How did you think the media was going to cover this once they were forced to?

Consider the themes Q is pushing - the enemy of this drama are Trumps enemies, that they are traitorous swine of the worst sort, that the MSM is a propaganda system owned by them, and that Trump and team are trying to save us all from these devils.

That, regardless of whatever lies and exaggerations are embedded in the feed, is sound propaganda. If you can get people to listen to your propaganda then you are ahead. People begin to be persuaded, often, even by hearing an opinion they have never before encountered.

This is a cold civil war and it runs on propaganda.

The fakenewsers hating on Q certainly raises Q’s profile.

I do admit that the phrase “trust the plan” sets my teeth on edge. I trust God instead.

Exactly as they did.

And the ironic thing is, they are the very thing they condemn.

They are such ministries of misinformation, right out of 1984.

"Trump base latches onto ‘Q’ internet conspiracy cult"

That's what the Q foolery is for. It's an effort to associate us all with low-IQ, narcissistic foolery.

Does Self-Love or Self-Hate Predict Conspiracy Beliefs? Narcissism, Self-Esteem, and the Endorsement of Conspiracy Theories
SAGE Journals
Social and Personality Psychology Consortium

Aleksandra Cichocka, Marta Marchlewska, Agnieszka Golec de Zavala First Published November 13, 2015
Abstract
Across three studies, we examined the role of self-evaluation in predicting conspiracy beliefs. Previous research linked the endorsement of conspiracy theories to low self-esteem. We propose that conspiracy theories should rather be appealing to individuals with exaggerated feelings of self-love, such as narcissists, due to their paranoid tendencies. In Study 1, general conspiracist beliefs were predicted by high individual narcissism but low self-esteem. Study 2 demonstrated that these effects were differentially mediated by paranoid thoughts, and independent of the effects of collective narcissism. Individual narcissism predicted generalized conspiracist beliefs, regardless of the conspiracy theories implicating in-group or out-group members, while collective narcissism predicted belief in out-group but not in-group conspiracies. Study 3 replicated the effects of individual narcissism and self-esteem on the endorsement of various specific conspiracy theories and demonstrated that the negative effect of self-esteem was largely accounted for by the general negativity toward humans associated with low self-esteem.

This whole investigation isn’t about Russia, Russia, Russia...It’s about the Democrats covering their tracks, activating smoke screens and laying down slippery spots for their pursuers as they develop additional evasive maneuvers in their attempts to escape American justice. Voter fraud like we have never before seen or imagined is the only thing that makes sense anymore and it should be no surprise that Trump won anyway because now everybody knows that back then, we didn’t necessarily know how rigged the system really was.

Q has the same feel as the birth certificate talk early on.
Many FR members were convinced it was going to be the end of Obama.
In reality it was a story planted by the Hillary Team to distract the opposition.

Q is a distraction.

The only thing that is going to change the environment is charging someone in the FBI, CIA, DOJ, State Dept or Senate with Obstruction and eventually sending them to prison.

Frankly, the Opposition isn’t afraid of the GOP and won’t be until their is action.

I’m seeing too many of these stories to discount the idea that Q is broaching something these folks are scared to death of becoming public knowledge.

I have no informed opinion as of yet, but...

I seem to remember something similar to Q back in the Clinton corrupt administration days. Would love to know if any oldtimers remember that?

The whole scenario reminds me of a faux-reality show called SIBERIA that NBC aired a few years ago. NBC was very careful in their promotions to NOT reveal this new reality show was FAKE. - More accurately - it was a dramatic mini-series under the guise of a Survivor-style reality show.

Well, they fooled me! It wasn’t until toward the end of the first episode that you realized - holy crap - this is a drama!!!

The show was tremendously well written. And after every episode you were left scratching your head - and heading for the internet to do some research on what we just saw - and what might be coming next.

It was a blast - I have FB friends to this day who were just random people who were analyzing the show.

Point is - fiction can be tied to reality very easily. All the references in this fictional show - were real...real history, real science - driving the plot of a FAKE show.

Be careful.

How? Exactly as they are covering Q now and that’s only because they can’t cover Q up altogether.

Personally, I love the responses here about Q and all that’s been breadcrumbed so far.

After all these years, beers and tears, the replies now by most of the usual suspects here just make me laugh, which is much better than what they’ve inspired in me before now.

To those of which I speak, the truth is out there, but it’s not that far out. Go read it and see.
