Apocalyptic Timeline Update : The Other McCain

The YouTube preacher known as ‘Squirrel’

Have you forgotten “The Craziest True Crime Story Ever”? In March 2024, my brother Kirby called my attention to a bizarre tale from Cimarron County in the Oklahoma Panhandle, where five people were arrested in connection with the murder of two women, the result of a child custody dispute over the grandchildren of the local Republican Party chairwoman. Then there was the “cult” angle:

Tifany-with-one-n Adams was friends with Cole Twombly, 50, and Cora Twombly, 44. Along with Adams and her boyfriend, Tad Cullom, 43, the Twomblys were allegedly “part of an anti-government religious group known as God’s Misfits.’ Regular meetings are said to have occurred at the Twombly’s home.” Their membership in this group is disputed, as is the claim of an “anti-government” motive, by none other than the leader of God’s Misfits, a biker from South Carolina known as Squirrel. . . .
The description of “God’s Misfits” as a group is perhaps misleading. Squirrel has a website, a Facebook page and a YouTube channel that comprise what he calls his “online ministry.” His most recent YouTube video, uploaded in February [2024], was based on II Thessalonians 2:3-7 and, like much of his other content, was focused on the interpretation of end-times prophecy. You may not care for eschatology lectures from an untutored biker, but in terms of reading “the signs of the times,” let he who has ears hear! “Let’s talk about what’s going on in the world now,” Squirrel said, talking about the “bloodthirsty terrorists” who attacked Israel. Could this be interpreted as an event of apocalyptic significance?

“Squirrel” saw the 10/7 attack in 2023 as a sign of the times, an omen of the Last Days, and who am I to say he was wrong? Early this morning, someone on X (formerly known as Twitter) put up a post about the Oklahoma Panhandle that caused me to revisit the tale of Squirrel and “God’s Misfits,” and it occurred to me to construct this timeline:

We might add other events to this timeline, but my point is that if you were prone to seek prophetic omens in daily news events, there have been a lot of things happening in the past couple of years that may strike you as potentially significant. We live in an age of radicalization, where the decline of institutional authority and the rise of alternative information sources result in the formation of cliques and factions, each existing inside online echo chambers of voices feeding their confirmation bias.

Why is Nick Fuentes suddenly so newsworthy? Look at that timeline again. Do you see that there have been a lot of events that might produce psychological stress? As I say, many other events could be added to that timeline, and it doesn’t matter what problem it is you’re worried about, the repeated shocks to your mental framework could be traumatic, leaving you with feelings of Fear and Loathing, distrust and suspicion.

Some people are better equipped than others in terms of coping with stress, but even those of us capable of maintaining our sanity in these crazy days may experience certain stress-related symptoms. For example, it’s been four days since I last published a post here, but in those four days I have started and abandoned several drafts of posts I wanted to write, being distracted before I could bring them to completion. Then I have to resist the urge to beat myself up for my lack of productivity, and so forth. Ultimately, I must recognize these symptoms for what they are, and just try to keep myself from being dragged down into a condition of helpless frustration. Depression is bad, but the other side of the bipolar equation — a full-blown manic episode — is much more to be feared.

This is really the threat that faces us in America right now. Some weak-minded people, unable to cope with the stress, and pushed into a condition of rage and despair by an online diet of negative messages, will surrender to the manic urge to do something about whatever it is they’re obsessed with. That’s basically the story of accused assassin Tyler James Robinson, just as it was the story of Robert Gregory Bowers, who committed the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre in 2018.

Of course, it’s one thing to view such events as evidence of mental illness (“Crazy People Are Dangerous”), but others may see them as manifestations of satanic influence — and far be it from me to deny this possibility. Whichever way you see it, each time something like this happens, there is the risk of ripple effects, as other unstable people may be encouraged to commit copycat attacks. Take care of yourself, stay safe, and in the meantime, give me some encouragement.

 
Yes, it’s the Big Yellow Button again. Some readers may be near-sighted, and I occasionally feel the need to enlarge the PayPal contribution button, just to make my need a bit more visible. For the sake of my mental health, I’m feeling an urge to go to a local eatery this afternoon, where I can relax in front of a big screen TV and watch Mac Jones and the 49ers take on their NFC West division rivals, the L.A. Rams.

Some people are worried about their health insurance premiums, but my preferred therapeutic intervention doesn’t require a doctor’s prescription. The industrious descendants of D. G. Yuengling have been providing excellent products since 1829, and I’m certain that some portion of the output of Pottsville, Pennsylvania ($6.50 for a tall draft) could help my current condition. Along with a serving of fish and chips ($13.99), and a victory for the Niners, this would cure what ails me.

With hope for a brighter future amid troubling times, once again I remind you of the Five Most Important Words in the English Language:
