QAnon supporters have acted with dismay and confusion after Donald Trump announced the December dates of his upcoming speaking tour with Bill O'Reilly, which coincides with when he is meant to have already been reinstated as president.
6/20/21

QAnon is squirming again. They believe Trump will become President this August, but wait what's this? Trump is planning a speaking tour in December with O'Reilly? Oh no, both can't be true can they? :lol: :icecream:

On Sunday, December 4, 2017, a 28-year-old white man named Edgar Maddison Welch drove to DC from his hometown in Salisbury, North Carolina and walked into Comet Ping Pong carrying a Colt AR-15 assault rifle as well as a Colt .38 handgun, a shotgun and a folding knife. Welch pointed the rifle at an employee and demanded to be taken to the basement to free the children imprisoned there. The employee ran and Welch fired into the floor. Fortunately, the bullet did minor damage. The employee called the police. Meanwhile, other employees caught inside with Welch did their best to convince him that Comet Ping Pong did not have a basement. The police arrived and a 45-minute stand-off ensued as Welch walked around the establishment looking for a basement door. When he was confident that the employees were truthful about there being no basement and unable to locate any children being held prisoner, Welch walked outside and turned himself over to the police. He later stated his firm belief that the Clintons regularly murdered and presumably ate children.

On December 6th, Michael G. Flynn abruptly resigned from his post on Donald Trump’s transition team. Flynn had been chief of staff at his father’s company, Flynn Intel Group. When Trump appointed the senior Flynn as his national security adviser, the junior Flynn was brought aboard to assist his father. Exactly what he did was not widely known even to those inside the Trump inner circle (or so they said). One thing, however, that Michael G. Flynn was fast becoming infamous for was tweeting bizarre conspiracy theories. The transition team was becoming wary of Flynn’s postings. People were beginning to notice and that was not a good thing. Only a day after Edgar Welch was arrested at the Comet Ping Pong pizzeria, Flynn tweeted:

Until #Pizzagate proven to be false, it'll remain a story. The left seems to forget #PodestaEmails and the many "coincidences" tied to it. https://t.co/8HA9y30Yfp

This was only one of 16 conspiracy tweets that Flynn had posted since August. Another one of those tweets asserted that Florida senator, Marco Rubio, who ran for the Republican nomination against Donald Trump, was a gay cocaine-abuser, for which Flynn produced no proof. Both Flynns were known to post bizarre conspiracies and appeared to firmly believe them. The so-called Pizzagate tweet attracted so much attention that Trump himself became uncomfortable with Flynn’s posts fearing they would end up smearing the senior Flynn whom Trump was dead-set on installing as his national security adviser. Trump ordered Flynn junior fired. Flynn had just posted a tweet that Edgar Welch was an “actor” whose purpose was to discredit the child sex trafficking story. At 3:30 p.m., Flynn’s tweet ended in mid-sentence. After that, Trump adviser, Stephen Miller, stated that Flynn no longer worked on the Trump team and had resigned. He must have resigned seconds before he was to be fired. Miller’s statement contradicted Trump’s vice-president’s earlier statement that the junior Flynn had never worked for the Trump team. Hence, the Trump presidency and QAnon were both off to a flying start.

The beliefs prevalent among the followers of Q are a hopeless mass of contradictions. They claimed Trump’s election in 2016 was legitimate despite every American intelligence agency finding that the Russians had assisted the Trump campaign (which led to Michael Flynn getting sacked from his post as Trump’s chief of National Security for not disclosing his Russian connections for which he later went to prison); yet, QAnon insisted that Biden’s win over Trump in 2020 was fraudulent despite that fact that no evidence was ever produced to back up the claim which were made in lawsuits of which the courts shot down more than five dozen in several states. In the wake of the 2020 election, QAnon supporters called for Trump to declare martial law and yet were infuriated at the idea of states enacting a pandemic lockdown to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. They insisted that the virus was a hoax but also insisted it was no worse than a flu. They praised Trump for his role in hunting down the satanic pedophiles ensconced in the government and in Hollywood and yet ignored Trump’s clear predilection for teenaged girls including his own daughter, Ivanka. His close friend, Jeffrey Epstein, was proven to have a harem of teenaged girls (which led to his imprisonment) and Trump certainly knew this when he was quoted in a 2002 New York magazine profile of Epstein: “I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”

Many assert that Q is a military operation. Indeed, some military people are firm believers or appear to be. Michael Flynn and his son are examples. Some believe Q is a CIA spook named Robert David Steele who talks like Alex Jones on a bad day. To Steele, Covid-19 is a hoax, Sandy Hook was a hoax pulled off with the help of “crisis actors,” the Boston bombing was a hoax perpetrated by FEMA as a dry run to see if they could search places door-to-door without a warrant, the raid on Osama bin-Laden was “a false flag” for “Obama’s reelection theater.” He believes that Barack Obama, Leon Panetta (CIA director under Obama), Hillary Clinton, John Brennan, Joe Biden, James Comey and a host of others should all be executed. “The list is long,” he laughs. He further stated that JFK, Jr. and his wife are both still alive and faked their deaths to escape from Mossad who are apparently under contract by Hillary Clinton to kill Kennedy because she could never win any office in New York that he was also running for. Steele expressed admiration for lawyer Sydney Powell whose “Kraken” strategy to overturn the 2020 presidential election and give it to Donald Trump failed spectacularly and was thoroughly discredited. Steele called QAnon “the single greatest information operation in the history of humanity.” Steele believes that Flynn, who was pardoned from prison by Trump in December 2020, should be director of the CIA. Steele is convinced that children are sexually abused but also ritually tortured to produce adrenochrome in their blood which the deep state actors consume in order to stay young and virile.

