Engineering Chaos: QAnon vs. “BlueAnon”
How Douglas Matthew Stewart’s network of chaos agents helped create both sides of the conflict endangering American democracy
This is an opinion piece based on my personal experience and over a year of investigation. Inevitably there will be unintentional errors which I will be glad to correct if notified. Email: stewartson @ protonmail . com
Introducing Chaos Agent Doug Stewart
Threat #1
Since I was mass-reported off of Twitter by malign actors, I have written several articles on Substack about self-described “chaos agent” Doug Stewart’s allies who have been participating in a large coordinated social media attack against me, my friends and partners.
I never named Doug Stewart or referred to him in any of the articles. I’ve never contacted him and only tweeted about him a few times in the past — not in many months. Despite this, Doug left me this reply on Substack several days ago.
“How’s it going Jim? Even I’m worried about you. I figured you’re about 5 weeks away from shooting up a church.“
- Douglas Matthew Stewart
Suggesting violence and self-harm is typical behavior for Doug Stewart as many of his targets will tell you. His public record of coordinating online harm to target people is extensive. Being one of his targets myself has given me a unique perspective — and motivation — to expose him, despite potential consequences.
Controlled Opposition
This has turned out to be a much bigger story than exposing my attackers. What’s more important is the reason I’m being targeted. Doug Stewart has been orchestrating political conflict online for many years and helped engineer both the right wing cult of “QAnon” through his network and also set up its “controlled opposition” on the “left.”
Controlled opposition serves several functions. First, it creates conflict, which leads to radicalization on both sides which is the goal. Second, it creates disinformation which covers for the perpetrators. Third, it targets people who do not conform to the official narrative.
I have been a target of the network for 18 months, but of late — as I caused more and more damage to Mike Flynn and his coalition and gained more and more influence — I have become its obsession.
My Twitter suspension and the crew of trolls currently defaming me 24/7 in my absence is an attempt at a social media assassination for political purposes. If you think I’m exaggerating, please read to the end.
Doug Stewart has activated a significant part of his network in the process, which, while extremely painful to experience, is also very helpful.
More than a Year of Investigation
This article is not based on a few days, or a few weeks of work. Nor is it part of a “Twitter fight” or a “beef.” I have known for well over a year that Douglas Matthew Stewart has been unilaterally targeting me, my friends and my work through his network. And I have collected the data.
In that time, I have spoken to several people who know Doug Stewart personally — including people who have cooperated with him, as well as others who have been his target. I know his psychology, his strategy and his tactics. And I know his network — largely because he has deployed a large part of it in his effort to destroy my reputation, my voice and my work.
This article is long and detailed for a reason. This network is complex and hard to understand by design. The relationships between the players in the network are murky — also by design. Nonetheless, enough of the operations it executes has to happen in public that it’s possible to see exactly how it works — and who is knowingly participating in it.
As important context, Doug Stewart has been involved in anti-democratic operations for over a decade, going back to infiltrating Occupy while he was working for Andrew Breitbart.
Doug Stewart also supported Russian interference in the 2016 election.
“Leftists thought it was cute to pay hackers during [Occupy Wall Street] — now their chickens are coming home to roost. #Guccifer2 #gucciferlives”
- Douglas Matthew Stewart, 8/12/2016
“Guccifer 2” was a cutout of Russian military intelligence (GRU)
Purpose
This article is not about the targeted harassment campaign being waged against me, although it is impossible to completely separate my personal reaction to being lied about literally tens of thousands of times by this network.
More importantly, this is about an active, harmful network that spreads and protects disinformation designed to cover up the truth about QAnon and its derivatives — the Cult — and intentionally harms people in the process.
Forbidden Subjects
Here are some of the subjects that Doug Stewart’s network doesn’t want you to hear about:
The critical role of Russian propaganda and Putin’s support of QAnon through domestic traitors like Mike Flynn
Mike Flynn’s central role in creating QAnon and weaponizing the Cult (QAnon+ and derivatives) that grew from it
The role of Erik Prince, Peter Thiel, Steve Bannon, and` Roger Stone; or any of the major QAnon operators
The role of Doug Stewart and his allies James Brower, “Microchip,” and “Spicci,” Mike Flynn Jr. and Manuel Chavez III, who were involved in the beginning of Q — in addition to Doug’s wide variety of contacts in the press who supported his false narratives
The controlled opposition aggressively attempting to cover up Mike Flynn’s role from the “left”
Flynn’s efforts at weaponizing Christianity through occult, fascist doomsday ideology
The impossibility of Ron Watkins being “Q”
Cults, brainwashing and mind control in QAnon
The potential to help people who have been victimized by undue influence (because they don’t want them helped)
Trolling / Gangstalking and the way it’s weaponized to control the narrative
Connections of QAnon operators like Mike Flynn, Lisa Clapier and Jim Watkins to fascist “I AM” theosophical cults, Satanism and Nazi ideology
The critical role military PSYOP and cognitive warfare techniques are playing and who is deploying them
The role of PSYOP officers Mike Flynn, Michael Aquino, Paul Vallely, Phil Waldron and many more in waging psychological war on their fellow citizens
Extension of the Cult
Doug Stewart’s network serves as a concealed extension of the Cult by protecting the people who are responsible for it, and attacking the people exposing it.
Disturbingly, many of the people in this network are the same people I first reached out to almost 18 months ago when I started looking into QAnon because they had been promoted as “Q experts.” I assumed they were sincere about wanting to expose and combat the threat. That assumption proved to be wildly wrong.
I did not ask for this but I will finish it.
Until I got suspended from Twitter the third time, for the most part I’ve just taken the attacks on me as the price you pay to be ahead of a story like QAnon involving extremely bad people. I tried to ignore them and focus on the work.
Unfortunately, I have been left with no choice but to shine a light on this and their assault on me because they have deeply affected my ability to do my work, caused me real, concrete personal damages, and most importantly, they are aggressively running interference for Mike Flynn and his allies — as we speak.
Let me be very clear, the fountain of lies you have seen about me are just that — lies. I am not perfect and I wear my heart my sleeve, but I have been an open book from the start. I know what I’m talking about. I have been ethical every step of the way. And I have worked hard to share what I know.
That’s why they are trying to erase my work, silence my voice on Twitter and bury me in lies. They may have won this battle but all they have done is successfully gotten my attention.
Doug Stewart — Threats and Lies
Based on past behavior, after this article, Doug Stewart and his allies are likely to continue to escalate their attacks on me and my friends both directly and through multiple proxies. There may be frivolous lawsuits, “swatting” or worse coming for me, my friends and family.
I expect more hit pieces on questionable websites like Vice News and Daily Dot as well. Regardless, the people who need to know about this operation already do and have been warned. And I’ve taken some new precautions myself.
In spite of this, I’m exposing this network because the public needs to know they are being deceived by people they may believe are trustworthy.
Threat #2
After I banned him from my Substack for threats, Doug Stewart commented on my podcast YouTube channel threatening me with “less cordial measures” if I don’t “schedule a talk” with him. He also wants to know what evidence I have for his harmful behavior which I will now provide below in detail. After we deleted his comments he joined our podcast live chat and trolled us until we blocked him.
In this comment, Doug Stewart provides a good summary of the lies that he is orchestrating about me through his allies and agents. This kind of personal destruction campaign is what he’s been doing for many years, publicly.
Correcting the Record
For the record, let’s walk through the truth behind Doug Stewart’s deceptions which are being repeated on Twitter thousands of times by his network:
I “showed up” a year and a half ago, on August 2, 2020, as soon as I visited QAnon Twitter for the first time and looked around. This was not the “last days of the Q LARP,” this was at the time it was just gearing up for violence and election interference.
