The Truth About Q-Anon
Dr. Seb Gorka homepage ^ | April 8, 2019 | Dr. Seb Gorka

Posted on 04/10/2019 10:11:03 AM PDT by romanesq

During the 2018 Midterms in the United States, strange signs started appearing at political rallies. Held up by non-descript attendees, the signs read simply, “We are Q.” For those Trekkers out there, you might be confused: no, these rallygoers were not making an oblique reference to the infamous Star Trek: The Next Generation character portrayed by John de Lancie. The group appeared from the fringes of internet chat rooms, such as on the website of 4Chan, a peculiar mixture of cyberpunks and various online misfits.

“Q” is derived from an anonymous poster on the internet forum, a source claiming to have a top secret clearance with the U.S. intelligence community. This person (or group of people) spun an intricate conspiracy theory that many Far Right activists on gonzo internet forums picked up and began disseminating to wider audiences online and in their communities.

The conspiracy goes like this: the real purpose of the Robert Mueller special counsel investigation was not to investigate Donald Trump, but instead to investigate Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and people like former Hillary Clinton campaign chairman, John Podesta. The QAnon conspiracy theory is far-reaching, with new pieces added with regularity, in the form of what Q supporters refer to as “breadcrumbs.” One such addition to the conspiracy theory last year was that the Mueller probe was also looking into the now-deceased Senator John McCain (R-AZ) for his illegal activities.

What is the ultimate end of the QAnon conspiracy; what does Mueller hope to achieve, according to them?

That part, like most conspiracy theories, is conveniently not knowable. The Mueller investigation, having ended in a whimper rather than the bang the Trump-hating Fake News was hoping for, should have been the end of the QAnon conspiracy theory. QAnon conspiracy theorists have simultaneously argued that the ultimate target of the Mueller investigation is either the “Deep State” of nefarious anti-American, globalist actors, or the aim is to pursue high-profile pedophiles in the United States government and in other powerful circles related to the government.

QAnon’s Pernicious Connections to “Pizzagate”

Now for the most pernicious aspect of the QAnon conspiracy theory. In 2016, conspiracists on 4Chan and other similar fringe messaging boards claimed that the emails stolen from Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s (and subsequently made public by WikiLeaks) contained secret messages referring to a powerful ring of pedophiles who were using a local Washington, D.C. pizzeria as a base of operations to conduct their crimes. None of these claims were true. But, what ended up happening was that the highly irresponsible conspiracy theory triggered a mentally unstable man, who in turn took a gun to a D.C. pizzeria with intent to use it.

The source material for these theories is the vile, uber-fringe 4Chan and 8Chan. 4Chan was launched in 2003 as a place to share images and discuss Japanese anime. In fact, it was modeled on the Japanese anime internet boards, such as Futaba Channel. Over time, though, the already eclectic group of online personalities that 4Chan attracted devolved into something darker. It became a haven for crazed conspiracy theorists from both sides of the political divide. 4Chan also became popular among the white nationalist community, and also became a place for hackers and other criminals–including child pornographers. If there was a Hell on the internet, 4Chan was Hell.

Meanwhile, a similar website, created by gonzo software developer, Frederick Brennan, 8Chan was launched in 2013 as a response to what Brennan believed was the rise in authoritarianism, censorship, and surveillance on 4Chan. Despite the fact that 8Chan has become the 3,857th most viewed website in the world, with an average of 35,000 unique visitors per day and 400,000 original posts per day, it too has become mired in controversy. 8Chan, which has been billed as the more libertarian (though, perhaps libertine would be better) 4Chan, has apparently become a hub of international child pornography postings. This became such a problem that, in 2015, 8Chan was blacklisted by Google search. It is a profound understatement to claim that anything positive or good comes from these boards. Yet, it is precisely from sites like these that the “Pizzagate” and now the QAnon conspiracy theories emanate.

Alternative media figures, such as Mike Cernovich, have also furthered the “Pizzagate” and QAnon conspiracy theories. Some of these individuals have massive social media followings. With big internet names furthering the conspiracies, it was only a matter of time before disaster struck. In 2016, when the pizzeria shooting happened, several media outlets attempted to lay the blame at the feet of people like Cernovich. This only gave the Fake News Industrial Complex more fuel in their ongoing war against President Trump and the Right.

