Welcome, listener, to Chapter 203 of the QAnon Anonymous Podcast, a big, hunking heap of QAnon news episode.
As always, we are your hosts, Jake Rokitansky, Julian Fields, and Travis View.
This week, we're going to go over a set of things that range from tragic to absurd to predictable.
We'll cover a recent murder linked to QAnon, the storming of a Dairy Queen, which for the international audience is a fast food place, the FBI intercepting MyPillow's Mike Lindell at a Hardee's, which is also another fast food place.
And the fizzling out of the Durham investigation, which Q followers had hoped and were led to believe would produce arrests.
Obviously, it sucks for all of us that reality is now written by Jake himself and that we all exist as figments and extensions of his imagination, but I personally just hope he starts writing more joyful stories where I'm still in my early 30s, his podcast does not exist, and my dick works.
Now, because Travis wrote this episode, he won't be starting with jokes like me.
He's going to start with the grim stuff.
Well, yeah, I think it's really important to cover, I mean, what really, I mean, got me interested in QAnon is the realization that it's becoming increasingly popular and increasingly dangerous.
So I think it's important to start with the continuing damage that these conspiracy theories are doing.
And the first one is another QAnon connected killing.
And Alex Kaplan over at Media Matters said that this was the seventh to date.
I remember back in 2019, we were talking about the case of Anthony Comello, who was like the first QAnon killer.
And that was crazy to me, but it just hasn't stopped since.
So this latest act of violence occurred in the town of Walled Lake, Michigan.
The Sheriff's Office say that they were informed of the incident after a 911 call placed at 4.11am on the morning of September 11th.
In that call, a 25-year-old woman stated that she had just been shot by her father.
Officers arrived at the scene and were fired upon by a Remington pump-action shotgun wielded by a 53-year-old man named Robert Lannis.
a sheriff's deputy returned fire, killing Lannis.
The woman who was shot was taken to the hospital where she is currently in stable condition.
Inside the home, officers discovered the body of the wife of Robert Lannis, who was shot dead.
The family dog was also shot dead.
Mere hours after this incident, and before it was reported by the local news media,
the other daughter of Robert Lannis, Rebecca Lannis, made a post on the QAnon Casualties subreddit
explaining what happened.
That post is headlined "My QDad snapped and killed my family this morning."
And here's what it says.
Yep, the internet ruined him.
Growing up, my parents were extremely loving and happy people.
I always had a special bond with both my parents.
In 2020, after Trump lost, my dad started going down the Q rabbit hole.
He kept reading conspiracy theories about the stolen election, Trump, vaccines, etc.
He always said he wanted to keep us safe and healthy.
It kept getting worse and he verbally snapped at us a few times.
Nothing physical though.
He never got physical with anybody.
Well, at around 4 a.m.
on September 11th, he had had an argument with my mother, and he decided to take our guns and shoot her, my dog, and my sister.
My mother succumbed to her wounds, and my sister is in the hospital right now.
My dad also fired back at the cops, and they killed him.
I'm shocked, and I don't even know what to say.
Fuck you, QAnon.
I hope the FBI tightens its grip on you, and that your lackeys rot in prison, and hell, for poisoning so many people.
Really horrible stuff.
Yeah, unspeakably horrible.
In an interview that Rebecca Landis did with Will Sommer of the Daily Beast, she said that her father started going down the QAnon rabbit hole after Trump lost the election in 2020.
And I think that's kind of an interesting detail because it means that he got into these QAnon conspiracy theories after basically all the drops were already posted.
It's been going for a while.
And proven wrong.
It seems like he really got radicalized by Stop the Steal stuff.
Yeah.
All those motherfuckers.
All those smirking motherfuckers.
Is aggravating.
You know, what's really sad about this is that, you know, for these motherfuckers, it's just another political machination or whatever, you know, Q believes it is.
But the reality is that there's a lot of people out there suffering from anything from mental illness to, you know, kind of like, Poverty, loss of job, deaths in the family due to COVID.
There's all these incredibly vulnerable minds right now in America, and when they go off the deep end, these motherfuckers are there to feed their craziest fantasies.
Their most bloodthirsty revenge fantasies, but also to feed them fake bullshit that's going to make them angrier and angrier and believe that there's this true massive injustice happening.
You know, obviously there are massive injustices happening, but these are not them.
You know, Donald Trump fucking losing the election is not them.
Babies being consumed for their adrenochrome is not them.
None of these things are real.
And I think it's basically, you know, creating a situation in which, you know, there's like a kind of Angry thing to latch onto for people who are frustrated perhaps by other things and end up in a poor, you know, mental health state.
And that is so fucking dark and grim and I hope all these motherfuckers look down at their hands and see blood because it's on them.
Yeah, this is the only thing that's always shocked me, is the degree to which the people who are pushing this stuff, like knowingly, the people who are spreading this information because it's part of political gain, or they think it's part of their information warfare, or whatever, they really don't care about the human toll.
The wake of broken lives and deaths and tragedy, it leaves us awake.
They can excuse all of that because they think, because they imagine that whatever they're doing is so just.
It's just horrifying cruelty.
And obviously, you know, this is an extremely tragic and violent case, but there are thousands, if not hundreds of thousands more out there who are just completely alienated from their families and maybe they'll never move to violence, but their life is in tatters and they're kind of like a shell of their former selves.
So I really hope that the people out there who are pushing this bullshit, um, yeah, well, enough said.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's fucked up because it's like, yeah, this has been happening.
