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.”

before I continue want to confirm that by only responding to 1/3 of my comment you cede the other two points...

Some of us have better things to do with our time than debating a bunch of religious fanatics.

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...

The more I engage with the q people the more I realize how detached from reality they are. They truly inhabit their own little world. How sad and pathetic.

That is just NOT true. I've stayed up til very early in the mornings reading almost every post (have to catch up with the latest because of the primaries yesterday but I'll get Qaught up).

The Q threads have been fairly civil for the most part. When it does become a little uncivil, ransomnote and others have been good about getting things back under control. Much of the unrest comes from the anti-Q trolls who barge in there trying to disrupt the conversations.

Like I mentioned earlier, there is a ton of info being disseminated and vetted there. It's like any conversations with a group of people in real life.

Try to be informed of what is being discussed, be civil, politely inject info to be disseminated, good or bad and most of the time you won't have any problems. If one barges in there without doing any of these things, it's just like in real situations, that is considered rude.

Don't be surprised if some FReepers call that person out on that behavior as many wouldn't act rude like that in a real situation so why there.

You are very wrong on your assessments of those threads.

You can tell most of the q people are in fact juveniles since adults are at work during the day or are retired. This q stuff is mostly kids. They like the decoder stuff. No logic, no reasoning, no common sense. Its kids.

for the idiots that say sessions is doing nothing, they should really say they aren't smart enough to see what is truly happening

I pulled this out of the Wolfe Indictment, they have been watching them for a long time notice the FBI approached Wolfe in October of 2017

troll repellant

>>>combine that with this old article from July of 2017

Trump and the Canary Trap

To summarize it describes how you catch a leaker by giving several documents out with slightly different details like the date, then when that story with the incorrect date appears in the media you know the leaker and who it was leaked too

Jeff Sessions: We're investigating 27 leaks of classified information

"Members of the committee, we had about nine open investigations of classified leaks in the last three years," Sessions said. "We have 27 investigations open today. We intend to get to the bottom of these leaks." Later, he described the numbers in more detail, saying the Obama-era DOJ investigated "three per year" while the Trump-era DOJ has "27 ongoing investigations." Leak investigations could result in criminal prosecutions or other punitive actions.

>>>Now take that info and look at these stories<<<

Dec 2017 CNN corrects story on email to Trumps about Wikileaks

When first published Friday morning, the story, written by senior congressional correspondent Manu Raju and politics reporter Jeremy Herb, said the email was sent to the Trumps on September 4, 2016. It was corrected to say that the email was actually sent on September 14, one day after WikiLeaks made the documents public. >>>And this article about some of the many correction The NY Times had to make

If the New York Times is so inaccurate, where are all of its corrections?

Trump and Putin Connect, but Avoid Talk of Lifting U.S. Sanctions, Jan. 28. Incorrect date
Sean Spicer, Trump Press Secretary, Is ‘Not Here to Be Someone’s Buddy’, Jan. 29. Incorrect detail

From Trump the Nationalist, a Trail of Global Trademarks, Feb. 21. Incorrect detail
Trump Ruled the Tabloid Media. Washington Is a Different Story., Feb. 25. Incorrect detail

Maybe telling us again about your degree, it obliviously wasn't anything dealing in observation or logic.

seeing as you think Q is a religion why don’t you take your show on the road over to a religious thread, you can call them all idiots for believing and having faith then you can cry that you were attacked when they fight back...

Sir, you are in denial when it comes to your q peoples behavior. Just read this thread alone and count the name calling.

I am now convinced that they are kids. That explains not being at work, using no commen sense, no logic, the love of decoder gaming. It actually explains a lot. Mostly, adults dont have all day to be playing on the internet so my conclusion is, its mostly kids at play. All the more reason to ignore them.

Very good points edzo4. It really is hard to understand why some of these people can't figure it out for themselves.

It is well established on Free Republic, the media IS the enemy of the American people and why would these people fall back on them time and time again, (conditioned maybe?). Unless they are doing it on purpose, that would explain the irrational behavior.

Also see my last post but the more you post the more you convince me you are a liberal. You get waaay too offended to be a conservative. Name calling??? Really??? You are acting way more like a snowflake liberal than a conservative here.

FWIW, I really could care less if you are offended by the name calling and such. Political correctness has NO place on a conservative forum.

can you say hypocrite??? Sure you can

poor wittle snowflakes dish it out but can’t take it..

Now I didn’t go to all the other Q threads that hokeydonkey has trolled these are just from this thread:

“My problem with the q peoples intolerance is the name calling, insults, bullying and other mean spirited attacks, mentally unstable behavoir (SIC)and other anti social personality traits that are demonstrated towards any q skeptic by the q people.”

“Enough of the q name calling, insults,bullying, threats and the rest of their uncivil, unstable behavior.”

“You can tell most of the q people are in fact juveniles”

“The more I engage with the q people the more I realize how detached from reality they are. They truly inhabit their own little world. How sad and pathetic.”

“Some of us have better things to do with our time than debating a bunch of religious fanatics.”

“Hey rocket scientist”

“Only in the mind of the intellectually deficient, highly gullible”

“q supporters are conspiracy nuts”

Definitely a staged gun-grabber event.

Don’t know how many kills they made, if any, but without question it was staged as all of these “shootings” are.

The ambulance watch at Sandy was well manned (lots of witnesses)

The “Q club” lost Col Potter several months ago.

Don’t see any of the experienced reliable covert military freepers (Travis, Interesting times) supporting any of this.

Did I miss it?

Wow, just Wow. So, how come none of those kids’ parents finally went to the NY Post with an exclusive? Looking for a payout? Oh, right, the government would have cracked down on them, got it. So where are the kids now? In hiding?

If they are covert how do you know?

Besides not being a lemming I make up my mind based on my own life experience and reasearch, not what the msm or some random person on the internet tells me I should think

Yeah, my 20+ years military service made me easily offended! Hahahhaha

Repeat after me:

1. Not being a q believer does not make one a liberal
2. Not being a q believer does not make one a troll

Now give the laptop back to mama and go back down to your room in the basement. Playtime is over. And go do your homework and stop wasting time decoding riddles written by people to mock you.

I didn’t say you were a liberal snowflake, per se, but you sure are acting more and more like one.

Take all the projection in your post to me, you are accusing others of what you are actually doing, very liberal-like.
