From Trolling To Fleecing: Co-Creator Of ‘Q’ Hoax Explains Its Scary Evolution
The Federalist ^ | 10/30/2018 | Georgi Boorman

Posted on 10/30/2018 10:33:15 PM PDT by Simon Foxx

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.

Funny—there’s been no definitive refutation of the Q story. If somebody thinks there has, try posting it.

False...I never said Qanon was hacked by You-tubers, your cognitive dissonance must be acting up again.

Yes, you did. You stated that Q was taken over by YouTubers and moved to 8Chan. That's a hacking. ,. . That makes you a liar. The rest is bogus.

Again, we know more about this than you, a dilettante, who has not at all followed Q except for the negative, deep-state attack claims that do not hold up to scrutiny.

Just because this guy could put a Q at the lead on Q chan did not get him on Q's limited posting area. . . nor did it put it on Q with Q'actual tripcode. . . it just added it to the Q discussion area on 8Chan, looking like a Q post. His claims were debunked at the time. Don't you think if it were as easy as copying the first eight characters of Q's tripcode and pasting them into and adding some random string millions of others would be doing it too? They aren't, so his claims are completely bogus.

Were there attacks on Q's area? Yes, there were. . . Did Q change tripcodes? Yes. Why did changing tripcodes STOP the attacks bozo from continuing his or whomever was attacking's hijinks cold? Because it was not just reading the first eight characters as claimed by this bozo. So, Mac_truck, if spoofing Q's ID were so easy, why did this guy stop? The reason is he never did. It wasn't him. These were the posts I was referring to that were archived by others that did NOT MATCH WHAT HE CLAIMED!

False...I never said Qanon was hacked by You-tubers, your cognitive dissonance must be acting up again.

Quoting YOU mac_truck:

"The You-tubers who took over Q-anon and moved it to 8-Chan have changed the Q-anon trip-code a number of times themselves, so the original Q wouldn't know what the current Q-anon trip-code is...but that by itself wouldn't invalidate his creation story."

So, you see, you've been caught in another lie. You don't even have a clue as to when and why the Q narrative was moved from 4chan to 8chan. You are just echoing things you've heard without any degree of real knowledge.

I find it very interesting you need to use ad hominem attacks, such as "your cognitive dissonance must be acting up again," to bolster your lies. You posted this kind of garbage in the Q threads along with the ad hominem attacks.

Repeating Microchip's debunked assertions months after their falsification does not rehabilitate them, mac, it only makes you deep stater advocates look more desperate.

I bounced in and out of the Q threads, so maybe I missed it, but I definitely lever saw any thing even remotely resembling a request for money.If you went to the sources like "Neon Revolt", "Mountain Medic", James Corsi, etc. All of 'em are monitiing like mad. Mostly T-shirts, Corsi got a book out of his Q stuff. Shortly after he dropped out after denouncing Q as fake. The Q folowers denounced him.

So this Georgi Boorman, the author of this BS article has a BS in anthropology and that’s it. In her bio, if you click on it, she claims her ‘expertise’ to write this politics based article on Q is..............

Ha ha ha. Really? So a college educated person can't have the expertise to write about Q? Have you applied this standard to Neon Revolt? Or all the other "decoders"?

Questioning the academic credentials of a writer who is writing about politics is the last refuge of a scondrel.

By the way, didn’t all you anti-Q people get Q banned and censored off the main board here and confined to only the Q thread like a bunch of bed wetting cry baby anti-free speech liberals? So why are you breaking the rules y’all worked so hard to establish?I wasn't part of any such effort, and did participate in the Q boards.

I was asked to leave the Q boards by Ransomnote, who is the organizer of them, and harassed with all sorts of vile personal attacks by others there, merely for questioning things on the Q board, and posting some hard facts. So, either we can talk about stuff here, or we can talk about stuff there.

What the Q people really want is a Free Republic where they alone can expound on Q and there is no forum for skeptics and debunkers to even have a say.

And you guys almost got that! Amazing.

And then call us "anti-free speech". Ha ha ha.

4. The worst case scenario for Q is that he/she has united Trump world.

Yes, look at the "uniting" right here! It includes dividing Freepers into pro and anti-Q, segregating the board, and banning people, not to mention many people leaving FR over the treatment on the Q boards.

If Q is merely a group of Anon's playing games and selling T-shirts then that is deeply destructive. Thousands of people have been encouraged to believe in a lie. It's a long running fraud or confidence game. If you don't understand the inherent evil in that I am surprised.

I know it happened, I have PMs from some of them.

Q - Info was always crap and I have not spent more than five minutes of my life reading that crap....THE BEST PART was how Sessions had tasked Huber in Utah to investigate the deep state. How Huber was going to indict 40,000 or more people. PATHETIC. Complete garbage.

I'd love for EVERBODY here to take part.

Oh, that's great to hear. Does that include Ransomnote too? You guys are sort of co-mods of the board, right?

When you say take part are you willing to allow Q skeptics to post things without name-calling them now?

Has their really been a change of heart over there?

Might have been 4 Billion that Utah Huber was going to be indicting.
The big mystery is what happened to Jeff Sessions? The big Q story and theme was “trust the process”, that Sessions appointed Utah AG Huber so that he could investigate and indict the anti-Trump bad actors/ LOL LOL LOL

That a Utah outsider would being these Deep Swamp people in Washington DC to justice. Real blame goes on idiot child Jeff Sessions.

No argument from me!
Particularly given what we see, of course new verifiable facts that don’t require “hocus pocus” require new conclusions.

cool..thanks for the info...much appreciated

No problem...the encryption technology used by the Chans was developed in the late 1970s, when only mainframes had the computational power to crack trip-codes.

Nowadays the average laptop has more than enough CPU to get the job done.
