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 dont know if the Italian Q story is what is going on with this Q anon stuff but it does ring a bell doesnt it? Left wingers inventing Q, named after a top top secret security classification,supposedly a high level official seeking to spread good intelligenct to,patriots. Sound familiar? Sounds like Q anon to me.

And then Italian Q intentionally feeding info that helps the left wing by neutralizing criticism against right wingers who arent doing their duty. You know, like “trust sessions”. Why trust a-guy that has done nothing to bring the clnton obama deep state criminals to justice? How about “trusting the Plan” until the statute of limitations runs out?

Whether the q anon is just a bunch of left wingers having fun at the expense of conservatives like the article describes remains to be seen but it seems plausible. And it makes a lot more common sense than Pres Trump sending secret coded messages to his supporters when he can just tweet out his thoughts. Its not like any of the Q posts are secret is it?

Really, which scenario makes more sense?

You may be innocent of harrassing q skeptics. That does not mean my comments are any less valid. I did not state that EVERY q person misbehaves. Sheesh!

So... folks who voted for Trump, support Trump and will vote for him
again are now just a bunch of trolls who ought to go die in a ditch
because they don’t buy into the Q stuff?

Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s a winning strategy.
You stick right with that, you betcha.

I don’t accept your premise and you don’t have an unbiased point of reference
I don’t accept either theory that the MSM and your ilk has tried to discredit Q with.

what’s more likely the MSM is telling you the truth or they aren’t?

I mean do you really believe Rolling Stone magazine is looking out for your best interests when they tell you:

As QAnon Goes Mainstream, Trump’s Rallies Are Turning Darker
Under Trump, conspiracy theories and an all out assault on the truth have created a strange new reality

It is stunning to me how many ppl in this #TRUMPTAMPA crowd have QAnon signs or t-shirts. That is not a healthy sign for GOP or for America.

4:23 PM - 31 Jul 2018

PS again I will point out that Trump could at anytime end Q with a single tweet, but you keep clinging to that theory that Q is the left wing revealing their own crimes and corruption as a “distraction”

I think the more the MSM tries to connect Trump with Q followers by describing the Q beliefs the more likely that at some point Trump will disavow any real connection to them. Right now trump is celebrating anyone that attacks his detractors. We’ll see how long that lasts as more info about q becomes known to the general public.

I hope not but it sure reads that way. Regardless, you should understand, by now, in any debate there is going to be passion spilled over. It happens here all the time. We just have to try to be calm and cool about it and do the best we can to inform ourselves. It's our personal responsibility to try to get it right, especially when it comes to the defense of our Constitutional Republic.

Q just posted drop #1825 where FReepers need to take note. It provides a link and info about a foundation that was set up to pay off right-wing journalists and influencers to go anti-Q. That's very disturbing given how this really happened where some were supporting The Great Awakening and all of a sudden, did a 180 and went anti-Q. I hope they are enjoying their 30 pieces of silver.

It just goes to show just how evil these globalists are running the deep state and how much power they have over Americans. If you fell for any of these Benedict Arnold's, you have the power to correct that. We are going to find out the things these deep state corrupters did was far worse than we can ever imagine. That is why they are desperate and are fighting so hard to keep Americans misinformed.

Q often reminds us indirectly as We The People are the Fourth Branch of Government so we do have to power to take these evil people down if we can stay united. Divided is what they want, especially with all their socially-engineered conflicts in this country they created. Please take the time to understand this is a good thing and really, We The People, are Q.

It’s nothing about that but spin from the evil side you seem to have bought in to. Go read my last post.

Please don’t take my quote out of context to try to prove your point. Did you even read my last post? Much of the disinfo about Q, has been exposed with not just coming from the left, it was set up coming from the Benedict Arnold’s on the right as well. If you got caught up in their lies and deceptions (which you have because they are) you have the power to correct this.

They did the same thing when Donald Trump announced he was running for president. The lies and deceptions was also coming from those who were supposed to be on the right (that’s the kind of evil and their power we are dealing with). We know the truth to all that now so please, don’t let them do that to us again.

Fool me once, shame on you....

It was about attitudes and behaviors of Q adherents here on Free Republic.

Think logically.

————————-

Dont you think this is just a little too convenient? Q claiming that any criticism is fake deep state inspired. Right after a raft of critical MSM stories all across the country.

Dont know about you but this seems to me more gut feeling that this whole q thing is as phony as the day is long. Only a scam would suggest any criticism of the scam is not legitimate. And not one right wing journalist offered a bribe turned it down and wrote about it? I call BS. I have heard a lot of BS in my day and this sets off the BS detector off the charts.

This q report should disturb you. I acknowledge you are well meaning. But this should cause all decent well meaning people to start to do some serious soul searching about this whole q thing.

(And PS, i am not a paid deep state right wing person).

Wow, it’s Candidate Trump’s election all over again where you had those here who were arrogant, very misinformed, some very closed-minded and of course, the Benedict Arnolds who did it on purpose.

The truth will win out though, just like with our Great President and all he is doing for We The People.

You can’t. You simply deflect reflexively. Who cares if the dominant media (they are NOT mainstream) get it wrong 80 % of the time or whatever. The story quoted the authors of the book Q which is 100% accurate.

Focus Qtip, debunk the authors:

“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.”

None of which has to do with the behavior of Q adherents on the Q threads.

Curious that you keep bypassing this issue.

One wonders why.

Much of what you post is wrong. Other FReepers and I have put in the time to understand it and understand why you are wrong. Please don’t be intellectually lazy when there is plenty of good vetted info and links on the Q threads.

Sincerely,

CGato

Because there really isn't anything to wonder about. Debate stirs passion, it's human nature and par for the course here. To try to just pin it on people who follow Q is disingenuous and a weak argument.

FReegards,

Sure as long as you look at both comments, are we going to look at the multiple troll posts on every single new Q thread or are we going to pretend that the responses to the comments calling everyone idiots are 'attacks', Like when the MSM claim Trump attacks the "fake news"?

I already did try and keep up

But seeing as you can’t read and asked again i’ll answer again.

Tell us how Q is a left wing hoax distracting Trump supporters by exposing the left’s corruption as your stupid article by the publisher of the PHONY RUSSIAN DOSSIER alleges.

LOL
