What is QAnon?
We are always hearing about this mysterious group QAnon. Most of us have no idea who they are, but if you watch leftist cable news, you hear about it and it is always used to smear Donald Trump.
Let's see:
Supposedly it all began in 2017, when an anonymous user put a series of posts on the message board 4chan. The user signed off as "Q" and claimed to have a level of US security approval known as "Q clearance". Again, I have to use the term "supposedly, the traffic on mainstream social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and YouTube has exploded since 2017, and indications are the numbers of members/believers may be in the thousands. The total population of the United States was 330,150,668 at the December 2019 Census, so "thousands" of kooks would be a tiny number. Normal human beings have little knowledge of this group, yet those on the left constantly talk about it.
What do they believe?
You name it!
Starting with "an evil cult ruling the planet."
Former President Donald Trump received his COVID-19 booster shot, and told supporters during an event in Dallas on Sunday. Hearing some boos in the audience, the ex-president dismissed them, according to video posted to social media. Speaking for the vast majority of Trump supporters, I welcome the announcement and that is the example we all want to follow.
The media focused in on a few boos.
For the reporters who felt the need to note the boos, all I can say is stop the hate and stop dividing the country.

So instead of praising the former President, the media focused on boos.
Google QAnon and note the news organizations reporting on it.

What page?
None of those was on page 1 or 2.
Is Google biased?
or 2, or 3, or 4, or 5.................well you get the picture. Saw some WaPo, NYT, Vox, BBC, the Atlantic, The Guardian, CBS News............etc.
It is a little tougher for us to use Google.

Who cares what page?
Many of those MSM articles are condemning a FOX talking head known as Tucker
for not only giving QANON a national platform
but defending them at every turn.
Very doubtful, but they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder...
That's right. Those are the rules!
Who cares what page?
I do.
Very doubtful
Lol.
There’s always Bing and Duck Duck Go or Good Gopher.
Great links, thanks!
(Although I personally might not open all of them because ("as people are saying") I have a severe case of FDS!)
Excellent comment!
I know I can speak for most NT users:
We are all grateful for comments like that-- keep up the good work!
(Perhaps a Random Act of Newstalker-ness is in order, eh?)

Wow-- 7 likes!
Good for you!!!
No one (outside of Google..and perhaps a few smart hackers) what is the Algorerhythm Google uses for placement (ranking which page of results any particular article of results something falls on).
it used to be widely known-- but now Google keeps it secret!
Let's break up Google. Add it to the agenda for 2024.
So... Are you advocating a return to some kind of fairness doctrine Vic?
Embracing Socialism now?
Anti-Trust laws are one of the most important protections of the American free enterprise system. This, of course, involves freedom of speech and thought as well.
Nope. I'm advocating that nobody regulates speech.
The government taking an active role in private business is the core of Socialism. You wanting the government to break up a company is...SOCIALISM.
Nope, now if the government seized Google and took over all management and operations, then we would be talking Socialism
Sounds like he's embracing counter culture.
That would indeed be nice..
Opposition to the big tech social media and its gate keepers, fact checkers, content controllers, and censors is an All American and pro America thing to to.
Yes.
And why stop at that?
Why not just join QAnon and help save the world from democracy!
(Yes, QDS is a good thang!!!
so I'm adding it to my other derangement syndromes...Hitler Derangement Syndrome, Stalin Derangement Syndrome, Jeffrey Dahmer Derangement Syndrome, Attila the Hun Derangement Syndrome, Vlad the Impaler Derangement Syndrome, Trump Derangement Syndrome, David Duke Derangement Syndrome.
Let's all join together and help MATA! ( Make America Totalitarian Again! )
There ya, go.....Already using Hillary & Marc's Newspeak I see.
Lots of reporting of QAnon on Fox News (see comment # 1. 1).
But why do you think is worthy of mention?
After all, its news-- so its not only been reported by Fox-- I've seen it reported on other news outs as well (Left Wing. Right Wing...even Centrist)
Unfortunately it's less news than what the Marxists running BLM have actually accomplished.
Of the over 600 nuts who were charged with violent felonies for participation in Trump's January 6th Insurrection exactly zero were associated with BLM or ANTIFA. Everyone of them were Trump supporters. All of them...
First of all, are you are assuming all of the 600 were QAnon people?
Second: What is the membership of the violent antifa group or the highly influential Marxist organization known as BLM?
I did not assume shit and you are in denial...
Ooooh the Qanon boogieman ...... scary!
You are not assuming, you're attempting to smear the 74,222,958 Americans who voted for Donald Trump.
Posting a photo of one individual who represents the mentally ill proves that you lack an argument.
Looks like the latest liberal tactic is to try to associate every Republican with some fringe group of nuts.
Looks like they learned nothing from Hillary's famous "deplorables" comment and instead are stupidly doubling down on it.
I think the elections in Virginia and New Jersey scared the hell out of them as far as the midterms go, plus add in all the Democrats resigning or running for other offices and you have the perfect liberal panic storm.
They're not going to learn. You have to remember that this is also the same group of people who think the country is running better under the current administration.
I can accept that until after the midterms.
Then we need to make sure they get educated.
Exactly!
Looks like they learned nothing from Hillary's famous "deplorables" comment and instead are stupidly doubling down on it.
They can't learn because a modern American university is too busy teaching what to think rather than how to think!

