Wasn’t it Q that asked us to learn about “projection”?
Yes, although I think that was largely put their for the eyes of the 10s of millions of people who are starting to watch what Q says, many of whom don’t understand it as a tactic like we do.
I think this is a different tactic, like the one where they make the person who discovers something out about UFOs appear to be totally insane, or UFOlogists as “believers”. Discreditation I suppose you might call it.
