I have first hand accounts of first hands accounts that the ballots were smelling like tacos or something. I think this is big. It means that Mexico very likely manipulated the election. Can someone point me to a whistleblower site where I can report this? This information could very well reinstate President Trump

indiscriminately posted:The Q-pilled nypd union leader just had his union headquarters raided: https://www.nydailynews.com/new-yor...6m2i-story.html Wasn't he posting videos of himself ranting about how liberals were evil before the election? They took his gun away and he retired the next day. LOL. I wonder when we will find out what hosed up poo poo he was doing? Literally insurrection? Probably not since they didn't take him into custody but it may be his records and documents they really want since he would have been talking to people at a certain level.

So if we imagine palantir as a sort of inverted Facebook, where you can create a record of a person, then map out who they correspond with and what thought leaders they engage with, imbibe content from, and signal boost... If the feds are raiding the digital correspondences of insurrectionists and exporting their social media data to a palantir-style system... They'd get a pretty clear view of the propaganda machine and the origins of many weaponized memes. That info might be kept a closely guarded secret, employed by us intelligence for planning, or analysis of it might be employed (by the federal machine) for ("counter"-)propaganda purposes. I don't know if this is actually being done but it would kinda surprise me if it weren't. Anyway, the larger the sample - the more fascist insurrectionists they do social media exfiltration and meta analysis of - the more starkly defined the propaganda machine will appear. And mind you, I'd be furious (and quite anxious) if the US Federal apparatus started using this approach to break up the Water Protector network, or BLM, or lgbtq or labor activism etc. Still, I think the qanon propaganda machine in particular is vulnerable to this approach. I don't know that doing this to blm would do anything more than illuminate an active national grass roots movement (plus some delineated attempts at astroturfing). With qanon, when you do this, you find a very tight knit web of influencers sharing in a coordinated manner, and a top-down flow of deliberate narrative injection. I mean, the way I see it.

So, maybe some parts the Q universe now think the traitor General Kelly is now in league with Satan? Would be pretty cool if they turn on him and he gets a dose of the abuse they spew.

Lord Stimperor posted:I live in The Netherlands. One of my neighbours now has two Q stickers on their car. WTF America keep that poo poo at home It's a thing here. We've had Q stickers over the pedestrian heads on road signs for a year now and I'm even seeing new ones in the past few weeks: Today we had a small group in Guy Fawkes masks standing in the city center holding up signs that say Anonymous and one of them holding up a screen with static. Felt more like they were role playing Dedsec from the Watch Dogs game series than anything else but I didn't take the time to see what they were about. Oh and a few months ago we had a small Corona protest with Bill Gates = Devil and "Plannedemic" signs. TL;Dr American craziness isn't a recent import and it probably developed at the same time since as others have said, you can fit the Q stuff into any other craziness you already believe in.

Does “planndemic” still work in Hollish or is this the downside of a whole country that speaks BBC newscaster-perfect English? Also how angry were these people on the Dutch version on the angry scale? Were these folks normal, polite “anger” or in full “football match with Germany werewolf rage” mode?

It's 'plandemie' in Dutch (plan = plan, pandemic = pandemie), but yeah it's quite normal to use English here. Also, there's been Qanon graffiti in several places in my Dutch hometown for years. So it's not that new, although they were probably all done by the same guy.

Unfortunately tools like Palantir tend to exist simply to provide a veneer of objectivity or authority via “the algorithm” to conclusions which have already been reached. It could probably accomplish what you’re describing, but the challenge isn’t it synthesizing all of that data, or even gathering it; the challenge is getting the organizations using it to consider what you’re describing as a problem in the first place

A good coverage of Trump's Iowa Rally from now-independent journalist Aaron Rupar:quote:Two days after Trump went on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show and echoed the racist opening line of his first presidential campaign by accusing Haitian migrants of spreading AIDS, top Iowa Republicans provided the latest demonstration Saturday of how Trump’s hold over the party remains absolute, with Gov. Kim Reynolds, Sen. Chuck Grassley, and Reps. Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Ashley Hinson introducing him before his rally in Des Moines.

So I was helping my mom this weekend with something on her phone and as I’m swiping through, I’m floored by how many “Kraken” and MAGA apps she has installed. This was a woman at the beginning of the pandemic that took COVID seriously and talked about Trump supporters with disdain. Now we’re here in late 2021 and she’s refusing to get the vaccine even though my age 85+ grandparents will never be able to travel again to the US. It’s mind boggling that this is all done in the name of personal freedom when they are restricting their own freedom more than any lockdown ever did. But after looking at the Apple App Store, why are there so many of these Q-Anon adjacent apps and where are the left-wing apps? People talk a lot about Facebook but if that were to magically disappear people like my mom would just move on to these unmonitored news aggregator apps.

I think there aren't left-wing apps because leftists generally use multiple sources of information as opposed toone or two approved ones.

I think the Kraken was supposed to be some big piece of evidence that would prove the election was stolen, or something?

A lot of it is incentive structures. [Link Rick Perlstein's classic Baffler piece here]. The RW griftosphere has always paired their messaging with selling dick pills and gold coins, so they want to cast as wide a net as possible to catch the maximum number of suckers. Leftists aren't immune to scams or disinformation (we're still human after all) but leftists are more innately suspicious of someone trying to sell them something for a few obvious reasons

Yeah the Kraken was Powell and Wood's series of lolsuits that' were supposed to prove dominion used Chavez designed software to steal the election for Biden. It was supposed to be the grand cinematic gesture (because these people think life is paced like a movie) that turned the whole thing around. Instead they got laughed out of court and are currently ineffectually appealing a sanctions order against them.

Powell and Wood are lawyers with fairly distinguished careers. When Wood represented Unsworth against Elon in the pedoguy suit most legal observers thought that it was bad news for Musk. Then everyone was baffled at how poorly the trial went and the legal community began to realize Wood had an accelerating case of boomer brain worms.

What's really amazing is how Powell and Wood seemed surprised that the Tucker Defense didn't work for them. They really should have known you can't go "Lol jk no rational person would believe this." Once the paperwork is filed. Antics like that are how you get the judge to order the bailiff to make your ribcage into a stylish waistcoat

I love how Powell is arguing in the sanctions hearings that she did her due diligence etc etc but then in the Dominion defamation case she insists "that's like, just my opinion bro, don't take it literally".
