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.

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

I sense sarcasm.

Who's telling you to "sit back and enjoy the show"?

Whoever it is, don't listen to them.

To get some justice-denied patriot so spun up he lashes out physically, which will justify a crackdown.

They are doing enough on their own (the derps) to get patriots spun up already. They don't need fake Q op for that.

And they are working so so hard to stop people from paying attention to Q, as you've noticed. So there goes that theory.

I do understand the propensity to lose hope. We have had so little over the years.

But it's all we got, really, if you think about it. Trump is fighting back.

Haven’t we had the Senate and House since Trump took office? Why did we have to wait until they were “secure”?

Why yes, we have majorities in both houses. But the Congress if full of derps. Recall Paul Ryan as Speaker, who, mysteriously, is stepping down. And recall also that the derps planned on taking the House. And our slim Senate majority was at the mercy of derps like McCain, Murkowsky and a few other derp Senators.

So to NOT lose the House and make the Senate Derp proof is the goal. That's what it means to secure the mid-terms.

I expect that we will make gains in both.

Microchip has had many names.Grown man playing tricks on twitter.Left in the dust by the Deplorables Ball by Posobiec and Friend.He was told he hadn't grown with the movement.There is no love lost between those two.I has been proven that Posobiec posted a tweet by Microchip a day before it was posted.Posobiec was for Trump until he was against Trump and then for Trump.Q posted the truth about Posobiec .Posobiec is a big money maker.Microchip does nor really make any money.Some people would be better off not posting on social media.

As for Q-I find him-her interesting.I like clues and codes.They have pictures I have never seen anywhere.Q predicted the day and time of “The one who shall not be named”death.They have posted many other proofs.I follow Q.

"Q is is sharply dividing the Patriot community en masse. Trump could shut Q down with a single sentence in a single tweet.

He hasn't.... "


On the other hand ...

At a number of recent PDJT rallies I'v noticed numerous supporters waving large signs with only a large "Q" presumably the same front and back.

President Trump does notice crowd members and their signs despite how difficult it can be to see much from a stage under lights.

In his case though, the audience tends to be well lit and he's not commented when all he'd have to do is ad lib "Q - Trust the plan".

One tweet: "Trust the plan" would validate the Q phenomenon. Nothing after a year.

I'm going with unadulterated hoax. Sorry - a lot of time wasted.

They don’t want people following Q or doing any research so they are trying to discredit Q.

They don’t want anyone to pay attention to Q.

They want people to start watching the MSM liars again and do and believe what the teevee tells them to.

“The revelations are the draining of the swamp events.”

Never seen yet where Q revealed them or knew of them before general news sources. “Cryptic” messages of psychics are cover for charlantans that only know as we all do “something is going to happen”, as if we all do not understand “something” will happen - when, who, how Q never “knew”.

>>>HRC extradition already in motion effective yesterday with several countries in case of cross border run.

I missed that one!

I've never been able to get a Q-pid to answer me ONE question: HOW LONG? How long until they say "OK, I've been had." IOW...what is the trigger that it was a hoax? Is the trigger when Sessions resigns or is fired? Because at that point you can no longer "Trust Sessions, Trust the plan." The clock has run out on that. Do we have to wait for 2020? 2025?

Will the most die-hard Q-Pid say finally on Jan 20th, 2025 that OK...it was all a hoax when NOBODY has been arrested...or if Pence wins will they still hold out hope?

Not one has ever answered my question. It's a pretty simple question really.

Here's one thing for SURE (at least I think): If the dems win the house (which I don't think they will), and if there really IS a plan (lol), then Trump would have ZERO choice but to move on at least part of it before they take over.

“Never seen yet where Q revealed them or knew of them before general news sources.”

That is the point. It has to be general news.

BREAKING NEWS! TOMORROW HILLARY CLINTON WILL BE ARRESTED ALONG WITH OBAMA AND LORETTA LYNCH!

I’m sure the FBI would do that before taking out a mob king.

I understand some people are annoyed with Q.I appreciate that Jim Robinson has allowed an outlet for Q posters.He's a nice guy.This article is poorly written and not well researched.Georgi Boorman knows nothing about Q and parrots Posobiec who is a proven liar by Q.Her headline is a lie.Q makes no money.Georgi should do a little more homework and read both sides of the story including proof that Posobiec lied about a post and posted it a day before Microchip, did.Easily proven by Q with links.One sided poor reporting.The only one making money off of this article is Posobiec .I don't like it when we cross boards.I like the Q space and respect other posters who do not.I suggest this thread be pulled.

Q posted that McCain would be in the news in 30 days, and he posted it 30 days to the minute of the time listed on McCain’s death certificate. A few weeks before he posted that, when someone said they wanted McCain punished, Q posted “every dog has his day.” McCain died on national dog day.

Posobiec’s story is bull. Q may be disinformation from Trump to screw with the enemy’s head, he may be hot intel for Trump’s supporters - he could be anything. But he has inside intel the clowns Posobiec interviewed would not have. Q is something interesting, whatever he is.

Some of us here have a little inside insight on what is going on in the country, which would point to Q’s scenarios about Deep State hijacking the machinery of government being all too real.

Worth reading, whatever Q is, IMO.

So what you are saying is that Q knew the exact moment of McCain's death 30 days before it actually happened? If so, that's a case for him being supernatural as opposed to somebody with the inside scoop on the Deep State.

Interesting you bring up...
~~~~~~~
Why do the psych studies show that violent games don’t make you violent they make you LOSE YOUR EMPATHY. Nothing to see here, move along.
~~~~~~~
Tucker Carlson tonight addressed ‘Digitally Distracted’Kids.
The gist of the segment talks about the “silicon valley” elites do not let their kids have electronic equipment in the schools their kids go to. Start video at 39:20 to catch this discussion.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuM3loCpxT0

You both are bringing up great points regarding Q. If Q is a LARP then Q failed miserably, as Patriots are waking up not going to sleep.
#GreatAwakening #MAGA #MEGA #MSMlies

I also ask myself; Why did this article come about just before the midterm election? Are the Derps scared? I think so.
