So, I was checking out the merch on their spreadshirt store (not intending to shill for them, but it's www.shop.spreadshirt.com/georgenews if you want to follow this lead--they do have some cool stuff, FWIW), and one of the designs they have is called "Saint George Old English" font. They also have "God Wins" and their name in a variety of other fonts, but the "Saint George" font really caught my attention. If you are familiar with the story of Saint George, he lived in the early 4th century, defied the Roman emperor Diocletian who was persecuting Christians at the time, and killed a dragon that was terrorizing a village. For a time, the dragon had been satisfied with sacrifices of sheep, but eventually, that stopped keeping it happy, and the townspeople have to offer human sacrifices to appease it. One day, the lot falls to the the king's daughter to be sacrificed, and the king says that if anyone can slay the dragon, he can marry the princess and will be the next king. George happened along while the princess is bound outside the village, waiting for the dragon to come devour her. He kills the dragon, saves the princess and the townspeople, and leads the whole village to Christ. He later became the patron saint of several countries including England and Greece.
So, it's an interesting twist as we dig into the origins of the "George" in GeorgeNews. It obviously is connected to JFK Jr's old magazine, and probably gives at least a hat tip to George Washington, but the fact that they are calling one of the designs in their store "Saint George" is, I think, probably a significant clue, especially given the pertinent details of the legend that refers to.
In one of their first ever chat lines on Youtube, they said not to donate and explained that they set up a merch store because others were impersonating them and selling merch under their name:

Note thereafter that they simply gave up on that messaging.
Now you could argue that this is a typical trick that scammers use to pretend that they are genuine. I don't think so. I think that no matter what you, or I, or others, or George says on the matter, there will be people willing to donate money directly to George, or wanting merch that they could buy, some piece of that personality, some piece of that history-in-the-making, or contributing in some way to that operation.
And it's not like George delivers bad content, and it's not like people didn't know about them even before then. They deliver tons of photos and footage from parts of the White House and the US Military that a major news outlet could only dream of accessing. Therefore, I think it's more to do with controlling their segment of the donation economy, which will exist no matter what, and making sure that people don't fork money over to actual malicious actors.
Well, another way you could look at it is that there are people out in the middle of nowhere (out in Rural America, or deep within a corporate office, or in a critical infrastructure project) in relation to Q but really want to help out. George seems linked to Q, and Q doesn't take any donations or merch. And so people decided, "Hey, I want to help Q out, and it seems George here is helping out, and it's not like my taxes are reaching them directly, and I want to make sure my work and energy can reach them so let's give George money to help Q out. Oh and maybe I'll have that cool looking T-shirt as a reward for myself."
