SALEM, N.H. (AP) — Police have made an arrest following a 15-month-long investigation into vandalism at a group of rock configurations in New Hampshire called “America’s Stonehenge.”

Mark Russo, 51, of Swedesboro, New Jersey, has been charged with one count of felony criminal mischief, accused of defacing the stone in Salem in September 2019. A lawyer entered a not guilty plea on his behalf Tuesday.

Police said the rock tablet appeared to have been damaged by a power tool. It was carved with “WWG1WGA” and “IAMMARK.” Police said the first stands for “Where We Go One, We Go All,” a motto affiliated with the QAnon conspiracy theory.

An 18-inch (45-centimeter) tall wooden cross was found suspended between two trees, and attached to the cross were several photographs and hand-drawn images.

1. QAnuts are America's Taliban.

I suggest we brand those QAnut sayings into his forehead.

2. Nice rock work.

Bastards. I hate these defacers with a passion. Question? How old is this and who built it?

3. Mystery Hill / America's Stonehenge.....

A very interesting place to visit.


*~*~*~*~

AMERICA’S STONEHENGE OR “MYSTERY HILL” comes with more questions than answers.

Variously claimed to be a 4000-year-old megalithic astronomical complex ancient built by megalithic Native American Culture, the lost monastery wreckage of a migrant group of Irish monks, the creation of ancient Middle Eastern peoples or – by most academic archaeologists – the misinterpreted work of 18th and 19th century farmers, no one knows the origins for sure. However, the site has enough of a sordid past, outstanding questions and strong opinions about it, to leave it in a permanent state of archeological chaos.

4. That's pretty interesting.

I'd never heard of the American Stonehenge. I was expecting the story to be about what some asshole did to Carhenge out in Nebraska. https://carhenge.com/ That's a ways off the beaten path, but well worth a stop. Religious nutbags protested its "satanic" construction in the 80's, but for some reason, tourism money seems to have shut them up.

Anyway, on the original topic, fuck that guy.
