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 guess I read a lot so I know what’s going on. To me, Q was just more clutter.

I've been thinking about that very subject lately. Your point is often stated.

I have come to the conclusion that for anybody to, as you claim, be aware of all the diverse subjects that Q has talked about and pointed to, one would have to be.....Q.

With all due respect, unless you work at a high level in the intelligence community, you couldn't possibly have "read a lot" enough to know ALL the things Q has talked about. It's just not credible.

And yet people on FR say that like they're J. Edgar Hoover or something.

I don't dispute that there are very aware, educated, and experienced people posting here with a vast array of knowledge. But to display the level of intelligence information and knowledge Q has is not only far beyond the capacity of some computer hacker nerd is beyond belief. Or even an older, experienced FReeper that reads.

So I don't like that argument much. Again, with all due respect.

Thanks for this further expose of the idiot salt-lick known as Q”.

Even though the premise, nay the entire article, is a bogus lie? There is no exposure of anything.

I just didn’t care for the way they used religion as a way to gain trust.

I honestly and with no bias have to disagree. I don't think anybodies motive is to "gain trust". I think it's just religious people doing what religious people do. Display their religion and share it with each other.

I don't have a problem with that and I'm not sure why anybody else would.

Or are you saying that those displaying their religion are FALSELY and HIPOCRITICALLY displaying their religion as a trick to gain (whose) trust?

I'm honestly not completely understanding your argument. With all due respect.

I don't think people understand the meaning of conspiracy.

conspiracy (kən-spîrˈə-sē)
n. An agreement to perform together an illegal, wrongful, or subversive act.

1. What is illegal about Q? Nothing whatsoever. In fact I believe the recent quiet time from Q is in observance of the Hatch Act so as to not have a sliver of doubt of being above board.
2. What is wrongful about Q? Nothing unless inspiring people to think for themselves is wrongful. Only a democrat would think that. Where We Go One We Go All is a unifying call. Be a patriot speaks for itself.
3. What is subversive about Q? Again nothing. Q is 100% Open Source and directs research to open source data.

Hey, non-bro. I went and read that post you quoted me from. I thought people might be interested (not sure why, but you thougt it was important) to read the whole post. Here's a link.

Enjoy.

p.s. Non-bro? Do you have any comments on the Q proof post I made? That did take some work to write up, so the least you guys could do is read and comment on it. After all, you do seem to clamor for proofs. That's one. Debunk at will. Mickety? Anything?

😊

Asking for prayers for our nation and President is "using religion"? I wholeheartedly disagree with that. Our nation NEEDS prayers. Our President NEEDS prayers. Prayer work, and there's not one thing wrong with asking for prayers for others. Not one, and you darn well know it.

I usually found a lot about nothing.

Name a few things considered “breaking news” they let us know.

There were more than a few times I read through multiple posts to find out what they were trying to say and it would be a lot about nothing.

If they really wanted credibility, break some real news — not just what I could pick up from reading FR or things highly predictable.

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.

It still boggles my mind, oh great psychologist—how is it that certain personalities of otherwise bright conservatives end up seeming sooooooooo willfully blind about such obvious facts as those rife in the Q-team’s assistance of POTUS TRUMP.

I subscribe to the school that the simplest answer is likely the correct one. People do not want to dig. Even conservatives. They want their information spoon fed to them because it's what they've been trained to accept. Pity is the emotion I feel for them, but I do not blame them for their mistake. They've been lied to for soooo long. They've had the football pulled from them a la Lucy and Charlie Brown so many times. How could they possibly accept something so purely thought encouraging?

First, define value.

Well, lemme try this. Maybe this has value to you.

Q led us, through his questions, hints, and clues, to understand WHILE IT WAS HAPPENING, that Trump and his people were meeting with MbS in Saudi and working on a power shift there, Saudi being then aligned with the Deep State.

A mere day (I think, going on memory) that very Prince, MbS, overthrew the ruling members of the Saudi Royal family, tortured some, killed some, and took billions of dollars from some. He then sat down in the high chair as an ally of the proper American government. President Trump.

Then Trump made a bazillionty dollar weapons deal with the Prince, his new REAL ally, and Saudi aligned with Israel and other Gulf states against the Iran alliance.

Where the value comes in of this pre and ongoing knowledge of the reality of the new middle east situation is, when this Kasoggi character got whacked out, I (we, those who properly connected the dots) understood what that really was.

We understood that the dead guy was the enemy and got whacked by the good guys, in the Saudi way. And we knew that Trump was slow playing his reaction because the derps (deep state) were spinning the incident to create a rift between Trump and the Prince that would cause him to be replaced by the usual derp state Saudi and get Saudi back into the Derp column.

So, long story short, the value of that information INFORMED and tamped down any buying into by the public of the derp media and derp politicians (Lindsey Graham for example) who were calling for MbS ouster.

Public support for Trump is one of the major goals of the Q operation. When we see clearly, we will not buy what the media is selling. And they are selling hard, in case you haven't noticed.

So, yea. I think that has value. Is that the kind of value you were asking about? There are lots of other stuff too.

It's really about seeing things clearly, to me. Once the curtain is taken down, every piece of news you see from the derp media can be gleaned for lies, manipulation, and any truth contained there.

I'm being sincere when I say, that following Qanon introduces you to LOTS things that you would normally not be aware of. LOTS. I don't care how much you try to stay on top of things, read, or watch on t.v. or the internet.

I could go on about this topic for days, but this post is already too long. Sorry to ramble. But when somebody respectfully asks, I do feel compelled to answer when I have the time. I think this stuff is super important for the future of this country. Sure, its just information. But an informed population is a powerful one, and wont be fooled.

So, yea.

You didn’t need Q to show you any of that. If you just read regular posts on FR you get all that. Q only comes in when it’s already been pointed out by others.

No personal interest, then why post this?

Curious opening.

Ah, but they do. Future proves past. And besides no one ever said Q was about "breaking news". You're only seeing the "trees' so to speak. Q is about information. And for YOUR information, those of us that are FReepers (especially long time ones) are about a sliver of 1% of the population. We are exceptional in the truest sense of the word. I make the assumption people know more than they do about world events all the time. I'm wrong to do that. The Q Team is directing folks to open source data and materials they might not otherwise even think to search for. There are especially a lot of young Patriots that NEED the direction because they've never been taught to think for themselves. They are LEARNING to think because of Q. I think we can all get on board with that.
