A QAnon-obsessed killer dad who used a spear gun to fatally shoot both his children, believed he was 'saving the world' because his children were 'going to grow into monsters', but admitted to the FBI he knew what he did was wrong.
Matthew Taylor Coleman, 40, told the FBI he 'had to' kill his two toddlers because he was 'enlightened' by 'QAnon and Illuminata' conspiracy theories which claim the world is run by a group of Satan-worshipping pedophiles.
The Santa Barbara surf instructor murdered his son Kaleo, two, and daughter Roxy, 10 months, on a Christian ranch in Rosarito, Mexico on Monday morning after leaving his California home on Saturday and crossing the border without his wife Abby's knowledge.
According to court documents filed in LA, Coleman admitted to the crime and said that he did it because he was 'receiving visions and signs that his wife possessed serpent DNA and had passed it onto his children'.
If he didn't kill them, he 'believed his children were going to grow into monsters'.

Matthew Taylor Coleman (pictured left with wife Abby, two-year-old son Kaleo and 10-month-old daughter Roxy and right with a spear gun), 40, of Santa Barbara, admitted to the FBI that he 'believed his children were going to grow into monsters so he had to kill them'
And in social media posts which veer from biblical quotes to prophetic and revelatory language, Coleman openly talks about a new type of 'Great American Renaissance' that 'will empower each person's heart to come alive and explode'. He goes onto ask if 2020 could just be the 'birth pains' of what is on its way in 2021?
Indeed, the troubled father of two declares that his daughter Roxy Rain was 'hand picked by God to slay the giants of the land' and calls both his children 'gifts from God'.
In another post, Coleman says 'There is a truth buried in the heart of every man and woman which holds the key to God-likeness. This will open the door to a limitless flow of divine power and creativity'.
In another post that bears some similarity to the anti-establishment ethos of QAnon, Coleman says he is 'convinced at some point in our lives we will accumulate enough valid evidence for why we should stop trusting our government officials, bosses, coworkers, church, family and friends'.
He says doing so is a 'doorway to experiencing the most liberating reality on earth'.
The killer dad also waxes lyrical about The Renaissance and the Dark Ages. Wondering if we are living in our own Dark Age right now that is waiting to be lit up by a 'creative explosion'.
'The Crazy thing about history is that you don't know what your season will be labeled as until years down the road. And more so, sometimes your time period isn't labeled by what happens during it, but rather what happens after it.'
Back in October 2020 Coleman posted to Instagram a gushing post about his newborn daughter and his 'fearless wife Abby for bringing us baby Roxy'.
The caption reads: 'Another picture that came to me was of God reaching down into a river bed and picking up a small stone (rock), examining it intently. Just as David had done before slaying Goliath, God examined the stone and was confident that it was just the perfect one for the battle.
'Although it was small, smooth and somewhat harmless looking, he knew that it would become great when placed into the palm of a skilled hand.'

Federal agents will most likely be looking into the surf instructor's social media accounts, which grew increasingly devout since the pandemic. It is unknown how long Coleman was entrenched in QAnon

The first image was one of this historical timeline where the period of the "dark ages" (5th-15th century) was contrasted next to the illuminated creative explosion of the Renaissance (meaning Rebirth -- 15th and 16th centuries).

While worshipping with friends this weekend, I had an unexpected wave of thoughts and images come over me... which well, brought me a lot of hope. The first image was one of this historical timeline where the period of the "dark ages" (5th-15th century) was contrasted next to the illuminated creative explosion of the Renaissance (meaning Rebirth -- 15th and 16th centuries). The crazy thing about history is that you don't know what your season will be labeled as until years down the road. And more so, sometimes your time period isn't labeled by what happens DURING it, but rather by what happens AFTER it. While people were living in the Dark Ages, they weren't thinking, "it really sucks living in the Dark Ages." It wasn't until years after the Renaissance did people start to identify that period as the Dark Ages. And really the main reason for getting that label was due to the striking CONTRAST that it had with the explosion of art, music, inventions, and discoveries that occurred during the Renaissance.
What if we are about to enter the greatest Renaissance period that the world has ever seen? What if we are on the verge of entering into an unparalleled explosion of creativity, art, music, inventions, discoveries, entrepreneurship, cures, community and revelations of God's love... to the point that our current period will eventually be seen as another "Dark Ages." What if there is a type of Great American Renaissance following the years of Covid, censorship, and political divisiveness... that will empower each person's heart to come alive and explode with innovative ideas, new business models, new music sounds and never seen ways to build an amazing community? What if 2020 is just the "birth pains" of what is on its way in 2021 and beyond?
Its almost as if God is praying over us... "I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope..." (Ephesians 1:18)
Much love and hope to everyone!