Next November can't get here fast enough.
It should be a challenge for Marc Elias.
Good and the dimwits will keep abandoning their sinking ship by the numbers prior to the 2022 elections.
F everything all up and then run ......
Cowards!
No, I am saying none were BLM or ANTIFA.
Zero nada zip none. Not even one of them...
And you cannot POSSIBLY know that for certain so just give it up and say it is possible there may have been some.
Obviously, they are all right wing agitators and from out of town, no matter what town BLM is rioting in.
That's the narrative.
The spear on the end of the flagpole and the helmet mounted horns are scary.
Stupid is stupid, that’s for sure…
A radical right wing fringe group that no one had ever heard of until Trump came along. Probably a couple hundred members at most....kinda like the Proud Boys or whatever they are called now.
On the other hand, Antifa and BLM number in the thousands and are well known nationwide for their violence and riots they start and the damage they cause.
Thus when President Trump tells Americans and what do we see? An article on QAnon members ( don't ask how they would know) booing!
That is the bottom line here
Other than a few dimbulbs that absconded with our scuba diving universal "OK" signal i'm not sure who they are ....
They are morons. There are a lot of morons. Look how many still believe the Russia hoax.
One of my favorite morons jokes:
"I read an article that said one in five Americans thinks Elvis is alive. I want to find those morons and get them registered to vote for me."
- Pat Paulsen
I miss me some Pat Paulsen
We'll never forget his campaign for the presidency, will we?
Not me
"Picky, picky, picky."
Yeah i used to see his shows each summer in Traverse City at the now defunct Cherry Capital Playhouse.
He was one funny dude.
I think the Smothers Brothers helped put him on the national stage.
His campaign slogan was “We’ve upped our standards, now up yours!”
Nor me either…Lol!
[DELETED]
Well, since you brought up the topic of moron jokes, how about this one, ROFL!
Microchip implanted in your skin could be your COVID vaccine passport
You have some great moron jokes-- thanks for posting!
Your Moron Jokes are good-- but here's one of my favourite Moron Jokes:
Excellent!
Thanks for posting that!
Anyone else have a favourite Moron Joke they want to post like Sparty just did?
C'mon don't be shy-- post it here ..
Not me
Me neither!
I wonder how other people here feel about that?
(Replying to what Sparty just said
)
Nothing there ...
Good one!
In response, I shall now post one of mine:
Q: How many dimbulbs that absconded does it take to change a lightbulb?
Imagine following this BS ?:
Funny that the same people that say antifa does not exist insist that QAnon is the biggest threat to Democracy since the civil war. Bigger than Watergate!
Interesting!
(That's the word most people who don't understand what's going on use on social media.... it indicates a severe case of NUS!)
Funny that the same people that say antifa does not exist insist that QAnon is the biggest threat to Democracy since the civil war.
LOL!
So Right Down The Centre-- AHA!!!
I see that once again you are playing The Guilt By Association Card!
(I think that a good move at this point in the discussion. But that's just me-- how do others here feel about that ploy?)
Great point well made and right on!
That's a great point.
And look at the results of antifa as compared to a handful of online kooks.
a severe case of NUS!
= "Not Understanding What's Going On Syndrome!"
A universal democrat party affliction
"a survey conducted by Citizen Data found that 62 percent of conservatives believe in at least one core conspiracy theory born from the (Qanon) movement."
Because there were a lot of boos.
The refusal to accept the results of a free and fair election is dividing this country. Right wing conservative lies are dividing this country. The 62 percent of conservatives who believe in Qanon conspiracy theories are dividing this country. The large number of right wing conservative anti-vaxxers and ant-maskers who force themselves upon their community putting everyone else at risk are dividing this country, those continuing to defend and deflect for the violent Jan 6th insurrectionists are dividing the country. The MSM reporting on the loud "boo's" at Trump are simply reporting on the facts. They could have pointed out how we still have a losing candidate going around trying to rile up his supporters by continuing to tell lies about the election, denigrate our current administration and effectively spit on our constitution by still refusing to concede, but all they reported on were the clearly, loudly audible "Boooooo's!" that the Mango Mussolini clearly deserves.