This has been going on for, you know, four plus years.
So it's like, is anybody going to be held accountable in any sort of way for, you know, what this has done to, you know, so many families across the United States and in other parts of the world?
It's just broken window policy for fucking corruption and politicians waging useless wars.
Where is the stop the small crimes so that the big crimes don't happen?
Because we are so out of hand at this point, and the human misery generated by the lack of accountability in this country means that, yeah, this is like small potatoes in terms of lack of accountability, but it is the result of just everybody getting away with everything for so fucking long at the top.
You know?
Meanwhile, if you're at the bottom, oh, you're in fucking jail.
Like, the incarceration rate shows that there is no level of kind of forgiveness and getting away with it for petty crime.
And yet, of course, the news is fixated on this bullshit.
All you hear now is about how these petty crimes are happening everywhere and the American cities are unsafe.
Fuck you!
Fuck you!
Where is the fucking jail sentences and fucking accountability and ruining of lives for these motherfuckers at the top who've been getting away with this shit for decades, years, eating away at people's trust and understanding of reality?
Yeah, to them, a case like this murder is like an unpleasant side effect of like, you know, what they believe is part of their greater good or the greater agenda.
You know, it's like this QAnon shit is not hard to find anymore.
It's all, you know, if you are on any social media platform, if you are following anybody political on the right, you are eventually going to stumble upon somebody who is either parroting QAnon talking points or they are linking you to somebody who is a further right conspiracist influencer.
I mean, and you know, I know we've talked about this ad nauseum, but it's like you have these algorithms that are pushing people towards it as well.
So if you have a group of people who are upset or they're angry or they're looking for a place to re-up their rage, it is being, like, handed to them, you know, on a silver platter.
And all of these circumstances, you know, this has been going on.
This is just another notch on the belt of a family completely destroyed by right-wing conspiracism, I think that collateral damage is such a useful way to think of where the United States is at this point.
Because everybody wants what they want, and they don't give a shit about the collateral damage.
Whether it's civilian lives lost in useless military incursions, or people attacked because They, you know, the right wanted to spread fucking hatred about a specific, like, subgroup of people, you know, leading into the election.
You know, just the constant, unending, grotesque violence rained down upon people in this country has completely numbed us all to anything.
I mean, I think we really are kind of becoming the walking dead.
And like this kind of stuff and the stuff we cover, if anything, is marginalia.
Like does it represent the macro?
Yes, of course.
But it just makes me furious about what we accept in this country.
Just the toll of no health insurance for people, the toll of no support for families falling
into poverty, the toll, obviously, of endless military conquest, and the toll of no accountability
for politicians, people at the top, people who are so rich that are just allowed to spread
the biggest...
Garbage lies you've ever fucking heard and sometimes sending us to war on the back of them, sometimes just poisoning people's minds because they need to win a specific election, sometimes just getting back at their perceived enemies.
Just madness.
Madness.
Madness.
It makes me furious.
Rebecca Lannis, the woman who made that Reddit post, made a GoFundMe to help with her sister's medical bills and to help her get back on her feet.
And we'll go ahead and throw that link in the show notes for anyone who wants to help them out.
It's a horrific recent incident related to conspiracist violence, but it's not the only one.
There was another incident that was reported by David Gilbert at Vice News.
In Pennsylvania, a 61-year-old man named Jan Stovovy stormed a Dairy Queen with a loaded handgun.
During the incident, he claimed he was going to, quote, kill all the Democrats because Trump was still president.
When police confronted him, he claimed he talked to God and was a prophet who was working undercover with the Pennsylvania State Police on a drug sting operation.
He also told police officers that he was working to restore Trump as president, according to an affidavit that was reviewed by the local TV station WTAJ.
A little inconsistent, you know?
Trump is simultaneously president and he's going to restore Trump as president.
Why start at a Dairy Queen?
I mean, that's the biggest tragedy here, is like, nothing connects!
None of the perceptions that these people have connect to anything!
We're just floating through this miasma of bullshit!
Like, we have to deal with a story that's legit, awful, and insane, and it's like, oh, Dairy Queen.
Oh, God, the storming of a Dairy Queen.
How are we supposed to take any of it seriously?
All right.
Yeah, I mean, so Stuovio, he was arrested and police found two more loaded handguns in his car along with 62 rounds of ammo.
He's facing like multiple felony charges, including making terroristic threats and carrying a concealed firearm without a license.
The other element is that you were talking about how absurd this is.
He did this action while wearing a clown wig.
So that was reported.
He was wearing a clown wig while it was going on.
Okay.
I'm sorry for laughing, but what the fuck do we even cover on this podcast?
This isn't even marginal.
This shit is just every day in the news in America now.
It's like, what the fuck is going on?
Stilwovie has a Facebook page and provides some more insight into his conspiracist thinking.
He posted some QAnon-linked videos referencing the Great Awakening and the Deep State plots to deny Trump the presidency.
He also shared posts from a number of high-profile figures within the QAnon community, like former Trump lawyer Lin Wood.
What's really interesting is on his Facebook page, he also posted two letters from two different pastors asking Suovi to stop attending their churches due to his disturbing behavior.
One of these letters from one of these pastors says, "Over the past few weeks, your outbursts
and elevated actions, along with other conversations, warrant this letter."
Dude.
Dude.
Another letter says, "Your clown costume and full makeup frightened many of our congregants.
