Well, I saw CNN’s “How a right-wing conspiracy theory is going mainstream” article last Thursday morning, I knew I’d better get over to Freeperville tout suite’!
Trump base latches onto ‘Q’ internet conspiracy cult

Energized by the internet persona Q’s complex web of conspiracy notions about the forces aligned against President Donald Trump, Q’s followers have spread virally online and now, in real life too, forming a movement known as QAnon.
From somewhere in the vast and mysterious “deep state,” a dissident agent rises up to give the people cryptic clues about how their heroic president will push back the forces of evil and make America great again. The renegade informant is known only as “Q,” and if he actually exists, it’s not as a character in a movie, but somewhere in the Washington, D.C., bureaucracy.
Energized by Q’s complex web of conspiracy notions about the forces aligned against President Donald Trump, Q’s followers have spread virally online and now, in real life too, forming a movement known as QAnon that is making itself visible at Trump’s rallies and other public gatherings.
QAnon is the latest in a string of conspiracy ideas that take hold of the public’s imagination in times of social stress and technological change. And QAnon is something new, a leaderless popular movement made up of people who believe in no one and therefore are willing to believe almost anything.
To believers, Q is a pseudonym for a well-placed U.S. government agent who is posting online distress messages and bits of intel, known as “breadcrumbs,” in an effort to save the country — and Trump — from hostile forces within the government. Q’s missives started appearing last October on 4chan, the mostly anonymous website where fringe ideas incubate and blossom….

To: 2ndDivisionVetAs I’ve written before, this crackpot conspiracy BS is going to bite people. I won’t be surprised if it doesn’t turn out to be some kid in his parent’s basement. Or, worse, some Never Trumper or Democrat playing people. Either way, anonymous sources and authors is bad news and often lead to bad results: Fake News.

Sorry, I vehemently disagree. I believe Q is military intelligence preparing America for some bad s—t.

Military intelligence? In one of its first droppings
Heh.

To: Extremely Extreme ExtremistThen Q needs to speak clearly, or not speak at all. This indecipherable crap just makes us look like lunatics for paying attention to it

To: 2ndDivisionVet“How did you think the media was going to cover this once they were forced to?”Pretty much like this, but perhaps with a false flag attempt or two involving “Q” shirt wearing perps thrown in, to bolster the coordinated “stupid, crazy, violent, dangerous” narrative.
When that doesn’t set us all against each other,
