tulipsandroses's JournalSome of the violent crimes committed by Qanon
This is an excerpt from an artcle in October - which talked about congressmen that voted no to condemn Qanon
Because QAnon is so over the top, it is easy to dismiss it as a fringe confined to the darkest places on the internet. But that is far from true. There have been multiple violent incidents inspired by QAnon, and at least one murder. Moreover, QAnon has been hijacking the serious issue of child trafficking. In August, QAnon supporters held rallies in more than 200 cities across the country under the banners of “Save the Children” and “Freedom for Children” — language that makes the conspiracy theory seem more palatable for newcomers.

April 2020: A man is charged with intentionally derailing a freight train near the navy hospital ship Mercy in Los Angeles.
Eduardo Moreno, a train engineer from San Pedro, California, “admitted during an interview that he had run the train beyond the track because he believed the Mercy was part of suspicious activities involving the coronavirus”, according to prosecutors, the Los Angeles Times reported.
3 July 2020: Corey Hurren, a reservist in the Canadian Rangers, allegedly rams a truck through the gates of the prime minister’s residence in Ottawa.
March 2019: In Staten Island, a 24-year-old man allegedly murders a leader in the Gambino crime family.
Weeks before the alleged killing, Comello was in New York City, attempting to make a citizen’s arrest of the city’s mayor, as well as the Democratic congresspeople Maxine Waters and Adam Schiff, the Staten Island Advance reported.
June 2018: An Arizona resident blocks a bridge near the Hoover Dam with an armored vehicle. He later pleads guilty to a terrorism charge.

Can Dominion take down OAN? Could their lawsuit put them out of business?
I was just thinking about the Hulk Hogan lawsuit - backed by trump supporter Peter Thiel, put Gawker out of business. For anyone that doesn't know, Gawker was one of the top gossip sites a few years ago. I bit like TMZ I suppose. It was shocking when that lawsuit pretty much buried them. Granted, I don't know what their financial status was or how wealthy OAN's owners are.
Anyone know anything about OAN's owners? I know Faux news could withstand losing and having to pay a huge sum.
Freshman Rep stops trump last minute ILLEGAL deportation of man to place he is not a citizen
In one of its last acts, Trump administration tried to deport man to Haiti who has never been there
For the second time in his stateless life, Paul Pierrilus faced the possibility this week of being deported to a country he has never known, never lived in and that has never recognized him.
The 40-year-old New York man was minutes away from boarding one of the last deportation flights of the Trump administration before a relentless international effort by his family, attorney and a fortuitous connection to a freshman U.S. congressman helped him evade removal.
SNIP
Pierrilus found himself in such a situation. The financial consultant was born in the French territory of St. Martin to Haitian parents and immigrated to the United States as a child. But neither Haiti nor the French government automatically confer citizenship to children born outside its borders.
So Pierrilus was stuck in limbo, a citizen of nowhere and with no country willing to give him legal status. Precise data is elusive, but the Center for Migration Studies of New York estimates about 218,000 people in the United States are stateless or at risk of being so.
Katrina Bleckley, staff attorney with the Haitian Bridge Alliance, said a drug offense put Pierrilus on the radar of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. ICE tried to deport Pierrilus’s brother, Daniel Pierrilus, who is in an identical immigration situation. But when the brother arrived in Port-au-Prince in 2006, Haitian officials sent him back, family said.

Franklin Graham, has compared Republicans who voted for Trump's impeachment to Judas
Franklin Graham, slams Republicans for taking '30 pieces of silver' from Nancy Pelosi in Trump impeachment 'betrayal'
The controversial evangelist, Franklin Graham, has compared Republicans who voted for Trump's impeachment to Judas.
In a Facebook post, Graham compared the 10 Republicans who voted for Trump's impeachment to Judas Iscariot, the notorious apostle who betrayed Jesus after being paid 30 pieces of silver.
He began: "Shame, shame on the ten Republicans who joined with Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats in impeaching President Trump yesterday. After all that he has done for our country, you would turn your back and betray him so quickly?
"And these ten, from his own party, joined in the feeding frenzy. It makes you wonder what the thirty pieces of silver were that Speaker Pelosi promised for this betrayal," he continued later in the post.

Not the first time Giuliani incited an angry mob to storm a govt building
Rev Al showed this clip on his show yesterday. People keep asking what happened to Rudy, he's the same POS he's always been.

When former New York Mayor David Dinkins supported an independent civilian complaint review board in September 1992, police protested violently and engaged in actions, according to a police department report, that were "unruly, mean-spirited and perhaps criminal."38 An officers' protest, sponsored by the police union, involved thousands of officers demonstrating at City Hall, blocking traffic to the Brooklyn Bridge, and shouting racial epithets; current Mayor Rudolph Giuliani participated in the protest.
Some officers involved in the protest's offensive acts were disciplined, and the police commissioner stated that the nature of the demonstration "raised serious questions about the department's willingness and ability to police itself."40 If further evidence of violent propensities were needed, an incident right after the City Hall protest provided it. As police were leaving the protest, several off-duty officers, all in civilian clothes, assaulted a man on the subway who had stepped on one of the officer's feet. The man claimed that when he attempted to apologize, the offended officer tried to punch him, and that in self-defense he then pulled out a razor and cut the officer's face. Six officers then reportedly beat and kicked him, and he suffered a broken jaw; several witnesses went directly to the police station to complain. In this case, the department did provide some accountability. Two of the officers were charged with felony assault, leading to one conviction on a misdemeanor charge that led to the officer's dismissal.
