I heard suicide prevention hot lines were blowing up this morning after hearing Trump wasn't being arrested in DC.

Anyone have information on this issue.

Trump fully embraces QAnon on Truth Social — hours after obsessed supporter allegedly killed wife

In his one-term presidency, Donald Trump pushed out a number of notorious conspiracy theories tied to voter fraud, climate change and vaccines, but it wasn't until recently that Trump expressed his explicit support for QAnon – which promotes the idea that Trump is the savior of the American people.

Despite the dangers of endorsing a movement the FBI has labeled a domestic terror threat, Trump posted a picture of himself wearing a Q lapel pin, with the QAnon catchphrases "The Storm is Coming" and "WWG1WGA," on his Truth Social account earlier this week. He shared the post after an account called "Patriots in Control" originally published the photo on the platform.

His latest embrace of QAnon comes as no surprise since Trump spent much of his presidency praising followers who were a part of the movement and even endorsed a Republican candidate for congress who is a prominent QAnon supporter. He has previously defended the movement saying it consists of people who "basically believe in good government."

But what makes his recent endorsement especially disturbing is that it came hours after a man obsessed with the QAnon conspiracy theory allegedly killed his wife and seriously injured one of his children.

After Trump lost in the presidential election in 2020, Igor Lanis became obsessed with QAnon and the false idea that Joe Biden stole the election. His daughter, Rebecca Lanis, blamed her father's worsening mental health on extremism and conspiracy theories he encountered online, according to the Daily Beast.

Lanis represents just one example among thousands of other QAnon supporters who believe that Trump is fighting against a cabal of Democrats and other elites that are operating a global child sex trafficking ring. The narrative originated in 2017 after a YouTuber and two moderators from the 4chan website banded together, giving credibility to posts by a user called "Q", who claimed to be a high-ranking military officer. Eventually, the theory they espoused became known as Qanon.

In the years since, the movement has grown and become tied to a number of violent incidents, including the killing of two infants by their father, who told investigators that his belief in QAnon made him do it, a man ramming his pickup truck filled with guns through the gates of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's home and the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol.

And as social media platforms like Twitter have banned accounts linked to QAnon, the movement's supporters have shifted to Truth Social, which brands itself as a free-speech haven. Users have continued to post content that espouses violence and Trump has promoted these messages.

In the past, Trump has "re-Truthed" a post calling for "civil war" and pushing claims that the 2020 presidential election was a "coup," according to a report by NewsGuard. More recently, he has posted and reshared posts that included conspiracy theories about the Department of Justice, former President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, and also boosted QAnon accounts that attacked President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.



Trump's recent posting of his photo with the phrase "The Storm is Coming" days after the death of Queen Elizabeth II has led some QAnon supporters to believe that a "storm" really is coming. "The storm" refers to the day when Trump would ostensibly expose the pedophilic cabal of the deep state and the elites and also issue mass arrests of his political rivals. And as part of their role in this "Great Awakening", QAnon believers would educate the public about the movement ahead of these arrests. Ultimately, the "storm" would trigger their "savior" Trump's return to power.

The "storm" was originally supposed to strike when QAnon supporters marched on the Capitol on Jan. 6, but instead, the siege led to mass arrests and several QAnon believers losing faith after President Joe Biden was inaugurated. However, Trump's recent support of QAnon is enabling a QAnon renaissance, which poses the same dangers as the spread of disinformation on social media prior to the insurrection.

The GOP is now run by 'your crazy uncle' — and is spreading 'mass psychosis': conservative

On Wednesday's edition of MSNBC's "The ReidOut," conservative analyst Charlie Sykes warned that former President Donald Trump's brand of conspiracy theories and attacks on democracy have metastasized into the entire Republican Party, from the bottom up.

Sykes, a longtime Trump critic who has repeatedly called out the modern GOP's double standards, said that there is no longer much safe harbor for any Republicans who want to govern reasonably, or engage constructively with their right-wing constituents.

"We've both been in talk radio and there were some real gems, so we know they're out there," said anchor Joy Reid. "Could you have ever imagined that the people who used to call in on the radio are now the mainstream — not just the base of the party, they're the candidates. Your thoughts?"

"What a strange and wild ride," said Sykes. "It is like your crazy uncle that you kept in the basement has now suddenly appeared and is running the show ... it's almost as if we've gone post-Trump here, where the craziness has morphed into this mass psychosis where it's not just a few scattered anecdotes anymore, it is state after state where you are seeing, you know, some of the most extreme election deniers, not people running on some conservative or right-wing agenda, but people who have embraced the most bizarre conspiracies."

