Texas Republican Party new slogan: We Are The Storm

Texas Republicans Say New Slogan Was Inspired by Poem, Not QAnon
Party officials in Texas said that the internet-driven conspiracy theory had nothing to do with its use of the slogan “We Are the Storm” — one of the chief rallying cries for QAnon adherents.
Facing questions about its use of the slogan “We Are the Storm,” a rallying cry for QAnon adherents, the Texas Republican Party is defending its adoption of the language, saying it was drawn from a poem and had nothing to do with the internet-driven conspiracy theory that claims President Trump was elected to save America from pedophile Satanists.
The state party was responding to a report in The New York Times on Thursday about how a small but growing number of Republicans nationwide have signaled support for QAnon, a movement that the F.B.I. has warned could inspire domestic terrorism. The Texas Republican Party’s use of the slogan was cited by some prominent Republicans there as an example of how some in the G.O.P.’s leadership are opening the party to QAnon followers by adopting language used by the movement.
In a statement posted on its website Friday after the article’s publication, the state party said that the slogan came from a favorite poem of the party’s new chairman, Allen West, and that the line had biblical roots.
It is “one of Chairman West’s favorite quotes to use in speeches,” the party said. “He and the entire Texas G.O.P. will not be bullied by partisan leftists in the media into ceding powerful phrases with biblical roots — taken from Psalm 29 — to internet conspiracy groups.”

What storm, Mr. President? You'll find out.

Maybe unwise considering the media will make tropical storm Laura and Marco out to be Katrina 2.0.

I like it... it should be adopted nationally as our standard banner.

I figured it was inspired by Beth on Yellowstone when she told that dude he was the trailer park and she was the tornado.

The FBI field office in Phoenix put it in an unconfirmed memo about potential domestic terror threats because literally less than a handful of crimes have been committed by individuals who were vocal about their interest in Q. That's as simple as it gets.
Q has NEVER advocated violence, vigilante action or anything other than supporting the rule of law, law enforcement and our Constitution.
The Q-related "crimes" are merely a MSM-crafted narrative. Imagine if you sought to connect the dots among crimes committed by individuals who watched the Real Housewives, or got news from TMZ. That's what's being paraded as Q folks being a "violent, dangerous conspiracy theory."
When the truth is uncovered, conspiracy theories are plain ol' 'proof of criminal conspiracy.'

Yeah, we should be worried that they might burn, pillage, loot, and commit acts of violence in major American cities for months on end....oh wait

You sure this is the comparison you want to use?

I just realized BoarEd has not graced us in awhile. Where'd he go?

“We Are the Storm”

Love Texas and Alan West, but the John Cornyn’s and Greg Abbott’s are not the fricking storm

Allen West has toned it way down, for obvious strategic reasons; but he's like a ton of the 'silent majority'...sitting on their arms and ammo and pent up rage, and waiting for the final atrocity from the Dem (ocratic) Fascist to arrive. Election fraud and the resulting anarchy might be it.
I remember West when he was getting started down in a Florida Bar room...he was rallying the crew to head to DC with ropes and pitchforks; and that was before the Dems had went all in Fascist. The 'fire' is still lit; and every single day another outrage piles up the kindling.
West knows what is likely; so does the FBI. Most strong folk do; it's the weak that "can't handle the truth".

The FBI Bulletin Examined
I decided to investigate the origins of the alleged FBI bulletin.
I contacted Jana Winter, the author of the article, and Michael Isikoff, who was credited with developing the lede for the story. (This is the same Michael Isikoff who publicized the infamous Steele dossier that was used to obtain a FISA warrant to surveil Carter Page.) The document embedded in the article is hosted on a private Scribd account. I asked Isikoff and Winter to provide a link to a government website where the bulletin can be found, or other information could validate it. Neither Winter nor Isikoff responded to my request. One would hope they didn’t just find the document on Scribd and assume it was legitimate. If they obtained it from a government source, why not provide information about how it was obtained?
I contacted the FBI’s Phoenix field office. The agent who responded said he could not verify the existence of the bulletin. He suggested I file a FOIA request and referred me to the Bureau’s National Press Office. I searched the FOIA database with no results and filed a new FOIA request with the title of the document as the search query. The FOIA request returned no results.
I contacted the National Press Office, and they could not confirm the existence of the bulletin. They provided links to congressional testimonies of FBI & DOJ officials who addressed this matter and a link to an FBI article describing the categories they use to define violent extremism. The FBI currently has only four categories of domestic violent extremism:
The FBI classifies domestic terrorism threats into four main categories: racially motivated violent extremism, anti-government/anti-authority extremism, animal rights/environmental extremism, and abortion extremism.
One of the links provided by the Press Office pointed to a hearing where FBI Director Christopher Wray testified about violent extremism. Wray said the FBI doesn’t “investigate ideology, no matter how repugnant.”

That doesn't matter. The media has their narrative and talking point. 'FBI domestic terrorists' as an albatross around Trump's neck. All because some loon Watkins is grifting being Q.
You really should take a break from it. It can't end well. Kayleigh/Pence/others denounced it. It is a hoax. Any day now the great awakening isn't happening. No matter how many people you begrudge and despise from Sundance, to those that posted Watkins is a long con...
It won't make it happen. Watkins cash cow can't last forever.

It probably has more to do with the rhetoric espoused in Q-related forums. It's not about Q, it's about the angry people attracted to the idea.

There are a lot of people attracted to the idea of the Back The Blue movement. They want law and order. They want criminals to be put in jail and crimes to end. I'd venture to say some of them get quite angry and worked up about it. A few may even cross the line and take the law into their own hands. Is Back The Blue at risk of being labeled a terror organization?
