The liberals are destroying California, and conservative humor gone awry... Conservative humor gone awry is going to fascistphonia today, so stay tuned.
We're going to take a few pictures of the desert and how their policies are actually messing it up.
It's not beautiful when you go across that border.
Stay tuned guys, we'll show you exactly what it looks like when you're in the middle of the storm deserts.
All their environment, all the time.
Stay tuned.
Okay, I'm Alexander Edward.
And I'm Tony Boswell.
And we are Minion Death Cult.
The world is ending.
The Deep State is responsible.
We're documenting it.
We have an amazing episode for everyone today.
I'm going to describe why it's so amazing in just a second, but I wanted to announce next month's Patreon giveaway.
So, long-term fans of the show may have seen a photo of Tony and I posing with Minion Death Koozies.
These are crocheted beer koozies, or LaCroix koozies.
Hand-knitted by previous guest, friend of the show, Leigh-Anne Dieffendorf.
These are koozies that have been knit to resemble Minions.
Yeah, I think you can wear that as a condom and it's fine.
You're not going to get anyone pregnant.
We have three of them to give away.
We have An evil minion, the glowing, piercing red eye.
We have a bot minion, which has a steely gaze as well.
And a new introduction, we have a queue minion.
What?
American flag Q minion.
We weren't sure which the third one was going to be.
We settled on Q minion.
So an appropriate minion for this episode.
The way you enter to win one of these minion death koozies is you just be subscribed to the Patreon.
Just be subscribed to the Patreon at the three or five dollar level and We'll draw three of you guys, guys, gals, non-binary pals, to win one of these koozies each.
That's all you gotta do.
I will say that, you know, it's more than worth it, because it's not just a koozie.
Like many a pillowcase, these koozies can become, like, companions.
You know, they're like, you can tell them anything, they'll always be soft for you, they'll always be there for you, they'll always wipe up your tears.
Throw away that anime body pillow, because you got a minion death koozie.
If you turn it upside down, you can just wear it on your head like Pussy Riot.
I mean, let's go for it.
Yeah, exactly.
It's very multi-use.
It's good for your heart.
And long-term listeners as well may have noticed we didn't do an episode last week.
That's because I was worked way too much.
I did back-to-back 14-hour shifts, barely had space in my brain for household chores, let alone an episode, but we did release a Patreon bonus episode last week.
So yeah, the way to hear that and every bonus episode we do is go to patreon.com slash MinionDeathCult.
P-A-T-R-E-O-N dot com slash MinionDeathCult.
You get all those back episodes, including a bonus episode every week, and entered to win one of these koozies.
Thank you to everybody who has subscribed.
We'll give you a shout out next episode, probably.
Okay, let's introduce our guest here.
We have Julian Fields from the QAnon Anonymous podcast.
How you doing, buddy?
Hey, thanks.
Thanks so much for having us, guys.
You know, me and And no one else so I fucked that up immediately One of your worst guests by far, but thanks so much for having me.
I love what you guys do and it's a pleasure Thank you.
I also fucked it up by announcing you as Fields.
It's Julian Field.
That's a very common one, though, to be fair.
You know, plural, singular.
You made that happen, Alex.
You said Fields.
You heard plural.
Now you're us.
Like, yeah.
Thanks a lot.
Thanks a lot, Alex.
Real cool.
The Field brothers.
Thanks.
Thank you so much, Alex.
Really.
You're over here, haven't seen your brother in years, would really like to, thought he was here, not nowhere to be found.
So if you haven't heard the QAnon Anonymous podcast, uh, it's wonderful.
I highly recommend the episode on Stefan Molyneux, which I just listened to this week, uh, goes into detail on how deranged that man is and just how, uh, I don't know if he's unaware of how deranged he is, but like you guys describe on the show, part of his brand is that cheery personality, which does not jibe at all with what he reveals about himself.
Not at all.
Yeah, it's very interesting because Stefan is the perfect case of like, once your Patreon grows to a certain size, you no longer need to change your abhorrent morality.
One day.
One day.
I don't want to reveal too much, but the thing about what he does during his wife's therapy sessions, I mean, his wife is the therapist and performs these sessions in their home.
And what Stéphane Molyneux, what his role is in that situation is incredible.
So go listen to that episode at the very least.
I'll tell you this much.
It really didn't help with my anxiety I'm having right now over finding a new therapist.
Because I have so many prerequisites.
I need to find someone that maybe understands black people.
Maybe understands queer people.
Maybe doesn't have a husband.
But also isn't a husband.
Well, get you a therapist who cares enough to have a husband listening through the vents.
That's all I have to say about that.
Okay, so the reason this episode is so special is not just because of Julian, although he certainly helps.
It is because this is probably one of the most, if not the most, Minion Death Cult episode we've ever done.
I think I've only said that once before, and it was when we were covering the anniversary of Pearl Harbor.
We covered PragerU's explainer on why dropping atom bombs on Japan was good, actually.
And Stephen Crowder's jokes about how Black Lives Matter is equivalent to the Axis that we fought against there.
Just wholesale endorsement of genocide.
So, pretty Minion death cult.
This episode, I think, surpasses that.
I'll say we didn't give that PragerU article enough credit.
I recently went back over it again when I was having my five-year-old do reports on the PragerU website.
We visited that one again.
It's actually some pretty good writing.
It's actually got some pretty valid points.
Did she have to do that for you to buy her some new clothes or what?
Yeah, school's next week.
Yeah.
Honey, get pilled!
Get pilled online by Boomers and I'll get you whatever you want!
School starts next week.
I can't go in there all...
All convoluted, not knowing about reality, so... If a five-year-old has to attend school at all without knowing Roger Stone, like, you've failed as a parent.
And she actually turns six, like, next week, too, so there's no excuses for this immature bullshit anymore.
So, the first story we're gonna talk about is that guy who whacked a mob boss for Trump.
Yep.
The second thing we're going to talk about is the More Minion Death Cult thing.
