From Trolling To Fleecing: Co-Creator Of ‘Q’ Hoax Explains Its Scary Evolution
The Federalist ^ | October 29, 2018 | Georgi Boorman

Posted on 10/29/2018 8:37:17 AM PDT by detective

A little less than a year after the first QAnon post, which has since led hundreds of thousands of news junkies down a conspiracy rabbit hole, news correspondent Jack Posobiec from One America News Network spoke with one of the co-originators of the “Q” persona who runs a group of individuals posing as a high-level government intelligence officer. On an anonymous “free speech” platform called 8Chan, they leave thousands of riddles, “clues,” odd questions, and cryptic lines as bread crumbs for their followers to help them in their search for truth.

Many major media outlets have overviewed the nest of conspiracy theories nurtured within Q followers. While many have speculated about who is behind Q and how it came to exist, thanks to Posobiec’s extensive research and the confession of a co-creator who goes by the pseudonym “Microchip,” we now know, with a high degree of certainty, the real origin story of QAnon.

It is my understanding that no articles about this topic be posted anywhere except on Q thread.

I was under the same impression.

Q is motivating the anons and the public to wake up the sleeping sheople of the evil that is at work in our nation and around the world. It’s a non-classified way of revealing the draining of the swamp.

Qanons are never asked to donate at 8chan. Their research and posts at Q research is free and anonymous. Q never asks for money. Some discussion sites ask for donations to keep their servers and sites running like Free Republic.

All you have to do is look through the comments on this thread to see the division that has been sown by Q among patriots.

You don't have to tell me.

But I contend that it isn't Q initiating the division. And he's not.

That's like the media is doing Trump. Accusing HIM of sewing division. Trump (and Q) want unity among patriots, and in fact ALL Americans.

Any division comes from other sources. Much of it sewn by the enemy, the derp state/CIA/media, etc.

No matter what anybody believes of Q, they are patriots above all else.

Only timely arrests will prove Q true.

You must have read the Q posts that have addressed this NUMEROUS times.

"Timely", but according to whose timetable? Mine? Yours? No. Trumps and his team. That's the only timetable that counts.

As he once said, "It's a complicated business".

PAIN is coming. Guaranteed.

👌

LOL. Now, now, you know that phrase is only for the deep state and probably applicable to the author of the article but not Freepers. I like using “This is not a game” whenever I can.

I was a 12 yr old Marvel comic fan.

So that's a good thing.

That’s funny! Prior to the 2016 election there was plenty of division between Trump supporters and the Cruz supporters. Many people thought us Trump supporters were wasting our vote.

There has been an incredible proof as of late. One that proves Q+ is our beloved President. QPost 2347. Answer is on twitter, and, oh, you’ll need to ask a Q follower to decode it for you.

Later doubters....

He also says that he and the rest of Trump's team are doing their part, and that we have to do ours. And to get out the vote.

Where you guys get this "making us docile" thing also boggles.

p.s. If we in fact do our part, the mid-terms ARE secure. FYI.

Put that on lock.

How will you handle it if say, JFK’s murder, was a CIA op? How would the general population react? How would the general population react to actual human sacrifice by people in power? It’s the red line, but as you say being fed theories just hardens hearts (losing empathy) to the truth. Why do you think the movies are made (by MSM, by MSM)? Why do the psych studies show that violent games don’t make you violent they make you LOSE YOUR EMPATHY. Nothing to see here, move along.

Likewise those that follow Q are keeping track of those who don't just doubt, but mock followers of Q. One day the truth will come out.

Likewise those that follow the Great Pumpkin are keeping track of those who don't just doubt, but mock followers of the Great Pumpkin. One day the seeds will sprout.

The revelations are the draining of the swamp events. That’s why Trump was elected, right? Or was it only to make more money?

The most triggered response to posts are about child trafficking and sacrifice. That is what they want stopped and that is why they want to see justice.

Human trafficking arrests are always NOTABLES at 8chan. Just found this from a link there. It’s just a map.

"There is NOTHING bout Q or what he says that divides patriots."

I'll give you a couple of examples...Remember how he used the phrase "Day of Days" a few days before SOTU? ... Then nothing happened? The D-Day reference was obviously intentional and not missed by many patriots like myself who have grandfathers buried on Normandy Beach. Honest misstep or intentional chaos creator? Only handcuffs will tell.

Q's last post ... about frustration over lack of arrests ... Our fault because we are being emotional, selfish and illogical? REALLY Q? The division sown among patriots is not because WE are emotional, selfish and illogical, it is because Q hasn't proven he is TRUSTWORTHY! Talk is cheap. Our President doesn't need Q to fire people!

I have diminishing hope and am waiting for arrests, AND I admit that comments like his last one are EXACTLY the kind of thing that cult leaders say.

The military tribunal thing is hopeful, especially when it came up during the Kavanaugh hearings. The midterm thing is frustrating but barely tolerable. If a mass of perp walks don't start immediately after, I will go back to what we patriots should have been doing the last year instead chasing white rabbits...like I did at the Bundy Ranch standoff.

Tick tock Q...
