Today Business Insider reached out to me and several others about QAnon. They are working on a major hit piece attacking everyone and anyone connected to the community of millions of great patriots who are seeking the truth outside of legacy media narratives.

I am publishing my response in full below for you to read. Enjoy! Yelena,

Thank you for reaching out to me for comment. I’m writing a story in response to your upcoming story and will be publishing it immediately on the Media Transparency section of the Gab News blog, which is emailed to millions of people daily. Your request along with my response below will be included, as is standard with all of Gab’s engagements with the legacy press.

Gab has had members of the QAnon community on our platform for several years now, but to be honest I never paid much attention to them because they have always been respectful people who follow Gab’s user guidelines and US law.

My attention was immediately drawn to them once the legacy press started to smear the QAnon community and especially after Silicon Valley platforms censored and deplatformed groups, individuals, and networks of people who even mention Q or any of the various important topics that the community researches and discusses.

If anyone asks for my preferred pronoun I tell them "the all knowing all seeing master of time, space and dimension" (borrowed from an old Steve Martin routine :) )

Yeah, I saw Q as nonsense (Trust Sessions), but it was a cute nonsense, if not even a little wholesome. I was subscribed to the subreddit on Reddit because it was one of the few places there decidedly pro-Trump. And then Reddit banned it.

To make it out into some dark conspiracy of violent followers—no way! Where did THAT even come from?

And now all social media has basically banned it?

Who and what gives them the right?

I think this will not end well. If they can demonize and ban Q then they can do this to anyone.

Free Republic has got to be a target they’d love to destroy.

Beyond that is the premise that free speech is one of the pillars of American democracy and part of our Constitution. We Americans subscribe to it and if we lose it as an ideal and ends to social discourse then it is truly over for our Republic.
