“Police intelligence documents show that Washington’s Trump Hotel raised its rates “as a security tactic”, in the hope of deterring Trump-supporting Q-Anon supporters from staying there in early March, on a day which some believed would see Trump restored to office.” A report form The Guardian states that: “The information, which police gleaned from a Business Insider version of a story published in Forbes on 6 February, was confirmed in an 8 February intelligence briefing stolen by ransomware hackers from Washington’s Metropolitan police department (MPD).”

“The hackers from the Babuk group subsequently published those documents online, and transparency group Distributed Denial of Secrets redistributed them to news outlets including the Guardian. As Forbes reported in February, Trump International hotel in Washington raised its rates to 180% of the normal seasonal charge for 3 and 4 March this year.”

“That was a date upon which some adherents to the QAnon conspiracy movement believed would see Trump once again sworn in as president, based on an interpretation of the US constitution influenced by a belief held by many “sovereign citizens” that the US government was secretly usurped by a foreign corporation in 1871, and all legal and constitutional changes since that date are illegitimate.”

The move to keep Q-Anon believers away from Trump properties comes as no surprise, following recent stories showing that many Q-Anon followers have serious mental health conditions.  Recently, the lawyer for the moron who referred to himself as the Q-Anon Shaman was quoted as saying, “A lot of these defendants — and I’m going to use this colloquial term, perhaps disrespectfully — but they’re all fucking short-bus people…These are people with brain damage, they’re fucking retarded, they’re on the goddamn spectrum.”
