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?

I’d rather not waste my time on that. Whether or not the entity now known as “Q” ever used that “adrenochrome” not, it appears to be a widespread belief among Q followers and has been for years, including some here at FR.

If “Q” does not subscribe to the whole adrenochrome thing, why has he not “dropped” anything about it being a false theory.

Oh, that’s right. “Q” says disinformation is necessary. Easy out for when his predictions fall flat.

““Tip top” and “tippy top” are phrases Trump has often said.”

Yes, you are correct. But as Easy Street pointed out, the timing on drops within seconds of Trump’s tweets, along with the photos I mentioned earlier, as well as photos from inside the Oval Office (in some cases with Trump’s watch on the desk) are convincing (at least to me).

These photos?

And how hard was it for this Q to “drop” just before a Trump tweet, seeing as how Trump was a frequent tweeter and a probable pattern to the timing of his tweets could be discerned (with or without his use of timed auto tweet scheduling)?

Not trying to convince you. I know that cannot be done. And, for the record, I do not think Q followers are stupid.

... "QAnon" is the new Michigan militia, the new Vast, Right Wing Conspiracy, a useful/convenient construct to tar the regime's entire opposition as dangerous domestic terrorists.

Bingo. You've got it,

Re: 246

Clarification - I only call someone out (using that phrase), if they are repeat posters of making claims and not providing links, sources, or citations. Agreed with you, polite requests are the way to go, until it becomes apparent that posters are posting in bad faith.

Re: Q (and Q threads) - people should leave posters to those threads be. The threads give FReepers a chance to exchange ideas and research on various topics. When I checked out some Q threads a few years ago for a few weeks, I found the posters polite. After reading for those two weeks, I decided it was not for me and did not read further. But people going to those threads to be disruptors should be called out for that behavior.

Why would Trump call attention to, or denounce, a political hoax created by the Political Left?


Prove it. If you honestly believe that there is no harm in your enemy pretending to be you, then send me your contact list.

Also, why do you keep saying that 95% number. Prove that too.

As far as the timing is concerned, it might be possible to discern a pattern, but not to within a few seconds dozens of times. And no, not those photos.

Yes, I know. That’s why I mentioned it. There were posts on (I think) 4chan asking him to say those words. I wondered if it was a take off on ‘tippy top secret’ that some used to say. BTW I like your screen name.

The Q operation seemed to me to be a PSYOPs. Possibly a military type PSYOPs. The purpose seemed to me, to be to improve morale of those supporting DJT and keep them from giving up. It also seemed to ask questions to get people to research and determine the answers to those questions for themselves. To determine the real story behind the crap going on in the world in general and the USA in particular.

That seems so obvious and seemed obvious from the very beginning. Yes, it was a way of getting information out and topics raised. Even more important - it let the bad guys know that Trump was aware of their dirty deeds. He taunted them with the evidence. It scared the hell out of them.

Late to the thread, but here’s my two cents:

The Lame Stream Media likes to define ALL Trump Supporting conservatives as Q Anon conspiracy kooks. Not very long ago they defined us as the alt-right. Before that it was neo-cons.

Labels. That’s all this is. Just a label, an insult, to define conservatives.

Democrats and their media mouthpieces can’t defend their ideas, so they smear and caricature and maliciously malign those holding dissenting views with oversimplifying labels as a means to shutdown debate altogether. In essence, they are CRAVEN COWARDS.

The Proofs on the morning of January 20 are pretty convincing for me.

Not only was there a 21-gun 3-sec-pause salute at Andrews, while Bidan got 7 guns with 9-sec-pause in a cemetery, there was an interesting number of flags for the podium. This snapshot is taken from the C-Span video of the event, probably still viewable on C-Span and youtube.

RE #5.

The only psy ops going on is what we are doing to ourselves. Just look at this thread.

said, "I continue to be baffled why Free Republic allows these people space on this site"

Let me help you understand why.
You witnessed 2020 election. You understand Trump Won this election by a lot in his word?(yes)

Did Trump win 2016 by receiving more votes then they cheated?(yes)
We know before reporting their figures from Germany they know the figure before they sent it to news medias.
How did he win in 2016?
A mistake by the Deep state?

You give me one logical answer to "How did Trump win in 2016?."
I will explain why Q is allowed on this server.

Considering Trump tweeted over 25,000 times during his presidency alone, I am surprised Q only managed to “drop” within seconds only “dozens of times”! What are the odds? I really would have expected way more, even if Q drops were just randomly timed.

Thanks and +1 too.

The responses you got are typical of what happens on conspiracy threads. Those who know what they are talking about (or for me, try to make a half informed argument) either get ignored, abused or both. Over the last few months I have wondered what happened to the site that took down Dan Rather.
