Whatever Happened to QAnon?
American Thinker.com ^ | May 7, 2021 | Jeffrey Folks

Back in February, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was stripped of her committee roles, despite her expression of "regret" for some of her more extreme views. One of the charges against Rep. Greene is that she has supported QAnon, whose central claim is that there exists an elite whose members exercise political power and who indulge in promiscuity and other corrupt forms of behavior.

In a Washington Post article co-written by Isaac Stanley-Becker and Rachel Bade, Greene was dismissed as having endorsed the "baseless theory" of QAnon. Stanley-Becker and Bade devoted most of their article to critiquing QAnon rather than addressing Greene's policies, including her unwavering support for the police. Yet without evidence to corroborate it, the Post authors rejected the central claim of QAnon: that a powerful cabal of elitists, some with a history of pedophilia and other corrupt practices, exists within the Democrat party and the media that support it.

Maybe liberal journalists don't know corruption when they see it. Perhaps they don't believe that promiscuity or prostitution is "corrupt." Or that using cocaine and other illegal drugs is "corrupt," or even that sex with underage persons is "corrupt." By that definition, the press can maintain that liberal politicians are not corrupt, so they can dismiss QAnon's thinking as a "baseless theory."

A Time magazine story of April 16 offered a similar critique of certain conservatives who purportedly view "former President Donald Trump as a messianic figure battling a cadre of deep-state operatives." This is a good example of rhetorical fudging: is it that Trump is viewed as a "messianic figure" or that he is "battling ... deep-state operatives"? I don't know any conservatives who view the former president as a "messianic figure,"

QAnon served the purpose of getting Trump out of office.

That is why it was created in the first place.

There is no such thing as Qanon. There is Q and there are Anons. If the liberals knew who Q is, they would crap their panties an assume the fetal position. The Capital is almost empty. The swamp is being drained. Thousands of children being rescued.

The CIA disinformation crew got reassigned.

Now they are working on a project to attack some other Republicans.

QAnon was what we knew it to be. Quidam. A source of telling people what they wanted to hear.

Not unlike all the “prophets” who were told by God that Trump would be President right now. Fleece the marks.

Q got called upstairs because mom had his Hot Pockets ready. He’ll come back to the basement as soon as the daystar comes out.

“Whatever Happened to QAnon?”

He dropped the Q. Goes by Anon now to maintain his anonymity

Does that bratty little 7y/o child known as “baggiepants” with an IQ of a bowling ball still believe in his tooth fairy?

Q is a con. It always has been a con.

It’s a slick, well packaged con. But it’s still a con.

Qanon was a propaganda organ of the left created for disinformation purposes.

Maybe someday the Fraudster will be unmasked
