Thanks for the link. Good read so far.

While we’re throwing out Qanon dissections, Gabriel Gatehouse’s The Coming Storm is a wild listen. I heard about it when he guest interviewed on Jon Stewart’s The Problem. The stuff he said there was so interesting that I checked out the podcast. Gabriel’s moved on from BBC now, but I’m eager for more of his reporting.

Edit: Oh and how could I forget: HBO’s Q Into the Storm is the best piece out there on this. They’re there interviewing Qanon while at the height of them kicking shit up.

I read half of this book yesterday and felt like I was having Vietnam flashbacks. I remember so much of this. Thanks again.
