What's up QAA listeners? The fun games have begun. I found a way to connect to the internet. I'm sorry, boy. Welcome, listener to Premium Chapter 110 of the Q&ONONANANANANANAS podcast, the Marjorie Taylor Green episode. As always, we are your host, Jake Rockatansky, Julian Fields, and Travis Vue. Of all the public figures who have supported QAnon,

Marjorie Taylor Green might be getting the best ride of them all. If you've been listening to this podcast for a little while, you'll have followed her unlikely bid for Georgia's 14th Congressional District and watched her pulverize her Republican opponent by a more than 20-point margin in the primary, and follow that by running unopposed in the general. Her meteoric rise presages a wave of Trump-inspired conspiracy theorists and far-right extremists,

who may, like her, be pragmatic and vicious enough to succeed where the president fell short. This week we saw the trending of phrases like Jewish space lasers and a new examination of our favorite Congresswoman. But it seems like the media class is meeting Marjorie for the first time. So we wanted to help you by just giving you a bit more of a fully painted portrait. And for that, we've hired one of the best painters I've ever met. Travis Few, who's brought his oil paints.

I see him setting them up. I see him mixing them. Take it away, dear sir. Marjorie Taylor Green. Now let's start at the most important part. Marjorie Taylor Green blocked me on Twitter in November of 2020, as was her right. However, it stopped being her right when she continued to block me from her account, which she used for government business after she was sworn in on November 3rd, 2021.

Why do I even bother writing semi-serious intros for you? Then it became a violation of my First Amendment right. Yeah, this is the Travis View late-blooming libertarian podcast. Like many people who fight for the rights, eyes besieged by naysayers and hecklers, but I was nonetheless determined to rectify this injustice. And so with the help of my lawyer, Benjamin Gold, I sent a strongly worded letter to Marjor Taylor Green on January 22nd. Finally, on January 27th, after almost an entire week of waiting, vindication was mine. She unblocked me, giving me the freedom to deliver my patented quips towards her yet again. You were just

muted, Travis. I know that this is a new platform for you. My victory has inspired many who asked how to contact my lawyer. This is true. This poor guy used to be a lawyer and now he's just doing like fans of the Q&Anon Anonymous podcast. Unblocking. Unblock me, Marjorie Taylor Green. Just a series of them. Are you guys going to do a class action?

Well, maybe not. I mean, actually, when I asked him if I could pass out his contact information, he told me, and I'm quoting here, oh boy not sure if I once become the lawyer for posters I mean listen why have you been saying his name so many times Benjamin you read the letter on stream his phone number was on it all right this is your path oh my god after being done with his lawyer

who successfully got him to unblock he has now turned on him Benjamin it is your destiny this is Batman the vengeance it's not enough We apologize in advance to Benjamin. Great lawyer did amazing work. I thank you so much. I thank you so much.

I now sick my followers on you. Apparently, you are ashamed of what you've done. You want to do it no longer. And I understand that. I'll respect that. Yeah, oh boy. There's a lot in that. To celebrate this triumph of civil rights,

I thought we'd take a look at the woman who inspired it all, representative Marjorie Taylor Green. and her ascension from growing up wealthy in Georgia to developing a following by being a conspiracy theorist in middle age to leveraging that following to reach the heights of Congress. She was born on May 27, 1974, in Millageville, the daughter of Robert Taylor, founder and owner of Taylor Commercial, a construction company based in Alpharetta, Georgia.

She married her husband Robert Green in 1995, and they had three children. Robert Taylor sold the company to her daughter and son-in-law in 2002. Since then, according to Green, the company has managed a quarter of a billion dollars in construction projects. She also owned and sold her own CrossFit Gym. It has been alleged that her family life wasn't all it appeared to be. Journalist Charles Bethea for the New Yorker reported that she has been accused of having multiple extramarital affairs. He spoke to one of the men who claims to have had an affair with her and showed the reporter screenshots of text conversations in which Green acknowledged sleeping with him.

When the reporter brought this up with Green, she referred him to her attorney L. Lindwood, which, of course, Lynn Wood would be the attorney for Marjorie Taylor Green. So, of course. Are you going to get to a part where she's not cool? Well, I mean, apparently some of the reasons some of these men came forward to the reporters is because she, her public face isn't exactly how she actually behaves in her real life. You know, she, so. Yeah. Now, some people might have been content to run a successful construction company they inherited and spend time with their family, but Green wanted more.

So she started getting involved in online conspiracy theories. She wrote for the now defunct right-wing conspiracy theory website, American Truth Seekers. Now, what really struck me about that website is that its logo, which depicts a swall, anthropomorphic bald eagle wearing a skimpy tank top and camel pants. Yeah, it's like a really built eagle. Just absolutely punishing body. Have people, like, did that journalist check that the person on the phone wasn't, in fact, the giant anthropomorphic eagle that slept with Marjorie? Who's also holding binoculars for some reason. Well, he's seeking the truth, but it's far off.

Gotcha. The truth is very far. In fact, this is a perfect metaphor for QAnon. When the truth is right in front of you, take out your binoculars. On American truth seekers, Green wrote at least 59 articles under the pseudonym Elizabeth Camp. There we see the trait Marjorie Taylor Green is now most famous for, a willingness to promote any conspiracy theory she comes across, even if it's baseless, anti-Semitic, or just helps cover up white nationalist murders. Or just like she wants to feel good about herself so she'll like draw something in the snow and be like, ah, someone left the message that they like me here in Washington. Like she does even those levels of lies.

It's almost pathological. It is pathological. She just, I mean, she reminds me actually of a lot of Trump in the sense. that she's like a bullshitter and she doesn't believe there's really a meaningful distinction between truth and lies. I think what distinguishes her style is that it's more angry and physical and vicious than Trump. Like really, with Trump, you know, if you have, unless you're like under the spell, you're

basically looking at what you're looking at, which is, you know, like a guy who did reality TV and like to complain about Vanity Fair parties. Right. And it's kind of like, you know, like spinning through life. He's really kind of like a New York fop in that sense. Yeah, and he's just kind of up there, like, you know, dancing to YMCA or whatever. Marjorie's not that. No.

Marjorie will crack your skull over. In one August 2017 blog posts, Green promoted the conspiracy theory that claimed that events surrounding the Unite the Right March in Charlottesville were an inside job to further the agenda of the elites. Yeah, I saw George Soros drop by and give him all teaky torches. In that post, Green cited a different blog post from Your Newswire, which is a fake. news website that is most famous for helping spark the Pizagate conspiracy theory in 2016. So she's really dipping into like the worst, most toxic sources that she can possibly use. Green speculated that this agenda included a coordinated war by former President Barack Obama and other Democratic operatives to overthrow Trump from power.

Here's what Green wrote. What would be the agenda of the elites? Hmm. Remember, Barack Obama's roots are in community organizing. As a matter of fact, that's about all he did before he became president. It's also been reported that Obama has an office set up in Washington, D.C. that is being run like a war room with daily meetings. What would they be up to?

I don't know, I guess not speaking out in public against Trump, despite his enormous amount of credibility with a large segment of the population. So, yeah, what's amazing about this is that she's also basically alleging basically an Obama shadow presidency kind of conspiracy theory. Well, he's like, you know, still pulling kind of strings and still kind of like puppet master. Yeah, he has his own little like those tents that you can't penetrate with listening equipment, but he's set up like in the basement of the White House and he's just listening to Trump all day. Green also questioned whether the actions of the white nationalist who rammed his car into 19 people and killed one woman were intentional or not and said that he may have just done this out of fear. Whether this is true or not, it is beyond tragic that James Alex Fields Jr. rammed his car into the crowd killing one and injuring 19 others.

