Not that I can understand his mind, but I think it's like a self-generated addiction he kept going back to dig up more "secrets conspiracies". It grew to the point he believed he was the one to save the world. Reading some of his old social media posts, he always got an "ego-boost-high" making himself out to be the one with some direct link to the Almighty. Just like a Proverbs says, “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.” It was a choice, his choice. He even says he made himself believe. He wants to call it a delusion, but that's still making it all about him, trying to make excuses. MOO, it's an unforgivable act what he did to those two children.

Man brainwashed by QAnon who killed kids admits he was 'delusional'
Matthew Taylor Coleman, the QAnon-obsessed father, who allegedly killed his children with a spearfishing gun because he believed they had serpent DNA admitted in a letter that he was 'delusional.'www.dailymail.co.uk
In the two-page letter viewed by PEOPLE, Matthew Taylor Coleman had written to a friend about what has been going through his mind in the 10 months since he was locked up for the murder of his two children in August 2021.
'I was deceived,' Coleman wrote in the letter from an undisclosed federal prison in California. 'I was deceiving myself. I know now that the [reptile] DNA thing was a delusion in my own mind. I made myself believe something that wasn't there.'
(Enlarged and Bold by Me to Reply)... The basis is that apophenia (the tendency to perceive a connection or meaningful pattern between unrelated or random things) fuels these kinds of conspiracy theories. People spend all of their time searching for clues that don't exist. And in some cases, the clues they're being given guide them away from reality, into dangerous rabbit holes.
Thank You for this article link. I will want to reread it several times. It's profoundly frightening to grasp the the evil intention and methods used to mess with people's minds."QAnon grows on the wild misinterpretation of random data, presented in a suggestive fashion in an environment designed to help the users come to the intended misunderstanding."

A Game Designer’s Analysis Of QAnon
"I am a game designer with experience in a very small niche. I create and research games designed to be played in reality.

...He says it came to him when he was in bed in Mexico. I'm anxious to hear about his social and private communications six months prior to the act.
Our babysitter's parents fell hard for this stuff. A commercial airline pilot and real estate executive!
And I remember when David Icke was doing morning sports on the BBC (early 80's).

Coleman told authorities he had been radicalized by British conspiracy theorist David Icke, and was possessed into thinking there are 'lizard people' on earth, court documents revealed.
Icke's theories are so extreme that he has been banned from Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.
'He explained that he first learned of 'Lizard People' on Twitter and from 'that British guy with white hair,' FBI Special Agent Joseph P. Hamer wrote in his search warrant.
Coleman went on to claim that Q - the name of the anonymous account whose 2017 post to image-sharing site 4Chan sparked the QAnon movement- was communicating with him directly, telling agents that he 'eventually…saw the big picture that he had to kill his children to prevent them from becoming an alien species that would release carnage over the Earth.'
Coleman 'said he knew what he did was wrong, but it was the only course of action that would save the world,' according to court documents.
In the weeks and months before the killings, Coleman also became obsessed with QAnon. He ranted to agents after confessing to the double murder, saying he was 'either crazy or the only person left on Earth that is a true man.'

..."Breadcrumbs are easy to swallow." I picture Coleman going to the dark web daily to gobble up those crumbs like he's playing the game PAC MAN.
Hi @Niner -- This case is still assigned to Judge Bencivengo and the docket since being moved from Northern to Southern CALIF US District Court is pretty skinny.I quoted this article - back on post #517 page 26 in May.

Court Hearing Delayed for Santa Barbara Man Accused of Killing His 2 Children in Mexico | Local News | Noozhawk
Federal prosecutors haven't decided whether to pursue the death penalty for Matthew Colemanwww.noozhawk.com
The judge granted the request and set a new hearing date of July 28 in U.S. District Court, Southern District of California.
But I have looked at Judge Cathy Ann Bencivengo's calendar schedules since May - and yesterday (7/26) & today (7/27)- she has no court hearings, also tomorrow 7/28 she has none. She does have several cases on 7/29/22 - but Coleman's name is not on there.
@Seattle1 Is there somewhere else besides - this link:
that you might info on his next court date? And is the Judge still Bencivengo?
TIA!![]()

(For You, @Niner.) A status hearing in the case is set for February 9.
Yes, it is:Hey! Is that date 2/9 in the article? I can not access it - is why I ask. The Judge's schedule right now only goes thru 2/3.
Yes, it is:
