The owner of a Christian surf school in California who has admitted to killing his two young children because he believed they’d inherited serpent DNA from their mother told the FBI he was radicalized by the former BBC sports presenter-turned-conspiracy theorist David Icke.
Matthew Coleman, 40, told FBI agents last August that in the days before he killed his children, he’d been having visions and seeing signs that revealed to him that his wife, Abby, “possessed serpent DNA” and was potentially a “shape-shifter.”
Coleman said he believed his wife had passed the reptilian DNA on to his children—2-year-old Kaleo and 10-month-old Roxy—and that his children now possessed “corrupted DNA” that would spread if something wasn’t done about it, according to a new court filing reviewed by VICE News.
Ultimately, Coleman drove his two children from their home in Santa Barbara to the Mexican resort town of Rosarito. He told FBI agents that in the early hours of Aug. 9, 2021, he killed both children by stabbing them through the heart with a spearfishing gun. He then dumped their bodies by the side of the road.
Coleman said they were going to “grow into monsters” and killing them was the only way to “save the world.”
Based on his social media posts, Coleman was living an idyllic life on the California coast, as the owner of a successful surf school, a devout Christian, and a loving father and husband.
But court documents have revealed that he and his wife had become radicalized by conspiracy theories and both had begun researching QAnon online. However, Matthew Coleman became more paranoid, seeing signs and symbols everywhere leading him to conclude that everyone from his closest friends and even his wife were part of a conspiracy.
This is why I can’t laugh at these losers. One minute they’re saying hilarious nonsense about lizard people and the Earth being flat, next minute they’ve acted on their beliefs.
Reactionary fascist which make no mistake these people absolutely are. Are not a joke they are dangerous and they will murder anyone who stands between them and their ideology

I’ve noticed how rarely Lakonian vase painting is mentioned when discussing Greek pottery, though I find it to be some of the most visually striking and distinctive pottery from Greece! Unlike the Athenians who limit their interior kylix decorations to a smaller tondo within the cup, the Lakonians use up almost all of the interior space of a kylix. This results in these huge images that would come within inches from someones face while they drank from their cups. This is an aspect of Greek pottery that I find to be commonly overlooked–that these objects were meant to be used and and interacted with, not just admired from a distance.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
