From Trolling To Fleecing: Co-Creator Of ‘Q’ Hoax Explains Its Scary Evolution
The Federalist ^ | 10/30/2018 | Georgi Boorman

Posted on 10/30/2018 10:33:15 PM PDT by Simon Foxx

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.

I don’t have a problem if others like Q. It just does nothing for me. And it’s not like I didn’t try.

Not so, paisa, not so.

We of the Q tribe, knew months before what was going on in Korea. I watched with my own eyes in real time as the media and FreeRepublic finally learned that Trump and his people had been meeting with Rocket man in China well after the deal was done. The official meeting was a formality.

We knew the deal was agreed to well before you did, with all due respect. Not criticizing, but its just a fact.

The only place you would have been able to learn that would have been from the Q discussion, and you didn't take part or listen to us.

And that's just one example. I know you think we think we're smarter than everybody and we have special knowledge. I've heard that stuff bandied about all over FR for months and months.

We aren't smarter than anybody. We just are following an information flow and discussing it with other smart people who are working VERY hard to track down information and tie it together. That does result in knowledge and very well informed guesses.

It's actually a real thing, and very beneficial. Everybody wants predictions and simple one sentence answers. But this isn't that type of thing. Really its not.

I'd love for EVERBODY here to take part. There's a lot of good brain power we could use. And the more people that know a thing, the faster it can get spread. Trump is trying to gain critical mass popular support through this communication channel for some very controversial actions they have planned in the future.

That's the why of Q in the first place. And informed and supportive population, detached from the deep state media's manipulations. Isn't that what we've all wanted for so long?

It's finally happening.

Get on board.

With all due respect.

You didn’t need Q to show you any of that. If you just read regular posts on FR you get all that.

That's not true. You've made an assumotion here without doing your research on Q. It's bigger than that - especially when you know how to understand the comms. Point me to a MSM article that reported that The English have been cut off from FiveEyes NSA servers. Did you even know what FiveEyes is? I didn't without Q. Did you know about the clown Snow White and Dwarves servers being disabled? Did you know about the satellites used by Deep State that have been disabled? Did The Federalist tell you any that? I don't think so. The point is you have to understand the comms. I'm not sure even the brightest of the autists understand it yet, but we are all trying.

“””I’ll add that I am a believer and attend church every Sunday unless — I had the flu in 2018 or something like that.

If Q has something to say, say it. No need for all the clutter. Again, after trying to read multiple posts, I got nothing out of it other than reading what I already knew or highly predictable outcomes.”

So you’ll be praying for the Q folks and the lost Left?

Because you personally gain nothing from it then everyone else must believe as you do even though they do understand and gain something from it?

The Q movement is tasked in educating the MSM deluded people into recognizing how they’ve been duped and then grow and energize the base of voters to get to the polls and vote Demons out of power and increase Trump’s support in Congress.

Wittingly or not, your comments work against that happening.

In addition some anon’s thoughts:

“Our job in its beautiful simplicity is to communicate it to our friends and families. Q has made this crystal clear.
The code is not complicated, because the target audience is YOU the worker, the family, the wonderful soul that you are.
Your Great Awakening is our Great Awakening. We’re in this together and there’s no stopping our tidal wave of Truth. We’re not doing this to start something, we’re here to ease the chaos that’s about to erupt.”

“This is what a swamp draining looks like.

Without violating the very laws that are being brought back into full power today, Q drops clues about whats going on in the silent war against the seemingly entrenched evil few who strangled our world through unimaginable means. The FBI has been gutted, the CIA has been shattered, and the DOJ cleansed of those who stood in the way of our Freedom. Who’s next? Lets find out.”

Okay, if Q reaches people that are clueless and helps guide them to truth, I would certainly not have a problem with that. I know there are a lot of clueless folks out there that rely on nothing but the mainstream media. Does Q really reach many not on sites like FR?

Personally, I read FR regularly and I feel pretty well informed. Too many times I’ve read Q after a lot of buildup and what they offered was a lot of nothing. That’s just my opinion.

I haven’t seen Q say things that aren’t truthful. I just haven’t seen anything they’ve posted that I would consider “breaking news.”

