She has instructed her followers to send form letters accusing healthcare providers and pharmacies of war crimes for providing coronavirus vaccinations. One person spent $65 to send out the letters via certified mail to various businesses.<br /><br />Using her online Telegram account she told her followers to spam people like school officials with fake cease and desist letters. <br /><br />On November 25th she stated online that “Duck Hunters” should shoot anyone vaccinating children to protect young lives from the “coronavirus bioweapon.”<br /><br />All of this QAnon stuff sounds amusing but sometimes its delusions can be deadly. A California father claimed Illuminati and QAnon conspiracies had enlightened him, visions revealing his wife had “serpent DNA.” To spare his children from turning into monsters he killed them with a spearfishing gun.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"> <br />

Valiant is known in UFO conspiracy circles from the non-nonfiction book <i>Stranger at the Pentagon</i> by Dr. Frank Stranges (1967). I'm more than happy to give Val eXposure. Did you know he was a close friend of Mamie Eisenhower?

On page 8 of this scanned fanzine there is a story The End of
Pennywhistle listed under “HUMOUR by “damon knight.” The story
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-US">opens
</span></span></span>in the year 1989 in the metropolis <span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-US">of
</span></span></span> Thickerwhichet-on-theStinglebottom, the unnamed
narrator explaining how civilization fell apart.</span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">

<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-US">The
cause of the Great Catastrophe is one Mortimer Pennywhistle – well,
actually his hind end. A strange radiation emitted from that area
disintegrates ratchet handles and the straws on brooms. These
objects are destroyed when they enter the unearthly radiation zone.</span></span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="en-US">At
first the odd effect only occurs within a few feet of Pennywhistle’s
posterior. It’s thought lead pants might alleviate the problem but
the radiation intensifies, overcoming any thickness of lead. While
growing in power the radiation starts to expand, broom staws and
ratchet handles miles away falling apart under its energy.</span></span></span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">And what multiplies the
problem even more is that suddenly ten people suffer from the same
condition. These newly infected are exiled to either the North or
South Pole. But no sooner than those ten are isolated ten more show
up. (Radiation symbolizing the spread of STI?)</span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span>
</p><span style="font-family: arial;"></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">At the end the narrator ends

frigid wastes of Antarctica, is sending his selectively destructive
radiation out into the universe, affecting other worlds.</span></span><span style="font-family: arial;"></span><span style="font-family: arial;">

</span></span><p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">U.S.
Representative Louie </span></span></span></span><em><span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Gohmert
(R-Texas)</span></span></span></span></em>
doesn’t believe climate change is man-made, it’s just the forces
of nature at work. (He also claimed he got Covid 19 from wearing a
mask but I digress.) During a subcommittee hearing he asked <span style="font-variant: normal;"><span style="letter-spacing: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">the
associate deputy chief for the National Forest System</span></span></span></span>
if climate change could be fixed by altering the orbit of the moon or
the Earth’s orbit around the sun. (<a href=" https://bit.ly/3krbo8S" target="_blank"><span lang="zxx"></span></a> <a href="https://bit.ly/3krbo8S">https://bit.ly/3krbo8S</a>
) I didn’t know the Forest Service was part of the Space Force.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span><p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Such
statements cast the image of the Republican party as anti-science.
Louie’s moving statement was the source of amusement for some.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span><p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Don’t
despair, Louie. Just take a look at the 1962 Japanese SF movie
Gorath ( <a href="https://archive.org/details/1962Gorath_201811">https://archive.org/details/1962Gorath_201811</a> ). The title
refers to a runaway star entering our solar system with a mass 6000
times that of Earth. It’s gravitational pull is so great that it
sucks off Saturn’s rings.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span><p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Like
Louie’s proposal to fix climate change this movie involves moving
the Earth of out its normal orbit. This move will help the planet
dodge the approaching death orb.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span><p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">But
how to change the Earth’s orbit? Check this out, Louie:
mankind unites to build gigantic atomic powered jet tubes at the
south pole.</span></span></p><p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-47x1vVNGKrs/YPZSZOYtGFI/AAAAAAAABs4/660p7pfD_CoNJb2SIfdeWmYUBCJffpJygCLcBGAsYHQ/s1366/02_Gorath%2B-%2Bjets.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1366" height="248" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-47x1vVNGKrs/YPZSZOYtGFI/AAAAAAAABs4/660p7pfD_CoNJb2SIfdeWmYUBCJffpJygCLcBGAsYHQ/w441-h248/02_Gorath%2B-%2Bjets.png" width="441" /></a></span></div><p></p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span><p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></p><p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">But
there’s a setback when the jets disturb the sleep of a prehistoric
creature. Godzilla? No, its a blubbery giant walrus called Ma</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-US">guma</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;">,
flippers flapping, destroying part of the jet tube installation.
Don’t worry, Louie. We can use a laser to kill any such kaiju that
might intefere with our plans.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span><p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">One
detail not addressed by moving the planet is what happens to the
moon, how its orbit would be affected by a disruption in the normal
interplay between it and Earth. But it doesn’t matter after Gorath
devours the moon. </span></span>
</p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span><p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">So
watch the movie, Louie, and show the way to realistically fix climate
change. Keep in mind the movie doesn’t address how to return the
Earth to its normal orbit but hey – if climate change is eliminated
then why worry?</span></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">

