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.

Hold on right there, Hoss.

You said this;

They’ve paid people who worked an event. One featured Seb Gorka

And right after, you said this,

There’s nothing illegal in the payments made to Gorka or Palin. Gorka wasn’t involved beyond a quarter, less than three months.

So which is it? They paid Gorka "who worked an event" or he was "involved for 'less than three months'"?

As you may surmise, the two are not the same. And I have provided documentation that he was paid 20k a month for those three months for, not "an event", but for "consulting fees".

You can't even keep up with your lies, but you're getting warm. And why the lies, anyway. Do you just not know the extent he was taking PAC money for so-called "consulting" or you are you purposefully trying to deceive?

And what's Sarah Palin got to do with anything? She didn't go work in the White House, get fired, then proceed to badmouth Trump's Q team.

Leave my Sarah out of this. I know it's just a tactic to try to clean up your derp PAC and derpish Gorka by association.

Stop. You're not dealing with a fool here, mister fancy pants.

No, it’s all imaginary Gorka was in the WH

Key word here is WAS. WAS in the White House. Then he got fired. You don't seem to understand that point.

He.Was.Fired.

By Trump. For a reason.

You got a crush on Gorka or what? Or is he just a tool you are using to bash Q.

He's not the President's advisor, no matter how much you want it to be so.

If he were, he'd still have his office in the White House.

Did you know he lost his FOX NEWS gig? Seems even they would want a WH Insider and advisor to a President on staff.

Hmmmm. Interesting factoid, eh?

Your story is falling apart fast, shill.

And the lies don't help.

Yes, he worked with the PAC for less than a quarter; done. He left to go work for Fox TV.

He did the one event and he was paid for that event and another which didn’t go anywhere as he left for a TV gig.

There’s nothing remotely illegal about any of it. People have a right to take opportunities and Seb Gorka came and went. He went to Fox and apparently returned a payment as he wasn’t going to do any more work in any future event.

So he got two payments for less than three months involving one full event and another related to the Horowitz weekend. I just dug through some FEC PDFs.

Big deal.

The only grifting is with your false idol, #QAnon taking boomers for a ride.

Hmm that's weird why is there a stocking for "Q" in the Trump Christmas video?

Merely a coincidence, old chap.

They thought the "O" stocking just wasn't Christmasy enough, and decided to make it into a "Q" with a piece of tape.

Don't forget the Trump Hotel "baker" with the frog pin on her chef coat.

Another coincidence, I'm sure.

So many coincidences.

Nothing to see here.

😃

So you called Seb Gorka a grifter because he exposed the QAnon hoax (like many others I might add.)

No matter how much you fabricate about him and others, it doesn’t help your false idol worship by a bunch of scammers.

You have nothing but do squawk quite a bit. Turn down the VCR and tell Brian that you are tired of his work.

Squirt! Squirt!

Why is there a Q on my local street sign?

For the record, your street is not a Trump Hotel and your street wasn't featured in a Trump video and your street wasn't posted by Q with the modified Q stocking.

You're doing it again, being intentionally dense and not thinking. I would advise you to stop and actually THINK about all these proofs, but I suspect you have an agenda. So let the audience observe. Some of them may be able to be influenced by evidence.

Oh, I do think it’s a “team”, just a team of scam artists who are all working together to perpetrate a fraud. A fraud which, at this point, is quite transparent.

So it's some other mental block that keeps you from seeing the overwhelming evidence that it's NOT a fraud.

Let's explore this.

I’ll take that bet. Put your money where your mouth is.

Don't bet him. He's not honest enough to admit it EVER. He'll just lie to win the bet.

I know these types.

Some of them won't EVER admit the truth, even when it slaps them in the face. It's a matter of pride for them by now.

He’s hosting MAGA and POTUS’ son, Donald Trump Jr.

So?

You keep harping on that. How does that make him an advisor to the President.

You do get that most of the media won't have anything to do with the Trumps, right? Don Jr goes where he can to get heard.

Are you really this simple? Because Trump Jr talks to him on his show then Gorka is some kind of WH insider and advisor?

I'll let you in on a secret you may not know. Hannity is more in touch with The Donald than Gorka is.

Sara Carter and Jon Solomon are plugged into the White House via the Q team (through channels) more than your precious Gorka is.

And that, my FRiend, is the straight squirt.

Your word associations are vaguely entertaining, limply inaccurate.

Ok, well have them tell us to confirm the veracity of your false idol. Prove it!

The Q book is free? Did you get your free copy detailing the grift?
Tell us more.

Tell us also about the people posting as QAnon who also seek payments as they “decode” their posts.

It’s into seven figures. It’s an internet scam. Smart’en up!

SMH

There will be a new special counsel made public (lindsey Graham asked for one the other day)

I'm gonna have to disagree, there BB.

Q has said, and I agree, that the Horowitz/Huber team, which has been investigating all these things for over a year, under the direction of the Keebler Elf himself (TRUST SESSIONS).

Think of the ramp-up time a new "special counsel" would take to get up and running. No, I think Huber is enough. Once DECLAS hits, the indictments will flow.

And nothing can stop what is coming. Nothing.

This has all been planned out with military precision, as you well know.

Some people on this thread will remember our words here, hopefully, and repent.

Haha.
