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.

“ No, but your unfunny ‘Jewish mockery’ lets me know where you stand on ‘the Jews’. You really need to stick to passing out band-aids and emptying bedpans, Chase. This international intrigue stuff is a might too big for your male nurse’s brain pan.”
—————————————————————————————

Ummmmm………My wife is Jewish. In fact she was Orthodox and their house kept Kosher when this very Conservative Catholic boy met her.

So using a Yiddish phrase is Mockery??
Oh, wait, you’re a Californian……forgot how easily offend y’all can get.

So according to Jewish Law, my daughters are also Jewish. And, every kid they pop out is also Jewish.

In my house we Pray the Sabbath every Friday at sundown, we obey dietary laws but do not eat Kosher meat because there isn’t a Kosher butcher in the area. No pork, no dairy with meat, etc.

Perhaps you wouldn’t shoot yourself in the foot if you weren’t so fast to criticize…….??

Come on, folks. Grow up. Knock off the name calling and insults.

Act like adults. Doing otherwise just leads to a poor Signal-to-Noise ratio and the thread quality degrades as well.

And you're part black...blah, blah, blah.

Looks like you got all the bases covered, Chase. You're free to mock just about any old body and you got immunity, right?

It don't work that way, Doctor Detroit, male nurse.

I suspect you may claim to find that an inadequate answer at this time, but it'll just have to do for here and now

You would suspect correctly. You made a claim previously and the first paragraph of your post explains why you can’t provide information to substantiate your claim. In other words, you were jackassin’ (see Grapes of Wrath, Pa Joad speaking to the ragged man for a definition of that term).

As to the rest of your post - good luck to ‘ya.

You seem to be a derisive sort, who doesn’t bring anything good or useful to the party. That I think I “suspect correctly,” too.

I’m content that people here might read your comments and mine and come to their own conclusions about who goes after supporting evidence and deals more forthrightly with facts and reasoning.

Don’t let the screen door door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya! (...which is to say, “Bye!”)

Fair enough. I do challenge posters when they make claims, then can’t back them up.

Using a Yiddish phrase is as much a mockery as wearing green on St. Patrick’s Day.

In other words………it isn’t.

However, you mock people all day long. Not ethnically but for what the know, think or believe.

I’m not Hispanic, Italian, or Canadian………but I do have issues with Canucks.

>>> Because it chips away at the ONLY possible way we can overcome the derp state and restore this country.

Listen to yourself... Trump is our only hope? Who do you really have faith in? Could not God raise up another out of nowhere to fill his shoes???

How do you know the restoration of this country is even part of GOD’s plan?

Are you forgetting what is prophesied to take place in the book of Revelation? Where is the USA in that story?

>>> You give aid and comfort to the enemy and keep patriots on our side from joining the fight.

What fight??? What are these Q patriots actually doing different than those patriots who believe Q was a deep state psy-op? Both are still trying to get rinos out of office, and patriots in... but beyond that, what fight is there???
Do you get some kind of special award if you turn out to be right because you read all your Q posts and KNEW that Trump and Q were going to sweep in and save the day???

No... the real battle here is for the souls of those who have not yet placed their faith in Jesus. The age of Grace is almost over and ONLY those who believe in Him will escape what is about to come upon the earth...

and when I see a picture of a Lion (representing Jesus) looking up to a letter representing man, I see deception.... and that was my point and ANSWER to the person who posted that image asking the question “what is wrong with this message?”. (btw i dont’ think he even responded)
I see “Q” as not only a distraction from what Biden (deep state) is doing, but as a distraction from Jesus Himself, and the coming judgment upon the earth.

>>> But now you’re revealing yourself as an anti-Trumper

I’m not quite there yet.... I can still see a SLIM possibility that he is still God’s annointed and not done with office yet... but he better come clean on the vaccine issue soon, or it won’t matter... because he is vulnerable as hell on it.

>>> Trump and Q are a team. And a work in progress.

Work in progress????

WTF does that mean???

GEEZ!!!... there’s either a plan, or there is NOT a plan!

