I first began listening to the X22 report in 2017, during the heady QAnon days following Donald Trump’s first inauguration. The presenter, who goes by the name of ‘Dave’, seemed well spoken and level-headed with a good understanding of things that were going on.
Eventually I lost interest. X22 frequently referred to ‘Q’ but the QAnon phenomenon was becoming increasingly confused – perhaps by design. And then the global censorship regime started making things difficult and X22 was kicked off YouTube.
Perhaps ‘Dave’ was just an opportunistic guy who knew how to make good videos and earn a living from a big YouTube following? Dave is now on Rumble, X, Truth Social and a few other sites. Does he make a living from it? He’s still pushing products, but why not if it pays your bills?
Dave does however, have an online bio. “I am 54 years old and I have children. I lived in NY and I was there for 911 and the North East blackout. I lost my job in 2008 and was laid off. Since 2008 I have been prepping. My wife, kids and I try to eat organic and we try to avoid all chemicals in foods. We make our own bread, food and pizza from scratch.
“I have a technology background and have worked for large financial institutions. My main job was securing the systems from viruses and hackers and maintaining the trading systems so the money flowed from system to system.
“I have tried talking to friends and relatives about what was going on but every time I talked about the government, FED and the economic collapse they looked at me like I was crazy. I decided to start a website and broadcast to the world what was going on. I didn’t really think that anyone would really listen to what I was saying when I started it was just a way to get the word out and get it off my chest.”
‘Dave’ appears to be Elijah Johnson, who posted an online interview in 2014 with an online investor/adviser. Given the US election result and the promised radical reforms of President-elect Donald J. Trump, I wondered if our ‘Dave at X22’ was still online, and sure enough, he was, making his 3549th broadcast, still employing Q-esque symbols and language: “[DS] in panic mode, pieces are coming together, the Hunt will soon begin, War”.
Dave makes some interesting comments about Pam Bondi, the Florida Attorney General who Trump picked for US Attorney General in place of the highly suspect Merrick Garland. Dave notes that in the confirmation hearings, the deep state senators tried to get Bondi to state her beliefs about QAnon and Trump’s 2020 election fraud claims.
Bondi is no dummy, and wouldn’t be drawn, although she admitted she had heard quite a bit about QAnon. Dave makes the valid point that much of this interrogation of federal officials by senators and congressmen is designed to trap them in statements that will be used against them later.
He goes on to say the deep staters are “very very nervous” about Bondi and Kash Patel in particular, Trump’s pick for FBI Director, because they will be heading up a number of investigations “that will bring these people to justice”. We hope so. “I think in the end they will be confirmed and then the hunt will begin,” says Dave.
Her further notes that these Trump appointees will require time to clean “the swamp creatures” out their departments. The difference this time is that much has been exposed since the last Trump administration – the open borders scandal, child trafficking, Jeffrey Epstein and Diddy, Biden’s war mongering, inflation and the UK government’s cover-up of gang rapes.
On the LA fires, X22 maintains it was done on purpose. “They did it …. to make sure they can get that federal money, because again, if those reservoirs were full, if the fire engines were operational, if they tested the pressure of the fire hydrants, the fire would have been put out very, very quickly … they want you to think it was incompetence. Both the Trump assassination attemps were operations and this was an operation too.” The full X22 report can be seen at this link on Rumble.