If it was intentional and premeditated, then he deserves to be held accountable. Yet, if this was a reaction out of fear and hitting the crowd was actually an accident, then that changes the narrative of what happened in Charlottesville this past weekend. Classic conspiracist move is like where you obscure the truth by creating a narrative that could be true. and if you don't know anything at all. Or even, I mean, in this kind of case, it wins, it's a win to just even have two sides presented, really. You know what I mean? To just kind of have it be, well, there's this side, but if it's this, it's this. And that already is a pretty big win.

Fields was later convicted of first-degree murder and nine other charges, and he pleaded guilty to 29 federal hate crimes. He was sentenced to life in prison in both federal court and Virginia State Court. Marjorie Taylor Green's work with American truth seekers shows that. that she was into QAnon-style theories before Q made a single drop. Also in August of 2017, she published a post-titled Mueller-impaneled grand jury to go after Clinton. This is the Mueller White Hat theory, which would become popular with some of the earliest Q&N followers. So this also kind of shows how, like, Q really just sort of sucked up the kind of conspiracy

theories that are floating in the conspiracist ecosystem, just like she's doing here. She also promoted Pizsigate conspiracy theories. One article from September of 2017, a month before the first Q drops, is titled Must read, Democratic Party involved with child sex, Satanism, and the occult. Yeah. And honestly, those fucking articles were there in the 80s, too. Yeah, right. Almost word for word.

Burturite papers probably published this exact fucking title. This shit is nonstop in the culture. So she was just enmeshed deeping online conspiracy theory world when Q came around. And as a consequence, she was one of the first adopters of QAnon. She hopped on the Q train in November of 2017, within a month of the arrival of Q on 4chan. According to a video she uploaded to Facebook live that month, she was introduced to QAnon by PizzaGate and Q promoter Liz Croken. And Q is telling us he's an anonymous source and he's on 4chan and more and more people are starting to talk about him. I first heard about him from Liz Croken and just saw some of her post and she's been yelling all along that Mueller is,

a white, wears a white hat. She's been saying all along that he is a good guy in this and he's really going after the swamp creatures and that it's under the geese that he's looking into Trump-Russian collusion. So if she's correct, gosh, she's, you know, she's going to be winning big, so I think that's awesome. She was not correct. In that video, she revealed that she was all in on Q and on, sincerely believing that Q was some kind of insider source. Q is a patriot. He is someone that is very much loves his country, and he's on the same page as us,

and he is very pro-Trump, okay? Now, he appears to have connections at the highest levels, all right? He's posted many things that seem to verify that he is the real deal, all right? So many of, it's not just someone poking in the dark messing with people. It's interesting that she immediately decides Q is he. Oh, of course. And just like, yeah, there's some secret guy. And we don't know that, but it's very problematic of you, Marjorie.

She bought into one popular and totally false claim in Q&N that there are thousands of sealed indictments that are just waiting to be unsealed. And then also the other clue is, which I talked about earlier in this video, is the large number of sealed federal indictments, which is now at 4,289, which is just unheard of. It's such a massive amount. Okay. So now, Q has put out there that many high-level officials will soon be arrested.

And it will actually be the drain-the-swamp scenario that we have always been wanting to happen. So, I mean, what's interesting about that is that she was saying, oh, my gosh, 4,000 sealed indictments. This is before I got to 100,000. And, yes, of course, she's also salivating at the prospect of so many people getting arrested and swept away in the storm. She also referenced a WikiLeaks email in trying to cite evidence of high-level satanic worship. Now, she gets a lot of things wrong about this email, including the name of the person who wrote it. But this is what she claims. Is it true?

Is the type of corruption we're going to see come out? Is it going to be satanic worship that possibly all these people are involved in? I mean, we already saw there was an email came out of the WikiLeaks emails where it was at Cheryl Moles. And she told Hillary Clinton in an email that she was going to sacrifice. a chicken to Moloch in her backyard. Who says that kind of stuff? Like, that's not, nobody says that. But that was proof right there that there's possible satanic worship and maybe that all

these scary things that people talk about on what's considered conspiracy sites and conspiracy theories really may be true. But that's what Q has been telling everyone. I'm going to just say right here. Marjorie, I give permission to all elected officials to partake in only one form of corruption, and that is satanic worship. Worship whatever you want. If you want to sacrifice chickens in your backyard, absolutely go at it. Stop all the rest of the stuff.

That's the problem. You're right, right. As far as all the things that they're accusing people of, they're accusing people of sexually abusing children, but also here she's sort of recoiling at the thought of Killing a chicken? Folks, they hate Christ. Yeah. Folks, you can hurt Christ by killing chickens. It's that easy.

That's why we've set up poultry, poultry farms across the nation to worship Moloch in the utmost style with the smallest possible cages in the most antibiotics. Even though, you're right, there's nothing that wrong about that. She gets everything about that wrong. So the email green references is not from Cheryl Mills. It was actually from a different State Department employee named Lewis Amselam. But she also got the name wrong. She said Moles. All right.

So on top of the wrong person also gets the name wrong. But I can sort of understand why she got confused because the email, if you look at it in WikiLeaks, it was forwarded multiple times. That email from Louis Anselaum was forward from someone named Craig Kelly who forwarded it to Cheryl Mills, who then forwarded it to Hillary Clinton. So just, so it's very confusing. So if you forward this 10 times, you will have great luck in the upcoming days, the federal government apparently. So Absalom did write that line about Moloch, but in context, it's clearly a joke. So what's going on is that he's writing about some diplomatic efforts in Honduras in order to express that he hopes for the best. Amselam writes, with fingers crossed, the old rabbit's foot out of the box in the attic.

I'll be sacrificing a chicken in the backyard to Moloch. A lot of Satanists write like that on tonight. Yeah, right, right. They talk about their lucky rabbit's foot. Yeah, they like to just type it out and say, this is what I'm going to do tonight. I plan on having a Snickers bar. I'm going to kill a Christian. and then I'm going to eat a child.

Also, interestingly, is that today, Lewis Anselaam is a MAGA guy. So on his Twitter bio, he says, proud, deplorable, conservative slash libertarian. So they're accusing a MAGA guy of being a Satanist unwittingly. You're saying they can't reform? If you apologize to Jesus, he'll let it go. Yeah, he'll, he won't care about all the chicken carcasses left in your, you know, left in your compost heap behind the house. as long as you pledge your undying allegiance to Maga and to Trump and to libertarianism, to be perfectly honest.

And to the Christian God. And Christ, you drink his blood, eat his body. Not your version, though. Not that only Old Testament type of God, if you know what I'm saying. Not the kind of just unlucky Jew who was a good carpenter who, you know, found himself with some radical ideas. Yes, that's a good onion article. Unlucky Jew crucified.

Green also echoed the anti-Semitic canards of Q and on, claiming that the Rothschilds and George Soros were the puppet masters of global evil. Something else he has talked about is an interesting triangle. Saudi Arabia, the Rothschilds, and Soros. He says are the puppet masters that fund this global evil. Okay, so I definitely would believe that. You would, yeah. Yeah, you would.

