"QAnon terminology and hashtags

Adrenochrome: chemical compound that forms by the oxidation of adrenaline, the stress hormone. QAnon believers claim the sex-trafficking cabal is harvesting this substance from the blood of children.

Breadcrumbs/bakers: the cryptic posts that Q makes are known as “breadcrumbs” (aka Q drops) and the people who try to figure them out are known as “bakers.”

Deep state: QAnon adherents believe a secret parallel government that has been in existence for years runs the world and is currently trying to undermine President Trump. According to QAnon lore, former president Reagan was shot by the deep state and every president since with the exception of Trump is a deep state agent.

Enjoy the show: rallying cry and also a favorite phrase used by Q that is a reference to an approaching apocalypse.

Nothing can stop what’s coming: phrase that references the judgment day soon to come on the deep state.

The Great Awakening/#thegreatawakening: another QAnon slogan referring to when elites will be routed and “the truth” about the deep state will be revealed.

#SaveTheChildren/#SaveOurChildren: hashtags that started out as a legitimate campaign against child trafficking that were hijacked by QAnon followers in August 2020. QAnon adherents used the hashtag in recruiting attempts and rallies, calling for people to save children from the pedophile cabal QAnon claims exists.

The storm: phrase derived from a comment President Trump made in October 2018 with regard to a military dinner he was having. The comment was “the calm before the storm” (CBTS). QAnon followers believe the storm is a coming series of mass arrests – a judgment day – that will destroy the deep state (see above).

Trust the plan: phrase in which believers are told to trust that everything President Trump does is part of a master plan to destroy the deep state.

White hat/black hat: in the QAnon universe, supporters of President Trump in the government are white hats while those who do not support him are black hats.

White rabbit: term referencing Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland” used by QAnon adherents to discuss the path of information they are following, including the hidden truths and signals they believe exist related to the pedophile network and Donald Trump’s role in bringing it down.

WWG1WGA/WWG1WGAWORLDWIDE: “Where we go one, we go all.” Rallying cry for QAnon supporters. Although the quote is originally from the 1996 Jeff Bridges sailing adventure movie “White Squall,” adherents wrongly attribute it to President John F. Kennedy. QAnon supporters believe JFK was about to reveal the existence of a secret government when he was assassinated. Many currently believe that John F. Kennedy Jr. faked his death in a plane crash and will soon emerge to either become Q or team up with Trump."

"What You Need To Know About QAnon

QAnon believers falsely claim the cabal is abducting children to kill them and harvest their blood for a chemical known as adrenochrome, which is used to extend their lives. This belief is a centuries-old antisemitic trope based on the falsehood of Blood Libel, in which a cabal of Jews kidnaps and murders Christian children. QAnon’s claims of pedophilia and one of its latest campaigns, #SaveTheChildren/#SaveOurChildren, relies on a slogan that has been used for decades as an anti-LGBTQ dog whistle to paint LGBTQ people as a danger to children, usually through pedophilia."

The “Midway Grille” in Coatesville PA and surrounding sidewalks has been a drug selling hotspot for decades.

Vehicle traffic slows when drugs are in. Selling was obvious until the cameras were put up.

A few years ago a man from outside Coatesville was hired to supervise at the Midway restaurant. He came to my home and spoke about it:

He told a guy selling H inside the Midway to take that outside. The seller put a gun in his face. He left that job a few weeks later. He took his wife & children out of Coatesville. 

This was back when Harry Walker was city manager, Matthews was PD chief and Richard Legree was chair of Chester County Republican Area 14. I watched Richie and Harry Walker outside Coatesville City Hall taking cigarette breaks many times. 

Back then drug sellers in Coatesville would immediately know if you went to the DA in West Chester. 

Now that Democrats control ChesCo government I think most links between Coatesville sellers & people working in the West Chester courthouse are severed. 

I worked with a DOJ intelligence officer at the time.

For some people I was a conduit that could take people with information safely outside of the corruption in Chester County.

"COATESVILLE — Four men were arrested and warrants were issued for eight more in connection with a large-scale drug dealing ring operating in the heart of Coatesville last year and earlier this year.

Coatesville detectives began the investigation in 2019 following reports of a drug-dealing operation in the 700 block of East Lincoln Highway. Police investigators set up controlled buys and various amounts of cocaine were sold to undercover officers. The investigation targeted 18 people and resulted in development of criminal-related intelligence, arrests, warrant arrests and cultivation of confidential informants.

Several of the drug-dealing investigations were hampered by the pandemic, but are still currently active, authorities said.

