H.Res.1154 - Condemning QAnon and rejecting the conspiracy theories it promotes.
Congress.gov ^

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—

Q is obviously a hoax, why would anyone waste any valuable time worrying about it?

What if this means Q is not a conspiracy theory?

I found This
on FR's Q thread.

Apparently the Q wants people to read it.

It's one of those "drop" things that is part of their cult ritual.

Seems to be a story about some guy who worked for an agency of the federal government?

Oh... he worked for the FBI?

Well, isn't that a strange coincidence?

🤔

“Whereas QAnon is a movement promoting a collection of unfounded conspiracy theories that have spread widely on the internet since 2017”. I thought they were talking about the House Democrats and the ‘Russia Conspiracy’ at first. Hmmmmm. Pot calling kettle black?

Yet Bette Midler is allowed to spew whatever crap she wants.

I am not a full time follower of Q, but free speech is an absolute.

The more the establishment opposes QAnon, the more they validate QAnon.

-- Conspiracy theory, the opposite of compliance theory, is questioning the narratives given from proved liars. --

That's a good definition. Ambrose Bierce would be pleased.

H.Res.1154 - Condemning QAnon and rejecting the conspiracy theories it promotes.

Something you will NEVER see:

H.Res.1182 - Condemning AntiFa and rejecting the arson and violence it promotes.

-- Is it worse than the Russia Collusion Hoax directed by government resources? --

That persepctive depends on whose ox is being gored. The government side has yet to admit it is engaged in persistent misleading of the public. The government is still protecting its Russian collusion hoax, and if and when it is revealed as a hox, Congress will feign shock and surprise - even though Congress was back-stage ringleader and front-stage cheerleader.

Today, the Qanon conspiracy theory is that the Clinton Foundation was a pay to play operation. It’s intake of money dropped precipitously when Hillary failed to win the presidency.

The conspiracy theory includes an exhortation to look at linkls between Clinton Foundation and East Africa.
