Why QAnon Is Important
QAnon, the conspiracy theory that claims President Trump is battling a deep state child sex trafficking ring run by high-profile democrats and celebrities, is the subject of a new ‘Atlantic’ article by Adrienne LaFrance. “It’s almost like a bad spy novel,” LaFrance says. QAnon adherents often appear at Trump rallies, and one supporter has won the Republican nomination to a Georgia Congressional seat.
I believe patriots have taken over Project Mockingbird to a degree, and are behind the MSM attacks on Q.
Soon some big specific Q predictions will manifest and the world will REALLY pay attention.
I just finished listening to the 47 minute Fresh Air story on Qanon. I wasn’t clear in saying that it references Praying Medic as one of the leading Qanon “interpreters” but he does not appear on the program. It is in fact an interview with Adrienne LaFrance, editor of The Atlantic, who has written an extensive article called “The Prophecies of Q”.
You wouldn’t believe me said it was a fair and balanced disucssion, which is certainly is not, but I was surprised that it was as balanced as it was. She has clearly done a lot of homework and while she rejects the “content” (i.e. allegations of child sex trafficking and other criminal activities) she expresses some clear admiration for the “process” by which the Qanon movement has evolved, taking advantage of the nature of the internet and desire for a way to show support for President Trump and maintain optimism amongst his base. She also said the puzzle-solving aspect of decoding Q drops and the common experience of having knowedge that others don’t have is an attractive aspect of Qanon.
All in all I would recommend listening to it if you have the ability to tolerate ideas and attitudes you don’t agree with in order to gain a difference perspective. There was a time when that was in fact a part of being an American we were most proud of.
One thing we can agree with her about: the Qanon movement is gaining strength and is a force to be reckoned with.
