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.”

Sorry but there will be many books written about Q, in the future your kids and grandkids will learn to count to 20 like 14, 15, 16, Q, 18, 19, 20

But don’t worry about it you and the left wing media you all doing too as proof are desperatelyn spinningin but it is too late you the writing on the wall.

And again trump could end it all with one tweet but he doesn’t, I

I for one will be glad when all you trolls and never trumpets are force fed a giant serving of crow

Ps this goes for all the sleepy sessions trolls too I’ve noticed there is a lot of overlap of the two groups

So sad, did you want to read more fake news from the publisher of the phony Russian dossie buzzfeed?

Maybe DU is a better fit for you they love articles from the new York times and Washington post

Plus you could probably get on the news they lovearticles a goes anti trump story,

You could say “ I was a trump fan but once they started attacking buzzeed the new York times the Washington and msnbc I had to speak up”

Ps
I posted link up thread of all your favorite msm sources if you need some confirmation bias for your fragile little mind

You should call Antifa in as backup. They speak your language.

Just trying to help, you poor dear.

It was very tricky of those crafty lefties to use the exact same scenario from some obscure book from history right down to the very same letter Q.

None of which has to do with the behavior of Q adherents on the Q threads.

I'd say we're a jolly bunch of fellows.

Me too I love watching “conservatives” twisting and contorting to try and explain away why they suddenly find themselves in bed with and agreeing with BuzzFeed CNN MSNBC MSNBC etc etc etc that they have railed against on this very site for two decades.

Meanwhile:

Did you catch this thread?

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

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.

Have you been diagnosed with a learning disability?

Now was that bullying, harassment, or a fanatical reaction to criticism.

I'm a simple man, and know little of such things.

I don't mean to be argumentative, sir.

But you do seem to care. A vast amount.

I think you have a serious case of tunnel vision. I asked, because there is something wrong with him. And FYI, I have not reported him over the dozens of freepmail insults he has sent me. I'm pretty sure that's against the forum rules. Also, if you lok at his posts lately, he seems to be spinning out of control. Fanatical reaction to criticism? No, I know what and who Q is, and he didn't like it. That title would be better suited for Ed, for sure. I have a handful of psots about the Q LARP lately. You? Ed?

I'm a simple man

No argument here.

Not really. It doesn't upset me enough to Freepmail some serious curse insults to people. I'll speak about it, until it finally collapses, but look at how many posts you and a few others have, compared to me

Hey rocket scientist, THIS THREAD IS ABOUT WHAT A FRAUD THE Q MOVEMENT IS. Reading comprehension, it works. No wonder you people are so gullible.

This seems a little like a fanatical reaction to criticism. Or byllying or something.

Still not up on all the terminology.

You tell me who the deluded one is.

Again, I'm not quite sure if this is simply name-calling or something far more nefarious.

I don't, however, think it rises to the level of "fantatical reaction to criticism".
