Why Thousands Are Obsessed With A Nest Of Conspiracy Theories Called QAnon

QAnon is a conspiracy theory so far reaching and comprehensive, there is virtually no other conspiracy theory it leaves untouched, from the government hiding the UFOs to JFK Jr. surviving his plane crash. The fact that it envelops so many other theories helps explain why QAnon is the most popular shadow-rule fantasy of our time.

... top Democrats are actually human traffickers and pedophiles, along with some Hollywood stars. Many are also supposedly Satanists and blood-drinkers and drug traffickers, too.

This cabal of evildoers is supposedly headed by Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, who are secretly planning a coup on the president. A sampling of other beliefs are: that the Rothschilds are supposedly leaders of a Satanic cult, that Debbie Wasserman Schultz sent MS-13 to kill DNC staffer Seth Rich, that the Rothschilds and/or JP Morgan sunk the Titanic (even though his own company owned it), and that Kim Jong Un was actually installed as a puppet dictator by the CIA.

The most salient belief Q followers drill down on in their analysis is that Special Counsel Robert Mueller is not actually investigating President Trump and his team for Russia collusion — that’s just a cover for his secret investigation of Hillary Clinton. Every day, Trump is putting on a circus for the media, making himself look like a fool; but behind the scenes, he is playing a highly complex game of 4D chess to defeat the deep state and drain the swamp, and even the most studious Q believers can only hope to get an inkling about his strategies.

As Q wrote on Aug. 14, as if in defense of the 4D chess theory of POTUS’s behavior, “Has POTUS made a statement AS PRESIDENT that hasn’t ended up being TRUE AND CORRECT?”

Qanon is just this years version of Pizzagate. Or think Birthergate oh so many years ago.

Wait.

You don't believe in "pizzagate" and "birthergate"?

You're kidding, right?

You are the perfect example why i will feel no empathy for the deluded q believers when reality finally hits and they realize they have invested all this time and energy in a rather transparent scam. Victims I have sympathy for, dirtbags not so much.

[Cboldt]

Your credibility ... ouch!

Sweet f**k all hapened in July. Sweet f**k all happened in August

Really?

Pick up a newspaper, pal. Oh, wait. Maybe that's your problem.

He's certainly voiced his displeasure over and over again.

And as we have learned, The Donald would never use disinformation.

I've never seen solid confirmation on the USSS saying "Trust the Plan", but I did hear a lot about it. The Rally you speak of was the Rally 2 days after the Tampa Rally in PA. Still, the Tampa Rally was the only Rally I know of where homemade signs were permitted (unless sneaked in).

Q called it on June 26:

July 2018 - the month the world discovered the TRUTH.
Conspiracy no more.
Time to FEED.
Q

I'd say the world discovered the truth July 31st at the Tampa Rally. And behold on Aug 1 the well coordinated attack started. Can you say 4 AM talking points?

[bagster]

It would be beneath his dignity as president to even comment on this kook fad.

Right.

Because as we know, The Donald values "dignity" above all things.

*rolls eyes*

At least one of the guys posing as “Q” already outed himself on a livestream,

You fell for that okeydoke?

And you call us gullible.

Yeesh.

to these conspiracies

Are you aware the the CIA taught you to use the word "conspiracy" in the manner in which you do?

Maybe you're not.

Check out Q to learn more.

It wouldn't be Presideeeeeeeential. </Dr. Savage> LOL! Y'all remember DJT was on the Birther Train early on I'm sure. If Q was fake and a threat to The Movement, POTUS would have already said something. And if he does, I'm cool with that. I listen to what HE says over Q anyway. It just so happens they're on the same page.

> “Sorry, the “kooky” stuff people are talking about are legit posts by Q”

Let’s see them. Give some examples. Pick your favorite kook post by Q and copy it here.

I guarantee you it will not be kooky at all.

AND DO NOT POST SNIPPETS FROM ANONS WHO ARE HAVING A DIALOG WITH Q BECAUSE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT Q, NOT ANONS.

IF YOU ARE GOING TO POST ANONS, COPY THE ENTIRE Q POST WITH THE ANON INSIDE IT. OTHERWISE, I AND OTHERS WILL POINT OUT YOU TOOK THINGS OUT OF CONTEXT.

WOW, nice soapbox ya got there… SURE hope bags joins your “side” soon, lets he be cast out into eternal darkness!!

FR used to be a place where opinions were wanted, even valued. Ive been around, tho didn’t join initially, since whitewater.

This place, via bucket head, was the tip of the spear. Not so much anymore, especially if you don’t follow “group think.”

Tell ya what, go on “infinity” and beat your chest there, like you are here, THEN we shall see what the metal is in your spine. Im there, I’m watching, put your name in the name field and let er roll……..save the unwashed masses, cause you know……its necessary.

BUT, you won’t, you will make snippy remarks at bags, who’s patience is far greater then mine, who’s ability to put on the “silk glove” exceeds mine.

Don’t bother to reply sheep…….I don’t care

If I hear a Q dolt use the word “normies” one more time, I swear…

Normies live in the matrix and have no eyebrows and have tubes connected to them. They provide energy to the derp state matrix machine, much like you are doing right now.

Where do you live?

I formulate my own opinions, does that make me a Q-Tip?

No. That makes you part of #TheGreatAwakening.

more written exposes of the foolish beliefs and even twitter is claimng to expose the moneymaking by the q inventors.

Wait. You're with Twitter too?

You have strange allies, goodman.

Yep.

Mockingbird is real. Confirmed by recently released JFK documents. Long held as a 'Conspiracy Theory'. Anyone talking about 'OPERATION MOCKINGBIRD' in previous decades was branded a 'kook', a 'Conspiracy Theorist'. Of course.

And Conan O'Brien found humor in a baby local Mockingbird Media here:

What a coincidence!

[bagster]

many of us are at the age where we'd rather not waste any more precious time chasing after phantoms.

You're right.

Better to sit there and chase nothing.

You don’t need us to tell you that gas prices are back on the rise.

[bagster]

The number of q exposes in the last 15 days has multiplied.

Oddly enough, that has only strengthened the belief of the faithful. They see it as confirmation that Q is real.

All this for a Larp?

So what’s your excuse for why Trump hasn’t fired him?
