Cont: Qanon Conspiracy Theories Part Three

tumblr_o16n2kBlpX1ta3qyvo1_1280.jpg
 
Jackson Lahmeyer, a pastor from Oklahoma who is running for the US Senate (against GOP incumbent James Lankford who lost his party's support when he expressed doubt that the 2020 election was fraudulent) has been eagerly courting the QAnon vote as part of his campaign, even attending conspiracy-cons and associating with key QAnon figureheads like Lin Wood and (lately) Michael Flynn.

However, recently unwittingly made a fatal mistake that may cost him all of his easy-won support. Quite innocently, among the many campaign trail photographs that he has posted, he happened to include one of his daughter, and in that photo she happened to be wearing red shoes. This is a serious problem, because unbeknownst to Lahmeyer, at some point in the last few months QAnons have synthesized the belief that members of The Cabal photograph their children wearing red shoes as a coded message to other The Cabal members indicating that they are ritually molesting and sex-trafficking that child for Satan. So this full-MAGA Trump-worshipping church pastor is now having to defend himself online against a rapidly spreading rumor among the people that he has been pandering to that he is really a Cabal conspirator who secretly worships Satan and eats babies.

QA-con.

Gods, this makes so much not any sense that it makes anti-sense. What's this CT obsesseion with the conspirators broadcasting their crimes? I mean, obviously so that the CTers will know of it, but from the CTers' perspective, what's the purpose of this?

And there it was. I thought that red shoes were the only way to get out of Oz. Or was that another colour?

Likely, it's more believable to them because it's the kind of thing that they would do. It may be worth remembering that one of the main attractions to insane CTs is making up for lack of emotional... validation by means of being able to convince oneself that one is better than others because they see things that so many others don't. Another way of dealing with said problem is to show off in in-group ways that you don't think that others will get, again allowing one to convince themself that they're superior to the ignorant. Given the nature of that problem, it also notably enables projection for multiple reasons on top of that. The specific justifications then, are generally just window dressing.

To poke at the crowd in question, though, it's probably also worth noting that white supremacists and the like are fairly well known for engaging in such behavior.

Am I allowed to laugh in pure schadenfreude or should I find this frightening?

Alex Jones says that it's some type of galactic law, that the evildoers have to publicly post their evil plans. Like when you take out an ad in the newspaper before you foreclose on a tax lien, or close a dormant bank account.

No, I am not making this up. I just heard him talk about the "ad in the newspaper" thing last week.

He's actually not stupid, he's deliberately creating an argument for his audience to use.
 
I'm sure it's also easy to attribute it to a Riddler-style desire to cryptically announce one's evil plans in advance in order to feel smug about how nobody figured it out. Or to "someone on the inside" trying to sabotage the effort by leaving clues. Or to being so arrogant they think people should be expected to approve.

There's lots of ways to explain away the unrealistic.

It does rather raise the question of why, if all these conspiracies are announced well in advance, via globally-accessible sources, none of the usual CT talking heads have ever managed to thwart, or even mildly inconvenience, any of them?
 
Sure they have! All the predicted CT events that don't happen. Their clever vigilance prevented them.

The world never gets taken over by the Illuminati, the UN the New World Order, its always 'gonna happen soon'. I remember the near constant stream of fear over the communists who were going to take over in the 50-80's. Obviously that didn't come about

Fantastic!
So the Evil Them broadcast their Evil Intentions to do Evil Things Because Evil around the world. Then the plucky resistance, with their special clip-on sunglasses and swishy leather coats, watch the broadcasts, put up a YouTube video about it, and the entire plan falls through.
It seems like something of a flaw in the plan, to me, especially as they've supposedly been doing the same thing for decades, but constantly getting thwarted by something as trivial as a kid with a smartphone.
I blame NWO recruitment procedures. Plans like this need qualified staff. You just can't get decent people of hench* these days.

ETA: The NWO is an Evil Opportunities Employer, as I'm sure you all know.

They get a "code" that only they are smart enough to decipher. That's the whole purpose of CTs - they give their proponents the illusion that they're geniuses who have worked out how everything really goes down.

It also puts me in mind of the Evangelical hysteria about Satanism in the '80s. Evangelical radio and print was full of dire warnings about the imminent outlawing of Christianity - how the government was going to start rounding up the Born Again and shipping them off to camps. I remember reading one sensational bit of fundamentalist speculative fiction, set in the late '80s, that depicted a few Christian families gathered together in a basement for a secret church service. Suddenly sinister, heavily armed government agents from an agency specifically tasked with rooting out hiden Christians burst in and roughly arrest everyone. They're tossed into the backs of unmarked vans and driven for several hours to a heavily guarded, fenced compound in the middle of nowhere. There they're separated from their children, whom they're told will be sent to facilities to be "deprogrammed" of their religious beliefs, and are given the choice of publicly renouncing their beliefs or spending the resto of their lives incarcerated.

I remember when I first encountered excerpts and summaries of The Turner Diaries, I was reminded of the style of that story.
 
Ah, I remember when UNIX was going to be the next big OS, 'any day now'. Took about twenty years and a name change or two, but it sneaked in behind the scenes.

So stay alert, comrades, the take-over could sneak through when you're looking the other way... :eek:

Yes, the Bulgarians secretly control the world. Those sneaky bastards.