The very same group of internet Alt-Right activists and online forums that furthered the “Pizzagate” conspiracy have also spread the QAnon conspiracy theory.

Here are some of the other bizarre, totally inaccurate predictions that QAnon has made:

01/21/18 – A flood was alleged to be coming. A flood consisting of various forms of media that I imagine were supposed to implicate somebody in something nefarious. Sadly, this flood never came.

01/21/18 – Q makes some very certain claims about the Nunes Memo, which of course do not come remotely true when the memo is released a couple weeks later.

01/22/18 – Q posts a confirmed fake Podesta email, then promptly deletes it. But not before his followers have time to notice. 02/09/18 – Next week [Next week] was declared ‘suicide weekend‘. Nothing came to pass.

02/21/18 – Q predicts that the founder of Twitter is removing accounts because he and his Deep State friends are in deep trouble. Nothing came to pass.

03/15/18 – Q declares ‘March Madness’ and that ‘the public will soon know’. Nothing came to pass.

04/02/18 – April was supposed to be a “BIG month“, full of happenings including but not limited to arrests, the release of the IG report, the wall, “military start”, and unsealed indictments. Nothing came to pass.

Where Does QAnon Go From Here?

Things have gotten even stranger for the QAnon conspiracists now that Special Counsel Robert Mueller has submitted his final report. While the report has not yet been made public, Attorney General William Barr has seen it, and he has issued a summary of the report.

AG Barr explains that Mueller has not proven any collusion or coordination between President Donald Trump, his top 2016 campaign staffers, and Russian intelligence. The focus of the investigation was Donald Trump and his 2016 presidential campaign. Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Podesta, or even John McCain were not targets of the Mueller probe in any way as Q promised.

The fact that the QAnon conspiracy theory is tied in with the “Pizzagate” fiasco is bad enough. The more damaging part is that these cult-like actors link themselves to the Trump movement, despite the fact that no member of the Trump movement has anything to do with these insane theories. They are the outgrowth of a pathetic group who exist online, in the dark corners of the worldwide web. That they have attached their delusions to the Trump movement is unfortunate.

But, they do not represent and are not affiliated with President Trump, his supporters, or those who work for the president.

Recently, some Q supporters have insisted that certain pictures of President Trump and key advisers in the White House “prove” that they are, in fact, members of the Q conspiracy because their positioning makes it appear as though they are displaying subliminal messages about Q. These internet personalities claim to be supporting the President. Yet, consistently, their actions have shown that they are not allies of the President. They damage and besmirch the Trump movement with their irresponsible actions.

In that their actions, both directly and indirectly, aid those who would do damage to the Make America Great Again Agenda and see it fail. Whoever Q or QAnon may be, they are most decidedly not close to the President, they are not Conservatives, and with every post they make, they subvert the MAGA Agenda.

Not my YouTube channel but it’s well over 1,000 since it was created last night.
Just as a point of fact for the guy who did: Defango.

Defango happens to be one of the people to have confessed to his role in creating the QAnon hoax. He did it as a social experiment with others like Microchip and James Brower.

They’ve all confessed to it. They hate what the people who took it to 8chan have done.

They hate that people are people are being abused, misled and scammed.

But of course the invisible QAnon god can’t come out from anywhere but share this vital alleged US military intel anywhere but on an unsecured obscure web forum where HE has absolutely no control with what happens to it.

Well, alrighty then!

Okay, Defango’s broadcast from last night is over 1200. More fun at the expense of the QAnon hoaxers. Go CMAR and have a nice day.

Yup you and the msm are in lockstep in trying to slander Trump and Q

So How often do you agree and parrot the talking points of the Washington Post and the NY Times article and other fake news outlets?

You know as a true Trump supporter you claim to be. LoL

Here we go again with the boring repetition. Asked and answered.
You FALSELY assume that revealing the QAnon hoax is the equivalent in “trying to slander Trump.”

