Buzzfeed: QAnon A Leftist Hoax?
https://hotair.com ^ | August 6, 2018 | ED MORRISSEY

Posted on 08/06/2018 3:15:46 PM PDT by Para-Ord.45

In 1999, Roberto Bui, Giovanni Cattabriga, Federico Guglielmi, and Luca Di Meo, writing under the name “Luther Blissett,” published an Italian novel called Q.

Luther Blissett was a name regularly adopted in the ’90s by leftists, anarchists, and general troublemakers in Italy. It was used for staging all kinds of pranks. The Luther Blissetts in different cities would occasionally communicate by phone, but for the most part the project just spread organically. Think of it like an analogue Guy Fawkes Anonymous mask.

That flowed from the original Q and was entirely in keeping with its leftist-anarchist context.

..the authors believe that leftists used it as a playbook to bait the alt-Right, and that it worked on enough of them to matter:

“Coincidences are hard to ignore,” Bui, Cattabriga, and Guglielmi said. “Dispatches signed ‘Q’ allegedly coming from some dark meanders of top state power, exactly like in our book.”

They also pointed to the fact that the Q from the QAnon community is described almost exactly like Luther Blissett used to be described, “an entity of about 10 people that have high security clearance.”

Look at Q post 1824. He’s talking directly, just like early Q did:

“Ask yourself, if the U.S. GDP is greater than the total of all others combined (G7), which allows us to negotiate from a position of strength, why would previous President’s ‘knowingly’ [unequally] distribute America’s wealth away by making unbalanced trade deals?”

Haha, you have been duped.

still parroting the msm, funny every other thread calls it the Washington COMPOST you call it “proof”

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2018/03/31/the-conspiracy-theory-behind-a-curious-roseanne-barr-tweet-explained/?utm_term=.94c85a18ab02

Why has this caught on with some fringe far-right media organizations? I can’t sum it up better than Paris Martineau did in her late 2017 explainer of #QAnon.

In this fantasy world, all of the far right’s wildest dreams come true: Q promises that Clinton, Obama, Podesta, Abedin, and even McCain are all either arrested and wearing secret police-issued ankle monitors, or just about to be indicted; that the Steele dossier is a total fabrication personally paid for by Clinton and Obama; and that the Las Vegas massacre was most definitely an inside job connected to the Saudi-Clinton cabal.

I'm not in panic mode, I know who the Q group is. I've known since January it a group of YouTubers from the cbts discord who dreamed the whole thing up to monetize their channels. I was in the Patriots Soapbox when Pamphlet posted as Q in front of everyone. Bro, it is over. Now continue to LARP if it is fun for you. But Q isn't POTUS, or and insider. Have fun with it, I don't care. But I will continue speak about it, this is Free Republic.

So i guess ed morrissey the guy who wrote about the italian q hoax must be one of the right wing journalists bribed to write anti q stories, as reported by q just today!

You just cant make this stuff up.

From another one of your posts: (And PS, i am not a paid deep state right wing person).

You realize for those of us who are well informed about this, the deep state would be high-fiving you for some most excellent spin??? I hope you understand the real side you are taking. I hope you aren't one of those old fuddy duddies who are so set in their ways, it's closed your mind completely off to anything else that may be possible. That or you are doing it on purpose but you promised us above you are not a deep state operative.

FWIW, I vowed when I got older to always be positive, continue to learn and keep an open mind so I can avoid being one of these old fuddy duddies who never seem happy about anything but trying to make everyone else's lives miserable.

Intellectual laziness has led to so much misinformation here about what this Great Awakening is all about. The fix is to self-educate on the subject from good vetted sources. Free Republic and its good people have always been a good source to disseminate and vet info.

FR is still a good place to disseminate and vet info, that's what the Q threads are all about. Some here are showing they have lost faith in this site but it's still the great FR it's always been and if this Q thing was a hoax or worse, it would have been sniffed out long ago. So far it hasn't.

Once again, you don't have to follow this to understand it is a good thing. Beware those who purposely distract from this good and patriotic movement.

here's another article that you may want to post eslewhere seeing as you and the other trolls are all in lockstep with what the MSM says

I mean you believe what they say about Q without research so you must also believe what they say about Trump

Since Trump insiders are aware of the Q phenomena I'd think they would get out the information to Trump supporters that no one in the Trump orb has anything to do with Q

Because having the US Secret Service confiscate Q signs and mandate Q shirts be removed or worn inside out at POTUS events isn't sending a strong enough signal...

OkeyDoker:
“There is no excuse for the misconduct of a great many of the q people. Your informal leader, ransomnote, even warned you all not too long ago about your bad behaviour towards others, but some low lifes just dont get the message.”

_______________________________

Actually, I did not warn Q thread participants about their “bad behavior.” I recently pointed out that trolls (like you) often borrow questions from normal FReepers seeking information. Therefore, I recommended that we direct questioners new to our thread to resources and basically, give new people time to show us whether they are trolls (like you) or if they are FReepers exploring the topic of Q.

The intolerance I’ve encountered from some who don’t think Q is a legitimate topic or those who troll far exceeds any negative behavior I’ve witnessed from “Q people.”

FYI,

JFK Jr. didn’t die! He runs QAnon! And he’s No. 1 Trump fan, OMG!!!

https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3677374/posts?page=83#83

Hey, if the vaunted Washington Post sleuths can have their ‘Deep throat’ FBI insider back in the pre-internet days of Woodward and Bernstein, then it’s entirely plausible that one or more honest FBI insiders might want to drop a few anonymous clues to internet sleuths regarding the rampant government corruption today that makes Watergate look like a foolish kid’s prank.

You obviously have not read the q supporters misconduct, including the freeper comments to that effect in this thread alone, or you are simply being dishonest.

Denial does not say much for either your intellectual honesty or character.
