It's time to unmask Q. Who do you think Q / QAnon really is?

[Initech]

Honestly if I were a betting man, I would bet high dollars and good odds that it's Roger Stone. No one has had a grudge against Hillary Clinton more than that asshole, and the thought of him making up bullshit about Hillary Clinton running a pedophile ring is so immature that I would immediately suspect he's the one behind it. But I wouldn't rule out Alex Jones or Jerome Corsi either. One of those assholes is Q. It's time to pull a Scooby Doo, take off the mask and show us all who you really are. Anyone else want to guess who Q is?

[alwaysinflux]

1. I doubt it's anyone famous...

... because who has time for all that crap? It's someone who has a lot of time on their hands and enjoys stringing all these crazies along.

[blake2012]

3. Lol. Like who I suggested

[Initech]

4. Let's not forget that Roger Stone did make a career out of hating Hillary Clinton.

And I'm sure was instrumental in helping rig the election. So there is that.

[Hortensis]

7. Taking out a president is "crap"? Because that IS

what Hillary Clinton was going to be.

She was way out ahead almost the entire race, and she was going to sweep Democrats into at least a majority in the senate on her Democratic Party coattails, and perhaps even take the house. While that was once unthinkable, by fall it was being thought of big time by expert analysts. When she was taken out our coattails collapsed also, and we lost both branches and a huge number of state and local offices.

12. "Q"/"QAnon" didn't take out a president. They didn't turn up until the 2nd half of last year

and they just pump out weird messages designed to entice the loons at 4chan into constructing ever more ridiculous conspiracy theories. I don't think they posted before Trump's stupid "calm before the storm" remark.

That's the 'crap' this thread is about.

[Initech]

17. And now that this bullshit is trying to be turned into legitimate news...

It's time to stop it. Let's find out who Q really is and hopefully we can stop the bullshit.

That's why i think it's someone involved with the Trump administration - someone who can stir the crazies while remaining anonymous. I wouldn't be surprised if it was Julian Assange either. That dude does have a wifi connection, a hatred of Hillary, and a lot of free time on his hands.

[muriel_volestrangler]

18. No, saying it's someone from the administration is what would make it "legitimate news"

because then it would be an actual disinformation operation. "Someone who can stir the crazies while remaining anonymous" means "anyone". Anyone can post BS on 4chan and get them to believe it. Saying "we must find out who this is" gives them too much credit. They are not posting anything real, so there is no need to assume there is any connection with any known person.

[Initech]

20. But my beef with this, is this.

It's true that any jackass can post shit anonymously on any message board. But conspiracy theories don't favor us, and this is true. But how does something like "The Storm" not only get believed, but passed around enough to gain media traction?

There's someone on 4chan with media connections that is getting this crap spread around. Conspiracy theories don't just pop up on a message board, and then all of a sudden you have half the country believing it, no matter how baseless. Ive been around the internet enough to know that it doesn't work that way.

[muriel_volestrangler]

24. It isn't believed by half the country. It may well be spread by bots.

It's the kind of thing a bot network is good at spreading - just repeating any old thing. 4chan was known for expertise in using bots long before Russia was - look at this from 9 years ago: https://techcrunch.com/2009/04/21/4chan-takes-over-the-time-100/

[Initech]

26. And that's entirely possible. Q could be more than one person operating one account.

It could be Putin's troll bot army spreading this nonsense. He has found a way to weaponize social media and that is scary.

[blake2012]

2. Some 800lb college Republican in his moms basement

Who ironically trolls for kids at the local Chucke Cheese.

[Fla_Democrat]

5. Ben Whishaw

Although, I think a lot people would agree that Desmond Llewelyn was the quintessential Q.

[sarcasmo]

6. You meddling kids.

[radical noodle]

8. Could be that POS

dinesh d'souza

There are tons of them out there who make up lies and spread them far and wide.

[Berlin Expat]

9. "Q" is most likely probably someone

we've never heard of - a complete unknown.

The nom de plume this person has chosen is interesting; two meanings immediately spring to mind. "Q" is often used in Christian theological circles to refer to the Q Document, or Quelledokument, a hypothetical original source document for the New Testament's synoptic Gospels of Matthew and Luke. Of course, "Q" is also quite famously the recurring character played by John de Lancie in Star Trek: The Next Generation - and a member of the Q Continuum, a species of extra-dimensional beings who are, by human standards, essentially omnipotent and omniscient.

Personally, I think Q is simply a deeply disturbed conspiracy theorist who just came along at the right place at the right time and is probably privately reveling in his - or her - anonymous fame.

That's just my take on it.....your mileage may vary.

[Arazi]

10. Russia

[LonePirate]

27. I was thinking the same thing. This person is not necessarily American.

Plus this smells a lot like a Russian disinformation campaign. I could be wrong, though.

[Thyla]

11. Why waste time worrying about it

It's a FRW larp, likely it is a bunch of nuts pissed that stormfront had to go underground.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

13. John de Lancie

[oberliner]

14. Why does it matter?

Those people you mention do the same sort of thing completely openly.

[Initech]

15. After watching John Oliver last night i think it does matter.

Because Sinclair is trying to pass off the Trump conspiracy theory bullshit as legitimate news and is forcing nearly all of their stations to report this crap. I think if we pull the mask off who Q really is, it would delegitimize "The Storm", Pizzagate, and all of the other shit we've been forced to put up with.

[muriel_volestrangler]

19. Did he say Sinclair is saying the "Q" stuff might be true?

Anyway, I don't see how you are going to be able to get any evidence on who 'Q' is. You don't run 4chan or an ISP, so you're not going to have the necessary IP addresses. You don't have the power to unmask all users of the internet.

[Initech]

21. That's not the take away I got.

What John Oliver was saying that Sinclair forces its' stations to report on certain issues. And they are trying to normalize the conspiracy theory bullshit by reporting on "The Storm" and other nonsense.

I think if we cut the bullshit off at the source, it would stop media outlets like Sinclair from trying to normalize it. And I'm not saying out all of the internet, just whoever Q is.

[muriel_volestrangler]

25. Yes, but 'Q' is just some guy on the internet. For you to go after him, you have to be able

to go after anyone on the internet.

If you see TV stations trying to report on "The Storm" as anything other than stupid conspiracy theory, then go after the stations. Because you know who they are, and they want to have a reputation as believable news outlets, so that companies advertise with them. But you are unable to shut down 4chan, so it's pointless you wishing that you could.

[Javaman]

16. ...

[Kirk Lover]

22. I don't think it's Stone or anyone we know in that capacity. It's either some fool who is laughing

at how easily manipulated his subjects are OR it could be more nefarious.

All I know is that there is a steady stream of conspiracy bullshit being pumped out by that 4Chan cesspool.

[Initech]

23. It's got to be someone with media connections though.

Anyone can create shit like "The Storm" but getting half the country to believe it? I know Trump supporters will believe just about anything but this? The only way is if Q was a media insider or even a White House insider.
