EXCLUSIVE: Trump loyalist who 'threatened to put a bullet in Nancy Pelosi' is QAnon fanatic who said 'we won't go on offense - unless somebody very high up tells us to' and has been obsessed with president since 1992

Cleveland Grover Meredith Jr., who was arrested last week in Washington DC, said in a previous interview from September: 'We will not go on offense – unless somebody very high up tells us to'

A QAnon fanatic who threatened to put 'a bullet in Nancy Pelosi's noggin' as he headed to Donald Trump's MAGA rally previously boasted he was part of a 'very well armed majority' who would go on offense when given the orders from 'somebody very high up,' DailyMail.com can reveal.

Cleveland Meredith Jr. is being held in federal prison awaiting trial after his truck and trailer were found to be stocked with weapons and bullets, including a stars and stripes handgun, an assault rifle, 2,500 rounds of ammunition and 320 rounds of armor-piercing 5.56 rounds, according to federal court records.

As he drove cross-country to Washington D.C. he fired off texts to friends, one which threatened, according to officials: 'Thinking about heading over to Pelosi C**T's speech and putting a bullet in her noggin on Live TV.'

Now DailyMail.com can reveal how Meredith boasted as far back as September about being part of QAnon and claimed that those opposed to Trump had done 'stuff so wrong that execution is probably going to be necessary.'

And it can also be revealed that Meredith has been obsessed with Trump since 1992 when, he claims, he partied with him and Hugh Hefner in Colorado – and was so committed to the QAnon cause that he paid for billboards advertising the conspiracy theory's slogans around Atlanta.

Speaking of the far-right group, he claimed they 'aren't a ragtag bunch of blood-hungry f**king patriots', but instead 'the very silent, very well armed majority.'

Meredith said: 'We will not go on offense – unless somebody very high up tells us to… If we're needed, call us up.

'Put it this way, those that follow Q, and the plan, for the most part are very patriotic people. Also reserved enough not to do anything offensively. If we need to do something defensively – not a problem.'

The father-of-two added: 'I'm not out here to kill anybody... I'm just out here to try to f**king educate people.'

He became radicalized by QAnon theories in 2017, going so far to post billboards for the group around Atlanta the following year - which also displayed the name of his car wash company Car Nutz

Meredith also took his devotion to QAnon just as seriously, paying for billboards around Atlanta in 2018 with the group's messaging, one with the hashtag #WWG1WGA - meaning Where We Go One, We Go All

Meredith believes QAnon members would also be legally able to 'go on the offense', bringing up the Posse Comitatus Act - something 'QAnon refers to a lot'. Pictured: Billboards Meredith put up in Atlanta with QAnon slogans

Meredith said he's been 'gung-ho' on Trump since 1992 when he claimed he randomly turned up to a party in Aspen with a friend, arriving to a dinner party a 'tech-mogul's house', which was also allegedly attended by Hugh Hefner 

Meredith believes QAnon members would also be legally able to 'go on the offense', bringing up the Posse Comitatus Act - something 'QAnon refers to a lot'.

The 1878 federal law allows for county sheriffs to deputize civilians in a time of emergency to help round up criminals in case the sheriff couldn't do it on his own.

But Meredith said: 'I don't think we're going to get to the point where we need that, but there are a lot of defensive measures in place if this thing were to go hot, which I don't think it will.

'And if it did, I don't think it would last very long.'

Meredith said he didn't think Trump was going to lose the election to Biden, claiming he was sure to win because Trump had replaced all of the corrupt judges and was eliminating the Deep State. 

He said: 'I think there will be a lot of people rounded up. And I think the punishments will be severe. And I don't think it will ever happen again.' 

Meredith said he didn't think there would be any more wars in the world for 'another couple hundreds of years' once Trump 'gets done'. 

He said: 'This will sound cheesy, but I think we're finally entering the age of Aquarius. We're moving on to the next level of humanity.'

Meredith said he's been 'gung-ho' on Trump since 1992 when he claimed he turned up to a party in Aspen, Colorado, with a friend, arriving to a dinner party at the home of Charles Wang, the founder of Computer Associates, and Trump opened the door. 

The party was also allegedly attended by Hugh Hefner. Wang and Hefner are both dead, making the claim impossible to verify independently, but Wang is not known to have been linked to Trump, although Hefner was close to the then New York property developer. 

