From Trolling To Fleecing: Co-Creator Of ‘Q’ Hoax Explains Its Scary Evolution
The Federalist ^ | October 29, 2018 | Georgi Boorman

Posted on 10/29/2018 8:37:17 AM PDT by detective

A little less than a year after the first QAnon post, which has since led hundreds of thousands of news junkies down a conspiracy rabbit hole, news correspondent Jack Posobiec from One America News Network spoke with one of the co-originators of the “Q” persona who runs a group of individuals posing as a high-level government intelligence officer. On an anonymous “free speech” platform called 8Chan, they leave thousands of riddles, “clues,” odd questions, and cryptic lines as bread crumbs for their followers to help them in their search for truth.

Many major media outlets have overviewed the nest of conspiracy theories nurtured within Q followers. While many have speculated about who is behind Q and how it came to exist, thanks to Posobiec’s extensive research and the confession of a co-creator who goes by the pseudonym “Microchip,” we now know, with a high degree of certainty, the real origin story of QAnon.

Is the information valuable, regardless to whether there is actually a “Q” or not ?

Q is one part research, one part self-serving misinformation and zero parts inside information.

If one can do their own research, why would one want to wade through the self-serving misinformation?

"I know you don't want to hear the word "patience", but patience. All good things come to those who wait."

I have studied every single Q post diligently. We haven't even had ONE high profile arrest to prove the entire trafficking/pedophilia topic is even true. I simply can't fathom that there isn't ONE that can't be arrested and hauled before ONE clean judge.

Has it occurred to you that the 55,000 sealed indictments are a planned DS "Krystalnaught" move AGAINST PATRIOTS? If the DOJ is that filled with snakes as Q asserts, how can we trust that? Should we patriots be spending the thousands of hours studying what Q suggests or prepping for conflict?

Patriots are destroying themselves with all of this confusion. Who is the father of confusion? ...

Q fixes this internal conflict with even just ONE high profile "white rabbit" arrest. Trump fixes it with a Q denouncing Tweet.

I AM patient...trying to be gentle as a dove and WISE as a serpent as commanded by Christ.

You seem to know a great deal about “Q”.

I do try. But there are many smarter people than me that I rely on. Group effort.

I am sorry you had to endure some personal insults but I’ve seen a lot worse.

Nah, don't worry about me. Bullets bounce off me. Nobody's touched me yet.

And I've seen a lot worse too, for that matter.

Please, tell me what “Q” has done that is valuable

Well, the main thing they have done is expose the Deep State (I call it Derp State just to F with 'em Alinsky style) in this country and worldwide.

That, in and of itself, is invaluable. It allows me personally, and a growing number of others, to see events as they truly are, and not as they are presented to us. Not only as they happen, but back into history.

It's honestly like a GREAT AWAKENING. That's not just a pretty slogan.

So that's really what Q has done.

What do I expect HIM to do in the future? Whatever he can to help us win this shadow war we are currently engaged in. We either take back America from the enemy (the derps) or we lose. If we lose, the America we have known is lost.

So I consider it important to know and understand what Trump/Q is telling us and to FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT as Q has often told us.

One of those steps is to come together.

They want us divided.

Don't let them have their way.

Maybe you do, but some people don't know where to wade. Names, dates, events, photos, etc.

Q guides the research and points to names and events. He helps to connect dots that would be impossible to connect unless pointed to.

Surely that makes sense to you?

Everything I’ve seen of Q on FR is gibberish.
Why would I read that?

I just wanted to see what meanings you derived from it.

It's possible to be both, goodman.

A point well-made, Bagster. I hope you don't mind, but I have a rather lengthy response to your post that follows. Bear with me, if you please.

I am willing to consider the possibility that Q may be spot on as I make my own decisions about the danger America faces and what to do about it, but only if I am not required to suspend my disbelief in order to do so. And I'll be blunt here: it is not the information that Q drops that bothers me; rather, it is the way that he goes about it. His approach resembles that of a hunter leaving bits of bait on a trail to his trap. He drops just enough to keep the prey hungry and interested, but not enough to satisfy it and thus eliminate its need to follow.

Q's cryptic methods have done nothing to dissuade me from the suspicion that his drops are simply bits of bait and that his true motive is to perpetrate a massive prank. Because of this, I cannot completely trust him. I remain open to the possibility that Q is truly on the side of the angels, but I am not yet wholly convinced.

I suppose that we shall see how things unfold after the midterms. If the Republicans can solidify their hold in congress, then perhaps we shall see the commencement of the "perp walks."

Finally: Q preaches the existence of "the plan" that will culminate in the prosecution and conviction of certain enemies of our nation. If there is a plan, then that is great. Q exhorts us to have faith that our government is both capable and willing to bring these traitors to justice and to prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. And that is precisely where Q followers and non-followers diverge: However noble the "plan" may be, it is only as good as the government's interest in following it through and doing the right thing.

We here are well aware of all the times the government (as opposed to our government) has turned against us throughout the decades. Sworn to uphold our Constitution and to serve us, it has instead attempted to crush us through weaponized agencies and activist judges who even now hold positions of influence.

