Hackers targeted American Thinker after it put up a post about Q
american thinker ^ | 1/20/2020 | Andrea Widburg

Posted on 01/20/2020 8:22:36 AM PST by bitt

On Tuesday, January 14, American Thinker put up an article entitled An Introduction to Q. It was one of the site's most popular articles for several days. Since Tuesday, the American Thinker site and email account have been subject to several cyber-attacks. There's no way to tell whether the attacks are related to the post, but the timing is thought-provoking.

For almost three years, there’s been word on the internet streets about “QAnon.” Wikipedia -- which is a great resource for uncontested information about historic events or people or such anodyne things as plant types, but a hard-Left domain for modern political information – introduces QAnon in the darkest way possible:

QAnon (/kjuːəˈnɒn/) is a far-right conspiracy theory detailing a supposed secret plot by an alleged "deep state" against U.S. President Donald Trump and his supporters. The theory began with an October 2017 post on the anonymous imageboard 4chan by someone using the name Q, a presumably American individual that may have later grown to include multiple people, claiming to have access to classified information involving the Trump administration and its opponents in the United States. Q has falsely accused numerous liberal Hollywood actors, Democratic politicians, and high-ranking officials of engaging in an international child sex trafficking ring, and has claimed that Donald Trump feigned collusion with Russians in order to enlist Robert Mueller to join him in exposing the ring and preventing a coup d'état by Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and George Soros. "Q" is a reference to the top-secret Q clearance. QAnon believers commonly tag their social media posts with the hashtag #WWG1WGA, signifying the motto "where we go one, we go all." (All hyperlinks stripped.)

That sounds scary, icky, and definitely conspiratorial.

It is odd. I don’t see how Q would be considered a target since it has yet to deliver any useful information.

We fear what we don’t know and don’t understand. Wikipedia is an example of blindspot bias where is does not know what it does not know. It has the arrogance to think that it is the ultimate souce of truth.

Oh goody. Another Q thread outside of the Q(uarantined) sandbox that will go on for days and days and will still end up the same, eventually getting locked like the last one did.

Here’s a preview:

“all this for a LARP?”

No, for the CASH!

Just ask the Paytriot Shitbox who authors this Boomer scam and Praying Insect who “decoded” it and bought a house with all the gullible Boomer money.

He did a lot better there than with his books about resurrecting the dead and how to regrow human limbs like a starfish.

“Trust Sessions.”

“I don’t see how Q would be considered a target since it has yet to deliver any useful information.”

You mean like, Hillary wasn’t arrested?

She was in 2017. The QAnon grifters said so.

I have no idea who or what Q is.

But if it is a fraud why don’t you Doxx them and be done with it?

The Paytriot Shitbox has doxxed themselves and Hillary was never arrested.

Their Qult is a fraud and they defraud unfortunate Boomers.
They don’t even like President Trump. They went after VP Pence.

The scam has run its course. It’s over.

FTA: "The editors at American Thinker are agnostic about Q. They realize it's perfectly easy to read the Q phenomenon either way."

<SKIP>

"Nevertheless, just in case either Q is the real deal or Q's opponents are worried (or know) that Q is the real deal, American Thinker will continue to post occasionally about the Q phenomenon in order to keep readers informed about what's either a really cool military operation or a really persuasive, giant conspiracy hoax.

Interesting -- and worth following...

Walter Roman (aka JME-FAN), is a member in good standing of MAGAcoaltion.com, a disreputable PAC pretending to support President Trump, but siphoning donations off for their own personal use.

Q and the anons outted MAGAcoaltion and this Walter Roman (romanesq) has made it his personal mission to bring down the Qanon movement. He has failed, as the movement continues to grow worldwide.

It's funny to watch him thrash about like a child that didn't get his pudding pops in the grocery store.

Hiya Walter.

You spelt MAGAcoaltion wrong, JME-FAN.

Pence is a derp. Why do you hump his leg so hard? There can only be one reason.

Wait. Trump doesn't even like Trump?

Make that make sense.

You can either MAGA - Trump-Pence 2020!

Or you can be a Qultish derp.

I stand with MAGA!
