Speaking of deaths, although it may be slightly pre-mature, we should probably have a place holder for Tafari Campbell Obama’s personal chef who was found dead by drowning yesterday. Although I haven’t yet heard any CTs claiming he was murdered by the Obama’s to cover up something he discovered, its only a matter of time. ETA: [a short time at that](https://www.newsweek.com/tafari-campbells-death-barack-obama-sparks-wave-conspiracy-theories-1815087) I just needed to do a google search. ---

What a shame. The Obama’s have good taste. I bet he was an excellent chef. ---

Yeah, I agree that never happened. But _if_ a poster like that traumatizes a white kid, I think a better solution is to get said kid into therapy stat. ---

Good luck persuading the kid’s parents to do that, considering they’d likely fucked up the kid’s mind with their own racism to that point to begin with. ---

[And now they’re freaking out about the Masons.](https://www.yahoo.com/news/qanons-weirdest-obsession-why-does-160002512.html) > **QAnon’s weirdest obsession: Why does the radical far right fear the Masons?** > > In my most recent nonfiction book, “[Operation Mindf\*\*k: QAnon & the Cult of Donald Trump](https://bookshop.org/a/2464/9781682193310),” I focused extensively on a “QTuber” named Rick Rene, because I viewed him then and now as the perfectly imperfect microcosm of the entire messed-up QAnon universe, which perceives the Democratic Party as an elaborate cover for Satanic/Masonic pedophiles seeking to transform the Earth into a “one-world government.” > > In an email he sends out to all new subscribers, Rene relates his superhero origin story: “I’m a dad and a Christian and love the Bible. I used to fill my time teaching Bible classes at my church and coaching my kids in sports.” Then his son, he says, started sending him links to various online right-wing conspiracy theorists. They “seemed pretty out there,” Rene writes, definitely not material he was seeing “from the Mainstream Media or the News Apps on my phone.” But the more he listened, Rene says, the more he “became intrigued enough to research these ‘crazy theories,’” or, in the now-familiar phrase, to _do his own research._ Rene claims he didn’t vote for Trump in the 2016 Republican primary (another familiar theme) but soon had “taken ‘the red pill,’” which in QAnon speak means choosing to believe that everything Donald Trump says is true, along with a lot of other implausible things Trump doesn’t quite say. > > Rene no longer teaches Bible classes at his church. Instead, he advocates for the destruction of American intelligence agencies. In his [Sept. 30, 2021](https://blessed2teach.com/durham-targets-clinton-law-firm-pastor-art-update-b2t-show-sep-30-2021-is-2/), episode, Rene casually said of the FBI that we need to “blow it up and start over again from scratch!” On [July 6, 2021](https://blessed2teach.com/georgia-guidestone-destroyed-karen-kingston-live-b2t-show-jul-6-2/), he waxed poetic about what he hoped would be the imminent destruction of the Washington Monument and the Statue of Liberty.

I can’t think of any answer that could be spun as anything other than pure unadulterated racism. What I’ve always heard is, pointing out racism in any way, shape, or form is a direct attack against all white children because it makes them feel bad to be white. So pretty much what you said - unadulterated racism.
