It's interesting to read the government's case and evidence against all involved then compare it to the Q documentary on HBO. The entire Q phenomenon and it's effects on the cultists involved is incredible, especially when you look how it came together using a band of misfits.

It’s almost like QANON was an idea that became weaponized. Which is frustrating- remember back in mid 2018 I was like - stop what you are doing and read this affidavit -it was the 1st time the FBI issued a bulletin and specifically stated how dangerous QANON followers are. The case involved a mother who was a QAnon-Believer who attempted to kidnap her own children and murder her ex husband.

I remember that post. I'm curious if there are any updates now.

I have to double check but I think there was concern that she wasn’t mentally fit to stand trial but I might be confusing that with a similar case in CO circa 2020 versus the 2018 case

I think there are many that share your level of discomfort. I'm hoping the reason there haven't been quadruple the number of arrests is because they (FBI) want to make sure they have an airtight case against each and every one of the insurrectionists involved in this debacle

Look for a more detailed article about that topic tomorrow —it’s definitely uncomfortable but I also agree slow & steady is the best course.

Filey, I'm reading via Newsweek that Barnes was killed in a motorcycle accident (he ran a red light).

If I tabulated correctly the Summer of 2020 resulted in the arrest of over 600 - the Jan 6th deadly insurrection it has been frustrating to see how slowly the wheels of justice move. I’m trying my best not to be overly critical but I can’t square the obvious delta in the summer’s peaceful protest to Trump’s insurrection