The father-of-two was taken into custody after he traveled from Colorado to DC to attend Trump's rally, and prosecutors are arguing that he's a danger to the public and should remain behind bars

Meredith has been a loyal fan of Trump since an alleged chance meeting in Aspen in the 1990s, going so far to decorate his electric blue sports car with giant stickers of Trump's Walk of Fame star

HOW I CAME TO INTERVIEW QANON FANATIC CLEVELAND MEREDITH MONTHS BEFORE HE 'THREATENED TO KILL' NANCY PELOSI

Back in September, I was working on a documentary on the rise of QAnon – and was looking for Q supporters to interview. A friend mentioned a guy he went to high school with, who was so obsessed, he actually paid to have QAnon billboards put up around Atlanta.

I said, 'Okay, that sounds interesting.'

And that QAnon supporter turned out to be Cleveland Meredith Jr.

Fifth generation Atlantan. Grew up in a military family. Never drank in high school. Owned a business called Car Nutz car wash. Customized his car with Trump logos. Okay, this sounds like just what we're looking for in our documentary.

After I did the hour long interview with Meredith, I sort of laughed him off. He seemed like a flamboyant, but harmless lunatic – who had an affinity for cars and getting stoned. He talked about running track in high school and painting flames down the family station wagon.

But this rabid Q supporter- since 2017 fell deep down the rabbit hole…and never came back.

For several days after interviewing Meredith, he kept sending me text messages of QAnon propaganda – mostly from a QAnon site of confirmation basis of conspiracy information on the horrors of the Deep State.

Meredith viewed the world through his QAnon echo chamber. All the criticism he got for putting up QAnon billboards around Atlanta were seen as confirmation to his conspiracies: 'They're trying to silence anybody out there, opening doors for people to see the truth…When a little guy like me starts getting attacked like that, that makes me think it's that much more legit.'

In hindsight, Meredith firmly stated he'd instigate violence if given the word, which eerily foreshadowed what would come January 6th after Trump poked the cage of his angry supporters with a stick – and riling them up to march to the Capital – and take back their country.

Meredith was already on the edge when I spoke to him back in September. And Trump's Stop the Steal campaign – clearly pushed him over.

Meredith said: 'So we show up to this dinner party… and Trump answers the door. This is when he didn't like shaking hands. 

'My buddy and I were looking at each other like, ''What are we doing here?'' And he's wearing a coat and tie and tells us to come on in.

'It was like a ten person sit down dinner party. And we were out with all of them till like 3am in the morning in downtown Aspen.

'Ever since that meeting that evening, I've always followed him – and I was always watching his interviews,' he said. 

Meredith took his obsession to the extreme, plastering Trump's Hollywood Walk of Fame star all over his electric blue sports car. 

On the back of the car is an American flag sticker and a Punisher Skull modified to have Trump's hair on top of the skull. 

In recent years, military members and police officers have embraced the signature skull, due to its relation to the fictional Marvel vigilante anti-hero with a military backstory. 

Meredith took his devotion to QAnon just as seriously, paying for billboards around Atlanta as early as 2018 with the group's messaging, one with the hashtag #WWG1WGA - meaning Where We Go One, We Go All.  

The married man said he first began reading QAnon posts on 4Chan, the dubious message board site, in 2017. 

'This whole Q movement, all it's about is thinking for yourself. Put all the pieces together and figure it out,' Meredith said.

From analyzing interviews, Meredith said Trump has kept his message consistent, about how 'politicians are idiots. They're flushing our country down the toilet. They're corrupt. Foreign countries are taking advantage of us.'

'After reading through a lot of it, and seeing Trump's corresponding tweets, I was like, holy s**t, this is just the back channel of information coming straight out of the White House and the U.S. military - to bypass the media and get proper information to world leaders,' Meredith explained. 

Meredith said he believes Trump's aim was to rid Washington of the Deep State – which he claimed was also responsible for John F. Kennedy's assassination. The claim has become a central part of the Q Anon set of conspiracy beliefs.

In one of its more absurd versions, his son John F Kennedy Jr. was said to be alive, in hiding, and waiting to lead the 'storm' in which the 'Deep State' would be dismantled.

