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.”

So if your Q movement is so harmless and benign why are the q people such insufferable, obnoxious, mean-spirited jerks to anyone who dares to question all this q stuff?

The majority of FReepers are getting tired of the q jerks fascist tendencies, rudeness, threats, cyber bullying, mentally unstable conduct and other assorted Q behaviours of which you know exactly what I am referring to. The sooner the q s are removed from FR the better the site will be. You brought it on yourself. Even the MSM sees an opportunity to again smear trump by exposing his supporters as q nuts, something the general public will find repulsive. Wheras russian collusion, stormy daniels and manafort didnt work, associating trump with Q people could actually be a problem for him.

And by the way we are not so stupid to fall for your post to which this is a reply. The fact is that q people are intolerant to a degree not seen in some time by conservatives.

The fact is that q people are intolerant to a degree...

I hope you can go back and read your post and appreciate the irony of that statement.

tol·er·ance ˈtäl(ə)rəns/ noun noun: tolerance 1. the ability or willingness to tolerate something, in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with.

People who are following The Great Awakening have been sharing this info with others here at FR, nothing more. It's people like you that have been the opposite of tolerance when it comes to these things. If you don't like it, you don't have to be so intolerant to the point, you whine and cry on Q threads about it.

Once again, I hope you appreciate the irony.

Classic projection due to panic.

Sorry, these are the times and you are here. Your world - our world - is being upended, Q or no Q. A state of flux is necessary for rapid change but it’s an inherently risky condition.

Q is trying to reassure us that there’s a team in charge at the top which knows what it’s doing. We sure as hell aren’t going to get anything like that from the MSM, are we? We’re starting to get a little bit of it from people like Hannity and Tucker, but that’s only because of growing public awareness driven at least partially by Q.

If you have underlying panic that Trump really doesn’t know what he’s doing and he is helpless to deal with Sessions and Rosenstein as they sink the ship of state - if that’s your bottom line then I can understand how you see Q as a Pied Piper for the right. You’re entitled to your stance but I choose differently.

when the anti Q trolls are using buzzfeed, the same paper that published the phony Trump dossier, as their “proof” they have truly jumped the shark.

Projection? Armchair psychiatrists are usually wrong.

I have no doubt that Trump is not helpless and that he will get rid of sessions when the time is right.

What nobody here that dismisses Q will address are two things.

One, Trump tweeted a photo of his staff, wit the filename “doitQ.jpg” Trump named that photo when he tweeted it.

Two, the firetruck that was numbered Q76 with the President at the receipt of the North Korean Hostages, right after Q’s post 76, which was an inspirational, here-we-go post.

Third, signs were being taken from most of Trump’s rallies, until the recent one where Q signs were allowed, and Trump would point to the people holding them and give a fist pump.

No doubt there is a lot of mist and fog around the Q phenomenon. I have no idea if there is going to be a massive housecleaning like they say, though 45,000 sealed indictments in seven months, when the norm is 1200 does have my curiosity piqued. As does the fact Q called peace with North Korea as a done deal, back when Trump was insulting Kim on twitter.

But regardless of the story Q tells, or what he says, he is undoubtedly coming out of the Trump administration, apparently with the knowledge and support of Trump. What the purpose is, I have no idea.

It is possible many of the famous faces we know in politics are going to get smoked for treason, and this is to prepare the nation for the shock. God knows there are those out there who have it coming.

Maybe Trump is just opening a channel to tell supporters things which will poison them against the system which is fighting him.

Maybe it is all a Deep State manipulation to keep us content, hoping something is going to be done as the nation falls to some evil cabal. We know it has been going that way for a while.

But it is something. We should be trying to figure out what, rather than dismissing something which is clearly coming either from Trump, or the Deep State.

You obviously dont read the reactions of the q people to anyone expressing skepticism. Bullying, insults, mean spirited jerks. Nothing more. The sooner these dirtbags are banned, the better FR will be.

There is no excuse for the misconduct of a great many of the q people. Your informal leader, ransomnote, even warned you all not too long ago about your bad behaviour towards others, but some low lifes just dont get the message.

The Q stuff is being exposed all over the MSM describing the pure idiocy of it all. Feel free to continue to be a part of it. Its a free country. But understand that soon most of the public will have a view of the q conspiracies that will force reputable sites like FR to disavow any connection. The q movement is not good for trump nor for FR.

BF is referencing a book. The authors of the book, you know, the guys who wrote it, are saying the similarities are too numerous to be coincidence.

It`s becoming embarrassing, laughable and amusing to watch the Qtips adandon critical thinking and descend into cognitive dissonance.

But you know that’s not the filename. It just contained the letters - and its clearly a generated filename - not a name a person/human would use. Not sure it’s even possible to give an image a particular name on twitter. But - these are the kind of coincidences that give these things wings. Especially when it gets digested down to q-advocated using misrepresentations and saying stuff like - “Trump tweeted a photo of his staff, wit the filename “doitQ.jpg” Trump named that photo when he tweeted it.” How do you help Q when you go off script like that? So many layers of assumption and story telling.

