New Jersey Conspiracy Believer Charged with Vandalism of America's Stonehenge

3/3/2021

46 Comments

 
After a 15-month investigation, a New Jersey man has been charged with one count of criminal mischief in the vandalism attack on America's Stonehenge that left the New Hampshire colonial cold cellars wrongly believed to be an ancient Old World monument defaced with QAnon slogans. Mark Russo, 50, is currently is in jail in New Jersey waiting for extradition to New Hampshire to face trial.
The New Hampshire Union-Leader reported some of the details:
Russo was arrested after police found images of the stone and Russo online. Detectives connected him to a Twitter account responsible for a Tweet referencing “a few improvements” at the site. The images on the cross were also linked to Russo, police said.
The newspapers also falsely reported that the tourist attraction was 4,000 years old and likely built by Old World people. The paper repeated claims straight from the site's website, with only a brief reference that "skeptics claim" the site to be a nineteenth century construction. Additional details were reported on Twitter.

Russo's now-suspended Twitter account had posted tweets in which Russo discussed his desire to destroy the Washington Monument (which he called a monument to Baal) and the obelisk at Bunker Hill, and he cited History Channel and Travel Channel host Scott F. Wolter, a conspiracy theorist, from whose show America Unearthed he had learned about the false claims made for America's Stonehenge, specifically the episode I reviewed here.
Picture
Russo apparently believed America's Stonehenge to be an evil pagan monument that had to be defaced and destroyed to break its prehistoric power in the name of God and QAnon, wrongly believing Wolter's allegations on America Unearthed that the colonial cold cellar had been the scene of grisly human sacrifices. The cider press popularly called the "sacrificial table" was the target of the vandalism attack authorities charged Russo with committing.

In brief, one nut defaces another nut’s property based on false information from a third nut. A cubed nut situation. Wonder if nut A used a loaded lodestone to find his way.

HaHA, I like that one. But let's get serious for a moment. It is getting tiresome reading about idiots who go around destroying and vandalizing pictographs, historic battle sites etc. In a National Geographic magazine from way back, think the 1970s-10990s, they had a photo of of large designs in the California desert, similar to the NAzca lines. Anyhow, in the photo, the State of California had placed chain link fencing around the site to stop the morons from doing wheelies and donuts on them.You could even see the tire tracks they left behind.

Airing tomorrow Wolter plus owner caretaker of America's Stonehenge, Dennis Stone, will join lead investigator of the #HolzerFiles​ Dave Schrader in a merry quest for " the origin of the hauntings that lie in the strange rock formation". (America's Stonehenge)

"As they unearth the site's haunted past, they soon discover that they are dealing with more than restless spirits, and see for themselves why Holzer insisted on keeping his family far away from the horrors of Mystery Hill."

Not quite. You've been hung up on mounds, pyramid myths, and James Dean's sexual orientation for too long.

I personally like the discussion regarding the depressions with no drainage immediately outside certain structures. Likely a specific pagan practice assimilated by the Catholic Church. Have you dipped your fingers in holy water lately? I can even see these depressions as offering bowls for water. That's my educated speculation.

There might be some new facts for you to evaluate soon regarding this altered complex.
No Catholic military orders, stone holes, trade marked symbols, or credit card and toothpick tests.

Good job catching the vandal. I'm really surprised they caught the guy. Most police put the same amount of effort into vandals as they do the meth-heads that steal your bike. The only way you're getting your bike back is if the police stumble upon him passed out from huffing the spray paint he stole to change the color of the bike. Otherwise the color is quickly changed and it's soon hooked up to a trailer made from a converted baby seat. It will be carrying a recliner, half a pool table, a bag of aluminum cans, several pieces of sheet metal and an office chair. Amazing how a 90 lb man can generate that much force.

It must have been for ritual purposes because Indians just weren't smart enough to invent root cellars. That would have to wait for the arrival of the White Man.

"7 Short Grooved Drain in Bedrock There is a short roughly pecked straight groove in the bedrock next to the Mensal Stone Chamber. It is oriented north to south towards the end wall of the chamber.Groove: 12” long x 2” to 3” wide.Waterfall Drain The grooved drain feature has a straight pecked groove placed down the center of a pecked rectangular depression. It is located on top of a capstone over a covered drain. The rectangular depression has a squared-off end on its east side. On the opposite west side the depression narrows as it connects with an L shaped corner on the edge of the capstone. The drain down the center of the depression exits at the L shaped corner.Three inches below the exit point is a stone plate. Water poured into the drain exits at the edge and cascades over the edge forming a small waterfall."

