Posted on 09/28/2020 12:28:43 PM PDT by MNDude

Condemning QAnon and rejecting the conspiracy theories it promotes.

Whereas, throughout history, conspiracy theories that falsely blame secret cabals or marginalized groups for society’s ills have fueled prejudice, genocide, and acts of terrorism;

Whereas QAnon is a movement promoting a collection of unfounded conspiracy theories that have spread widely on the internet since 2017;

Whereas QAnon initially alleged that prominent Americans are engaged in a secret plot to control the world, while using their power to exploit children, and has expanded to embrace virtually every popular conspiracy theory of the last several decades, from questioning the truth about the September 11th terrorist attacks, to believing in alien landings, to denying the safety of vaccines;

Whereas many QAnon followers express anti-Semitic views, and the Anti-Defamation League has said that the movement’s central conspiracy theory includes anti-Semitic elements;

Whereas conspiracy theories have been a central driver of anti-Semitism for centuries, and QAnon conspiracy theories are fanning the flames as anti-Semitism is on the rise in the United States and around the world;

Whereas the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has assessed with high confidence that “fringe political conspiracy theories”, including QAnon, “very likely motivate some domestic extremists, wholly or in part, to engage in criminal or violent activity”, and that these conspiracy theories “very likely encourage the targeting of specific people, places and organizations, thereby increasing the likelihood of violence against these targets”;

Whereas the FBI bases this assessment on “events in which individuals committed crimes, plotted attacks, or successfully carried out deadly violence, and who—either before or after their arrests—attributed their actions to their conspiratorial beliefs”;

Whereas QAnon adherents have been implicated in crimes that they claim their QAnon beliefs inspired, including—

Nope...because what has Q done? We have people out advocating and acting out for the violent overthrow of our government. The head of the FBI is denying they are organized and the House is focused on this? Really? Why?

“I’m not a Q guy...but wondering if I should start, since seems like they’re making all the right enemies.”

You only catch flak when you are over the target.

If Nancy is doing this, “Q” must be a real threat to evil everywhere.

Go “Q!”

The whole Q thing is dumb, but it’s not anti-Semitic. And how nice of the Dems, FBI, and ADL to spend time on phantom threats instead of the real terrorists that are attacking this country.

I think QAnon is BS, but why should BS be against the law?

Haha. This is the funniest part of this derp state counter-attack;

Whereas QAnon adherents have been harming legitimate efforts to combat child exploitation and sex trafficking, including by overwhelming antitrafficking hotlines with false reports.

Not sure what they are worried about since the Q "team" hasn't accomplished much. In the end, it is going to be up to us voters to drag Trump across the finish line, only this time the DS will do everything they can to make sure Trump doesn't win. If there was a plan, it wasn't a very good one.

This is a written version of what Antifa does to people in the streets.

Check out the Q posts and then think for yourself. Others can help guide you to specific posts, but the key to understanding what you see requires you to think for yourself. Q is not a cult and it’s not pajama kids in mommy’s basement.

You have to want to know.

Funny thing ... substantial chunks of H.Res.1154 are based on posts from the trolls that fill way over half the “Qanon content.”

And how about that unfounded theory that the Trump campaign was spied on? Or the “founded” theory of Russian collusion.”

H.Res.1154 exhorts the public to “seek information from authoritative sources and to engage in political debate from a common factual foundation.”

As if. I mean, see Schiff’s facts, or Nadler’s. Or Pelosi. What is this mythical “common factual foundation”? It flat does not exist. Congress and the press are failed and lying institutions, and based on the contents of this silly resolution, i would not look to Congress for being grounded in reality.