People who've been following the Twitter and Instagram might know what I'm talking about, but let's get into this QAnon slash MAGA mafia hit.
What do you know about this, Julian?
Well, we've been following this one since the beginning because obviously, you know, our podcast gets better as the world gets worse.
And when we saw that this, it's like a cross, you know what it is?
It's a crossover.
It's like two different universes.
You know, Goodfellas is like crossing over with conspiracy theory or something like that.
I mean, I don't even know what to describe about it.
It's so bizarre.
It's so weird.
It's so of our era.
And yes, we followed it from the beginning, between the time that he gunned down this Gambino crime family boss who had kind of made a name for himself by being a little more subtle than the previous bosses.
And he just gets pulled out in this kind of driveway and shot to death.
And obviously, it confused about a million people There were some early rumors that it was because of a girlfriend, I guess, that had jilted him and that was, you know, under, you know, in that family or whatever.
And that, I think that proved quite quickly to be false.
And there were rumors that perhaps, you know, he had kind of rammed the car, he picked up the plate, and then he shot him.
Whatever.
It's evolved into something way bigger, which is a defense plea Right.
involves saying someone's being red-pilled on QAnon and as such they are mentally unfit to be tried as an adult right so the basic event from as I understand it regardless of motivation is this guy who's like 24 yeah ran Anthony Comello.
Rams his car into the car of this mafia boss while it's parked in the mob boss's driveway.
The mob boss comes out and this young man attempts to arrest him on behalf of the deep state with handcuffs and everything.
The mob boss says, uh, no, no, I'm not, I'm not going to be handcuffed.
Guy shoots the mob boss.
Yeah.
You know you're in, like, a mob Cold War when the mob boss, a car gets rammed in front of his house and he walks out with no gun.
I mean, you know.
And then, apparently, I mean, you know what?
At first, like, there was no argument that he came to kill him.
And it's only now that the defense of Anthony Camello is claiming that he was there to do a citizen's arrest, which, to be honest, like, fits the portrait because twice he had attempted to do citizen's arrests.
Like, he clearly did not...
He was clearly on one, you know?
I mean, clearly, I think... This is a guy 24.
If you look at the trigger ages for psychosis, if you look at the trigger ages for schizophrenia, it's usually in the early 20s.
And so, you know, I tend to downplay it.
I know Travis, our other host, like, gets pissed at me because I downplay this first body count, but I tend to think that this has more to do with his mental illness, but mind-blowing that this kid who got pilled on QAnon, on fucking Instagram, basically, killed a mob boss!
This is the dumbest Goodfellas ever.
This is the worst Scorsese movie in the history of movies.
It is kind of mind-blowing.
It's very close to, like, Burn After Reading, except instead of the CIA, it's the Mafia.
Absolutely.
Just a complete dumbass stumbles upon what he thinks are, like, nefarious actors who probably are nefarious actors, just not for the reasons they think, and somehow they're able to actually fuck everything up.
And when I say fuck everything up, I mean for the world, not for they themselves.
Somehow they succeed in doing whatever fucked up thing their mind instructed them to do.
Yeah, it's funny.
If every straight QAnon bullet hits a mob boss, I mean, I'm sure that we won't count that movement as negative, but it is so random.
I really don't think if there's any more of a QAnon death count that it'll be in this line.
I mean, it's kind of a whole different demographic, too, is those who enact the citizen's arrest.
I don't even know what color that stripe on a flag would be for cop citizens.
No, it's only white people.
If you try to arrest people as a person of color in America, no one's even remotely interested.
Is it just an additional white line between two other white lines?
Yeah, I think so.
But like an off-white?
Like kind of a yellowish?
Exactly.
All white people are cops in training.
What was I going to say here?
It's funny, yeah, this was his plan apparently, allegedly.
Go do a citizen's arrest, question mark, question mark, take down the deep state.
And the second that didn't go through, he just killed him.
Which I think is probably like a good I don't know, microcosm, or a good illustration of, like, this, the level of understanding that these conspiracy theorists have to the way that the world works, like, oh, um, we're gonna just arrest all the deep state actors, and by that I mean just probably kill them.
Yeah, exactly.
There's no like, oh, we bring the truth to light, we try them in front of the nation, it's like, no, it's going to be all secret, we're just going to kill them.
We're going to disappear them.
But imagine being this kid's family, like, you basically, your son goes from being a kind of liability-fent addict at 24, which, you know, he really was a young man with issues with drugs and all that stuff, and he goes from being kind of like the black sheep of the family To being the reason you're in witness protection for the rest of your life.
I mean, this is a Long Island family that moved out, I believe, within the month.
Yeah, I mean, you could look at it as the most successful fail son ever.
Yes, exactly, yeah.
Who would think that you would amount to killing the Gambino boss?
Like, I'm not gonna lie, like, the guy has some issues, but he will definitely go down in history.
Well that's the problem with Hollywood.
In movies you can be this vigilante type person and then once they show up to the crime scene and you've gunned down a mob boss you just say, no it's cool, he was Deep State.
And they were like, by golly he sure was.
Thank you for your service.
And then you get to be a consultant for the FBI.
Isn't that the plot to Fast and the Furious basically?
Yes.
Yeah.
I think, yeah, family, muscles, uh, that's about, that's about all I know about it.
So he showed up to court with, uh, some writing on his hand, you know, for his arraignment or whatever it was.
Uh, he, he wrote the letter Q, giant on his hand, also MAGA forever.
Yep.
Uh, and then I think like Patriots will defend us or Patriots are succeeding, something like that.
It comes from the Patriots in Charge thing, but I believe he screwed it up, like, semantically.
I can't remember how, but it was like a subtle screw-up, but yeah, essentially it was a nod to that.
Yeah, and it's just, yeah, when you're trying, you might as well, if you're looking for your sentencing or you're looking, you know, to set up your plea deal or whatever it is, yeah, write Q on your fucking hand.
Like, you might as well have just wrote insane on his hand.
