“If you’re a cult and you want to recruit wealthy people, you can buy data, find out who’s depressed, who’s anxious, and you can target people.” University of Amsterdam researchers confirm that as people become more indoctrinated into a radical group, alternate points of view are less likely to sway them. But that’s not to say you shouldn’t try: In a Nantes University study, 58 percent of former cult members reported that some social intervention, like a conversation with a friend or loved one, helped set them on the path to leaving. These kinds of conversations are more likely to...

A Belgian woman was barred from visiting a chimp at Antwerp Zoo after keepers determined that the two were spending far too much time together. The woman claimed she had a “affair” with the animal. The bizarre ‘love story’ made the headlines across Belgian media on Friday, after Antwerp Zoo slapped a restraining order of sorts on Adie Timmermans, a long-standing visitor. Over the past four years, Timmermans paid weekly visits to the zoo, seeking contact with one particular animal – a 38-year-old chimpanzee called Chita. The two then interacted through the enclosure’s glass, waving and blowing kisses at each...

For the last several weeks, we have heard nothing but doom and gloom from the media and the left when it comes to the spread of COVID-19’s latest threat, the Delta Variant. The variant, which began spreading in India late last year, has increased transmission rates over previous versions of the virus and has spread throughout the United States over the course of the last several months. The media, which has spun this as a red state spread (for the record, it is spreading equally as fast in blue states) has conveniently forgotten that of the top 5 states for...

A California surfing school owner who was charged with killing his two children in Mexico is a follower of QAnon and Illuminati conspiracy theories who thought the children "were going to grow into monsters so he had to kill them," federal officials alleged.

Authorities said Coleman confessed to the killings and told the FBI that he used a spear fishing gun to...

The Great Chastisement ~ How It Connects To Current Events, Q Intel and Trump (Part 1) by Sandra Airey You hear it all over, even from family and friends, the stock market is going to crash! The ads are endless to buy gold or silver. I am in no way qualified to discuss the stock market since my husband will not even let me near the checkbook; and for good reason. But I do know about the Patriot movement as explained for three years by Q, other surrogates and our own dear President Trump. Because I have so much faith...

October 31st 2019, I wrote a short essay entitled, "What If …. Biden Goes Away?"M/a> It described a vision I was given in which I saw Joe Biden. He had been arrested. It showed that he was going to be executed! I kept my ear cocked to the political news, which as a "news junkie", is business as usual for me! Confirmation came the 2nd week of April 2021, from an unquestionable source! ( There were rumors a couple of months earlier but nothing to write home about.) July 3,2021 --- This knowledge was made public indirectly, by our President,...

DaBaby has quietly vanished from the lineup of this year’s Parklife Festival in Manchester, England, following homophobic comments he made onstage at last week’s Rolling Loud festival in Miami. ....During his Sunday appearance at Rolling Loud, the rapper was recorded during his set saying, “If you didn’t show up today with HIV, AIDS, or any of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases, that’ll make you die in two to three weeks, then put your cellphone lighter up… Fellas, if you ain’t sucking d*** in the parking lot, put your cellphone lighter up.” The comments sparked criticism from Dua Lipa (who had...

Here in the United States we are in a full-blown communist infiltration, it is very much a war for the salvation of our nation. The infiltration took decades. Only after it was complete did it manifest itself with all its ugly faces. Those who are paying attention are shocked! It seems as if our America is disintegrating rapidly!... Now how does the Pope fit into this scenario? The criminal cabal of elites makes their money through nefarious activities...

OPINION: This article contains commentary which reflects the author’s opinion There’s a reason people call him “creepy Joe.” During his much-criticized town hall on CNN, Joe Biden denied sucking the blood of children. That’s right. Apparently, American politics continues to devolve lower and lower. The fact that Biden even addressed this question is proof that he knows the concern the American public has. During the CNN town hall, Biden said: The idea that the Democrats or the Biden is hiding people and sucking the blood of children, no I’m serious, that’s the — Now you may not like me and...

Apparently, we are chewing average pizza but eschewing (allegedly) good beer. (I never liked Sam Adams, myself, though I like plenty of dark beers)

A Florida man who was seen carrying a large red "Trump 2020" flag on the floor of the U.S. Senate during the Capitol riot received eight months in prison Monday in the first felony sentence from the Jan. 6 attack. Paul Allard Hodgkins, 38, of Tampa, was arrested Feb. 16 after the FBI received a tip identifying him among the hundreds of people seen in photos and videos inside the Capitol.

Following the adoption of legislation letting inmates identify their sex and choose where to be housed, risky sexual behavior has become rampant in California women’s penitentiaries, according to an inmate activist. At the California Institution for Women in Chino, for example, HIV positive transgender “women” are having sex with biological women, said Amber Jackson, an inmate there. “What kind of human being would intentionally cause harm by placing a number HIV-infected, anatomically male prisoners among the female prisoners?” Jackson asked. In September, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the bill, authored by Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), requiring California to house inmates...

A few years into waiting for “the storm” to sweep away former President Donald Trump’s enemies, some believers in the prophetic QAnon conspiracy theory have decided to take matters into their own hands. These “digital soldiers” aren’t picking up guns or marching on the Capitol - though many actually did that. Instead, nearly 100 Q-aligned candidates ran for Congress in the 2020 election, according to watchdog site Media Matters for America, with dozens of others running for governor, state legislature seats and county offices. Some were hardcore Q evangelists, while others had merely retweeted a QAnon hashtag. But all had...