We cannot allow you to return to church dressed in costume again."
So he went full Joker.
This is...
I don't know what to say.
I don't know what to say.
What the fuck, Travis?
It's not...
Obviously, it's not funny, but why does it have to have funny elements?
It makes it worse.
Because the whole thing is predicated on stupidity.
It's stupid that the internet is a place where something like QAnon could even thrive.
It's stupid that the former president of the United States and many people in his cabinet and closed circle then boosted this stupid thing that was allowed to grow on the internet.
It's just, it's birthed, it's a puddle of mosquito eggs in a swamp and it's just, you know, it's bubbling up and biting people and it's itching.
Just popcorn kernels just fucking going off as the oil heats under the entire thing.
And you know what?
I was wrong.
There is a social safety net in America.
If you're fucking mentally ill and going off the deep end, there's a perfect- in fact, it's the spiderweb.
You fall into it, you're caught in it, and it connects out to like a million insane things that thousands and tens of thousands of people will support you in your belief of.
And you go completely insane.
A clown!
He dressed as a clown!
He went to church as a clown!
Oh!
My head!
He stormed a Dairy Queen!
Oh!
Now, while all of this is going on, Trump continues to amplify QAnon accounts on the social media network Truth Social.
This includes a recent retruthing of an image of Donald Trump wearing a Q-pin and the text, the storm is coming, where we go one, we go all.
So, I mean, this is like, I think even more explicit than anything he sort of amplified when he still has a Twitter account.
And he has to.
He has to, because these are the only people who fervently support him anymore.
Sorry, if you were a non-Q-pilled Republican, the current version of the Democrats aren't all that bad.
You know what I mean?
Who else does Donald Trump have to lean on for that undying support anymore?
Yeah, just be a nice Reaganite and join the Democratic Party.
Or, I guess, get dressed as a fucking clown!
Yeah, here are your fucking choices.
Yeah, you can become a nice Reaganite and, you know, reach across the aisle, or you can be dressed as a clown, scaring your church members, and then eventually doing ISIS in a fucking Dairy Queen.
Other options?
Nothing!
There's nothing else!
We made sure of it!
There's no other options, Jake!
I'm losing my mind!
Of course, QAnon followers are very happy that, you know, that Trump is being so open about the support of QAnon, at least QAnon content on Truth Social.
The man formerly known as QAnon John said this on Telegram.
Just in case it wasn't abundantly clear at this point, President Trump himself is making it undeniable that he is 100% aligning with the Q operation.
The Q operation, by the way, is a pair of chopsticks they shove up your nose and scramble your frontal lobe with.
That's the Q operation.
And everyone's getting it!
Yeah, it's very popular in the 50s and in the types of hospitals that are shut down now.
But it's back.
Now, the actual home of Q, 8Qoon, has been having some uptime problems recently.
This seems to be related to the fact that one of Jim Watkins' service providers, VanWattec, took on Kiwi Farms, the harassment site, as a client.
They're maybe a little bit too overloaded to handle both 8Qoon and Kiwi Farms, but 8Qoon owner Jim Watkins referenced these problems during a live stream that was noticed by Karma 2022.
Acoon's been having some problems for a while, and so I'm doing some upgrades and trying to fix things, and hopefully we'll be back online better than ever shortly.
And I expect lots of problems over the course of time, until at least January.
We wouldn't be such a target if we weren't important.
We're important for the right reasons.
Things have become good against evil these days, so be on the good guy's side.
Do what you can.
And we'll try to be back up sometime today.
Be on the good guy's side, he says, as he whacks his microphone with his elbow.
It's like, it's incredible that he thinks of 8kun as anything but a port-o-potty that is overflowing so that people who need to take a shit are just sitting in shit when they try to sit down.
Fuck you, Jim.
Yeah.
He says that, I mean, he claims that 8kun will continue to have problems until January.
It seems, um, I mean, I don't know.
You know, 8kun, 8chan has been down a couple times before, but that's a long time for an outage.
God, if you're out there, strike this man with lightning.
Yeah.
Smite this man, please.
Now, while all that is happening, there's actually some news about the John Durham investigation.
So if you recall, this was the investigation into the investigation into Trump regarding Russian interference.
And a lot of QAnon followers put a lot of stock in it.
In fact, the second to last Q drop in 2020 was just a single word, Durham.
There's this big belief that John Durham's going to get to the bottom of all the corruption that led poor Donald Trump being unjustly investigated for so long.
And they thought that basically this would lead to Durham going all the way to the top.
They discovered that Comey and Obama were all in on it, and they were all collaborated, and Durham was going to bring them down.
But according to a recent New York Times report, it's actually kind of going to end with a whimper.
So here's what it says.
Mr. Durham appears to be winding down his three-year inquiry without anything close to the results Mr. Trump was seeking.
The grand jury that Mr. Durham has recently used to hear evidence has expired, and while he could convene another, there are currently no plans to do so, three people familiar with the matter said.
Mr. Durham and his team are working to complete a final report by the end of the year, they said, and one of the lead prosecutors on his team is leaving for a job with a prominent law firm.
Off to bigger and better pastures.
Over the course of his inquiry, Mr. Durham has developed cases against two people accused of lying to the FBI in relation to outside efforts to investigate purported Trump-Russia ties, but he has not charged any conspiracy or put any high-level officials on trial.
I mean, what is there to say?
A fucking Russian doll of stupid investigations.
You know, I got to admit, I'm a little surprised.