'Very simply, in my opinion, JFK was taken out because he was pulling the curtain back and going to expose all the secrets,' he said.  

Meredith also said he believed Trump was a long-term FBI informant and staffed his Atlantic City casinos with FBI agents as part of a major sting operation against the mafia.

He added: 'Of course, we'll never hear any of this. But it's out there if you want to find it.' 

That belief - which has no evidence to support it - is also part of QAnon's claims, and appears to have been injected into the theory to make Trump seem to be on the side of law enforcement's rank and file when he was better known for openly attacking the FBI's top ranks.

During the interview, Meredith brought up how he attended a Black Lives Matter protest in Atlanta in June of 2020. 

He attempted to draw comparisons between the protests decrying police brutality and racial injustice where in some cases buildings were set on fire and riots broke out to QAnon members participating in various protests. 

He asked: 'How many Q followers have been blamed on any of these riots or murders or beat downs by Antifa? Has there been any? I haven't heard of any.' 

He added of BLM: 'All the protesters are white liberals. If there'll be a civil war in this country, it's gonna be white liberals versus conservatives.

At the BLM protest, Meredith admitted he was carrying an assault rifle, which made others at the event wary.

During his journey, he fired off texts to friends, one which threatened, according to officials: 'Thinking about heading over to Pelosi C*NT's speech and putting a bullet in her noggin on Live TV'

Meredith said: 'Q is not a ragtag bunch of blood-hungry f**king patriots. Because if that was the case, people would've started getting popped a long time ago. It is the very silent, very well armed majority… If we're needed, call us up'

The US Attorney's Office is arguing against Meredith being released on bail after his arrest last week. In one text, Meredith allegedly wrote that he was thinking of 'putting a bullet in Pelosi' noggin on Live TV'. Another allegedly reads: 'I'm gonna run that c**t Pelosi over while she chews on her gums'

But in an abrupt turn of the conversation, Meredith referenced Nazi Germany, and asked: 'What did Hitler do when he first took power? He took away everybody's firearms. Why did he do that? So, the public can't fight back.' 

Meredith stated because of all the turmoil Trump has endured during his presidency, which was apparently caused by the Deep State, he was prevented him from doing the work that JFK had started.

He blames the Deep State is behind a massive cover up, saying: 'You don't fight this hard or try to crush an incoming president before he even starts and then keep it up for the entire time he's in office - unless you've done something really wrong.

'Stuff so wrong that execution is probably going to be necessary.

'And I think there will be a lot of people rounded up. And I think the punishments will be severe. And I don't think it will ever happen again.'

During the hour-long interview, Meredith touched on the coronavirus pandemic, remarking: 'This is just another flu season, but it's funny how the entire world's shut down, isn't it?'

At the BLM protest, Meredith admitted he was carrying an assault rifle, which made others at the event wary

But Meredith does have some optimism for the country's future, saying: 'This will sound cheesy, but I think we're finally entering the age of Aquarius. We're moving on to the next level of humanity. He added: 'Listen, I'm a Christian guy. I can be a bad-a** when necessary, but I love people'

According to Meredith, the true virus is the Deep State that has 'infiltrated our country' and is close to 'destroying the United States.'

He also raged against Barack Obama, saying: 'Based on all of his policies, Obama was instrumental in setting up the United States for failure.'

Explaining the alleged Deep State agenda: 'The plan was a 16-year plan: Obama for eight and Hillary for the next eight; flush it all down.'

But Meredith does have some optimism, saying: 'Listen, I'm a Christian guy. I can be a bad-a** when necessary, but I love people.'

'I'm currently taking care of a woman who's dying from cancer, living in my place. I'm a nice guy.

'I just root for the underdog and I root for the truth because it's just too much brain damage to try to live any other way.'

'It doesn't matter if you're Democrat or Republican or liberal or conservative or whatever. It's just finally there's some stuff coming up to hopefully just wake people up. Things can be so much better and so much less tension worldwide. Everybody can get along. I'm just looking for a peaceful planet.'

'If we just got everybody high all the time, just fog the place with C130 weed - everyone would chill the f**k out.'

'There's a reason the Indians put it in the peace pipe. And there's a reason God put it on this planet. To make everybody chill…before they killed each other.'
