Why Thousands Are Obsessed With A Nest Of Conspiracy Theories Called QAnon
http://thefederalist.com/ ^ | August 21 2018 | Georgi Boorman

QAnon is a conspiracy theory so far reaching and comprehensive, there is virtually no other conspiracy theory it leaves untouched, from the government hiding the UFOs to JFK Jr. surviving his plane crash. The fact that it envelops so many other theories helps explain why QAnon is the most popular shadow-rule fantasy of our time.

... top Democrats are actually human traffickers and pedophiles, along with some Hollywood stars. Many are also supposedly Satanists and blood-drinkers and drug traffickers, too.

This cabal of evildoers is supposedly headed by Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, who are secretly planning a coup on the president. A sampling of other beliefs are: that the Rothschilds are supposedly leaders of a Satanic cult, that Debbie Wasserman Schultz sent MS-13 to kill DNC staffer Seth Rich, that the Rothschilds and/or JP Morgan sunk the Titanic (even though his own company owned it), and that Kim Jong Un was actually installed as a puppet dictator by the CIA.

The most salient belief Q followers drill down on in their analysis is that Special Counsel Robert Mueller is not actually investigating President Trump and his team for Russia collusion — that’s just a cover for his secret investigation of Hillary Clinton. Every day, Trump is putting on a circus for the media, making himself look like a fool; but behind the scenes, he is playing a highly complex game of 4D chess to defeat the deep state and drain the swamp, and even the most studious Q believers can only hope to get an inkling about his strategies.

As Q wrote on Aug. 14, as if in defense of the 4D chess theory of POTUS’s behavior, “Has POTUS made a statement AS PRESIDENT that hasn’t ended up being TRUE AND CORRECT?”

The fact that Q says to “trust Sessions” tells me that he’s either a fat kid in his parents’ basement, or some kind of Deep State gaslighter.

Just more exposure of the Q nonsense. This time from the very conservative Federalist. Eventually the Q people are going to come around to the fact that they have been scammed.

Sessions is Strozk`s “insurance” he spoke of in his texts to his mistress.

Anyone who says Sessions is doing his job is a mental retard.

Except for one thing ... Sessions serves at the will of the POTUS; and POTUS has not fired him. DJT has no problem with "You're fired." Yet this has not happened. I've not been impressed with Sessions' performance for this POTUS either (he's not nearly as outspoken as he once was), but this does lead me to believe there is more to the story.

McConnell and Ryan told Trump if he sacked Sessions he would never get another nominee confirmed to that role. They’ll just go down the org chart and give the “Acting” job to the next guy each time he fires anyone.

Ok...follow me on this...

Q is Session’s....how do I know.

1. Look at a photo of him put your thumb over the left side facing ear..turn the photo to the right. Notice how the right side facing ear make the tail of the Q.

2. We all call him “Sleepy Sessions” but...he spends 16 hours a day working. 1 hour on chasing down Mary Jane laws and 15 hours a day writing gobbledygook code as “Q”.

So there you have it....case closed

Yep, but don't hold your breath waiting for the true believers to ever admit it.

That would be a good point, except Donald Trump is the one guy who would be perfectly content to leave executive branch posts vacant rather than leave useless @ssholes in them.

Why are people obsessed with politics?
Why are people obsessed with superheros, ComicCon?
Why are people obsessed with TV shows, movies, celebrities? Star Trek, Star wars...
Why are people obsessed with Bitcoin?

All fake and full of fake people that millions of people are obsessed with. Fake or real has no bearing on whether people can or should be obsessed with something or not.

It’s Entertainment.

I agree. Religious fanaticism dies hard. But the more articles that describe the Q thing come out the more rational,people will start disassociating themselves. Today the Federalist described the q movement in totally unflattering ways. Even the q people cant claim the Federalist is part of the deep state cabal.

Same thing as the Obama birth cert.
A planted story by Clinton Machine to cause distraction.
Nothing is going to happen until someone from the FBI or CIA is convicted and key Senators are going to work hard to prevent that.

Linda, Burr, McCain and soon Senator Romney.
They were all involved.

You think DJT is under their thumb? You think Ryan is retiring of his own accord? You think the dirt on Chao is buried? You think POTUS wouldn't call a bluff? I don't believe any of that. If Trump wanted Sessions gone, he'd be gone.

One Answer: Q is an irrelevant joke.