I thought that at the very least, because you know, Durham was kind of made out to be this, you know, Both in different ways by the right and the left.
The right was like, oh, he's going to expose everything.
And then you have your liberals that are like, oh, well, he's going to bring all these phony charges to muddy the waters and create propaganda so people can point to the trial and say, here's the evidence of the crime.
But he didn't do any of that!
He, you know, he went after two low-level, you know, lying to the FBI.
I believe both of those cases were, you know, dismissed by the court.
There was no real trial for anything.
And so he didn't—he, A, disappointment on both levels because he, A, didn't bring the, you know, the massive sweeping arrests that, you know, QAnon sort of implied that he would.
And B, he didn't create these sort of, like, circus trials, you know, to muddy the waters and cloud the mediasphere with, you know, some kangaroo court shit.
So, a failure on all levels, and boring, and nothing, and just nothing after all of that.
Yep, just tragic, then stupid, then a blank space that cannot be perceived.
This is what we bring you today.
Yet another example of reality being just as tepid and as boring and as middling as it can be compared to what the promises and the threats sort of promised.
So before we move on in this episode, I just wanted to let everybody know about our upcoming live dates.

You all are wonderful, interesting people.
There was even another Jake there.
We had the two Jakes, which was great.
That's true.
And you guys kissed on the mouth.
We did.
It was great, and I think you got a picture of that, right?
Oh, I got more than a picture.
Good, good, good, good, good.
Yeah, we'll be putting that out on my OnlyFans.
My Jake on Jake only fans where I cover all Jake on Jake activity.
Anyways, come out.
It would be great to see all of you.
Yes, we can't wait.
Now, one thing I do want to say is that all of this show is grim and filled with both empty promises and empty threats and kernels of madness popping off on a micro level.
Yeah, it's the macro threats that are ridiculous, and then the micro threats are basically just people going insane and either growing violent or listless.
But the live show is not going to be anything like that.
We're trying to bring you a much more fun topic.
about reptilians and we also cover some local, you know, kind of conspiracy stuff usually.
And Jake has been working on a trilogy of stories, the first of which will be coming out soon on the podcast
now that we're done performing it.
But yeah, come check us out and, you know, let's hang out.
We put Jake in a cage and lower him into the fans after the show.
Which I love, I requested that actually.
Exactly. - It's in my rider.
He'll shake hands and we've muzzled him.
So he cannot bite.
The cage is actually for you.
Your protection.
Alright, let's move along with this madness, Travis.
Tell us what's next on this buffet of oddities and dog shit.
So, well, the Durham investigation is winding down.
It seems as though that the investigation into Trump's associates is heating up.
Oh, the walls are closing!
The walls are closing in!
I mean, they kind of are.
I mean... This time, this time we're going to get them.
Yeah, we'll see.
It was reported that about 40 subpoenas were issued to associates of President Trump.
Most notably was the one issued to Mike Lindell.
So, FBI agents recently seized the phone of pillow entrepreneur and conspiracy theory spreader Mike Lindell.
This was reportedly done as part of a federal investigation into an alleged breach of voting machines in Colorado.
Agents served Lindell with a search warrant.
And a grand jury subpoena in the drive-thru area of a Hardee's restaurant in Mankato, Minnesota.
Yes, hello.
I would like one superstar with cheese, one order of onion rings with a side of ranch, please.
Actually, we know what he ordered, and it was the... Yeah, thanks to the intrepid reporting of Daily Beast reporter Zachary Petrizzo, we know that his order was a mushroom Swiss cheeseburger and a chocolate milkshake.
At which point the person who was supposed to hand him the bag was in an FBI suit and popped out the fucking drive-thru window and said, you've been served!
You're right, you're right.
The way he did it, he opened up his Hardee's bag, reached in, pulled out a document, and then the drive-thru person said, you've been served.
He's like, wait a minute, I asked for the Mushroom Swiss, not any of these paperclip papers together with my name all over them.
He opens it, it's like obviously like oil stained and then he's like, aww, but then he looks under it and all the food is there and he's like, ah, okay.
Yeah, he tosses it aside.
I'll deal with those later.
Right now, I can't wait to take a bite of this Mushroom Swiss.
Not a bad choice, I gotta say.
I wouldn't go with the chocolate milkshake with it.
I think a nice cold Coke would go well with the Mushroom Swiss burger, but that's just me.
All of this just sounds like a recipe for diarrhea to me.
It's nuts.
You know, out of curiosity, I checked out the dining options in that town of Mankato because, you know, Mike Lindell's reportedly worth like nine figures.
Yeah, he could eat anywhere.
For example, there's a well-reviewed steakhouse called No.
4 American Bar and Kitchen where he could have ordered a prime beef filet covered in sautéed mushrooms and a mile-high chocolate cream cake.
That sounds very nice.
But he went with the fast food.
He really is a regular guy who just got filthy rich.
Yeah, he's just another Jake, man.
And this country is full of them, Travis.
We don't give a shit about your fucking steak dining options.
What are you, Yelp for rich people?
Get real, Travis.
The last thing that Mike Lindell did with his phone before it was seized by federal agents was look up restaurants near me and he saw he saw the number four steakhouse with the with the mushroom sirloin and then he saw Hardee's and went oh that Hardee's looks good.
He was like sort by rating and pressed it twice.
He's like this is the lowest rated place.
It was like, Hardee's, Hardee's, uh, yo, yeah, this is the, uh, Midwest version of, uh, Carl's Jr.