[“LARP” means Live Action Role Play. In this context, an anonymous internet account with a concealed agenda.]
Because of my 30 year background in internet technology, interactive narratives and LARPs I could tell right away that it was Russian propaganda, that it was run by Mike Flynn, and was going to be targeting elections. I said this publicly for the first time on August 5th, 2020. Ever since, for seven days a week non-stop I have been warning about it, exposing the people who actually perpetrated it and showing how it works — in spite of the attacks on me.
I have never “smeared” anyone, this is 100% projection as we will see in detail below. And I have never seen this as a “competition” — except against fascism. These are simple, blatant lies. The lies rely on people’s trust, and pure repetition, to not only deliver disinfo, but to stoke anger and hate in the process. It is, simply put, propaganda.
Early on, I reached out to many of what turned out to be Doug Stewart’s friends who are now relentlessly lying about me. In late August 2020, after having friendly conversations with 8chan creator Fred Brennan for a few weeks when I was focused on Jim Watkins, as soon as I went further than that, towards Flynn, this entire network shut me out and kicked into gear and started attacking me unilaterally. Again, this is not an opinion, this is the data.
The network took the few occasions I responded after months of being attacked to claim that I was attacking them. This is what disinformation actors, chaos agents and Nazis do — they accuse others of what they do themselves. For my part, I have a database of over 100,000 tweets of this group’s defamation and harassment along with a wide array of other evidence. Data doesn’t lie. Chaos agents do.
Doug Stewart assures me that “It really breaks the narrative when there’s a large subset of Trump supporters that also hates the Q LARP… My quest in this began in November 2017.” This is the lie at the heart of the MAGA Coalition / Q Slayers operation and the lie at the heart of Doug Stewart. There’s a reason he’s taunting me with “the narrative.” Because he is trying to change it.
There is no evidence Doug Stewart or his allies have done anything to combat disinformation or fascism, and there is a mountain of evidence and his own admissions that show Doug Stewart’s job is to stoke the flames of division, spread disinformation, and target people through internet operations.
What’s interesting about this from a political perspective is that Doug Stewart is allied with disinformation agents on both the left and the right. He is enforcing a narrative that he knows is wrong because he was there — on both sides. Doug Stewart is Horseshoe Theory personified.
Doug Stewart appears to have set up a controlled opposition operation to shift the QAnon narrative from the left, to create chaos and anger, and to target people who don’t get on board. Moreover he seems to have set it up ahead of time.
Doug Stewart — Background
Doug Stewart calls himself a “chaos agent” which, in my opinion, is a euphemism for “terrorist.” I don’t use this word lightly. Destroying people’s lives to protect criminals and fascists is terrorism. Full stop.
“What you will never understand is how to be an effective chaos agent. I can’t teach that. You have to learn it on your own.”
- Doug Stewart, March 11, 2019
Breitbart
Doug Stewart (EDIT: “knew some of the original crew” not employed by) around Andrew Breitbart during Occupy and has been generating political conflict ever since. When Breitbart died in 2012, Doug Stewart publicly wrote a fawning ode to him — and privately vowed revenge on those he felt were responsible — which he is, to this day, still attempting to do.
It’s unclear what Doug Stewart did before Breitbart but he makes clear that his politics took a hard right turn somewhere along the way — and his current network shows he kept some of his old “anarchist” friends on the “left.”
“My friends were anarchists and hard-left progressives.”
- Doug Stewart, 3/1/2012
The Jester
Below Doug Stewart amplifies his friend “The Jester” in 2013 as he has for a decade.
Louise Mensch promoted this account while larping on Bill Maher’s show in 2017. I should note that right before I was suspended for a third time a few weeks ago “The Jester” suddenly reached out to me for the first time and invited me to his private social network. I declined to answer his DM.
Doug Stewart has a lot of money. I have no idea how much, but he throws it around a lot. While I’m sure he gets paid well for what he does, he was also very early in cryptocurrency which is true of almost all white nationalist operatives, especially those connected to Peter Thiel.
Doug Stewart claims to be half-Jewish which I have no reason to disbelieve and he periodically larps as being against anti-semitism. In reality, he weaponizes anti-semitism constantly and associates with a wide variety of anti-semites, including his “friends” and alter egos — harmful LARPs Microchip and Spicci.
Doug Stewart was involved in right wing ops through the early 2010s and beginning in 2014 helped turn GamerGate from a curiosity into a misogynistic cult and then into the alt-right. He worked alongside Fred Brennan, Milo, Weev, Cernovich and numerous other neo-nazis and their sympathizers to radicalize a generation.
White Nationalism / Proud Boys
Here is Doug Stewart promoting his good friends — insurrectionist Baked Alaska and Proud Boy founder Gavin McIness — on January 10th, 2022.
While I do not have direct evidence that Doug Stewart is an official member of the Proud Boys, he has promoted and associated with a variety of them over many years including Gavin McIness, Mike Flynn Jr., and Proud Boy leader and insurrectionist Joe Biggs.
This was Doug Stewart’s profile picture in 2019. Doug freely associates with neo-nazis and makes no secret of his own white nationalist views and always finds a smirky reason to excuse his blatant racism.
His hat, as we shall see, is part of a long cooperative trolling LARP with Louise Mensch as well as a nod to the man Doug Stewart worked hard to put in office, Donald Trump.
Needless to say, Doug Stewart is flashing a symbol that has been widely appropriated by white supremacists, especially the Proud Boys.
Non-stop Ops
Doug Stewart deactivated his Gab account in the last week — which he tends to do when he is getting attention, presumably because he knows I’m going to write about him.
Regardless, Doug Stewart was pushing Joe Rogan and Flynn-connected anti-vaxx propagandist Robert Malone on January 5th, 2022.
My followers may remember that I got inauthentically mass reported and suspended (the first time) for calling out Joe Rogan for spreading neo-nazi propaganda.
Here are two of Doug Stewart’s long-time co-conspirators — professional troll “Belle” from “Troll Army” who is fashioning herself as “AntifaBelle” for this LARP, and Louise Mensch — slandering my podcast co-host and tagging in one of our guests. Belle, Doug, and Doug Stewart’s girlfriend Lia Spinelli are good friends.
Belle is an expert at mass reporting and took credit for an inauthentic 12-hour suspension I got last year for calling a troll a bad word.
Three years ago, this is Belle and Doug Stewart cooperating with Louise Mensch on a trolling op and discussing the technical details of using Discord servers to weaponize Twitter.
In October 2021, Doug Stewart reposted the work of several of his own chaos agents — Rocco Castoro, “Magic Window,” and “Nicole” who were astroturfing a San Francisco school board election through trolling operations from the “left.” As I will detail below, all three of these people are part of Doug Stewart’s network — who infiltrated my volunteer group and are aggressively participating in the campaign to silence and defame me.
“Magic Window” aka “Matt Donovan” runs numerous sock puppet accounts. Among these appears to be “PoliticsOfTime” aka “StickInMyMind” aka “PoliticsOnEdge” who was part of the “Q Slayers” LARP with Doug Stewart.
Sock Puppet and Network
Doug Stewart is very experienced and his operational security is far better than most. However, he still leaves tracks.
Two people who know Doug Stewart personally have confirmed this is his Twitter sock puppet account that he appears to share with a friend who owns it and tweets about Texas sports.
Doug Stewart has been permanently banned multiple times from Twitter — so this is ban evasion. This account recently appeared in a small Twitter Spaces room with Doug Stewart’s old collaborators which is how I know he still uses it.
The account follows 158 people, including the Texas sports teams the account owner likes and tweets about. A few relevant accounts that it follows:
“@LiaS814” is Doug Stewart’s girlfriend Lia Spinelli who spends her days attacking anyone on the internet who has the temerity to talk about Doug Stewart and pushes the lie that he was really against QAnon all along.
