A third of Biden supporters believe the idea that Saturday’s assassination attempt on former President Trump was staged and not intended to kill him is credible, according to a Morning Consult poll.
33 percent of polled Biden supporters indicated they were open to believing the troubling conspiracy theory, a higher number than the overall contingent polled. Only 20 percent of total people polled said they found the conspiracy credible.
The majority of voters, 62 percent, found the notion to be unsubstantiated, according to Morning Consult.
The concerning conspiracy theory has earned credibility from mainstream left wing voices like MSNBC’s Joy Reid.
“What is the actual injury to Donald Trump’s ear that’s under that bandage? Shouldn’t we know that by now? It’s weird,” Reid speculated in a Twitter video she posted to her 1.9 million Twitter followers.
“We still don’t know for sure whether Donald Trump was hit by a bullet, whether he was hit by glass fragments, whether he was hit by shrapnel, we don’t have those details,” Reid posited.
A former Navy submarine technician was arrested after law enforcement says he drove an SUV into the FBI headquarters near Atlanta on Monday afternoon. It is still unclear why the suspect, Ervin Lee Bolling, attempted to force entry into the headquarters, but research conducted by the nonpartisan public-interest nonprofit Advance Democracy and shared exclusively with WIRED has found that accounts believed to be associated with Bolling shared numerous conspiracy theories on social media platforms, including X and Facebook.
Just after noon on Monday, Bolling rammed his burnt-orange SUV with South Carolina license plates into the final barrier at FBI Atlanta’s headquarters, wrote Matthew Upshaw, an FBI agent assigned to the Atlanta office, in a sworn affidavit on Tuesday. Upshaw added that after Bolling crashed the SUV, he left the car and tried to follow an FBI employee into the secure parking lot. When agents instructed Bolling to sit on a curb, he refused and tried again to enter the premises. The affidavit also stated that Bolling resisted arrest when agents subsequently tried to detain him.
Bolling was charged on Tuesday with destruction of government property, according to court records reviewed by WIRED.
Advance Democracy researchers identified an account on X with the handle @alohatiger11, a reference to the Clemson University mascot which Bolling has expressed support for on his public Facebook page. The handle is similar to usernames on other platforms like Telegram and Cash App, and also bears similarities to a Facebook page with Bolling’s name. The profile picture used in the X account also resembles a picture of the same man shown in Bolling’s public Facebook profile. The X account is currently set to private, but dozens of its old posts are still publicly viewable through the Internet Archive.
In December 2020, the X account responded to a post about a federal government stimulus bill that stated, “Wonder what it will take for people to wake up.” The X account believed to be associated with Bolling responded, “I’m awake. Just looking for a good militia to join.”
Around the same time, social media accounts seemingly associated with Bolling repeatedly boosted QAnon content and interacted with QAnon promoters, including by posting a link to a now-deleted QAnon-associated YouTube channel alongside the comment: “Release the Kraken”—in direct reference to Sidney Powell’s failed legal efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.
On what’s believed to be Bolling’s Facebook account, there were various posts related to anti-vaccine memes as well.
The accounts also posted in support of former president Donald Trump. In December 2020, “I love you” was posted in response to a post on X from Trump that falsely claimed the election had been rigged by Democrats.
Courtney Bolling, who is identified as the suspect’s wife on Facebook, did not respond to requests for comment via phone or messages sent to her social media profiles. No legal counsel is listed on record for Bolling.
Something strange happened earlier this week when the QAnon Queen attempted to use a new tool for her followers to organize online.
Shortly after Romana Didulo, a Canadian QAnon cult leader with a large following, made a new group on Telegram called the “Volunteer Peace, Prosperity & Love Officers” in the hopes of organizing her followers by region, a rather violent subgroup popped up. It was to recruit “Military Tribunal officers” who would work as “judge, jury, and executioner” for the cult. Quickly her most dedicated followers stepped up, declaring they would step up to kill for her.
“I would like to get THE SHOW on the road as much as the next person,” one member wrote, referring to mass executions of the cult’s enemies that they have long promised, but never acted on. “But I am not sure that is something I would want to have on my conscience. That being said I also know this needs to be done.”
The group then began to brainstorm ways to execute their enemies while keeping their conscience clear—leaving them out in the Arctic to be eaten by polar bears was one that got a lot of love. Eventually, the sub-group was trolled into oblivion by an anti-Didulo group and shut down. But the thing is, the sub-group wasn’t even created by Didulo but by a group of kind-hearted trolls dedicated to taking her down and trying to save her followers from her exploitation.