Which is true.
Hardee's, Carl's Jr., same, same thing.
Okay.
Good.
Good to know.
Right?
Travis?
Yes.
Verify?
No, it's true.
Fact check?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's true.
Even I know that's true.
But my real question is, like, why the hell the parking lot of a Hardee's and not, like, at his home?
And the Fed's just trailing him everywhere, and then when he pulled off to get lunch, like, okay, now's our opportunity.
Let's get the phone.
Mm-hmm.
Yes.
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if the feds were like, let's do this in the most embarrassing place because that's going to be great news.
And then with the great news also comes, you know, the information that we're looking into this guy.
Yeah, they could have done it while he was, like, taking a shit or something.
Yeah.
And it's like, Mike Lindell served with his pants down at the gas station.
Yeah.
I'm sure.
I'm sure it was, like, the most opportune place.
His car was stopped.
It also would have been embarrassing for him.
It'd be a funny news story.
Mike Lindell's kind of a funny character, so this fits that he's at a fast food joint.
You know, at the drive-thru window, ordering a burger.
You know, it all lines up.
Or the FBI also wanted to eat at Hardee's and they're like, this is our chance!
Yeah, that's another good point.
We're both headed to Harvey's!
If I was on that FBI team in Hardee's, and we knew that the predictive GPS location was taking them to a Hardee's, I'd be like, fuck yeah, I'd get something.
Yeah, we should conduct all further field operations at fast food places and just interview whoever comes through and hopefully it'll make a decent episode.
Nothing more American than that.
We can hang out and smoke cigarettes in the... Hardee's parking lot.
Dumpster area.
Yeah, of course.
Loitering, my favorite crime.
So I have a clip here of Mike Lindell himself describing the incident.
The FBI, you're going to hear this and you're probably already hearing it in the news.
The FBI came after me and took my phone.
They surrounded me at a Hardee's and took my phone that I run all my business, everything with.
They could have just, what we've done is weaponize the FBI.
It's disgusting.
I don't have a computer.
Everything I did off that phone, everything was on there.
And they told me not to tell anybody.
Here's an order.
Don't tell anybody.
Okay, I won't.
Oh yeah.
You fucking idiot.
He's holding up the order. Oh my god.
Oh my god.
And way to bury the lead here, by the way, which is that Mike Lindell does not have a computer.
Also, there's a Christian radio on in the background.
It's like, goddamn, imagine having such a low attention span that you're like, listen, I'm going to go against the FBI orders and record a video, but I cannot possibly pause this radio because I need my head to be filled with static from 800 sources.
Otherwise, I'm not slowly becoming schizophrenic.
Now, what I thought was really wild, I think a weird side of our dystopia, is that the Hardee's social media team, they went right to work and they did a promo that was inspired by this incident.
So the Hardee's Twitter account said, if you still have a phone, get a free breakfast biscuit in our app for MyRewards members.
Type in Hardee's at MyPillow.com for 20% off.
This is based on my recent arrest at Hardee's.
Yeah, it's like, who gives a shit anymore?
It's just the total collapse of entertainment and politics and the legal system and commerce.
Everything is just the same.
Yes, because you have the nihilistic Zoomers who are running the social media accounts.
That's a good tweet.
That tweet went pretty funny.
Travis, you just described the four walls of American society, and yes, the house has collapsed.
All the walls are now flat on top of each other.
Now, this incident is kind of intriguing to me because it concerns actions by one-time Colorado election official Tina Peters.
And if you recall, Tina Peters took sensitive voting machine information and photos and stuff that was eventually leaked to Ron Watkins and then Ron Watkins and Tina Peters both showed up at Mike Lindell's Cyber Symposium last year, which means that if the FBI is looking into Tina Peters' breach of voting system information, then they're also almost certainly looking into Ron Watkins' involvement in that incident.
And I'm not suggesting he did anything criminal, per se, but, you know, it just... I am.
The FBI is looking into an incident that Ron Watkins had some significant involvement in.
I'm suggesting he's done everything criminal.
Name one criminal thing he hasn't done.
It's also intriguing that around the same time that we're finding out about this investigation that Ron, uh, you know, has, uh, fled the country.
He's gone to a place where hardies don't exist.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Too bad, he's gonna miss out on that fucking portobello cheese.
It's gonna be called, they're gonna rename it the Lindell Special.
It's gonna come with a, you know, like a phone Happy Meal, you know, a little plastic phone.
Oh my god.
Don't speak things into existence, Jake.
We're seeing the effect of you saying anything or imagining anything or being creative.
Yeah.
Look, look what you've done to this country.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was, I was surprised that, um, literally, literally in the story for the live show, the last, the last thing you see of Mike Lindell is him trying to make one final phone call on his phone.
And, um, and then here we are a couple of days later, phone seized.
Um, you know, it wasn't an exact prediction, but spiritually it was pretty in the same ballpark.
Carpe cellulare.
Seize the phone.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, that's not the only thing that I think that Jake has spoken to existence.
Now, we've been talking about Michael Flynn on this show for many years.
In fact, back in 2019, you created a character called Florida Flynn.
Correct.
Don't remember this.
And so Florida Flynn has become real because, yeah, Flynn has basically gone to Florida in order to influence the elections there.
So like we've talked before, like a big part of Flynn's philosophy is like, you know, local action, national impact.
He encourages his fanatical followers to get involved in local community issues.
