QAnon Spent the Weekend Spreading a John Fetterman Body Double Conspiracy Theory

The entire basis of the conspiracy theory is the comparison of two photos of Fetterman that the conspiracists claim are not of the same person—even though both are very obviously both of the Pennsylvania senator.

Body double conspiracies are a common trope in conspiracist circles: In recent years QAnon believers have claimed that President Joe Biden, Queen Elizabeth, and the Pope have been replaced by body doubles, all in an attempt to undermine the leaders’ credibility and boost the belief that the world is really run by a secret cabal of elites and the faceless “deep state.”

The Fetterman conspiracy gained momentum over the weekend when some high profile figures in the MAGA-sphere shared it. One of the most prominent is the right-wing troll account known as Catturd, which tweeted two photos of Fetterman with the comment: “It’s a miracle … In only 3 weeks, John Fetterman got a total head replacement. Man, he has some good doctors.”

But others in the conspiracy and MAGA worlds are now pushing back, claiming that the “body double” conspiracies are damaging their reputation and hiding the real conspiracy— which is that Fetterman is, in fact, “braindead.”

My cousins:

"Where did all those blacks come from?" (Confused as to the diversity appearing on the telly these days.)

"Them damned libruls want our kids to marry those n******!"

To protest this one bunch ceremoniously burned a 13" black and white TV. I was ROTFLAMO.

Odd how they get upset about brown skin but never about brown hair or brown eyes!

On Elon Musk’s Twitter, a reinstated QAnon influencer launched a conspiracy theory that left a company facing false pedophilia accusations

A QAnon influencer who was reinstated on Twitter by Elon Musk caused a baseless conspiracy theory linking Huggies diapers and pedophilia to gain traction online, forcing the diaper company to publicly rebut it. It is yet another case of Musk’s decision-making with Twitter harming the platform’s user base.

The QAnon influencer known online as “Vincent Kennedy” was banned from Twitter following the January 6, 2021, insurrection. However, the account was reinstated in January under Musk and received a checkmark by subscribing to Twitter Blue — meaning Twitter is making money off of the account and actively amplifying its posts.

On March 20, Kennedy tweeted, “Once you truly awake you ain’t going back to sleep,” along with an image of a Huggies’ brand diaper with the Simba character from Disney’s The Lion King. The diaper also depicted circular and triangle-like symbols, which Kennedy highlighted. While it was not explicit, Kennedy’s tweet was almost certainly referring to a claim that these symbols are a signal for supporting pedophilia — a key claim behind the debunked Pizzagate conspiracy theory. Subsequently, the tweet earned tens of thousands of retweets and likes, and Twitter’s view count listed the tweet as having millions of views.

The tweet and the related conspiracy theory about Huggies made its way elsewhere online, with fellow conspiracy theorists and QAnon supporters claiming there was “FBI Peadophile Symbolism spotted on Huggies' Disney Nappies/Diapers,” that the diapers had “Pedophile designs,” and that Huggies may even be “breaking the law” by using the symbols. Videos on TikTok pushing the conspiracy theory gained particular traction, getting nearly 1 million combined views.

For months, the far-right has insisted the US is about to adopt a new digital currency that would ban people from buying meat, and bar the unvaccinated from buying... anything.

Quote:DeSantis and RFK Jr. misconstrue Fed’s digital plans in warning of government overreach

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis alleged last weekend that a Fed-made digital U.S. dollar would let the government block transactions like buying a rifle or filling up with “too much gas.”

He added, speaking at a Pennsylvania conference on Saturday, “They are going to try to impose an ESG agenda,” referring to private sector policies aimed at advancing environmental, social and governance principles, which conservative lawmakers across the country have been pushing to curb.

DeSantis’ comments came within days of remarks by anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who tweeted Wednesday that a Fed-issued currency would “allow the government to surveil all our private financial affairs … enforce dollar limits on our transactions restricting where you can send money … [and] freeze your assets or limit your spending to approved vendors if you fail to comply with arbitrary diktats, i.e. vaccine mandates.”

An ex-NYT reporter turned full-time UFO junkie has published a "nonfiction" picture book for kids about UFOs as part of the University of New Mexico's "Worlds of Wonder Science Series."



"Hey, kids--while you're sleeping creepy monsters will kidnap you from your bedroom, touch your private parts, and then wipe your memory after implanting weird things in your skin! It's a World of Wonder!"

Fuck conspiracy.

Pentagon has released, or should I say "declassified", a new UFO video. I mean what could it possibly be?

Obviously a battlestar of the Galactica Class.