You would believe just about anything. Definitely. So, I mean, I just want to, like, emphasize, like all the things. things that were, I suppose, are like coming out about Marjorie Taylor Green. None of us is new. The anti-Semitism, the defending the white nationalist stuff, the general lunacy, the willingness to believe any conspiracy theory, no matter how poorly evidenced, it was obvious, you know, before she even ran in the primary. In that video, she says that the Q operation is a matter of good versus evil. Now, Q also, now he's on 4chan. You can go there and look at all this stuff

yourself. It's all there. So what is the level of importance of this operation? This level of importance of this operation is good versus evil. And if you've been alive on this earth long enough, you know that good versus evil is real. Okay? It's not just in the movies. It's not in Star Wars. It's real. She gains nothing by this video at this point. This is not a propaganda piece. She's not like trying to run some fucking op. She looks like she said, oh wow, I just discovered this thing and this is fucking so fucked up and oh my god like she's totally out of control and then she gets volition but that's like way further down the line kind of like there's no grab for power here this is a person being pilled because these these stories that she's hearing from qanon

match the stories she's heard growing up in her christian background she's looking around there's christian extremism in the movies there's military extremism in the movies there's all of this worship for a good guy versus bad guy like simplified narratives and she wants to make it real now. Yeah. But you know what's funny is that it's like it's not enough to believe it from the movies which have high

production value, you know, big actors, you know, you know, in some cases, well written dialogue. It's like that got her started but what put her over the edge that all of this is definitively real is like a blurry JPEG on some fucking godforsaken board.

It's like what? The movies weren't good enough But, like, what's really sort of, like, you know, tipped your hat in this direction is, like, the addition to the movie narrative of, like, a very low production, low budget sort of imagery. And by the time she runs, there's no trace of this person. She's not in a discovery phase. She's not learning about the world. She already has a set ideology in point of view, and she is doing pragmatic things to get that done, as well as she's unable to hide that she still is the same person. But it's not the same stage at all. Like, you know, we're not looking right now at de-radicalization of a QAnon believer.

We are looking at an overt fascist that was radicalized through the belief system of Q&N and is now running for government on a valid platform because people want this. Voters want this. They're not horrified by this video. A lot of them are like, well, interesting. I guess she's a bit fringe. Like, that's the general sentiment. You at home, you might be listening and going, it's so obvious to me.

But that's not how most of America grows up. That's not the messages they're receiving. You know, they don't turn on Rachel Maddow. Like, they don't fucking care about any of your worldview. People will vote for her and elect her, and you won't be a part of it. You're not in that discussion. The thing is that is that in America, if we really believe we are a representative democracy, she would be in Congress.

It's a natural outgrowth of the fact that we are representative democracy. And there are people who she represents the kinds of thinking that she represents. Yes, because she wants to unseat the liberals and the Jews, restore the military. She wants to do the actual things. It's no longer about posting for her. She's way beyond any call to action that QAnon would push because Q&N only pushes posting, almost. You know, even when they're talking about moving to action and being soldiers, it's always within the context of just posting. Green also said that Q made her optimistic that Trump would finally bring down the hammer on the global pedophile cabal, which she mispronounces as cable.

Q is anonymous, but he seems to be completely for the good. He seems to be totally on Trump's side, and he seems to be very high up and connected. So because of those things, I'm becoming more hopeful, and I'm not being as pessimistic, and I'm trying to stop saying that's never going to happen, because I really think it might happen. So I'm very excited about that. Now, there's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take this global cable of Satan-worshipping pedophiles out. And I think we have the president to do it. And so I'm very excited about that.

You can tell in her face and her voice that she is, she can't help but let that smile sort of creep on. It brings her true joy thinking that, you know, that, you know, Satan's bedfellow Hillary Clinton is going to, you know, face the rope. And she also describes being pessimistic. Pessimism in this world is not believing there's going to be a military crackdown that cleanses the world of evil and destroys your enemies. So everything you heard there, that's 2017. In 2018, she followed QAnon

promoters on Twitter. For example, when Jordan Saither tweeted a screenshot of a new Q drop on June 3rd, 2018, Green called a particular decode brilliant. And the decode is apparently turning it upside down, and it looks like the words are in the shape

of a gun. This is when, this is when Q got to concrete poetry, started playing with form a little bit. Yeah. Earlier in April of 2012, 2018. She makes reference to a New York woman named Rachel Chandler, who's often falsely accused being involved in the Epstein ring by Q&O followers. In one tweet, Green says, are we confident that Rachel Chandler is going to be investigated? Now, this is really interesting to me because it shows me that, like, she is like deep into like Pete's Gate and QAnon lore. I mean, she's not like a, she's not like a Facebook level casual, right? She's like, she's getting into like the individual storylines. I'm curious if she's ever been on the boards, honestly. I mean, she said go to 4chan. You can. can see it. As if she had done that. That's right. That's right. Yeah. She's been on the boards. She's B-O-B. She might be our first Chan or member of Congress, honestly. Yeah, she's, she does fall

perfectly into the category that we discussed on the previous episode of this kind of lay person who's not necessarily in Chan culture, but is interested in specific ops, like the output of specific ops that are being run on the Chan. And then they come to there. They don't understand the culture. They don't understand, you know, how people lie there, how people build. threads. In fact, they even instantly misinterpret baking and crumbs and stuff like that, which are just misused Chan terms. But they're participating because they're doing videos like this on Facebook. This is the reach. It's the next step. Forchan, then it goes for Chan laymen who are willing to carry it to social media. And then it goes, if you're lucky, media, Fox News.

Media Matters uncovered that in November of 2018, Marjorie Taylor Green promoted the conspiracy theory that wildfires in California were ignited by blue lasers from space. And further, this was part of a plot between the energy company PG&E, then Governor Jerry Brown, and the investing firm Rothschild Inc. The goal of which was to defraud California and clear a path for the proposed high-speed rail project. So this is the famous Jewish space lasers conspiracy theory, which was trending on Twitter for a while. Yeah. Another Facebook post from April of 2018 involves a commenter asking,

now do we get to hang them when speaking about Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton? Green responded. Stage is being set. Players are being put in place. We must be patient. This must be done perfectly or liberal judges would let them off. Islamophobia is also part of the repertoire of bigotries that Marjorie Taylor Green holds. She's got quite a...

Yeah, she's got quite a full. A buffet. She has diverse skill sets, let's say. In 2019, Green visited the U.S. Capitol and falsely claimed that representatives Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, are illegitimate house members because they swore an oath on the Koran. She also unsuccessfully tried to get them to retake their oaths on the Bible. You know, we're going to explain about how you can't swear in on the Koran, and we're going to have the Bible and ask them if they would swear in on the Bible, that we really need them. Yeah, we have the oath. Yeah.

So I think that's important to say that, now they're infringing in our religion, which you should not do. You're infringing on our religion. Yes. By saying that we can't swear it on the law. But when they swore in, it wasn't a law yet, right? At the time they swore in. I don't know. I think at the time they swore in, that wasn't passed.

