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.”

Qanon: CNN for a select group of gullible Conservatives

LOL the irony, CNN is phony yet you agree with them, and keep quoting them.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

QAnon is the one conspiracy theory to rule them all

In the broader perspective, I think it's just really bad for American politics to have a segment of the population becoming increasingly unmoored from reality. For example, a big tenet of QAnon is that the deep state tried to shoot down Air Force One with a missile. That's nuts!

Well, Qanon and photographic evidence.

I can only imagine the level of brain washing it takes to get people to believe something as stupid as the US Navy covering up an unauthorized ballistic missile launch...from a submarine in Puget sound!

Did anyone hear it...no.

Did anyone see it...no.

Did it show up on radar...no.

Did any other country react to or report on the missile launch...no.

Does the Navy deny it happened...yes

Is there a reasonable explanation for the time lapse still image...yes.

Are there competent eyewitnesses to corroborate the explanation...yes.

It's almost like you fools live in a fantasy land of your own creation.

no Qanon formations in Portland or Berkeley over the weekend.

Because you took a poll of the Proud Boys and Patriot Prayer vis a vis their opinions on Q.

Please forward me the results of your polling data. ThankQ.

Don't tell me. It was a helicopter shining a light down from the clouds.

*eye roll*

Don't feel bad. I used to believe what the deep state told me too.

Hell, I voted for Bush.

Help me out, friend. Nobody else will clear this up for me.

Was that bullying, harassment, or a fanatical response to criticism?

Proof positive. There is NO WAY they could believe in Q.

You got me there. Your geometric logic is unsurpassed.

You tell me you’re the one in bed with the MSM trying to prove Q isn’t true.

Surely it’s just a coincidence, and has noting to do with the recent purge of conservative from social media.

Regardless of what caused that time lapsed image...

Do you deny there was a helicopter at the so-called launch location at the same time as the alleged missile launch?

Don you deny there was an Alaska airline jet in the vicinity also?

Are you stating as a matter of fact that the airline and helicopter pilots aren't competent eyewitnesses who saw nothing streaking up from the ground?

That's the power of this Qanon brainwashing...or maybe you're just dumber than I thought.

“I dont know if the Italian Q story is what is going on with this Q anon stuff but it does ring a bell doesnt it?”

This is part of the problem that Q, if he does nothing else, is addressing. People read a leftwing news source and just believe it.

The book was not about a nameless Q who was composed of ten government agents dispatching communiques for political purposes.

The book was about a leftist guy who was like Forrest Gump, present in major historical events, and he realized there was some character named Qoèlet, who went by “Q” for short, who was working for the enemy in each battle.

It isn’t really anything like Q, beyond the book was written anonymously by an artist collective named Luther Blisset, that didn’t attach their name to their works.

Q could be a psyop by the elites who run things, to make everyone look bad. But if it is, that would be significant. Because if it is, it looks as if Trump is in on it. And that would mean he is an elite plant steering us to something the elites want us to do.

I do not think he is a plant. But given what he has done to lend Q credence, like putting out a tweet with “Wonderful” and “Day” after Q’s followers asked Q to make him do it, or making the air Q with his hand in a speech as he says, “Set the Stage” right after Q posts simply “Set he stage,” those are the options. Q is a Trump production, and good for our movement, or Q is a Trump production, and bad for the movement.

Dismissing it with no interest is a very bad idea. It should get sorted on way or another, if for no better reason than to eliminate the divisions it is causing here on FR.

“Only a scam would suggest any criticism of the scam is not legitimate. “

“(And PS, i am not a paid deep state right wing person).”

But would a paid deep state right wing person admit to being a paid deep state right wing person? Now I am wondering if you are a paid deep state right wing person....

Q pointing out the media is compromised is not a sign of a scam, if you look into project Mockingbird. Literally, the CIA came out and said we need to take over the media. And given the CIA’s whole purpose is infiltrating things and taking them over, there is a fair chance they succeeded.

They are over 65 threads about Q since Feb 28th that have generated over 120,000 comments

peruse them and you will see the “discourse” is mainly the same 10 trolls on this thread.

CNN said there was a helicopter and a plane there

Actually, it was real time flight tracking software company Flightradar24 that identified the plane and the helicopter, and both Alaska airlines and Northwest Rescue service have confirmed.

But I'm sure that they're also part of the "deep state" cabal that's out to get you and your imaginary friend Q.

Or, to put it another way...
