A book that pushes the conspiracy theory Qanon climbed within the top 75 of all books sold on Amazon in recent days, pushed by Amazon’s algorithmically generated recommendations page.
“QAnon: An Invitation to the Great Awakening,” which has no stated author, ranked at No. 56 at press time, was featured in the algorithmically generated “Hot new releases” section on Amazon’s books landing page. The book claims without evidence a variety of outlandish claims including that prominent Democrats murder and eat children and that the U.S. government created both AIDS and the movie Monsters Inc.
The Qanon conspiracy theory moved from fringe parts of the internet in 2018 to achieve national prominence thanks to supporters of President Donald Trump who wore clothes and held signs referencing “Q” at political rallies. The conspiracy theory’s rise was followed by a variety of Qanon-related moneymaking schemes that included merchandise for sale that could also be found on Amazon.
Adherents of the Qanon conspiracy theory falsely believe that the world is run by a Satanic cabal helmed by former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, and that President Donald Trump and Special Counsel Robert Mueller are secretly working in tandem to eliminate the cabal.
The book, “An Invitation to the Great Awakening,” is currently No. 9 in all books about politics, and No. 1 in all books about “Censorship,” one slot ahead of Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451,” and immediately followed by classics “Lord of the Flies,” “The Handmaid’s Tale,” and “Of Mice and Men.”
The paperback, which cost $17 at press time, features outlandish claims, sometimes written in rapid succession with no evidence. On one page, the book baselessly claims that the United States government created AIDS, polio, Lyme disease, some natural disasters, two Indiana Jones movies and the Pixar movie Monsters Inc.

As I forecasted, POTUS would continue to tweet or retweet the letter Q this month.
Once again...on the 17th day of the month no less. Serious, does this not make you wonder just a tiny bit??

You have no idea how ridiculous that sounds to a normal person. Our president is literally trying to save this country from certain death, and you think he's got time to play wink wink, nudge nudge with a bunch of conspiracy loons?
That's actually insulting. Next thing you'll be telling me is that Trump gets his daily briefing out of a Cracker Jacks box.
Snap out of it, Freeper. Qanon is either a grand hoax, or a deep state psyop, cleverly designed to suck decent people down an interminable rabbit's hole. Either way, it has produced nothing of tangible, real world value since its inception.
It's a distraction, plain and simple. Someone is benefiting from it, but it isn't the people or the MAGA agenda, that's for sure.
