Eric D'Allesandro: Karen - Mask Off Remix

This is from June 2020... I work for a event agency and one my tasks involved this comedian Eric D'Allesandro, so I looked him up on youtube and discovered that he's very hilarious. Here's his take on anti-mask "Karens" at Wal-Mart.

Vice: One of QAnon's Most Antisemitic Influencers Is Actually a 39-Year-Old Baptist From Florida

One of QAnon’s most prolific, popular, and antisemitic influencers has been revealed to be a deeply religious 39-year-old Trump supporter in Florida.

Researchers at Logically on Friday published an investigation into the identity of GhostEzra, an antisemitic QAnon figure, identifying him as Robert Randall Smart of Boca Raton.

In October 2020, Smart attended Donald Trump Jr.’s Fighters Against Socialism tour “with his Colombian wife and their small son,” and was quoted in the South Florida Sun Sentinel about the dangers of socialism: “It starts small. A little bit here and a little bit there, and it turns into a Venezuela.”

Smart also appears to be deeply religious. His online accounts show him checking into several evangelical Baptist churches in his area, and his family’s social media accounts are filled with religious images and memes.

But the online persona of GhostEzra, which Smart has crafted since it first emerged in December 2020, is deeply disturbing.

The account has made claims about Jewish control of Big Pharma, the media, and central banking. The account has also claimed that Jews are responsible for both world wars and that the people who “identify as Jewish but are not actually even Jews” have a goal of “total world domination and control.” He has linked his followers multiple times to neo-Nazi propaganda, including a 12-hour film that, among other claims, asserts that Jews created communism with a goal of “total world domination.”


Smart was unmasked by the investigators after he posted several of his own photos through his GhostEzra account. One of the photos showed the Florida Emergency Alerts Systems displayed on a television set.

While the image posted to Telegram showed only the portion of the picture with the screen, by altering the exposure on the image, Logically’s researchers were able to reveal the rest of the image—which included pictures of Smart’s family lined up above the TV.

What has the GOP done since inauguration that warrants one to cast votes for them?

Is it the voter suppression?

The fear-mongering over the Southern Border?

Their do-nothing approach to fighting COVID?

Their feigned concern for the women and children of Afghanistan?



I wondered the same back in 2016 and couldn't come up with anything then either.

Successful withdraws in war history that should have been used as a template in Afghanistan

I cannot think of any outside of Europe and Korea but I'm sure others can cite instances. Please list them below.

Also, is this why we're still in Iraq? Because if we leave, shit will hit the fan?

The Taliban has announced their political agenda for Afghanistan and it includes:

- Abortion is banned
- Gay marriage outlawed
- Rejection of science
- No vaccines (against their religion)
- No separation of church & state
- Religion taught in schools.

Sound familiar?