Ginger McQueen and Adam Gingrich (@JohnWickOfPolitics) were Doug Stewart’s partners in “MAGA Coalition” which was a right-wing PAC that they used as a front for “Q Slayers” which was supposed to be “anti-Q” but, as I detail below, instead radicalized a bunch of people on the far-left and provided an enemy for “Q.”
Jack Posobiec, Glenn Greenwald and Sean Hannity are fascist propagandists and, by all accounts, Doug Stewart’s personal friends.
0HOUR has been a harmful actor in this network since Pizzagate and is a long-time close collaborator of Doug Stewart.
Self-employed conspiracy writer Mike Rothschild and the far-left QAnonAnonymous podcast, particularly co-host “Travis View” aka Logan Strain, who follows this account as well, have been engaged in a campaign of personal destruction against me for a year and a half.
While he seems to use it mostly for monitoring and DMs, occasionally he can’t help but retweet his friends.
Chaos Agents and Trolls
Doug Stewart’s network of allies and agents is set up to allow him to manipulate the information landscape and therefore public perception to meet his anti-democratic goals.
Chaos Agent Doug Stewart
Doug Stewart’s strategy is to create allies and agents on both sides of the political divide — emphasis on division — and manipulate them to create conflict and harm to specific targets. In addition to his agents on the “left,” Doug Stewart collaborates with all the people who started “Q,” including MAGA3X members “Microchip,” James Brower and Mike Flynn Jr.
Doug Stewart’s tactics rely on his network of disinformation agents and trolls to muddy the waters while he larps on both sides in order to orchestrate chaos. The words “#ChaosAgent LARPing since 2008” in his profile below are accurate.
The name he chose: “ghost doug micro spicci” is the core of his network. He will tell you this is a joke or an imposter, but Doug Stewart, at a minimum, worked very closely with neo-nazi terrorist LARPs Microchip and Spicci — and it is extremely likely he actually authored Microchip in conjunction with others. Here he amplifies another chaos agent —‘toots’ — who we will meet below.
Spicci
In the MAGA Coalition YouTube video discussed below, Doug Stewart spends a lot of time promoting infamous misogynistic, racist, antisemitic troll Spicci and his troll group “The Shed,” while praising his operations. Doug and Spicci have been working closely together for a long time.
Spicci has had hundreds of accounts and wields them as weapons of personal destruction.
Not incidentally, Doug Stewart’s “friend” Spicci showed up in December 2020 to call me an “actual pedophile” while I was also under attack from Doug Stewart’s “leftist” allies. Just like in QAnon, this was a signal to his allies to target me, which they have — ruthlessly.
Here’s Doug Stewart promoting Spicci and white nationalist 4chan LARP DHSAnon in the project to identify “pedos” over three years ago, right before he started the “Q Slayers” LARP.
Microchip
Here is Doug Stewart reposting Q co-creator Microchip on Gab at the end of 2018.
Microchip, 12/18/2018:
“As much as I hate QAnon, please don’t stop pushing it. It’s causing massive chaos among the Right wing and the Left. I need more chaos and more confusion.
Heil Satan
Q”
This is the essence of Doug Stewart’s role. Causing chaos in order to destabilize democracy and orchestrating harmful LARPs to facilitate it.
“Microchip,” was a LARP specifically created in 2016 to allow white nationalists to run influence ops anonymously while building a brand in the process. I’ve explored a number of theories about who’s behind the LARP, but if you spend time looking at its various permutations, it is certainly a shared identity.
Microchip has had hundreds of Twitter and other social media accounts, and leveraged numerous social media voices, technical skill sets, tactics and cultural symbolism.
For reasons outside the scope of this article, I believe Trump’s “Twitter Whisperer” Justin McConney, James Brower and Doug Stewart were users of the Microchip LARP at different times. Jared Swift aka Janon aka James Lefeber, Baked Alaska and Jack Posobiec are likely users as well. Others, like Milo Yiannolopolous may have contributed too.
Among Microchip’s most dedicated followers during 2019 were Travis View and Janon. “VV” is a particularly despicable troll that recently joined in the the harassment campaign against me.
Microchip seemed to follow Tim Pool, Janon, Doug Stewart and a who’s who of racists and fascists across his accounts.
James Brower: “Q Slayer,” Chaos Agent, Co-creator of “Q”
The co-creator of Q and MAGA3X employee James Brower was part of “Q Slayers” and admitted on the QAnonAnonymous podcast that Brower “in collaboration with others, made the first Q drops.” This statement is true, and the hosts of this podcast know it, yet QAnonAnonymous has consistently participated in the disinformation that it was Ron Watkins who controlled Q. Why?
MAGA3X was an operation set up before the 2016 election to run psyops for Mike Flynn, Peter Thiel and numerous associates. It ran Pizzagate with MAGA3X founder Jack Posobiec as the front man.
The evidence on the record supports James Brower’s claims. The tweet archive below is 6 days after “Q” started posting and two days after the LARP signed its post “Q” for the first time.
Note that the Podesta email hack Brower is referencing in his pinned tweet was promoted by Doug Stewart via Guccifer2 / Wikileaks and was a major subject of both “Q drops” and Pizzagate.
James Brower, 11/4/2017:
“I hope you’ve enjoyed the 4chan posts
Q“
Unless Brower was playing elaborate multi-dimensional disinformation chess that would necessarily involve him knowing those involved with “Q” and their plans anyway, the above tweets are proof that Brower was part of the team that created Q. In addition to these tweets, I have direct sources who confirm Brower’s involvement from the start. All available circumstantial evidence supports this scenario as well.
Why would Brower admit it? Putting this marker down allowed Brower to 1) take credit if things went his way, 2) limit his liability if they didn’t. Not much downside.
James Brower was a leader in MAGA3X along with Mike Flynn Jr., Jack Posobiec and many other neo-nazi trolls. Here’s Mike Flynn Jr. the day after the 2016 election.
Here’s Mike Flynn Jr. a week after “Q” started pushing “PedoWood” — a conflation of “pedophile” and “Hollywood” that leads to some of the most traumatic “redpill” videos in existence. “Hollywood pedophiles” was a major early theme of “Q” and was simultaneously weaponized by Doug Stewart and his allies as well.
Chaos Agent James Lefeber
“Toots” above is @tootslilfighter aka “Janon” aka “Jared Swift” aka “James Lefeber” who is a white supremacist chaos agent that has doxxed me multiple times, defamed and lied about me on numerous occasions and run ops on my friends and colleagues. Yet many “leftist” trolls work with him.
Here’s Janon sucking up to the director of the HBO documentary with a meme of “Travis View” to promote QAnonAnonymous.
Here are chaos agents Doug Stewart and James Lefeber larping about “Q.” Note who Lefeber tags in his tweet — Doug Stewart, Travis View from far-left podcast QAnonAnonymous, MAGA Coalition founders Gingrich and McQueen, “Q” co-creator James Brower, and “NewYorkCityGuns” aka MAGA Coalition member Glenn Herman. This went on for months.
Here is Janon admitting he’s in the DM rooms “with all the people running shit” which I have confirmed is true with an independently obtained screencapture. Janon indicates Mike Flynn is in charge — “o7” — which is also true.
Chaos Agent Louise Mensch
Menschistan is the term I use to refer to the quasi-cult that sprung up around Louise Mensch on the left in 2016/17/18 that captured the imagination of liberals like me who were convinced that Putin had installed a puppet in the White House. (He did. Just not in the ridiculous ways Mensch concocted.)
Mensch was just credible enough to make you believe she was on to something if your cognitive bias was not finely filtered out — but oddly, nothing she said ever actually panned out. Many of the accounts she cooperated with are still around continuing to operate, misinforming people and distracting them with nonsense.
