At some point I'd be willing to believe that the whole Q business is projection. Maybe THEY're eating babies and performing satanic rituals. Would you be surprised at this point?

More specifically, the people who actually think that it's at all believable in the first place will tend to include the ones who are most likely to be attracted to the idea... and, taking it further, the very fact that large numbers of Q believers are promoting those particular brands of falsehood increases the chance that those believers actually would engage in that behavior. The very idea that eating human babies is supposedly very beneficial is a setup for atrocity.
 
Should the internet be concerned?

From: US News and World Report
A very strange thing happened on the internet the day President Joe Biden was sworn in. A shadowy company residing at a shared workspace above a Florida bank announced to the world’s computer networks that it was now managing a colossal, previously idle chunk of the internet owned by the U.S. Department of Defense....The military hopes to “assess, evaluate and prevent unauthorized use of DoD IP address space,” said a statement issued Friday by Brett Goldstein, chief of the Pentagon's Defense Digital Service... What a Pentagon spokesman could not explain Saturday is why the Defense Department chose Global Resource Systems LLC, a company with no record of government contracts, to manage the address space....The company did not return phone calls or emails from The Associated Press. It has no web presence, though it has the domain grscorp.com. Its name doesn’t appear on the directory of its Plantation, Florida, domicile, and a receptionist drew a blank when an AP reporter asked for a company representative at the office earlier this month.

So what do people think? A competent company that has managed to maintain an extremely low profile? Or some shady borderline criminal organization that the Trump administration got involved with, that Biden will have to deal with?

Not enough information to determine what, exactly, is going on, much as I'd add the possibility of a Pentagon surveillance scheme. Still, the whole thing has "suspicious" written all over it.

The only name associated with it on the Florida business registry coincides with that of a man listed as recently as 2018 in Nevada corporate records as a managing member of a cybersecurity/internet surveillance equipment company called Packet Forensics. The company had nearly $40 million in publicly disclosed federal contracts over the past decade, with the FBI and the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency among its customers.

That man, Raymond Saulino, is also listed as a principal in a company called Tidewater Laskin Associates, which was incorporated in 2018 and obtained an FCC license in April 2020. It shares the same Virginia Beach, Virginia, address — a UPS store — in corporate records as Packet Forensics. The two have different mailbox numbers. Calls to the number listed on the Tidewater Laskin FCC filing are answered by an automated service that offers four different options but doesn’t connect callers with a single one, recycling all calls to the initial voice recording.

Saulino did not return phone calls seeking comment, and a longtime colleague at Packet Forensics, Rodney Joffe, said he believed Saulino was retired. Joffe, a cybersecurity luminary, declined further comment. Joffe is chief technical officer at Neustar Inc., which provides internet intelligence and services for major industries, including telecommunications and defense.

In 2011, Packet Forensics and Saulino, its spokesman, were featured in a Wired story because the company was selling an appliance to government agencies and law enforcement that let them spy on people’s web browsing using forged security certificates.

To add a bit more to the weirdness, though...

Deepening the mystery is Global Resource Systems’ name. It is identical to that of a firm that independent internet fraud researcher Ron Guilmette says was sending out email spam using the very same internet routing identifier. It shut down more than a decade ago. All that differs is the type of company. This one’s a limited liability corporation. The other was a corporation. Both used the same street address in Plantation, a suburb of Fort Lauderdale.

I started a thread on this in the Computer/Internet subforum:

Is this something to worry about or a coincidental nothingberder?

Biden (the dictator of all dictators) is gonna force us all to drink Plant Based Beer! PLANT BASED!

Is this some kind of joke? I thought beer was made from fermented barley, hops and sometimes other ingredients? Am I wrong?

What is it with these morons?

Now that I think of it, every alcoholic beverage is plant based. Fermented grapes...brandy, Cognac and wine. Fermented potatoes and other grains makes vodka. Fermented Agave makes tequila. Fermented Juniper berries makes gin.

Is there such a thing as fermented pork, beef or lamb? Just checking. Can't imagine that it would taste good.
 
Good report on where the stupid Biden wants to take away your meat came from on CrooksAndLiars.

