My original paperwork that I sent in didn’t say that.” Id. He later stated that “he had decided to remove himself from the legal effort altogether” (which has not happened). Id.

    So why has Wood become so popular among QAnon adherents? He offers new storylines. 

     

    For me, one of the most intriguing storylines was one that L Lin Wood began to develop back in December -- within the assertions that he had reason to believe "heinous crimes" had been committed by plotters Rod Rosenstein, Mike Pence and John Roberts. 

    The reality of the alleged crimes rested on the stories told by Wood's "whistleblower," specifically on an affidavit by said whistleblower -- the pseudonymous 'Ryan Dark White.' Of his social media accusations against Roberts et al Wood claimed "My posts are protected speech and I have credible whistleblower evidence to support the truth of my statements”).

    One might say 'The 'proof is in the pudding,' or -- as Wood suggested when making this public, "You can judge for yourself."

    Quote

    [...]

    Wood’s official Telegram account has over 830,000 followers, which is far and away the most of any major QAnon figure.[...]

    The next biggest QAnon channel on Telegram belongs to an anonymous influencer with 250,000 followers. The third-most-popular QAnon  channel, created by a group of major QAnon influencers, has amassed just over 200,000 followers.

    Wood’s account is a mixture of conspiracy theories, Bible Scriptures, pictures of his home in South Carolina, and promises that any day now the truth will come out.

    So why has Wood become so popular among QAnon adherents? He offers new storylines.

    Another way of looking at it: Here is what some unbelieving chroniclers have to report about QAnon and the Capitol riot:

    On to arguing about "You."

    Quote

    With all due respect, get perspective about Q and QAnon from you?

    The truncated quote led to the QAnonanonymous podcast, the latest of which OL readers might find sobering. Some OL readers might mistake me pointing to a resource as a personal attack upon their morality. Who knows?

    I've tried to warn people against the Q hoax, on balance rather poorly.  I have empathy for those who slipped under the spell of the Q hoax, especially those who were most vulnerable to suggestion. In extreme cases, obsessive cult-follower behaviour can lead to side-effects: cut off family, wrecked relationships and worse; I have residual anger against deliberate behaviour that amplified the worst effects of the hoax while knowing that it was a con. I mean folks knowingly in on the grift, who make money from gulling the vulnerable, stoking their fears, feeding their fantasies.

    In the broadests strokes, I believe the QAnon "movement" has done terrible damage. January 6 being the most obvious example.

    Here's an old fan favourite, Alex Jones. Does this resonate with "You People"?

    (14) uFo-dis·ci·ple on Twitter: "@PostDisclosure https://t.co/jD9SXZGM3m Musical version is more catchy" / Twitter

    I think I missed a few chances and made several blunders early on in this thread. I had initially hoped to get some discussion going, but that did not happen. Maybe the original blog post was seen as yet another WSS obsession with weird, tiny sects of belief that were irrelevant on an ostensibly "Ayn Rand influenced" web forum. Maybe Jonathan expressed a general silent consensus in his highlighted message above. He has since said fuck all of consequence about the phenomenon.

    It's almost tragic that Objectivist Living is in some ways right now a QAnon echo-chamber. I mean -- where do you go from here?

    Full colour vision:

    A final boring rehash recommend for the podcast episode: it will tell you what "non-believers" say they have discovered about the intersection of QAnon and the events of January 6th.  If you consider You People WSS-Qnamous an enemy, a group of propagandists for the dark side, listening will let you know exactly what is on the Darkness's mind -- just what it is The Dark thinks it knows.