Yeah, that's exactly, I'm insane.
Exactly.
So this is obviously big news.
The defense was probably thrilled at this line of reasoning.
They're like, OK, great.
Yeah, you did it for Trump.
Perfect.
Cool.
Amazing.
He shows up with this cue on his hand.
How is the QAnon community?
We're going to get into QAnon responses from Facebook.
But in your experience, Julian, in your research, how is the QAnon community responding to this revelation?
You know, it's a real mixed bag.
I think they're very confused by this.
It does not fit into any of their preconceived narratives.
I think there was an early push to just kind of say, this is disinformation, this is people trying to paint our movement as an insane movement that would lead to a death.
But if they had any, you know, real backbone, they would be happy about a mob boss getting off.
I mean, this is the closest QAnon has come to eliminating corruption in any way, I mean.
Yeah, yeah.
But yeah, it's not enough.
Okay, let's get into our first Facebook comment.
So this is from a thread in one of my QAnon Facebook groups, and this thread was jump-started by our pal Jason.
Jason Fifi, who's in this group, who you should follow on Twitter.
I don't have his handle, but...
He started this thread in QAnon, God bless him, and it just yielded some wonderful results.
He posted the article and said, you know, said something benign.
Gave like a benign prompt of, uh, do you think this guy is for real or do you think he's just looking for a pardon from Trump?
Which is a level of infiltration that I could never muster.
I would like try to do it.
I would like try to do a joke or something in there and just get no responses, you know, just, so it was great.
Steven Brower comments, depends on if he's got a Lidtard judge or a conservative judge.
Yes.
So not really responding to the prompt of whether the guy is for real or not, more responding to how well this defense is going to play in court.
So is a Lidtard just someone who can't open a pickle jar?
I was going to ask you, being the QAnon expert, what a Lidtard is.
Yeah, I mean, I think we all know what's happening here.
A D and a B, it's the same letter flipped around.
I mean, honestly, when you think mirror-like cute on people, this makes sense.
Yeah, a lidtard is just somebody who collects a lot of hats.
You got shoe heads and lidtards.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, and the top is always missing, so they get sunburns on the top of their head.
My lid game is stupid.
So the question here is, or the sort of argument that he's posing, is that if it's a conservative judge, he will accept the defense that this man was acting for the good of the nation, and then throw out the case, or whatever, I think?
Yeah.
But if he's a libtard judge, he will see this defense and say, oh, I hate the nation.
I don't want you to defend that, and prosecute him to the full extent of the law.
Even though, like, a liberal judge is way more likely to be like, oh, he's clearly not stable.
So that's the only type of judge you might possibly work on, is like, oh, okay, like, he needs help.
Yeah, I don't want to break the heart of the QAnon community here, but I don't really think there's a difference between either side of the aisle.
I think they would both disown him.
Oh yeah, yeah.
Like, nobody has an interest in a young kid who just murdered someone, mob boss or not, out of nowhere, and is claiming to be radicalized online.
Nobody wants to claim that person in this day and age.
Yeah, that's a hot potato right there.
Beau McCarty does answer the prompt, says that this guy is most likely MKUltra victim, and to make QAnon followers look dangerous and crazy.
So, you know, you wouldn't want to do something like make QAnon followers look dangerous and crazy because it would just, you know, undercut the whole movement.
It'd be counterproductive, yeah.
Yeah, listen, in Long Island it's very difficult as a kind of upper middle class family.
You have to start farming out your early 20s children to, you know, cue in on people and anyone who wants to hit a mob boss.
Uh, so going to Beau McCarty's profile, I just wanted to, you know, see what a good representation of a QAnon follower might look like.
Uh, Beau McCarty's profile picture is a photo of Julian Assange, you know, post, uh, uh, post-asylum Julian Assange or mid-asylum Julian Assange with the beard.
Oh, this is him, this is him in the vehicle being, uh, carried away from the embassy.
Got it.
That's why there's a reflection in front of him.
It's the fucking car window.
He's got a thumbs up and he's winking.
And he is surrounded by a Q. By a giant letter Q, which looks like he just won the National Derby.
And it's like if the Matrix just showed only Q, just all across, that's it.
It's all made of tiny green Qs.
The Q itself, the frame like you said, is made up of tiny Qs, tiny green Qs, that look like the Matrix.
I love that.
So what we're dealing with here is...
Not a binary system, but a unary system of coding involving only the letter Q. That's right.
Which, I'm afraid to say, would yield no information.
None.
Yeah, I mean, imagine thinking that this guy is Neo.
I mean, if you've seen him skateboard in that room on that video footage, you know that he's not doing bullet time.
So just, when your thoughts are whirring, when you're reading through these conspiracy theories, when you're going down the rabbit hole, all that's happening in your brain is just the letter Q repeated infinitely.
That's right, yeah.
Yeah, a great illustration.
And then his cover photo is, of course, some sort of, what would you, like, It's like a mishmash of different images thrown together.
Yeah.
A collage.
It's a collage.
The original seems to be like a painting of Trump in front of the American flag with the presidential seal.
And then just a giant flaming letter Q stamped on top of it.
It's an icy flame, though.
A song of ice and fire.
And in the bottom left it says, Top Secret Patriots on a document.
You know those docs.
Yeah, it's where the documents are.
It's where the files are.
They're in that folder.
Filing cabinets are full of just shitty pieces of paper that say stuff like top-secret patriots.
It's just upsetting to know... Just in case a patriot finds it.
I'll never be able to read that.
I won't be able to open that folder.
Yeah, so top-secret.
Sorry, nope, not a patriot.
Sorry.
That's it.
When you crop something in Photoshop, it's what the FBI does.
They crop out the truth and they leave in whatever this is.
Yeah, I'm glad we just got a look at what a normal, sane, totally safe QAnon follower looks like.
This is absolutely standard.
Brian Good is looking at this photo, looking at the thumbnail of the courtroom drama, with him holding his hand out with the lettering on it.