Because it wouldn't have been passed in a Republican control. Yeah, so it was cast after they swore in. So they're not really official, I don't think. So let's go ask them to swear in. in the Bible. Because like you said, well, I'm... It has to be the Holy Bible? Yeah, it has to be the Bible. Well, the bottom line is Sharia law is not compatible

with America. Yep. That's the bottom line. That's the bottom line. How can you say you represent women, but you support Sharia law? So this is another example, by the way, because there's just a random person dialoguing with her here. Why the dialogue doesn't

work? Because by speaking to her about this of like, hey, why wouldn't you be able to do it on the crime, which is perfectly sensible, but it validates her first point, which is they swore on the Quran, false. And so just by having the conversation, someone overhearing it will be like, well, interesting. I've learned a couple things in two sides to a reality. But the truth is they didn't swear in, and also there is no law saying it has to be on the Bible. Not only that, the Constitution explicitly forbids religious tests for holding office.

This is like one of the things that are baked into the Constitution. It has to be a secular function, right? So, I mean, you're right. She's so far off. And it frustrates me because, like, all these people, they get to sort of, like, you know, act like they are constitutional conservatives. Like, they revere the Constitution. But, like, sort of the liberal, democratic values of the Constitution, they can just ignore, pretend that it doesn't exist because it doesn't fall in line with their Christo-Fascist, basically, a worldview. In 2019, she also visited Washington, D.C., in order to love.

lobby for gun rights. While there, she came across David Hogg, a survivor of the 2018 shooting at Stoman Douglas High School, which killed 17 people and left 17 more injured. David Hogg walked away from her while she chased after him and said that she carried a gun. David, why are you supporting the red flag laws? If there had been, if Scott Peterson, the resource officer at Parkland had done his job, then Nicholas Cruz wouldn't have killed anybody in your high or at least protected them. Why are you supporting red flag gun laws that attack our Second Amendment rights? And why are you using kids to get to, as a barrier? Do you not know how to defend your stance? Look, I'm an American citizen. I'm a gun owner. I have a concealed carry

permit. I carry a gun for protection for myself, and you are using your lobby and the money behind it and the kids to try to take away my Second Amendment rights. You don't have anything to say for yourself? Ugh, Marjorie. No one invited you to the fucking party, Gee. You're a fucking bummer. That's such a bummer video. She has like a nice, like, pink purse, and she's just literally harassing children that have

seen them people shot. Be like, hey, yeah, you watch your classmates get murdered. Like, why are you, I have a gun on me. I have a gun on me. Don't chase children who survive the school shooting and talk about your gun. I feel like, it's not that David Hogg is above, you can criticize them. Just don't chase school shooting victims. Yeah, with guns.

With guns. While telling them you have guns. Like, it's just basic stuff. And also, your purse is nasty, honey. In that same video, she called Hogg a coward and claimed that he was receiving George Soros money. She also says that the children, why are you using children as a barrier? Like, showing exactly what it is. She wants to get something accomplished.

And the poor dead kids were just in the way. Jesus Christ. She really is pure malevolence. That was David Hogue right there. David, we saw him inside the Senate building. He had 30, 30 appointments where you ran around and got to talk to senators. I got to talk to none. None.

He had media coverage all over the place. I had zero. Guess what? I'm a gun owner. I'm an American citizen. And I have nothing. But this guy with his George Soros funding and his major liberal funding has got everything. I want you to think about that.

That's where we are. And he's a coward. She was also still deep into QAnon shit, implying that the members of the gang MS-13 had murdered Democratic staffer Seth Rich. So this is a conspiracy theory that's ripped straight from a cue drop. MS-13, everyone, under Obama came MS-13. There's a lot to that. You have to understand. They have very good, they had very good relationships with MS-13.

MS-13 was basically like, they were kind of the henchmen. of the Obama administration. They did a lot of the dirty work. Seth Rich. Seth Rich was murdered by two MS-13 gang members. That's what I mean by dirty work, okay? She claimed that there was a secret 16-year plan to destroy the country. Again, 100% Q&U.

100% Q&U-N. Language, too. I mean, that's a direct quote from some of the drops. Now, they had a plan. They had a plan. This wasn't an eight-year plan. The radical transformation of America was, not an eight-year plan. It was a 16-year plan. And the plan, the second half of the 16 years, the

next eight years, was supposed to happen under Hillary Clinton. She also promoted the Clinton body count conspiracy theory that Hillary Clinton murdered JFK Jr. in 1999. Now, technically, this conspiracy theory predates Q&N, but it was featured in a Q-Drop, and I believe she probably heard about it from Q&ON. She has to run for Senate, right? So she runs for Senate and New York City. Okay. So she becomes Senator in New York City, and yes, I could dive into Kennedy getting killed in the plane crash because isn't an interesting that he had announced he was going to run for Senate just before he died in a mysterious plane crash. But anyway, so that's another one of those Clinton murders, right? I love this because she goes from a,

isn't that interesting? But then she goes like, but he was murdered by Hillary Clinton. And it's just another one of them Clinton murders. This brings me to Green's turn from being an extremely pilled woman online to becoming a congressional candidate. Marjorie didn't originally run in the 14th District. She actually first campaigned to represent the 6th Congressional District in Georgia, where she originally lived. But then, the representative from the 14th, Tom Graves,

announced that he would not be running for re-election. So Marjorie Taylor Green announced her switch to the 14th District like a week later. This was in December of 2019. This is what they call carpet bagging. Yeah, this is pure carpet bagging. Apparently, but according to state rules, one need only be a resident of the state of Georgia

to run in any district, so this was allowed. Mr. Construction Daddy, I will have one house, please. The 14th district is fairly new. It's a portion of rural northwest Georgia, and it was created as part of a redistricting plan formed after the 2010 census.

Now, there are lots of reasons why it is a solidly Republican district. 85% of the 14th, approximately 700,000 residents are white. Around 15% have graduated from college and most earn well below the national median income. The vast majority adhere to some version of Protestant Christianity. Three quarters of the district's residents voted for Donald Trump in 2016, and more than 6,000 once signed an online petition to save a local statue of Nathan Bedford Forrest, who was most famous for being the first grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan.

Many politically active citizens in the area identify as Tea Party Republicans. During the Republican primary campaign, her main competition was the neurosurgeon John Cowan. But she had the advantage of having a better social media game and more money. Green gave roughly a million dollars to her campaign, and she also got crucial support from the House Freedom Fund, which has ties to Jim Jordan, one of Trump's most prominent allies in Congress, into Mark Meadows, who was then Trump's chief of staff. It was during this primary campaign that Green aired her most famous ad.

It depicts her driving into an open field in a Hummer pickup truck, mounting an AR-15 rifle on the bed, and then shooting words which state things that she hates. I'm running to stop gun control. Open borders. The Green New Deal. and socialism. Democrats fight for their socialist agenda every single day. I'll fight even harder to stop them.

I'm Marjorie Green, Republican for Congress. Save America, stop socialism. Now, her primary opponent, Dr. John Cowen, actually also shoots a gun in one of his television campaign ads, but he only shoots it once. And he shoots it at COVID-19, which it really doesn't have the same. same punch. I'm John Cowan. I operate on brains and backs. Helping President Trump defend our God-given rights is not brain surgery, but deranged Democrats and weak Republicans just don't get it. I can't give them brain transplants or a stiffer spine, but I'll help President Trump build that

wall, protect our values, and stop Nancy Pelosi from ever getting her hands on this. I'm John Cowen and I approve this message. He's like, I'm I'm a doctor, but I'm dumb as rocks. Don't worry. Don't feel threatened by my enormous brain. So, I mean, yeah. He shot like a little plastic virus, like. Yeah, they're shooting toys.