'The Coatesville Police Department prides itself on being responsive to the citizens we serve," said Coatesville Police Chief Jack Laufer. "Directed patrol and investigations based upon complaints and information received from our citizens is an effective way to address issues that affect everyday life for our residents. This was the genesis for targeting street level drug dealers in the area of the 700 Block of East Lancaster Highway. The announced arrests are the result of these enforcement efforts but not the end. Investigations continue, and we will always focus on improving the quality of life in Coatesville as we partner with the rest of the City Government to encourage revitalization efforts throughout our downtown business district.”

Her (Lisa Johnson's) crack cocaine” trial is continued to September 27, 2010. John Tinson, a City of Coatesville Codes Officer, was arrested on similar charges and his trial was also continued until September 27, 2010.

Tinson allegedly, as of July 31st , is no longer on the City payroll. Johnson's employment seems to be up to the “House Republican Caucus”. Hmmm. doesn’t her paycheck say “Commonwealth of Pennsylvania” at the top? I am well aware of what the Daily Local News article below says about Tinson's employment status.

Lisa Johnson presided as Judge of Elections in Coatesville’s Fifth Ward in the Primary Election on Tuesday, May 18, 2010. Although Ms. Johnson is charged with multiple felonies she was still Judge of Elections in the Spring Primary Elections. According to her court records she lives now in Thorndale, PA not in Coatesville’s Fifth Ward.

Any bets on Lisa Johnson still being Judge of Elections in Coatesville’s Fifth Ward on November 2nd?

NAACP local Coatesville PA leader Elwood Dixon’s funeral service is today. I made a post about Elwood. I could have written about the good times.

Sunday, October 25, 2020

I won’t be using my printer so much. Elwood Dixon passed on Monday an hour after I dropped off articles to read at his home.

I could have written much more. 

There were several good times. 

Like Kerry for President at Temple U where Elwood sat behind John Kerry when he spoke about veterans. 

Benari Poulten managed the Kerry for President campaign headquarters in Coatesville. We put up a large flag behind Benari’s desk at the campaign headquarters. After I took a photo we realized the stars were on the wrong side. I flipped the photo for publication. 

The Coatesville Veterans Hospital places veterans in homes in Coatesville. Many veterans go for a walk on the main street of Coatesville, Lincoln Highway. Some veterans can be a little disoriented. 

There is a recent article in the Daily Local about a drug bust. Large-scale drug-dealing operation dismantled in Coatesville. I am extra careful driving by 6th to 8th Avenue in Coatesville. Some people on the street could be high. Some people have mental & physical challenges. 

I took notice of how very carefully and respectfully Benari drove through Coatesville.

Benari is now a comedy writer and stand up comedian as “GI Jew.” He’s in the Army Reserve.

Benari set up a way to get Coatesville veterans on stage with John Kerry. 

 

There was a train leaving from the Thorndale Station that would take Democrats to the Kerry event. 

I missed the train and drove four veterans to the Chestnut Hill East SEPTA station and managed to get them there on time.

Bill Washington was crushed between two heavyweight veterans as I passed cars on the PA Turnpike.

Elwood & Bill Washington wouldn’t get in a car I was driving after that road trip.

I forgot to tell them about Secret Service scanners. Pocket knives were placed in potted plants outside the building.

One Coatesville veteran, can’t remember his name, had to pull up his trousers. He had metal plates in his legs. 

I phoned WCOJ radio and got Elwood live on air from Temple U. At first Elwood didn’t realize he was on air. 

There was a moment searching for pocket knives in the potted plants afterwards.

I won’t be using my printer so much. Elwood Dixon passed on Monday an hour after I dropped off articles to read at his home.

Elwood had almost no way of finding news about politics & civil rights that was on internet sites. I printed things he might be interested in and an occasional legal document he requested. 

If something seems unethical. It is often illegal. 

Elwood had an intuitive understanding of law. He knew labor law in detail. 

As Supervisor of the Environmental Service Department of the Coatesville Area School District. Elwood kept our schools safe and clean. 

Elwood said, "I know where the bodies are buried." I'm pretty sure that was a metaphor, but Chester County has this history...

When our schools were so dirty that parents didn't want their children in them Elwood was called back from retirement to lead the Custodial Workers Union at the Coatesville Area School District.

On September 28, 1934 the world was graced with the birth of Elwood Issac Dixon. He was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania the son of the late Harvey I. and Gladys Henrietta Jackson Dixon. Elwood later met and married Mildred Amelia Norris Dixon with whom he shared seventy years of marriage and from that union five children were born: Deborah, Elwood, Jr, William, Clara and Warren.

On October 19, 2020 while peacefully at home surrounded by his family Elwood departed this life at the tender age of eighty-six years.

Upon graduating from High School, the love for his country and fellowman afforded him the opportunity to serve in the United States Army during the Korean Conflict where he received numerous recognitions for outstanding service.

