From Trolling To Fleecing: Co-Creator Of ‘Q’ Hoax Explains Its Scary Evolution
The Federalist ^ | October 29, 2018 | Georgi Boorman

Posted on 10/29/2018 8:37:17 AM PDT by detective

A little less than a year after the first QAnon post, which has since led hundreds of thousands of news junkies down a conspiracy rabbit hole, news correspondent Jack Posobiec from One America News Network spoke with one of the co-originators of the “Q” persona who runs a group of individuals posing as a high-level government intelligence officer. On an anonymous “free speech” platform called 8Chan, they leave thousands of riddles, “clues,” odd questions, and cryptic lines as bread crumbs for their followers to help them in their search for truth.

Many major media outlets have overviewed the nest of conspiracy theories nurtured within Q followers. While many have speculated about who is behind Q and how it came to exist, thanks to Posobiec’s extensive research and the confession of a co-creator who goes by the pseudonym “Microchip,” we now know, with a high degree of certainty, the real origin story of QAnon.

Tick tock Q...

Just so you realize that when you say "Tick tock Q" you're really saying "Tick tock Trump".

Right?

He is the President, after all. Q is not.

I’m not into the whole Q thing but I know things like that can be fun.

Ok thanks.

This is about as much time as I want to waste on this nonsense, as it has been shown upthread and down that “Q” has made predictions that didn’t come through. Even the links you provide show that, but somehow it’s still unreasonable to believe “Q” is just conspiracy nut crap for those who love such juice?

At any rate, I went to the site that apparently was altered in the log, with a time stamp of 9/14/17 but the website dated 9/16 (again apparently). This one : https://brietbart.com/2017/09/16/hungary-builds-a-wall-cuts-illegal-immigration-by-over-99-percent

I don’t know about anyone else, but I can’t get that site to show at all. On Edge, for my phone, it says I’m not connected to the Internet when I try to copy and paste that into the browser (I originally typed it in transcribing it from the screenshot). But I’m obviously connnected as I’m posting this now!

In Safari, for my phone, it says “This domain is currently not approved for CashParking”. What the H-E-double hockey sticks does *that* mean?!?

So I quit with this nonsense. How do I even know that screenshot is an accurate one of the chat log? How do I know that was what Probisec claims “proves” Q is this “Microchip”? Where’s the OANN report using that screenshot? I can’t find it in any link anywhere.

I quit with this nonsense. It all, the “debunking” and the defenders all sound like my next door neighbor who believed he was Jesus Christ, and that the government was about to drop nuclear bombs on everyone. He was claiming I was a CIA spy too, before being dragged off to the funny farm.

Got a lot more important stuff going on than to worry about some Internet phantom.

Q did not post the arrest. the post 147005381 was a RESPONSE to the arrest post.

If Hillary is not brought to justice, Q is not just a liar (Larp), the whole system is a great way to find all the true patriots who are smart enough to use an anonymous posting board and VPN and then get rid of them. Replacements are walking here from South America as we speak.

The swamp creatures don’t like intelligence or critical thinking (dumbing down schools-putting fear into college students to be afraid of disagreeing openly) so they import ignorant slaves.

"Just so you realize that when you say "Tick tock Q" you're really saying "Tick tock Trump"."

No, actually, I am not convinced that Q is related to Trump. Q keeps listing fired feds as proof of Q...but Trump doesn't need Q to fire people.

Arrests alone will prove Q, and I really truly hope they come.

Q is either what he claims, or is a divide and conquer op that will destroy the credibility of patriots that trusted him if arrests never come. The deep state pattern has been the same forever...Tough talk, long delays, massive siappointment. Warren Commission, Starr Investigation, 911 report. Same as Q so far... Tough talk, long delays...only arrests will prove otherwise. Kavanuagh now seated, midterms next week. Patience gone. Handcuffs now!

If you don’t like the thread just get off of it and quit acting like Jim Jones, obsessing over people who aren’t drinking the Kool-Aid.

the Q researchers are just finding connections to the deep state and reporting. They share information like here at Free Republic.

If you want to drain the swamp how would you do it. If you want to really stop the international drug and human trafficking how do you stop it?

This is a very valid point....and DOES seem like the kind of thing "Twitter Trump" would do. The proof will be in the arrests or lack thereof. So far we only have a LACK thereof and a sharply divided group of patriots at each other's throats.

You seem to know a great deal about “Q”.

I am sorry you had to endure some personal insults but I’ve seen a lot worse.

Please, tell me what “Q” has done that is valuable and what we should expect from “Q” in the future.

Thanks.

Why it's simple. I would speak in codes #14432 and obscure messages designed to fool and trick people.

Trust the plan.

The anons are not doing the draining. They are simply gathering info. They want arrests as much as any Trump supporter.

If there are no arrests Q is not just a Larp, Q is the deep state.

people expected too much from the entity called Q....

he is a watcher, a reporter, one who reveals inside info........

I never thought he himself could produce results....

we all hoped that the Brennan/Mccabe/Comey brigade would be banished, and they have but what remains is just as horrendous.....mule and Rr ....

Q definately intimidated that RR would be gone by the middle of Sept....

he is not....

the only problem with the "plan" was and is Sessions.......I believe that trust was put on him and its turned out to be unwarranted.....

LORD I HOPE I AM WRONG ABOUT SESSIONS....

Then we disagree.

but Trump doesn't need Q to fire people.

No, he absolutely does not. So why do you need arrests to prove Q if that is the case? The logic doesn't stand up.

Just remember, this is Trump's timetable, not Q's. Don't make Q out to be some kind of mystical warrior that's gonna run out and arrest people himself.

Q represents Trump, military intelligence, the NSA, and the President's inner circle, Generals, the loyal military, and we, patriotic Americans.

He is not just words on an 8chan post. There is reality behind it. Real people, and ultimately Trump himself. And behind Trump is us.

I know you don't want to hear the word "patience", but patience. All good things come to those who wait.

With all due respect.

I love the thread, actually. It's nice to be able to converse on this topic and attempt to convince those who are as yet unconvinced. This actually is quite important, you see.

I'm not obsessing, really. Just talking. Don't you wanna talk?

What do you mean when you talk about Jim Jones and Kool-Aid?

Tell us what you know.

I'd love to, if I could find the time. But it took me almost a years worth of reading, research, discussion, arguing, listening, observing, and before that a lifetime of the same but without the clarity of vision that Q provides.

There is no possible way I could tell you what I know, or think I know.

You are invited to join the Q thread to learn more, or for a condensed easy to read partial version of what I know (I starte late), go to the Q thread and in the header click the link to THE ORACLE by Bagster. There you will find summaries of many Q drops, their discussion, and some possible conclusions.

Some find those helpful. There are other helpful links on the thread as well.

It takes time and some commitment, but education often does, no?
