QAnon fanatics are rebranding their 'secret war.' And it's working.
NBC 'News' via MSN ^ | 7/18/21 | Mike Rothschild

Posted on 07/18/2021 5:14:32 AM PDT by Libloather

A few years into waiting for “the storm” to sweep away former President Donald Trump’s enemies, some believers in the prophetic QAnon conspiracy theory have decided to take matters into their own hands.

These “digital soldiers” aren’t picking up guns or marching on the Capitol - though many actually did that. Instead, nearly 100 Q-aligned candidates ran for Congress in the 2020 election, according to watchdog site Media Matters for America, with dozens of others running for governor, state legislature seats and county offices. Some were hardcore Q evangelists, while others had merely retweeted a QAnon hashtag. But all had shown some deference for a violent prophecy cult that was turning conspiracy theories into gospel.

Like so many of QAnon’s predictions, these candidates mostly failed. The majority didn’t get past their primary or ran in solidly Democratic districts and had no chance of victory. A few won at the state level, and constant media fixture Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has spouted QAnon-friendly conspiracy theories for years, won her deeply Republican congressional district in Georgia. But she was an outlier.

Post-2020, Q believers are once again gearing up to run for office and grow their movement, but with two major strategy changes. One is that Q believers are now getting involved in local elections for school boards and city councils and showing up at board meetings to scream about Q-linked topics. The other is that many of these candidates no longer identify as believers in QAnon - or even acknowledge that a movement with that name ever existed. They’re taking their “secret war” to new recruits looking to strike back against a way of life they feel is eroding - without the public acknowledgement that such a war exists.

Now your (sic) just flaming.. so FO.

Sometimes the truth feels very hot.

And there's no need to curse, Mister potty mouth. Sort of raw talk coming from one so easily offended by 'blashphemy', hey?

p.s. I choose not to 'FO', thankQ very much.

So... you think you have the truth is that right???

How about swinging this back to the original topic which you so self righteously decided to sidetrack by taking stabs at me instead of the Image I referred to.

How do YOU feel about an image where the lion looks up to a glowing Q saying “God Wins”. Who REALLY is God in that picture??? huh???

Again.. It don’t matter who made it.

It matters who defends it.. and you are the one here with shields up.

Its not idol worship, still less idle worship.
In fact, it’s not worship at all but insistence on accuracy.

It’d be like attributing Bill Clinton’s “I did not have sex with that woman” to Dementia Joe.

It’s not that you’re suddenly approving of affairs, but blaming someone who wasn’t excusing it.

...for the substance of your complaint, note that a lot of posters use a lion for Trump, not Jesus; so the picture shows Trump looking up at Q and the cross.

My complaint there is that (if as claimed early on) Q is military intelligence, the letter Q ought to be looking up at the lion...

That would also be very WRONG to do... and just as offensive.

>>> the letter Q ought to be looking up at the lion...

Thank you.

And I would say nobody would be more pleased than myself if Q was real and Trump were to be re-instated.

Unfortunately, too much evidence suggests otherwise.
The goal post has moved too many times, and Trump is on the WRONG side of the vaccine issue.

It amazes me how much of a pass Trump gets on that one... especially from Anons.

Does Jesus have a monopoly on lions? Thinking of the "us lions" scene from the first Narnia book.

lol.. YES... He does.

Who do you think the lion In the Narnia books represents?

Re: 126 - If you have facts to support your claim in your initial post, then please share. A cursory search yields theories, speculation, unnamed sources and the like.

My gut feel is to doubt claims made in the absence of facts or other evidence.

No, my dear dirty mouth hypocrite. I got my photon torpedoes armed, shields are unnecessary for the likes of you.

What does that meme mean to me, you ask? It means that Q is a Christian and espouses Christian ideals. Nothing more. You would know that if you read the Q posts.

But there's always one who wants to be HOLIER THAN THOU and virtue signal his outrage at perceived blasphemy or some other violation of Biblical laws. This faux 'outrage' is usually in the furtherance of an agenda. In your case, to 'delegitimize' Q.