After serving he was employed by Scully’s, Lukens Steel, Bell Telephone Company, Elwood retired as a Supervisor from the Environmental Service Department of the Coatesville Area School District. 

Elwood dedicated his life to serving the community. He was a political leader, Poll Worker and an advocate for getting people to the polls to vote. A member of the Coatesville Branch of the NAACP he fought relentlessly for the rights of others. Elwood was a founding member of the Organization “CIHU”(Can I Help You). Being a sports enthusiast, he was an avid fan of The Philadelphia EAGLES, PHILLIES and 76ers but none of them compared to the passion he held for the Coatesville Red Raiders Sport Teams( Football, Basketball, Baseball and Track). Although his humanitarian duties occupied a tremendous amount of his time the love for his family was second to none.

His great legacy will forever be cherished by his wife Mildred, his children Elwood Dixon, Jr. ( Jennifer) of Summerville, South Carolina, William Dixon (Delores) of Ridley Park, Pennsylvania, Clara Davis (Bruce) of New Castle, Delaware and Warren Dixon of Coatesville, Pennsylvania, eight grandchildren: Eugene Lambert, (Alejandria), Keith Lambert (Gerriann), Kim Dixon, Jaimy Dixon (Aileen), Keenan Dixon (April), Bruce Davis, Jr., Gabrielle James and Alicia James, siblings: Kim Dixon, Adam Dixon, Christopher Dixon, Shirley Archibald, Delores Dixon and Linda Dixon Johnson, close friends: John Robinson, Jorge Rosado, Jim Pitcherella, William Washington, Hank Hamilton, Nate Alston, Jim Robinson, Emmet and Arvilla Hunt, the Retired Men’s Breakfast Club, a host of great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives and friends.

“Patriot Muster' protester slaps TV crew's security guard and fires mace before being shot dead

New footage has emerged showing a right-wing 'Patriot Muster' protester arguing with a Black Lives Matter counter-protester seconds before he was shot dead by a television crew's private security guard during dueling rallies outside the Denver Art Museum.  

The security guard, who was hired by 9News and has not been named by authorities, was arrested on suspicion of murder on Saturday evening after he opened fire on the unidentified Patriot Muster protester who deployed mace at him during the rally. 

In images snapped by a Denver Post photographer, the protester appeared to slap the security guard and then deployed a stream of mace into his face before the guard lifted his handgun and fired, sending the protester staggering backward.”

Moment 'Patriot Muster' protesters clashes with BLM activist before one of the right-wingers slaps Pinkerton private security guard who pulls gun and shoots him dead

"Patriot Muster is the name given to pro-police activists who have attended rallies organized by John Tiegen, an ex-Marine and Blackwater private security guard. 

The group was formed over the summer as Denver, along with dozens of other cities across the US, was roiled by protests against racism and police brutality. 

Patriot Muster made headlines in July when it hosted a 'Back the Blue' rally that descended into chaos when protesters began clashing with counter-protesters. Tiegen accused the counter-protesters of throwing soup cans at his followers. 

Tiegen organized another Patriot Muster rally on Saturday at the Denver Civic Center, under the slogan: 'Stand up, show up.'

The slogan bore similarities to President Donald Trump's response when asked to condemn white supremacists and the Proud Boys. Instead of disavowing them he said: 'Stand back and stand by."

The Marriott Courtyard Hotel Coatesville Pennsylvania appears to be closed.

 

"In the latest news, Marriott International plans to let go of 17 percent of its corporate workforce. According to The New York Times, the company confirmed that it will lay off 673 people in late October. Marriott had initially furloughed two-thirds of its corporate staff in March. In June, the furloughs were extended until early October. The hotel giant said it does not expect to return to prior levels of business until beyond 2021. Effective Sept. 20, Marriott will no longer be listed on the Chicago Stock Exchange, a move the company said would reduce administrative costs and requirements...

Seven months since the Covid-19 pandemic struck the United States, the hospitality industry is still reeling and the need for federal relief is growing dire. New research from Tourism Economics shows the leisure and hospitality industry accounted for 11 percent of pre-pandemic employment in the U.S., but makes up 36 percent of the nation's job losses. Recovery is expected to extend into 2023 and without aid from Congress, as many as 50 percent of all travel-supported jobs could be lost by the end of December.

Industry leaders are calling for the White House and Congress to issue immediate Covid-19 relief, and condemned the news on Oct. 6 that President Donald Trump would end negotiations until after the election. Although shortly thereafter, Trump reversed course and called on Congress to pass $135 billion for the Paycheck Protection Program and $25 billion for the airline Payroll Support Program. 

"It’s time for our leaders in Washington to put politics aside and chart a bipartisan path forward to help businesses and employees in the hardest-hit industries," said Chip Rogers, president and CEO of the American Hotel and Lodging Association. "Millions of jobs and the livelihoods of people who have built their small business for decades are just withering away because our leaders in Washington are prioritizing politics over people. America’s hotel industry is on the brink of collapse. We can’t afford to let thousands of small businesses die and all of the jobs associated with them be lost for many years."

