FBI director nominee Kash Patel has repeatedly promoted & praised QAnon. He's defended the QAnon slogan, signed copies of his book with the QAnon slogan, lauded the "acumen" of some QAnon supporters, promoted a "Q" Truth Social account, & said of QAnon, "There's a lot of good to a lot of it."
![MARY GRACE (HOST): One of the things that I have loved about following the Q community is that people are accessing open source information. They're not creating conspiracies out of thin air. They're actually uncovering conspiracies that are available through open-source research. For example, a lot of the information that you put on your website ... are documents that many of the Q community have researched and have broken down for the layperson to be able to understand. And they've also made connections between one sort of incident and another. So they've taken some of the Russiagate things and then they tied them into other things that have happened. They're just good researchers, from what I've seen. Is that -- is that your take, maybe, on what you've seen?
KASH PATEL: I've seen on social media, on Trump -- on Truth Social, how good these researchers are and I kind of wish I had some of them when I was doing Russiagate and some of these other things. You know, Devin and I talk regularly and then, you know, I talk with the president all the time as well. And we're just blown away at the amount of acumen some of these people have and how quick they are to -- to grab it and suss through it and sort of thin it down and make it presentable, you know. And it's actually heartening to me to hear that people are going to [Patel's website] and getting the documents from the [INAUDIBLE]. That's the whole point. It's free.
Don't listen to my commentary. Go get the government documents that expose their own corruption, that show their own unethical behavior. From January 6, from Durham, from Russiagate, from Ukraine, impeachment one, whatever. We're going to keep getting those documents and keep putting them out. And that's part of the mission at [Patel's website]. It's the education component of our charity, we're a 501(c)(3), is to get this out there.
...
And if it's Q or whatever movement that's getting that information out, I am all for it, every day of the week.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:af7tqcetuyt352aolf3znlxe/bafkreid6du4rcccocms4ue5kjwoh2s77dckqpng6r7wjygcugzvelssd74@jpeg)

Heads up: conspiracy theorist Rebekah Jones is disingenuously adding liberals and leftists (including myself) to a tinfoil blocklist with the title "MAGA cult". I have reported the list as harassment and recommend everyone capable of rational thought do likewise. (Link to list in next post.)

Jim, et al, have spent four years harassing and making up conspiracy theories about journalists and researchers who disagree with their crackpot schemes. He's accused me of everything in this post, along with being complicit in a murder, secretly helping start QAnon, and other insane stuff.
Jim has attacked everyone from @rothschildmd.bsky.social to the SPLC and hundreds of others claiming everything from that they are working for Mike Flynn, Russia, shadowy Nazis that only exist in Jim’s head to claiming they are actually Russian agents etc Jim is dangerous.

If I were a FSSW using Bluesky, for safety reasons I would:
- only use the bsky.app web app from a browser (never mobile)
- always use Mullvad VPN (ProtonVPN is probably ok)

Twitter is threatening legal action against Meta over Threads
in November, Elon Musk mocked laid off Twitter employees, saying “their immense talent will no doubt be of great use elsewhere”
well, apparently some went to Meta to build Threads & Musk now has a problem with that

I said this a year ago elsewhere, but I’ll say it again here: It's impossible to overstate how much the big tech CEOs & VCs are being radicalized within their bubble. The level of paranoia & contrived victimization is off the charts, and they increasingly only consume media that they have funded.