Louise started going off the rails by saying a lot of impossible things about sealed indictments and I figured out pretty quickly she was at least wrong, if not intentionally so, about most of what she said.
The group that stayed with her was gradually pulled into brutal Twitter wars involving huge block lists, armies of trolls gangstalking people and getting them suspended. Lots of drama about people’s private information, etc. It reached it’s grim climax when someone was trolled into suicide.
I realize there are still some people fooled by Mensch’s blue check, her inauthentically obtained follower count, or the revisionist history of herself she disseminates. The reality is that she is nothing but a dangerous agent of malign actors whose entire Twitter history involves harmful disinformation operations, many of which were conducted by Douglas Matthew Stewart.
Menschistan was manufactured
It’s important to understand that Doug Stewart and Louise Mensch are not enemies, they are chaos agents working on the same team. Louise has been working with Doug Stewart since summer 2016 when this photo was taken. Erik Prince was also at this event.
Here is Milo Yiannopolous, whether you choose to believe him or not, describing precisely what Louise Mensch has been doing for five and a half years.
Doug Stewart pretends to hate Louise Mensch but they are actually on the same team, and he is proud of people he has “destroyed” in the process of manufacturing chaos and trauma.
Five years after they started, Doug Stewart and Louise are still teaming up to troll people. It’s not a coincidence that she is now perfectly comfortable with the trolls who have been dedicated to defaming me for over a year. They’re all on the same team. For example, Louise Mensch has lots of nice things to say about Mike Rothschild and his book that promotes disinformation about QAnon.
To be clear, the “GRU laptop” she harps on was a story that came up when Louise briefly tried to pull me into her group last year. Multiple people from her crew of trolls came into my DMs with crazy stories about Russia — including one about a “GRU laptop.” When I rejected these efforts, Louise began to attack me. Over the last week or so, her attacks have become much more intense.
EDIT: Louise Mensch is currently trying to insinuate herself into my friends and allies by softening her tone after trolling me for eight months and claiming she “agrees” with me about Q. Please do not believe a word she says.
If you want to see Mensch’s LARP in action over the years and how she made a magical transformation in 2016, feel free to explore her Twitter archive.
Professional Troll “KassandraSeven”
KassandraSeven is a professional troll. She has exploited every nook and cranny of Twitter’s TOS and has obtained a significant stable of lower-level trolls to help her in her ops. She understands very well how to game the reporting system to shadowban people and successfully got me suspended twice for not breaking the rules. She has also targeted and successfully suspended a number of my followers who had the temerity to defend me.
Beyond that, this single account has committed a massive amount of criminal harassment and defamation and seems to be entirely unconcerned about it. Thousands of tweets. All lies.
This leads me to wonder who this person is and whether she is simply unconcerned with American law. “KassandraSeven” is an anonymous account of course. I’ve heard various theories about who she is, including Cassandra Fairbanks, which I don’t believe — although she did tweet personal pictures of Fairbanks from her account.
The only previous reference I can find to her handle is this account on Live Journal in Russian which briefly participated in some sort of trolling campaign in 2013 designed to make people protest against Americans adopting Russian babies. Location: Russian Federation.
Now, I have no idea if that is the same “KassandraSeven” but the MO and agenda fits. Regardless, I’d like to know who the person is that has devoted her life to destroying mine and covering for Flynn and the Russians. She has an extremely slim digital trail about being an “activist” in Detroit with a website called “Karmic Reaction” that was nothing but pictures of flowers and trite quotes. No one seems to actually know her however.
Since she seems so “concerned” with me, I’d like to know more about her and how she is connected to Douglas Matthew Stewart.
KassandraSeven is anxious for everyone to know that if you manage to get someone inauthentically suspended, it’s fine to lie about them as much as you want.
I wonder if Twitter Safety agrees with this. My lawyer doesn’t.
Now KassandraSeven is trying to source an archive of my tweets because she apparently needs new material to lie about me.
I don’t know who or what “KassandraSeven” is but I guarantee you this is not an “activist.” This has all the markings of a professional asset who is currently assigned to destroying my life. That sort of thing has consequences.
Professional Troll Fred Brennan
Fred Brennan, who built and ran 8chan in order to platform the misogynistic cult GamerGate, is central to pushing disinformation about QAnon and blaming it all on Jim and Ron Watkins both of whom he personally hates. He has been targeting me since August 2020.
Brennan has been platformed by Doug Stewart’s network as some sort of whistleblower, but he’s just doing the same thing he did in GamerGate — which he personally oversaw. He’s a sadistic, nihilistic troll. Brennan workshopped an article on neo-nazi website Daily Stormer on 8chan, hired neo-nazi MIke Cernovich as his lawyer and helped validate Q.
Brennan was the central figure in the HBO QAnon documentary — which was disinformation about the origin and operation of QAnon. I will cover that in detail in a separate piece.
For many months Fred Brennan had “Jim Stewartson is unwell” in his bio.
Chaos Agents Rocco Castoro and Emily Molli
Rocco Castoro and Emily Molli are engaged in sustained and premeditated criminal harassment, tortious interference and defamation against me.
Rocco Castoro claims to have had a conversation with Doug Stewart on September 24th 2021. Castoro and his partner Emily Molli have made it their project to defame me, run constant ops on my friends and colleagues and DM people I know to whisper lies to turn them against me.
Rocco and Emily claim to be working on a website which was supposed to have “scoops.” None of it has materialized.
In fact, they have produced nothing but harm, a large proportion of it devoted to me personally.
According to Lia Spinelli, Doug Stewart started emailing Rocco in April 2021.
Part of the reason Castoro and Molli gained attention was through this extremely odd article by Doug Stewart’s ally Will Sommer in March. Why did “Politics Reporter” Will Sommer write this? What does this have to do with politics? Beyond that purpose did it serve other than validating and platforming two people that would go on to attempt destroy my life?
Castoro and Molli have worked with a who’s who of white nationalists, fascists and disinformation actors, including Tim Pool, Luke Rudkowski from Infowars, anti-vaxxer and Peter Thiel employee Bret Weinstein (brother of Eric who runs Thiel Capital and started the “intellectual dark web”), neo-nazi hacker Kim Dotcom, Andy Ngo and many others. Why was none of this mentioned in the article?
It should be noted Doug Stewart has worked closely with Andy Ngo since well before the manufactured “milkshake incident” that brought him to prominence.
This is summer 2019 while Doug Stewart was collaborating with “Q Slayers.” “ProgDad” was a LARP Doug Stewart used to attack the “Antifa” straw man and to promote nazi-collaborator Andy Ngo throughout 2019.
Emily Molli has worked for enemy foreign nation-states through their news outlets RT, Xinghua, and CCTV.
Emily Molli was with her colleagues Cassandra Fairbanks, Luke Rudkowski and Tim Pool at the “Deploraball” which was a “gala” put on by MAGA3X, the group that started Pizzagate a few months before and would go on to start “Q.” Peter Thiel was in attendance.
Emily Molli had a podcast with Bret Weinstein and was a regular contributor to Peter Thiel’s libertarian psyop “Intellectual Dark Web.”
Castoro and Molli’s story about their “breakup” with Tim Pool is, to say the least, not believable. I have met many people who have had a legitimate reckoning with their past and changed their ways as well as their words. Castoro and Molli have not.
Castoro and Molli conspired with Doug Stewart’s two-sided ops “Magic Window” and “Nicole” to fraudulently obtain DMs in which I expressed my honest concerns about Castoro and Molli — privately.
They have subsequently used those (100% truthful, if blunt) fraudulently obtained DMs to somehow claim I am attacking them — which is patently absurd. They have created literally thousands of public lies about me and actively participated in the effort to get me suspended.