This has led to a lot of weirdness.
For example, some of the most deranged school district meetings ever captured on video.
And recently, Mike Flynn got into the local action himself by being elected to the Republican Executive Committee in Sarasota County, Florida.
Flynn discussed his election on a recent episode of the Bannon's podcast, War Room.
I am going to continue to push this message of local action, national impact, And now I want to be able to tell people when somebody says, well what are you doing specifically?
I am now part of the Republican Executive Committee for the Sarasota GOP and I also am volunteering to be a poll watcher In the upcoming elections here, particularly in this county, in the state of Florida.
Oh good.
A poll watcher?
Oh goody!
A demented ex-fucking general and head of the DIA is going to be looking over your shoulder going, you know, did you fill in the bubble correct, boy?
Sorry boy, you're only allowed to use blue or black ink.
I'm going to have to take away your ballot.
Stuff it into my undercarriage.
God dammit.
Yeah, yeah.
So he's getting, like, personally involved in overseeing elections.
This is the shit I was really worried about with, like, both him and, like, the weird True the Vote campaign, the 2000 Mule stuff.
Like, all of these people who are as just absolute conspiracists as Flint, who don't believe that the 2020 election was legitimate, take up roles overseeing election, being poll watchers.
And of course, they're going to wind up harassing voters.
It's good.
I mean, I'm really concerned about this.
How smoothly this upcoming election is going to be in November because I have a feeling that there might be more confrontations than usual at the ballot box.
I would like him to get personally involved with a very steep set of stairs and fall down them in a very cartoonish way that nonetheless and leads to his fucking brain and he is In Minecraft.
That's what you've been telling me about your Minecraft level.
That was interesting.
No!
That was a real d**k!
No, I am levying it at former General Michael Flynn.
No, no.
I want him to f**k his evil, horrible wife.
No, this man has had too much coffee.
This is all going to get bleeped.
There's no bleeping available.
I'm all out of bleeps and unfortunately we ran out last week and f**k Michael Flynn is a real thing that I want to do.
I've ordered some extra bleeps on BoobsOn.com.
Is that nword.com?
No, it's not.
No, that's also boobson.com.
I wish that I was a Sarasota citizen.
A Sarasota citizen is a good tongue twister.
So that I could personally go to the polls and beckon Mike Flynn to watch over my shoulder as I voted blue no matter who down the line.
God damn it, man.
I'm going to go and write in Hillary Clinton!
Hillary Clinton!
Hillary Clinton!
Bill Clinton!
Hillary Clinton!
George Soros!
George Soros!
Uh, the squad, uh, everybody he hates, and, and just down the line, just down the line, I wanna watch his face as I, as I fill those bubbles in very, very thoroughly.
I'm gonna fill in those bubbles with a request for an assisted suicide, uh, that I may be put out of my misery and no longer have to deal with these idiotic stories.
I would go, I would get- Also, I would like to- I would go down all the way to the bottom, and then when it says, you know, write in your candidate, I would start to write, Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, and then I'd look over my shoulder and go, oh, that was a mistake.
Erase it.
Senator Bernard Sanders.
Sorry for the mistake, General.
My bad.
I pull the trigger, the bullet enters, he is dead.
I have f***ed Mike Flynn.
I've seen the commercial for the mobile game that you're talking about.
I am talking about reality in which I am saying I am going to f*** the ex-general Michael Flynn.
Jesus Christ, Julian.
Julian's about to get nicked at a f***ing Hardee's in a couple days.
So all of that is bad news.
And but now before we go today, I want to address the strange uptick in false claims and conspiracies that I've seen from the liberal side of Twitter.
I'm not drawing a false equivalence, like there aren't people who are like, you know, raiding a Dairy Queen and with a gun and a clown wig in the name of Hillary Clinton or anything like that.
But there's a lot of weird disinformation.
So, one of the claims that got a lot of traction is that in 2002, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene auditioned in Los Angeles for the first season of American Idol under the pseudonym Stephanie Sugarman.
There was a video being passed around of Stephanie Sugarman's audition, and I have to admit, she does look a lot like a young Greene.
My name is Stephanie Sugarman.
I'm from Alabama, California.
My biggest worry right now is telling my work how I'm going to miss Monday.
Call in sick.
Sorry, boss.
Now it's time for our energetic dancer, Stephanie Sugarman.
Let's hope her boss isn't watching.
Hi!
How are you?
Great.
Good.
Okay, what do you do?
I'm in marketing for cheese.
I sell provolone and mozzarella.
If you had to recommend a cheese for Randy to put on his hamburger, what would you suggest?
Nazzotti!
Of course, you know, right off the bat, lots of problems with the claim.
Obviously, Marjorie Taylor Greene didn't work in marketing for cheese.
She worked in construction for her dad's business, and she basically lived in Georgia her entire life, so why is she auditioning in L.A.?
I don't know.
She's turning a lot of words into Swiss cheese.
Yeah.
Kill me.
You know, I thought, you know, it was like, well, I thought, well, maybe, maybe, you know, she lied about her age, and then she hid her thick Georgia accent, and she made this totally alternate sort of, like, persona for herself to audition for American Idol.
I tried looking into it, and I discovered that there is a real Stephanie Sugarman from Altaloma, California, according to public records, and I discovered that Marjorie Taylor Greene wasn't even eligible to audition for the first season of American Idol.
Since she was 27 at the time, the maximum permitted age was 24.
And again, it doesn't really make sense.
