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.”

“Rumor is the Q’s are going dark. School is starting back up.”

When Q went silent for about two weeks in July, I assumed that he was away at summer camp.

I’m just saying that people who follow Qanon (and other conspiracy theories) believe that the Sandy Hook shootings were a conspiracy and that the kids were actors - just like the LV shooting.

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

Like Saul upon the road to Damascus, the scales have fallen
from my eyes and finally I can see clearly the truth of the matter.

Obviously nobody should sass any of the Q disciples because they
are on a mission from God and if you disagree, why then you're
just a dirty anti-Trump troll who should go and die in a ditch.

I feel ten pounds lighter and six months younger having finally figured that out.

Wan't a revelation of your own? Better call Saul!

Oh, surely.

Please stop calling me Surely.

I'll take that as a fanatical reaction to criticism.

checked the MSM,aka FoxNews, no report of rogue ICBMs or missiles flying around.
Checked Gateway,HotAir,WeazelZippers,Instapundit,Frontpagemag,Spectator,powerline,legal insurrection,Breitbart, NOTHING.

Now tell us they’re all in on the conspiracy with the MSM to not report something so extraordinary.

MSM says it's a plane...

Wait a minute.

I thought they said it was a helicopter shining a really bright light down from inside the clouds.

Wish they'd make up their minds.