Professional Troll Manuel Chavez III aka Defango
This is Defango who, according to him, was part of the team that set up QAnon. It was Defango’s Discord server that Microchip and James Brower used to write the first Q drops.
Referring to Doug Stewart, Defango speculates that Doug Stewart and Rocco Castoro are going to “game plan another tragic loss” which means intentionally causing someone to commit suicide. Four months later, they have certainly tried to turn me into a “tragic loss.”
Here is Doug Stewart on Manuel Chavez III / Defango’s server in 2020 expressing disappointment that Steven Biss didn’t subpoena someone that Doug Stewart doesn’t like. This is part of a decade long grudge and I apparently got caught in the crossfire.
Steven Biss is a disgraced, unethical lawyer who both represents and pays people like Defango. Biss specializes in Russia-compromised clients including the Flynn family, Russian propagandist Robert David Steele (d.), seditionist Kash Patel, Stella “Demon Sperm” Immanuel, and Devin Nunes.
Biss included my tweets in a frivolous lawsuit against CNN last year and Steven Biss was representing the Flynn family in that lawsuit. Here is Doug Stewart aligning himself with Flynn/Nunes lawyer Steven Biss.
Professional Trolls QAnonAnonymous, the Russians, and My Mental Health
Hours after I tweeted my first article on 8/16/20 identifying Jim Watkins, Mike Flynn and the Russians as being behind QAnon, QAnonAnonymous started attacking my mental health and never stopped. This was two days after I DMed Travis View to offer to work together.
QAnonAnonymous makes nearly a million dollars a year from downplaying and making fun of QAnon and attacking people who don’t fit their narrative.
Here is a post on the QAnonAnonymous Discord server on the #announcements channel by the moderator, who is either Travis View / Logan Strain or someone who constantly fetishizes him.
Here they call me “unwell,” suggest I’m suicidal, and tell people to stop attacking me from their Discord server but that trolling other “BlueAnon” accounts is fine. They did not stop. It only got worse.
For more than a year, the QAnonAnonymous moderator “Apollo” has spent his time alternately making trolling videos and memes about me, and making superhero memes and videos about “Travis VIew.” Here he is gloating about my third inauthentic suspension.
Again, for the record, I am not “unwell” and attacking anyone’s mental health is beneath contempt.
I should note that all three co-hosts of QAnonAnonymous are themselves anonymous. None of them use their real names on the show. Logan Strain was exposed by the Washington Post for being deceptive about his identity as “Travis View” and uninvited him from contributing to the Post in the future.
While I don’t doxx people, there is a certain point at which I need to know about individuals because they are intentionally causing me damage. So, I know all about the co-hosts of QAnonAnonymous. Their lives are their own business, but I will say it is not surprising that they conceal their own identities and backgrounds.
More important is the nihilistic ideology they push and the harmful behavior they engage in.
For example, this episode was December 2020, three weeks before the insurrection. “Chapo Trap House” is a far-left podcast notorious for brutal trolling and Russia-friendly nihilistic politics that has made dozens of appearances on QAnonAnonymous and vice versa since 2018.
Chapo’s trolling was so bad that the group was banned from Reddit along with “r/TheDonald” in 2020, which is no small feat.
Of course, Chapo Trap House specializes in Hillary Clinton hatred and Russia apologia like everyone else in this extended network, including QAnon. Ask yourself why.
Chaos Agent William Welna / Troll Army
Doug Stewart has been cooperating with an operator named William Welna who has, at minimum, collaborated with “Troll Army” — which is an extremely harmful group of aggressive trolls — for years. “Belle” who I mentioned above is part of this group. Welna also worked with Spicci and his troll group “The Shed” and Louise Mensch, and has gone by numerous aliases including “Sang” and “GrandExaltedOne” per the tweet below.
Welna has been targeting me because people he and Doug Stewart hate offered to help me with my volunteer group — which was subsequently torn apart by Doug Stewart’s allies, including Welna and his trolls who fashion themselves as the “Suicide Squad.” “Belle” most frequently LARPs as Harley Quinn from “Suicide Squad.”
You may notice that the suicide theme recurs a lot around Doug Stewart.
(Note: Among Welna’s group is a particularly hateful troll named Cody Webb who claims to work for Twitter Safety — which, if true, could explain a few things.)
Other Targets
I’m not the only target of this network. Mike Rothschild manufactured a hit piece in The Atlantic on someone who has done nothing wrong based on an incident that I witnessed myself which Mike Rothschild initiated and is completely mischaracterizing.
Besides Rothschild lying about this “incident,” why did The Atlantic allow this disinformation to be printed?
“worried about the account’s false claim that QAnon was a ‘psyop’ deliberately crafted by Trump allies to thwart liberal democracy” [emphasis added]
This is an extremely specific lie and effectively discredits a large part of what I have personally proven through thousands of hours of work. This is simply false reporting as part of a disinformation campaign and it should be corrected.
Ops
Now that I have introduced many — but by no means all — of the chaos agents working for Doug Stewart, I will describe a few of the coordinated operations (ops) that his network has engaged in.
Operation Titty Twister — The Day Before Q
To show how unlikely it is that Doug Stewart is not aware of all the people and circumstances around the birth of “Q” and its ongoing operations, here is Doug Stewart closely cooperating with Microchip to run “Operation Titty Twister” the day before QAnon started — October 27, 2017. This op was overtly designed to inauthentically mass report “progressives” in order to get them suspended from Twitter — which is what happened to me.
Note that Louise Mensch, who I will cover below, was one of the “targets” of this operation. This is a LARP. Louise Mensch is on the same team as Doug Stewart and Microchip.
Uranium One
It is notable that on this same day, 10/27/2017, Mike Rothschild posted this anti-Hillary propaganda on his blog. It lightly “debunks” the “conspiracy” in the fine print while advertising the lie in bold. “End of the Line for the Clinton Gravy Train” is disinformation. Like everyone in this network Rothschild hates Hillary Clinton. Notably, “Uranium One” was a major theme of early Q drops.
(On this screenshot you can see Mike Rothschild’s tweets streaming into his website in real time. When I took this a couple of days ago, Rothschild was cooperating with the journalist who wrote a hit piece on my volunteer group, a “Q researcher” who disparages me and is platformed by this reporter, and professional troll “KassandraSeven” who has lied about me thousands of times, to mock me for being inauthentically suspended — by them.)
Here is James Brower pushing Uranium One a week after he co-created Q. The “Uranium scandal” was in Q drop #3.
Mike Rothschild hates Hillary Clinton. This is New Year’s Eve 2020, one week before the insurrection:
Mike Rothschild is a drama major from Iowa who wanted to be an actor or a playwright. He wrote articles “debunking” conspiracy theories for various websites and compiled them into little books like “World’s Worst Conspiracies” until he suddenly became “self-employed” in September 2017 — the month before “Q” started.
Notably, the first time Mike Rothschild’s blog appears in the Wayback Machine is the week before “Q” started.
Rothschild uses his last name as a defense mechanism and a way to smear his enemies as anti-semitic. This line of attack was difficult for them to sustain against me because my paternal grandparents are Ashkenazi Jews who came over from Russia in the Pogroms.
Birth of “Q” — All “Friends” of Doug Stewart
On October 28th 2017, the day after Doug Stewart and Microchip started an operation to knock liberals off of Twitter, James Brower and Microchip started “Q” on Manuel Chavez III aka Defango’s Discord server. Chavez and Stewart know each other very well.
Doug Stewart admits he and Microchip know all about Q, which is true.
Doug Stewart Mirrored QAnon
Doug Stewart says he had nothing to do with setting up QAnon and that he was always against it. He wants you to believe that he wanted to “#FreeTheBoomers” from QAnon. Instead, he actively mirrored, promoted and radicalized it.