According to the AHLA, 68 percent of hotels have less than half of their normal staff working full time. In addition, more than two-thirds of hotels said they would not be able to last six more months at the current projected revenue and occupancy levels, and half of the hospitality owners polled said they are in danger of foreclosure. Without government assistance, 74 percent of hotels said they would be forced to lay off more employees. 

To that end, AHLA and the U.S. Travel Association have partnered to launch the Covid Relief Now Coalition. The coalition includes nearly 150 industry organizations gathered around a single message: Congress must pass immediate travel-industry relief...

Meanwhile, Marriott has reopened 91 percent of its global hotels, including all 350 China properties. The hotelier's worldwide occupancy rates reached 34 percent in August, but occupancy rates in China are nearly double (60 percent). This marks a significant jump from earlier in the year. According to Sorenson, some of Marriott's China hotels were running at 7 percent occupancy in January, when the pandemic peaked there.

"China has been interesting to watch. We went into the crisis with about 350 operating hotels in China and about 90 to 100 closed and business disappeared in the beginning," said Sorenson during Cvent connect. "In the later part of January and into February, revenue was down about 90 percent across our hotels in China and occupancy was at 10 percent. We're now running about 60 percent occupancy as we speak and we think there is a real possibility that we will get back to 2019 levels of revenue as early as 2021. That bodes well and it does tell you something about the resiliency of people."

Does the GOP Base think white terrorists, Nazis, KKK and Alt-Right terrorists are on the righteous side of murder?

Feds say they thwarted militia plot to kidnap Whitmer

"The FBI says it thwarted what it described as a plot to violently overthrow the government and kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, and federal prosecutors are expected to discuss the alleged conspiracy later Thursday.

The alleged plot involved reaching out to members of a Michigan militia, according to a federal affidavit filed Thursday.

'Several members talked about murdering 'tyrants' or 'taking' a sitting governor," an FBI agent wrote in the affidavit. "The group decided they needed to increase their numbers and encouraged each other to talk to their neighbors and spread their message."

“Trump fits the textbook definition of a psychopath, and newsrooms don’t want to touch that story.” They’re not a “Basket of deplorables.”Trump’s dingbat, racist, domestic terrorist followers including lots of GOP officials are PSYCHOPATHS

"Take a step back and try to erase the last four years of Trump mania, and imagine a world leader in October of 2016 who behaved like Trump did — slurred his words while reading a speech off a teleprompter, accused journalists of trying to destroy the economy, suggested giving himself a Medal of Honor, and warned about unfair elections. There's not a single major news outlet in the U.S. that would shy away from depicting that treacherous leader as unbalanced and unwell. Yet the Beltway press, after four years of watching Trump's delusional tendencies up-close, still refuses to be honest and blunt about what's unfolding in America — we have a mad man as president. It's the biggest political story in half-a-century, but the press is too nervous to dwell on it and deal with the consequences.

It’s also likely the press doesn't want to open the Pandora's box by suggesting the President of the United States is unstable, because that would require the media to aggressively cover that story everyday for the rest of the Trump's time in office.

That's why the media's normalizing of Trump has been so dangerous. Day by day, month by month, his extreme tendencies became the norm, to the point where journalists and news outlets barely bothered to document White House sins that would have been presented as administration-defining scandals in years past. Wasting nearly all of Trump's first term hiding behind claims that he was merely spreading "inaccuracies" or he was "misinformed," the press has allowed Trump pathology to become expected.  

Today, there are two truths in play: Trump fits the textbook definition of  a psychopath, and newsrooms don’t want to touch that story."

"Is it possible the promotion of a false political myth that democracy and capitalism are one and the same, and a layman’s view of Social Darwinism as a good thing, has spawned a nation of psychopaths and elected a Psychopath-in-Chief?

According to experts, the Hare Psychopathy Checklist, which was first devised in the 1970s by the Canadian criminal psychologist Robert Hare and since revised and widely used for diagnosis, psychopaths are selfish, glib and irresponsible. They have poor impulse control, are antisocial from a young age, and lack the ability to feel empathy, guilt and remorse. Psychopaths lie, cheat and steal. They have no respect for other people, social norms or the law.

On the face of it, this seems to perfectly describe President Donald Trump, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and many of the white Republicans who show up to support Trump at stadium rallies.

In some cases, these selfish people who go along with calling people of color “animals” and “criminals” and fail to mourn the dead when there are mass shootings like those recently in El Paso and Dayton are also known to torture defenseless animals, assault other children or attempt to kill their siblings or parents."
