QAnon conspiracy theorists say Gabby Petito was an 'actress' and a 'false flag' the mainstream media

The mystery surrounding Gabby Petito's death has taken on new life in QAnon conspiracy theorist circles, with people suggesting that Petito is a crisis actor and a '"false flag" to distract people from President Joe Biden's "failures."

Some even claim that Petito doesn't actually exist.

Petito's disappearance sparked a nationwide search and opened the floodgates for a sea of internet sleuths attempting to find her. Earlier this week, remains in Wyoming were confirmed to be Petito, and her death was ruled a homicide. Separately, her fiance, Brian Laundrie, has disappeared and been declared a person of interest in the case.

"Brian Laundrie? Brain = Brain. Laundrie = Laundry = Wash. BRAINWASH is what his name means. Definitely an operation," one Telegram user wrote.


So the members of the Satanic Cabal that are harvesting bloo-sorry, adrenochrome from children, these Je-sorry, globalists are just sitting around the big round table in the smoky room and this is their exchange:

"Ah, Agents 57 and 313 are ready for deployment in Operation Brainwash!"
"Yes, we need public deployment names!"
"Yes, yes, their names must be similar to the operation we are planning! Smartest plan ever!"
"Yes, only our arch-enemies in 8chan, Telegram, and the weird corners of Facebook and Youtube will even catch on!"
"MUHAHAHA! ALL PRAISE SOROS!"

From a common cold to “we can use our computers to upload a virus to an alien mothership’s technology, cause that’s how shit works.”

I can say this is a very interesting tendency that the mind has. Loose associations are compelling, and in that type of mental illness is uncontrollable.

Being a conspiracy theorist has, for some, a similar compulsive quality, and then they reinforce one another until it’s a huge game. Only to them it isn’t a game. The higher the stakes (false, in many ways they can’t admit even to themselves) the more exciting and compelling to find patterns and puzzles.

The problem becomes bad when they prevent those of us who have to make the world work (while they play) from being able to do it. Pandering to that crowd is a dangerous game in itself.

who asked them? And where do they get such wild ideas? Is anything real to them? Do they think they're living in the Matrix or something?

By all means, let's make sure he's not held accountable for his actions.

It's a well-distributed stupidity, political spectrum-wise.