Kind of like they didn’t write the phony dossier they just printed?

Keep spinning you MSM mouthpiece. Tell us what MSNBC said about Q today?

Ufft~

Deflection, again?
Once more, your job is to debunk what the authors,Roberto Bui, Giovanni Cattabriga, Federico Guglielmi, and Luca Di Meo, are stating authoritatively about the exact similarities between the character in their book, Q and the one on the interweb and not deflect to Buzz or other media outlets.

Focus QTip,focus.

You can’t.

I don't have too, I already pointed out that you are quoting the MSM, like the New York Times the Washington Post CNN MSNBC et al.(see post 32 for the full list) and the very article on this thread you posted is from the same source as the Phony PEE PEE dossier, so anytime you want to explain why any legit freeper would believe anything you or the ENEMEDIA has to say we'll be waiting.

Until then I don't care what you think. I have always I have said go read Q and make up your own mind don't take my word. And don't take the word of a pathetic troll so desperate to find confirmation bias that fits his twisted view that he brings totally discredited sources and claims they are "proof"

with regards to your stupid article do you really need me to poke logic holes in your dumb premise that Q is the Left and that it is actually the left that is encouraging Trumps most ardent supporters to investigate and dig into and research of all the crimes and misdeeds the left has been up to for decades? seriously you're hanging your hat on that now?, hahahahahahahahahahaha?

PS we are the free thinkers you are the sheep. I make up my own mind you believe what the New York Times says to believe...

Forgive me for saying but with your intolerant posts, you act much more like a liberal than a FR conservative. Seriously, you failed to get the message where it is you that is being very intolerant of other people's views and info.

You, like a liberal, are painting many of us who have put in the hours and work to understand this good movement, with one broad stroke. You realize, liberals do this to conservatives all the time.

Another thing is how you Alinsky-ize this good movement calling us names and ridicule it. It's nothing what you say and look where this anti-Q article is coming from, straight from the corrupt deep state machinations, itself.

I posted the definition of tolerance to you for a reason since you claimed we were intolerant. That is JUST NOT TRUE and it appears you are projecting. Liberals project all the time I've noticed when I've battled them all around the net over many years.

I'm not sure what your ax to grind with on The Great Awakening but there are those of us who understand it, with it being a good thing for the American people. It is nothing what you say and we have just as much right to share our good info with others here. Too bad you are the one very intolerant of all this.

Sadly true. It really is sad some FReepers fall for the propaganda. We of all people should understand who are these bad players of the deep state/swamp are and avoid them like the plague.

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

I suggest you reread the posts in this thread. They describe the completely unacceptable conduct to which i refer see post 37. . It would also enlighten you as to how Freepers are pretty much tired of the q group bullying.

As for calling me a liberal, good try. No name calling will excuse bad behavoir.

You apparently missed my point about the mainstream media stories on Q. This press activity is not the Deep State trying to harass Q people. (Look up Confirmation Bias.This totally occurs by q people. Any criticism proves the conspiracy). This is the left wing media people trying to influence voters to view Trump as a nut for being associated with q people.

Try looking up occams razor. The simplest possible explanation is almost always the correct one. That theory alone would totally disqualify q posts since they depend on a complicated convoluted amount of deciphering and decoding and interpretation.

Like i said before, feel free to do your thing. Just dont attack others that dont fall for this stuff. You might also consider reading the story that someone posted at the top of this thread about how the Italian left wingers invented Q years ago to punk the right wing, right down to the very same tactics used in this Q anon thing now. Trust sessions? Yeah, right. If thats not a left wing concept I dont know what is.
As for Trusting the Plan, I havent seen any arrests or charges of the clinton obama cabal. Have you? And by the way the staute of limitations is running. The Plan better get with the program or it will be too late.

Attack???

Wow, you are the champion of projecting. Is it not you attacking FReepers about this good movement???

I didn’t call you a liberal, I said you are acting very much like one. If the shoe fits, well....maybe you ought to step back and look at the perspective.

Truth is, I have battled lots of liberals around the WWW and it’s a very good observation I posted. Sorry if that hurts your feelings but liberals also base many things on feelings. Crying and whining about things is also something liberals do all the time to get their way.

Once again, you are projecting by sweeping all those with a broad brush calling us intolerant. Do you realize liberals do this all the time??? You are going to have to wake up and realize it is not us who are the ones intolerant, it’s people like you who have been intolerant of other FReepers posts and info. Step back and reread your posts and see how intolerant they are, and how much of your posts line up with being liberal-like, these days.

Sincerely,

CGato

why don't you try that fantasy interpretation on a thread that isn't trying to use that same MSM info as their 'proof' and isn't harassing those that don't buy the MSM'S latest talking points.

PS I already I already used confirmation bias in post 55, it is what you all are trying to do with these ridiculous posts from sources laughed off of freerepublic for two decades for being the antithesis of everything conservative, that you all now so eagerly and desperately have jumped in bed with.
