QAnon Believer Busted For Vandalizing Ancient Archaeological Site Thanks To His Own Twitter Account

QAnon Believer Busted For Vandalizing Ancient Archaeological Site Thanks To His Own Twitter Account

Following months of investigation, police have arrested a man who carved a QAnon hashtag into a 4,000-year old stone landmark in New Hampshire.

According to Patch, police were first alerted about the vandalism at America's Stonehenge on Haverhill Road in Salem, New Hampshire when it was reported in September 2019.

When the police arrived, the site owner explained the vandal left "an unusual wooden cross with several pictures and drawings, suspended from two trees," which suggested execution of the people in the photos by crucifixion.

In addition, the perpetrator had also used a power tool to carve "WWG1WGA" and ''IAMMARK" into the site's main tablet, a detail police found puzzling at the time.

But over the course of the investigation, people began to come forward with connections between the cross, the messages and posts made by a specific Twitter account, which has since been deleted.

The account, named "iammark," had posted some content including the site and the same photos found on the cross.

And then one Tweet in particular hammered home his guilt.

"Do you see any reason not to take down their portals? Boston specifically oh and the 66 Baal shaft? Oh made a few improvements @American Stonehenge (crying emoji) sorry Scottie Wolters my bad (middle finger emoji)."

Investigators also learned that "WWG1WGA" is an acronym used by many online QAnon believers, meaning "Where We Go 1, We Go All."

Eventually, police linked the Twitter account to Mark Russo, a 50-old-man in New Jersey. He was arrested on March 1 and later released on $3,000 bail.

People who heard about the story on Facebook were left with little to do but shake their heads.

Much like the events at the Capitol on January 6, this guy used the internet to make it easy for the police to eventually line up all the evidence they needed.

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was criticized after admitting in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that his proposed fluoridated water ban would likely lead people to have more cavities—but defended the move nonetheless.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Jesse Watters Dragged After Trying To Give Mamdani A Scary Nickname That's Actually Kind Of Epic

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.

MAGA Rep Slammed After Calling For Mamdani To Be Stripped Of His Citizenship And Deported Over Rap Lyric

Tennessee Republican Andy Ogles was called out after he shared a letter he sent to Attorney General Pam Bondi urging her to denaturalize and deport New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani over a lyric in a rap song Mamdani released in 2017.

Mamdani ran a campaign centered around economic populism, arguing that the city, a global financial center, has grown unaffordable for everyday residents, citing soaring rents and grocery prices, and outlining policies aimed at reducing the cost of living.