Kudlow Warns About Biden's Evil Plot To Force 'Plant-Based Beer' On America - Larry Kudlow carries on with the Fox News propaganda message of the day with warning of meat-deprived Americans swilling plant-based beers.
Biden has not proposed any limit on Americans' red meat consumption. In fact, he has not proposed any limit on Americans' consumption of any food. The false claim about Biden trying to restrict people to four pounds of red meat per year appears to have originated with a deceptive Thursday article by the British tabloid The Daily Mail. The article baselessly connected Biden's climate proposals to an academic paper from 2020 that is not about Biden and says nothing about the government imposing dietary limits.

The paper, by scholars at the University of Michigan and Tulane University, estimates how greenhouse gas emissions would be affected if Americans hypothetically decided to change their diets in various ways, such as cutting their consumption of beef to four pounds per year. The paper does not suggest a mandatory four-pound beef limit -- and, more importantly for the purposes of this fact check, the paper is just not related to Biden's plans.

The paper was published before Biden had won the Democratic presidential nomination. The paper does not even mention Biden's name. And Biden has never publicly mentioned the paper.

Think Ludlow didn't know he was promoting a lie?
If you read what Kudlow actually said, he's cagey — doesn't say that Biden proposed this, only that some people say this is what would happen. But Fox viewers won't notice, which is the intention 2/

"Some people say" is how the GOP makes its sausage. This was what Trump use to say all the time.

Certainly not an expert, but I think you have to have some form of carb to get alcohol.
 
Kudlow, like so many of T****'s appointments, has no backgroundf or the job he was appointed to ; his college degree was history. He does have considerable work experience but it's unclear how much involved heavy-duty macroeconomics. He only got his job because he appears on Fox and, as slyjoe points out, is usually wrong when he opines ... on anything. Thus, he was a perfect T**** pick.
 
The closest I can think of to animal based alcohol is Mead, based in honey. If there are others I can’t think of them, and Mead is one hell of a stretch.

And now I want an SNL parody for Kudlow meat beer.
 
If anyone was curious about meat beer possibilities like I was:

2014: Meatbeers: 12 Beers Brewed With Animal Meat
Because we like our beer like we like our women: swirling in a vat surrounded by chunks of creatures that once had a fully functioning nervous system. Um, wait. Let’s try that again…...

But before we delve into the diverse ocean that is beers brewed with animal meat, we have to mention one beer that was disqualified from the ranks of Meatbeers, with prejudice.

Chances are, regular readers of this site have already guessed what we have to say about this before we even tell you what country decided to make a beer using coffee beans that were pooped out by elephants, but, once again, goddamn it Japan you’re doing it wrong! Sankt Gallen Brewery’s Un, Kono Kuro doesn’t count as Meatbeer since it wasn’t brewed with any meat, but it also doesn’t count as Meatbeer because it’s ******* insane and involves putting poop in your ******* beer. Poop. In your beer....

Heh, heh. Cock ale. Heh. Hand pulled. Heh.

But seriously, apart from being a questionable Google images search term, cock ales (heh heh we seriously will never stop giggling at that name, judge us if you must) were arguably the first beers to be brewed using dead animals, gaining popularity in England during the 17th and 18th centuries. ...

When it was announced that a the Icelandic brewery Steðji (incorrectly referred to as “Steojar” by just about every hand-wringing article covering the story) was brewing a beer with whale meat and ground up whale bone for Þorrablót, which is either a midwinter Icelandic festival or a series of wingdings, the internet just about lost their ****.

Multiple brews are made with bacon.
The beautiful thing about bacon beer is that it’s the least ******* necessary thing you could do to a beer—most smoked beers and Rauchbiers, which use malted barley dried over an open flame, have a spicy, meaty taste that actually can taste more like bacon than many beers that actually put bacon in the wort.

The only reason anyone really makes a bacon Meatbeer is so they can unveil it and say, “Look, this beer has bacon in it, you won’t care how it tastes you bastards are going to drink it no matter how it tastes because it’s beer and it’s bacon and it’s oink oink oink soo-WEE soo-WEE drink your swill fatties!”

Are we going to bemoan the fact that brewing beer with bacon is arguably just a complete waste of bacon? Hell no! Something died for your beer, dammit, embrace your position on the top of this planet’s food chain. It’s the American thing to do....

I think you get the picture. There is more hilarity which follows from there. But take a look because I think you'll be surprised what animal parts people actually think to put in beer. :eusa_sick:

I hope one of these brewers sends some meat beer to Kudlow, be a great pub-licity stunt. Rocky Mountain Oyster beer looks like a great option.

Bacon beer. Well since I see they are now selling bacon maple bars, why not?