</span></span><p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Director
Indiro Honda didn’t want a kaiju in this film but was forced to add
one. He thought the story stood on its own without a monster on the
loose. The above link in the article takes you to the original
Japanese version with English subtitles that includes Maguma. The
American version excised his scenes. Maguma looked too silly,
earning the nickname Wally the Walrus. </span></span>
</p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span><p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I
thought Maguma looked familiar and then I remembered an episode of
the TV series Ultra Q that recycled the suit in a story about a plane
that lands in a</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span lang="en-US">nother</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;">
dimension.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span></span><p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Yes,
Louie Gohmert is real even though Maguma is more believable.</span></span></p><p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></p><p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rhKRP91Q3Mk/YPZSnlS-O_I/AAAAAAAABs8/jTU2vm6bVQUTzy6AaHGjFyNgjUHGgUK6wCLcBGAsYHQ/s1280/03__2021-07-19-06-18-28.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1280" height="322" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rhKRP91Q3Mk/YPZSnlS-O_I/AAAAAAAABs8/jTU2vm6bVQUTzy6AaHGjFyNgjUHGgUK6wCLcBGAsYHQ/w515-h322/03__2021-07-19-06-18-28.png" width="515" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><p></p><p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">* * *</span></span></p><p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Now I'll wait and see if anyone comments.

I've spent half-an-hour trying to post the previous article. In the past I would copy and paste an article with no problems. I had switched to the new blogger format but everything kept screwing up. Then I went back to the previous version but still had problems. I had to convert the article to plain text, stripping away all the links I had throughout the post. I only bothered to restore the link to my ezine where you will find all the links intact.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana";">If this happens again I will only post a link to the latest issue of my ezine and forget this crapified place.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />
A quick search reveals that I'm not the only one having problems with the new and improved format. If it's not broken FUCK IT UP!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">By Ray X</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Why enjoy science fiction only as entertainment when you can live it?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">For example Bill Gates is the James Bond supervillian behind the Covid-19 pandemic. He created the deadly disease!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">5g cellphone towers are spreading Covid-19. That's why concerned citizens have been setting them on fire in England.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Meanwhile in Australia bush fires were started by exploding smart sensors and lasers. What is behind this infernal plot? The fires are making away for a high speed rail link, all part of a UN project to depopulate the world. The high speed rail will help reduce the population of rural areas that are generally conservative, forcing people off the land to be vegans living in city apartments.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">But this is nothing new. Back in 2018 wildfires were ravaging California thanks to DEWs – directed energy weapons. That's why some structures were left standing while others were destroyed. Those damn nefarious government traitors!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">All of this is being promoted by QAnon, a group of followers of a mysterious internet entity called Q. Why the letter Q? It refers to the highest governmental clearance, meaning access to even Above Top Secret materials. Q seems to be a concerned governmental official in the belly of the beast, exposing deep state plots. And there's the predictions like Hillary Clinton was going to be arrested back in October 2017 and violence would ensue. Remember that?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">In an article published in the Atlantic – The Prophecies of Q by Adrienne LaFrance – the writer mentioned two middle aged women who became a QAnon true believers. The writer asked them why do some Q predictions don't come true like Hillary being arrested. The women replied Q sometimes uses deception, that was part of his plan.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">So if I predict an event and it doesn't come true, I wasn't wrong, I was deceiving you, testing you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Why should you believe any of the QAnon conspiracies? Simple. President Donald Trump has been retweeting posts from QAnon believers. What more proof do you want?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">And don't worry, none of this could lead to violence. Well, there was a glitch when a QAnon follower showed up at a pizza parlor with an AR-15 style rifle, searching out the secret HQ of Hillary Clinton's pedophile ring. No one was hurt but he did fire into a closet. No secret entrance, just a computer inside. Oops.</span><br />