The American Idol auditions, it passed through Georgia, so it didn't even make sense for someone in Georgia to audition in LA.
Nothing about this added up.
So I tweeted about why this is bullshit, and that's why my tweets are now linked to in the American Idol wiki.
Oh, excellent.
Very important.
A huge win for you, Travis.
Yeah, I remember when this was tweeted and it was so sad because there was like a bunch of people, you know, a bunch of skeptical, you know, we love, we love our skeptical people in the replies, you know, saying like, I don't I think that's her.
I really don't.
And the original guy was like, it definitely is.
It definitely is.
And all of these people are just like, yep, that's absolutely her because they wanted it to be her so bad.
And it's like, isn't her own tomfoolery enough to make fun of her?
Why is it so important that she also embarrassed herself with a kind of eccentric audition?
That audition would have been the least offensive thing that Marjorie Taylor Greene ever did in her life.
And yet, you know, even long after it was disproven and somebody in the replies wrote like, uh, no, here's the article debunking it.
You know, the original poster was like, lol.
Yeah.
It's like the emotion, the emotion is more important than the actual information.
As long That's all we have left!
Yeah, as long as it felt good to dunk on green, it actually doesn't matter if an article came out saying that this is patently false.
Don't you know, we can reach across the aisle and hate fact checkers.
Yeah, and it did seem like there was kind of a sentiment that the party pooper Travis Fuse of the world came into the replies and ruined their fun.
I did get I did get a lot that it's like, oh, it's like people who like recognize that, like, you know, I was basically right.
Like, oh, why do you have to ruin our fun, Travis?
And that's a that's a fine reaction.
As long as you like recognize that, like, you know, that is there's really no evidence to support the claims.
If you feel disappointed, that's fine.
But, you know, it's like the problem is, is that you avoid being disappointed by sticking with your original belief because you want it to be true.
That's the real problem.
If you're doing this for fun, I just, you know, Jesus Christ, but I'm sure you can find another hobby.
Here's my thing.
A lot of these people, they think they're trying to stick it to green by embarrassing her, but really you're just digging up like a 20 year old video from a woman who has moved on, is married and is doing other things.
And maybe like, you know, thinks about the audition once in a while, you're, you're, you're basically dunking on a regular person now, you know, who's probably much more mature than she was when she did that audition.
I don't think so.
I think she's still doing dances like this and talking about cheese to her family.
Well, you don't know that for sure, Julian.
Well, I'm making the claim.
The other thing is you're right.
It's like, like, hey, you know, Greene has done a lot of, like, bizarre things.
She, for example, claimed that Hillary Clinton murdered JFK Jr.
You know, she she said she has said a lot of, like, really bizarre things that are, I think, are way more embarrassing than auditioning for American Idol.
If you're auditioning for American Idol, you're at least putting yourself out there.
You're following your dreams.
It may fall flat, but you know what?
You're giving it a good try.
Nothing wrong with that.
But, like, making all these bizarre claims on the Facebook page to, like, an audience of a couple hundred people, you know, that's a little bit stranger to me.
Yeah, why do liberals so desperately want her to be caught in this kind of embarrassing, endearing, non-fascist moment?
Why do we want to humanize this lady who has caused so much grief over the past couple of years?
It's bizarre to me.
I hope nobody finds my American Idol audition.
Yeah, Jake also had sex with a poly guy who looks like Zangief.
Huh?
Nothing.
The other big theory that seemed to rip through parts of liberal Twitter concerns the recent death of Donald Trump's ex-wife, Ivana Trump.
On July 14th, Ivana Trump died due to injuries sustained in the fall at her New York City apartment.
You know, at first there were accusations that she was killed because she knew too much, but obviously that was silly, didn't make any sense, and she was an old, frail woman.
It's tragic.
But then a weirder conspiracy theory sort of manifested, and it related to the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago to recover top secret documents.
The accusation is basically that Ivana Trump was cremated, and then Trump stuffed Ivana's casket full of these secret documents so that they could be buried and hidden.
As evidence, a lot of Twitter accounts cited the fact that the casket for Ivana Trump was carried by 10 pallbearers.
Presumably, the theory goes, because it was overloaded with heavy top secret documents instead of the body of Ivana Trump.
But were they dancing to fun music?
No dancing.
No dancing, Paul Bearers, on this one.
One person who tweeted about this claim is the former General Hospital actress Nancy Lee Gran, who said this in a tweet that got over 18,000 retweets.
Dear AtFBI, I know you don't need advice from a soap star.
End it there!
End it there!
Nope, there's more.
But having been in 10 or 10K implausible storylines in my 37 years, may I recommend digging up Ivana?
Jesus fucking Christ.
Clearly it didn't take 10 pallbearers to carry a liposuction 73-year-old who methinks was in her weight in classified docs.
Methinks.
Methinks.
Yeah, that's always a classy addition.
Methinks.
Liberals, if you're listening, look.
I appreciate the fact that I truly believe that none of you would don a clown costume and carry a loaded handgun into a Dairy Queen.
I am so happy that we are not there, and I don't think we will or could be, given that the proclivity to violence Has historically been a right-wing sort of escalation.
However, this theory is just as batshit as anything that has come out of QAnon.
You have to recognize it.
Your hatred of Donald Trump and the desire to pin these criminal mastermind sort of plots on him.