They did a little, they made a little COVID virus out of looks like plastic cups. It's green. And I mean, this. Did you see the recent article with this guy explaining how he's horrified at what happened with Marjorie? Yeah, I'm sure. Yeah, but please. hey, liberal media, welcome this guy to the resistance. I mean, this sounds good.

I mean, here's the funny thing. I mean, it's like, this guy is like just as much of a lunatic as Marjorie and Taylor Green, but that maybe not quite as much, but the problem is that he's like educated. He's a neurosurgeon. He's an elite. And he, what, he shoots COVID-19. People aren't, these people aren't scared of

COVID-19. They only think it's real. So in your ad, you're basically bragging about how you're solving a problem that they don't even want to acknowledge exists. Cowan's campaign, slow Logan was all of the conservative, none of the embarrassment. And this is true. I mean, this is like, this is like, again, I think a real misreading of the, of the fine people of Georgia's 14th district because it implies that they're capable of embarrassment or there's something to be embarrassed about in Marjorie Taylor Green. Right. They don't want to hear that like the way she behaves is somehow shameful. They don't want to acknowledge, you know, shame exists. They want to just go all out and just be pure aggression. And that's why she won. She won. Green kept pushing the envelope. with her ads. During the campaign, she posted a picture of herself holding a rifle next to images of Congress members Omar, Tlaib, and Ocasio-Cortez. In the ad were the words,

We need strong conservative Christians to go on the offense against the socialists who want to rip our country apart. This is clear, holy war bullshit. Like white nationalist, I mean, it's ugly. The post was subsequently removed by Facebook for violating the platform's policy against inciting violence. But this is what the people wanted, and unsurprisingly, the green absolutely trounce Cowan in the primary election in August, winning 60% of the vote. Trump tweeted out his congratulations, calling her a future Republican star, I think quite accurately. Yikes. By winning the primary means she had the congressional seat in the bag, but it seems as though

Republican leadership recognized that her Q&M passed was a liability, let's say. So they tried to get her to renounce Q&N during an interview with Fox Nation, which is their streaming service. But I don't think they really did a successful job. They couldn't really pry it out of her. In the interview, she looks very uncomfortable. She's like in the corner of looks like a shed or something. Yeah, very strange. It's very strange.

They put her in a portal potty as a timeout. Exactly. And they're like, are you ready yet for the interview where you say you've done a bad thing? So I think exactly. I think that she just being defensive and sort of apologizing or reflecting is not her natural state. She's pure aggression, forward, forward, forward. So in this state where she has to like acknowledge that she believes something was wrong, She's never done it once in her life, I bet.

During that interview, she says that she didn't talk about Q&N during her campaign. I think that's been the media's characterization of me. Never once during my campaign did I ever speak about Q&N or Q. I mean, that's true. That's true. She didn't talk about, but that's not our announcement of Q&O. That's just a strategic choice that her campaign made. She also, during the interview, says that she chose a different path.

Very vague. I had posted, talked about, talked about on video, things that I had seen on Q. But really, really what made me change my mind is as a person that's worked hard all my life, I decided I chose a different path. And that's where I came to the place where I decided to run for Congress because I was so disappointed in seeing Congress fail to do these things that they should be doing for the American people. I was so sorry to see them fail at due. She's doing QAnon, essentially.

It's pretty simple. She is now more powerful than Q. She has no need for it. She's severing the umbilical tie. And she's going on her own. She's saying, I can make these claims. I have a better platform now. But she's not even severing the cord.

All she's saying is like, listen, I posted about Q and now I'm running for Congress. She's just telling her life story. She's still the exact child of her father, Q. Right. But she's like independent and rebellious now. You know, she's like, no, no, no. I'm doing it better than you, actually. When asked about misinformation, she's,

saw from Q and on, she mentions that Q predicted that the midterms were safe in 2018. And she believed that this was a prediction that the Republicans would retain control of Congress, which of course they didn't. But then the midterms, you know, it was the midterms

are safe, midterms weren't safe and Republicans lost control of the House. And now we have just seen non-stop divisiveness in Congress because Nancy Pelosi led the Democrats to impeach Trump in the House of Representatives and the trial in the Senate. And to me, that was infuriating. And

it's wrong. Again, that's not a denouncement of QAnon. Like, acknowledging misinformation from a particular source isn't a denouncement of that source. And in fact, even dedicated Q&O followers, believe that misinformation is necessary. So nowhere in this interview did she denounce QAnon. And I want to emphasize this, partly because sometimes when, sometimes reporters, when they ask the office of Marjorie Taylor Green about her Q&O, beliefs. Her spokespeople say that she has renounced Q&ON or she's left Q&N behind. And then the reporters, they print this and they don't like, you know, push it any further, like asking her like when, when was, did this renouncement come? In fact,

she continued to promote Q&ON after the midterms. Like she referenced QDrops. She actually references one Q&Drop that says 5347, which a lot of QN followers thought was a prediction of like the outcome of the Senate. So, so she was not disillusioned with Q&ON because of the midterm elections. There's no evidence of this. There's no evidence of her denouncing Q&O. In fact, actually, after she was elected, she promoted an article from Andrew Torba, the CEO of Gab, which is totally pro-QAnon and like endorsed its content.

So that was just like a couple months ago. So if you see in an article that says that she has left QAnon behind or that this is something part of her past, it's a lie. And if you should bully any reporters who print that because it's just not true. Please don't bully reporters. After she won her primary, there was still technically one person standing in her way to Congress. Her Democratic challenger, Kevin Van Osdahl. At the time, Van Osdahl was a 35-year-old IT professional with no political experience.

And he seems like a decent guy. We actually talked to him on the Twitch stream during the campaign. A Washington Post report tells the story of his brief 31-day-long campaign. Unlike Green, Van Osdahl is not a wealthy person. He actually used his IRS refund in order to pay the $5,000 filing fee to run for Congress. Van Oswald wanted to focus his campaign on civility and the ideal of the American dream. He wanted to connect with voters telling his personal story of struggling, rising to the middle of class. But it became increasingly clear that they couldn't ignore Marjorie Taylor Green's insane behavior,

so his campaign staff encouraged him to take a firmer stand and call out Green directly. The Washington Post documented an really amazing exchange between Kevin Van Osdahl and his deputy campaign manager, Ruth Demeter. In it, the deputy campaign manager is helping Van Osdell rehearse a draft statement condemning Green's rhetoric, and she is trying to encourage him to be mad, which is apparently difficult for him because in his professional life, he's accustomed to diffusing conflict, which makes sense. Normally, in our everyday situations, we want to get along with people. So he has to, you know, be coached a little bit, seeming angry. I want to act out this exchange.

So Julian, so in this dialogue, could you play the campaign manager and Jake, could you be Kevin Van Osdahl? Sure. Okay. I want you to breathe deeply. A lot of your tonality will have to go down. There will be times when you're speaking about what Marjorie is done and you'll be angry. You'll need to be angry. So talk to me about the things about Marjorie that are dangerous and embarrassing and appear to disregard the 14th District.

