The shooting attacks in Plymouth are truly horrific. Four adults and a three year old child were murdered by a scumbag allegedly armed with a pump action shotgun.

This was one of those cases where when the police announced that this wasn’t a terror related incident, I had no hesitation in believing them. Right from the start, based on the location, the modus operandi and what I could gather about the victim profile, I could see that this was not related in any way to Islamic extremism. If this horrific and terrible attack is reminiscent of anything then it is the 2010 Cumbria Shootings where an unbalanced man committed atrocious and unwarranted deeds.

I will not, at least in this piece, name the perpetrator of the Plymouth atrocity in order to not give him any post mortem publicity, but what I’ve found out about him should have rung alarm bells. From what I saw of his social media before it was taken down what we have is a raging weightlifting obsessive, who may or not have been on ‘roids, who was enamoured both of the Incel subculture and the Q Anon Cult and had an obsession with firearms, gaming and motivational speakers, including Jordan Peterson. Now there’s nothing wrong in my view with having a sensible and responsible interest in firearms or gaming or being interested in people like Jordan Peterson but combined together in the sort of person who hated women and believed that women were only interested in money and who felt hard done by, should have been a cause for concern as was his alignment with the Q Cult. This murderous bastard also called himself a ‘libertarian nationalist’ but he’s the sort that civic nationalists like myself would want nothing to do with, because everything that I’ve seen about him so far screams ‘out of control fraggle’. If he or someone like him walked into a political meeting I was hosting or managing, then I’d be very wary and would hope that he would be escorted out ASAP.

The links between this killer and the Incel subculture and Q Anon certainly gives me concern. This is because Britain has a male mental health crisis and having young men shut up in their homes bemoaning their involuntary celibate status and getting affirmative feedback from others in a similar position, especially when this is coupled with adherence to lunatic cults like that of Q Anon, could be creating similar ticking human time bombs. This is something that I must say should be avoided but how is a big question and one which I don’t have the answer to, except to say that those promoting Q like garbage need to be countered with facts and logic.

The killer’s seeming attachment to Q Anon is very worrying. Whilst I was supportive of President Trump when he was in office because I could see that he was making a positive difference to the lives of American citizens, I have no truck with the Q Anon types. It’s one thing to believe that a politician is on the right moral and political side, but it is quite another, extremely deranged, thing to believe that a politician is fighting a battle against ‘Satanic paedophiles’ which is what the Q adherents believe.

Below is a screencap of what is alleged to be a communication by the Plymouth killer, that came via a sensible ‘Gladstonian liberal’ account, that shows the killer speaking about politics and society. The guff about chemtrails and fluoridation of water that the killer comes out with is lunatic enough but his comments about ‘devil worshipping paedophiles’ shows him to be firmly in the camp of the extremely deluded ‘Q tards’.

And

We don’t know at this point the full motives for this murderer’s rampage but it’s unlikely to be organised terrorism. It’s more likely to be the case that here we have a person who may have many of the components that would have, sooner or later, made him dangerous, who has got sucked into a Q Anon cult and an Incel community that caused him to self radicalise. This is sadly not the first set of killings that are connected to a person’s obsession with the lunatic Q Cult. Only very recently a terrible incident happened in California where a man who became obsessed with Q Anon and the similarly mad ‘Illuminati’ conspiracy theory, who believed that his children had inherited ‘serpent blood’ from him and therefore needed to be killed. There was no indication as far as I can make out from the press report into this California case that this tragedy was preceded by any clues that the killer was going off the rails, the guy, who was the owner of a surfing school, appeared quite normal prior to the killings. What appears to have happened is that he believed the stinking lies put out by Q Anon and other similar conspiracy cultists and turned their lunatics into horrific and gruesome reality.

I’m really not surprised to see the Q Anon cult being claimed to have some influence on the disintegrating mind of the Plymouth killer. This is because those behind this cult have created a narrative that hooks the unwary, the disappointed and the social misfit and reels them in and invite them to share in their madness.

Britons have been confined to their homes for the best part of a year and a half because of Covid and my worry is that during that time there will be a lot of people, especially those with fragile minds, who will have had nothing to do but listen to conspiraloons spout their bollocks and who will end up in a worse mental state than when they first started out listening to them. The Q Anon cult is something laughable to those of us who are sane, but is attracting the insane or those who are on the border between sanity and insanity and the fact that this Q Anon bollocks has reached the UK and appears to be one of the motivations behind a murderous act, should give us all cause for concern.

As a free speech fundamentalist I don’t believe that bad ideas, such as Q Anon, should be banned, instead I believe that these bad ideas should be countered by those who are not so completely fucking hatstand as to believe that the world is run by ‘Satanic paedophiles’. If nothing else the deaths that have occurred both in the UK and the USA by individuals enamoured by the Q cult, show that there is an urgent need for many more of us to take on the Q tards when they appear online. Even if we can’t rescue the individuals promoting this shit, at least we might be able to stop other people embarking on the destructive road that is taken when a person starts to believe the cult of Q.

May the memory of the victims of the Plymouth attack be for a blessing and may the perpetrator’s spirit be bound in purgatory for as long as the Eternal One deems necessary.
