“Q was never going to save us. We have to do it ourselves — but that requires trustworthy leadership.”

I totally agree. I saw Q wording everything in the form of questions, to help us start differentiating facts from fiction, which encouraged me to do my own research and discovering the truth. And there is nothing wrong with doing that.

I suppose I was in a similar boat.

We were camping one day and a limo drove past our campsite. My dad talked to the driver. He was driving members of the John Birch Society to one of their enclaves. My dad was a libtard and made a big deal about how much he disliked JBS and all that bullshiite. He never could explain why he was a libtard, what his basis reasoning was.

On his deathbed, I asked him: “When I was younger you made a big deal about politics. Now you don’t do that any more, why? “ His answer: “It turns out, it’s not that important.”

Maybe enjoying Gilligan’s Island is more important, but I kinda doubt it. Ecclesiastes holds the clue.

Here on FR, they attained some kind of ‘protected’ status. On Inauguration Day, they had a ~Q thread going that just plain provoked and trolled those of us who had been holding our tongues or ignoring them. If ever there was a day for them to STFU and acknowledge that the Q stuff was bullshiite, it was Inauguration Day. But I got a timeout from FR for opposing their nonsense.

Oh wait, Qtards don’t like facts.
***What makes me ill is how the Qtards accuse others of being NeverTrumpers just because we disagree with their Qoqamamie nonsense. Buncha cheerbullyeaders.

I get the idea of letting them have one particular thread where they can post their stuff without it devolving into what would have been a constant battle over Q itself.

As far as I can tell, there was no prohibition on starting a separate thread critical of Q.

Whatever the intentions of whomever started it, it ended up serving the interests of the Left.

That kind of info is useful for these threads that ‘discuss’ Q but don’t have that same ‘protection’ as ~Q threads.

That works for me except for Christianity. The more I looked into it, the more there was moral genius there.

It helped when I realized that even the enemies of Christ at the time acknowledged that He died for mere words, for blasphemy, for claiming to be equal to God Himself.

It’s not like those organizations weren’t taken over and the old leaders left as well.

First sentence of the piece is incorrect. The drops were NEVER assigned to anyone called “Qanon”. Never.

The Q posts were NOT meant to be “predictions” per se, but rather as “markers"--->"Bullshiite".

A purposely disregard of the intelligence nature of the source, and the rationale for conveying knowledge while being cryptic--->Full of baloney.

Whatever Q is/was, what was done caught the attention of a LOT of people here and around the world and gave us all fresh reasons to look behind the facades we’ve grown accustomed to for what we aren’t supposed to see.

Well, given how Q was demonstrably wrong about so many things, doesn't mean that Q itself was simply another facade? A false trail may still be a trail, but it's worse than useless when it leads you in the wrong direction.

It is entirely possible -- even common -- for people to be highly skeptical of both the crap coming out of Washington and the entire Q phenomenon.

Note, the place to personally denegrate Q is OUTSIDE these threads.
***Because you Qtards can’t defend yourselves even on your own threads. That’s acceptable, as long as you PUBLISH that up front at the beginning of the thread. Qtards are basically wusses.

Q is a leftist operative lulling us all into a false sense of security,
***I think originally it was a group of conservative friends but they were easily circumvented by deepstate Liberals because the Qtards preferred to remain in the shadows. End result: Liberal agenda was pushed, conservative agenda was discredited.

The letter Q should never be connected to the 4 letters of ANON.
***Reasonably good point. The letter Q should be connected to the word ‘Bullshiite’ when accessing those threads.

“The last book in the series reveals that Hari Seldon did not invent psychohistory, it was planted in his mind by R. Daneel Olivaw, a sentient robot, already at that time thousands of years old. A robot that was on a mission to ‘save humanity’, using his internalized “Zeroth Law””

Fair enough, but to reiterate the entire series was fictional, while Q is (by obvious definition) real. But again, the comparison was for a matter of illustration, not a matter of direct comparison to the fictional outcome. Dan Scavino, whom I believe to be the main conduit for Q, if not the outright editor, has his hands on many of the inside baseball happenings.

And frankly, there is too much going on behind the scenes to be coincidental. China would already be in Taiwan, Iran and Palestinean elements have taken over Israel, and North Korea (actually, Xi’s puppet military aggressor) already have threatened Japan / S. Korea with plenty of actual nukes, rather than annoying but harmless airspace breaches.

I’ll give one fer’instance: WHY is General Michael Flynn’s brother, General Charles Flynn, still in command of the Pacific Theater that oversees Chinese and eastern Russian aggression? That should have been an easy drop for an administration in complete control.

If you keep throwing spaghetti against the wall, eventually some of it will stick.

But for those of us who are looking at the wall, we look in askance at your methodology. What we see and hear is mostly bullshiite. I wouldn’t feed breakfast eggs mixed with bullshiite to my children. You qtards should be ashamed of yourselves.