Okay, well, it's really just the fear-mongering. It's defining us. I don't think I ever told you this, but I said to a preacher early on, you know, Jesus wants us to come together and love each other regardless of our beliefs. So when we're fanning the flames of fear and violence... Okay, I love fanning the flames of fear, but Kevin, I'm going to tell you something right now that's really hard. This statement's about reaching people in the middle and a lot of them are Republicans. For them, the language about love and peace is bad, or just not in their wheelhouse. It's got to be... This has got to stop. I'm calling this out. Okay. Try that. Enough is enough, line. Enough is enough.

Wait, enough is enough. Oh, I love that. Okay, I'm not going to act like this is a normal election. Oh, that's really good. Enough is enough. I can't, I can't. This thing is so amazing. Van Osdahl is like, oh, yo, Jesus and peace and love is like, okay, that's not going to work.

No, cut that bullshit out. No, right now. The Jesus that these people want is the one that hangs, their enemies from a stick. If Jesus ever saw Marjorie, you fucking shoot that bitch out the sky with a bazooka. That's right, Kevin. Come on.

A little more anger in your voice. I will personally murder Marjorie Taylor Green with a hatchet. Too much, too much, Kevin, too much. While Kevin was practicing saying enough is enough with sufficient anger, Marjorie was on Facebook calling him a radical Democrat socialist communist. So the rage poured out of her naturally

because she had spent years absorbing it through online conspiracist culture. On Kevin's Facebook videos, people left messages like, The only good Democrat is a dead Democrat. The pressure of campaigning against a bona fide lunatic took a toll on his marriage, and on day 28th of the campaign, a sheriff's deputy knocked on his door

and served him a petition for divorce, included in order she had obtained requiring him to leave the house immediately. On the 31st and final day of his campaign, he drove his Honda to live with his parents in Indiana, and his campaign staff issued a statement announcing that he would have to withdraw from the race. While going for a walk around his old neighborhood, Kevin Van Osdahl reflected to the Washington Post

about how he got there. I wanted to be the voice of reason against fear. I wanted to draw attention to big issues in the district. My opponent, unfortunately, embraced QAnon beliefs. I saw her disgusting comments. I thought, she's basically talking like a terrorist. When I had to do that statement, I was scared. I'm being told I need to make a direct attack on groups who respond to people with violence

who glorify violence. My staff had monitored back channels and seen where Q people were making threats and we talked about what to do about death threats. I felt out of control. I had no control. I felt unreal. I didn't know what to do with myself

in the quiet. I felt uneasy. I felt I was on the rails and floating through. I was breaking down. I was just broken. I've really not been eating. I've been sleeping a lot, avoiding news. I blocked anyone talking ill about me.

One or two said they want to punch me in the face. I'm worried the political citizens. situation is not going to get better. I worry we may not be able to turn it around. I knew Trump was a fascist and I knew he was going to destroy this country, but I didn't know how much and Marjorie's only going to make it worse. I'm trying to stay away from it. Heartbreaking what happened to this guy. His mistake was like, you know, having a sense of like optimism and then running against this person and just you're right. It hurt him. He gained nothing from this. It doesn't help that they literally lost everything it sounds like. They fucking gerrymandered that state until

was a fucking, like, hate cudgel that they could just arm and, like, aim at the electoral college. With Van Osdahl out, that essentially meant Green could just cruise the victory unopposed. After she won the election, she immediately went to work trying to cast doubt on the democratic process. Those were the same ballots that elected her. I just want to point that out. She's making conspiracy theories about the thing that made her win. It's whole, it's totally absurd. I mean, it's, I mean, the thing is that Trump really pioneered this, honestly. Yes, right. Yeah. he, when he won and he said, like, actually, he's all fraudulent. The election you won is fraudulent?

Yeah. Like, like, but, yeah, but it proved that this is a, I guess, a successful way. Because it's a way to be anti-democratic because these people don't really believe in democracy, but also exploit democracy. Yeah. And also the victim position they know is the most powerful one. In fact, we just examined how that's so with the Christchurch inquiry episode with Annie. Yeah.

So they know very well that there's no point looking like the agreement. You always want to be in a victim state. Marjorie ran Twitter videos that insisted that the election was fraudulent and then Trump actually won. This is Marjorie Green. The American people re-elected President Trump. But Democrats want to steal this election with fake mail-in ballots, dead people voting, hidden vote counting, and rigged rules. And if they get away with it now, they'll steal two Senate seats in January. Joe Biden's agenda in the filibuster at new Democrat states

pack the Supreme Court and then it's all over. Rep 4 and then it's all over. We see kind of like a hybrid American China flag. Look under your seats, America. Everyone gets an abortion. Since being elected, Marjorie seems to be more interested in conducting outrageous stunts than actually legislating.

Notably, her election spent $207,000 to advertise on the currently down conservative social media site parlor, like after she's won. Weird to keep spending campaign money after you've won an election. It's almost like, yeah, the platform was always just a means. Yes, exactly. Absolutely. So apparently Green's parlor spending was earmarked as digital advertising for fundraiser. So she was basically taking advantage of stop the steal saying that the election. is being stolen and you need to give me money to help fight it.

But she also knows that she wants a position as one of the most visible faces in the Republican caucus because they're not going to just give that to her. She's going to have to earn that with the media and they have to play an active role. And you've already described how they are. So good. Marjorie also filed articles of impeachment against Joe Biden on January 21st. Okay, zero chance of success. But it's not the point.

Like she understood quite correctly that this is something that's going to generate headlines. Yeah. And she's also doing the Trump thing of never stop fundraising, never stop advertising, like kind of always be running. Over the past few weeks, lots of new comments made by green have been uncovered, but like, honestly, who gives a shit? It's like the same shit over and over again. She's super pill. She's anti-Semitic. And she just absorbs and spits out every conspiracy theory.

As a consequence, 50 Democratic Congress members have called for her expulsion and two have actually called for her censure. Now, expulsion requires two thirds of the vote. So that is 100% not going to happen. maybe she'll get censured if they get every dem on board but that will do nothing she'll probably frame that and then use it in campaign ads. Yeah 100%. Even if they

don't like QAnon they're not going to give up a fucking seat. Republicans Oh, of course not. Ruthless. No, no, no, no, no. And it's a no brainer for them because QAnon policy directly overlaps with Republican policy. I mean, there's a couple more fantastical elements but they believe

the same things to some degree. It's actually they also know that it's going to be useful in, because they actually want to negotiate as opposed to the Democrats who just negotiate with themselves and come with something after, they come negotiating. And the way they do that is they push the Overton window of the entire kind of dialogue by having someone like Marjorie go up and be like, we should execute every Jew. And then it's like, let's just settle for making the NRA the new president. Okay. And it's like Democrats, okay, you know, that's what it is. It's very useful to have extremists. The only people who don't allow like

extremists at all, or what they consider extremists, which is really just anybody left of center, are the Democrats because they don't actually want to change the Overton window. That's not one of their projects in any way. In fact, they're almost incredibly naive for sentient adults. Well, and we've seen that over these last few years, is the extreme far right taking hold of the Republican Party has pulled Democrats further to the right. And the places in which we are arguing from now is from almost a barely- left of center, you know, sort of point of view. And, and people get angry at you if you bring that up. I mean, it's, we are letting people like Marjorie Taylor Green and Donald Trump

control the limits of, of our demands as, as Democrats, liberals, progressives, whatever you, you know, whatever you want to call yourself. I think the political spectrum of the dialogue right now is between Reaganism, kind of a classic 80s Reaganism and far right like neo-Nazi conspiracy theory. Those are the two things like the two like which one should it be. So which brings me to the topic of the future for Marjorie Taylor Green. Now here's the thing about her is that she, as much as she is a lunatic, she understands basically the media environment, right? She can withstand any amount of attacks, you know, calling her names and pointing out the stuff that she, you know, has believed before.