"So in a few days Eben appeared, and I [Gladys] began my lessons in making a special type of basket. He explained that Little People lived in the woods and along the beaches and that in early times it was customary for groups going out to gather food plants, herbs for medicine, fishing, or hunting, to put some corn bread and meat in a small basket and leave it for the Little People."

Is it possible that Indians invented the coffee cup holder before the White Man?

"A stone slab with a crudely pecked circle with a post hole in the center was found on top of the southeastern end of the Sunken Courtyard unit."

Buh-buh-buh but you said there were no stoneholes!

I've never stated any shade of skin pigmentation regarding explorers. You must be one of those who think Leif Erikson just discovered natives living in what he called Vinland. Cartography is telling a different story. That is in the hands of the British Library now who own the Cotton World Map. It is up to them to pay for and have done actual multi-spectral imaging. This will reveal the North American coastline! Interestingly the most prominent feature is Cape Cod but, that's NOT the area labeled "Tara". Nor is it the place bearing the trademarked symbol.

Jump ahead of few hundred years and you'll find this. Always found on the "River of the Blessed Mother".

In the context of school massacres in the US I learned that psychological illnesses are often not treated appropriately in the US since the health insurance system does not pay for it. Would it be legitimate to ask the question whether this could have an impact not only on school massacres, but also on many other strange behaviours of certain citizens in the US?

This is only one possible explanation, of course, but I have a hard time to believe that such a belief and behaviour is incited primarily by politics and TV shows.

Look, the idea of destroying and "adapting" historical monuments, errrr, who brought this up in recent years? Trump?! Not really.

At the same time, saint Biden claims to be the savior of democracy, although obviously elected by rules not written in the constitution (don't tell me lies, the minority vote of Justice Thomas Clarence was very clear), claims to unite the country by destroying dissenters, claims to boost economy by canceling thousands of jobs, and also claims to have produced vaccine out of nothing once he entered office giving explicitly no credit at all to the "last administration" in this matter. "Saint" Biden is not so far-fetched, because you need a wonder to be canonized ...

Obviously, the US have a wonder-maker in the White House, now. There is much need to talk about anti-rationality, but it's not Trump.

A cider press gets spun by pseudonobs as the site of ancient pagan sacrifices of little boys. A wackjob upset at the notion of a site of ancient pagan sacrifices of little boys within sight of Fenway shows his displeasure with the the site by vandalizing it. Wolter accuses skeptics, all of whom see the structure as a lye or cider press and not the site of ancient pagan sacrifices of little boys, of of culpability in the vandalism of the site by someone that believed pseudo claims that it was the site of ancient pagan sacrifices of little boys.

"Within a day I had discovered the Twitter account of a man who seemed linked to the vandalism. By the end of the evening, I had found the confession of his accomplice. Both men posted about the vandalism with only the thinnest veneer of caution. Their Twitter feeds outline many details of the crime, their personal beliefs, their association and feelings of fellowship with each other, and how both men turned to conspiracy theories to deal with grief."

" In a thread responding to another influential QAnon promoter @Cordicon, @mark52525786, who had identified himself in previous tweets as Mark Russo, had posted a tweet showing a picture of himself standing in front of the cider press stone, wearing a QAnon t-shirt and a camo Trump hat, another photo of the crucifix in the tree, and shockingly, a claim of responsibility."

Jim,

it was only one man on the site. Not two. The other man only consented but did not take action. Big difference, if you know about psychology.

And he was not inspired by UFOs but by a documentary movie "The Smiley Face killers", as your source says.

Then the source says, both are fundamentalist Christians, but QAnon believers at the same time.

Now we have rich choice: Was it the Christian fundamentalism? The QAnon belief? Or "The Smiley Face killers" show?

Furthermore we learn, that both were QAnon believers BEFORE joining Twitter! How is this possible? They cannot have become QAnon believer just by watching CNN! Any explanation is missing.

And allegedly the whole social environment of the man is QAnon. But ... on Twitter only. We do not know anything about his real social environment. But the article suggests that the Twitter environment would say it all. It does not.

Then they are called "domestic terrorists" only because they destroyed a piece of stone?! Exaggerated. You are a terrorist if you threaten lives, not stones. They are just mentally ill criminals, not terrorists.

Finally, this man was caught in deep grief. It is obvious that he has mental problems. We just need to wait for the appropriate judgement of the psychologist of the US justice system.