And Brian Good says, ink is still wet.
Line break.
Hmm.
Dot dot dot.
Line break.
He's not Q. Line break.
He's not Q, he's more like V.
Is that V for Vendetta, or is he calling him a slurfer?
Is he saying a female genital kind of thing?
Oh, that's interesting.
I was thinking V for Vendetta.
But isn't V, like, also good?
What does that even mean?
Yeah, what would it mean for him to be a V?
I think, I mean, completely unironically, I think he just means that this guy is like a vigilante who assassinated some, you know, some power broker.
Which is what happens in, you know, that movie.
He takes out politicians and, you know, talk show hosts and shit like that.
So maybe not inaccurate, But, uh, I just like his certainty.
Hmm, the ink is still wet.
He's not Q. Which, I don't think was ever a question.
I don't think this guy was calling himself Q.
Well, I don't know, is Q something that like, besides Q, the ultimate person, like the person behind Q, when you embrace the Q mentality, do you become Q?
No, you become the news.
There is a saying, we are Q. Yeah, I am Q. But it's a lot less common than Q sent me, and actually Q sent me was part of what he scrawled on his hand.
If you look at the angles, it's bizarre, but there was one part that A couple of QAnon covering outlets were debating afterwards, including us.
And it did turn out, I think, to be QSentMe, which couldn't be more clear that he thinks he's getting his orders from someone.
But no, this Q follower is like many others.
He doesn't really understand words, semantics, even letters.
And so he is using semantics that are slightly off.
I mean, including the same thing with this guy.
He wrote kind of like...
the wrong spelling of the sayings on his hand.
Imagine working for a revolutionary movement and then fucking up the slogan when you get to the courthouse.
It's not the best. - That's how so many people feel when they hear me on this show. - And then also he noticed that the ink is still wet, which I don't know how you would notice that, but what is the implication there that if he was really Q, he would have drawn this thing on his hand a day earlier?
Yeah.
Well, if you're Q, then it dries faster.
You know, you're not a moist boy.
You're very dry.
Porous, ready to take on things.
That's right.
You're a canvas.
You're a blank canvas for anybody's Bic.
Brian Wade says, and you let a murderer have a pen he could stab someone with while in jail.
Right.
I mean, yeah.
Pens don't exist in jail.
That's a good point, man.
He is a murderer.
He could have easily done that.
But he wouldn't have done that because I don't think anybody in that jail was working for the deep state as well.
Because if they were, they wouldn't be in jail.
That's so true, yeah.
Yeah, we'll know whether or not the judge was a lid-tard if this guy stabs him with a pen.
Yeah.
That's right.
Yeah, I also responded to this comment with, good point!
And nobody got the joke.
Nobody laughed.
It was unfortunate.
I'm so sorry, man.
These people are not exactly the most refined audience.
Maureen Keeler says, These people will go so low that, comma, comma, Ruth did die in January, comma, comma, comma, there is body double, they could not get the body soon enough to prove, comma, these people are sick and stupidest education satin, quote, S, army of evil.
That's right.
These people will go very, very low.
And I like the idea of a boomer called Keeler.
My name is James Fall Over and Die. - Okay.
The Satin Army sounds sexy.
That's right.
You wouldn't be allowed in there.
You'd have to stay with the Seton Army, Tony.
I think Satin Army was one of the houses in Paris is Burning.
Yeah, I think you're absolutely right.
What is this?
I mean, I know that they think Ruth Bader Ginsburg has a body double or something, but what does they could not get the body soon enough to prove?
Are they talking about the mob boss's body?
No, this is definitely someone who had no interest in the mob boss whatsoever and just wanted to kind of sound off about Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
You know, these people will go so low, and that's about as much as she wants to address the mob thing.
Then she goes, Ruth did die in January.
Okay, fine.
There is body double.
They could not get the body soon enough to prove.
I'm assuming she's saying if they had seen the dead body of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Thank you for translating.
It's still not surfaced, but whatever.
They could prove that that was a body double.
Anyways, these people are six.
They're terribly educated, and they're Satan's army of evil.
Thank you for translating.
They're never going to find the body because, as we all know, most Democrats are big fans of cannibalism.
That's right.
That body's been eaten.
You know what?
They just put it... They threw the body over the fence into the Democratic side of Congress and it was gone within an hour.
They are the pigs of Mr. Woo in... What's the show?
Deadwood, Deadwood.
I heard that the heart was split between four freshman Congresswomen.
That's right.
And they will now take on the energy.
That's right, that made them the squad.
They were just regular Lidtards, but then they ate that body and they became the squad because it gave them power like in Highlander.
Which is why I'm petitioning now to call the squad the Junior Mafia, which is the lineage that Biggie left behind, just like RBG leaves us the squad.
That's right, yeah.
I don't know, man.
I don't trust AOC, man.
I'm thinking she's more of a Suge Knight.
She gives me Mace vibes, man.
She gives me Mace vibes.
Okay, one more comment.
This time from the Lidtard side.
Okay, this is from, I think, the Daily Mail.
We had to get both sides on this topic.
Sammy 1003 says, this is a vivid example who Trump's incessant hateful slash divisive rhetoric against minorities can be quite literally lethal.
It's scary to think how many other Trump supporters were brainwashed by his racist vitriol and feel they are quote on a mission from him to kill minorities slash immigrants.
Dude, you gotta hate when people target the Italian minority!
Woo!
This is very much in line with how Italians see themselves, and this is coming from a at least partially ethnic Italian.
I mean, he did also target Nancy Pelosi for citizen's arrest, another person of color.
Yeah, absolutely.
She's like Warren, part Native American, I believe.
Next, Trump is going to sick his cronies on all the Irish cops out there.
Yeah, he gets up there and he's like, Mics are rapists!
And you hate to hear it, you know, the kind of targeting, the racial targeting.
We all did kind of ignore his infamous comments on the only good Dago is, and then he got, the mic got cut off.
But I'll never forget that moment.