I'll say. 2/3 of Democrats believe the Russian changed vote totals in 2016.
Scary!
First, link? Second, nice moving of the goal posts, now it's "changed vote totals" that has to be proved, not just Russian involvement in the election, hacking State election databases, being given internal Campaign information by the Trump campaign chairman, Russian paying millions for fake social media adds, Russians hacking political party emails, Russians offering dirt on political opponents, the goal posts have been moved all the way to "changed vote totals", none of the rest matter to Russia loving conservatives.
From what I found, the poll back then showed seven in ten Democrats believe a member or members of the Trump campaign did something improper in their dealings with Russia before the inauguration, which was of course proven by the Republican Senate investigation.
No, they couldn't prove Trump himself was guilty of criminal conspiracy, but they found that Trumps campaign chairman did in fact have regular contact with a Russian intelligence officer and give him internal campaign information and says other Trump associates were eager to exploit the Kremlin’s aid, particularly by maximizing the impact of the disclosure of Democratic emails hacked by Russian intelligence officers. As pointed out by some Senators the report “unambiguously shows that members of the Trump campaign cooperated with Russian efforts to get Trump elected.” Maine Independent Sen. Angus King said the report was “not a hoax,” and “It’s just one more set of facts that’s hard to ignore.”
According to the report, which most shameless conservatives refuse to read or accept as fact, it says "Manafort’s high-level access and willingness to share information with individuals closely affiliated with the Russian intelligence services, particularly Kilimnik, represented a grave counterintelligence threat,” which clearly shows that there was more than enough evidence for the FBI to investigate unlike what many whiny conservatives like to claim.
Are there any Democrats who, in the last 5 years, been trying to use that to put Hillary Clinton in the Whitehouse? Of course not, Hillary conceded the day after the 2016 election, something the desperately delicate and fragile Mango Mussolini could never admit to.
Lincoln said "Better to remain quiet and maybe be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.
Or would you like to buy a /S ?
An S for secular….
Bingo!
Nice try Sara Swan and the rest of the radical left.
Is the Russia hoax on the list? How many democrats still believe that?
Would that be like starting a 4 year investigation into a duly elected president, based solely on the blathering's of the loser and her fictitious documents?
Conspiracy theories have been around long before anyone thought to call them Qanon. These modern conspiracy theories are an outgrowth of the counter culture revolution that claimed government could not be trusted.
Grassy Knoll, CIA coverup, Area 51, anti-nuke, anti-vaxx, and 911 false flag, as examples, weren't conspiracy theories pushed by white supremacists, xenophobes, or even conservatives. All these conspiracy theories came from the political left. And what all these conspiracy theories have in common was that the government was lying and the government can't be trusted.
Even the 1619 Project is a counter culture conspiracy theory claiming the government has lied and can't be trusted. The 1619 Project fits within the Qanon sphere.
What is Qanon? Qanon is a counter culture movement that claims the government is lying and the government can't be trusted. Any conspiracy theory that claims government can't be trusted fits within Qanon. Why else would butt numb, brain dead, status-quo, establishment politicians consider Qanon a threat? And the government cracking down on Qanon only validates the conspiracy theories claiming the government can't be trusted.
