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.

The poster made a claim without substantiation...................

I'll bet a shiny nickel that just about everybody on this thread has made a claim without substantiation.

Or a link.

And?

I almost did, but am sick of the personal attacks

Personal attacks you say? Read just this thread alone. "Qwackjobs", "stupid".

Of course it’s fake.

Of course it's non-fake.

I didn't say you were a wackjob.

Didn't say anybody was.

But what do you care what I say?

I'm not of your flock, or ilk.

If you've got good work to do, my few posts every now and then aren't going to matter.

Remember when Podesta was supposed to be arrested? Q promised that back in November. Still waiting for that one....

Heck, I'm waiting for the first arrest, and I don't care who it is, because they'll fold like a cheap wallet under interrogation.

Q is a fraud and his posts should be classified in this forum under the "cults" category. Interactions with Q's followers here are typically unpleasant and distasteful, because the followers all think they are the smartest people in the room.

Well, there's "smart" and then there's "discerning."

Q predicted a lot more than just Podesta being arrested. Some of the exact quotes were:

>>146981635
Hillary Clinton will be arrested between 7:45 AM - 8:30 AM EST on Monday - the morning on Oct 30, 2017.

>>147005381
HRC extradition already in motion effective yesterday with several countries in case of cross border run.

LOL.

The article is a lot more than just one Baker’s expose. It has several, and Jack (OAN). But the best part, to me, is the great link to documented failed predictions. And each item in the list has embedded links to the actual captured Q post on the board. Date and time stamped.

Here is the link:

Wrong.

Interactions with Q's followers here are typically unpleasant and distasteful,

Don't start none. Won't be none.

because the followers all think they are the smartest people in the room.

That's not why.

Well, there's "smart" and then there's "discerning."

It's possible to be both, goodman.

You think it's true. You think it's a big "so what".

Then I ask you again

Are the Podestas in Jail? Has anyone even been charged with the abuses Pizza Gate raised?

Answer that please.

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....

We both know the answer to that is no.

How is that proof that pizzagate isn't true?

Please answer honestly.

ThankQ.

While I agree with your overall sentiment, goodman, Q is not dividing anybody.

Q, and Q researchers, preach and seek unity. It is one of our top goals.

Others divide. Many on this thread, in fact.

Sadly.

Oh I have no idea where it was originally posted, or moved, or since hidden or deleted in that smoky world of Q mirrors, but it is well documented that it was indeed an original post with that number at one time...

How is that proof that pizzagate isn’t true?

_______________________________

My argument was not about the truth of the matter. It does not matter if that conspiracy theory was or was not true.

I simply made a factual statement. Which you agreed is true.

Now if you want to deviate from that and change horses in mid stream and start in on the “truth” of Pizza Gate - feel free to do so.

Just don’t include me in your little fantasy.

Thank you.
