QAnon Leader Inadvertently Outs Himself as a Groomer

 

Believers in the pro-Trump QAnon conspiracy theory are always on the hunt for the powerful pedophiles they imagine run the world—like the cabal of pedophiles they say controls the Democratic Party, or the one operating out of the imagined basement of a Washington pizzeria.

 

But now, new court records reveal that QAnon leader Phil Godlewski has a criminal past of his own involving an inappropriate relationship with a minor that police records suggest turned sexual.

 

Thanks to an ill-conceived defamation lawsuit against a local newspaper, Godlewski has put his conspiracy-theory career at risk by inadvertently prompting the release of more details regarding his case, including lurid text messages and a video of his erect penis.

 

Perhaps worse, according to his courtroom opponents, records suggest Godlewski has been caught both committing perjury himself and attempting to convince his own victim to do the same to ensure a “financial windfall” for them both.

 

Now, in a bombshell motion, the newspaper claims they’ve caught Godlewski breaking a bevy of courtroom rules and want him to pay $70,000 in legal fees and damages. As the case heats up and revelations spill out, it also offers a chance to see the kind of person who can profit from the persistent conspiracy theory.

 

QAnon has ruined families, inspired multiple gruesome murders, and helped power the Jan. 6 insurrection. But QAnon has also been a lucrative career for Godlewski, a Pennsylvania-based promoter of the conspiracy theory who speaks to his fans in lengthy, rambling livestream videos.

Our craziness is spreading...first Europe, now Japan:

 

QAnon members in Japan sentenced for breaking into Covid vaccination centers

 

Several members of a QAnon group in Japan were sentenced by a Tokyo court on Thursday for breaking into multiple Covid vaccination centers, according to CNN affiliate TV Asahi.

 

The five defendants were members of YamatoQ, an offshoot of the larger QAnon conspiracy theory that originated in the United States in 2017. In the years since, a number of fringe QAnon groups have emerged in Japan, with some local influencers garnering tens of thousands of followers.

 

Kuraoka Hiroyuki, the 44-year-old former leader of YamatoQ, was among those convicted of breaking into vaccination centers across Tokyo in March and April this year. On Thursday, the court ruled that since he had shown remorse by submitting documents to formally leave the group, his sentence – one and a half years’ imprisonment – would be suspended for three years, according to TV Asahi.

 

The other defendants were also given suspended sentences.

 

The members “dared to commit the crime for the purpose of forcing their own beliefs,” said the court in its decision, according to TV Asahi. “They may not evade severe condemnation.”

 

YamatoQ, a general incorporated association, has organized monthly protests against vaccines and face masks across Japan this year. The group’s manifesto and website reflect the baseless conspiracy theory it stemmed from, saying it aimed to protect people from Satanists and the Illuminati – and that it respected former US President Donald Trump.

 

QAnon began in the US in October 2017 when a person or persons using the name “Q” (which is a level of US security clearance) posted a thread on 4chan, an anonymous American messaging board regarded as the birthplace of the alt-right movement.

She's not quitting anything. She just needs a few days to cool down. She's waaaaay too far down the rabbit hole to walk away.

 

For most of these people, the conspiracies are an addiction and the participation is the reward, or the "high." The drug gives them the feeling that they're "in the know" and can "make a difference." It's a fantasy role-playing game that to them is real life. We tend to lump them in with the mentally ill but it's much more akin to drug dependency. The Q club is her gang that she communes with to shoot up and that's a family you can't disown because the one thing conspiracy addicts CANNOT do is enjoy the drug by themselves.