The QAnon Queen of Canada has left her compound in rural Saskatchewan…. For now, at least.
Romana Didulo, a cult leader who has convinced hundreds of people across the world she’s the true queen of Canada (among other eccentric things), has been living in an abandoned school in the small Saskatchewan town of Richmound for over a month.
But a video sent to VICE News by a local shows Didulo’s team unloading belongings including surveillance gear from the school into several motorhomes and vehicles. One local told VICE that the school, which once almost always had cult members outside filming anyone who came close, is now a ghost town.
“A flag was taken down and the lights and cameras are off the school,” Shauna Sehn, a resident in the town, told VICE News.
Brad Miller, Richmound’s mayor, told VICE News that earlier in the day bylaw and building inspectors went to the school for an inspection but were denied.
“Shortly after that Romano’s RV left town as well as a few vehicles,” said Miller. “The remaining people are scurrying around packing.”
Miller added that believes Didulo and her followers are camped out at a farm not too far out of town. For now the town holds its breath hoping the cult is truly gone.
For weeks Didulo faced fierce resistance from the townsfolk, who held several large protests to get the cult out of the school, but it seemed their honking and shouting had little effect. At the time Miller told VICE News that he was working multiple angles to have the cult removed, several including working bylaws.
In the livestream that Didulo hosts—primarily a way for her to ask her followers for money—her spokesperson said the group was invited to a follower’s farm and promised they would be returning to the school shortly.
Hugh Everding, a bald hulking man of about 6’4”, stares out of the kitchen window of his bungalow as police vehicle after police vehicle rolls down the street headed towards a check stop manned by a half-dozen armed cops.
Every entry point into this no-stoplight town has such a check stop, ready to interrogate both locals and miscreants on what their damn business here is. There’s little doubt that at this moment, Richmound, Saskatchewan, population 130, is the most fortified town in all of Canada.
Seeing another cop car, Hugh takes a sip of his craft beer and turns to us and says that no matter the police presence, it’s just dead around these parts.
“You can hear a mouse get a hard on out here,” he said. “Calm before the storm, I guess.”
But you can always spot a storm brewing in the Prairies. In Hugh’s case, it was just across the street, where the so-called QAnon Queen of Canada and her followers had taken over an abandoned school.
And in less than 24 hours, the town was ready to go to war with the cult next door.
The Canadian town of Richmound, Saskatchewan, has been reeling ever since Romana Didulo — the self-proclaimed true Queen of Canada who leads a following of people who believe her claim — took up residence in an abandoned school, Vice News reported.
The cult, which has been linked to QAnon, has a contentious relationship with the townspeople after a failed effort to get the group out.
The cult sent threatening cease and desist letters to multiple town officials that warned “failure to Cease and Desist, IMMEDIATELY, from your Rothchild/CCP based communistic, unfair, demoralizing, and immoral activities and behaviors while “serving the (We the People)” and “before the (We the People)” under the present Natural Law WILL surely bring forth judgment upon yourselves and if found guilty of ‘Crimes Against Humanity’ or ‘Treason’ you WILL face publicly broadcast executions upon yourselves, and underserved devastation upon your children, grandchildren and families.”
“One specific thing that was said was that our kids, grandkids, and school would watch the executions,’ Richmound Mayor Brad Miller told Vice News. “This is offside. These threats should be taken seriously, there is no room for error here!”
From Vice News: “Didulo is a cult figure who grew out of the QAnon movement. What separates her from many of her similar conspiracy leaders is she was able to take her online following offline. Since early 2022 Didulo has been on the road traveling the country and meeting her followers in towns across Canada. She’s accompanied by a die-hard group of followers who follow her bidding and, according to former members of the cult who spoke to VICE News, are abused in a myriad of ways by Didulo.”
A New Mexico man who pleaded guilty to threatening to murder a congresswoman is also an avid purveyor of QAnon conspiracy propaganda, according to new reports.
“The plea agreement brought before U.S. Magistrate Judge Damian L. Martinez of U.S. District Court in New Mexico on Thursday has to do with a telephone call Michel David Fox admits making last May to the Houston office of a member of the U.S. House of Representatives,” reported Julian Resendiz for Fox 5 News.
Per the court documents, Fox said on the call, “Hey, you’re a man. It’s official. You’re literally a tranny and a pedophile and I’m going to put a bullet in your (expletive deleted) face. You (expletive). You understand me, you (expletive).”
According to the report, after law enforcement traced the call to a cell phone in Las Cruces, FBI agents visited Fox’s house, where he admitted to making the call.
