All Hail Romana Didulo, QAnon Queen of Canada

Image
  Like COVID-19 QAnon quackery is not limited to national borders. Romana Didulo says Queen Elizabeth committed crimes against   humanity and was killed, making Didulo Queen of Canada.  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. Using her online Telegram account she told her followers to spam people like school officials with fake cease and desist letters.    On November 25th she stated online that “Duck Hunters” should shoot anyone vaccinating children to protect young lives from the “coronavirus bioweapon.” 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 tur...

Hey, Kids, It's Valiant Thor!

Image
In my review in Ray X X-Rayer #160 of the American Horror Story: Death Valley TV mini-series I mention how Valiant Thor is involved with the evil gray aliens.  Valiant is known in UFO conspiracy circles from the non-nonfiction book Stranger at the Pentagon 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?  Read all about it in XR #160.

This SF Short Story Was Intended To Be The Butt of Many Jokes

Image
From the latest edition of Ray X X-Rayer #157 ezine.  This issue and previous ones are available at https://efanzines.com/RXXR/index.htm . Spaceways, v. 3, issue 4, May 1941 | The University of Iowa Libraries – https://digital.lib.uiowa.edu/islandora/object/ui%3Ahevelin_3517_2_2 On page 8 of this scanned fanzine there is a story The End of Pennywhistle listed under “HUMOUR by “damon knight.” The story opens in the year 1989 in the metropolis of Thickerwhichet-on-theStinglebottom, the unnamed narrator explaining how civilization fell apart. 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. 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 inten...

Get A Move On

Image
As I mentioned before I haven't been posting any articles lately due to the new and improved Blogger being a pain in the ass when I'm trying to properly format.  So I'll try it one more time. *  *  * U.S. Representative Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) 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 the associate deputy chief for the National Forest System if climate change could be fixed by altering the orbit of the moon or the Earth’s orbit around the sun. ( https://bit.ly/3krbo8S )   I didn’t know the Forest Service was part of the Space Force. Such statements cast the image of the Republican party as anti-science. Louie’s moving statement was the source of amusement for some. Don’t despair, Louie. Just take a look at the 1962 Japanese SF movie Gorath ( https://archive.org/details/1962Gorath_201811 ). The title r...
