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.”

Still looking for the q-ists’ reasoning for “trusting Sessions.”

“July 2018- the month the world discovered the TRUTH...””

That truth being that “Q” is nothing more than a product of fantasy.

I must be behind the times. I don’t know anything about this Q thing. Maybe someone can fill me in with a quick explanation. Or I will search it on the web.

Personally, I tend to think you have to be singular kind of stupid to follow and buy into unnamed, anonymous, non-sourced,cryptic gobbledygook. Is it a ruse, false flag, troll? Probably, but regardless it is just stupid noise until sourced and verified.

If there had been any truth to the Obozo birth certificate story, wouldn’t Hillary have used it to keep him from knocking her out of the 2008 presidential nomination? I can’t see power-mad Hillary not using such information in her quest for the presidency.

Q is supposedly/claiming to be the Prez or someone very high in the WH who posts cryptic messages on an 8chan board. This Q claims there’s only about 10 of them, claims Jeff Sessions is a good guy, their master plan to expose Brennan,Clapper,Hillary,Comey,Strozk,Page,Lynch,Rice,Obama etc., is all going to plan so we can all relax and wait for the White Knight to appear and save the day.

This Q post pictures of the inside of Air Force 1 implying they took the photo and photos of other places where POTUS is/was.

Let’s see if I get this right.

One side says “Trust Sessions!” (Qooks, Schiff)

The other side says “my biggest mistake was Sessions.” (Trump)

Seems pretty clear to me who the useful idiots are. See tagline.

Q can’t be form the left, he is too easy to understand and makes sense.

K-14 twisted, maybe. Stay tuned

Sessions isn’t a stupid man so, we can rule out mental retardation.

He could be a member of the swamp club

or,

Most likely the swamp showed him his NSA file and said something like,” ooh Jeff, wouldn’t`t want the family and the public to find out about all those credit card charges to sexyladyboysall4u . com now would you? Why not just recuse yourself even though there is no reason to and go play in the little boy sandbox with the DoJ toys and leave the big stuff to us and Rosenstein.”

“That truth being that “Q” is nothing more than a product of fantasy.”

Is this simply your opinion, or can you prove this?

Yep, reminds me exactly of the Birth Cert nonsense that was going to end Obama’s future. Even if it was true (and we KNOW it came from Hillary Camp), it was never going to be enough to go against the combined Obama-Hillary engine.

Q has always felt like a planted story to me. Enough truth to keep people interested. In the end, never delivered on anything.

Again...just like the Birth Cert.

You are partially correct, it is very similar to the Birth Certificate situation and the Q story is not planted, at least not in a nefarious way.

The problem with the BC or any other government corruption or worse is getting us from Point A (government/other corruptions) to point B (charge with crimes, justice) when the deep state owns so much of the machinations that would require informing most of the public, in order to move on these corrupt folks.

When the deep state has so much in place like so many government officials, also including the enemedia, etc., they can protect themselves and all their bad actors. It makes in nearly impossible to get to point B like we witnessed with Hussein's BC.

At least we now have a glimmer of hope with electing President Trump to get to Point B. That's where The Great Awakening comes in to build a channel of communications which goes around the deep states machinations. It really is a thing of beauty to see play out.

Now, all the deep state machinations, including the media, is freaQing out because they know they could very well lose the narrative and the control they have over the American people. The attack on the Q movement is now an act of desperation because they know it risks more Americans understanding the corruptions they have helped to cover up.

I understand people can be taken in by the negativity of the deep state machinations on what The Great Awakening is about. Just be cautious on those who continue to attack it on Q thread, after Q thread, after Q thread without any facts to back up their assertions. The Great Awakening is a good thing in order for us to be able to get to Point B. Anti-Q trolls understand this as well.

FReegards!

I think it’s something like that. Probably just a hoax period.

It’s a hoax, started as a patriotic group on 4chan. Then it morphed, took on its own life. Used Corsi without letting him in on it, then let him in. Then he got disgusted and bailed. Tracybeanz same, but she still might be in. They fight amongst themselves, kick people out, move the board, change servers, rinse, repeat. When they kick you out, they turn on you. There js still a core group of about 5 of 6 left. They’ve made godawful mistakes (Hillary arrested, ankle monitor; CIA has controlled North Korea for years and has gone eogue, developing their kwn (CIA) nukes, etc) so put out “Disinformation is necessary (lol!!!!!)...but still have a big crowd of useful idiots that follow.

The Qooks here are a mean bunch. Some of the personal attacks on non-believers are appalling. They’ve driven people, good people, right off this board.

I can’t believe FR not only allows this junk, but gives them 3 threads per week. And I’ve been here off and on since 1997—before you had to register. Wrote Jim checks and sent via snailmail back then. After having to register, was freeper #32. I’ve seen a lot here.

Never seen it this stupid.

So much disinfo from you as well. Corsi was never a part of real Q, he invited himself in. When people weren't agreeing with his takes, he got mad, took his ball and went home.

The info about North Korea was huge and the messages being put out was well before anyone else knew what was going on. The North Korea stuff is all verifiable on the Q drops. Only people close to the President would have that kind of info early on.

There are many more proofs and pics where it could only come from those close to the President. Many are listed in this Praying Medic video on Youtube:

They want you DIVIDED.
DIVIDED by RACE.

DIVIDED by CLASS.
DIVIDED by POLITICAL AFFILIATION.
DIVIDED YOU ARE WEAK.

This movement challenges their ‘forced’ narrative.
This movement challenges people to not simply trust what is being reported.
Research for yourself.
Think for yourself.
Trust yourself.
This movement is not about one person or a group of people.
WE, THE PEOPLE.
You are witnessing a FULL PANIC ATTACK by the FAKE NEWS MEDIA & COVERT ALT MEDIA AFFILIATES (foreign gov’t).
They cannot contain or defeat what they do not understand.
Is any of this normal?
Think sealed indictments count.
Think resignations of CEOs.
Think resignations of Senators.
Think resignations of Congress.
Think termination of sr FBI…
Think termination of sr DOJ…
WATERGATE X1000
Attacks will only intensify.
Logical thinking.