He's like, Sicily, that fucking shithole.
Listen, we used to call them wops, and then we started giving them papers.
Why do we do that, folks?
We're stupid.
We're idiots.
Now everyone's walking around like peach is a good idea.
These fucking libs at Ellis Island!
They're out of control!
Okay.
On to our second topic of the night.
I'm just gonna read this headline.
From Breitbart.com.
Federal government to reinstate the death penalty.
Ding ding ding.
So, before we get into this issue, I just want to go over the thumbnail for this story, which features Attorney General Barr in a very unflattering photo, which is not to say that there are any flattering photos of this man.
Fuckin' dinosaur-ass lookin' motherfucker.
He's licking the side of his cheek like he's been on meth for two days at a rave and he's just like, I need to clear up the pasties on the side of this because no one wants to talk to me anymore in the chill tent.
I posted this on Instagram and somebody in the comments was like, why did they use this photo of him?
And I was kind of wondering the same question.
But if you take a second look at it, knowing that there are no good pictures of Barr, This photo where, like you said, he's got his tongue hanging out at the corner of his mouth.
Much like a turtle would.
He's got one hand up to his brow as if, you know, shielding his eyes from the sun.
It's very clear that this photo implies he's on safari for the deep state.
Interesting, yeah.
I see it as this kind of like, I've been working so hard all day to get the death penalty reinstated.
I'm working for you, the common citizen out there who has not committed any penalties.
So, uh, first comment we gotta go with is Robert Holly Norton, who simply comments, a Facebook sticker of a minion cheering.
God fucking dammit!
Cheering the death penalty.
Those little minions, you gotta love them.
I know you guys planted this shit.
This is your podcast in image form.
I would never dream faking this because it would sound fake.
It would just sound fake.
It would sound like something we made up for the show, but of course, uh, the premise of the show was based on real life.
It's based on a cult of people who both love death and the minions.
So yeah, it was bound to happen.
Like I scrolled by this comment almost without thinking twice.
Yeah, it's like, oh, this is just another day in America.
Because there was, there were multiple, like, like, uh, there wasn't the Birdman hand-rub GIF, GIF, excuse me, but there were, like, the, ooh, goody, like, the three-year-old boy who is like, ooh, goody, ice cream, there was that GIF react.
Jesus.
There was also the, uh, GIF react of, what's his name?
The, the dorky brother or cousin from Napoleon Dynamite, Kip?
Yeah.
There was Kip doing the yes fist.
Oh, totally.
Wow.
The jock one?
No, the even nerdier, like, Bill Gates looking motherfucker.
Yeah.
That's right.
That's amazing.
There wasn't any bazingas.
We didn't get a bazinga.
But we got the minion cheering.
If you zoom into this minion cheering, Robert Holly Norton is wearing a black fedora, a wrap-around black sunglasses, and has a big Santa Claus-looking beard, and you're trying to fucking tell me this is not you in disguise?
That's what I'm saying.
There's no way we could have done this because I wouldn't have picked somebody so fucking cool.
That would have been too obvious.
Yeah, yeah, the rapist uncle vibe is strong with this one.
He looks like a bad guy for sure.
So we're going to go into comments here and just the overall response on the Facebook side of it.
And I think we can get to the QAnon side of it as we go through it.
There's just a couple comments I want to, these first three comments I want to get through, and then we'll talk about it more at length.
You cannot get more QAnon in this first comment, by the way.
It opens in the most QAnon possible way.
So Yoda J. Trump, which is an impression that I'm not going to do.
It says on Breitbart, when Hillary is executed, they should make her daughter do it and remind her how close she is to the gallows.
And screw this humane thing, I want her to swing from the gallows without breaking her neck so she slowly suffocates over 20 minutes.
And televise it.
When Hillary is executed, her daughter should remind her that she's on the gallows or near the gallows being executed.
How fucking out... I mean, this... I think this is supposed to remind Chelsea Clinton.
This is supposed to remind Chelsea Clinton.
Oh, how close she is.
Yeah.
Supposed to torture Chelsea Clinton.
When you have to execute your own parent, you know?
It's terrible.
It's a message that says, you might be executed.
Like, in the next five seconds, because the world has gone to complete shit.
By the way, Yoda J. Trump is definitely... Rapists.
They are.
All of the Mexicans.
There we go.
I'm just picturing that flashback scene in, what is it, The Quick and the Dead, where Sharon Stone's character is watching her father get hanged.
I think her father was the sheriff, and she's watching him get hanged, and they give her a gun and tell her to shoot down the rope, and she just shoots her own dad between the eyes instead.
That's what I think they want to happen to Chelsea Clinton.
Yeah.
And they won't kill her right away because they want her to live with the fact that she killed her mother for a little while.
They really wanted to sit with her.
These people are no better than Adam Friedland.
FedUp replies, I agree wholeheartedly!
Five exclamation points.
Yeah.
So...
This isn't insane, this is a horrific comment, obviously.
I dislike these politicians very much as well, but I don't want to watch them be tortured for 20 minutes on TV.
A, I don't think it takes 20 minutes to suffocate, so you might not get your wish there, Yoda.
Uh, B, just imagine this actually being televised into people's homes, and, uh, Yoda J. Trump has, like, called his wife and, I don't know, mother-in-law into the room and is forcing them to watch this, and after, like, 10 minutes, they're like, okay, yeah, we, you know, we've had enough, maybe?
Maybe we can just, uh, do something else for a little bit?
Nobody eats, nobody eats till she's dead.
Wife?
Come on, ex-wife.
Probably.
Yoda is divorced.
Just take Chelsea Clinton's money.
Take all of her money and like make her work a retail job for minimum wage.
That is like more than enough punishment.
Make her serve tables for the rest of her life.
Make her navigate the Affordable Care Act website.
All with like shared tips.
I think that's both fitting and more punishment enough.
Just make her live like a normal person for the rest of her life.
Program her to murder Epstein with her bare hands.
