(CNN Business)Sometime Monday, some of the remaining dead-enders convinced that President Trump will remain in office for at least the next four years got a sign. A Telegram account falsely purporting to be run by Gen. John Hyten, the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was telling them that the moment they'd been waiting for, the moment Trump would finally act and use the military to crush his enemies, was coming.
"Nothing can stop this," the account said in a message that had been seen by at least 185,000 people as of Tuesday morning. "They can no longer hide in the shadows," it added half an hour later. Then, 20 minutes later: "Last hours." It continued on like this. Around 10 a.m. ET it posted an ominous picture of soldiers in uniform behind a fence in Washington DC with the caption "Stay in your homes."
By Tuesday afternoon, the account had almost 220,000 followers -- likely helped by the fact that it was being widely and actively discussed and promoted on other platforms including Twitter (TWTR) and Facebook (FB). After CNN asked about the people sharing links to and promoting the Telegram channel on its platform, Twitter said it was "taking action on accounts sharing it" and would prevent the link from being tweeted further. Additionally, Facebook spokesperson Andy Stone told CNN that Facebook had started blocking the link to the Telegram account as of early Wednesday morning.
A spokesperson for Gen. Hyten told CNN Tuesday morning that the account is "an absolute fake" and added the Pentagon was "actively working" to get it taken down. Tuesday afternoon the account was marked as a "scam" with the message, "Warning: Many users reported this account as a scam or a fake account." The account has since shed some followers, and many of the messages have been removed. A Telegram spokesperson told CNN, "Telegram monitors reports and warns users about fraudulent accounts in clear-cut cases like the one you pointed out. " Facebook and Twitter did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The account, which largely reflected old tropes from the QAnon conspiracy theory, was emblematic of a bigger trend. A sizable group of people who believe the lie that the election was stolen from Trump and that someone or something -- the courts, state legislatures, members of Congress, Vice President Mike Pence -- would stop Joe Biden from being inaugurated have not been dissuaded from that belief. Instead, they came to believe that the only thing left is violence, and blood. They are convinced, even now that he's left Washington, that Trump is about to institute martial law -- and they can't wait.

The conspiracy theory has at its root the same thing that inspired the riot inside the Capitol on January 6th — the false idea that the election was stolen and American democracy under threat, and someone had to do something. Then, the rioters took it upon themselves. After the riot, similar groups of people had faith that they could hang back and wait because Trump and the military would take action. But given the way conspiracy theories work generally, and the way they have proliferated after the riot, it is easy to imagine these theories spinning out in new ways once it is clear no such action is coming.
Much of the discussion around martial law online ultimately connects to QAnon, which has long had a promise of and a lust for blood. But the people who are excitedly discussing the possibility of a military takeover may not know the origins of their obsession. And the phenomenon does not appear to be confined to a niche corner of the internet.
Over the past two weeks, CNN has seen Trump supporters embracing the idea in large numbers and across multiple social media platforms.
On Facebook, a video in which a man warned people they should stock up on food before martial law was implemented was viewed more than five million times before it was fact-checked and marked as false. The video is no longer on Facebook, though it is not clear who took it down. CNN has reached out to Facebook for comment.

On YouTube, a man who had previously been best known for his claims that he has an alien mother and an alien daughter has suddenly become a star. He racked up more than 3.5 million views with a video in which he claimed that Trump had signed the Insurrection Act, a prominent feature of many martial law conspiracy theories. Another video in which he said that as much as 85% of Congress could be arrested has been viewed almost 1.7 million times. After this article was initially published, Ivy Choi, a YouTube spokesperson, told CNN that the company had removed the latter video after being asked about it by CNN, saying it had "violat[ed] our presidential election integrity policy."

On TikTok, thousands if not tens of thousands of people have been seeing and reacting to dozens of videos tied to the conspiracy theories. Those videos range in subject, all tied to the same false idea that Trump is about to institute martial law -- in some, people excitedly film the movement of military vehicles, convinced it's a sign; in others, people repeat warnings about being prepared with food and water; one popular theme is that at any moment Trump will use the Emergency Broadcast System to announce the beginning of his move. There is rarely, if ever any sign of hesitation or concern over the lives that might be lost.