For months, Doug Stewart was pretending to go after “pedos” in order to target people he didn’t like. Of course this is precisely what QAnon did — targeting people based on them being “Satanic pedophiles.”
At the same time, Doug Stewart was also amplifying and working with Mike Flynn Jr. who, as I will write about soon, was directly involved with “Q” from day one.
LARP: MAGA Coalition
Here’s a screengrab from a video by “MAGA Coalition” member “Smooch Panda” in early 2019.
One of the photos appears to be MAGA3X employee and “Chief of Staff” to his father, Mike Flynn Jr. at a MAGA Coalition event. Mike Jr. both helped create Q for his father and pushed it throughout its existence. Since MAGA Coalition was supposed to be “anti-Q” while working with the “left,” and steered all attention to the Watkins instead of Mike Flynn, this seems problematic.
It should be noted that two of the original members of MAGA Coalition were QAnon propagandists Dave Hayes aka Praying Medic and Ann Vandersteel who works with insurrectionist Jason Sullivan and former NSA director, QAnon propagandist and turncoat Bill Binney.
Here is Doug Stewart in February 2019 on MAGA Coalition member “Smooch Panda”s show, promoting many of the people who have been attacking me or their validators.
This is four hours describing many of the ops he’s been involved in and how he operates starting with his hero Andrew Breitbart, who Doug Stewart worked for during Occupy until Breitbart’s death. Doug participated in infiltrating Occupy along with propagandist Tim Pool and cult leader Lisa Clapier.
At 3:26:00 in the video, right after attacking “Antifa,” Doug Stewart endorses Will Sommer and Mike Rothschild as people who he has been informing and “can have fun with [QAnon] and brush off any criticism.”
LARP: Q Slayers
In 2019 “Travis View,” Mike Rothschild, Will Sommer, Doug Stewart, “Janon,” Jack Posobiec and many others worked together on “Q Slayers” in conjunction with Stewart’s PAC “MAGA Coalition” and a variety of white nationalists. Q Slayers was a LARP.
Despite the name of the group, nothing was “slayed.” Instead, this group collected and radicalized a large number of far-left podcast listeners coming from the Russia-friendly nihilist-left like “Red Scare,” “TrueAnon” and “Chapo Trap House.” Many of them were already well-practiced trolls. Rather than substantially investigating QAnon, combatting or even taking it seriously this group downplayed it, monetized it, and weaponized their audience.
Jordan Sather has been cooperating with Doug Stewart’s network since the beginning of QAnon. Here he is with “Travis View.”
Here is “Travis View” amplifying Doug Stewart’s girlfriend as part of the LARP.
Here’s Travis View retweeting white nationalist chaos agent Doug Stewart inviting people to go check out 8chan. All of this is true, but the reason for it is to get them angry and pull them into the group.
Here are a few of the other people Doug Stewart used for the “Q Slayers” LARP besides “Travis View”: his good friend, neo-nazi Russian propagandist Jack Posobiec, neo-nazi memelord “Carpe Donktum,” and “Smooch Panda” from MAGA Coalition who has “QSLAYERS” in his handle.
Mike Rothschild and Travis View played along for months.
While this LARP was underway, if anyone got off the script or tried to sincerely investigate the operators of QAnon, the trolls would kick into action and torment the target until they stopped, left the group, or got inauthentically suspended from mass reporting. I personally know several victims of this, and not coincidentally, it is also what has been happening to me, my friends and followers — systematically.
The primary “targets” on the right from this group were core Q team member Dave Hayes aka Praying Medic and QAnon propagandist Ann Vandersteel which is notable because they were originally partners in MAGA Coalition. The principle antagonist was “Neon Revolt” who was revealed to be a failed New Jersey scriptwriter. Ginger McQueen from MAGA Coalition later said he was their “asset.”
Throughout the YouTube video above, Doug Stewart describes many of the tactics he uses in detail to cause chaos — Infiltrating discord servers, getting people suspended from Twitter, trolling people to “discredit” and silence them — or worse. All of these tactics have been used on me and my friends in exactly the way Doug describes them.
At 2:56:00 Doug admits that the tactics he uses are based on MAGA3X which is the Flynn-led psyops group that started Pizzagate and QAnon.
In other parts of the Smooch Panda MAGA Coalition video, Doug Stewart endorses gangstalking websites that I have been repeatedly doxxed and harassed on, the owner of the websites Josh Moon, as well as 8chan creator Fred Brennan, Spicci, Microchip, Defango, GamerGate, Erik Prince, James O’Keefe, Milo, Baked Alaska, Mindy Robinson, Wikileaks / Assange and numerous other traitors, white nationalists and fascists.
Doug Stewart also calls his colleague Louise Mensch “Blue Q” which is an early version of the slur they’ve been using to disparage me non-stop for 18 months - “BlueAnon.”
BlueAnon
“BlueAnon” and variants is a slur wielded at anyone who dares mention Russian propaganda in QAnon or that Putin is involved in the fascist takeover currently underway. Or that psyops are involved.
Interestingly, the hashtag #BlueAnon originated with Russia-apologist Aaron Maté (who Mike Flynn has approvingly reposted) and Russia-apologist Matt Taibbi, followed by Russian asset Jack Posobiec and a who’s who of Flynn associates, including Russian asset Mike Flynn himself.
Mike Flynn’s brother Joe even used it to taunt me about the operation that tore apart my volunteer group.
Notably, the first time I was trolled by Mike Flynn’s brother Joe Flynn was one of the few times I (sort of) mentioned Doug Stewart on Twitter.
Of course the Russian “red line” in this ”leftist” network is just like QAnon itself, which is entirely devoid of negative messaging about Russia or Putin. In fact, it is increasingly fashionable to be openly in favor of Putin.
The group of people attacking me from the “left” is solidly in this camp.
Again, here is Doug Stewart in August 2016 pushing Guccifer 2, a GRU cutout that delivered hacked materials from the DNC to Wikileaks for Mike Flynn’s operation to destroy Hillary Clinton.
Disinformation: Minimizing Flynn’s Occult Prayer
Here’s an example of Doug Stewart’s disinformation network in action and how it covers for Mike Flynn. In isolation, any of the thousands of tweets attempting to discredit my work could be seen as just an opinion, however misguided. But the volume, consistency and coordination of this messaging and the aggressive moves by Doug Stewart’s associates shows clearly these are not opinions. It’s disinformation aka propaganda — with a clear goal.
Several months ago, with the help of fellow researchers, I made an important discovery that Mike Flynn led a Christian church in an occult prayer by fascist cult leader Elizabeth Clare Prophet. A few days later, Will Sommer wrote this article that appears to have been specifically designed to cover up the importance and meaning of the story, and to minimize Flynn’s guilt, while erasing me from it entirely.
CW: Disinfo — Daily Beast
Sommer did add my Tweet way down in his story. He called me “Twitter user Jim Stewartson” and never contacted me for comment. In fact, he blocks me on Twitter and has since I DMed him to ask him to stop trolling me over a year ago.
In his article, Sommer built up a false narrative that QAnon was turning on Flynn, never focusing on the meaning of what my friends and I discovered, all of which which is entirely absent from the false headline. The video, my thread, and the prayer have nothing to do with QAnon. In essence, Will Sommer hijacked a damaging story about Flynn, and turned it into positive story for Mike Flynn; and falsely distanced Mike Flynn from QAnon.
In a gossip story, this would be distasteful spin to get clicks. In this context, this is textbook intentional disinformation for a purpose.
Worse, Sommer went on MSNBC to personally spread this lie on television which effectively killed my discovery while he gained clout from it at my expense — all while making Flynn’s relationship to QAnon seem adversarial, which again is completely false.