And that would be YOU, goodman.

So, my complaint really has nothing to do with that meme, but with charlatans like YOU.

Narnia. Okay.

Over the trump years mostly because of his mane and his massive attitude he has been represented as a lion in many memes. I never associated those with him being Christ.

In my opine It’s a memeaphore.

I would like to point out the flaming Q which seems to be ignited by the glowing cross which no one seems to mention. Any thoughts on that?

Nowhere did Q mention ‘Jewish Bankers’, not one post ever was that terminology used.

House of Saud, Rothschild, Soros are not the same as the anti-Semitic sneers of ‘Jewish Bankers’.

Soros Budapest family were shamed to be Jews and he sympathized with Nazis against Jews, similar to Hitler.

There is very little Jewish DNA left in the present Rothschild family.

House of Saud has Jewish origins but like Rothschild they have mixed with non-Jewish lines for so long that it is ludicrous to commingle labels of ‘Jewish Bankers’ in with them.

In any event, Q never once mentioned ‘Jewish Bankers’.

The descriptor ‘Jewish Bankers’ is usually cast at ‘conspiracy theorists’ to denigrate and falsely label conservatives like those claiming Trump was robbed of the Election.

In Rachel Maddow’s diatribe about the Maricopa hearing the day before yesterday, she tried to falsely tie the Cyber Ninjas to conspiracy theorists who go on about “QAnon and Jewish Bankers.”

You’re in her category. Congratulations.

Rachel causes honorable Jews to hold their noses as they distance themselves from her. She gives Jews a bad name.

But the subject of this thread is QAnon” which doesn’t exist except in the utterings of the moribund dying media of the Left.

Repeat: QAnon does NOT exist.

So you don't remember the scene from The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.

The most pleased of the lot was the other Lion who kept running everywhere pretending to be very busy but really in order to say to everyone he met, "Did you hear what he said? Us Lions. That means him and me. Us Lions. That's what I like about Aslan. No sides, no stand-off-ishness. Us Lions. That meant him and me." At least he went on saying this until Aslan had loaded him up with three dwarves, one dryad, two rabbits, and a hedgehog. That steadied him a bit.

Surely you can't really be this dense.

Now you sound like Bagster, who is more interested in hurling insults to fan a flame than having any type of meaningful discussion.

The author of the Chronicle of Narnia intentionally made references to the Gospel while maintaining the category of fiction. This is common knowledge.

Returning those insults doesn’t seem to be helping matters.. so i’ll just leave you to your despicable lives.

You Qnuts are the biggest fools on this site. Just brain worms all the way through.

There is a reason that the Q influencers point people to the post aggregators, because sending them to the Chan boards would show what a scam Ron and Jim Watkins were running. The Q folder was literally above a furry porn board at one point,

What a joke

Q... or Trump... Neither could pull the trigger, and now we have Biden.

So I guess you did find an exception. Congrats.

What I did find is an Anti-Q, Anti-Trump, Anti-Patriot. And that all adds up to Anti-American derpsicle.

The funny part is, you probly fancy yourself a patriot. You people are more dangerous to this country than even stone cold democrats, because you are the enemy in the wire.

Congrats.

Saying a thing does not make it so. Especially when the words come out of the mouth of an ignorant slob.

Because that is where you can find Q posts and nothing but Q posts. Duh.

because sending them to the Chan boards would show what a scam Ron and Jim Watkins were running. The Q folder was literally above a furry porn board at one point,

Which has nothing at all to do with Q and their posts. But you know that. Maybe you were one of those trolls posting that garbage to distract from Q and so that you could later say what you just said?

What a joke.

Your mom's a joke.

'Meaningful' discussion seems to bounce off you like bullets off Underdog. What's the point?

Returning those insults doesn’t seem to be helping matters.. so i’ll just leave you to your despicable lives.

Fascinating. Within your lament about 'insults', you cast an abominable insult yourself.

I think they got a word for that.
