The media is abuzz over QAnon. QAnon is supposedly an operative within American intelligence with “Q level” top secret clearance. Q first appeared in the message board of 4chan and posted about how President Trump was going to bring down the Clinton cabal and initiate mass arrests of the globalist elite who were controlling the world’s economy as well being involved in sex trafficking and pedophilia. You can read the InfoGalactic summary of the history of QAnon to get a basic rundown. This phenomenon has received considerable attention from mainstream media as a means of trying to discredit the Trump administration and/or Trump supporters.

I’d like to share my thoughts on the issue of QAnon. Admittedly, what I’m saying is speculative and cannot be independently verified based upon the nature of the claims being made. Few have personal knowledge of what is going on behind the scenes of global politics, but I think that some reasonable inferences can be made based upon what we do know. It is my belief, based upon the evidence that I have seen thus far, that QAnon is a deep state PsyOp that has served two distinct purposes. The first is that  I believe that QAnon has given Trump supporters of the more red-pilled variety a false sense of hope and security. The second purpose is to discredit rumors regarding the international elite; sex trafficking and pedophilia in particular.

QAnon is notoriously pro-Trump. A consistent theme in QAnon’s posting is that Donald Trump is going to bring down the rotten system currently in power. There are pro-Trump patriots in place within the deep state who are about to expose the corruption in the government and Hollywood. This “storm” is immanent. It will come any day. All one has to do is sit back and decode the virtually imperceptible signs that the patriots in the Trump administration are going to act. All the while justice is dangled like a carrot in front of those who are led to believe that they are truly in the know. It’s very much akin to a secularized version of the pre-millennial rapture.

As recently as this spring there were rumors that COVID was being used as a cover by the Trump administration for the mass arrest of Hollywood pedophiles. Similar promises have been made in the past. On several occasions Q has stated that high ranking politicians like Hillary Clinton were going to be arrested and none of them have come to fruition. Hillary Clinton isn’t going to be arrested and prosecuted and she knows it. Unfortunately the Q Psyop has successfully convinced people to continue to wait patiently for the swamp to drain while more and more ground is being lost. Gregory Hood, who is currently a contributor for American Renaissance, has written on the QAnon issue and summarizes the role of Q in promoting complacency, “President Trump and his followers have already won, and there’s no reason to do anything but scour the internet for clues about what’s coming next.”

The second purpose of QAnon is to provide a cover for actual crimes perpetrated by the globalist elite by shrouding the truth in mountains of unsubstantiated rumors and flimsy conspiracy theories. The fact that Q’s promises of a counter-revolution against the globalist elite led by President Trump have come to naught allows the mainstream media to point out these repeated failures in order to discredit any legitimate discussion of the crimes frequently referenced by Q. The mainstream media is ostensibly quite worried about the role that Q plays in informing Trump supporters. Gregory Hood questions why Q has caused the media uproar that it has. Who’s Afraid of QAnon and why are they afraid? If Q is just some internet crackpot then what is the need for such a strong reaction?

I believe that the answer lies in a long term strategy employed by the deep state to discredit mounting scandals like Pizzagate and the tangled web weaved by the now-deceased Jeffrey Epstein. Many of the things that Q comments on have been demonstrated to be true. Parsing fact from fiction requires determination and discernment, and these qualities are sorely lacking in most of America’s population. It’s important to remember that Wikileaks is unconnected to Q. The rigging of the 2016 DNC primaries has already been well-documented enough that even mainstream media sources have conceded this point. Ditto the murder of Seth Rich, identified by Julian Assange as the leaker of the DNC emails. Wikileaks further established a link between the Podestas and the occult ritual known as “spirit cooking.” Pizzagate may involve a degree of unsubstantiated hysteria, but there is still plenty of smoke to confirm that there is fire blazing somewhere. Other supposed conspiracies tied to QAnon have been confirmed by other sources that aren’t linked to Q and in many cases have even been acknowledged by mainstream sources. For many normies these stories have long gone down the memory hole, if they were ever aware of them to begin with.

By mixing true information with a false expectation tied to President Trump, the Q phenomenon allows first the mainstream media, followed by politicians and even Christian leaders to denounce any belief in any of the conspiracies mentioned by Q no matter their own individual merits. Imagine trying to discuss Pizzagate with a family member who isn’t as well-versed in what is going on. Their reaction is likely to go something like, “Pizzagate? Isn’t that some sort of QAnon nonsense?” By associating the mounting evidence of international conspiracies with the repeatedly disproven Q narrative, the deep state has done its job in the service of the elites. Many people will simply dismiss any evidence of these conspiracies out of hand because they will have been told by their favorite television pundit that these stories originate from some internet crackpot. This strategy is overwhelmingly effective against the older generations who aren’t nearly as tech savvy.

Generally speaking the Baby Boomer generation and their few remaining Greatest parents simply don’t know where to find good information since they came of age when TV news anchors were (wrongly) considered to be trustworthy and reliable. Granted, most of the younger generations might be even worse. Think of a typical leftist millennial whose primary source of information is Reddit. Ultimately, the strategy seems to be to emphasize (and perhaps overemphasize) the extent to which Trump’s supporters are Q followers. This allows the media to portray Trump as a dangerous and potentially cultish figure whose supporters are true believers in wild internet conspiracies; the goal being to shift undecided “moderates” into Biden’s camp.

It remains to be seen how effective this Q strategy will be. Will the media be able to convince enough people that Trump is a potential dangerous cult leader and aspiring dictator? Will the disinformation spread from Q rumors convince people to shun even well-documented scandals as mindless conspiracy theories? I don’t know. As I said from the outset, my analysis is somewhat speculative in nature. My position on Q as a deep state psyop is based upon what I and others have considered to be the problems with QAnon. There was good reason to doubt Q’s predictions for the last several years because they were persistently pro-Trump and repeatedly turned out to be giant nothing-burgers.