Religious screed: Coleman posted this picture to celebrate the birth of his daughter and declared that his daughter Roxy Rain was 'hand picked by God to slay the giants of the land'

Although it was small, smooth and somewhat harmless looking, he knew that it would become ghreat when placed into the palm of a skilled hand. My declaration over Roxy Rain is that she has been hand picked by God to slay the giants in the land. That she has been born with everything she needs to fully accomplish God's plan for her life and that she will be a great blessing wherever she goes.

Coleman co-founded the surfing school Lovewater Surf Co in Santa Barbara, California - where he was born - with his wife. The site is still live with pictures of Coleman and his smiling family
Coleman was apprehended by authorities trying to re-enter the USA at the Ysidro Point of Entry after his wife alerted authorities to his whereabouts using the Find My iPhone app.
The surf instructor told federal agents he used a spear fishing gun to shoot both his children to death near Christian camp Rancho del Cielo around 5am Monday morning after traveling over two hundred miles.
![Image](http://rapeutation.com/shambhnovascot2l.jpg)
Matthew, 40 is seen in a court sketch as he faces charges in the murder of his two young children.
He had checked into an Express Inn in Rosarito, Mexico with his two children on Saturday and checked out early on Monday morning where he took them to their deaths.
The surf instructor was taken into custody and investigators have now begun the process of trying to work out how and why the otherwise seemingly happy family man could have become so twisted as to murder both his children he described as his 'jewels' on social media.
And neighbors of Coleman exclusively told DailyMail.com that they are hey are 'sickened' after hearing the devastating news about the seemingly happy family next door.
Richard Galindo, 82, lives near surf school owner Coleman in the beachtown of Santa Barbara, California.
And while Galindo says that Abby was the 'sweetest mother' who would always stop by and say hello, he tells DailyMail.com that Matthew was less amiable.
'I've known Abby for the past year, she used to walk by with her two children. She would have one in a buggy and the older one would walk. I'd see her at least once a week as she passed by my house on the way to the beach. Her oldest child loved playing with the cement animal statues in my yard,' he said with a tear in his eye.

In 2017 Coleman wondered if 'at some point in our lives, we will accumulate enough valid evidence for why we should stop trusting our government officials'. He claimed doing so is a 'doorway to experiencing the most liberating reality on earth'.

Thought of the day... A More Compelling Evidence
I'm convinced that at some point in our lives, we will accumulate enough valid evidence for why we should stop trusting our government officials, bosses, coworkers, church, family and friends.
Some [illegible] this point early in their childhood, some later on. But regardless of when it happens, it will always create a crossroads in our lives. A decision must be made on whether we will use this revelation as a wall of isolation or a doorway to freedom.
For that is what it is, a doorway to experiencing the most liberating reality on the earth. The reality that, hidden beneath our laundry list of reasons why we should give up on people, lies a more compelling evidence. The evidence that all people, regardless of the decisions they have made, have at the core of their being the very DNA of God. His image. His likeness. His beauty. And that, in the gospel, we are invited to see what the Father saw, and continues to see, in each person from before they were born: one worthy of being celebrated. #perspective See Less
'[Matthew] was never really the friendly type. When Matthew walked by my house with his kids, he seemed he was in another land, he never acknowledged me to say hi, he just looked straight ahead.'
The last time Galindo spoke with Matthew was just a few weeks ago. 'I brought a bag of avocados over to their house, Matthew answered the door and for the first time he was actually nice as I handed him the bag. He said thank you,' he said.
Matthew, 40, was detained on Monday by US Customs and Border Protection agents while trying to cross the US-Mexico border after his children's bodies were found on the property of a Christian camp on Monday morning.
The family lived in a modest 3-bedroom, 2 bath, 1300 square foot home with a two-car garage built in 1956.

The family lived in a modest 3-bedroom, 2 bath, 1300 sq foot home with a two-car garage built in 1956 and located just blocks from Arroyo Burro Beach in Santa Barbara
Located just blocks from Arroyo Burro Beach in Santa Barbara, the home is worth $1.4 million.
One neighbor said the young couple have a middle aged man and his mother living in their garage. It was a condition of their rent from the owners, they said.
Another neighbor told DailyMail.com, 'Abby was the social one of the two, but I was wary of Matthew. He seemed a little too happy and disingenuous, fake nice almost.'
Indeed, Coleman's social media is filled with picture-perfect images of a beautiful family, but investigators will no doubt note how his language has become increasingly troubled. It is unknown when Coleman became entrenched in QAnon.

