By discounting even the mildest deviation from their prescribed languaging of events, our political and media establishment—elite rationalists that they are—present a conceptualization of QAnon that lacks any power to solve the problem because they don’t recognize what the problem is.

The Georgia Republican, who has been a leading critic of the COVID-19 vaccine, initially took issue with the vaccine being administered under an Emergency Use Authorization. With FDA approval looming, Greene publicly advocated against the FDA issuing the approval and on Monday, criticized the fact that it came before Labor Day. “It was supposed to be approved after Labor Day but magically it’s been approved today because President Joe Biden said to speed it up,” Greene told Steve Bannon on his War Room podcast....

Specifically, Milley allegedly convened a rogue meeting with senior military officials in charge of the National Military Command Center, the Pentagon’s de facto war room, to tell them not to accept military orders from anyone unless he was personally involved....

Republicans previously accused Milley—who serves as the chair of the Joints Chiefs of Staff—of treason after The Washington Post reported on a phone call he allegedly made to General Li Zuocheng of China in October 2020 and January 2021 to reassure Li that the United States would not attack China.
