Now the White Supremacists Go Fishing

 

Who knew? Apparently the QAnon crowd were expecting fireworks today in the form of Trump forces swooping down and arresting Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and their lackeys under a declaration of martial law. Only Trump bummed a free ride out of town and nobody showed up to put the cuffs on Deep State Biden. According to NBC news, the conspiracy theorists were crestfallen. They felt they had been betrayed, let down by a feckless Trump & Co.

Some of the QAnon crowd feel the whole business was a hoax. They had been punked. 

But, when one door closes, another opens. 

AI researcher Nick Backovic said that while it does appear many QAnon followers are giving up after this last failed prophecy, he has seen white supremacist recruiters “raid” QAnon groups with the explicit goal of recruiting disillusioned and hopeless conspiracy theorists.

“There are lots of people feeling shocked, cheated and angry. As scary as that is on its own, it’s the rest I’m most worried about,” Backovic said. “We’re seeing a lot of Neo-Nazis preying on the potentially disenchanted Q people.”

I expect outfits like the Boogaloo Bois, the Proud Boys, the Klan and others will find easy pickings among the QAnon casualties. They're perfect fodder for the cause. They're already conditioned to accept outlandishly crazy nonsense without the slightest shred of fact or evidence. They're gullible to the point of stupidity. They're angry. They're disillusioned. They're prepared, even looking forward to seeing people like Biden rounded up and executed. Some of them might even get fitted for explosive vests. 

God bless America, indeed.

    We can take a certain amount of satisfaction in seeing them destroy themselves from the inside out.
    They all lost their charismatic leader without him there is no cohesion of the crazies.
    Even the right wing radio nuts are self flagellating in despair as they offer competing histories of their failure .
    Truly; The emperor has no clothes , but for some it will take some getting used to.
    Perhaps we will see mass suicides in the future as the obvious takes it's toll?

      TB, who can predict how members of a cult react when the fabric of their delusions collapses? Heaven's Gate, Jim Jones' Peoples Temple, the Solar Temple, Branch Davidians, that crazed bunch in Japan and many more. Often they don't end well. I expect we'll learn a lot more about the various branches of the Trump cult over the next few months. The US security establishment has some of these groups and their leaders on their watch list.

    .. with no intent to insult or ..
    Its quite 'odd' the rise of fantasy belief - the Qanon factions. Its kind of like 'flat earth' - faked moon landing or truly serious Mormon believers.. wearing odd undergarments.. all based on the declarations of a guy who stuck his head in a black bag with magic stones - whatever. Hillary BBQ'ing babies in the basement of a pizza parlour.. I dunno, the 'coming Rapture' or The Immaculate Conception, Moses of the Bullrushers.

    I maintain that lead poisoning is rampant down there - and Mad Hatter syndrome.. something in the air ? Or the lead water pipes ? LSD or meth ? Mebbe the lead in barn paint ?

    Will we ever see Mr Ed, the talking horse ascendant ? Or Gilligan ? Senator Ted Cruz thinks the Paris Agreement is about the citizens of Paris.. the Citizens of Geneva are behind that Convention.. the mind whirls just thinking that mink may take over the world, bite us all in the ass.. the possibilities are endless

    Beware the frumious bandersnatch and the undertoad Mound.. horde gunpoweder and keep it dry eh ! The time is nigh !! Or is it neigh ! Will ask Mr Ed.. he comin by for some beers later

Up in Smoke. 300 Sq. Mi. of Amazon Rainforest Lost Every Day.

Image
  The Amazon rainforest is disappearing at what should be an alarming rate. 312 sq. mi. or 808 sq. kms. every day. Over the past 30 years humans have destroyed a patch of the Amazon equal in area to the states of Texas and New Mexico . The Amazon – historically a great carbon absorber, since trees take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen – now releases more carbon than it stores, which adds to, rather helps to reduce, our global climate crisis. Deforestation rates decreased slightly from 2004 to 2012. But since then, they’re back on the rise, especially in the past couple of years, since Jair Bolsonaro became president of Brazil. In 2018, as Bolsonaro campaigned as a patriotic man of the people, scientists predicted that once the Amazon lost more than 25% of its tree cover, it would become a drier ecosystem, all because deforestation changes weather patterns (due to how trees respire), which in turn reduces rainfall. Furthermore, as the forest becomes fragmented, areas surrounded by

The Cognoscenti Syndrome

  There is a group of people I think of as the Cognoscenti, people who are well educated, very informed and of rapidly diminishing relevance. Their ranks include writers such as Chris Hedges and Glen Greenwald. These are people who have honed an almost Puritanical value system, readily finding fault in any direction. They are scathing in their attacks on Republicans and Democrats alike to the point where they become nihilists. They don't endorse. They prescribe. This is where they fail. They're unable to advocate for anything that might resonate with the public whose interests they argue are being trammeled. Donald Trump was bad but Joe Biden is scarcely better. This is where their elitism comes in.  74 million may have voted for Trump but, hey, they didn't know any better. The mob that stormed the Capitol. They were just victims of the system venting their frustrations. All the racism, bigotry, xenophobia, misogyny, white nationalism - inevitable side effects of their oppr

"Creeping Normalcy" in the Plague Age

Image
  Britain is experiencing a new wave of Covid cases, 40,000 per day .  Yet it hasn't caused much reaction from the public. It sounds like the legendary stiff upper lip, the "Keep Calm and Carry On" resolve. Health officials think it's something much more troubling. “We’re in a phase where we still have large numbers of people dying from this disease,” said Linda Bauld, professor of public health at the University of Edinburgh. “But it has gone into the background. We’ve become used to something that has not gone away. I think there’s been a desensitisation to the mortality.” On Thursday, the UK reported more than 45,000 new coronavirus cases – the most since mid-July – and more than 800 deaths were reported in the past seven days. Hospitalisations are rising, with one-fifth of ICU beds occupied by Covid patients, and the latest figures showed an estimated 200,000 pupils absent from school. The UK is faring far worse than its European neighbours, with a rate of death
