Assange Prosecution Relied On False Testimony From A Diagnosed Sociopath And Convicted Pedophile

The Icelandic newspaper Stundin reports that a key witness in the US prosecution of Julian Assange has admitted in an interview with the outlet that he fabricated critical accusations in the indictment against the WikiLeaks founder.

“A major witness in the United States’ Department of Justice case against Julian Assange has admitted to fabricating key accusations in the indictment against the Wikileaks founder,” Stundin reports. “The witness, who has a documented history with sociopathy and has received several convictions for sexual abuse of minors and wide-ranging financial fraud, made the admission in a newly published interview in Stundin where he also confessed to having continued his crime spree whilst working with the Department of Justice and FBI and receiving a promise of immunity from prosecution.”

BREAKING: Lead witness in US case against Julian Assange admits to fabricating evidence against him in exchange for a deal with the FBI #Assange https://t.co/kZxsTi62q0

— WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) June 26, 2021

This major witness would be Iceland’s Sigurdur “Sigi” Thordarson, a paid FBI informant who after his short-lived association with WikiLeaks has been found guilty of sexually abusing nine boys as well as embezzlement, fraud, and theft in his home country. A court-appointed psychologist has found him to be a sociopath.

“The court found that Sigurður is by all definitions a sociopath, suffering from a severe anti-social personality disorder. However, the court found that he did know the difference between right and wrong and could not be considered insane and could therefore stand trial,” Iceland Magazine reported in 2015 during Thordarson’s child abuse case.

This was all public knowledge when the US government was building its case to extradite Julian Assange to America and try him under the Patriot Act for journalistic activity which exposed US war crimes, a prosecution for which Assange is still locked up in Belmarsh Prison pending Washington’s appeal of a UK court’s denial of the extradition request. And now we know for a fact that the odious person whose testimony formed the basis for much of that prosecution was lying.

“US officials presented an updated version of an indictment against him to a Magistrate court in London last summer,” Stundin says. “The veracity of the information contained therein is now directly contradicted by the main witness, whose testimony it is based on.”

What this means is that the US decided to add more accusations to its previous indictment because charging a journalist for standard journalistic practices was too weak on its own, and now this decision has bitten them in the ass.

The article’s authors explain that contrary to the claims in that indictment, “Thordarson now admits to Stundin that Assange never asked him to hack or access phone recordings of MPs” and “further admits the claim, that Assange had instructed or asked him to access computers in order to find any such recordings, is false.”

Judge Baraitser: "he also asked [Thordarson] to hack into computers to obtain information including audio recordings of phone conversations between high-ranking officials, including members of the Parliament, of the government of “NATO country 1”.”

This is false, says Thordarson https://t.co/oDXLARJuGK

Recent FBI Crime Spree Involves Murder, Rape, Blackmail, Spying, Child Molestation, and Conpiracy

I came across this pretty disgusting story in my newsfeed today entitled “Another FBI Agent Arrested for Raping Small Children” where I immediately thought “another?!” I never even heard of the first one, so I started digging and discovered that the FBI has been on quite a degenerate crime spree that’s mostly gone under-reported as they attempt to cover it up.

FBI agent David Harris was just arrested after having molesting kids unhindered for 5 years, and is just now being charged with “aggravated crimes against nature” which if you’re wondering what that even means, it means forced sodomy or bestiality. He’s one of two FBI agents recently charged for sodomizing children under 13.

On April 27, another FBI Agent also working out of the New Orleans office, Christopher Bauer was arrested for forced sodomy on an 11 year old female relative. He managed to do this while working as an Alabama state trooper while already on suspension from the FBI for raping a female coworker by knife point. Apparently, he had been raping his coworker repeatedly for over a year and threatening her that he would “destroy” her if she came forward. She eventually did come forward but only after stress caused her body weight to drop below 100 lbs and her hair fell out. Thing is, the suspension for the rape occurred in 2018….so what the hell was this guy doing walking around for two years like nothing happened? The FBI is claiming they didn’t “find enough evidence” to criminally charge him. I’m supposed to believe the FBI didn’t have the resource and skills to get to the bottom of it….or did they just not want their department to look bad? For the record, the FBI is blaming Alabama law enforcement for not doing a good enough background check, for which they replied that they believe the FBI deliberately hid information about his past behavioral problems from them.

