The San Francisco Chronicle reported Thursday that the Grass Valley Charter School, located in northeastern California, canceled plans for its annual Blue Marble Jubilee after the school received emails warning that Comey had threatened in a tweet to attack the school.
The tweet in question was an innocuous Twitter meme in which Comey listed five former positions he has held with the viral hashtag "#FiveJobsIveHad," which included his former post as FBI director and others including a stint as a "strike-replacement high school teacher."
Conspiracy theorists involved with the so-called "Qanon" saga deduced that Comey's five listed jobs began with letters that formed the acronym "GVCSF," which they asserted was a reference to the Grass Valley Charter School Foundation, which runs the school.
The supposed reference, they reportedly argued to school officials and police, indicated that Comey was planning a "terrorist attack" on the school.
“The school became aware when these followers of this conspiracy theory guy started contacting the school and the Police Department, letting us know there was this plot that was being uncovered and that we had to be sure to protect the kids and the site,” Sgt. Brian Blakemore of the Grass Valley Police Department told the Chronicle. “The school never received a direct threat; it was people warning them about this plot.”
Out of an abundance of caution, the event was canceled. Organizers reportedly worried that though no attack was likely, Qanon conspiracy theorists could show up in an attempt to "protect" the school.
Remember why, specifically, the Bill of Rights was written...remember its purpose. It was written to limit the power of government over the individual.
There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.
