...the whole Q mythology thing is a huge thorn in the side of the media left

No, it's not. If anything, the leftstream media is pointing and laughing at Normals being suckered by this kookery.

Outside the bubble, the Q thing looks like a creepy cult.

The number of q exposes in the last 15 days has multiplied.

Oddly enough, that has only strengthened the belief of the faithful. They see it as confirmation that Q is real.

Interesting point. I noticed at the last several trump rallies that there were NO Q signs or people wearing Q tshirts. Apparently the Trump organiZation does not want to be tied to the q movement. Cant blame them.

A guy told me there’s this secret source called “R” who’s got it all figured out.

I’ll post when I hear more.

Yes the Federalist is part of the deep state cabal.

You have to stop thinking as a Republican or a Democrat and start looking for truth.

It's almost like it's coordinated.

I think the post I linked to explains things fairly well.

Fwiw, back in the 1990s, the United States twice elected a crime family to rule over it and “they” bananaed our Republic and the world along with US.

I was thinking of two terms of the Clintons, but “twice” could also refer to both the Clintons and the Bush families.

Since discovering FR, I’ve lived through enough major situations where the official explanations landed far short of the runway to understand how things get convoluted living under crime family rule, with its multiple tiers of justice and random, weaponized guilt.

After a while, if you’re curious enough, you look for your own answers and learn to accept what the data tells you.

If anything, the Qanon info is like eating organic, homemade cooking.

Whereas with Fox and the rest of the one-stream media, you’re eating processed, refined, cooked in trans fat, colorfully packaged, brand name, drive thru, fast food that marketing makes you want.

Fascinating how we and things have been progressed.

It is coordinated in the sense that the media sees the q thing as a way to smear trump by making his supporters look like far out conspiracy nuts. While the q kooks believe it is the deep state striking back at the truthful Q, in reality it is just another media attempt to harm trump.

Quote- (top Democrats are actually human traffickers and pedophiles, )

Trump, an original conspiracy theorist or Trump made fun of the conspiracy theorists.

Candidate ‘Trump’:
“Everyone knows, of course, Hillary’s belief that, ‘It takes a village,’ which only makes sense, after all, in places like Haiti, where she’s taken a number of them.”

Ha, Trump, making a joke about Hillary, a top Democrat, being into human trafficking in Haiti.

That’s a joke right, Trump?

The scam claim is nonsensical. For the most part Q has enticed followers to research. It is difficult to know precisely what has come of this except a host of people engaged in ferreting truth outside the MSM corral. That fact alone weakens the influence of Fake News.
The attempt to keep a large number of people in a highly energized state of expectation must fall flat. I for one cannot keep my hope and zeal on high alert for anything other than the return of Christ. Even that most worthy vision is darkened at times by daily troubles.

Not if believe a bunch of exposers on twitter who have hacked the Q nest and got the chat logs where they talk about making money off the q scam by having paid sites to “interpret” the q things that they invent.

There are several q people who have already been exposed as making money off the q scam.

You might want to consider this explanation. After all it makes more sense than the presidents people sitting around all day long creating nonsensical riddles which state nothing new and provide no more information to trump supporters than the president can tweet out.

The “very conservative Federalist” is founded and published by Meghan McCain’s husband.

“The scam claim is nonsensical.”

Well, except that it’s demonstrable. The scammers have outed themselves multiple times on livestream video proving they make posts on the Q account, while the whole time they have been claiming they don’t and that “Q” is some mysterious figure in the government.

Their fatal mistake was, when they were banned from reddit, they went to a livestream instead of finding another board. When they made mistakes previously, cameras were not recording them, and the recordings were not being watched and backed up by people waiting to out those mistakes to the world. Now they don’t have that luxury and obviously just weren’t sophisticated enough to foresee that they would inevitably mess up and reveal the scam in front of their own cameras.

Another mistake they made was with the internal fighting among the group, where a couple of the members started pushing out people who were in on the scam from the beginning. Now those original members are disgruntled and have no reason not to talk about everything they know. They should have either limited who was involved from the beginning, or not pissed off the people they need to remain silent.

“If anything, the Qanon info is like eating organic, homemade cooking.”

In otherwords, it’s overpriced, overhyped, and gives you an unearned sense of moral superiority?