The article also mentions that it was just one in a string of sexual assaults, swept under the rug by ranking FBI agents:

An assistant FBI director retired after he was accused of drunkenly groping a female subordinate in a stairwell. Another senior FBI official left after he was found to have sexually harassed eight employees. Yet another high-ranking FBI agent retired after he was accused of blackmailing a young employee into sexual encounters.

U.S. firms aiding and abetting China's 'malign' push for world dominance, lawmakers say

China has set a goal of global domination by 2049, coercing U.S. firms to give up technology, intellectual property and capital, Republicans on House Intelligence Committee say.

China is waging a "malign" campaign for global domination by 2049, coaxing or coercing U.S. firms to give up technology and intellectual property, usurping U.S. capital to build its companies and supplanting critical American supply chains, House Intelligence Committee Republicans warned Sunday in a memo outlining the stark challenges between Washington and Beijing.

The lawmakers led by Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), the panel's ranking Republican, announced they had begun an investigation into China's intentions on U.S. soil and the vulnerabilities they create and identified several preliminary conclusions from the evidence gathered so far.

"China is executing a plan to undermine and co-opt U.S. business," Nunes told Just the News. "Corporate America needs to understand that China is targeting them, often using lucrative access to Chinese markets as a means to acquire their technology and innovations, and even to force them to suppress their own employees' freedom of speech on China issues."

The most stark warning in the memo is that U.S. companies and financiers are aiding and abetting China's push — wittingly and unwittingly — to replace the United States as the premier global power.

"The Chinese government's grip on business is a powerful platform for malign influence," the memo stated.

"U.S. businesses are being manipulated and/or coerced into sharing key technologies with China and helping Beijing acquire sensitive intellectual property, which benefits China-based firms at the expense of U.S. industry," it added.

You can read the full memo here:

China_investigation_three_pager.pdf

The lawmakers wrote that U.S. firms have been "receiving guidance and direction from Chinese officials to influence business operations, investment strategy, and strategic directions," and American executives in some cases "have halted or changed business initiatives and strategy due to concerns of Chinese opposition, resulting in self-censorship."

The memo also accused pro-China firms in America of acting as de facto lobbyists for the communist regime.

"The CCP influences U.S. industry and financial leaders to pressure local, state, and federal executives and legislatures to take actions that benefit Beijing," it warned.

The memo's release emerges a year after the coronavirus pandemic exposed enormous gaps in the U.S. medical supply chain due to reliance on Chinese pharmaceuticals and supplies like masks and gowns.

The GOP lawmakers said China views such U.S. reliance on Beijing's products as a security advantage. "China has articulated its understanding that its position in the U.S. supply chain could be exploited to jeopardize U.S. national security," the memo written by ranking member Rep. Devin Nunes' team said.

The vulnerabilities, the lawmakers said, are "particularly critical in supply chains for key commercial products, medical supplies, pharmaceuticals, and rare earth minerals."

China also is exploiting American capital markets to fund its strategy, overtly using "American investment managers and banks to gain opportunities for strategic investments in U.S. startups, innovative technologies, biosciences, and manufacturing" and sometimes hiding ties to the communist regimes.

"Chinese firms use complex structures that obscure risks, state ties, and other corporate details, hindering U.S. government oversight and U.S. investors' legal recourse in the event of fraud," the memo warned.

Air Force Cadet 1 of 2 Killed in Small Plane Crash in Texas

CLEBURNE, Texas (AP) — An U.S. Air Force Academy cadet was one of two people killed in the crash of a small plane south of Fort Worth, Texas, this week, a military official said.

Lt. Gen. Richard Clark, superintendent of the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado, said on Twitter that Nick Duran, a junior, died in the crash Thursday while home in Texas on leave.

“He was our brother — a friend, teammate, and classmate — and will always be a part of USAFA,” Clark said. “I am so proud of how our cadets have leaned on each other and honored Nick’s life.”

The Tarrant County medical examiner's office said Duran, who was 20, died of blunt force injuries.

The Federal Aviation Administration said the wreckage of the single-engine Grumman/American Aviation AA-1A with two people aboard was found Thursday near Cleburne after it had been declared missing.

The Texas Department of Public Safety said two people were confirmed dead. DPS said the plane was located just west of Cleburne Regional Airport.

Cleburne is located about 30 miles south of Fort Worth.

The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the accident.

U.S. Catholic Bishops Say There Will Be 'No National Policy' on Denying Communion to Pro-Abortion Politicians

Members of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops are trying to clarify their position and deal with the confusion caused by their announcement last week that they would create a teaching document on the Holy Eucharist or the meaning of Communion. The statement caused many to speculate that the church was looking to deny President Joe Biden and other pro-abortion Catholic politicians from receiving Communion.

