    Why is he posting on usenet?
    Jonathan Ball has used Usenet for various purposes, including posting
    under multiple aliases (nyms) and engaging in discussions where he has
    been accused of arguing with himself to feel triumphant. He also used
    Usenet to discuss his academic background, at one point claiming he had
    not completed a Ph.D. program in economics at UCLA, but later finding
    his own posts in Google archives where he had stated the opposite. Additionally, Jonathan Ball started a thread on Usenet with another
    user's home address. Usenet, created in 1980, functioned as a
    proto-Reddit with newsgroups for various subjects, and while Google
    Groups no longer supports new Usenet posts, historical content remains viewable. The decentralized nature of Usenet and its initial lack of
    oversight attracted people to post a wide range of content, including discussions, advertisements, and even pornography.

    times. Some of these include Citizen Benfez, Wilson Woods, Radical
    Moderate, Bingo, Edward George, Bill, Fred, Mystery Poster, Merlin the
    dog, Bob the dog, Elvira, Dieter, Abner Hale, Roger Whitaker, Fucktard,
    Apoo, Ted Bell, Jay Santos, Rudy Canoza, Trappist, and Leif Erikson S.

    Why did he use so many aliases?
    Jonathan Ball used multiple aliases, or "nyms," often to argue and
    defeat himself in a bid to feel triumphant. One source also suggests
    that another alias, "Benfez," might have been Jonathan Ball, and that
    this incarnation was a "welcome improvement" in behavior.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Pothead's posts echo white-supremacist rhetoric point for point. She may not call herself that, but her language repeats the same themes found in "Great Replacement" and ethnonationalist propaganda. A few examples:

    Quote: "There is no number. Come one, come all. Criminals, terrorists, mental patients etc."
    Dehumanizing immigrants, treating them as a criminal horde. This framing is identical to "invasion" propaganda used by white-nationalist groups. https://www.adl.org/resources/backgrounder/the-great-replacement-an-explainer https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/what-is-great-replacement-theory-and-how-does-it-fuel-racist-violence

    Quote: "They want to destroy the country so they can rebuild with a global socialism means. They want to flood the country with people who will settle in blue areas and ... gain control."
    "Flooding" language is lifted straight from the Great Replacement conspiracy theory--the claim that elites import non-white immigrants to outnumber whites politically. https://www.adl.org/resources/backgrounder/the-great-replacement-an-explainer https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/what-is-great-replacement-theory-and-how-does-it-fuel-racist-violence
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Replacement_conspiracy_theory

    Quote: "Do it legally and you are welcomed." / "They came here illegally, they are criminals."
    Boundary-drawing rhetoric used by organized nativist networks to equate illegality with moral corruption and inferiority. See SPLC on FAIR and other restrictionist groups. https://www.splcenter.org/resources/extremist-files/federation-american-immigration-reform
    https://www.splcenter.org/resources/extremist-files/john-tanton

    Quote: "Trump is going after these lazy grifters" / "a LOT of people gaming
    the system..."
    Echoes the "welfare leech" trope. That stereotype has long been used to racialize poverty and build resentment against immigrants and minorities. https://apnews.com/article/race-and-ethnicity-tucker-carlson-jonathan-greenblatt-immigration-3ef70ca8eff84dd2c424288be1cc2f48
    https://www.adl.org/resources/backgrounder/the-great-replacement-an-explainer

    Quote: "Why are my tax dollars funding this?"
    Classic "resource theft" framing--portraying minorities and immigrants as parasites stealing from "real" citizens. https://www.splcenter.org/resources/extremist-files/john-tanton https://www.adl.org/resources/backgrounder/the-great-replacement-an-explainer

    Each of these aligns directly with extremist talking points documented by anti-hate researchers. Together they form the same structure: immigrants as invaders, elites as traitors, "real" citizens as victims. That's white-supremacist rhetoric whether she admits it or not. ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Didn't you get the memo?

    Trump likes Medicaid fraud.


    "President Donald Trump granted pardons
    to several individuals convicted in huge
    Medicare swindles that prosecutors alleged
    often harmed or endangered elderly and
    infirm patients while fleecing taxpayers." https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/trumps-pardons-included-health-care- execs-behind-massive-frauds


    "President Donald Trump has quietly commuted
    the sentence of a Florida health care executive
    convicted of leading a Medicare fraud scheme to
    pilfer $205 million from the program through
    false means � even as the GOP claims that their
    massive cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, and other
    programs are aimed at weeding out "waste, fraud
    and abuse." https://www.congress.gov/119/meeting/house/118796/documents/HHRG-119-GO00- 20260107-SD070.pdf

    Only in Trump's USA.

    Have you noticed how medicaid fraud has spiked since Trump began his second term? What you you expect from an adjucated rapist and 37 time convicted felon?
