So according to the MAGA crowd the new Utah state flag promotes a pedophile conspiracy. Their explanation is completely nuts... and laughable. Right-wing activists plot to undo Utah's new flag after explosion of outrageous conspiracy theories https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...of-outrageous-conspiracy-theories/ar-AA1aCwJS After intense debate, Utah passed approval of a new state flag, replacing the old one consisting of the state seal on a field of blue with a unique, iconic design featuring a beehive and five-pointed star on a hexagon, set against stylized mountains in red, white, and blue. However, reported The Salt Lake Tribune on Monday, before the flag has even officially been raised over government buildings, some right-wing activists are plotting a ballot referendum to overturn it — and the story of the opposition is more bizarre than one might expect. "Plans are underway for a statewide ballot initiative to put a repeal of the flag change on the 2024 ballot. Organizers say they are set to file paperwork with the lieutenant governor’s office on Tuesday," reported Bryan Schott. "Instead of 40 days, organizers will have until February 15, 2024, to submit the required 134,298 signatures to qualify for the ballot. That total represents 8% of the current number of active voters in Utah. Organizers must also meet the 8% threshold in 26 of Utah’s 29 state senatorial districts. For comparison, last month’s unsuccessful referendum effort only had to hit the 8% requirement in 15 districts, but failed to meet that threshold in any district." The effort is being led by former state Rep. Fred Cox, who is arguing that the new flag is an attempt to erase history — even though Gov. Spencer Cox issued an executive order that will keep the original flag along with the new one. According to a Deseret News report last month, however, it goes deeper than that — some activists pushed strange conspiracy theories while protesting to lawmakers that the flag was "woke" or "Marxist," and some even invoked the QAnon child-trafficking conspiracy theory. "'I cannot understand why someone didn’t research the eight-point star,' one woman said during a hearing on the new flag in the Senate Business and Labor Committee meeting. She apparently was referring to an earlier version. The new flag’s star has five points. 'It’s on the … floor in the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., and it represents the underground tunnels for child sex trafficking,' she said, spouting a false QAnon claim," reported Jay Evensen. "One man who called himself the 'persona Lady Maga USA,' said of the new flag, 'Woke, politically correct mobs are erasing history across American states.' He equated it to tearing down statues. 'In 1933, the Nazis replaced the German flag. Communists past and present assert their dominance with their flags,' he said." A recent poll by Deseret News and the Hinckley Institute of Politics indicates that only 35 percent of voters in the state actually oppose the new flag; 48 percent support it, while 17 percent are undecided.

The Leader of the JFK-QAnon Cult Is Dead. His Followers Think It’s All Part of the Plan. Members of Michael Protzman’s conspiracy cult abandoned their families and spent their life savings to follow him to Trump rallies around the country. https://www.vice.com/en/article/88x8b4/michael-protzman-negative48-jfk-qanon-dead The leader of a QAnon cult who convinced thousands of people that former president John F. Kennedy and his son JFK, Jr. are still alive has died, VICE News can exclusively report. Michael Protzman, 60, died last Friday in the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota a week after an accident at the Meadow Valley Motocross track in Millville, Minnesota. Protzman’s death was confirmed to VICE News in a phone call with the Minnesota Department of Health. Protzman died as a result of “multiple blunt force injuries” after he “lost control of his dirt bike” according to a report from the Southern Minnesota Regional Medical Examiner’s Office, which was obtained by VICE News. Protzman, who was known to his followers as Negative 48, was from Federal Way in Washington State and owned a demolition company prior to his emergence as a QAnon guru in early 2021. Protzman rose to notoriety in 2021, when the Telegram channel he ran garnered tens of thousands of followers. In that channel, Protzman mixed QAnon conspiracies with a bastardized version of Gematria, a Jewish numerology system, which he claimed to be able to use to predict the future. Protzman gained national attention in November 2021 when he convinced hundreds of his followers to travel from all across the U.S. to Dallas, where he claimed that JFK and JFK Jr. would reappear at Dealey Plaza, on the spot where JFK was assassinated in 