The speculation was misplaced, said the bishops.

“There will be no national policy on withholding Communion from politicians,” the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops said in a Q&A document dated June 21.

“The intent is to present a clear understanding of the Church’s teachings to bring heightened awareness among the faithful of how the Eucharist can transform our lives and bring us closer to our creator and the life he wants for us,” the document continued.

The bishops say the document being drafted is “not meant to be disciplinary in nature, nor is it targeted at any one individual or class of persons.” But it would spell out “the responsibility of every Catholic” to live in accordance with the church’s teachings.

The Hill:

The committee vote last week triggered debate within the church over whether Biden and other politicians should be denied the right to participate in communion based on their stance on abortion.

Jayd Henricks, a former top lay official with the bishops conference, told The Washington Post on Friday that though Biden’s election set in motion the document’s creation, bishops have a larger concern about Catholics not understanding communion.

He clarified that the use of the words “national policy” was about “giving guidance on a national level,” The Post reported.

The bishops are a conservative group with many having expressed the opinion that Biden and other Democratic politicians like Nancy Pelosi who not only support abortion but advocate for it, are not in a “state of grace” which is necessary to receive Communion. Pope Francis has tried to straddle the issue but is in favor of not “weaponizing” Communion as a “political weapon.”

America’s Largest Health Care Union Vows to Fight Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccines

Earlier this month, NewYork-Presbyterian became the first hospital system in the state to require employees to get vaccinated against COVID-19. It’s a step that a growing number of hospitals across the country are taking, but one that 1199SEIU, the largest health care union in the country, is prepared to fight.

“Whether there is a legal challenge that we can make, or whether it’s just a pure organizational challenge that we can make, we are not going to just give in,” George Gresham, president of 1199SEIU, told WNYC/Gothamist. The union is headquartered in New York City but represents health care workers throughout the state and in Massachusetts, New Jersey, Maryland, Florida and Washington, D.C.

Gresham emphasized that he got vaccinated and has encouraged all union members to do so, but that he believes medical workers “have the right to make their decision about their own health.” Gresham said union delegates met with Dr. Steve Corwin, president and CEO of NewYork-Presbyterian, to express their concerns last week.

Another health care union, the New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA), has voiced opposition to mandatory vaccination, although it did not respond to requests for comment for this story.

Likewise, when WNYC/Gothamist contacted NewYork-Presbyterian to respond to the unions’ stances, it pointed to a memo sent to staff on June 11th. The memo says all employees must take at least one COVID-19 shot by September 1st to keep their jobs. Those seeking a medical or religious exemption must apply for one by August 1st. About 70% of staff at NewYork-Presbyterian have been vaccinated so far.

“The stakes in this matter are high, and the evidence is clear that getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is the most important and responsible action we can take as NYP team members for the safety and well-being of our patients and visitors, our communities, and ourselves,” read the memo, signed by Dr. Corwin and Dr. Laura Forese, chief operating officer at NewYork-Presbyterian.

Other hospitals in the New York City area are considering similar policies. Northwell Health, the largest hospital system in the state, requires all new hires, volunteers and students working in its facilities to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and will soon order employees who are not inoculated to submit to regular testing for the coronavirus. About 75% of Northwell staff have taken shots so far.

Meanwhile, only 57% of employees at NYC Health + Hospitals are fully vaccinated, but the city’s public hospital system has no plans to make the shots a condition of employment. The COVID-19 vaccine rollout has stalled in the city and nationwide, even as the delta variant causes new outbreaks in highly inoculated populations overseas.

Gary D Barnett - Genocide, The Plot Going Forward

The completely fraudulent 'Covid pandemic' was used as the catalyst to begin the process of the claimed "Great Reset" in order to allow the elite few, with the help of the owned and controlled political class, to take over the planet.

But this is only the beginning of the process, as a multi-sided attack against the people is at this point imminent in my view. The 'virus' and 'pandemic' scare will continue once fall arrives, and the 'variant' scheme will intensify, but that will simply be a distraction compared to the scope of the real operation.

The plot going forward will come from many angles, all meant to cause fear and panic. As I stated recently, there will be "farm and ranch destruction, food shortages, hyper-inflation, staged cyber attacks, utility and power grid shutdowns, forced water shortages, high death counts due to immune system destruction by toxic injections, more lockdowns, extreme civil unrest and violence, digitizing monetary systems, passports to move about, and surveillance of everything."