Release her over the island with a parachute.
Who knows?
I'm sure she's got plenty of spec ops experience.
There are some good ideas here.
I like that.
We can make her a weapon.
Just workshopping.
BlackmagicWolfRichardson says, all caps, whole thing.
That's okay.
Once she leaves America, she becomes open field game for any one who wants some target practice.
She will get what is coming to her, one way or another.
Trust me.
She better hope and beg that it's by a bullet in her head.
After all, there are some things that can be manipulated that makes living much worse than death.
Guarantee you that.
This is what happens when you send Americans off to war and they barely take casualties and they end up, like, massacring half the country in a kind of genocidal dissociation event.
And then, you know, they go home, they have nothing to do, and instead of driving around in circles like, you know, like a lot of these books kind of represented the Vietnam era, they are on Facebook all fucking day.
That's their version of driving endlessly around the local lake.
Could you imagine, like, genuinely thinking, like, aw, you're fucking lucky I'm not seeing you in Kuwait right now.
Because if I saw you in Kuwait, it'd be over.
But I'm seeing you here in America.
So... But once you leave this country, shit, open waters, baby!
I'll see you in the ocean!
Yeah, once billionaire Hillary Clinton leaves America, she will be void of any sort of protection or security.
That's for sure.
What sucks about coming home is, you know, the rules of engagement in your local Walmart are not very liberal.
You can't just open fire.
People get really upset.
Although, uh, I will say the rules of engagement in America are superior, uh, to those of, you know, to those of Afghanistan or whatever, because at least in America, you can, like, ride a badass Harley while you kill people.
That's right.
They don't allow that shit, thanks to the pussified rules of engagement over there.
That's right.
You want to sit back.
You don't want your back bent, uh, while you're trying to execute someone.
They also got mad at me when I tried to do Rage of the Sawed-Off.
Larry Goodman says, uh, Obama judges and the ACLU will block it.
And then Milton Christensen replies and says, when this is all done there will not be any of Obama's judges left.
Obomas.
Obomas judges.
See, that's the thing.
It's not a very good nickname, so I don't know if it's a typo or not.
It seems like a typo, because I've never seen this one.
I've seen Obummer and many others, but this one doesn't even seem like an insult.
Well, Obos is actually a very old, deep-cut racist joke.
It's an old, old racist epitaph.
That's right.
My great-grandma used to refer to my father as an Obo.
Yeah.
Dude, you know, I'm Italian.
Same thing.
You know, the violoncelle is always a huge insult.
Exactly.
I love this explanation.
Like, what if there are checks and balances to this?
And then the answer is, oh no, we're going to take care of the checks and balances.
Well, what about the Senate?
Oh no, we're going to execute them.
What about protesters?
Oh no, don't worry about them.
They'll be gone too.
Yeah, when what's over?
That's what's terrifying.
When the cleansing is over.
Yeah, The Great Awakening, man.
This is very, very QAnon.
I'm very familiar to this kind of language of before and after.
They're waiting for the big payday.
So, I think this brings us to two topics I want to broach.
One of them we don't really have to dive deep because it's readily apparent.
But there are just basically two, I don't know, two factors to these comments.
One is just the obvious bloodlust.
Just the obvious bloodlust within these communities.
Aimed at political elites, not necessarily who aren't necessarily undeserving targets of, you know, your ire, but just for the weirdest reasons.
Yeah.
Wait, wait, wait.
Are we not going to go through the rest?
Because this is some of the most disturbing shit I've ever read in my life.
We'll go through the rest.
This is just where I want to broach these two overarching themes.
Okay, I'm sorry.
My God, what you've prepared today.
These comments are just amazing.
Sorry, go on.
That's okay.
Targeting, you know, having this insatiable desire to torture Hillary Clinton, to like make Hillary Clinton's daughter torture her, is just a very, I don't know, a very bizarre outlet for your rage.
It's like Hillary Clinton, or probably even the Clinton administration, has never done anything to these people personally.
Like maybe your job got outsourced, Which sucks a lot, don't get me wrong.
But other than that, like, it seems like larger issues are at play, and you've just fallen into this crowd of people who are directing all this anger at very specific politicians, and sure, why not?
Yeah, run with it.
The second thing I think is very interesting about About this movement is just the obvious contradiction in the ideology because it's an ideology that supposes correctly that our institutions, our governments, are rotten to the core, filled with elites who have achieved their success through immoral means.
Now the particulars are, you know, up for debate.
The other part of this is that now that Donald Trump is in charge, he will somehow be able to wield these institutions against these infiltrators who we've been led to believe are nothing but a large swamp and incapable of acting on the behalf of the American citizen.
Yeah.
He's gonna finally disinfect the world of anyone who disagrees with these people.
Yeah, just the idea that now that this one guy is president, he's going to be able to effectively wield justice where it was impossible before.
Yeah, I mean, I think they're just waiting for his version of the final solution.
I think so too, but I think it's, it's like indicative, you know, this is something we've talked about on the show before, but I think it's indicative of just like, The realization that these institutions are rotten.
Oh yeah.
There's such a nihilism that I would say just comes by default with that realization.
There's a hopelessness.
Absolutely.
Because how do you challenge that?
How do you root out a whole system that's being governed by people that are far wealthier, far more powerful than you, and just totally removed from any sort of direct democracy or direct action?
Um, and so the idea that one man will be able to just fix it all, I can see how that would be incredibly appealing.
Totally.
Because the only other alternative is just a mass movement, and that's not going to happen with these people anytime soon.
There's no politically viable alternative.
I mean, no one's offering them something as interesting on the Democratic side, and because they are completely unable to fucking interact with policy in a meaningful way and offer material solutions to these people, they're being... they're literally being... The fascist show is better than theirs.
Yep, totally.
What's most interesting about stuff like that is they're not like... they're also...
Telling them that you don't actually want that help.
Like, that's one of the things too, it's... Yeah, no, we can do all the programs and people will sit there and say like, no, I don't want it.
