It appears far-right figure & Trump confidant Laura Loomer fell for an apparent satirical post from a Krassenstein brother that then went around on social media (possibly as real by some).

In a new interview with far-right conspiracy theorist Ann Vandesteel, J6 & Unite the Right participant Tyler Dykes (www.politico.com/news/2024/07...), who's running for Congress in South Carolina, said that as a member of Congress he would "fight for you ... the way that I did in January 6."

This week, former Florida House speaker & current GOP gubernatorial candidate Paul Renner went on far-right conspiracy theorist Ann Vandersteel's podcast. Vandersteel, who has promoted QAnon, Pizzagate, & sovereign citizen ideology, endorsed Renner, who said he was "honored to have your support."

Multiple online influencers affiliated with the QAnon conspiracy theory are baselessly suggesting that newly released emails from Epstein are actually evidence Trump was an “informant” who worked to take down the convicted sex trafficker, reports Alex Kaplan. www.mediamatters.org/qanon-conspi...

A few days ago, during a stream focused on Portland, host "PatriotRob" on a Proud Boys-affiliated podcast claimed that "real patriots are not cop-callers," that "the right handles our shit [on] our own," & to "let the left be the fucking bitches that call the cops."

Trump administration & Voice of America official Kari Lake was photographed with "Plandemic" conspiracy theorist Mikki Willis, apparently at a James O'Keefe event last week at Mar-a-Lago.

This also comes a couple of months after House Speaker Mike Johnson made a similar claim, a claim that reportedly bewildered Trump administration officials & which Johnson later backtracked on.

With the new release by Congress of Epstein emails regarding Trump, there's been some discussion & invoking of QAnon with regards to it.

Well, this is a matter of fact how some of the conspiracy theory's supporters are reacting to those emails.

QAnon influencers have baselessly suggested that newly released Jeffrey Epstein emails show Trump was an “informant” against Epstein.

It comes as the QAnon community has for months tried to rationalize Trump opposing the Epstein files’ release.

Among the accounts Trump amplified yesterday on Truth Social also included an account called "PATRIOTIC PINUPS," whose avatar is a closeup of a woman's breasts. The post came from a Truth Social group with the same name that appears to be dedicated to women in less clothing.

This appears to be at least the 2nd time Trump has amplified a post from a Truth Social group affiliated with QAnon. In September 2023, Trump amplified a post from a Truth Social group called "Q" dedicated to "anon news."

Yesterday morning, Trump amplified at least 2 QAnon-promoting accounts. One of those accounts' posts Trump amplified was from a Truth Social group dedicated to "digital soldiers" & "anons," (the latter being a term QAnon supporters use to describe themselves).

In the past, content from Christopher Blair, the "satire" story creator, has been spread as real by others, such as Macedonian hoax sites. Now that includes the president of the United States.

STEWART RHODES (FOUNDER, OATH KEEPERS): I've been invited to speak across the country about January 6. And now that I'm relaunching Oath Keepers, I'm getting more invitations to come speak as well. So, yeah, I'm relaunching the organization and rebuilding it. ... They tried to take us out after January 6 but what man means for evil, God will use for good. I came out stronger after it, and so my goal is to rebuild the organization stronger than ever because it's an essential mission. Absolutely. JIM HOFT (HOST): Oh, that's wonderful news. So the Oath Keepers is going to have a relaunch here, and Stewart's breaking that news this weekend? RHODES: Yes, sir. ... RHODES: I mean, I have to make sure that if I'm ever taken out again or if I'm or when I'm taken out again, that the organization can drive on without me. That's not what happened last time. ... So we want to make sure it's got resilience and redundancy built in that it can drive on strong. With the same mission, though. You can't call yourself an Oath Keeper if you're not willing to protect people against radical antifa and other leftist violence in the streets.

STEWART RHODES (FOUNDER, OATH KEEPERS): And one other thing I want to say is that President Trump, as commander in chief, always has absolute authority to call all of us up as the militia because every one of us — in federal statues defining the militia, it's every able-bodied male from age 17-45. And for us veterans, it goes up to age 64 because of our prior training and experience. Right now, under federal statutes, President Trump can call us up as the militia if he sees it necessary, especially for three purposes: to repel invasions, to suppress insurrections, and to execute the laws of the union. And right now, we see all three of those in play. ... And the militia is all of us. So the National Guard is part of the militia, which is why it's completely lawful for him to use the National Guard as he has, and he should do more of that, I think, across the country. ... He could just say given the circumstances of an invasion, insurrection, and resistance against federal law being being enforced, I'm calling up the militia, ordering all the men to come together [in] every county, put the veterans in charge of training and organizing all the other men and just have them stand too and await his orders. He can do that and I think he should do that. And so that's what I'll be advocating for from him. So from the bottom, from down the rank and file, we can let President Trump know that we're ready to serve, encourage him to do that, call us up as a militia, order us all to come together in our counties under his command, which gives you complete legal sanction to do what you're doing.

In a new blog post, Andrew Torba, the CEO of Gab, a social media platform known as a haven for white nationalists, lauded the "economic miracle" of Nazi Germany, claiming that the Nazis "understood a fundamental truth our leaders deny: that an economy must serve its own people first."

In a new podcast interview, Eric Orwoll, the leader of the whites-only community Return to the Land, said he had a falling out with Nick Fuentes — who's previously supported Orwoll & RTTL — saying he's "concerned if that guy is put in a position of authority" because Fuentes "is just too emotional."

In a new podcast interview, anti-vax figure & RFK Jr. ally Sherri Tenpenny while attacking vaccines falsely claimed that measles has "never been deadly," that it actually "strengthens your immune system," & that "people that have had measles are less likely to get brain cancer."
