DeAnna Lorraine Thinks Miami Condo Collapse Was 'Deep State Operation'

A QAnon conspiracy theorist who previously ran for congress has made baseless claims that the condo tower which recently collapsed in Miami, Florida, was actually purposely demolished to target associates of recently deceased antivirus software entrepreneur John McAfee.

DeAnna Lorraine, who unsuccessfully tried to unseat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi from her California District 12 seat in 2020, made a number of falsehoods and wild conspiracies while appearing on the right-wing Stew Peters Show on June 25.

Among some of the claims was that the collapse of the 12-story Champlain Towers South on June 24, which has left at least 12 people dead and 149 people still accounted for, was done on purpose, linking it to the conspiracy that New York's World Trade Center was blown up rather than collapsing following a targeted terrorist attack.

DeAnna Lorraine, who unsuccessfully tried to unseat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi from her California District 12 seat in 2020, made a number of falsehoods and wild conspiracies while appearing on the right-wing Stew Peters Show on June 25.

Among some of the claims was that the collapse of the 12-story Champlain Towers South on June 24, which has left at least 12 people dead and 149 people still accounted for, was done on purpose, linking it to the conspiracy that New York's World Trade Center was blown up rather than collapsing following a targeted terrorist attack.

Lorraine also said, without evidence, that McAfee may have been targeted by the "satanic" deep state because of information he claimed to have had on file which would expose corruption in governments.

"Let's just go over the facts, I mean, buildings do not just fall like that," Lorraine said. "They just don't fall in one fell swoop either. The only time I've ever seen that was at 9/11. And we all know that building didn't just spontaneously fall either. This was a demolition."

Lorraine and Peters then speculated that McAfee, 75, who was found dead in a Barcelona jail from a suspected suicide on June 23, has links to the condo, repeating baseless claims from social media sites such as Gab that his son may live there.

Lorraine said: "Someone important was in that building that they didn't want there. We know how the deep state operates. It's not a conspiracy theory. It's true, because it's proven true over and over again, they're dirty, they're satanic, and they're disgusting."

Lorraine added: "I believe that this is a deep state operation. If John McAfee was an intelligent man, and he was, he would have had these terabytes of information in not just his own hands, but I'm sure he's put the copies of those terabytes of information in other places.

"And if he maybe put them and gave copies to his sons or his relatives, it would make sense that the deep state would want not only John McAfee dead, but anyone that they suspect has that information. It's pretty damn obvious."

Following McAfee's death, QAnon supporters and other conspiracy theorists suggested that he didn't actually kill himself, or that his death would result in a so-called dead man's switch—a term used when a device or computer software activates itself when its owner dies—getting initiated.

The conspiracy theorists pointed to past tweets of McAfee in which he stated he has no intention of taking his own life, and claims he possessed incriminating files to back up the suggestions.

There is no evidence to suggest any of McAfee's family or associates were in the Champlain Towers South at the time it collapsed.

As noted by Right Wing Watch, who posted the clip of Lorraine onto Twitter, the conspiracy theorist previously speculated that "huge buildings don't just 'fall down' randomly" in a post on Gab.

"Every right-wing conspiracy theory starts the same way: I don't understand how this thing could have happened, so what really happened?," Right Wing Watch tweeted.

Donald Rumsfeld Selling Maryland Home Known as ‘Mount Misery’ for $2.45M

By Claudine Zap

Sep 30, 2019

Here’s a “known known”: Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld is letting go of his vacation home in St. Michaels, MD. The Eastern Shore residence, which Rumsfeld, 87, picked up in 2003 for $1.5 million, is on the market for $2.45 million.

The sleepy town, about 2.5 hours from Washington, DC, offers a respite from the hurly-burly of political life, for tourists and notable names alike.

But the historic home from 1805 comes with a sinister past—way, way before Rumsfeld ever came on the scene.

The property, known as “Mount Misery,” by 1833, was apparently the home of a farmer, Edward Covey, who also routinely took on the role of “slave breaker,” the New York Times reported as a side note to a travelogue on the town of St. Michaels.

According to the Times article, Covey got his hands on the “rebellious” Frederick Douglass, who grew up in the area and went on to become a great abolitionist leader and statesman.

Douglass described the violent but formative experience in his book, “My Bondage and My Freedom,” writing, “I shall never be able to narrate the mental experience through which it was my lot to pass during my stay at Covey’s. I was completely wrecked, changed, and bewildered; goaded almost to madness at one time, and at another reconciling myself to my wretched condition.”

When Covey tried to “break” him, Douglass reportedly fought back, and escaped.

A 2006 article in the Baltimore Sun suggested that Mount Misery’s history be reclaimed by turning the place into a museum or a monument to a horrific chapter in U.S. history.

For some, the home’s moniker of “Mount Misery” may hit a little too close to home. Rumsfeld’s tenure in the Cabinet of George W. Bush was controversial for its embrace of torture as a means of extracting information from suspected terrorists, A play titled “Mount Misery,” exploring the story of the historic property and commenting on the lives of both Douglass and Rumsfeld, was staged in a theater in San Francisco in 2015.

The Georgian brick abode, located on 4 private acres, was built on land granted by Lord Baltimore in 1667.

Original elements of the four-bedroom, 4.5-bath abode include doors, floors, mantels, and five fireplaces. Measuring 4,052 square feet, the structure was restored in 1954, and then expanded and upgraded by Rumsfeld in 2003. It has an updated kitchen, dining room, multiple living spaces, a gym, and an office.

The grounds include flowering shrubs, patios, gardens, plus a pool, sauna, and tennis court. The property also has a 135-foot pier, two power boat hoists, and 700 feet of creek shoreline.

Mount Misery must love company. In June, former Vice President Dick Cheney, a longtime friend of the former secretary of defense, sold his neighboring vacation retreat in St. Michaels at a loss, at $2.1 million, after placing it on the market in April for a little over $2.49 million.

In 2005, he and his wife, Lynne Cheney, paid $2,667,500 for the estate, located just a couple of miles from Rumsfeld’s residence.

Rumsfeld served as secretary of defense from 1975 to 1977 under President Gerald Ford, and under Bush from 2001. His tenure ended when he resigned from the post in 2006. After he retired, he wrote his autobiography, “Known and Unknown: A Memoir.”