You know, like, I know people that are very, very proud of the fact they've never used food stamps, even though I was like, hey, like, it's, it's cool, like, I think you'll be very satisfied with it, um, it would really help you out, but they're like, no, fuck that, no handouts.
And it's like, oh, okay, I get it, that's what, that's how we're taught to be, you know, so that's, that's a thing to, we can fix it, but they don't want the help, they want, they want everyone to get it on their own.
Yeah, I, I think, um, this is like their own version of direct action.
Yeah, I think they realize that direct action is the only solution to this problem.
Now, they're not doing direct action, except for our boy who is currently awaiting his trial for killing that mob boss.
They're not- Yeah, he's the ultimate DSA organizer, you know?
You love to pass that motion to go and kill a mob boss in his own driveway.
But I think they fundamentally realized that, like, the only way to, you know, dissolve this system is not through normal political or electoral means.
Now, I wouldn't say the only way to dissolve it is by electing a guy who's gonna secretly kill your opponents, either.
Yeah.
But I think that that's, you know, a sort of, I don't know, a nascent understanding of real politics.
Yeah, absolutely.
It's hopeless.
Let's get into this next comment.
Jimmy C. Mitchell says about the death penalty, Jesus Christ allowed it to be done to the criminals who were crucified with them.
So, it is just.
And then Milton Christensen replies, and thousands more.
He will sort them out in heaven.
Yeah, execute thy neighbor, one of the, uh, the 11th Commandment.
So yeah, I will, uh, you know, extradite thy neighbor to Gitmo and fucking hang him in the gallows.
Again, just, uh, yeah, death cult shit.
Like, go ahead.
It just shows you how fucking, like, dumb Jesus was.
Like, hey man, you could've, you could've, like, I mean, he faked it, so I guess it's kind of shitty to let his, like, homies next to him get killed.
You know, he was doing some like David Blaine shit and he was like, well, you guys got to go along with it because that's part of the show.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You're the dove that gets smashed under the collapsible trap.
Sorry, buddy.
Jesus was just the Judas to the Jewish people.
Exactly.
I love this because it's, like, this explanation of, like, no, Jesus wants everybody to die.
That's good, actually.
A, because, you know, it absolves you of just any sort of culpability with the problem of evil in the world, you know.
Well, the culpability of the evil that, you know, is perpetuated by humans, but also the Philosophical notion of the problem of evil, you know?
If bad things happen to good people, how does God exist?
And you mentioned this problem of evil to Jimmy C. Mitchell, and he says, what problem?
That's good, actually.
Jesus wanted that.
This is part of the whole thing.
I mean, also, the thing about being a Christian is to be Christ-like, and that shouldn't stop in life.
You should also be Christ-like in death.
So you should try to be executed.
Yeah, but I mean, these people are like John Wick, right?
Someone killed their fucking dog.
Let's go.
Let's go.
It's time.
It's no more Mr. Nice Guy.
These guys are all that scene in the movie, where the good guy stops being moral and finally admits you have to fucking mow down the bad guys.
They were raised on those movies.
Yeah, Lord help me, I'm back on my bullshit.
But like, they really mean Lord help me, because you know that this is good.
Yeah, Lord help me, I'm back on that Gatling gun in my life.
Good guy comments.
Put it on big screen.
So put the executions on big screen.
But the sads of that is, so sads is like, is like internet lingo for, uh, I don't know the sad part, like tisads.
But tisads of that is scripture said they will do the same to the two prophets of God and the whole world will see.
He's like, put it on big screen, but don't use motion smoothing.
That is abhorrent.
Can you imagine being so internet that your name is Good Guy?
No, no, no, I'm a good guy.
So yeah, he's brushing up against the problem of state-sanctioned executions that, hey, what happens if they kill somebody who's innocent?
Like, I don't know, our fucking God?
But he still wants to see it on the big screen.
But hey, there's an off chance we might kill the second coming of Christ.
Put it up on the Jumbotron!
Let's see this thing in the entire stadium.
But we need to kill the second coming of Christ.
That's the whole thing.
I don't know if that's what happens in the second coming.
Oh man, that totally fucked up my everything.
I thought we were supposed to kill him as soon as possible, which is why I'm so pro-abortion.
Oh man, I was just trying to expedite this shit.
I'm glad I said something.
Yeah, okay, my bad, my bad.
Homeschool Mama says... She's just inherently amazing, right there.
Homeschool Mama is going to weigh in on the should we mass-execute or not.
Homeschool Mama says, Failure to use capital punishment leads to overcrowding of prisons and results in a cascade of leniency that betrays victims and emboldens more, parenthesis, primarily men to commit atrocities with relative impunity.
Put down murderers, rapists, and terrorists like the rabid dogs they are.
Oh, it's weird that there was like a good point in that somewhere.
Yeah, there kind of was, yeah.
It's very weird, and it's even weirder that this comment has 114 upvotes, where she explicitly calls out men as the primary perpetrators of atrocities in this country.
Well, yeah, all the other mamas were responding.
This didn't have any well actually responses.
This didn't have any what about men or hashtag men to responses.
So I think the way you avoid being harassed online, ladies, is you can just say men are trash and we should execute them via the federal death penalty.
Yes, capital punishment is the answer for trash men.
It outweighs the misandry, I think.
Being pro-death penalty is an ultimate way to prove that you're not a feminist.
Absolutely.
So I want to go back to the beginning.
The first clause here, failure to use capital punishment leads to overcrowding of prisons.
Number one issue.
There's like fucking ten people in a state executed every three years.
Like, you think you're gonna make a dent in this giant prison industrial system by executing the ten guys?
Just looking at the fucking prison industrial complex that is this country and saying, damn, this sucks.
We need to kill them.
Yep.
Need to execute him.
And this is not, this is not a lone idea.
The very next comment expresses a similar idea, but I just, I love this.
Just like you're going to a meeting about, you know, you're going to an activist meeting or a talk about prison overcrowding and the problem with prisons and you're shocked to learn that they're talking about arresting less people.