I understand it comes from your hatred and the idea that he could be capable of doing something this dastardly, but the idea that Trump hid classified documents in the casket of his dead ex-wife That is, as you have to recognize, and you have to be honest with yourself, that is just as insane as anything that has come out of the QAnon circle.
He could put them in a fire!
He could do anything!
It doesn't make any sense.
Why is that safer than just burning them?
It's like, if you want to get rid of the docs, burn them.
You don't need to, like, you know.
So the theory is that they cremated the body of Ivana Trump, but not the documents?
I get it.
You want to have fun too.
You saw the QAnon people for four years, you know, talk about, you know, JFK, you know, coming back to life as a hat salesman outside of the Trump rallies.
I get it.
You watch them have a real good time.
You want your fun too.
But we have to police each other in this.
If you have friends, you know, who are just asking questions about the potential documents buried in Ivanka's casket, you subtly, please, you have to subtly suggest that that sounds like something that a QAnon would say.
So, a couple corrections there.
JFK Jr.
and Ivana, not Ivanka.
Yeah, what did I say?
JFK and Ivanka.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, so... Maybe I'm not the best person to listen to, but pretend for a moment, just imagine in your head that everything that I just said was actually in Travis's voice, and those two pieces of information, the two names were gotten correct.
Thank you.
Yeah.
No, I totally agree with you.
Just wanted to kind of give you extra credibility by doing a little bit of whiteout over a couple of names.
I appreciate, yeah, a little bit of the whiteout, scratch out a couple of things, remove a K, add a junior, and there we go.
There we go.
There was another incident where there was a ton of wild speculation because Trump made a surprise visit to Washington, D.C., and there were lots of big accounts like, you know, CNN panelists and stuff who were speculating that he was possibly Uh, in D.C.
because he was indicted or going to be indicted doing an interview with an FBI agent or something like that.
But what wound up being is that, like, he was being involved in a, I guess, a renovation of his golf course in the area because they're preparing for an event next year.
So that was nothing either.
I think that, you know, again, I'm not making a false equivalence.
All of these are like, you know, They're like, at worst, like wildly overextended speculation, whereas like, you know, right wing conspiracy theories, they're often a pretext of violence where you say this person is a criminal pedophile or the election was stolen.
These are excuses basically to do horrifying things that and so that's so they're really not equivalent.
But I feel like there's a sense that like, oh my God, Trump may actually be hit hard with something soon.
So there's this, I don't know, people feel a little bit, they're eager.
They want to see something happen.
So they speculate maybe a little bit too far than what the evidence warrants.
But they're only, they're learning this from the people that they watch on TV.
You know, 80% of the talking head panels that you see on MSNBC or any of these sort of big media organizations is a bunch of people speculating on what this could potentially be, what this could potentially mean.
So we are being conditioned to speculate.
You know, I don't think it's necessarily the fault of the people.
We get it from these sources that are supposedly news and information, when a lot of the time it's speculation and it's opinion sort of presented as fact.
If you're waiting for the indictments, on either side.
The indictment's here!
And it's of America as the stupidest, most broken country in the goddamn world.
And to top it off, Julian and Travis, the reality of the Trump golf meeting is actually worse in a case.
It's for these live golf events or whatever that is funded and put on by Saudi Arabia.
There's plenty of shit to dig into there.
And that's right there for the plucking.
You can look up who sponsors these golf tournaments and, you know, which Saudi Arabian investors and politicians are backed behind it.
There's plenty of stuff there.
You know, just going like, oh yeah, like, oh yeah, sure, like to discuss renovations, like on a golf course with no clubs, like this is Tony Soprano.
Everybody wants to live through the television shows that have narrated our culture.
When the actual reality, like, Might be even worse than just this generalized mobster meeting on the greens, you know?
The golf tournament, by the way, ends in a putting competition in which the ball goes up a ramp, flies off the ramp, and hits two model buildings that then collapse into themselves.
Oh, boy.
You had to make it dark.
You had to make it real dark.
Yeah, right?
Yes, that is my job.
Thank you for listening to another episode of the QAnon Anonymous podcast.
When you sub, you help us stay advertising free and editorially independent.
We've got a website, QAnonAnonymous.com, where you can find links to everything we mentioned in our last little plug session.
And I think with that, I'm going to ask Travis to say the magic words and shuffle us off the mortal coil of listening to this specific episode.
Listener, until next week, may the deep dish bless you and keep you.
It's not a conspiracy, it's a fact.
And now, today's Auto Q.
I said, you know, you guys, I said, are you going to arrest me?
I said, I've been asking for you guys.
This will make international, this will make national news.
They go, no, no, we're not going to arrest you.
I'm going, well, then what do you want?
And they go, we're going to ask you some questions.
So they start asking me these questions about Colorado, about Dominion Machine,
Colorado, with Tina Peters and Doug Frank and.
They're asking you about Doug Frank?
Yeah, Doug Frank.
They go, how long have you known Doug Frank?
And I go, I met him at the Lindale, or I mean, when we filmed Absolute Interference.
First time I ever met him.
And I told the FBI guys, I said, you guys probably already know this.
I said, it's when we filmed Absolute Interference, but it was so good.
I said, we got to stop the presses and we made scientific proof.
So anyway, I started drilling them.
I go, how come you guys don't ask me questions about Dennis Montgomery's data so we can get this charade over with?
I said, I said, can you get me to the January 6th corruption?
I said, I volunteered to go there.
And they go, Mike, we're talking about Colorado.
Sam, you know, they wanted to keep me focused, right?
