Qanon Conspiracy theories

Status
Not open for further replies.
The confluence of interests enables Qanon conspiracists to launder ideas into the mainstream in potentially dangerous ways. Like many other social movements born on the chan boards, the Qanon movement has had undertones of violence. Weeks after Trump's 2016 election, a conspiracy believer armed with an AR-15 attacked a pizza restaurant in search of a pedophile ring he thought was being run from the basement. (The restaurant did not even have a basement.) The killing of a mob boss last year was linked to the alleged perpetrator's belief in Qanon, as were attempts to block the bridge next to Hoover Dam with an armored vehicle and to occupy a cement plant in Arizona. Internal documents reported last year show the FBI considers Qanon to be a domestic terrorism threat. The FBI said it does not confirm or deny the existence of an investigation.

The chan boards from which Qanon emerged have a long history of “raiding” behavior, in which users launch coordinated attacks on other online communities and platforms. In that context, it's not surprising that Qanon is active on social media ahead of the 2020 elections. What’s surprising is the level of organization that the Endchan and 8kun Qanon subcommunities are demonstrating.

Ridiculous, and ridiculous

Well, we all look silly now, right? Bubba's top-notch research skills have debunked that post. Like he did before.
Oh, wait.
I'm curious about where you got this "information" Snopes traces it to a BS satire site back in 2017:


Where did you read it?

Email, from a joker.

Sorry, Dont know where it started.

:rolleyes:

Bubba, beyond your being a living, breathing example of confirmation bias, can you show us your reasoning for your glib dismissal of a post that contradicts your so-far woefully unfounded claims and ideas?

Oh, and what does 'd5' mean?
 
Seen on that internet twitter thing...

“Justice.

Q”



Okay, has no one noticed that this is just a perfect post-diction justification for "success"? You could post this "prediction" any given week, and then just list all the prosecutions and convictions that happen that week as "hits".

Literally the only way this "prediction" could fail is if the entire US justice system does absolutely nothing for an entire week - no arrests, indictments, convictions, sentencing, or anything.

Q said y'all have been so patient that you deserve a preview


Do you think nothing is happening? You might want to think again. A week in review. Do you remember when Q wrote on Sunday February 9th of this week...

That would be good,

Actually, you haven't even begun to rationalise yet.
How about making a start?

I have a prediction for the United States in the coming week that demonstrates my own inside knowledge.


"Weather"
 
Oh, I predict that around 7,500 United States Citizens will die tomorrow along with about 150,000 foreigners.

If some terrorist finally sets off a nuke tomorrow, you're going to be in sooooooo much trouble :D

Nice.
To prove my own deep state sooper sikrit inside Q-style knowledge that only a sooper sikrit deep state insider could know, here's my own Q-Flop:

"Democrats".


And I'm not even American! How could I possibly know this? In your face, skeptics!

On another thread about a mass shooter in Germany who appears to have been a Qanon-supporter, user uke2se says,

This time in Germany.

Gunman who killed nine people is now said to have had a racist extreme right wing motive. He also talked about hidden bases in the US where children are tortured. He does not appear to be talking about the actual "bases" where children are being kept, but seems more likely to be talking about something akin to the Q-anon conspiracy theory.

By 'actual bases where children are being kept', I presume uke2se is talking about the military bases where detained refugee children are being sequestered, where the press and legal aid cannot freely access them or scrutinize the conditions in which they're being held.

Since he mentions this, it occurs to me that there is a very interesting effect here. Remember that we're dealing with people who waste no time taking a video of a National Guard vehicle convoy they see on the highway and declaring it to be on a UN takeover mission, or noticing a barbed-wire fence going up around a closed Walmart that is undergoing renovation or demolition and quickly declaring it to be a martial law FEMA camp. Intuitively, it would seem that children being literally, visibly bused en masse to military bases and therein completely disappearing from the public eye would be seized upon by these folks as incontrovertible evidence of the military/child abuse plot in action. And yet it is not: the children the Qanon plot alleges are being captured by government security forces and secretly abused on military bases are very clearly not the same as the migrant children who are publicly being captured by government security forces and (quite potentially) secretly abused on military bases; in fact it would appear that Qanon supporters don't care about the latter children at all, or even support or excuse what is being done to them when they're not denying it's going on despite the military's acknowledgment.

The reasons aren't a mystery of course - Qanon is intrinsically a Trump-supporting worldview, and Trump ordered the detention of the migrant children on military bases, therefore it is good; the young migrant children are, well, law-breaking brown people, so the abuse they suffer isn't outrageous like the suffering of the white American child-victims alleged by the conspiracy theory is. Nevertheless, I find the naked hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance utterly fascinating.

In the case where the citizen is threatening people with a loaded weapon while obviously off his nut, sure. Otherwise I can't imagine why you'd bring this up. This guy will never legally own a gun again, which would be good if I could believe he'd ever respect the law.

I'd hazard to say that those crazy enough to act upon their Qanon beliefs don't care much about the law.