That doesn't hurt her. She loves it. She absorbs hate. She thrives on hate, right? She spits it right back at people. She loves to get in the scrap with everyone except for me for some reason. But one day, one day I'm going to get into a Twitter scrap. I mean, here's, I guess, the conundrum.

I guess we face with Marjorie Taylor Green. Like attacking her and calling her out for what she is only strengthens her. So, I mean, so how do you, so normally you think like, well, let's, let's, you know, let's turn up the heat on her, you know, in terms of like the media, in terms of like how we talk about her. Let's talk about how extreme she is. That's not going to do anything. Like the Republicans in Congress, they're fine with her, but then Republicans will censure someone like, I guess, like Liz Cheney or something for denouncing Trump. Like, like, so they, I mean, so they're not going to touch her at all. And then the attacks from the Democrats or the media don't only strengthen her.

So what are you left with? How do you possibly solve a problem like Marjorie? That's a really good question. And I don't think it can be solved essentially, like you were saying, by. posting by writing articles by like putting her in the spotlight or in the limelight because the limelight is completely fused to entertainment and all of these other things so like you said she just make her bigger she's like a fucking streamer who's toxic you just keep she's just like people love to hate or they love to love and if you're going to be hating her along lines of like

uh-huh like jewish space lasers like you're making her a meme that meme will carry that will carry her i'm not saying don't fucking joke about space lasers or whatever i'm not trying to say that My point is, you can't solve this within the spectacle. I hate to bring that fucking thing up again. But everything can be absorbed by it. And you're seeing it. It makes it more powerful. I mean, yeah, it's like, but at the rate, things are going.

Because, like, again, she has not even been in office for a month right now. And she is a star. Yeah. You know, I mean, she is, she really, I genuinely believe that if Trump doesn't run in 2024, she's the number one candidate. Yeah, she'll certainly run. And then we'll see what happens. It'll be a fascinating moment. And by that, I mean.

It'll be our final moments. As a podcast for sure, I mean, you don't think you're going to be the first executed. I assume. I assume this is what's going to kill me. She's just going to send. If I could be killed by Marjorie Taylor Green with that AR-15, she's shot in that ad. Oh, that would be a fit again to this project. One day they're going to find the email that she sends, and it's just a list of everybody that she blocked and muted,

and she sent that straight to the death squads. So for this week's sample from the Rakatansky files, I uncovered a strange, a canceled video game, actually, that was supposed to come out this year, but I guess because of poor reception to the last installment, it was canceled early on, but it was clear that the game designers had taken an interest in politics, and it's a little bit more reflected in this sort of iteration in different ways than in past. I'm looking at it, and it's not really the format of a video game, seems more like a kind of radio play. Yeah, well, I basically just, I played the game, I played the game and then kind of, um, just sort of wrote my experience playing in and try to translate it as... So you didn't find it, you wrote it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I wrote the experience of me playing this canceled game that nobody...

Which exists. Yeah, so without further ado, I bring you... Metal Gear, Travis. Travis Snake moved quietly, efficiently, down the long metal corridor. In his wake lay a trail of pro-QAnon influencers. Their metaphorical neck snapped in two after Snake had pointed out some significant flaws in their reasoning. Footsteps.

Yes, finally a good roast of Travis' story. Footsteps. He hugged the wall. The cold steel grasping at him through his tactical suit, his finger hovering carefully over the trigger of his silent Socom USP-45 pistol. A guard casually slipped by. In their cone of vision, Snake could see a myriad of parlor tweets from Psycho Wood and off his rocker attorney well-versed in ludicrous propaganda. The guard didn't even hear Travis coming.

In lightning quick fashion, he placed his hands around the guard's neck, whipped out his phone, and tweeted a screenshot of the nonsense with devastating commentary and near-perfect precision. Merrill winced as the snap of the brittle vertebrae echoed down the cold, empty corridor. That's the last of them. You really are a true soldier, Snake. Snake nodded as he scanned his inventory. Then produced a pack of cigarettes, raised one to his lips, and lit it.

He watched unaffected as his HP ticked down bit by bit. The sweet smoke filled his lungs before being exhaled with a heavy sigh, where it hung like a mist in the empty corridor. We have to warn the others. We're running out of time. Travis Snake had been on the battlefield most of his life. In his younger years, he had survived brutal firefights with young Earth creationists, forums upon forums, message boards upon message boards, all festering with the stench of.

blood, death. In the following years after serving with the Green Berets, Snake had become a specialist in tactical replies and was deployed on hundreds of battlefields. This new enemy, however, the sons of Big Boss Baby, they called themselves, proved to be a tricky foe, despite their almost complete departure from reality. It had not been his decision to embark on this mission. He would have preferred someone a little younger, with more training, someone more equipped than a skeptical old soldier to tackle this new breed of enemy. But alas, not a single one of his peers had raised their hand when Colonel Campbell had asked their team to create a fake Twitter account

condemning the ex-Foxound operative known as QAnon. Now he was stranded in this hellhole, while some geek with glasses and an impressive array of professional recording equipment piped in suggestions through his headset. Snake glanced over at Merrill. She'd grabbed the fallen guard's sidearm and was pulling the slide back, ensuring a round was chambered. Snake, she whispered. Let's go.

The pair rounded a corner into a large wide hallway with an exposed second level. Rusty metal railings ran from end to end beside large metal pillars that reach from floor to ceiling. Travis Snake stopped dead in his tracks. A single red laser beam stretched across the hallway from an unidentified contact. Snake watched in horror as the beam traveled down Merrill's body

and centered on the text on her t-shirt. It read, Socialism. A single bullet rang out, striking the hated word and lodging itself into Meryl's side. She gasped in pain and collapsed to the ground. Snake catapulted himself behind one of the columns, trying to find a way to reach his friend. But the sniper had them pinned. The high-caliber bullets whizzing by his head made it nearly impossible for Snake to reach Meryl.

His heart sank as the blood drained from her body. Meryl! Snake cried. He needed to be sure she was even alive. Snake! Meryl cried weakly. Guess. I'm a rookie, after all. He could tell her breathing was becoming labored.

Time was running out. He had to think quick. Don't worry, Merrill. It's me they want. Snake exclaimed, trying to reassure his wounded friend. Even I know that, she replied faintly. It's the oldest trick in the book. The sniper is using me for bait to lure you out. Snake knew she was right. But that was good, he thought.

In order for the bait to work, it needed to stay alive. It could buy Merrill some time. He glanced down in his mini-map, jammed. Merrill was losing more blood by the minute, her voice shaking, her words no longer making sense. I was a fool. I wanted to be a reply guy. Her voice began to falter, tears streamed down the side of her face. But Twitter, Twitter is ugly.

There's nothing glorious about it. As Merrill began to weep, Travis Snake could hear a dull ringing in the background. It was getting louder and louder. Snake, save yourself! yourself don't forget me the ringing was louder now almost deafening snake snapped out of it the sound had been reverberating from his transponder which was glowing a bright yellowish green with an incoming transmission he clicked the radio on a gruff voice squawked through from the other end it was colonel snake it's a trick the sniper is trying to lure you out don't fall for it a female's voice

naomi patched in through the comms interrupting the colonel it must be sniper wolf taylor green Foxhound's best shooter. I know her. She can wait for hours, days, weeks to unblock you. It doesn't matter to her. Rumor has it, she's just as strong as you are, Snake. Maybe stronger. I've heard she uses everyday hotel furniture to exercise her muscles.

