Not new, either. I can’t remember if I saw it here (searched and didn’t find anything immediately) or reddit.
Here’s a summary of previous finds:

Probably look in the parking lot for the guy who has his car plastered in poster board scrawled with nonsense taped to every square inch of the outside.

Pennsylvania residents are opening sealed boxes of sugary breakfast cereal and finding creepy conspiracy notes inside.
Are these just inside the cardboard container or all they all the way inside the plastic inner sack containing the product? If the former, is there any curl to these “messages”? as there is a simple technique (learned from studying magic tricks) to roll up paper onto a needle (of sorts) pass the needle through some amount of ‘seal’ and unroll it once inside.

If you ever find yourself passing through St. Joseph, Missouri, do yourself a favor and drop by the Glore Psychiatric Museum. One of the displays there is an old tv set stuffed full of notes written by a one time patient with similarly bizarre and cryptic conspiratorial writings. I seem to remember some of it involved JFK, too.

The one we found 20 months ago or so was folded in quarters, inside a box of microwave popcorn. Not actually touching the food.

This is creepy AF, esp learning it’s been going on so long, and has happened to one of our own.

The one guy they interviewed showed he had found it inside the sealed bag with the food, not just inside the cardboard outer cereal box. Very disturbing.

If true then the obvious culprit would be someone at the cereal boxing facility, but that doesn’t track with all the other people in that area finding similar notes in completely different kinds of products. Nor would it explain why all these notes are being found in the same area even though all the products they were found in are shipped and sold nationwide.
Either someone in the area has access to a variety of packaging/heat sealing equipment or at least some of these people are making this up. Wouldn’t be the first time if it’s the latter.

So, like, someone with an Amazon account?

Worse. Prize. Ever.
Now, how many box tops do I have to send in to get the ring that decodes this gibberish?

I wish they’d at least be creative about it.

The notes are probably his idea of a campaign tactic.
