Today’s background material begins with an unflattering (deservedly unflattering) podcast about Alex Jones.
If your goal today is to get in a good old fashioned Thanksgiving Day fight, yeah, that’s a good start. Dunking on Alex Jones is easy, and relatable to a lot of people. And Alex has made a lucrative career of pushing the boundaries of opinion to being wrong on purpose for engagement for a long, long time.
Then, there’s the much safer dinner conversation starter:
Not safe so much because it’s quality science based information, but because the odds that people at the table want to remain in your proximity far beyond the the passing of the dinner rolls before the main course is carved is about zero. At least for an average family. Ask for the eye roll and a “Whadda Fuck you talkin’ bout?” Get an eye roll and a “Whadda Fuck?”. Although tangentially related to human nature and understanding the psychology of why some don’t and will not ever a message within - complex problems require complex solutions - the material is not easy to absorb. Especially not to several generations of pseudo intellectual black and white only, Trump Good Biden Bad, Trump Bad Biden Good educationally stunted folks that just want to get past any conversation, open a beer and watch the Cowboys win. Or lose. Because Cowboys Bad, or Cowboys Good is also purely black and white.
The Jones podcast brings up a valid point near the end, and it’s fairly clearly mentioned as an opinion. Was Alex Jones a true believer in his nonsense or an opportunistic grifter? That answer being started as believing, then transitioned to full blown con as a little bit of attention and money snowballed. Combined with some undeniable charisma.
A funny thing about misinformation and disinformation is that too much emphasis of whether one truly believes or is just hopping on the money train ultimately does not matter. The internet is suffering from the power law and bad info is circulating like crazy. Bad info that doesn’t care about where it came from. It just is. Building up until the tipping point and boiling over into something like a January 6th riot. When unguided, unsocialized, there will always be a group of people that will plunge into LIBERALS BAD!! content because trying to get them to understand that a controlled burn of a forest fire is a good thing at times. What they’re missing is that you want the adults, the experts in the room, to be the ones that understand the math of power logs versus GIVE ME YOUR MONEY BECAUSE SANDY HOOK IS A HOAX!
Sadly, there is a new bullshitter on BlueSky. It’s still early on and difficult to tell if this is a true believer or an opportunistic grifter. But to hammer the point home, this doesn’t matter. The gematria is bad. Really bad. A new trick I’ve never encountered in my eight years, taking cherry picking the words to a whole new 
In the good old days, a requirement for even the worst gematria was matching the resulting numbers to a word or phrase from list A to a word or phrase from list B. Now you’re allowed to randomly cross out and ignore the letters you don’t like to find evil in every license plate, road sign or gas pump. Don Ill Too Taco. CIA Tom T. Die from Diesel. Ice from Office. FIN, with the note about it being Spanish from the OP. Any bridge clearance is going to have a feet and inches posted. A true believer here is basically scared of the alphabet. Adrian Monk is jealous.
A couple of other clues that this is table setting towards something bigger, my best guess is an Anti-Trump BlueAnon gig:
The individual is admittedly targeted. That is persecuted, hounded. Dark forces are out to get him is why these cherry picked alphabets are dire omens.
And the nearly 800 posts are like the above samples every single day. And it wasn’t until yesterday that the word gematria was even used.