I’ve made this abundantly clear. I don’t know what grade of school you completed but I’m not going to keep repeating the answer to the same stupid nonsense you repeat over and over in dumb questions.

That kid just murdered someone for your QAnon god. If anyone writes about it, so what? He just flushed his life down the toilet over an admitted scam. The people who created it are sad and angry at what’s happened. All of it.

SMH. How utterly sad and worse, pathetic.

You keep claiming I’m jealous of preying insect. Incorrect.

Why would I be jealous of a scammer? I want to see his “ministry” where he claims to be “decoding” the QAnon droppings as religious work. People who know him point out he was an atheist who looked to convert online followers into money.

This is a guy who would sell his “materials” to people on how to grow limbs and raise people from the dead.

Well, I guess some people would anoint him as their God. LMAO!

Word is the Feds are now looking into the big time money scam. I hope preying insect keeps going right up until the handcuffs take him away.

Some folks are now analyzing that last QAnon dropping of turd because it’s obvious that it’s QAnon generation 3. People suspect that Pamphlet Coleman is bailing and sold the tripcode to the high bidder, preying insect.

Things are getting good.

Speaking of which, with all the major news out in recent weeks, where has the Qult god been? Pretty silent when evidence started coming out how they foolishly outed themselves.

MAGAcoaltion.com has really had a field day with that real-world evidence.
The sooner the Qult goes down in flames the better for President Trump.

If one person is snapped out of this gross internet hoax, it’s worth it.

You have to save as many as you can. People contacting me are pleased about it and noted that you can’t get a straight answer to a simple question when posed to the QAnon conned.

I did look and see that’s conclusively accurate.

I’m saying you’re illogical and you keep trying to feed the same conclusion.
You can’t speak for me just because you don’t know how to formulate a coherent response.

People who reveal the truth about the QAnon hoax are not in league with people who are against President Trump and his real-world efforts. Circular conclusions ignoring that is simply unfortunate.

It’s limp to keep doing it but hey if that’s all you got.

LOL, that's funny you bring up Microchip. He was exposed as a fraud by researchers here and around the webs.

I guess that's not important to you. The important thing for you is to stay on the attack-Q narrative, even though it's proven time and again the Q movement is on the MAGA train with lots of Patriotic Americans following it. All the while, you are spamming for a so-called maga website, which is on the same anti-Q narrative as our corrupt enemy media, LOL.

With every post you expose yourself a little more...

Yes, you keep on repeating yourself. But like Peter Strzok said, there’s no there there.

Keep saying it: Magacoaltion.com

They will be on the air on YouTube tonight about 10:00 PM. I’m sure they will discuss big issues and do some excellent MAGA analysis.

They might even have a few more truths to reveal on the QAnon Hoax.
That would be most excellent!

Oh yeah, why did preying insect writing as QAnon go after a tiny Trump PAC again?
LMAO! That preying insect outed himself posting as QAnon.

Love it!

Hey BiggBob,

Do you know why preying insect was trying to get in with Magacoaltion?
What happened? Did preying medic get turned away only to return as QAnon and attack?

Hi CG,

Yes, everyone who’s confessed to having been involved in the QAnon hoax on 4chan, everyone who has been in the Trump White House who has renounced and denounced QAnon are all wrong.

Only an anonymous team appearing on 8chan scamming Baby Boomers is telling the truth no matter how many times they are wrong.

Right.

Let me know which prison Hillary, Huma and Podesta are in. LMAO!

I known you don’t like when I point out that you are doing the MSMs biding in their attempts to slander TRUMP
You just keep pretending they didn’t point out the killer had MAGA written on his hands

As for maga coalition i’ll be watching playoff hockey so they will just have to live with the 168 viewers they had yesterday.

Besides Q said not to follow paytriots who are just out to make money off Q which anyone can read for themselves for free at:

8 chan or
Qmap.pub Or
Qanon.pub

Do you get a grifter bonus for pimping out more viewers?

I know YouTube gives like $5 for every thousand viewers

How about I just give you a dime instead and I don’t tune in...