Predictions for the next 15 months.
August 19, 2023

Iknow it's been awhile, but I've been busy helping identify and compile information on members of the "Cult of Insanity" here in the US.

 By now nearly everyone in the world has likely heard of the many charges that CAPTAIN SPRAYTAN is facing.

 Don't start cheering just yet however. Just because he has been CHARGED doesn't mean he will actually be held accountable for the damage he has done. I have countless records from past court cases and reports which indicate this country's legal system is anything but just and fair. So without further thoughts, here is what I predict will happen based on those records and reports:

 1: Despite the evidence, trump will walk out of the courtroom scott free, either due to secret supporters embedded in the jury or through the jury being terrorized by members of his cult of FAKEriots.

2: Trump will continue to run for president, likely even winning due to a combination of tens of millions of idiots in our country believing his lies and through massive voter fraud (which they constantly accuse the DEMOCRATS of doing).

3: regardless of whether he wins, he will succeed this time in seizing power with the help of his gullible and violent followers, becoming dictator for life of the USA and turning our country into nazi germany on steroids. And this won't just affect the USA. Imagine if back in World War 2 Hitler had enough nuclear weapons to wipe out all life on earth? Even putin has shown that (so far) he's not THAT **** crazy to actually start lobbing nukes! Though that could change.

 4: trump will attempt to create an alliance with russia, china, and north korea while declaring countries like england, france, germany, (in short, ALL our current allies) to be the enemy! And none of them will dare to oppose us for fear that we will nuke them. It's like a statement I made on social media years ago - "I didn't think ANYONE could be as insane as bush jr.... then trump got elected and HOLY CRAP was I wrong!"

 And why do I see these things happening? For the simple reason that even among those who see him for what he really is, most cannot be bothered to stand up and fight back. They still think peaceful protests and petitions work to change things. Anyone who has seen footage from the republican convention of 2004 in NYC (Search "Guantanamo on the hudson") and both the democrat and republican conventions of 2008 will realize that peaceful protest is no match for violent heavily armed thugs - either in or out of uniform. It has since been further proven in attacks by trump supporters against all others who disagree with their batshit insane beliefs.

I know from first hand experience that you CANNOT reason with or ignore such thugs! Reason doesn't work because they are too far gone mentally to ever come back, and ignoring such violent thugs/bullies only emboldens them and makes them more willing to progress to ever more violent acts! Would you ignore or try to reason with flesh eating zombies shown in many american movies and tv shows?Huh If so then let's face it - you would be too stupid to live.

Are we headed for civil war - 08/15/2023

 And then there are real wacky people like "Casi Rumore" and "NAZ" on twitter. Despite swearing up and down that he's not, "Casi" ticks most of the boxes for at least trying to join the cult, as if he's desperate to be noticed by who he thinks are the 'cool kids', defending the people involved with the January 6 2021 attack and the MAGA in arizona who threatened to kill biden, as well as condemning those who help others keep their freedom and supporting the terrorist bombing of the georgia guidestones - which actually coincide with many of his own publicly claimed principals. He also associates with a woman pushing to repeal the 19th amendment, which gives women the right to vote - WHAT THE ****?



Then there's "NAZ", whose kneejerk reaction is aggressively antiwar PERIOD for any reason (including those fighting to keep their freedom), yet promotes that blacks should take up arms and fight for their rights. TALK ABOUT CONFLICTED AND CONFUSED! 





Of course, most people in this country don't bother to research things to find out if they're true, or even READ THIS BLOG! The vast majority of readers of this blog are in various european countries - I can count on one hand the number of americans who bother with it. Sad Personally, I hope like hell that my above predictions are so far wrong as to be pure fiction. But from all the things I know about our system (which I will cover in my next post - especially the so-called JUSTICE SYSTEM), I am sad to say that they are almost a certainty.