Coleman murdered his toddlers on a Christian ranch in Rosarito, Mexico (above) on Monday morning after leaving his Santa Barbara home on Saturday and crossing the border without his wife's knowledge
The Mexican Christian ranch on which the bodies of the two children were found uses its social media to promote the group as a 'religious organization' seeking 'to provide the Church of Christ with a safe, secluded and high-quality space for the growth of the Body of Christ'.
It is a place where 'missionaries from around the world who come to our state with the intention of establishing the kingdom of heavens of Jesus Christ on earth'.
The murders are all the more baffling considering Coleman's very public love for Abby, Kaleo and Roxy.

The murder is all the more baffling considering Coleman's very public love for Abby, Kaleo and Roxy. He often fawned over his wife on birthdays, anniversaries or just because and the two appeared very happily married for the past four years
matthewtaylorcoleman I waited many a year and traveled many a mile to find this one... and now that we're 2 years deep, I'm more sure than ever that I found a truly priceless treasure. An epic time last night celebrating the love of my life and casting vision for the years of adventure to come. #lovemywifey #2years

In a 2018 post Coleman said he 'can't wait to go spearfish' with Kaleo one day. It's unknown if he believed in QAnon and Illuminata conspiracy theories then but he would go on to kill his toddler son using a spearfish gun as the murder weapon
matthewtaylorcoleman Thankful to nab a late season White Sea Bass after sundown this evening. Kaleo can't wait to go spearfish. #startemyoung
abbydcoleman That fish was DELICIOUS, and I am SO PROUD... but how cute is Kaleo??
![Image](http://rapeutation.com/shambhnovascot2r.jpg)
Before murdering his son over QAnon-inflicted fears he would grow into a 'monster,' Coleman said Kaleo was an 'amazing son'
matthewtaylorcoleman Kaleo Skye Coleman. What an amazing son. It's so fun to watch Kaleo slowly become all that he was created to be. The sound of heaven's dove. One who awakens people to the fact that they are eternally chosen, accepted and cherished by a loving father. A freedom ringer and a joy bringer.
June 28, 2020
He often fawned over his wife on birthdays, anniversaries, describing his spouse of four years as 'wifey'.
Coleman captioned Instagram photos of her saying he's 'deeply in love' and shared photos of father-son days spent with Kaleo, to which he said: 'When I'm with him, things that I’ve experienced a thousand times start to feel new and awe-inspiring.
'He has this special gift in being able to recognize the glory all around him, and then bringing other people into it.'
'You could say I enjoy being a dad,' he wrote in an earlier post with his only son.

Prior to the deaths Coleman posted frequently about his Christian faith online but his posts became increasingly devout since the beginning of the pandemic

Coleman admitted to murdering his son Kaleo (left), two, and daughter Roxy (right), 10 months. The court documents also noted that Coleman thought he 'was saving the world from monsters'
![Image](http://rapeutation.com/shambhnovascot2w.jpg)
The investigation started after the children's mother Abby Coleman (pictured) reported her husband, son and daughter missing when Coleman didn't answer any of her phone calls or texts
The shocking chain of events began on Saturday when Coleman's wife Abby, 35, called police to report her husband and children missing after Coleman left their home in Santa Barbara with the two children and did not answer phone calls or texts from Abby or other family members.
According to the court documents Abby was 'concerned because Coleman did not have a car seat'.

Coleman returned alone later Monday morning and then left the hotel for good in a Mercedes-Benz vehicle, authorities said. Investigators in Mexico believe that Coleman took his children to a ranch near to his hotel. It is not known why the surf instructor could have murdered his children
![Image](http://rapeutation.com/shambhnovascot3a.jpg)
An affidavit was filed in LA following Coleman's arrest. In the court documents, Coleman told federal agents that he was 'receiving visions and signs that his wife possessed serpent DNA and had passed it onto his children'

Although she knew Coleman put 10-month-old Roxy in a box instead of a car seat she told authorities that she did not believe her children were in any danger.
She told police she believed Coleman 'would eventually return to their residence' and that 'she did not have any problems with Colemen'.
'They did not have any sort of argument prior to him leaving,' the affidavit said.
The next day Santa Barbara police used the Find My iPhone map to locate Coleman, who was at the open-air mall Pabellon Rosatiro in Baja California, Mexico.

