Select Language Powered by A recent Reuters investigation may indicate that “Q Anon” was in fact an FBI cyber psyop.

The “Q Anon” phenomenon has generally been regarded as a hoax or prank, originated by online message board users in late October 2017, that got out of control. The “Q Anon” persona was preceded by similar personae, including “FBI anon”, “CIA anon” and “White House insider anon”.

“Q Anon” originally called himself “Q clearance patriot”. Former CIA counterintelligence operative Kevin M. Shipp explained that an actual “Q clearance leaker” – i.e. someone possessing the highest security clearance at the US Department of Energy, required to access top secret nuclear weapons information – would have been identified and removed within days.

However, in November 2020 Reuters reported that the very first social media accounts to promote the “Q Anon” persona were seemingly “linked to Russia” and even “backed by the Russian government”. For instance, the very first Twitter account to ever use the term “Q Anon” on social media had previously “retweeted obscure Russian officials”, according to Reuters.

These alleged “Russian social media accounts”, posing as accounts of American patriots, were in contact with politically conservative US YouTubers and drew their attention to the “Q Anon” persona. This is how, in early November 2017, the “Q Anon” movement took off.

But given the recent revelations by British investigator David J. Blake – who for the first time was able to conclusively show, at the technical level, that the “Russian hacking” operation was a cyber psyop run by the FBI and FBI cyber security contractor CrowdStrike – the Reuters report may in fact indicate that “Q Anon” was neither a hoax nor “Russian”, but another FBI psychological cyber operation.

Of note, US cyber intelligence firm New Knowledge, founded by former NSA and DARPA employees and tasked by the US Senate Intelligence Committee, in 2018, with investigating alleged “Russian social media operations” relating to the 2016 US presidential election, was itself caught faking a “Russian social media botnet” in order to influence the 2017 Alabama senate race.

If the “Q Anon” persona – similar to the Guccifer2.0 “Russian hacker” persona played by an FBI cyber security contractor – was indeed an FBI psychological operation, its goal may have been to take control of, discredit and ultimately derail the supporter base of US President Trump. In this case, the “Q Anon” movement may have been a modern version of the original FBI CoIntelPro program.

Postscript Contrary to some media claims, the person or people behind the “Q Anon” persona have never been identified. Some media speculated that James Watkins, the owner of the 8chan/8kun message board, on which “Q” was posting his messages, might be “Q” or might be linked to “Q”, but Watkins denied this. In September 2020, the owner of QMap, a website aggregating “Q” messages, was identified as a Citigroup employee, but again no actual link to “Q” could be established.

Q Anon IS bullshit, it's a bunch of keyboard Kommandos wanting to be swingin' dick patriots. Sorry, NN, that's the best way thos old bogan could put it.

I don't remember, but I think Q Anon was a 4chan hoax to scare the sheeple.

It's video gamers LARPing, trying to be men.

PJW is closer to being a Q Anon than anybody. He's in the UK.

I knew this wasn't going to go well as soon as I saw the preview...

LARPing

LARP is "Live Action Role Playing."

I had to do that while I was in my 29 weeks of classes for PeeCee/NonViolence a couple years ago.

Juan (gay), Parvielle (big fat black oppressed woman) and Angelo (normal type mex). They were my "Facilitators" to bring me back into the way of wokedom.

For my LARP, they felt the need to have two armed FWPD officers there just in case, in my "safe space" as they called the room.

I met a few neat guys in the class. One was named Ray, he was just let out of prison and had to do classes for his probation. What was Ray's big crime, you might ask? He about beat to death a man in his neighborhood that was messing with his young daughter, and when Ray intervened, the guy pointed a gun at him and his daughter.

Turned out the perv was a paid FWPD informer (confirmed). One day Ray showed up to class and couldn't pay his class fees. I gave him a couple hundred to keep him from whence he came.

Ray was a neat guy. Short, stocky, kind of brought to mind Grizzly Adams or something. Always well groomed, VERY literate. You wouldn't have thought that by just looking at the guy.

The gulag was very strict about fraternizing between clients. Ray was just trying to put his life back together by working at a McDs on Lima road.

Never did get my money back, never wanted or expected it.

Y'all might wanna know what my "crime" was if you haven't heard already. I put my right hand on a gal's right forearm and applied a direct force to pull her up off my couch, that I might escort her out of my dwelling (assault and battery). She hit me in the face, which expedited her movement toward the exit. She managed to get a couple more shots in that broke a rib.

I knew what was coming. The FWPD made short work of it. I went to jail.

Ray was a pretty neat guy. I wish I'd have given him 10k rather than what I had in my wallet.

He was one of those smart folks that I'm not allowed to see face-to- face anymore. I really liked him. No regrets Ray.

Counselor, if you or anybody on 4um doesn't believe that flight-of-fancy, I have a special cheap three ring binder documenting everything that I had to put down on paper, plus all the legal docs.

I'm not much in the mood to bullshit anymore, but if my story helps one 4umer it's worth it.

(Edit) I didn't lie to the lawyer that I had to buy, I'm sure as hell not going to lie to you or anybody that doesn't have skin in the game.
