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?

Thank you for that comment. you just made my day.

To be honest, I have pretty much disconnected from everything lately. I just can’t continue to listen to the same old talking points, even from fellow freepers. That’s why my conversation with you has been so enjoyable. Thanks again, and have a nice weekend.

“Do you think I’d believe Q was a thing if Trump said it wasn’t?”

Of course, like you maintained that Trump and Sessions had a psyop going on over the publicized feud. You posted to me that I “thought like a child” when I said that Trump actually did despise Sessions.

A Q clearance is a DOE thing. My Dad has one. Therefore, if, as claimed, this Q has a Q clearance, he cannot be an “intelligence officer”.

Please link the Q post that talked about the March 4th inauguration ceremony.

Wasn't it the one with the dots and dashes and brackets and initials that was "decoded" to indicate March 4th?

It's the Qtards, not Q, who come up with the zany kookery.

Tip of the spear stuff, that is.

The people having information is what they fear.

Having intel is one thing. ACTING on it for a SUSTAINED period of time is something completely different. And I'm not talking about ordnance.

For example, during the early pandemic days, Hollywood types posted condescending, tone-deaf pix and videos on social media....Geffen's yacht post, the "Imagine" singalong etc. It even got weird with the whole Wayfair $9,999 Ellen pillow saga.

A bigly number of citizens revolted, saying they were canceling entertainment. Then the studios went black and there was much rejoicing.

However, many conservatives, having been burned in the past, predicted that this info-dump didn't matter, that people would rejoin the Cult of Personality. I suspect, as well, the Cult leaders weren't worried because, well, the conservatives are correct. Pushing out information doesn't solely get it done. People STILL love Bill Clinton...they STILL watch The View and Whoppie "rape-rape" Polanski.

Then a funny thing happened. Ratings of award shows and football games started dropping. Then, they blinked...Advertisers balked at buying SB time, in part, because they feared backlash from normal people.

It doesn't require ordnance...as Buckley said, why does baloney reject the grinder?

The formula for whether or not any revelation has fangs, is time*action. If either of those factors diminish, so does fear.

Trump got more votes than any other candidate in the history of the world, including millions of 'cross-over' votes from people who had never even thought of voting Republican.

Our people took to the streets in numbers beyond imagining. People were awaken to human trafficking, voter fraud, the inner workings of the derp state, and the multitude of corruption world-wide.

Cui bono?

Ask yourself again.

p.s. Then ask yourself, if the derps gain from having Q 'out there', why doesn't Trump shut it down with one comment, like he easily could.

p.p.s. Please thinQ.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Are you saying that intelligence officers cannot have a Q clearance?

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.

If you're gonna quote yourself, take the time to clean up the quote. 'Believe' is a word, 'belive' is not. Ops, as you use it, stands for operations, the plural not the singular.

This is the kind of writing you get when you become too big for your britches.

“Midterms will be close, get out the vote!”

I dare you to go see what Q wrote about getting out the vote.

This is what you get when you just make up stuff to say.

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

Brilliant conspiracy theory, chock full of evidence, logic, and reason. But a conspiracy theory nonetheless.

Q messages stated that it is a team, less than ten, all but 3 are military. When Q messages are signed “Q+” instead of just “Q”, it is Trump himself.

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.

You are correct.

And people wonder why Q doesn't 'come right out with plain language'.

You have answered their question.

It originally came together with the Tea Party movement...

And here's the problem right here. Some of you codgers can't remove yourself from the past and make room for something new. Something new is what Trump attempted (is attempting), and its name is Q.

You blew your wad with the Tea Party and are antagonistic to anybody younger and/or trying new strategies. So much so that you have sabotaged Trump and his movement without even knowing it.

You are correct however, that this war continues as it has for decades.

It would be good if our forces could coalesce.

[They] need us divided. Divided we will fail.

Reily says Q was monetized.

Total lie. (plus other falsehoods)

“Q” doesn’t refer to Q clearance at the DOE, but to the Q Directorate of the NSA, the one responsible for counter-intelligence and cyber security.

You have me confused. I never would have said that because I never fully committed to either side of the 'trust Sessions controversy. Once again, you people just make up stuff to prove your ridiculous points.

You posted to me that I “thought like a child” when I said that Trump actually did despise Sessions.

I probly did say that one, because you do. I say that a lot to people who think like children. If you don't want to be accused of thinking like a child, stop attributing false quotes to people you're arguing with. Its a cheap rhetorical and child-like trick.

It's the Qtards, not Q, who come up with the zany kookery.

Finally, a truth teller has entered the fray.

You speak truth, bumpkin. Most, if not all, of the so-called 'Qookery' comes from actual kooks who take things too far.

They zig when they shoulda' zagged while down the rabbit hole.

The question ya gotta ask yourself when looking into things is, could this possibly be true?

Most of the time the answer is yes. Sometimes the answer is no.

I’m always particularly amused by those who refer to Q as a cult. If it is, it’s the worst version of a cult ever devised. Nobody knows who the leader is, they NEVER ask for money, and requests (in fact demands) that people do their own research and think for themselves.
