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.

What makes you think that? They’d have to point the camera at themselves.

“ Because Davey trust the media.
They wouldn’t lie about something like this.
He gets all his “QAnon” info from the legacy US media corp.”
—————————————————————————————

Here are some of the topics discussed here on the FreeRepublic Q-Thread.

I know Cletus, it’s embarrassing, but you can’t distance yourself from this stuff by attacking me.

Secret tunnels full of sex dungeons, sex pits out back of a concrete plant in Arizona, Secret pedo jewelry worn by folks you don’t like, massive expansion at GITMO, prison barges, military tribunals, thousands of “sealed indictments”, JFK Jr. alive, Barron Trump a time traveller, “Rods From God”, bad guys shooting missiles at Air Force One, Medical tents in Central Park used to conceal the removal of mole children from the sewers and taken to safety on hospital ships, Biden is a body double, Biden isn’t in the White House, Trump will be back in charge soon, Hillary is wearing an ankle monitor, Biden has been arrested, the inauguration was fake, the white house is a sound stage, somebody turns out the white house lights too early, Biden’s ear lobes are wrong, his eyes are the wrong color, he’s flying around in the wrong plane, Pizzagate is real and the Podesta brothers ate up little Maddy McCann, Adrenochrome Harvesting is real, Michelle Obama is a dude, McCain was assassinated, Barbara Bush is the daughter of Alister Crowley, Tom Hanks is a pedophile because of a facial expression he made at an award show, the snow in Texas was made of viruses, wouldn’t melt and turned black when burned

I don’t know about Q, but since the 70’s we’ve had a small group of lying utopianists who split left and right to subvert both parties and try to drag the rest of us into their legalized prostitution, defunded police, government you could drown in a bathtub, LGBTQ etc etc alphabet people, marriages to goats and chickens, legalized drugs, no more law except for contract law, pedophilia, legalized slavery, depopulation via anti-vaccination, batshit crazy bull crap death cult nonsense.

All that one needs to do to be an Anon is to enter the one and only platform where Q writes posts and make a comment or ask a question. The vast majority of comments and questions are never addressed by the Q group., only a select few.

What the State media do is pose as an Anon Troll and post say Jewish Banker garbage, then label and brand all Anons as Nazis, then mash the falsely described Anons with Q to form a state media meme called ‘QAnon’.

The only problem with your dopey theory is that Q itself posted about "Bloodlines" very early on (November 2017) and encouraged all the "Jewish banker garbage", that you're now complaining about.

Face it son...you got played, and it wasn't like we didn't try to warn you.

NBC condemning it as a conspiracy theory fives Q credibility.

Before the election, over 1,000 articles/reports came out claiming the same thing.

Gee I missed a few
Missed these “claims” !

1. Sex pits out back of a concrete plant in Arizona,
2. Secret pedo jewelry worn by folks you don’t like,
3. Barron Trump a time traveller,
4. Medical tents in Central Park used to conceal the removal of mole children from the sewers and taken to safety on hospital ships, (What are “mole children” ?)
4. Podesta brothers ate up little Maddy McCann,
5. Barbara Bush is the daughter of Alister Crowley,
6. Tom Hanks is a pedophile because of a facial expression he made at an award show,
7. The snow in Texas was made of viruses, wouldn’t melt and turned black when burned.

Here I was still waiting for Jeff Sessions to ride in and execute the 37th dimensional plan.

Hey what happen to Huber and his “million sealed indictments” ?

skeptics gonna skeptic.

I open the local newspaper and read about all sorts of crazy shit, too.
The election was secure and transparent.
A head slapper there.
Oh, and the COVID-19 vaccine is safe and viable.
Now, that’s some top-notch conspiracy shit right there.

OTOH, that is quite the handy compendium of topics; like you’ve keeping track somewhere.
Look over that list and tell me how many have been confirmed.
I can see numerous ones and...only one brings your credibility to zero and your personality to “petty”.

Name one.

If the media could have
They would have.

They can’t
So they didn’t.

Name one.

Exactly. Not a single arrest of a single person in D.C. netted a gun.

Not one.

I'm not a "Q" fan or follower, the smear job here though is really something. Clearly the media subscribes to the Goebbels method: tell a big enough lie long enough and eventually the people believe it.

If we lose the election, it will be down to too many conspiracy theories destroying our credibility with the voters.

Cuz we all know, cuz the media and ilk tell us so,

There is no such thing as voter and election fraud.

Funny how the commies both deny then embrace ‘ conspiracy’

isn’t it ?

Actually that list was posted on another thread by Humblegunner to explain how the anti-vaxxers and their wild claims can’t even compare to the madness of the Q followers.

The list doesn’t even touch the surface of insanity though.

The greatest evil of "Q" was its attempt to convince conservatives that Federal law enforcement and the military were still filled with white hat good guys who were going to ride to the rescue and take out the evildoers, as long as everyone "trusted the plan". In other words: you conservatives don't bother to do anything - the professionals will handle it.

As perfect a recipe to enable the massive 2020 vote fraud as the Left could possibly have devised.

One of these days, NBC will get around to reporting on the socialists.

All they'd need is a mirror.
