Filbert in a nutshell

Berkeley CA

Description

Filbert, following QAnon, is peddling the meme that members of the elite are kidnapping, torturing, and murdering young children, drinking their blood for adrenochrome. This is actually based on an old meme known as blood libel. According to this, Jews were accused of mixing blood from slain Christian children into their Passover matzo. This notion never had a shred of validity, nor has this modern update. Now as in the past, Jews are accused of being guilty of all the world's evil, Rothschild and Soros being mentioned in particular. Things really get serious when this nonsense gets adopted by political actors like Donald Trump. Whether he actually believes this highly questionable material or not, he can use it to convince his followers that there is a dire threat and only he can save the country and, indeed, the world. Trump is upping the ante by announcing he will establish his own organ of mass communication. Biden must reinstate the Fairness Doctrine so American listeners and viewers can get the benefit of both sides of the story. Don't think it can't happen here. Hitler kept harping on the supposed evil nature of Jews until a critical mass of believers pulled the rest of Germans along to worship of Hitler as the man to save the country.
