From your first link @darkknight111:

What do you love most about Twitter?

"I love the immediacy of the information shared. Its like my own little Stan Delicious stream of consciousness wherever I go. Plus, I love when people follow me. Like Im a shepherd and they are my flock but I would never wear one of those itchy shepherd robes or carry a staff, unless it was Hermes."

Which makes me think of a couple of things. First, QAnon is always talking about the Standard Hotel...I wonder if this guy's Twitter feed is one of the ones the cabal uses to communicate in code? He is describing himself as a shepherd.

Second, he mentions wanting to carry the Staff of Hermes, which is also known as the Caduceus -- a staff entwined with snakes, which has a very interesting history, according to Wikipedia. I'll bold the goodies:

The caduceus (☤; /kəˈdjuːʃəs, -siəs/; Latin cādūceus, from Greek κηρύκειον kērū́keion "herald's wand, or staff")[2] is the staff carried by Hermes in Greek mythology and consequently by Hermes Trismegistus in Greco-Egyptian mythology. The same staff was also borne by heralds in general, for example by Iris, the messenger of Hera. It is a short staff entwined by two serpents, sometimes surmounted by wings. In Roman iconography, it was often depicted being carried in the left hand of Mercury, the messenger of the gods, guide of the dead, and protector of merchants, shepherds, gamblers, liars, and thieves.[3]

Some accounts suggest that the oldest known imagery of the caduceus has its roots in a Mesopotamian origin with the Sumerian god Ningishzida; whose symbol, a staff with two snakes intertwined around it, dates back to 4000 B.C. to 3000 B.C.[4]

As a symbolic object, it represents Hermes (or the Roman Mercury), and by extension trades, occupations, or undertakings associated with the god. In later Antiquity, the caduceus provided the basis for the astrological symbol representing the planet Mercury. Thus, through its use in astrology, alchemy, and astronomy it has come to denote the planet and elemental metal of the same name. It is said the wand would wake the sleeping and send the awake to sleep. If applied to the dying, their death was gentle; if applied to the dead, they returned to life.[5]

And who is this Sumerian god? Why the god of the underworld of course:

Ningishzida (sum: dnin-g̃iš-zid-da) is a Mesopotamian deity of vegetation and the underworld. Thorkild Jacobsen translates Ningishzida as Sumerian for "lord of the good tree".[1]...He was sometimes depicted as a serpent with a human head.

So we have a serpent with a human head who is lord of the good tree and is the god of the underworld. Sounds a bit like serpent from Genesis, doesn't it?

Apparently, Marylin Manson references this entity in his autobiography, as well:

In Marilyn Manson's 1998 autobiography The Long Hard Road Out Of Hell, Manson encountered a suburban Occultist who pays tribute to Ningishzida.

Hermes, coincidentally or otherwise, was also the name of John D. Norman's newsletter for his second child sex trafficking ring (the Delta Project) which he printed and published from the Cook County jail where he was serving time for sodomising a 10 year old boy.

Really? Wow! Now that you mention it, isn't Hermes the god usually depicted as a boy or young teen?
