Behind The Anti-Trump Cult That Publicized Multiple Fake Bomb Threats On Twitter

Daily Caller: The leader of Team Avocado, a left-wing conspiracy group, has taken the Facebook page of her “ministry” offline, following an arrest in Newfoundland for tweeting about a fake bomb threat.

While reams of reporting have covered the cranks and extremists on the margins of the post-Trump right, nuttiness knows no party, and the saga of Team Avocado is a good reminder of that. The story begins with a self-styled evangelist who calls herself Hepzibah Nanna.

Hepzibah Nanna — Hepzi, for short — first came to public attention as AuroraInTheDesert, a YouTuber who posted videos of herself getting ‘drunk on the spirit.’ She drifted into the Resistance around the time of Donald Trump’s election to the presidency, and was one of the owners of the @OfficialNMP (not my president) account, which garnered more than 50,000 followers.

The testimonials on her ministry’s website, The Lion Triumphs, contain accounts of her healing those afflicted with cancer and AIDS, as well as testimonials from Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, in which the former president and Secretary of State supposedly extol her services as a spiritual advisor. Nanna posted on Facebook a request for $550 to cover the costs of the Newfoundland trip, to be received via The Lion Triumphs.

Nanna and her friend Sharyn Richardson were arrested in June in Newfoundland and released on bail, with the conditions that they not post to social media and check in with the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary periodically before their court date on August 2. A local reporter in Newfoundland interviewed her shortly after she posted bail, which can be heard below. more

  1. Lost sheep looking (and ripe) for the shearing.

    This illustrates so well how easy it is to bamboozle lost people who are yearning for someone — anyone — to give their lives “meaning.” And once they sign on with that person, they’ll say and do and believe anything in order to keep their new worldview intact.

    A favorite inspiration (of mine): “Sometimes a person’s highest calling is to serve as a warning to others.” Take heed and don’t get so caught up in the people and things of this world that you begin to perpetuate untruths in order to defend your idols.

  2. Outside of The House Of The Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne when was the last time anyone heard of the name Hepzibah? It’s like naming a girl Jezebel, two names which are very rarely if ever used for good reason. I’ve never met a woman named Hepzibah or a Jezebel (in spirit only, hellary is a Jezebel), have you.

  3. FTA: ….with the FBI. My friend is a special agent, I’m not an actual agent but I’m a civilian consultant….”

    Civilian consultant, otherwise known as a snitch.

    Their occult purportedly is the equivalent of Q-anon, only for anti-Trumpers. I’d love to know the names of their adherents. Bill Kristol, George Will, George Conway…
