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.

I’ll take a Q believer any day over a Marxism–Leninism–Maoism believer!

No, no, no. We're not Q BELIEVERS. We're Q FANATICS. Didn't you read the article?

There are too many conspiracy theories associated with Q-Anon...

There are conspiracy THEORIES and conspiracy FACTS.

Q (Trump) laid out conspiracy FACTS. Many rabbits (like you) were herded by the derp state into believing they are all THEORIES, which has come to mean 'false', 'fake', 'debunked', 'cray-cray', 'outrageous', etc.

Now, go find out how the term 'conspiracy theory' came to be a thing, and who was responsible for that.

This is an open book test. Your time starts NOW.

QAnon as such had its origin in a 4chan prank.

Wrong. Q had its origin years ago in the patriotic military intelligence community.

4chan/8chan/8kun is the medium.

Think, man. Ain't no prank about it. Where do you get your facts?

Become? They have been for decades.

Jeffrey Epstein. That would was the whole point of Q.

Epstein was a huge point of Q, but not the entire point. The Epstein operation was merely proof that the derp state exists and the measures it takes to recruit and protect itself. And Epstein is not the only one of those type of operations.

The derp state is a world-wide cabal, and has been for hundreds of years. They have their rituals and power structures, and they have infiltrated just about every organization and government across the globe.

Things like Epstein insure they hold onto their power.

This is bigger than we know.

I don’t know about National Q Followers so much………but our Local Chapter right here on FreeRepublic are more concerned with Joe Biden’s body double and when the lights are clicked on or off at the White House.

Are we really, Chase? Or are you just saying that?

“The Left are irrational children; just look at their actions.”

I’m afraid it’s worse than that. Children might some day grow up.

They started right off with a provable lie. No point in reading further.

I don’t believe that our Republic can be saved as long as the individual human beings who work in the media are allowed to continue working in the media.

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

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 (WAS) 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 took the liberty of identifying the actual kookery in your kookery post by bolding them.

The unbolded are either true or possibly true. Some blatanly so.

Because a very small number of 'fringe' people DISCUSS a topic, doesn't mean the majority believes it. But you would have it so.

You are a dull boy. And a male nurse.

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.

You don't believe in bloodlines? You don't believe the Rothschilds are 'the power behind the throne'?

You believe that, because the Roths and Soros are 'jewish', they cannot be evil and powerful? You believe that identifying the Roths and Soros as manipulators condems all 'jewish bankers'?

You are a naive, deceitful, and gullible rabbit.

How do I know this? You believe that missiles are helicopters.

I’m sure ceaser will be comforted to know all those senator knives sticking out of his back on March 15 March 44 BC will be comforted to know there is no such thing as a conspiracy.

You have an entirely twisted viewpoint!

You treat that weaponized phrase, so-called "conspiracy theories" as if using it is entirely justified and those so called out are indeed the whackos the phrase would paint them as being.

While it's theoretically possible someone's theory about a given event could contain any number of unsupported thoughts and ginned-up nonsense, one should just as quickly realize that a large number of government officials are liars and no-goods.

Rightly did HL Menken say, "“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, and intolerable.” Those in government are insane and intolerable and it only plays into their hands when a propagandized citizenry moves against the electorate to pretend it's The People that are somehow crazy.

The "conspiracy theory"-as-weapon epithet is acknowledged to derive from a 1967 C|A memo, to be used in the face of growing, accurate criticism of the JFK assassination and the Warren Commission Report's (9/24/64) nonsensical conclusions lies about it. E.g., the magic bullet.

Success with their push-back against informed citizens regarding the JFK assassination gave government movers and shakers the confidence to pull the wool over most everyone's eyes concerning ridiculous claims about the Apollo missions (as Alberta's Child rightly yet quietly noted above).

As one considers unvarnished history, one will be forced to concede by the weight of tremendous evidence that our government and its accomplices are regularly up to great mischief, cover-up, misinformation and outright lies about those activities, e.g., Trump-Russia collusion and 1/6 Trump "insurrectionists." The coup and insurrection has been on-going from the left, and the falsely-documented 44th President, now in his third term, is "leading from behind" with great swaths of it.

So please, don't play into the hands of the Left, using that term as if it rightly slaps at crazies that put forth real evidence and sound reasoning. It's a stone cold fact that many malefactors in our government have been willing to murder us by the thousands. With the plandemic, that's ramped up to the tens of thousands, and via boosters, perhaps hundreds of thousands if not millions.

If you can't yet see, dig in and get informed. FR is a good place to start, as there are many patriots here.

In other words: you conservatives don't bother to do anything - the professionals will handle it.

Oh contrare, mon frere.

'Q', anons, and even us lowly FR 'Qtards' are the reason you rabbits know half the sh*t you now know about the workings of the derp state and the silent war we are currently engaged in.

But you go on believing you woulda figured it all out on your own. You can't even figure out that Q is legit, ffs.