To "trust the plan" requires us to suspend our disbelief and trust a Department of Justice and FBI that is infested with agents from the previous administration, (and whose actions are purely motivated by their hatred of our President and our citizens) to carry out "the plan" that will bring about their own elimination or even prosecution. It is akin to hiring the mafia to investigate its own graft and corruption. How absurd!

No matter how much one may long for justice, no thinking person should trust such a plan.

Thanks for your time.

This right here!!!

This is exactly what I'm talking about. 1 White Rabbit arrest and patriots like boogieman here might listen.

BTW Former US Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert was called a "SERIAL CHILD MOLESTER" at sentencing for child molestation BY THE JUDGE before going to prison. Anthony Weiner, etc.

I will never understand why a REAL Q operation would divide patriots like this on this topic...or why Trump wouldn't stop it if it were fake.

“when does it stop being “valuable” and start being mis-info”

Remember, Q said “disinformation is necessary”. Apparently, any time one of his (their) predictions is wrong, that must be the “disinformation”. Which tends to happen quite a lot.

So just believe everything he says, until you find out later he was wrong, and then stop believing it because it was “disinformation”.

Hope that clears things up.

p.s. Both would be wise.

To un-gibberish it? That's what we do. And not always successfully, I might add.

And it's gibberish for a reason.

p.s. I have LOTS of conclusions. And they don't always gibe with everybody else's conclusions. You should give it a shot and see what conclusions you can come up with.

Where you guys get this "making us docile" thing also boggles.

Don't know where these folks are getting that nonsense from.

Of course we should "trust" that the mid-terms are secure. Now let's all just "sit back and enjoy the show".

"The LAST thing it is, is some tricky Derp State psyop intended to make patriots docile. Too much of their dirt has been exposed for that to be the case. Why would they tell on themselves? Really, why?"

To get some justice-denied patriot so spun up he lashes out physically, which will justify a crackdown. Don't forget the deep state occultist motto "Order out of Chaos".

Create enough chaos and eventually the people will beg for globalist "order".

I am studying Q daily, but watching with quickly dying hope.

LOL.

Also remember that only a small number of things that are happening will be made public, because the masses will riot...or something like that.

That's another (not very clever) trick Q uses to explain why predictions don't come true.

And they fall for it.

Oh, meat. No, I don't mind your long post or giving it my time. I do have plenty of that. Thank you for your reasonable response. I will take my time with it piece by piece, if you don't mind.

it is not the information that Q drops that bothers me; rather, it is the way that he goes about it. His approach resembles that of a hunter leaving bits of bait on a trail to his trap. He drops just enough to keep the prey hungry and interested, but not enough to satisfy it and thus eliminate its need to follow.

Think about this. If you were President Trump and a roomful of Generals, Military Intelligence, NSA geeks, and other assorted loyal, patriotic riff-raff intent on taking down the derp state, swamp, international cabal, call it what you will, would you not need a plan? A most intricate and all consuming plan? Taking into account contingencies like elections, enemy reaction, and unforeseen events?

Would you find it beneficial to gain the support of the people for the drastic actions that would become necessary? To that end, wouldn't you think to find some way to surrepticiously (sp?) awaken the population to the realities taking place?

And at the same time, obey all laws on leaking national security secrets? Keeping in mind that the enemy itself is not only monitoring your comms, but attempting to disrupt them?

Once Q is acknowledged by the President undeniably, that will be the line of attack. They will accuse him of releasing secure data and compromising national security. Count on it.

Yes. There is a reason Q messages in the way he does. And there is a reason that the derp media tries to debunk Q without addressing the things Q says. They know it's all true.

I suppose that we shall see how things unfold after the midterms. If the Republicans can solidify their hold in congress, then perhaps we shall see the commencement of the "perp walks."

Once the House and Senate are secure, just as the Supreme Court is now secure, I expect things to heat up. We needed Kavanaugh in order to make any "drastic" measures safe. Remember when Graham oddly asked Kavanaugh about criminal vs military trials? Remember his answer?

Supreme Court...check. DOJ/FBI cleaned out....not completely, but check. Check out the list of FBI and DOJ upper management removed, resigned, forced to resign, or removed from power since Trump was elected. There could be no perp walks into a corrupt judicial system. What would be the point. It would have been the same old, same old.

So, yes. This thing takes time and the table must be set. It has been being set for some time now. Now let's secure the House and Senate and let the games begin.

Q exhorts us to have faith that our government is both capable and willing to bring these traitors to justice and to prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.

Remember. There are two governments. Trump's and patriot's government, and an entrenched "shadow government" working against him. From every government agency, to Congress, the Judicial Branch and outward to the derp state media and the business world. Almost every aspect of American society is controlled by the derps. The takeover was almost complete.

Hillary was to polish us off and secure their victory. They never thought she would lose. Thank God for Admiral Rogers, Mike Flynn, and the boys. Oh, and Donald Trump.

So when you say, "our government" realize that our government is sometimes our enemy.

Yes. There is a plan. And it does take time and a LOT of work. And it must be able to react to counter-measures, like false flag attacks, "caravans", smears of SC nominees, and all manner of things. The derps are many and strong and have power still. A lot of power. We may still lose this fight.

Stay the course. Trust the plan. "Red Pill" the populace. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT.

We are still the last, best hope for humanity.

Well, that was a rant. I do get carried away sometimes.

😊
