Pardon me for asking a stupid question ...

Excuse me if this is a stupid question, but if QAnon is such an existential threat to our republic, as the media and federal law enforcement agencies would have us believe, why haven't they captured or neutralized this threat? After all, we're not talking about cave-hopping, Tora-Bora dwelling Jihadis. The alleged threat isn't emanating from some faraway land. Supposedly, this group is home grown and the US government, we are also led to believe, is keeping close tabs on them. Yet, with the plethora of mind-bogglingly sophisticated tracking and surveillance technology at their disposal, are we supposed to believe the government is helpless against this seemingly almighty foe? Isn't it obvious by now that this whole thing is a crock of BS? There, I said it.

Your thoughts?

As I posted on another thread, these folks are like a cancer to this site. They have spread from their little fenced-in thread and their crap is all over Free Republic now.

Some here have expressed this as "cancel culture", but this a site was formed for the collaboration and sharing of conservative views -- NOT insane conspiracy theories that only serve to tar an entire movement with lunacy. There's plenty of sites across the internet where these folks are welcomed with open arms. They should go there with this nonsense so we can go back to having serious discussions of how to save this republic.

Jim does need to take notice and take action before Free Republic becomes irretrievable...

Every marxist revolution needs a boogeyman that can never be defeated. Q anon, white supremacy, climate change, etc.... They all require constant battle and sacrifice but somehow there is never a victory.

But the antagonists are equally smart people. Hence, I find myself on the fence.

There is only one truth. Either Q is a thing or its not a thing.

Exactly. With overseas communist regimes, it’s usually some external threat. Here, they’ve manufactured a “home-grown” phantom menance to make Americans hate and fear each other. This is pure evil.

Similarly like he was able to shut down the utterly corrupt FBI, utterly corrupt DOJ, and the utterly corrupt Barr, etc.?

If he could have all those corrupt organizations with a tweet, he would have. In fact, he tried. Check out his tweet history.

He could have shut down the Q movement with a tweet or a spicy word to reporters. Easy peezy. You must know this? Do you think I'd believe Q was a thing if Trump said it wasn't?

The answer is no. Escpecially since I believe Q is a fully sanctioned and approved program by Trump himself?

Think, man.

I have no idea what “derp” or “LARP” means, but it must be bad.

A simple reading in context and two brain cells would tell you that 'derp' is a substitute for 'deep' in 'the term 'deep state'. And yes, its bad. Don't be a derp.

LARP = Live Action Role Play. Its a gamer term that over the hill squares on FR have adopted as an explanation for Q. You know, like the fat kid in the basement sh*t posting fakery on the internet and pretending to be Q.

Educate yourself.

Exactly. The Q-tards are in so deep they cannot reason or think logically, even when they are presented with a much more likely scenario.

Funny. reason and logic got me on the Q train and keeps me there even today. I have yet to see ONE logical and reasonable argument refuting Q, try as you mini-thinkers might.

There are no likely scenarios that explain the totality of Q that can't be refuted with one or two sentences and/or the mountains of proof presented by Q that it is what I say it is.

They just don’t understand they got majorly played and actually in some cases contributed to today’s fiasco.

The ones getting majorly played are those of you who side with the derps against Q patriots.

The derps were counting on you falling for their B.S. and you have been more than willing to comply, all the while thinking you were wise.

Your division and denial of Q truths has contributed to handing our country to China.

For now.

Q is a fraud. It’s time it was shown the door here. They make Michael Rivero look rational.

I have paid very little attention to references about Q Anon on FR—mainly because most of the posts are so ludicrously conspiratorial, pure nonsense. And by the way, when has a “Q Anon” prediction ever come true?

So, wait. You have paid 'little attention' to references about Q but know about 'most of the posts' and what they are?

I'm sensing a disconnect in your logic.

You've done a bang up job so far.

Odd that you wouldn't accept the help of true patriots who are doing YOUR work, albeit through alternative channels.

You should just join the Lincoln Project and be done with it.

Q is legit.

Gonna have to bring more than emotional hyperbole and goofy proclamations to the table, Lurker.