But if Q reaches people that are ill informed or uninformed, I would certainly have no problems with that.

Because I thought that an article from a generally reliable source would be of interest to some around here. I’ve seen titles of “Q” threads before, so obviously many FReepers had an interest in the subject. Nothing more. :>)

And yet you made a disclaimer about you being attacked and not posting to you, demonstrating knowledge of the controversial nature of posting the thread.

And you're not aware of the unwritten rule against posting Q threads in the main forum? (other than the sanctioned Q threads)?

You just SEE Q thread titles sometimes?

Fishy, bro.

I commend all of the Q people for the civil discourse. This is more FR like! Nothing is to be gained by uncivil conduct among people who actually agree on the same things and support the same objectives but who dont see the Q thing in the same way. Nevertheless, FR people support the identical goals and support trump completely. Regarding Q, I continue to watch for the developments predicted. I recall August was supposed to be a special month. Nothing special. Red October was apparently going to be the next big month. Nothing real special. Now the goalposts have been moved to “by the end of the year” and “after Jan 1, 2019”. I also note that “Trust the Plan” has morphed into “Trust Trumps Plan” and “Trust Sessions” has pretty much disappeared since it is likely he will be fighting the deep state from the porch of his house in Alabama soon. I see no harm in the Q activity so long as everyone remains friends and civil, which seems to have taken hold lately. Yay! As time goes on folks will continue to gauge how much Q is real and how much it isnt. In the meantime have a great Happy Thanksgiving, vote Tuesday.😀

“””Does Q really reach many not on sites like FR?”””

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Free+Republic&t=ffsb&ia=web

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Q+anon&t=ffsb&ia=web

Go look around. See which one the MSM is trying to kill off. I’ll bury you in articles, but I’m curious to see if you’ll even look. Who is generating more “look here”?

Trump is a showman and drawing all attention to himself as well as misdirecting the Left so they trip over themselves thus exposing themselves for who they truly are. Your and my spiritual enemy.

“””Too many times I’ve read Q after a lot of buildup and what they offered was a lot of nothing. That’s just my opinion.”””

Don’t fault Q. If readers get excited and tear off on a tangent because they haven’t used critical thinking, they’ve only misled themselves.

Look back and read some comments on articles posted ten years ago on FR. It’ll open your eyes. UNDERSTAND I AM NOT ATTACKING FR, just pointing out human nature and the biases we all have.

You have every right to express your opinion. You may want to at least consider others may not be as ignorant as you think.

“””But if Q reaches people that are ill informed or uninformed, I would certainly have no problems with that.”””

I know you don’t. Just understand we are trying to reach everyday people who’s worldview and political beliefs are based on lies and so entrenched it’s hard to get them to see differently, and if they do, it could topple everything they have ever believed in, ie their life, their faith.

It’s a dangerous balancing act.

thanks for the info. i had heard it/they/he/she were thrown off 4chan but honestly i am not aware enough to comment.

just for my clarity, they dont have access to the 8chan version, is that it? (as in thats why they cant post with the current Q tripcode)?

not a trick questions, just curious...

if they do have current access, could they not just post as Q and say...its all a larp...seems pretty simple way of proving they are Q, no?

more interested in the tech side of this than the political aspects tbh.

No dude. My comment shows a knowledge that I’ve seen FReepers who followed this “Q” discussion throwing verbal brickbats at each other on other threads and tells you that I did not want to engage in that pointless exercise (especially as I have never read a single “Q” post, or tweet, or whatever it is “Q” does).

PS I’m not your “bro”.

Like many cults, QAnon encourages its most dedicated followers to give money to the further the “great awakening” (of which Q is supposedly a leader)

I bounced in and out of the Q threads, so maybe I missed it, but I definitely lever saw any thing even remotely resembling a request for money.

That is absolutely false. In fact Q actively discouraged followers from pay sites and stated that if someone was asking for money they were not legitimate. This statement caused Jerome Corsi, who was selling a book, to do a full 180 in his support of Q.

This also puts the lie to the claim that Posobiec is interviewing one of the creators of Q, which was already debunked months ago when he first made the claim.

Agree. No problems with Q but I just haven’t gained much from it. If others do, I am okay with that. I believe we’re all on the same team.