In addition, there could be more war or conflict with China, Iran, or Russia, as is being stoked now, and purposeful economic destruction could certainly occur in the near term.

The elephant in the room will likely be linked to unproven manmade 'climate change,' which will lead to new lockdowns, quarantines, surveillance, and supply chain disruptions based on this manufactured false flag deception being perpetrated by the ruling class and its media.

At this point, it seems that most every citizen will be adversely affected in one way or another by what is coming, and this looks to be the desired strategy of the criminal state.

DEPOPULATION

…The elimination of large numbers of people, has been a stated agenda of the claimed 'elites' for over a century. The idea that billions could be killed or die at the hands of some sinister plot is foreign to the average man, even though genocide and democide have been evident as recent as the twentieth century, and now discussed openly by the creatures at the top of the power pyramid.

What better way of achieving such a goal as mass death than by blaming the carnage on a deadly virus, or some foreign power's use of biological weapons? But what if the stated virus does not even exist? What if the real bioweapon is the supposed cure for the same virus being blamed for a pandemic?

Current data shows that at least 2.8 billion doses worldwide of the 'Covid-19 vaccine' have been administered, with over 40 million per day continuing to be injected.

That number will continue to increase as time passes, and once the flu season begins, more will likely take what is mistakenly called a 'vaccine.'

Canada, the United Kingdom, Israel, Italy, the U.S., and Germany have all 'vaccinated' at least 50% to 60% or more of their populations. The poorest countries are the least injected, but that will probably change in the future, and given the poor health of many in those countries, how many will die due to this toxic shot?

Already, many across the globe are dying and having horrible adverse reactions to this poisonous injection, and death rates in many areas are much higher than claimed Covid deaths.

This is happening worldwide, and this is the healthiest time of year for most, so how bad will it get once fall and winter arrive?

“Toxic Legacy” — How Glyphosate Destroys Your Health

Story at-a-glance:

Glyphosate is a very efficient metal chelator. This, in turn, disrupts your gut microbes because it makes minerals unavailable to the microbes. Your gut microbes need those minerals, as their enzymes depend on them for proper functioning

There’s a strong correlation between the rise in celiac disease over time and the rise in glyphosate usage on wheat, which is the primary culprit in celiac disease

Glyphosate may worsen the adverse effects of vaccines, in part because it binds very efficiently to aluminum used as an adjuvant in certain vaccines. Live virus vaccines that do not contain aluminum adjuvant have also been found to be contaminated with glyphosate

Non-GMO crops such as oats, wheat, barley and legumes like chickpeas and lentils tend to be very high in glyphosate because these crops are sprayed with glyphosate right before harvest as a desiccant to speed the drying process

Glyphosate also disrupts the shikimate pathway, both in plants and microbes, and beneficial microbes are particularly sensitive to glyphosate

Stephanie Seneff, Ph.D., a senior research scientist at MIT, has published a new book, Toxic Legacy: How the Weedkiller Glyphosate Is Destroying Our Health and the Environment — without doubt the best book ever written about glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup and many other toxic herbicides.

In this book, which has been a labor of love for the past decade, Seneff explains how and why glyphosate poses an existential threat to humanity, and why it’s so important to avoid it if you care about your health and the health of your family.

“It’s been a decade of learning everything I could about glyphosate,” Seneff says. “When I first heard about it I basically dropped everything else I was doing because I was so confident that I had found the answer to the autism epidemic. That was the thing I was looking for. Back in 2012, I heard a two-hour lecture by Don Huber, and it changed my focus entirely.

I already understood the symptoms of autism, a very complex disease — lots of gut problems and mineral issues — and it all came together with his lecture. Overnight I just started poring over all the papers I could find.

Shortly after that I found Séralini’s paper,1 which had not yet been retracted at that time. It was later republished, the paper by Séralini, a French toxicologist who had shown that very low doses of glyphosate over the lifespan of a rat could cause a lot of damage.

What’s Behind ‘Mislaid’ Defence Documents Showing Crimea Incident Was Planned?

The official chain of events around the leak of classified and embarrassing Ministry of Defence documents raises more questions than it answers. The bundle of papers was reportedly discovered a day before the incident between HMS Defender and the Russian Navy, with a BBC journalist aboard, but official sources are vague about who 'mislaid' them.

