Buzzfeed: QAnon A Leftist Hoax?
https://hotair.com ^ | August 6, 2018 | ED MORRISSEY

Posted on 08/06/2018 3:15:46 PM PDT by Para-Ord.45

In 1999, Roberto Bui, Giovanni Cattabriga, Federico Guglielmi, and Luca Di Meo, writing under the name “Luther Blissett,” published an Italian novel called Q.

Luther Blissett was a name regularly adopted in the ’90s by leftists, anarchists, and general troublemakers in Italy. It was used for staging all kinds of pranks. The Luther Blissetts in different cities would occasionally communicate by phone, but for the most part the project just spread organically. Think of it like an analogue Guy Fawkes Anonymous mask.

That flowed from the original Q and was entirely in keeping with its leftist-anarchist context.

..the authors believe that leftists used it as a playbook to bait the alt-Right, and that it worked on enough of them to matter:

“Coincidences are hard to ignore,” Bui, Cattabriga, and Guglielmi said. “Dispatches signed ‘Q’ allegedly coming from some dark meanders of top state power, exactly like in our book.”

They also pointed to the fact that the Q from the QAnon community is described almost exactly like Luther Blissett used to be described, “an entity of about 10 people that have high security clearance.”

Since Trump insiders are aware of the Q phenomena I'd think they would get out the information to Trump supporters that no one in the Trump orb has anything to do with Q and that it's a leftist ruse.

Rumor is the Q’s are going dark. School is starting back up.

I doubt that this is a priority fro Trump and I doubt that he actually knows much about the CULTISTS.

Don’t pay any attention to the Q thing.

Q and QANON are two different people(or entities).

First, your name is my favorite winter carry weapon P12-45...

Second, I’ve never bought in to the “Q” phenomenon.....

Not a total rejection, but just skeptical.....

Always concerned with anyone trying to manipulate opinion....especially via innuendo ....”Q” .... jury still out for me....

Q can’t be form the left, he is too easy to understand and makes sense.

I flew with a pilot who actually believed that the Sandy Hook shootings were staged - kids were all actors; that the LV shootings were staged plus other conspiracies - tried to get me to look up “Q” (which I did later) - wow, just wow.

People sure are scared of Qanon, for something that's suppose to be a hoax.

I see nothing wrong with educating the masses by drawing attention to things they should followup and research on, instead of being baby fed by the MSM. MSM certainly don't have conservatives back, so why should we join in on the attack. So ridiculous.

Yep, reminds me exactly of the Birth Cert nonsense that was going to end Obama’s future.
Even if it was true (and we KNOW it came from Hillary Camp), it was never going to be enough to go against the combined Obama-Hillary engine.

Q has always felt like a planted story to me.
Enough truth to keep people interested.
In the end, never delivered on anything.

Again...just like the Birth Cert.

That thought has crossed my mind. It wouldn’t surprise me.

No one's scared of the betas behind Qanon...but they sure are annoying.

Mike Flynn Jr. is getting hassled today on Twitter by Qanons...are you down with that?

It is interesting that the phony Q in Italy was used by leftists to lure rightists. Some definite parallels here with the q anon stuff. Wouldnt surprise me. I always thought the q thing was unnecessary. Trump has no,problem reaching people directly without resorting to riddles needing decoding.

The q thing about trusting sessions etc sounds like a left wing stunt to pull on trump suporters.
