The QAnon Storm is Upon Us: Mike Rothschild on Skeptical Inquirer Presents, Aug 5
Mike Rothschild: How QAnon Became a Movement, Cult, and Conspiracy Theory of Everything
Once dismissed as just another set of wacky conspiracy theories from the internet, the phenomenon known as QAnon has grown into a malignant force, infecting minds with dangerous fictions and amassing real power. What is this movement trying to achieve, and what happens next?
Thursday, August 5 at 7pm ET, on the next Skeptical Inquirer Presents live online event, journalist Mike Rothschild will untangle the many threads of myth and misinformation that make up QAnon ideology and why its outrageous beliefs are no laughing matter.
Rothschild will examine the background conspiracies and cults that have fed the Q phenomenon, from its embrace by right-wing media and Donald Trump, through the rending of families as loved ones became addicted to Q’s increasingly violent rhetoric, to the storming of the U.S. Capitol. Rothschild believes the QAnon phenomenon shows no sign of calming, and that it’s time to figure out what QAnon really is, because QAnon and its relentlessly dark theory of everything isn’t done with us yet.
Free registration is required to attend this live Zoom event, so sign up right now.

Never hear much about Q anymore except from dumb ole RATs who have an obsession with it.
it would seem like Q has become the equivalent of modern day KKK type rallies.
10 people in a room, 9 FBI informants and one dumbass taking their directions.
All while being hyped as a MASSIVE conspiracy of the highest order, requiring all ever increasing levels funding levels for the FBI and other law enforcement branches.
Q was nothing more than a NSA/FBLie/etc ruse to find conservatives dumb enough to fall for the Q B S!
It’s funny how there is still a bunch of Qtards here at Free Republic who still have their own threads.
Yet if you look at such a thread, you see nothing more than a bunch of delusional folks doing nothing more than chit chatting and shooting the breeze. They used to talk about Qdrops and such nonsense. But there have not been any of those since last year.
Yet they press on. WW1WiggyWaggyWWG.
People like chatting and most are good and really smart people. people made FRiends.
Rothschild, Rothschild… where have I heard that name before?
And many conservatives followed this advice and sat at home - while the Deep State stole the election.
I did argue with them before and after the election if they had proof of anything they needed to get it out now.
I was told Q wasn't concerned about my timeline.
The Q conspiracy is the ultimate blue pill for weak minded folks on the right.
Everything will be alright, just trust the plan.
Delusional thinking...
Maybe just line ‘em up? Would that feed the blood thirst against the harmless creatures?
Or, ya’ could lighten up just a little and cast ‘em into FEMA CAMPS?
🤔.... Nah, back to the blood thirst. Line ‘em up and bang? Right?
Divisive much? Carry on.
Skeptical Inquirer has no credibility ever since they sold out on the global warming scam. Turned out that for a price they were willing to spew the prescribed narrative. They’ve long since gone down the drain, like Scientific American did.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please share with all FReeperdom what YOU did when you bestirred yourself, went out, and prevented the Deep State from stealing the election...
No doubt, there's widespread applause awaiting the revelation of your noble and effectiveeffective action!
This little soy boy faggot has no f invalid idea what he’s talking about
The GREAT AWAKENING
Patriots

This pack of intellects have been set up, with their very own Rothschild. 🤣
The Rothschilds tossed a bone into mud-water and see the piranhas consume it.
The bitch and moan congregation find a hero there way. “Eat Their Own”, a fine motto.
I’d rather sew labels on underwear for Fruit of the Loom. 🤭
We have come full circle and it’s time for something new.
"Trust the plan. Trust Sessions. Trust Durham..."
ransomnote: So far so good.
"Conservatives, shut up and sit on your hands, the White Hats at the alphabet agencies are on it, and will take care of everything."
Oh you made that up. Q never said that. Q advocated public participation and told us a few times that, "You've forgotten how.." Q said, "Get Loud! Be Heard!" When Hannity and others were being canceled (show pulled, threat of being detained) Q reminded us to stand by them, so we shared phone numbers at networks and email addresses to ask where they were, why they weren't on their shows.
Now why would you have to make up FAKE NEWS just to have something to criticize us with?
And many conservatives followed this advice and sat at home - while the Deep State stole the election.
Are you supporting the Deep State Mainstream Media false assertion that President Trump lost??!!!
Those who followed Q attended rallies, worked in local republican and conservative organizations to get out the vote; learned HTML in order to share videos, images and memes; we learned meme, gif and image software to spread campaign and rally information; we learned how to compose effective pro Trump memes using meme genration websites and 3rd party hosting to quickly share Trump's accomplishments and courage and refute with info graphics false assertions on his record. We fought against the MOAD (mother of all disinformation) campaigns to protect an accurate reflection of his work, and launched phone call campaigns to notify our state and federal 'representatives' that they can start looking for work if they went against him.
I don't know if you realized it but the 2nd Amendment protest in Richmond Virginia was in fact a pivotal moment in our nations history and we worked to untangle the fear porn and educate people as to what it meant and why they had to attend if at all physically possible. Had patriots, including those who follow Q content not done that, guns would have been stripped ahead of the election and I doubt the world would even know that Biden is a Chinese puppet who lost to President Trump.
We prayed together, supported each other, worked to get out the vote and showed our support by attendeding Presidential rallies. We debated other FReepers to keep support for the president strong because the whole nation had to see the overwhelming number of votes he went on to win matched the overwhelming online and in-public support priort to the election. We and patriots everywhere worked together to help President break records for the number of votes received. He was elected by an overwheling majority.
Where were your efforts? Why didn't you stop the steal? If you organized call your rep/senator campaigns I would have called when you posted them but I never saw any. I didn't see you do anything we and other patrtiots didn't do.
Blaming Q and conservatives for the theft of the 2020 election is dishonest and frankly befitting the MainStream Media's team. They want to divide us - Q has said that over and over. "Stay together." And here you are trying to get those who didn't follow Q to blame those who did for treasonous actions of the deep state.
Regardless of who or what Q is. It amazes me what a bunch of dumb sheeple there are her on FR. The kind that can’t wait to listen to and follow a Rothschild and follow stories from the left. And you might want to question the ones who post them.