Among the factors inflaming things further, Sykes noted, are Trump increasingly endorsing the QAnon movement directly and calling into a D.C. jail rally for the high-level January 6 offenders. Meanwhile, he argued, Republican primary voters are consistently choosing "complete kooks" over "reasonably rational Republicans" — something that most recently happened this week in New Hampshire, where voters chose an election denier to run for Senate over Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's preferred candidate.

"If this is really an existential threat, we ought to act like it. But it is bizarre," said Sykes. "I've been pessimistic for some time. I've been amazed over and over again how the craziest voices have become dominant, and unfortunately it's getting worse."

Former President Donald Trump on Saturday spoke at a rally for Ohio Senate candidate JD Vance while a QAnon song played dramatically in the background, and his supporters raised their fingers in an unusual salute.

In recent weeks, Trump has amplified QAnon talking points on his social media, but Saturday night's spectacle in Youngstown, Ohio, was perhaps the clearest sign yet that he's now openly embracing the baseless conspiracy theory.

Oh my goodness -- Trump's hypnotic rant about how the US is declining is now set to dramatic music. Weird and very cult-like.

this is one of the most bizarre things I've seen at a Trump rally. All it is missing is passing around Kool-Aid right after.

As Trump complained about Russia's invasion of Ukraine, "Fake News," and Hunter Biden's laptop at the Ohio rally, a cinematic soundtrack played throughout.

According to Media Matters, the US-based media watchdog, the soundtrack appears to be a song previously released online with the title "Wwg1wga" — the QAnon slogan.

QAnon figures noticed the song choice, perceiving it as a nod to the movement by the former president. "QAnon figures are claiming the use of the song brings some kind of legitimacy for them," said Alex Kaplan, a senior researcher for Media Matters, in a tweet on Saturday.

Last month, Trump posted a video on his social media platform Truth Social using the same audio, per Media Matters. At the time, the former president's spokesperson claimed to Vice that it was not a QAnon song but music by the composer Will Van de Crommert.

However, a Media Matters review using Google's voice assistant and Apple's Shazam app identified it as "Wwg1wga," which stands for "where we go one, we go all," by an artist called Richard Feelgood. QAnon followers celebrated the use of the audio at the time, per Media Matters, with one describing it as "THE mother of all Q proofs" and "the biggest nod they've ever given us."

An unusual finger salute, which saw attendees of the Youngstown rally raise their fingers to the sky, is also being described by experts on the conspiracy theory as a potential nod to QAnon.

"Some on Twitter are calling it a QAnon salute, with 1 finger for 'Where we go 1,' and Trump is playing a pro-Q song as he talks," said Will Sommer, author of an upcoming book on QAnon, in a tweet on Saturday.

Ben Collins, a senior reporter who covers extremism for NBC News, said in a tweet that there is confusion in Trump forums as to why his followers raised their fingers at the rally and whether it was a gesture to the QAnon community.

"Some people think it's for Where We Go 1 We Go All — the QAnon catchphrase," he wrote. "Others think it's to symbolize America First. Whatever it is, it's deeply weird and I haven't seen it before."

Not even Trump forums know why his followers held up one finger at his rally tonight. Some people think it's for Where We Go 1 We Go All — the QAnon catchphrase. Others think it's to symbolize America First. Whatever it is, it's deeply weird and I haven't seen it before.

Recently, per AP's reporting, Trump has moved from "winking" at QAnon to openly embracing it.

On Tuesday, he reposted an image on Truth Social of himself wearing a Q pin on his jacket with an overlay of the words "The Storm is Coming." In QAnon mythology, the "storm" refers to a day of violent retribution when Trump's enemies will face televised mass executions.

In late August, Trump reposted (and then deleted) a "Q drop" — a cryptic message said to be posted by the anonymous Q.

And according to AP, nearly a third of the 75 accounts Trump has reposted on his Truth Social profile in the past month have promoted QAnon.

Insider contacted Trump's post-presidency office for comment but did not immediately receive a response.

Uh oh. Guess now Trump has moved onto using music to send his loyal followers messages.
Shooter wonders when he'll get the decoder ring finally.

 

MAGA is calling into the prevention lines to protest those vets that have been convicted of a charge related to January 6th, which in turn causes them to lose their military benefits because the military doesn't take kindly to insurrectionists.

 

Lies. Lies that expose the desperation of despicables counting down the days to midterms.

 

Hey silky, did you see the stellar performance of your man biden at the queens funeral?
You think he'll make it to Christmas or will Kamala 25th his sorry ass?

Looks like one of Hitler's rallies.

 

Me too.