Mystery surrounds the discovery of secret UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) documents that indicate a Royal Navy warship was deliberately routed through restricted Russian waters.

An unnamed individual found a rain-soaked bundle of 50 pages behind a bus stop in Kent on Tuesday and and contacted UK state broadcaster the BBC — which only reported the find on Sunday.

Crucially, the find was made a day before the destroyer HMS Defender sailed through a Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) around Cape Fiolent, just south of Russian Black Sea naval port of Sevastopol, on Wednesday — with a BBC reporter on board.

The broadcaster made no mention of the documents in its breathless report from the ship, which was in stark contrast to the MoD's laid-back dismissal of warning shots fired by Russian patrol boats and jet bombers as distant military exercises.

One document in the bundle shows two alternative routes for the warship from Odessa in Ukraine to Batumi in Georgia, its next port of call. One involves sailing almost due south before making a dog-leg to east-south-east to reach Batumi, giving the Crimean peninsula a wide berth.

The alternative, more direct route is shown on the map passing diagonally south-east through the clearly-marked Sevastopol TSS — although traffic through such zones is meant to stick to designated north-south or east-west lanes.

That would "provide an opportunity to engage with the Ukrainian government… in what the UK recognises as Ukrainian territorial waters" the document read — indicating that the voyage was planned as a challenge to Russian sovereignty over the Crimea, which voted overwhelmingly to reunite with its historical mother-country in 2014.

Possible Russian responses to the manoeuvre, ranging from "safe and professional" to "neither safe nor professional", were already anticipated. But the document argued the alternative route avoiding confrontation risked Russia claiming "the UK being scared/running away" and that the UK had tacitly dropped its insistence that Crimea was still Ukrainian territory.

Fire Sets 16 Boats Ablaze in Hong Kong, at Least 10 Sink

A fire engulfed 16 vessels in a Hong Kong typhoon shelter early Sunday, resulting in at least 10 boats sinking and one person sent to a hospital.

The fire broke out at about 2:30 a.m. at the Aberdeen South typhoon shelter in Hong Kong, and was extinguished more than six hours later.

Firefighters rescued 35 people from vessels during the fire, according to public broadcaster RTHK.

There were no reports of any injuries, although one person who felt unwell was sent to the hospital.

The fire services department used 11 fire boat monitors, eight jets, and mobilized four breathing apparatus teams to fight the blaze, according to a statement.

It wasn’t immediately clear what caused the fire.

San Francisco forcing 35,000 city employees to get COVID-19 vaccines

San Francisco is telling its 35,000 city employees that they must get vaccinated against COVID-19 or they will lose their jobs. Not surprisingly, many workers and unions are speaking out against this unconscionable infringement on health freedom.

Officials announced earlier this week that municipal workers will be required to get the vaccine within 10 weeks after it is fully approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Although exceptions will reportedly be granted for religious or medical reasons, it is not yet clear what the procedure for such exemptions will be or how they will be approved. However, we do know that the medical exemptions will only apply to employees who have medical conditions affecting their vaccine eligibility and must be verified by a medical provider. Those with a “sincerely held religious belief” that stops them from getting a vaccine would have their requests reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Speaking to the San Francisco Chronicle, the city’s human resources policy chief, Mawuli Tugbenyoh, said that employees who don’t get the jab face “repercussions [that] go all the way up to termination.” He added that they are currently focusing on “education” and “outreach” – which presumably involves falsely painting the vaccines in a positive light and shaming people into thinking they will hurt society by not complying – although it’s likely that those employees who don’t want the vaccine have already done their own unbiased research on the matter and understand the true risks quite well.

Starting June 28, city employees will be given 30 days to inform the city of their vaccination status. When the vaccines are granted FDA approval, they will be required to submit their status through the city’s payroll system with evidence such as photos of vaccination cards. None of the vaccines being used in the U.S. for COVID-19 right now have gained full FDA approval yet; all are being administered under emergency authorization, which makes requiring them questionable from a legal standpoint.

So far, roughly 81 percent of people in San Francisco over age 12 have been given at least one dose of the vaccine. The city estimates that 50 to 60 percent of its workforce has already been vaccinated.

City workers express concerns about mandate

The move makes San Francisco the first major American city to require all its employees to be vaccinated. Of course, many people who work for the city are outraged by the mandate. Even those who are willing to get the vaccine themselves take issue with the ethics of such a mandate and worry about where it could lead.

