New:

Far-right figure Laura Loomer, who has become increasingly close with Trump, claimed in a new YouTube interview, 'Nationalism keeps you safe. Profiling keeps you safe. Discrimination keeps you safe.'

Her X account with over 100,000 followers is packed full of conspiracy theories about astrology, wellness, anti-vax and alternative medicine, Covid-19, QAnon, and antisemitism with an alarming turn towards doomsday theories in the lead up to the solar eclipse.

Michael Flynn over the past couple of days at events for his new movie has been photographed with conspiracy theorist Dom Lucre & QAnon influencer 'Absolute1776.'

Just saw an advertisement on Twitter selling clothing with QAnon slogans printed on them.

A QAnon supporter has claimed that he 'joined the ... team' behind Michael Flynn's new movie & 'will be traveling with them across the country for the next two months.'

X promoted a trending story on Thursday via its homepage with the headline:
“Iran Strikes Tel Aviv with Heavy Missiles”

one problem: the story was fake

even worse: the headline + story was created by a new feature powered by X’s own AI chatbot, Grok mashable.com/article/elon-m…

New from Media Matters with research from me:

Right-wing YouTuber Tim Pool has raised over $1.3 million from Super Chat donations

'[Pool] laughed and said, 'People are just giving us money,' to which [Alex] Jones replied, That's how it works, Tim.''

Also worth noting that QAnon and Pizzagate conspiracy theorist Liz Crokin went on stage and pushed Pizzagate at this America's Future Mar-a-Lago event that Trump at one point went on stage for.

Instances like this are why whether or not Michael Flynn truly supported QAnon now or before frankly miss the point. Either way, Flynn is knee-deep in what can be essentially called the QAnon Cinematic Universe of figures tied to the conspiracy theory.

This would be the second time that Laura Loomer has claimed to discover a social media account connected to this judge, for it to be boosted by Trump, and for it to turn out to be bogus