The colonel pipe back up. If Wolf Taylor Greene is in the communications tower, she can see you perfectly. It's the classic sniper's position. You're going to do. need a sniper rifle. The comms channel blipped again. This time, the soft face of a feminine man wearing glasses, his hair shaved into a mullet, filled the screen.

Snake held a glove finger to his earpiece. Giulienticod, what have you got? Snake, I've located a sniper rifle in one of the garage hangers. If you can get to it, you just might have a chance. Snake gritted his teeth and unfashioned his pistol from the utility holster. I'm on my way. Travis Snake kicked off the wall, sliding backwards across the cold steel floor, firing a couple suppressing shots.

He pulled himself through a doorway at the south end of the corridor, the sniper's bullets ricocheting off the edge of the doorframe. Snake moved like a python through the hallways of the underground base, his head on a swivel, his torso rotating systematically as he scanned each hallway for guards. He was nearly to the garage when a hand lashed out from one of the hallway doors, grabbing Snake's Socombe pistol and trying to yank it from his hands. Snake quickly zeroed in on the guard. He was substantially shorter than the rest of the regime and noticeably more out of breath. In the struggle, his mask was pulled off, revealing a sweaty, desperate-looking Rudy Giuliani, who was attempting to discharge a last gasp of election conspiracy theory, firing two empty shots into a nearby crate of oranges. Travis mashed the circle button, sending Snake into an elaborate cata, complete with a spinning

roundhouse that sent the guard flying into a shelf. He raised his so calm and fired off two scathing replies, causing the guard to slump over. Watermelons from the shelf above bounced out of their crate, pelting the guard over and over again. Snake waited a beat to make sure no one had heard the struggle before continuing down the hallway towards the garage. As he entered through a side door, his heart sank. About 50 guards were gathered in the cluttered garage

listening to a commanding officer lecture them about why GAB would be the weapons manufacturer of the future. But then Snake remembered something. He scrolled through his inventory until his cursor hovered over a cardboard box. He quickly slipped inside it and shuffled across the floor, edging closer to the exposed weapons crate. With a careful hand, he reached. reached out from under the worn edge of the box and grabbed a PSG-1 sniper rifle and a handful

of diazepam. He would need it to keep his hands from shaking with rage. Once out of the garage, a full magazine jutting out from the bottom of his PSG-1, Travis Snake carefully made his way back to where Merrill had been wounded. To his surprise, her body was gone. A trail of blood streaked across the ground. With the rifle raised, Snake slowly made his way down the large corridor following the trail. ended at a large steel door on the other end of the hallway.

Sniper Wolf Taylor Green was nowhere to be seen. With a heavy push, Snake opened the door, his face instantly stung by the freezing sleep pouring down from a stormy sky. All he could see was white droves of snow covering the ground. A spot of blood. The trail continued. He took a careful step when... Blam!

A sniper shot rang out. Snake dove behind one of the tall snowdrifts. Through the scope of his rifle, he finally saw her. A poised woman wearing a very affluent looking ski bunny jacket, lining her hood was no doubt real animal fur. She called out to Travis Snake from across the field. Travis Snake, you were a fool to come back here. I am sniper wolf Taylor Green, and you are my special prey.

You think you could possibly remind people just how much crazier I was two years ago? I laugh at your naivete. No one will remember that scared, frightened woman. Only the assassin I have become. Would you like to die now or after your lady friend? Snake hesitated for a moment. He tightened his hand to run the grip of the rifle. I'll die after you unblock me.

Snake sprung out, popped at Diasopam, and centered his sights on sniper wolf Taylor Green. A shot rang out and careened off a metal post missing its target. Damn. Snake yelled. All of a sudden, a flurry of poorly sourced and offensively racist tweets exploded from the barrel of Taylor Green's freakishly large rifle. One of the bullets struck Snake in the side, piercing his Kevlar. He was pinned. She was too fast, too powerful.

Snake looked on in horror as his own blood began to stain the surrounding snow. If only Merrill were here to provide some sort of distraction, anything to get Taylor Green to take her sights off him for a millisecond. And then, he thought of something. He scanned through his inventory once again hovering over the cardboard box. He equipped it and began tearing it into individual squares. Using the blood from his wound, he began to write large words on each cardboard sheet. Words he didn't think sniper wolf Taylor Green would like.

Words like Open Borders, Green New Deal, and gun control. He darted across the field, planting each sign in the ground. It worked. He could hear Taylor Green seething with anger as she took aim at the words she didn't like and began blasting each piece of cardboard one by one. Now was his chance. Snake raised the PSG-1, took aim, and fired a single lawsuit. out of the barrel of the rifle,

firmly hitting Sniper Wolf Taylor Green square in the chest. She fell backwards, dropping her rifle. Snake approached her cautiously. She was breathing heavy. Her rifle, a couple of yards away. I have been waiting for this moment. The life of a sniper. Always waiting.

She coughed a couple of times. I was born on the battlefield. Pain and suffering were my parents. Snake looked incredulous. I don't think that's true. Aren't you from Millageville? Pretty nice down there. Green continued, not listening to Snake whatsoever.

Each day, I would wake up wondering which of my friends had been murdered by illegal immigrants. Snake again rolled his eyes. I don't think that's true either. She continued, it wasn't until he saved me. He made me a sniper. Snake looked down at his watch. This was dragging on. You mean big boss, baby?

Donald John, yes, he took care of me, nurtured me. Now I could see war not from the outside. But from the inside, I was able to hone my skills, be the killer I had always known I was capable of becoming. But I have brought great shame to my people, having to unblock you. It tortures me. Her breathing slowed even further. I have been waiting for someone like you.

my whole life, someone to challenge me, to be the first in my mentions, reminding me of the crazy things I said only a short while ago. Please reply to me one last time. Set me free. Unsolved mystery. Who exactly designed the logo for Marjorie Taylor Green's old conspiracy theory website which depicts a swall anthropomorphic bald eagle wearing a skippy tank top and camo pants i have a feeling the furry cut i have a feeling the furry art community might have some leads and with that she was gone the snow drifted down from the now peaceful sky landing gently on the fallen sniper having honored her enemy's First Amendment writes, she had finally found what she'd been searching for all these years.

It's not a conspiracy, it's fact. And now, today's auto queue. Last night, the House voted to remove Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green, of her committee assignments. All Democrats and 11 Republicans voted for the measure because of Green's past embracing of conspiracy theories. Before that vote, the Congresswoman told the House she no longer holds some of those extreme views and now believes school shootings and the 9-11 attacks were real. CBS News is Deborah Al-Faron takes a look at how the lawmaker is reacting

today. Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green blasted third. Thursday's House vote, removing her from the education and budget committees. They actually stripped my district of their voice. They stripped my voters of having representation to work for them. Eleven Republicans joined Democrats in the unprecedented rebuke of the freshman from Georgia for her past comments espousing conspiracy theories. Some she tried to walk back ahead of Thursday's vote. School shootings are absolutely real.

911 absolutely happened.