Oh, oh wait!
What?
You know we can make this faster, right?
We can really expedite things here.
I don't understand why we're not, what?
When you talked about releasing prisoners, I thought you meant the sweet release of death.
Yeah.
We should only execute people who were caught with two grams of sativa.
Indica's fine, but sativa's just, yeah, anxiety-inducing.
Yeah, that's that shit that makes you go crazy.
Okay, Curtis King says, Who needs prison reformation if you have a strong death penalty system?
Empty the jails and fill the graves is much better than releasing felons to the street to reoffend.
Horrifying.
Horrifying.
Something I don't even think- Like, what part?
Was it fill the graves?
Was it fill the graves?
It was that part.
It was empty the jails and fill the graves.
Holy shit!
I don't even think- I mean, I'm not an expert.
I don't even think Hitler said something like this.
Yeah, this is a little much.
This is like, not even something a Dickensian villain would say.
And it's also, like, just for felons in general.
Like, I don't think people know what a felon is.
Tell us.
You know, no, I'm saying, like, I think they think, like, anybody who's a felon must have, like, murdered a family and puppies.
Yeah.
That's true.
And then when you explain to them, like, oh, no, um, actually you can get a felony just by, you know, uh, evading taxes, they're like, okay, nevermind.
That seems a little harsh and cruel.
Yeah.
Then you explain that it's actually something that they do on a regular basis but don't get caught doing.
Um, Empty the Jails and Fill the Graves.
Like, I'm just picturing a cartoon orc in wraparound Oakleys and like a baseball polo chanting, uh, Empty Jails and Fill the Graves!
Kill the teens who misbehave!
Yeah, that's right.
This is cartoonish.
Yeah, it is.
It's insane.
It would be like a song in the Hobbit animated movie, but it's being just, I don't know, soberly typed out by a small business owner on his keyboard while his employees are running the bait and tackle shop.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Whose avatar is an adorable cat.
Just a sweet cat.
Yeah, well, cat lives matter.
Well, they get executed nine times.
And you can't hang them because they always land on their feet, you know.
Deanna Knox says, can we submit lists?
No, I will block you if you put me on a list.
Just like the most childish response to executive order to execute people.
And her photo, her avi is a fucking little baby child.
A little toddler.
Can I submit lists?
Like, this is what I want for Christmas.
Can we submit lists for the mass execution of prisoners posted from an account with my toddler front and center?
Jesus fucking Christ.
I like to imagine DJ no request memes, but replaced with a pallbearer instead.
With executioner instead.
Hey, no requests, no requests.
We don't have that, no.
We're only killing what we're killing tonight.
I got it already planned out.
It's a set list, motherfucker.
Back off.
Can we submit lists?
Reminds me of that scene in Frailty.
Have you guys seen Frailty?
No.
Frailty is a great late 90s horror movie about Bill Paxton and his sons executing demons.
Uh, they've been told by God, by an angel specifically, that there are demons among them taking the form of humans that must be executed.
It's a very good movie, and it does something that I don't think I've ever seen any other horror movie do plot-wise, and I would love it if more horror movies had this ending, so go watch that movie if you haven't already.
But there's a scene in Frailty where the youngest son gives a note to his dad, and he says, oh, I found a demon.
And Bill Paxton reads it and says, Now isn't this just the name of that kid who bullies you at school?
Yep.
And the kid says, oh no, he's a demon, the angel told me.
And Bill Paxton is like, now listen, son, we only execute demons.
What you're talking about would be murder.
Right.
And I'm just picturing, like, Deanna submitting her list to, I don't know, the executioner, and the executioner opening up the paper and saying, like, Deanna, isn't this just the name of that McDonald's manager you're always posting about?
He's a demon.
Q told me he was a demon.
Demon rat.
It's just a list.
It's a list of her entire family, and at the end, just her.
It's just a list of service workers and, like, that bitch Mary from accounting, you know?
Yeah, anything she can find on Yelp.
Anything she can find on Yelp, she calls a fatwa on.
That's one way you can defoo, is just make a list.
That's right.
Get rid of, yeah, all the adults, all the elders.
Finally, our last comment.
Similar tone.
Sheepdog says, local citizens should be allowed to hang the SOBs as soon as they are found guilty, including truck thieves.
We will even provide the rope.
That got real specific.
Why did they take my truck last Tuesday?
Anyways, back to this group.
Listen, I think this is a great idea.
Federal death sentences, executions, that's great.
We should also include e-girls who actually have boyfriends on the side.
Dude, truck thief is so great because really you just see Bullock from fucking, uh, from fucking Deadwood, you know, just being like, we will execute any truck thieves in the middle of town.
Like truck is just the new, new horse for these guys, but they haven't really lost the spirit of the, of the wild west.
Well, it sucks.
It sucks especially for Sheepdog.
Not only did he get his truck stolen, but he got kicked out of the Silverado Nation Facebook group when it was revealed.
It hurts.
It really stings.
He got excommunicated.
Know the rules.
Gotta have a Silverado.
He knows what it's like to be deported from the Silverado Nation.
This is our chance to appeal to him.
We can racolize him.
The Pope of Truck Nuts is excommunicating you.
Okay, that's the episode.
Thanks so much for listening, folks.
And hey, thanks to our special guest, Julian.
Julian is, as we mentioned before, from the QAnon Anonymous podcast.
You want to tell us a little bit about it?
Sure, yeah, I mean it's kind of started as a podcast covering this far-right conspiracy theory, and it has evolved into a little bit of a mix of things.
We do some radio plays that are kind of a mix between comedic and kind of skewering late 90s movies and stuff like that, but primarily we cover the QAnon right-wing conspiracy and then provide some historical context for it and, you know, I guess
You can find us at QAnon Anonymous on Twitter and basically on anywhere you listen to podcasts.
Thank you so much for having me on, you guys.
You got a great podcast going.
This was really fun.
