You certainly can’t say the same about the once rabid q supporters who used to routinely threaten the non believers right here on Free Republic. So don’t even bother denying it because we all recall how virulent you people were when you thought you were one step away from throwing anyone into gitmo.
The reason the FBI created their briefing paper was the repeated violent acts carried out by the mentally unstable q anon flowers who cited q as a justification.
So spare us the spin.
The FBI intelligence bulletin from the bureau’s Phoenix field office, dated May 30, 2019 fell apart into flimsy little propaganda pieces when analyzed. The sources cited in the document's footnotes included the fact that the FBI's investigative involvement was "limited" but provided open source information (i.e., no authorized investigation?), MSM outlets and, I kid you not, "members of the public whose reliability cannot be determined."
Oh, they cite law enforcement and other sources who, since 2014, have many instances of corroboration. Since Q did not start posting until fall of 2017, the source in the FBI document, along with law enforcement are claimed to underpin "key analytic findings" (analytic findings about extremism in general - not evidence of any kind re Q Anon).
I did see a post saying the bulletin also cited Snopes and Wikipedia but since I can't find the whole document anymore, I can't verify that. Here's an excerpt:
The reason the FBI created their briefing paper was the repeated violent acts carried out by the mentally unstable q anon flowers who cited q as a justification. Out of the millions of people following Q around the world, Okey, you would be hard pressed to find a half dozen violent people who justified their violence by citing Q as a reason. You can find some Main Stream News reports that claimed that, but when examined critically, it was not true, merely claimed by know nothing reporters. Since you assert “repeated violent acts carried out by the mentally unstable q anon flowers,” why don’t you give it a good old college try: Find just TEN. Go ahead, list them.
