Meet the QAnon-affiliated insurrectionist running for Congress in Ohio.
J.R. Majewski has frequently bragged about his friendship with Rep. Jim Jordan and his role as a Trump surrogate. On January 6, he rushed the Capitol.
Link to tweet
Majewski is a QAnon conspiracy theorist who initially gained national attention after painting his entire yard to look like a Trump reelection banner in the summer of 2020. Shortly thereafter, then-President Donald Trump praised Majewski, and Fox News interviewed him about his yard while he was wearing a QAnon shirt. Majewski has also posted multiple images and hashtags on his Instagram account that are affiliated with the violence-linked QAnon conspiracy theory, including #WWG1WGA, #thegreatawakeningworldwide, and #qanon.
Majewski is also closely linked to RedPill78, a well-known QAnon influencer who has been banned from multiple major social media platforms for peddling the conspiracy theory. RedPill78 and Majewski are friends and have hosted MAGA Meetups together, as well as livestreams on YouTube, Twitch, and DLive....
For his part, Jordan had peddled the lie that the 2020 presidential election was stolen and called for an investigation prior to the insurrection. He even spoke at a Stop the Steal rally at the Pennsylvania state Capitol on November 5. A month after the insurrection, Jordan tweeted How do you incite a riot that was already going to happen? in an attempt to absolve Trump. Jordan later falsely claimed that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) had denied National Guard assistance during the attack at the Capitol.
Majewski claims to have helped organize and attended the January 6 Capitol insurrection
Ahead of the January 6 Capitol insurrection, Majewski claimed in multiple tweets to have organized resources to bring Trump supporters to the event. In a TikTok, Majewski claimed to have funded the travel of 30 patriots. Ive provided $20k amongst Trump supports and arranged travel for them over a 72hr period to travel to DC, Majewski tweeted on December 30. Multiple Twitter users also credited Majewski for helping them travel to Washington, D.C., for January 6.

(70,501 posts)For the love of Dog much of QAnon is based on the very antisemitic Elders of Zion crap that
the Nazis used in the 1930s and 40s.

But as QAnon gained adherents and took on new topics - with President Donald Trump as the constant hero waging a misunderstood battle - social media accounts tied to a key Kremlin ally joined in.
In 2019, accounts removed by Twitter and suspected of being controlled by Russias Internet Research Agency sent a high volume of tweets tagged with #QAnon and the movement slogan #WWG1WGA, short for Where We Go One, We Go All, said Melanie Smith, head of analysis at social media analysis firm Graphika. The IRA was indicted by Robert Mueller in his election interference prosecution.
More recently, Russian government-backed media RT.com and Sputnik have stepped up coverage of QAnon, which began with a false proclamation Hillary Clinton would be arrested for an undetermined reason and now includes theories about child trafficking by Hollywood elites, the novel coronavirus and more.
Alethea Group disinformation expert Cindy Otis, a former CIA analyst, said RT, Sputnik and other Kremlin-backed media have been writing more about QAnon, using it to fit into their broader narrative of: The U.S. is falling apart, look how much division there is.

It is so easy for Russia to sow disinformation using these "low watt dim bulbs" to cause problems in America.
You take under educated racist dumb fucks who have been getting their news from Fox and feed them crap
through the internet and they get QAnon/Proud Boys/and so on.
Last summer they got a bunch of bearded AR rifle carrying dumb asses to meet and protect a civil war monument
to the great confederate soldiers in Brandburg, KY. Because a barge of BLM/ANTIFA black people were coming down
the OH River to attack the statue.
BTW on election day 2020 I had to deal w/some Trumpers and some of them were really nasty people looking
for a fight.

In 2016 I was talking to Trumper and told him that Trump kept a book of Hitler's
speeches by his bed (info from Trump wife # 1, Ivana) and he was like so what
he sticks it to the liberals. And then started laughing.
Hell Trump has killed over 1/2 a million Americans and still millions still voted for him.

How did we forget our grandfathers and father's struggles in WW2 so quickly while the rebels remember the defeat of the South so long? It is unbelievable.

organization that worked with the Nazis during WW II.
The medal is called Order of Vitez which was a pro Nazi group that worked with the Nazis
during WW II including the round up of Hungarian Jews.