“Lincoln Project”?

C’mon Bags. You’re slipping. Your insults used to be more creative. I think my last one was “Fagnatron”. I liked the Bagster that always toed the line between insanity and getting suspended.

You’re letting us down here...

Haha. 'Fagnatron' was a good one, wasn't it? I thought of that one all by myself. The proper response to that was 'Fagster'.

No, but advocating for going back to the sleepy days of pretending that elections and our voices meant something is to join the ranks of the fake conservative Lincoln Project kabuki 'conservatives'.

The proper term is now 'patriot' and Q people are the tip of the spear. I welcome all of you former 'conservatives' with open arms.

Obviously, the Deep State/dems GAIN from having Q out there.

“Cui boono?” is a phrase in use for hundreds of years.

“Who gains?” should always be asked.

Cross posted form alater thrad, my comments there:

“I belive it started as a hopeful LARP, then morphed into a money making ops. When it caught on bigtime, the dems set up an ops to feed them disinformation, and they ran with it.

“Trust Sessions!”
“Trust Wray!”
“The Midterms are safe!”

All disinformation to hurt Trump, and it worked. Millions got duped and didn’t push to get rid of the bad guys. And also sat on their hands in 2018 when the house flipped. Which was lost by less than 100,000 votes.

Think what would have happened if Q had instead said:

“Sessions needs to go!”
“Wray is Deep State saboteur!”
“Midterms will be close, get out the vote!”

Trump would still be there, and we’d still have the House. And that’s the truth.

Why they are still allowed to post their disinformation thread here 3x a week is beyond me. Donations, most likely. They bought their spot. “Pay to stay.””

Q Anon is probably some FBI/CIA flunky doing the Deep Swamp’s bidding.

“....If Q had been a legitimate insider posting secrets and plans, the anti-Q crackdown on social media would have occurred much, much earlier. ....”

I pointed this out from the very beginning of Q on this site. If Q was real, at various times claimed to be Trump, sourced to Trump's office with his approval & knowledge, Military Intel, etc. they would be in violation of numerous ethics policies, legal/security laws & policies. When I pointed this out it was dismissed with a wave of the hand saying “Trump is President he can do it ! He heads the executive branch !’ Yes he was President and at the top of he executive branch but he wasn't king ! And as the Trump administration played out we saw how responsive the executive branch was to Trump. Also when this started there was a crack down in the White House on leaks ! Then the claim was they're “authorized leaks” something which has the official legal legitimacy of being “slightly pregnant”. Yes politicians “leak” all the time but its not ethical or legal. The government usually does little about it. If the government does the “leaker” is on the wrong side of the “power’ or a very low level flunky like Reality Winter (I don't care to look up her real name!). Another thing that was going on that made this all highly highly unlikely was the Mueller investigation. If there was the slightest tenuous tie back to Trump, Mueller would have used it. Look what he did use! It was more laughable then Q ! Q supporters also dismissed the Mueller threat by claiming they are practicing INFOSEC, are cryptographically secure hence the Delphic-like Q utterances, hiding in the weeds etc. Remember this is from people who think the Intel community, etc is all powerful. If the IC was tasked to do it, “Q codes” would have been cracked in nanoseconds, locations of “Q” & if necessary supporting servers & web sites would have been found and issued a cease & desist or simply shut down ! Why didn't that happen because no one cared ! The only reason the USG cares now is because to the Biden administration its a useful bogeyman to hyperventilate about.

In summary, Q was likely a LARP that was taken over by some unsrcuplous people who monetized it. They taped into and took advantage of the great unrest & unease loyal Americans have about our current political culture. Trump became and now is the visible symbol of that unease but he didn't start it. It originally came together with the Tea Party movement which had no visible leader which was both a weakness & a strength. Weakness because its kind of directionless particulalry in regard to what are the first steps toward restoration. Strength because during Tea Party no leader for the enemay to focus on. Trump came along and provided a focal point for things to initiate in the right direction but he also became a target and we now see the results.

Anyway the war isn't over this is just one battle or campaign.
