Musk just let Pizzagate/QAnon conspiracy theorist Liz Crokin back on Twitter

First Flynn, now Crokin. Maybe Musk is trying to make amends with his RWNJ fans - apparently his puppet-masters now - for offending them by saying yesterday that McCarthy should be Speaker.




Prominent Pizzagate promoter Liz Crokin is back on Twitter too this afternoon, after a four year ban. Big day for conspiracy theorists in the Elon era.





From Wikipedia's page on Crokin: https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Liz_Crokin

Crokin first became an adherent of the Pizzagate conspiracy theory, which she says "awakened" her to the evils of Democrats.[6] Crokin continues to believe Pizzagate is true, as of 2020.[7] She then became a follower of QAnon, another conspiracy theory whose wider scope includes that liberals and elites are running worldwide child sex-trafficking rings whom Donald Trump is secretly fighting.[3] QAnon is derived from a belief the 4chan, then 8chan imageboards have been used by members of the Trump administration to disseminate top secret information about the presidency. The QAnon source making "intel drops" on 4chan and 8chan, she believed, was Trump himself or Stephen Miller.[8][9] According to Crokin, she "immediately knew [QAnon] was legit" upon discovering the first "drop". She went on to become one of QAnon's most prominent "influencers".[6]

Crokin shares the QAnon beliefs that the Mueller investigation was a cover for a pedophile investigation and that the cabal of child abusers will ultimately be defeated and its members arrested en masse in an event known as "the Storm".[9][10] In 2017, future congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene credited Crokin for making her discover QAnon.[6] At the end of December 2017, Crokin claimed on Twitter that photographs posted on Snapchat by Chrissy Teigen, which showed the model with her one-year-old daughter, contained concealed messages suggesting Teigen was connected to Pizzagate.[11] After Twitter removed her verification, Crokin went on to contend that Teigen might be under the CIA's Project MKUltra mind control program (long since scrapped).[12] Other people possibly under MKUltra, according to Crokin, include Harvey Weinstein and Jeff Bezos.[12] She featured in Out of Shadows, a documentary uploaded to YouTube in April 2020. For her, Jeffrey Epstein and the NXIVM scandal demonstrated the continuing validity of Pizzagate.[13]

Crokin was the original source for Roseanne Barr's deleted tweet in March 2018 claiming President Donald Trump had released hundreds of children from bondage each month. Crokin had used fake figures in a 2017 blog post for the conservative Townhall website entitled "Why the MSM Is Ignoring Trump's Sex Trafficking Busts" claiming a "staggering 1,500-plus arrests" of involved individuals in the first 30 days of Trump's presidency.[2][14] Another thesis she has spread is that John F. Kennedy Jr. did not die in a 1999 plane crash, but faked his death, and is behind QAnon.[10][15][16] According to Right Wing Watch, she predicted in March 2018 that the conspiracy theories suggesting "thousands of high-level political, business and entertainment figures are involved in cannibalistic satanic pedophilia" would be proven as true before President Trump leaves office.[17]

In February 2019, Crokin expressed disappointment that Trump had not yet conducted the "mass arrests" of the child sex ring members as promised by Q, and worried that Trump might lose support if he waited too long. She added that she was in favor of citizen's arrests against John Podesta and other people, and warned that people might lose patience and take the street to conduct "vigilante justice".[18]

from the RWNJs whose subscriptions he needs that he seems to be trying to reassure them he's also a RWNJ, even if he does want McCarthy as Speaker.

... do his job as head of the Defense Intelligence Agency and give warning to President Obama
about Vlad/Russia attack and take over of the Crimea. (We have satellites and it would have been
easy to spot the Russian military moving in place for the invasion.) The President fired him and
then he went to Russia until he came back to work on the Trump Campaign in 2014 or 2015.

No more Mr. Guy we have to call these traitors out in public and do it 24/7 too.

Gets away with calling Dems pedophiles, rapists, communists and worse, and Dems usually sit back and take it. I guess I could never be a Dem in the House, because I'd be clapping back, but you know you gotta fly high and I'm not the one to sit there and take some fucktard calling me a pedophile and groomer when that party is chock FULLLL of them Look at Matt Gaetz, and the whole host of pedios, adulterers, fetus murderers and such in that party of pedios, rapists, Madison Cawthornes humping another man yet calling himself a 'christian," they're the party of fascists, Nazi's, proud boys, oath keepers, white nationalists, insurrectionists, traitors and terrorists.
