I’m linking to the actual criminal complaint for one reason > **[Olson Complaint | PDF | Joint Terrorism Task Force | Crime & Violence](https://www.scribd.com/document/499500967/Olson-complaint)** > > Olson complaint It contains pictures of his car. The guy is batshit, he vandalized his own car. The article talk about how he had WWG1WGA, Q, Trust My Plan, and other QANON crap spray painted on his car. I was thinking that maybe there was a little finesse involved, that maybe he’d attempted to make it look like he had the car detailed. But no, apparently he just took a can of spray paint and painted big letter Q’s and little slogans all over his car, not even caring how it looked or if the spray paint dripped. Seriously, the paint job is so bad it’s vandalism. ---

When I read about his painting his car with Q slogans, this was exactly what I imagined. The crazy don’t care much about style. Few manifestos about the secret lizard people are written in calligraphy. The rest of that complaint is an interesting read as well, as it tells a bit about his thinking and so-called plan. Basically it boils down to suicide by Guardsman, unless the Guardsman are really secretly on Trumps side. Not sure where “Guardsmen don’t want to kill you but still think your an idiot” fits in. ---

Unknown to me, Hillary is somehow responsible for the ship blocking the Suez Canal and child trafficking something something. > **[QAnon Claims Suez Canal Ship Used by Hillary Clinton to Traffic Children](https://www.newsweek.com/qanon-ship-suez-canal-hillary-clinton-1578428?fbclid=IwAR135rG2uSXm1T07u8aNIOZacg3Mk_Mm5L1dem2Lunc3jzJMytaJooFkV_0)** > > Conspiracy theorists make huge leap because the vessel is operated by a company called Evergreen—which is Hillary Clinton's Secret Service codename.

The ship has a cargo capacity of roughly 200K tonnes. And is nearly fully loaded. Since people can’t be packed all that densely while alive a bunch of that weight is the containers themselves. Let’s say it’s 90% containers and 10% kids by weight. That’s 20K tonnes of kids = 44,000,000 lbs of kids. At 100# each (fatcats especially like skinny pre-pubescent kids), that’s 440,000 kids. That’s enough kids to depopulate a decent sized state in India. Plus we need to consider the effort required to feed them. Epic fail on the common sense front. Just like everything else QAnon says. ---

Why not play this if you’re Clinton (H or B)? Appear at an unannounced press conference with kids rescued from… something (I dunno, Covid?) and have a press conference with no translators for the kids, which later turn out to be from Kyriabab, and they conveniently had no translator for Kryiababian dialects, especially from the Democratic districts! I’d have a shitload of fun with this. Here’s the next update: Hillary to appear with kids to sing “Sing” the Carpenters song on SNL who are rescued but have “markings” on their left inner arms. Damn, how can I start an account on these shit sites? (Or do they already have my idea posted?? GAUUUGH!!!) 😁 ---