While any act of vandalism is heinous disturbing what is basically a roadside attraction and commercial tourist trap isn't like the Taliban destroying sacred Buddhist monuments. The real loss is it muddies any future attempt to date the site in a rigorously scientific way to dispel the myths.
I travelled from NY to Miami every year since I was born. I saw every scam from drain fields filled with pond scum and passed off as captured sea monsters to 'mummy mermaids' made from dessicated spider monkeys and manatee flippers. The wrestling Ape Farm was real. I wrestled the chimp but my brother grappled with a silverback gorilla. Only time I saw him pinned.
I think I mentioned once before I knew the best friend of the recluse who erected the locally famous Coral Castle. The AA 'theorists' claim it proves he discovered anti-gravity or was gifted with such technology by aliens. Most people don't know the monuments were moved to the present site when the original location was surrounded by urban sprawl (the second is too now). He simply borrowed his friend's truck and hired Cuban and Mexican day laborers to transport the stones to the new site. The stones in any case are relatively lightweight porous coral quarried right on the spot and their weight is always exaggerated more than Andre the Giant's. The first raising may well have been done by the creator alone, but as there are still the rusted remains of gas engines, pulleys, etc., it wouldn't have taken a miracle to simply lever up the stones into position. My brother and I when we did landscaping in Florida placed one ton coral blocks onto his truck with nothing but chains and a winch. No different than tow-trucks carting off vehicles.

Well Anthony, if you can disprove the science used as bad have at it. Perhaps take a good look at a photo on your cell phone and tell us how old the plate is.
Perhaps the earth is actually flat ? I mean it was thousands of years old science that showed the earth being round, must be wrong then huh ?

This is soooo easy Anthony, but still neither you nor the moronic Scott Wolter can see the painfully obvious.

The plate, when it was made, was manufactured without any material that could be carbon 14 testable.
Whatever material that that Wolter wants to date was acquired by the plate AFTER it was made and cannot possibly date the actual plate.
I can dig a hole thousands of years deep in only a half an hour, If I bury a 2020 quarter in this hole and some 1000 year old carbon dateable material clings to it, does that make the quarter 1000 years old ?

Get a grip Anthony, use just a tiny modicum of critical thinking or common sense rather than blindly supporting your pseudo hero.

Walter is making a complete ass out of himself and everyone with half a brain can see it.

Woeful Wolter still doesn't get it !
After Anthropologist and, archaeologist Melissa Darby told him basically the same thing I said regarding the the age of the soil clinging to a buried object. Woeful Wolter says what is on the plate after it is buried will give a minimum age date !!!
Does he think the plate itself produced carbon date able material ?
Maybe he thinks material was magically produced on the plate as soon as it was buried ?

"Melissa Darby
@lowercolumbia1·
14h
I asked the folks at Beta Analytic where I often send specimens for dating and they said: The soil an object is buried in may have already had some age to it when the artifact was placed. You can see soils are not the best material to try to use for dating something buried in it."

"Scott Wolter
@RealScottWolter
The buildup on the surface is secondary and developed on the surface after burial. I use Beta as well. This material will give a minimum age date. Do it please."

And here is the kicker, no one even knows if the material clinging to the plate is organic or not !
Wolter is just assuming it is.
Brass when exposed to moisture commonly produces a black oxidized crust, this is probably what this stuff is.

Since the holders of the plate (University of California, Berkeley) won't let the pseudo scientist Wolter conduct any tests on it, (and rightfully so, given his history) it seems Wolter is trying to use the well respected Melissa Darby as his surrogate to beg on his behalf for a useless test that cannot possibly show anything of relevance with regards to dating the plate.

" Do it please."

O M G,,,, Wolters twitter feed is a riot !!!

He has gone and done it !,,,,,,,,,,,, He has finally put Templars and aliens together.

" The Templars were definitely onto to something; could they also have tapped into ET’s in some way?"

Thank you to Anthony G, Jim and T Franke!! BRAVO! 👏 encore encore!

Ok….i am So happy my internet travels this morning led me to this page! Very neat little corner of intellectual cyberspace! Very entertaining! This was actually a VERY informative discourse with just enough tension to keep me reading!….., of course ….could have done without the attacks on persons participating… as lacking intelligence or stupid, (but wasn’t from you three, your disses were witty, facetious, and purposeful! Also-I still felt they contained compassion for the human on the receiving end )what you all are discussing is way beyond my personal paradigm of science or sphere of knowledge, but felt the cracking of some of my old biases/beliefs about science from all of your useful and interesting links….
But ya"……..thanks for the entertainment and education!