All of Steele’s talking points are also standard QAnon talking points but he was spouting them about a year before the Q began his “Q-drops” on 4chan. While Steele does not identify himself as Q, he claims to know many of the secret players in the Q operation and states that QAnon has been in the planning for years. Steele states that rather than worry about who Q is, we should rather be concerned about “The Great Awakening” which he says is when the People finally realize that if they do not govern themselves then they will end up slaves. The problem with this is that those Americans who identify themselves as part of QAnon have shown no interest in governing themselves but rather they want to be governed by Donald Trump. They are the same small government phonies who only want government out of their lives when the president is a democrat. When the president is republican, they want him to use every last vestige of his executive power to force their self-approved changes (outlawing abortion and gay marriage, etc.) over the entire country and on every American citizen. When Donald Trump unleashed federal law enforcement officers (little more than uniformed baton-wielding “jack-booted thugs”) on protesters in places as Portland and Kenosha in 2020, the small-government crowd and the NRA conveniently forgot to protest this blatant example of the federal government overstepping its boundaries beating people indiscriminately and carting them off to prison. The very scenario the NRA had railed about for years. Quite suddenly, they were all for it.

Steele stated that there are 12 people involved in the running of QAnon and five people who write the posts or Q-drops. He virtually always mentions Q and Michael Flynn in the same breath. When asked about his possible association with Thomas Schoenberg whom Manny Chavez claimed to work for in the Cicada hacking group, Steele instead replied that he would not talk about that individual and abruptly ended the interview.

While Pizzagate is not QAnon, strictly speaking, QAnon has coopted Pizzagate. One might call Pizzagate the forerunner of QAnon—particularly in the idea that the aristocrats of the world are running a huge child-trafficking operation and engaging in the cannibalizing of children. This particular angle has its roots in Europe since at least medieval times when Christians accused Jews of that very crime e.g. Jews abduct Christian children before a given Jewish holiday and then sacrifice and eat them. There may be a more recent source however. The 2014 book, Cannibalism, Blood Drinking & High-Adept Satanism by Kerth Barker. The book is right up the alley of QAnon. Barker is a devout Christian who believes in the illuminati and a pervasive network of rich Satanists. He makes a lot of unfounded claims such as:

“Although they may not openly identify themselves as Satanists, the Skeptics movement and Transhumanism have their roots in Satanism. The atheistic rhetoric of the Skeptics movement sounds similar to Atheistic Satanism, and this is not a coincidence. The Transhumanists wish to use computers, robotics and genetic engineering to create a new species that will displace humanity; Julian Huxley, who founded the Transhumanist movement, was a member of a Luciferian secret society.”

There is, of course, no evidence that skeptics or transhumanists are, in any way, connected to Satanism nor that Huxley, an evolutionary biologist of great renown in the middle of the 20th century, belonged to any Luciferian secret society. But this is the stuff of which QAnon is made. That and Christianity. QAnon is largely perpetuated among the general population as a Christian conspiracy as virtually all rightwing conspiracies are. The following Q message demonstrates:

It is our hope that this message reaches enough people to make a meaningful impact. We cannot yet telegraph this message through normal methods for reasons I’m sure everyone here can understand. Follow the questions from the previous thread(s) and remain calm, the primary targets are within DC and remain at the top (on both sides). The spill over in the streets will be quickly shut down. Look for more false flags — stay alert, be vigilant, and above all, please pray.

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Love is patient, love is kind.”

God bless my fellow Americans

If the people behind the Q phenomenon are not Christians, they at least understand how important it is to the demographic that they pedal this propaganda to.

Good stuff. Hope I'm not getting repetitive / boring, but here goes...
  1. As to the origins of QAnon, the HBO documentary probably nailed it down to Ron Watkins, the longtime administrator of the 8kun message board as linked most recently by Mr. Marks.
  2. That is no longer relevant as Q has not posted anything since 12/8/20. The direction of QAnon is now decided by a mob.
  3. A very sizeable mob. QAnon has become more popular in America than Judaism, Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism combined as posted earlier.
  4. The QAnon religion appears to be convinced that Trump will be installed as POTUS in August of 2021.
  5. FWIW, I predicted violence around 1/6/2020 several weeks in advance and now fear it may happen again in September once this new religion realizes # 4 did not happen as prophesized by themselves.

The timing of this Trump Presidential Installation is becoming more clear. Mike Lindell is hosting a summit on 8/10 - 8/12/21 where he promises to provide irrefutable proof of massive election fraud. He has been promising that for over 6 months.
Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow, announced his Cyber Symposium on election fraud in the 2020 Election is being held in the Republican stronghold of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Lindell promises his Cyber Symposium will be the definitive answer to election fraud. Cybersecurity experts from at least 6 other countries will attend the August 10-12 event. Lindell firmly believes that Trump will be reinstated as president via one of three legal avenues.

7/6/21
https://www.newstrail.com/mike-lindells ... oux-falls/
Lindell previously stated Trump would be reinstated in August. Then he backed off briefly, stating it might happen in September. But now Lindell is so confident in his symposium that he predicts Trump will be reinstated the very next day!
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell claims that by the morning of Friday, 13 August, Mr Trump will be president again and it "will be the talk of the world".

7/6/21
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/worl ... 79276.html
=> Beware of increased violence starting 8/14/21.
Safe bet: After yet another massive failed prediction, QAnon will continue to evolve. :P