A farmhand found the bodies when he saw splattered blood on the ground while walking the property near the Christian camp Rancho del Cielo. 'I immediately notified my manager to call the police to come investigate,' he said. The Baja California police received a 911 call about the discovery at 7.27am
![Image](http://rapeutation.com/shambhnovascot3c.jpg)
The worker, who wished to remain anonymous, told Border Report that he 'teared up' when he saw the bodies. 'I was scared and sad because these are tiny children who don't know any better' he said
During the investigation police found that on Saturday, Coleman checked into the City Express Hotel on the Tijuana-Ensenada Freeway with his two children - 266 miles away from his home in Santa Barbara.
CCTV footage shows Coleman leaving the hotel with Kaleo and Roxy early Monday morning at 2.54am.
He returned to the hotel alone about three hours later and left the hotel for good just after 9.30am, as stated in the court documents.
Baja California Attorney General Hiram Sanchez Zamora said that a farmworker discovered the dead children's bodies while walking the property near the Christian camp Rancho del Cielo.

SOME OF QANON'S THEORIES
THE UNDERPINNING PEDOPHILE THEORY
QAnon is founded on and operates under the belief that there is a deep-state organization of powerful, Democratic politicians who are pedophiles.
Supporters of the theory think that for years, these pedophiles have been able to operate free from criticism by protecting each other.
It also teaches that they are Satan worshipers who, after abusing children, drink their blood.
None of it is true.
FRAZZLEDRIP
One theory that has been tied to QAnon but was not necessarily borne out of it is the idea that there is a video, found on the laptop of disgraced congressman Anthony Weiner, which shows his wife Huma Abedin and Hillary Clinton abusing a child and then drinking the child's blood.
PIZZAGATE
Pizzagate erupted as a theory during the first Trump election in 2016.
It is the theory that the Comet pizza shop in Washington DC has been used for years as a base for the pedophile and child sex trafficking ring.
Again, there is no evidence of it.
He saw splattered blood on the ground and followed his dog to the scene. The worker, who wished to remain anonymous, told Border Report: 'To be honest I teared up. And I immediately notified my manager to call the police to come investigate.
'I was scared and sad because these are tiny children who don't know any better. Hopefully they find whoever is responsible because this is a terrible thing.'
During an investigation of the Mercedes Sprinter van officers found blood on the registration paperwork including Coleman's passport, his wife's old passport that stated her maiden name, Kaleo's birth certificate and a 'Verification of Pregnancy and Live Birth' for Roxy.
Coleman made his initial court appearance Wednesday afternoon in the US District Court of California in downtown Los Angeles.
US Magistrate Judge Jacqueline Chooljian ordered Coleman to be detained without bond, as reported by CBS 8.
His first hearing was scheduled to take place August 31 in Los Angeles.
Coleman is facing two counts of foreign murder of United States nationals and could spend up to 120 years in prison.
He first killed his son 'using a spearfishing gun to pierce Kaleo in the heart,' court documents said. Coleman told federal agents that he did not die right away.
He then 'described that he had to move the spear around, thereby cutting his hand in the process,' the affidavit said.
He told federal agents he discarded his children's slain bodies in some brush about 30 yards from where he killed them.
Coleman was taken to Santa Ana jail on Tuesday and the Mexican authorities found the murder weapon, bloody clothes and a baby's blanket.
The FBI, US Customs and Border Protection, the Santa Barbara Police Department and the Mexican authorities are working to return the children's bodies to California.
Back home Coleman co-founded the surfing school Lovewater Surf Co in Santa Barbara, California - where he was born - with his wife.
According to the surf school's website, 'Matt and Abby enjoy finding ways to better lives through surfing, experiential education and community-based projects'.
The site is still live with pictures of Coleman and his smiling family.

HOW QANON STARTED IN THE CORNERS OF THE DARK WEB AND EXPLODED UNDER TRUMP
QAnon exploded in the final months of Donald Trump's presidency, bolstered by the unproven theory that widespread voter fraud won the election for Biden amid widespread conspiracy theories about the COVID-19 pandemic.
It had been gradually gathering steam throughout Trump's presidency after being founded in 2017 or thereabouts.
It started with a few posts that had been put on 4Chan, by Q, that were picked up on and promoted.
Q claimed to be a high ranking military official with knowledge of what Trump was up against - a secret ring of pedophiles and child sex traffickers.
Trump never endorsed the movement, although he is its hero.
He has, in the past, described some of its followers as 'people who love our country.'
Facebook and Twitter have taken down or restricted countless QAnon posts which only feeds supporters' believes that big tech is also in bed with the pedophile ring.
At one time, the conspiracy theorist set their sights on the Robert Mueller Russia probe.
They believe that it was a cover for a bigger investigation into the pedophile ring.
When Mueller's investigation concluded to no avail other than clearing Trump of wrongdoing, QAnon's focus shifted.
Jim Watkins attended the January 6 riot and took the filmmaker with him. It's unclear whether or not Ron was there.
