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.”

I would be skeptical of an anonymous source claiming to be a high level insider who is purportedly communicating on behalf of a president who has no problem communicating directly to the people using riddles requiring interpretation and exhorts the believers ( who just happen to be conservatives) to “ trust sessions”, a guy who clearly is doing nothing, and to “trust the plan” which also is doing nothing positive that can be proved.

It should be obvious even to the die hard believers that the podesta brothers are not in a jail, hillary is not wearing an ankle bracelet and other such q claims are patently false. They have got the q believers so wrapped up in so many world wide conspiracies that they cant see what is going on here that is rather obvious, namely the clinton obama criminals are getting away with their crimes.

The most obvious candidates for q are deep state/left wing operatives who want to shield the ineffective sessions, corrupt rosenstein and wray from any criticism by claiming they are actually doing something behind the scenes, when in fact all they are doing is obstructing congress and the public from knowing the depth of FBI and DOJ corruption under obama, protecting the obama clinton criminals, and otherwise protecting the deep state and the gop establishment.

three things

1st

I would be skeptical of an anonymous source claiming/

yet you take the MSM, the kings of the 'anonymous source" that have been caught repeatedly lying to you, and you use them as your proof

2nd to quote free republics creator:

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.

no instead you surmise that Q is the left wing exposing on the internet all their misdeeds to trumps most loyal supporters as a distraction themselves, so I guess your theory is that the coordinates attacks by the propaganda arm of the DNC is to trick us, or maybe the MSM is really the Right wing proving Q is the left wing?

and 3rd, your premise is that Trump is out everyday working for the american people and sessions is sitting at his desk and Trump is too stupid or scared of the media to fire him? but he wasn't afraid to fire these people???

I am not sure who is going to be more upset when sessions is the one that drops the hammer, you stupid trolls that are oblivious to what is really going on behind the scenes because you still continue to believe the treasonous MSM or the actual MSM and democrats that for over a year Trump has seemingly antagonized Sessions and every-time the media has leapt to sessions side to defend him as a straight shooter

to quote Q

These people are STUPID.

Wrong. The very first Q thread I posted on, where I simply mentioned that, while I hoped it was true, I was leaning towards it being a hoax...I got a very nasty PM calling me a troll and all sorts of other stuff. It’s happened every time I have dared get on a Q thread and ask a question that may be seen as not carrying the Q water. I’ve been here since 1998. I called out Bush for who he was in 2005 (and took a lot of crap for it)...I don’t deserve that. Don’t lecture on tolerance.

Passionate debate leads to heated arguments on many FR threads. I've been here since 1998 as well so I'm well aware of this. To try to push this on the Q movement is being very disingenuous and misleading.

You also have to realize, there has been tons of info disseminated on those threads so if you barge in there with hoax talk, you better be able to bring proof as to why you believe that. All the Q threads have been about tearing apart info to see if Q is the real deal or not. So far, nothing of significance or good vetted info has lead us to believe it is a hoax.

Whining and crying about it on another thread does not do anything productive.

One Problem. I know about some things going on in the nation the Deep State doesn’t want anyone to notice. And they are open to being noticed, if people get paranoid enough of their government. Already I see some people posting on youtube accounts of what is going on. And the exposure of that will be the end of the Deep State.

For that reason, the Deep State really doesn’t want people looking with paranoia at things like Michael Hastings, or Andrew Breitbart, or whether the voting machines with remote access program installed on only some, in some precincts, might be used to hack an election.

Notice, when you guys make fun of the Q-followers, you make fun of their paranoia. It is almost instinctual for most citizens, because way back the CIA put out that the term “Conspiracy theorist” was going to be pushed, and those who got labeled with it were going to be mocked and ridiculed. Because people with power never conspire to control anything, and hide their efforts. If you think that happens, you have something wrong with you. The CIA says so.

And all these years later, look at the term the media uses to denigrate Q - ‘Conspiracy theory.” That very term is designed to make people reflexively dismiss possibilities that are not really that unlikely.

One final thought. All of you here report you hate each other because you took a position early on, and got attacked (often through private messages.) Well, others notice this too.

Somebody kept track of a thread on The_Donald, where they saved and highlighted all the messages getting erased by the moderators. The messages weren’t offensive - they were messages where innocent people tried to make peace between the people who were supposedly fighting. The moderators were trying to keep everyone fighting.

So one tactic we are seeing is somebody, Soros operators from Shareblue, Brock’s people at media matters, or somebody else in those leftist grass roots operations, trying to foment dissension, and even taking over the moderator positions on some of these boards and deleting people who tried to bring everyone back together to focus on the real enemy - the left:

https://snew.github.io/r/The_Donald/comments/942l7x/the_war_economy_on_twitter_q_anon_exposed_trump_q/

Keep in mind, the people who are hostile over Q may not necessarily be who you think they are - on both sides. None of us have reason to fight. Trump appears as a God-send. Leftists are committing suicide already, and the embrace of ultra-radical leftism isn’t going to make anything better for them. The media is totally impotent. And as our enemies are on the ropes, we are attacking each other.

I think if somebody attacks you over Q, ignore them, and post a factual, unemotional explanation of why you think what you think.

My own position is I think Q is related to Trump somehow. If I had to guess, I’d say he is probably is creating a second channel, where he can accuse politicians of the real corruption they are engaging in, without enduring all the media blowback doing it himself publicly would do. He can seed the population with the idea Hillary is a full blown traitor who sold our Uranium, Obama was a traitor of the Muslim Brotherhood, and lots of politicians were letting spies into their spheres to spy, in return for some kind of payoffs (DiFi). I think a lot of DC is unbelievably corrupt and Trump can’t actually say it openly, because the media would go apeshit. But through Q, those of us who think it is him, can get the idea that Feinstien may have had Chinese investments which exploded in value in return for her hiring a Chinese spook as her office manager, Hillary may have gotten 400 million in cash and more for the Clinton Foundation from Russians in return for her approval of our Uranium deal, and the whole if DC is a corrupt circle jerk betraying the nation in return for personal enrichment. There is a ton of that going on, and Q can point it out, many of us think it is Trump, and there is nothing the media can do to attack Trump over it.

My advice is, don’t engage each other directly or hostilely. Post your ideas, post the facts which support it, and leave it at that. We have bigger enemies than each other in this fallen nation infested with leftists, lawyers, and corrupted politicians.

fellow sane freepers....do not confuse the antics of juvenile posters on the qfreep threads with actual facts......

facts are facts and the fact is there is a deep state and there has been a monstrous effort to take out our prez..legally/illegally/physical...of this I am positive...

I urge people to ignore the qfreepers for the most part because they're not constructive/informative/friendly/inviting nor particularly fun...

go to other sites and join other threads because unfortunately, our FR Q thread has become a disgrace...

New York Radio talk host and the guy that set Rush up at KFBK, Tom Sulivan said on the day it was supposedly happening that it was fake.

Ambulances arrived early, before school was open, and none left for 12 hours.

The “shooter in the woods” had lunch with the police.

One has to be a total fool to accept the scam that the fake news presented.

Somehow i dont have to worry about sessions dropping the hammer on anyone. Trump will finally get tired of his inaction and fire him. Could be as soon as the mid terms are over, certainly no later than after new year.