Now we are down to “Work in Progress”???

Really???

Wake the hell up man.

The Lion is about to ROAR!

Rex, I haven’t trusted the media for decades. My husband & I always referred to Uncle Walter as The Most Rusted Man in America.

The meme “Anyone got any new conspiracy theories....” is to be heard as a plaintive lament. I _wish_ they were still theories, but, “they turned out to be true.”

I believe there were multiple shooters wrt JFK. More than 2. Shooters deployed everywhere because the bastards could not afford to miss.

I’m “coming around” on 9-11....lots of evidence for a facilitated attack, maybe 2 steps away from a total FF. (YMMV). Some knowledgeable military and demolition types are still working on me about that.

As a long time science fiction/space buff, I keep hoping the moon landing was real. So, I’m sort of hanging on to that one, for now. So much else has been proven to be false, I guess I won’t be surprised. Saddened, but not surprised.

I’ll defer to your expertise, since I have none in those fields. I appreciate your post. I am one of those who says, “See?? I told you Alex Jones was right!”

I tend to take in a lot of information, check it out over time and adjust accordingly. The depths of deception really have no limits, from what I’ve learned to date.

you're the guy that believes Marjorie Taylor Greene should be punished in some way because she posted a theory about the wild fires in California a while back. You said,
"her (Greene) rabidly antisemitic FB post, but the damage was already done in the eyes of many people. Her actions since then haven't helped either. Now I cringe every time I see her name in the news."

the "rabidly antisemitic FB post" made a reference to the Rothschild. I asked you how a refrence to a family that has done some very bad things over the years is in your words "antisemitic"

Given you can't or will not answered that question. I will ask you another question.
Who won the presidential election of 2020?

***There is a rational explanation of the so-called missile launch. Q-anons are just too dumb to believe it***

The video in the story you link to has been edited. Immediately after the Skunk Bay video was released I made copies and did extensive study. I am familiar with the entire sequence, studied it over and over.

Notice that the linked video never shows the 'rising light' to the left of the screen. Just prior to the video ending there is a 'flash' in the night video. Bear in mind that the action appears faster in the video than actual life because it is time lapse still pictures; shown in sequence it appears as motion video.

The video begins with a darkening sky. Vehicle traffic on Whidbey Island is seen, predominately traveling from screen right to screen left; in one pass the red streak of tail lights can be detected. One such pass is brighter and faster than the others but is still a vehicle passage from right of screen to left. Following that the screen grows quite dark.

Suddenly there is a flash that blanks out the video. Then an extremely bright light, not on the same level as the road traffic, passes from the left side of the screen to the right. That is the helicopter mentioned in the story. The pilots admitted later that they left their search beam, aimed downward, on during the pass transversing the island.

Where the deception occurs in the posted video is that the picture stops after the helicopter completes its crossing. Had the video continued, there would have been some brightening of the sky, first moderately directly behind Whidbey Island and then increasingly on the far left of the frame. That increasingly bright light then erupts into a vertical streak, and the video shows the missile at the top of that vertical streak. (Again, bear in mind that the video is not continuous action but a sequential composite of time delay still photographs.)

The video frame showing the missile atop its rocket plume is not ambiguous. The Skunk Bay camera (high resolution) just caught it as it rises out of frame. The flash is presumed by most analysts to be lightning. As to the launch source of the missile, it is most likely a rogue submarine - certainly an unidentified sub of unknown origin, hopefully not of some hostile nation. The position of the sub, looking at Puget Sound and Whidbey Island, would have made it vulnerable to being blocked from escaping to the ocean unless it was a fast moving boat with good navigational gear.

As to the ownership of the 'rogue' sub, that subject is probably best left unregarded. I have seen a picture of an unidentified sub purported to be in the area, but the validity of the photograph is not established.

It is unfortunate that the video posted on The Drive website, author Tyler Rogoway, is truncated to exclude the most important segment of the activity. I would have to presume that the purpose of the deception is to establish in the reader's mind that the passage of the helicopter across the frame with its bright search light on explains the whole night's episode.

It does not!
