The 25 Most Influential People on the Internet
time ^

Posted on 06/29/2018 1:29:42 PM PDT by MNDude

Last October, an anonymous user, known simply as Q, started posting cryptic messages on the controversial message board 4chan—the common theme being that President Trump is a secret genius and his opponents, namely Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, are evil. Q reportedly claimed to be getting this information directly from the government, thanks to tops-secret, “Q-type” security clearance. There has been little—if any—hard evidence to support Q’s musings. But over time, thousands of people started to believe them—or at least, to acknowledge they might be real. And they became the foundation of a wide-ranging conspiracy theory, known as QAnon, that has been covered by the New York Times and New York Magazine, among others, and discussed in more than 130,000 videos on YouTube. One of its most prominent followers: Roseanne Barr, who tweeted several references to QAnon before being fired from her hit TV show in May. —Melissa Chan

The constant admonitions to “trust” were my tipoff. Q spends more time on needing trust than on any revelations of value.

If you think about it, the reason for Q to exist...doesn’t exist. If you want information out, put it out. There’s no need for all the codes and BS.

You would think that “ The 25 most influential people on the internet” would be people that change people minds not just a bunch of followers. How many people represent a set of beliefs but don’t really change anybody’s mind. While “The students at Parkland Fla got a lot of press. (well the anti guns ones) did they change anybody mind? I don’t think so. Maybe Ryan (a.k.a. Ryan ToysReview)is the most influential because people buy stuff based on his reviews?

>> Jim Thompson IS Q <<

Not a chance. He was eaten by tigers in the Malaysian jungle in ca. 1968.

The idiotic "coded" ( vague/open ended ) little blurbs, the "trust" thing, and the "PRAY FOR XXXXXXX"; not to mention his "explainers" ( here and all over the net ), are all over the place...some of them making egregious, specious, uneducated, and very stupid, politically naive explanations, really should have alerted EVERYONE to the fact that this is just a load of garbage. Sadly, it has yet to do so, for the CULTISTS.

I and I bet many others, could make far better "coded" drops that would actually prove to be true ( just common sense stuff, based on what's gone before )at a later date.

I’m not going to get down on the followers, they have their hearts in the right place and I like a lot of them. It will be such a letdown when it falls apart. I feel sorry for them, they’ve invested countless hours and effort.

I too like most of them; however, I am shocked that so many, whom I used to think were really common sense, no nonsense, educated posters are now so gullible, as to have fallen and fallen hard, for this hoax. Not just fallen for it, but also closed minded and nasty towards those who have questioned the veracity of some of the things posted, as well as offering up a factual correction/s to some of the specious, inaccurate things said.

Mueller is a "WHITE HAT" ? Really ?

Rosenstein is a "WHITE HAT"? IN WHAT UNIVERSE?

And those 2 things are the least of the crazy things that Q has claimed.

I would feel sorry for the, too, if at least a few of them just questioned something...but not a one one them, as far as I know, has.

Have never heard of most of these people.

If he is a hoax as you claim, what is his angle? He hasn’t tried to sell me anything, other than to trust the President, love America, and believe in God.
If that’s what he’s selling, I’m all in.

Then WHY was what I said posted to Q threads?

I have a great memory and and have read ( mostly when this all began on FR ) quite a few of the Q threads. And the stupid "TRUST SESSIONS" is also pathetically moronic!

I could post far better "coded" things, which would be far more prescient than the Q garbage and so can other posters here!