PRAY FORT EACH OTHER

Opera Australia and tenor sued over child sex offences

The nation’s principal opera company and a convicted child sex offender are being sued for the sexual abuse of a former member of the children’s choir, the Supreme Court has heard.

Now in her early 40s, the woman was aged 14 and 15 when she was a member of the children’s chorus for Opera Australia in the mid-1990s.

Opera tenor David Lewis, then 34, befriended the teenager who confided in him about her traumatic childhood. He then proceeded to groom the girl and to sexually abuse her.

The singer was released from jail in December last year after serving a two-year sentence for two counts of sexual intercourse with a person aged between 10 and 16 and three charges of aggravated indecent assault.

At his sentencing in 2018, the judge said Lewis had only stopped offending because he had been caught.

The first time Lewis touched the teenager, he put his hand inside her underwear as they were standing behind the stage while a performance was going on, the court heard.

On one occasion the production’s dance captain saw Lewis receiving oral sex from the teenager in a stairwell at the Sydney Opera House. He said Lewis “immediately took off” in such a hurry he left his shoes behind.

According to court documents, the crew member informed the chorus master. Soon after Opera Australia hired a childminder who was told by the company: “The most important thing is that you keep the children away from the adults and the adults away from the children.”

The opera company now finds itself being sued for breaching its duty of care to the young singer.

Employees at Opera Australia have previously complained to the Herald that concerns about Lewis’s behaviour had fallen on deaf ears. “Opera Australia is like the Catholic Church in miniature,” said one.

However, Opera Australia has maintained that when police requested Lewis’s personnel records, his files “did not contain any information relating to any complaints against Mr Lewis during his time with the company”.

For 25 years, up until his arrest in 2017, Lewis had been a permanent member of the opera’s chorus.

Last week Justice Christine Adamson ordered Lewis to disclose all of his assets. The court heard he had $10,000 in his bank account, a superannuation fund worth about $75,000, a car valued at $12,000, a $5000 camera and a $2500 wine collection.

But he failed to inform the court about the $500,000 he had received as his share of his matrimonial home which was sold in November 2018 while he was in jail.

Lewis was “plainly in a position” to know what he did with the $500,000, said Justice Adamson but “he has chosen not to disclose this matter.”

Lewis was given two weeks to disclose all of his assets worldwide and to account for his share of the proceeds from the sale of his Lewisham home.

The matter will return to court on July 15.

In just 5,000 posts the secretive QAnon’s ‘storm’ nearly brought down a US president, while it’s gone dark for now, what’s next?

A gripping new book follows QAnon from wrongly predicting Hillary Clinton's arrest to a key role in the Capitol riot that left five dead, using a hotchpotch of conspiracy theories and a persuasive ‘future proves past’ narrative.

It was after my youngest daughter, a TikTok devotee, kept asking if I’d seen the video of al the young children being rescued from slavery thanks to Donald Trump that I realised the social media storm created by QAnon had landed on our doorstep.

The videos she had come across were ‘witness’ testimonials centred on just one of QAnon’s cultish beliefs which maintained the wealthy world elites were trafficking in children to be used as sex slaves and harvested for their adrenochrome, which endowed god-like powers upon those who drank it.

It was clearly time to check the parental controls I thought I’d put in place.

That storm, however, seems to have blown itself out for the time being, according to American journalist Mike Rothschild in newly-published ‘The Storm Is Upon Us: How QAnon Became a Movement, Cult, and Conspiracy Theory of Everything’. After two years of pushing propaganda, conspiracies, half-truths and wild claims while trumpeting their hero Donald Trump, QAnon has gone dark, posting nothing since December 8 last year.

Nothing further from the anonymous ‘Q’ – held by believers to be a team of “less than ten” high ranking military intel operatives at the president’s elbow – on the wealthy Satan-worshipping, paedophile cabal that secretly ran the world and numbered among its ranks Hillary Clinton, Barack ‘Hussein’ Obama, George Soros and Bill Gates. Nothing further on Trump, who allegedly had his re-election stolen from him but was poised to return to the Oval Office once hordes of his deep state enemies had been arrested or executed. Not. A. Dicky bird.

Which, as Rothschild points out, is odd. Because military intelligence is a 24/7 pursuit and if you are to break up an international paedophile ring, you can’t just stop mid-game, drop the ball and go home. He flatly rejects the insider intelligence boast, saying, “Not one thing Q has ever posted requires any kind of special access, only an active imagination and a following willing to forgive their lapses. And at that, Q believers excelled.”
