Why Thousands Are Obsessed With A Nest Of Conspiracy Theories Called QAnon
http://thefederalist.com/ ^ | August 21 2018 | Georgi Boorman

Posted on 08/22/2018 9:19:05 AM PDT by Para-Ord.45

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?”

Evidently you don’t know about recess appointments or how The Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998 works. Trump is not at the mercy of McConnell and Ryan.

I have repeatedly asked for answers to a number of questions.

Okeydokes, I've watched you from day one.

I don't think "asked for answers" means what you think it means.

Unless name calling and ridicule is a question.

Pelham, um ...

Try not to show your educated intellect on these Q Kook Bash celebration threads.

It really ruins the Anti-Q sentiment!

“All this talk of extraterrestrials building the Great Puramids is nonsense?”

I've read all the Q posts. Musta missed that one.

Thanks for the response, Oracle. I love your posts on the Q threads as they are very entertaining and informative.

For me personally, Free Republic and the Q drops and Q threads are entertainment. I personally have no effect on politics locally or nationally. I vote but I am in Utah so my vote has very little effect. For example, I voted in my neighborhood presidential caucus and the vote was 125 to 5 in favor of Ted Cruz. I was one of the 5 who voted for Trump.

I do try to inform people of what is really going on in politics and show that the MSM is lying to them.

Free Republic as a whole has an effect on national and local politics and I do appreciate that fact. My point was that it doesn’t matter what people choose to be obsessed with and doesn’t matter if that thing is real or fake. I have always believed Q is legit.

Bagster, I am glad that you are obsessed with Q.

Trump doesn’t acknowledge Q because Trump is not a kook. Would you expect Trump to say, “All this talk of extraterrestrials building the Great Puramids is nonsense?” Of course not, because only a nutjob would even consider such a possibility.

Ah no...but if the group of people who were talking about the great pyramids and extraterrestials were claiming that Trump was "in" on it and if was as popular as qanon is and if the lamestream press printed an "expose" of this crazy theory and continually debunked it then I would say, yeah, perhaps Trump WOULD address it or distance himself.

Look, the bottom line is that it HELPS Trump. The reason WHY I think it might be true or at least a psyop campaign is that the leftist media hates it. Anytime the leftist press HATES something that means it's good for the country.

Do you think it HELPS or HURTS Donald Trump and his agenda?

The liar media and their progressive puppetmasters have a love/hate relationship with Q.

Because there is REAL Q,

and,

there is FAKE Q.

Mockingbird loves FAKE Q and hates REAL Q.

“You should stop pushing that lie.”

Anyone can go watch the videos and see for themselves that it isn’t a lie. I guess you have to keep telling yourself something so you can sleep at night though.

As you can tell just on FR where there used to be 500 q posts there are now but a few.

Ya, I saw you post that canard early this morning on the new thread that was started approx. 1030 pm last night.

The prior thread had 1600 plus posts in about three days. Which is about the average.

Lots of new names too.

Does it make you sad that Q is now so mainstream that your allies the derp state media has to coordinate its attack to shut it down?

And I've never see you work so hard to debunk. You've been at this for several months now, derpy.

You are losing ground as the people wake up in their millions.
