Worst Cyber Guy EVER!!!

In the current pantheon of right-wing grifters, few are quite as odious as Ron Watkins, former 8Chan administrator and probable 'Q' shitposter, though not the originator of the whole kerfuffle. In the post November 2020 election period, Watkins has tried to pose as an internet security expert, large systems admin, and election fraud sleuth. This week, Watkins has hit a new low, an accomplishment for a dyed-in-the-wool scumbag such as he... his latest scam is a claim that he has found a Dominion voting systems whistleblower, or rather 'whisteblower:

According to Ron: “Today a new legend is made.”

He’s hyping up an alleged election whistleblower on Telegram.

This feels familiar to his MOAB build-up about Pence on 1/6, which underwhelmed his audience.

Nonetheless, he’s got 300k+ followers on the edge of their seats. pic.twitter.com/0YyoebElAW

After hyping up this whistleblower claim, Watkins delivered a damp squib, rather than a bombshell, a one-minute-and-seventeen-second (17 is a number that looms large in QAnon mythology) video, which is underwhelming, being a series of cuts between publicly available testimony and a scroll through a publicly available Dominion manual:

While most of the rubes were dissatisfied, some of the smarter ones noticed something unusual about the video download:

Sure enough, the rubes got a little more than they bargained for:

Ron left some of his followers with an additional gift. 😬🤡 pic.twitter.com/Vi8SuuJWoF

The marks, needless to say, were not happy:

Here are some examples of people saying Ron’s “whistleblower” vid contained a virus that overtook their calendar. pic.twitter.com/gsGlgZ7RyH

And that, dear readers, is MAGA and QAnon (they overlap a considerable amount) in a nutshell, all hype and predation, with the majority of the rubes being hyped up to be victimized by their leaders. The worst cyber guy EVER (or the greatest troll of all time) got them good, and the sad fact is that, in all probability, only a few of them will peel away from him, just as few of them peeled away from the worst President EVER.