This is not sour grapes. I don’t care if Will Sommer goes on TV. I care about the disinformation that he spreads that gives cover to fascists.
Will Sommer even misused my story to downplay Mike Flynn’s overt and aggressive plan to turn America into a theocracy.
If you think this is not intentional, I have dozens of tweets of Will Sommer smearing me in conjunction with same the group of trolls that has been harassing me non-stop since August 2020.
For example, below is Will Sommer with another troll in this group connected to Doug Stewart, blatantly lying about me and calling attention to a different troll who illegally posted my 18 month old private Discord messages on a website.
The accusation that I “stole” anything is slander. I did not — as anyone who actually read the messages could see immediately. Mike Rothschild also quote tweeted this troll and said that reporters should dig into the messages to see if they could find anything to write a hit piece with. So far, I can count more than five articles that Mike Rothschild and Doug Stewart’s allies have manufactured to smear me with.
Why are these people so devoted to lying about me?
Since Will Sommer’s story, Doug Stewart’s allies have been persistently working to prevent anyone from taking this video seriously — and to get me suspended from Twitter so I can’t continue my work.
Sommer’s article was either deeply ignorant or intentionally wrong. Since he actively pushes this narrative and attacks me non-stop, I can only assume it’s intentional.
Will Sommer seems dedicated to downplaying Flynn’s involvement. Mike Flynn’s family is not and was never “at war with itself over whether QAnon is real” and the idea that Mike Flynn Jr. is the “voice of reason” is bizarre. The Flynns were on QAnon shows throughout 2018. They knew exactly what they were doing.
Why does so much of Will Sommer’s reporting provide cover for Mike Flynn?
Professional Troll Mike Rothschild
Doug Stewart’s friend Mike Rothschild also started immediately undermining this video as well — with nonsense.
To this day, anytime this video is posted, a crew of trolls chases it down and brigades the comments with garbage like this which ignores all context and the enormous amount of information I included in the thread to back up the fact that this prayer was intentional. Nonetheless, each time, dozens of trolls pile in with lies about me, disparaging noise about the work and non-sequiturs designed to muddy the water.
Let’s break down Rothschild’s quote tweet below. First, Rothschild pushes the assumption that Trump and his team tweeted QAnon references without knowing their meaning which is absurd.
Justin McConney (until March 2018, more on him soon) and Dan Scavino knew exactly what they were doing on Trump’s account to amplify QAnon. Trump’s Twitter account played along with QAnon on hundreds of occasions starting in Dec 2017. Rothschild knows this or should.
Also, even though QAnon is irrelevant to the video in the first place, Rothschild throws in a random Trump tweet anecdote related to QAnon to muddy the water and try to discredit me while he portrays himself as an “expert.” This is just a non-sequitur that your average person would not be able to unravel — which is the point.
Sommer’s tweet is even more misleading. To be clear, Flynn was speaking in front of two thousand people in a Christian Church. Flynn claims to be a devout Catholic from birth but also said this occult prayer was from his mother and he kept it in his wallet. He subsequently changed his story several times as I exposed more. “I AM” theosophy is commonplace in QAnon and was spread by many of the major QAnon accounts, like Lisa Clapier aka “Snow White.”
To break Sommer’s disinformation in this tweet down:
“Michael Flynn has embraced his profitable role as a QAnon star” makes Flynn appear to be only in it for money, a “grifter,” which is false, and absolves Flynn of planning and executing anything, which he absolutely did.
Another assumption embedded in the tweet is that Flynn came in after QAnon started and they “embraced” him later. This is also false and absolves Flynn. QAnon did not “embrace” Mike Flynn. Mike Flynn created QAnon and Will Sommer knows it and spins his stories like this anyway. Why?
“QAnon has turned on him” is false. They did not. Some evangelicals and dominionists did however, which was the entire point of the video. Flynn was trying to pull Christians into his cult and forced them to commit heresy on purpose. It had nothing to do with QAnon. It’s syncretism, using religion to pull people into a cult, and it happened in Weimar Germany too.
“In what they [QAnon] say is a Satanic prayer borrowed from a nuclear doomsday cult” makes it seem like QAnon is accusing Flynn of using an occult prayer rather than there being absolute video proof provided by me.
Separate from the year and half of abuse I’ve dealt with from Rothschild and Sommer, this is blatantly unprofessional conduct that is intentionally spreading disinformation.
To be extremely clear, these two Twitter-verified journalists are collaborating in a sustained campaign of harassment and defamation, all while spreading disinformation while they claim to be against it. Again, these are not accusations. It’s just data.
Rothschild and Sommer have already worked closely with Doug Stewart — one of the most dangerous chaos agents on the internet — on the deceptive Q Slayers LARP to target people and appear to be coordinating with him again — this time to destroy my life and my voice in order to cover up the truth. I think it’s time anyone who took either of them seriously, to take another hard look at who they really are.
The Satanic Temple
For example, how did Mike Rothschild end up speaking at Grey Faction / The Satanic Temple to participate in a conference devoted to dismissing “conspiracy theorists?”
“Lucien Greaves” is actually Douglas Misicko, a dangerous white supremacist occultist who has been involved in “The Process” for a long time.
Among Grey Faction’s primary goals are to promote “False Memory Syndrome” which is propaganda designed to discredit the testimony of victims of abuse.
Chaos Op: Destroying The Thinkin Project (TTP)
Without going into too much detail, TTP was a project I started at the end of 2020. I had gained a lot of friends through my investigation. My DMs on Twitter were exploding with people who wanted to help and I thought it would be a good time to organize before January 6th — which I knew was going to be a disaster. So I started a Discord server to push out this message.
After we organized to warn about 1/6 — we had a lot to do with the reason no one from the left showed up — the goal of our group was to collect information from experts on cults and undue influence and educate family and friends of victims about what’s happening and how to help. There were about 500 people in the server and we collected a huge amount of information and were just starting to organize when everything went to hell.
In summary, Doug Stewart’s allies ran a coordinated attack on my group and tore it apart from the inside out.
“Two-sided op” named “Matt” aka “Magic Window” befriended me while I was setting up TTP. His partner “Nicole” joined him a little later.
A “two-sided op” is someone who pretends to be a friend but is there for harmful reasons. “Magic Window” and “Nicole” pretended to help for a few months while they used the information they got to attack us through numerous sock puppets and, by all appearances, inform Doug Stewart and his allies about our plans so they could disrupt them.
In early February 2021, as TTP was being trolled ruthlessly from the outside, I got a DM from this Vice News reporter and had a friendly conversation with him about our plans.
The reporter then disappeared for three weeks and embedded with people attacking me to allow them time to manufacture chaos and drama, including a number of incidents that were used against us that were coincidentally caused by “Matt” and “Brad” who is another two-sided op that got through.
Brad
“Brad Wolgast” is a lawyer who has made it his business to try to destroy me for over a year. Brad deploys numerous sock puppets to defame me which I have identified.
Over a year ago, right at the beginning, Brad joined TTP and was active so I made him a mod, which proved to be a huge error in judgment. The day before the insurrection, Brad deleted a Discord channel where we had been organizing memes to tell people to stay away on 1/6. I assumed it was a mistake and reassured him.
I now know it wasn’t a mistake.
I warned Brad (his real first name) through his law firm’s website nearly a year ago that he should stop attacking me or he is going to be disbarred. I keep my promises.
Here’s more about Vice News reporter David Gilbert and what happened. Gilbert is dedicated to platforming my trolls in his articles, spreading their disinformation about Russia and QAnon, and attacking me on Twitter.
It should not be surprising that the majority of the people attacking me now participated in the operation to destroy my volunteer group as well, including the aforementioned KassandraSeven.