1963. When that didn’t happen, Protzman’s conspiracies simply changed, and over the next 18 months he would alter and change his predictions to suit his needs and keep his followers on board. Ultimately he claimed that he was in direct contact with former President Donald Trump and that Trump was in fact JFK Jr. in disguise. After the Dallas gathering, Protzman spent 18 months crisscrossing the U.S., attending multiple Trump rallies. He was accompanied by a rotating band of followers, whom he ordered to cover his accommodation and food costs. Numerous followers abandoned their families and spent their life savings following Protzman. “She left her children for this and doesn't even care,” Katy Garner, whose sister fell under Protzman’s spell, told VICE News in 2021. “She is missing birthdays and holidays for this. She truly believes this is all real and we are the crazy ones for trying to get her to come home. But she won’t, I don’t believe she will ever come back from this. We are in mourning.” “Protzman impacted the lives of so many families in such a negative way, families were torn apart, many members lost their assets due to following him,” an open-source researcher going by the name ‘Karma,’ who has tracked this cult closely since its inception, told VICE News. “Some of these families will never be the same. I do hope those that followed him, reach out to their families and make amends.” After his accident two weeks ago, details about Protzman’s condition were tightly controlled by his inner circle of half a dozen followers. While they initially told followers in an online chat that Protzman had a “potential brain injury” and told them to pray for him, the inner circle has refused to answer any follow up questions about his condition. The inner circle shut down comments on his channels and in at least one case, kicked a follower out of their Truth Social group after they asked a question about Protzman’s condition this week. Shelly Mullinax, who was one of Protzman’s earliest followers but had a falling out with him and other members of the group last year, remains convinced of the conspiracies Protzman concocted about JFK. She believes his death is all part of the plan. “If that was the plan that God had for him, I know that everything is going to be revealed soon,” Mullinax told VICE News on Wednesday. Mullinax said that in recent days someone in her group had claimed Protzman “was taken out” but she dismissed that. She did however claim that the person who died was in fact just one version of Michael Protzman, “the evil version” and that the good Michael Protzman—who is in fact JFK Jr. in a mask—is still alive and well. VICE News spoke to several family members of Protzman’s followers and all said that their loved ones have dismissed the news of Protzman’s death as fake. In another Telegram channel populated with Protzman’s followers, one admin wrote that they would be removing all posts regarding his death “until we have absolute verification.” In one case however, one of Protzmans’ followers has put her name forward as a potential replacement leader of the group. “They killed Michael Protzman’s character so I take over Negative48 crew, follow me,” the follower wrote on Facebook. “Protzman’s death won’t change anything right away, I believe new conspiracies surrounding his death will evolve,” Karma said. “But I do think his followers will dwindle and move on to other influencers over time.”
At far-right roadshow, Trump is God's 'anointed one,' QAnon is king, and 'everything you believe is right' https://news.yahoo.com/far-roadshow-trump-gods-anointed-100058315.html
The last two Qanon posts were from Yahoo and Vice I believe the Qanon movement lives only in liberal media....It finds one tweet and creates a whole article on some kind of movement In the media that Maga or Trump people consume ,I dont see any Qanon information The left is much more wrapped up in Qanon then the right
Speaking of America's favorite assclown: Give ya the TLDR cut to the chase ... The former president falsely claimed during a break in his civil fraud trial in New York on Wednesday that it was keeping him from being on the 2024 campaign trail. “I have to be here instead of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, lots of other great places,” Trump whined to reporters. “They want me to be here.” Trump, however, does not have to be at his trial. And he gave the game away less than 240 seconds later when asked if he’d return to the courthouse on Thursday. “Probably not,” he replied. “I have a very big professional golf tournament at Doral, so probably not.” Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ‘Morning Joe’ Spots Astonishing Moment Trump Gave The Game Away On Courthouse Lie https://news.yahoo.com/morning-joe-spots-astonishing-moment-134715547.html
