Infrastructure designed to combat "disinformation" is expanding rapidly within the US government and intelligence agencies. But how do they define it in the first place? And how much transparency around their methods is the public granted? Our guest is Ken Klippenstein, journalist for the Intercept.

The second to last Q drop of 2020 consisted of just one word: “Durham.” This referred to Special Counsel John Durham, who was tasked with investigating the origins of Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI investigation into possible Trump Russia links. After three and a half years, the investigation ended with just one guilty plea from an ex FBI lawyer and a report that scolds the FBI’s actions. Today, we’re going to take a look at some of the contents of that report and how the QAnon community is reacting. We’ll also speculate if this means we can move on from Trump’s election, or if we are all doomed to live in 2016 forever.

Sometimes it feels like the online world is split into multiple, incompatible perceptions of reality. This is not a new development. In fact, in the mid-aughts one man tried to create an isolated island of American christian conservative thinking by launching a website called Conservapedia. Though it was advertised as being free from the supposed liberal bias of Wikipedia, Conservapedia became a home of pseudoscience, conspiracy theories, and general right-wing grievances. It even launched a project to create a new English translation of the Bible that was manlier and more conservative than previous translations. To help us understand the history of Conservapedia, we recruited our resident reddit atheist debunker, Travis. He’s going to walk us through the story of Conservpedia’s creation and show off some of the latest additions to the online encyclopedia, which is still active after 17 years.

What happens when you combine gamergate and yelling at local elected officials? You get something akin to Moms For Liberty. The nonprofit bills itself as a parental rights organization and grew to hundreds of chapters over the past three years. Though many victims have claimed that the group pushes its agenda through harassment and intimidation, they say they just care about ethics in school curriculums. To help get a better sense of what Moms For Liberty is really about, we spoke to Vice News reporter David Gilbert. He spoke to people targeted by Moms For Liberty for his report "A Far-Right Moms Group Is Terrorizing Schools in the Name of Protecting Kids.” David Gilbert https://twitter.com/daithaigilbert References https://www.vice.com/en/article/dy3gnq/what-is-moms-for-liberty https://buckscountybeacon.com/2022/10/the-right-wing-money-and-influence-behind-moms-for-liberty/ https://twitter.com/daithaigilbert?lang=en https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/11/07/the-right-wing-mothers-fuelling-the-school-board-wars Subscribe for $5 a month to get an extra episode of QAA every week + access to ongoing series like 'Manclan' and 'Trickle Down': http://www.patreon.com/QAnonAnonymous QAA's Website: https://qanonanonymous.com Music by Anahedron.

We got a hot one folks, and I mean literally. Join us for the second episode of our anti-QAA podcast, where Julian, Jake, and Liv attempt to make sense of our listener’s favorite YouTube clips, Conspiracy Theories, and popular culture mainstays. Listen with glee as our beloved listeners set trap after trap for poor old Jake, tricking him into platforming only the worst content – and demand his take on it as well. The gang covers everything from promisingly pilled YA novels to William Shatner’s singing and smoking habits. But mostly Jake just remembers embarrassing stories from his teenage years while Julian and Liv make fun of him.

There are many QAnon live events one can choose from. There’s the Reawaken America Tour, the Patriot Round Up, and even, most recently, Reckoning Fest. But what if those aren’t enough for you? In that case, there’s another way to meet the modern torchbearers of the Q drops. This one is held by a company run by a man best known for “Devolution Theory,” which posits that Trump or his allies somehow secretly remained in power during the Biden administration. To discuss what the livestream revealed about the current state of pilled Americans, we chat with Mike Rothschild, author of The Storm Is Upon Us: How QAnon Became a Movement, Cult, and Conspiracy Theory of Everything. https://twitter.com/rothschildmd Subscribe for $5 a month to get an extra episode of QAA every week + access to ongoing series like 'Manclan' and 'Trickle Down': http://www.patreon.com/QAnonAnonymous QAA's Website: https://qanonanonymous.com Music by Pontus Berghe.

Annie Kelly delves deep into the pilling of Andrew Bridgen – a British politician who, until very recently, was a backbench MP for the Conservative Party, representing North West Leicestershire. After a chance encounter with a quack cardiologist, and the weight of the pandemic on his shoulders, Bridgen’s political views slid quickly from ‘run of the mill conservative’ to ‘anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist.’ Jake’s health anxieties are triggered over and over as Annie walks him and Travis through a portrait of a pilled MP.

The anti vaccine movement is still relatively fringe, despite exploding during the pandemic. But what happens when someone is too extreme even for the most dedicated antivaxers? That’s the tale of Christopher Key, aka Vaccine Police. In 2021 he made a name for himself by traveling from city to city while wearing a custom “Vaccine Police” shirt and fake badge in order to harass pharmacists, health executives, and city council members. We track his decades-long history of pushing disreputable health treatments — including what he euphemistically calls “urine therapy.” And we learn how his antics have led to multiple arrests and shunning by the anti vaccine community and even Donald Trump himself.

Usually, telling lies on the internet is Constitutionally protected. But what happens when it’s not? What happens when you post and meme so hard and so maliciously that you go far outside the realm of protected speech and wind up in a federal prison. That’s the story of a 33-year-old man named Douglass Mackey, who operated a few Twitter accounts under the name Rickey Vaughn. Using these accounts he spread Pizzagate lies, racist tropes, and also messages deliberately designed to mislead people into giving up their right to vote. On May 31st, Douglass Mackey was convicted of Election Interference in the 2016 presidential race after a one week trial. To better understand this case we spoke to someone who has been covering it for years: Michael Edison Hayden from the Southern Poverty Law Center. We chat about Douglass Mackey’s background, the crime he was found guilty of committing, and what it means for the future of online disinformation campaigns. We also discuss the trial’s involvement of “Microchip,” a notorious troll who is currently working as a federal informant.

To commemorate the indictment of Donald Trump, Jake searched high and low for a movie involving the arrest of a president. The closest he got was the 1996 film "My Fellow Americans." The screwball conspiracy road comedy stars Jack Lemmon and James Garner as rival ex-presidents, clearly stand-ins for George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton, who are forced to team up in order to expose a frame job. Along the way they evade murderous NSA agents and meet ordinary Americans. Jake guides us through this mostly forgotten relic of the 90s which somehow combines a hokey, naive vision of American politics with a maximally cynical portrayal of deep state agents shaping history behind the scenes.

Folks, we got ‘em. Donald Trump has been indicted — or as Trump himself put it at Truth Social: he has been “INDICATED.” Manhattan prosecutors are accusing Trump of falsifying business records with the intent to conceal illegal conduct connected to his 2016 election. Will he be hanged at GITMO for treason? No. But what will happen? Lawyer Allie Mezei helps us break down known facts of the case and some possible future scenarios. We also discover how the QAnon community is reacting to the revelation. Spoiler: they’re still trusting the plan. Finally, we’ll take a peek at a new insider anon on 4chan who doesn’t quite have that Q magic.

"Unvaxxed sperm is the new bitcoin." A statement we couldn't help but look into. Are there online markets doubling as dating platforms to "exchange" unvaccinated sperm? Is one of them run by a dissident Chinese billionaire? Is another the scheme of an insanely racist guy called "Giorgio Della Pietra" living out of Thailand? Who can say.