This is textbook concern trolling. It was just the beginning. It went on for months from dozens of trolls and thousands of hangers on.
Mike Rothschild was one of the biggest cheerleaders of the destruction of my project to help the loved ones of cult members. He called us a cult, made up a conspiracy theory that I wanted to kidnap kids, told all his followers to block anyone in our group, and pitched every journalist he could find on a hit piece and whispered lies to everyone else.
Below, Rothschild blatantly lies about what I said in order to discredit me and my volunteer organization.
Mike Rothschild took the opportunity to say this about me — while amplifying a troll who has been dedicated to lying about me personally for 14 months now.
This is what they do. They take everything you do, everything you say and do their best to use it against you.
I was instrumental to a 60 Minutes segment about the trauma that friends and family of victims of QAnon experience that aired 2/22/21. I had worked with the producers for many hours and sat down for an hour with Lesley Stahl as well. And I supplied several sources to them, including the main person interviewed for the piece.
Will Sommer also chimed in with the insinuation that I am a danger to kids. I told him to stop in DMs and he blocked me.
Here is the completely manufactured and defamatory article that Vice News published based on this reporter’s harmful muckraking. We were barely two months old and only “falling apart” because of what was being done to us. We made no “big promises about deradicalizing QAnon believers.”
“Deradicalizing QAnon believers” was exactly what I told David Gilbert we were not doing and he put it in the headline anyway. We had no plans to talk to victims directly — we simply wanted to educate their friends and family.
Why did he do this? I don’t know, but I would like to know how this reporter and Vice News ended up cooperating with Doug Stewart’s allies in the project to ruin my life.
At this point you will probably not be surprised that in this article Mike Rothschild got a book plug — which is pure, unadulterated disinformation about QAnon that got a single good review, in Russia Today — in the same sentence he called me “dangerous.”
This is literally monetizing my defamation. That has consequences too.
VICE
I should note that Doug Stewart and his good friend Gavin McIness, who founded the Proud Boys, also founded VICE. No less than three current or former VICE employees are engaged in the campaign of personal destruction against me — David Gilbert, Rocco Castoro, and Vegas Tenold — who was cooperating with David Gilbert on a “documentary” that was a thinly disguised extension of his hit piece about me and TTP.
I talked to people who were interviewed for this “documentary.” They were asked leading questions about me and TTP and encouraged to say negative things. David Gilbert also took the opportunity to tell more than one interviewee that my “Flynn theories” are wrong.
Interestingly, Vegas Tenold was platformed along with Doug Stewart ally Will Sommer by Jordan Sather at a QAnon conference when they were noisily escorted from the premises.
The Real BlueAnon
While I have been alluding to similarities between QAnon and Douglas Stewart’s network, please consider the parallels:
Deep hatred of Hillary Clinton
Harsh consequences for speaking up about Russian interference
Use of coordinated trolling and harassment tactics similar to GamerGate
Smearing and disrupting opponents, including friends and business partners
Weaponized journalism
Weaponizing systems like Twitter reporting to eliminate enemies
Noticeable lack of empathy or genuine concern for targets
Gaslighting and propaganda
Harmful, deceptive larping and use of sock puppet accounts
Projecting own harmful behavior onto enemies
This group has many of the markers of a harmful cult. While many of the leaders know what they’re doing, many of their followers do not. They have been sucked into a vortex of hate and attack any targets the leaders choose while rationalizing their behavior because “everyone else is doing it.”
This is no different from what was done to targets of GamerGate, Pizzagate or QAnon.
Trying to talk to anyone in this group rationally about why they attack me and others is similar to talking to QAnon members about why they hate Hillary Clinton. For many of them logic, empathy and common sense has been erased and replaced with hate.
Weaponized Disinformation Network
The participants in this operation are all, wittingly or not, collaborating to commit a number of crimes and spreading dangerous disinformation about things that matter to the January 6th Committee, the FBI, and the Department of Justice.
This network is composed of disinformation agents who downplay, misdirect and deceive to carry the water of fascists and insurrectionists. This network wants you to believe Ron Watkins is the mastermind of everything and that none of this is actually that dangerous.
After I organized my group to warn people about 1/6, predicted what would happen in detail, and tweeted that anti-fascists should stay away, Mike Rothschild ran around Twitter dismissing it and saying “nothing was going to happen” and the real danger was catching COVID. This is not just incredibly unprofessional and antagonistic behavior, it is, unlike what Mike Rothschild accuses me of, literally dangerous.
Ron Watkins is not “Q”
Mike Rothschild’s record of prediction about QAnon is entirely wrong. That‘s just one reason why you should not believe the disinformation being spread by him and this network that Ronald Watkins is responsible for QAnon. That is a lie designed to divert people from the truth.
Doug Stewart has built a network weaponized to target people and tear them apart from their friends, reduce their influence and discredit their work in order to silence their voice. The goal is to change the “narrative” and eliminate truth tellers in favor of disinformation agents and to confuse the information landscape so reporters and the public won’t focus on the truth.
The tactics they are using amount to blatant criminal harassment, defamation and tortious interference. This is what cults do — or the mafia.
National Security Risk
These attacks are not just damaging to me and other individuals, this is a national security risk. The point of all this is to create a false narrative. They want you believe this was “all just a LARP” or “Ron Watkins is Q” or “Flynn is just a grifter” instead of an intentional psyop to destroy American democracy set up by theocratic fascist traitor Michael T. Flynn.
The reason the network is targeting me is because I’m right. They spent a lot of time and effort to destroy my 45,000 receipts on Twitter, and now they are trying to crush the rest of my work. And my life.
If anyone else from this group of harmful operators wants to contact me and get out from under your personal liability, this would be an extremely good time for you to talk. Some of you may have no idea you are being manipulated. Some of you may think you hate me for legitimate reasons. You have been lied to. Contact me.
Not this guy though. He’ll hear from me soon.
Conclusion
I have told a number of people already for safety, but everyone else might as well know: If something happens to me, Douglas Matthew Stewart should be the first door knock. In my informed opinion, Doug Stewart is a sociopath with no boundaries on what he will do to protect his network and his bosses.
I created this chart to try to understand how different influence operations are created to cause conflict, chaos and death. Douglas Matthew Stewart helped orchestrate an astonishing number of these ops. I’m currently the target of “Leftist Anti-Q,” “BlueAnon” and “Menschistan.”
It’s time that people understand, this is a real war, with real casualties. Why would Doug Stewart and his network spend so much effort, time and money to destroy a random Twitter guy like me?
Here’s why: They are afraid — and they should be. They are doing what they always do in response to potential exposure — attacking the truth and the people who dare to speak it. They are attempting to cover up for QAnon the same way they did the theft of the 2016 election — through coordinated disinformation and targeted harm.
This article just scratches the surface of this network and what they’ve done. There are much bigger figures connected to Doug Stewart and QAnon — Steve Bannon, Ezra Cohen, Erik Prince and Peter Thiel come to mind.
While I don’t know who is paying Doug Stewart’s bills currently, the effect of his operation is to cause harm in order to spread disinformation that covers up for Russian interference and the Russia-compromised people who started QAnon. Douglas Matthew Stewart and his network are a national security risk — which is the goal.
Anyone still around Doug Stewart — please know that you are liable to get thrown aside at any moment. He does not care about you. Or anyone else. Your best move is to stop what you are doing and contact me immediately. Many of you will be contacted either way. I am serious. Make the right choice.
Finally, to my friends and supporters. Thank you for everything. It’s going to get bumpier I imagine. Hang in there. 💙🇺🇸🏴☠️

Well, there we go. Excellent.
Thanks, Jim. I admit I was a tad overwhelmed by this tsunami of information. I spent several hours last night blocking all the malign actors you listed. Thank you.
