QAnon can no longer be ignored. What internet companies could do to stop its spread.
Just describing QAnon a sprawling, false theory that there is a deep state of child-molesting Satanists in charge of powerful institutions makes me confused.
But we cant ignore QAnon, even if we find the conspiracy bizarre. QAnon supporters are co-opting advocacy efforts in areas such as anti-child sex trafficking, believers are poised to get elected to office and followers are committing violence. Elements of QAnon are popping up everywhere.
I dont think anyone realized how big it would become, said Zarine Kharazian, assistant editor at the Atlantic Councils Digital Forensic Research Lab, which studies online misinformation. ...
I asked Kharazian what the internet companies should do to more effectively combat this conspiracy. ....

“, It is low intelligence people who resort to calling those in the group names like Qtard.”
Ambiguous punctuation. Comma should be period?
(Looks deliberate...who wants their car keyed, metaphorically speaking. Pathetic that some lowlifes use the sad plight of the intellectually disabled as a Slur.)
Actually, the President is aware of “Q” but has yet to “Denounce” it.
(And only a fool would think that President Trump does not have an opinion or hold back that opinion on anything!)

“Trump isn’t secretly winking at QAnon. He’s retweeting its followers.”
He drives the left crazy!!
(Sigh, signing off to go do stuff.)
QAnon has proven itself to be IRRELEVANT!
1) The the rest of corporate media had no problem with Clinton's appointment of Janet Reno as Attorney General even though she made her career by prosecuting fake child-abuse cases. During the 1980s and 1990s the corporate media, in cooperation with manipulative child psychologists and ambitious prosecutors, created the day-care sex-abuse hysteria.
Also, Waco and Branch Davidians. 2) Same goes for corporate media's support for Martha Coakley, Massachusetts AG and Senate candidate, and day-care conspiracy theories.
3) The corporate media has no problem with Al Sharpton being a Democrat gadfly and MSNBC commentator, even though he launched his career on completely phony sex abuse allegations.
4) The corporate media actively promoted multiple phony "Russia! Russia! Russia!" conspiracy theories for four years now, many of which were salacious.
5) The corporate media has promoted phony conspiracy theories to justify every war going back to the Spanish-American war. That tradition continued through to justify Obama's wars kinetic military actions in Libya, Syria, and Yemen.
6) The corporate media continues to promote fake news about the dangers of HCQ. I've taken a course of the drug on two occasions: it was never considered to be a dangerous drug in the past.
Bottom line: The NYT in particular and the corporate media in general have a horrible track record in promoting phony conspiracy theories.

It’s obvious to the detached observer.
And as grounded in published facts as Q himself.

It’s ridiculous to think their is a massive conspiracy of Satanic pedophiles in the halls of power. Just like it is unreasonable to believe America is no longer a god-fearing Christian land that sacrifices unborn children to the gods of convenience and wealth. It’s not like we have allowed homosexual couples to adopt children and be foster parents. It’s not like the media has made sexual perverts into role models for children. It’s not like we have modified compulsory education to propagandize children with sexual perversion.

Yeah, probably. I correct so many times and phone does not have a big keypad.
Go ahead, resort to Grammar Police Status when you know calling names is *bogue.

Hey, NY Times, a little hint for you.
Playbooks tend to have a little more impact when you don’t go out and publish them for the general public.
To separate Charles Q. Brown from the host of other Charles Browns, Charlie Browns, Chuck Browns, etc.
How does it feel to line up so perfectly with the lying mainstream media?
Post of the day for this thread.
QAnon depends on your research and/or the research of others. Just like freepers you begin to recognize those you trust, X22, Dustin Nemos, And We Know, John Michael Chambers are some of my favorites but there’s one who I love like a brother and would entrust my very life to - Praying Medic.

Wonder who is giving them the marching orders!
The irony is that people who knew nothing about Q are now becoming aware of it!
(KaChing!!)
Its OK. I rang you up a special dispensation! The Grammar Nazis accepted it and went out to have a Beer!