Court documents further reveal that Fox said he doesn’t actually have any guns — but also professed to be a member of the “Q movement” and believed Q would wipe out “the people who were causing all the world’s misery,” supposedly a cabal of transgender people who run the world’s governments and corporations.
When Michael Protzman, the leader of the QAnon cult that believes former President John F. Kennedy and his son JFK Jr. are still alive, died in June, people hoped the end was near for the group. The family members of those who joined the cult hoped it would disband so that their loved ones would finally return home.
But instead, a new leader has seemingly emerged: a 13-year-old girl known to her followers only as “Tiny Teflon,” the name of the Telegram channel she uses to communicate with her followers. According to multiple live chats on Telegram reviewed by VICE News, Protzman appears to have groomed the girl as his protege, hosting her on his live chats on Telegram, where he had tens of thousands of followers.
Tiny Teflon has created her own channel, conducted live streams with followers, and most worrying of all, has announced her plan to indoctrinate more children into the cult by teaching them how to decode real word events using the movement’s bastardized form of Jewish numerology, gematria.
“I definitely think I’m gonna have more kids involved in this,” Tiny said during a live chat on her channel on August 6. “Maybe they could share more code, because I don’t want to be talking the entire time when I do this show in the future. So I’ll definitely think of having kids share codes and teach what they know too.”
“It’s worrying to see this young girl be put on a pedestal by a bunch of adults after the passing of Protzman,” an open-source researcher who uses the nickname “Karma” to avoid being targeted by the members of Protzman’s cult, which she has tracked closely since its inception, told VICE News.
When alive, Protzman used gematria to convince his followers that he could see into the future and communicate with everyone from former president Donald Trump to JFK Jr. Before becoming a cult leader, Protzman was a demolition expert in Washington state. He first gained attention in November 2021 when he convinced his followers that JFK and JFK Jr. were going to reappear in Dealey Plaza in downtown Dallas. Around a thousand people traveled from across the country to Dallas only to be disappointed by the Kennedys’ failure to appear.
Despite this, many of Protzman’s dedicated followers remained loyal, and followed him across the country for the next 18 months. Many of them destroyed their families and finances in the process. Protzman continued to claim JFK Jr. was alive and continually changed his predictions, at one point claiming Trump was just JFK Jr. in disguise, and finally, shortly before his death, claiming he was in fact the reincarnated JFK Jr.
Protzman died on June 30 in a Rochester hospital 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.
Conspiracy cult leader Michael Protzman dies at 60 from dirt bike crash injuries 2 years after claim JFK would reappear
QANON cult leader Michael Protzman has died after being involved in a dirt bike accident, according to reports.
Protzman died of multiple blunt force injuries after losing control of his dirt bike at the Meadow Valley Motocross track in Millville, Minnesota, on June 30, a medical examiner’s report obtained by Vice News showed.
Protzman, known as Negative 48 by his followers, emerged as a QAnon guru in early 2021 when he garnered over 100,000 followers on his Telegram channel over the course of the Covid-19 pandemic.
A believer that former president John F. Kennedy and his son JFK Jr. were still alive, Protzman convinced thousands of followers from across the US to travel to Dallas in November 2021 to witness the former commander-in-chief’s “reappearance” at Dealey Plaza – the site of JFK’s assassination in 1963.
He claimed Kenndy would reinstate Donald Trump as president and help him carry out the persecution of a global cabal of pedophilic, blood-drinking liberal elites that QAnon, or Q, devotees believe run the world despite no evidence.
When his baseless prediction never came to pass, he would change his conspiracies to keep his followers in line.
A social media influencer with ties to the QAnon movement has been sentenced to jail for falsely accusing a Latino couple of trying to kidnap her children, Law & Crimereported on Friday.
“Kathleen ‘Katie’ Sorensen, a white mother of two, made an Instagram video in which she made up a story about Sadie Vega-Martinez and Eddie Martinez — a Hispanic couple she did not know — trying to kidnap her then 4-year-old son and 1-year-old daughter,” reported Jason Kandel.
She was sent to prison for 90 days Thursday on a count of knowingly making a false report of a crime, the website reported.
Sorensen, who lives in California, originally went viral in 2020 as she claimed in a video from her car that a couple, later revealed to be Eddie and Sadie Vega-Martinez, tried to abduct her children at a Michael’s craft store.
But her story fell apart almost immediately as police found “inconsistencies,” and it turned out the whole thing was fabricated. She was arrested in May 2021.
Prosecutors believe she fabricated the story to boost and monetize her following, prosecutors noted — but there may have been a political and conspiracy theory basis for it, too.
