These Q drops popping up online come across like just another strategy to incite people to 'do something'. Getting the conspiracy crowd on side, demonising the opposition and hoping that someone takes action into their own hands. Very much so. This was quite entertaining to start with but now it’s just boring. Quite sad to see people completely taken over by a cult. Even when nothing happens on the 20th you know there will be something else issued that tries to explain it away and pushes the date back further. I’m intrigued as to who is getting rich off of it. Not the first time someone would have done off the easily suggestible and won’t be the last.

Although I respect Russell, this is disappointing for me. You lost me at this point.

But, there is a LOT of chatter out there about something going down on the 20th. And whilst I appreciate that for many on the Progressive Left seeing Trump having his knees effectively done in terms of this denial of mass-communication is like a late Kwanaza present, it sits really uneasily with me on a variety of levels. Denial of the airwaves to your enemy is a key strategy of any kind of modern warfare and what is happening to Trump seems to be a real over-kill. Let's see. Maybe this transition of power will just happen and then you get a return to the normality of third-world regime change and resultant global chaos you lefties are clearly overjoyed to welcome back? However, the money aspect is one I would be interested in. The whole 'Flat Earth' spiel has evolved into a global cottage industry (they even have their own dating agencies to attract like-minded partners) so maybe this Q stuff will evolve accordingly?

The only thing I can see happening on the 20th is lots of riots across the US between demonstrators and counter demonstrators, then it will all quieten down, for now.

Very much has an air of a self-fulfilling prophecy to it doesn't it. Whip an online base up into saying crazy sh*t will go down on the 20th, enough people turn up to be a part of it and crazy sh*t ends up going down. It's basically what happened on the 6th.

I think it will. From what I can gather from my research about it is that whoever is behind it aren't giving any answers, merely giving 'hints' so that people come to their 'own' answers between them. I think it's why it's been so successful as that brings a powerful sense of belonging and ownership to it. All they need to do is start suggesting in other directions or open another gate for the lemmings and they will follow. They're in too deep now for it to just be completely over after the 20th.

Lin wood comes out with it
The attachment. Anyone who has been paying attention in the last few months knows who "Lin" Wood is. He is another attention-seeking attorney who has attached himself to the biggest attention seeker of all, Trump. He is also a conspiracy theorist who has been thrown off cases. In short he is a bit of a nutjob. I detect you have already changed the storyline of the fantasy in response to events that cannot be disputed. It's now being made to fit what is actually happening. The security devices being installed in preparation for the inauguration are now presented as being put there to manage the "takeover". The inauguration itself is now being allowed to go ahead so that all the targets are in one place at the same time. This is no more convincing than any criminal changing his alibi to match known facts. Ask yourself why the military Joint Chiefs made their statement yesterday and what the consequences might be. Then ask yourself why people would turn up to witness an inauguration knowing that they will be detained. If you know, they know. If that was even a remote possibility then the inauguration would happen securely, in a private and secret location and broadcast to the nation. Indeed if there is any real risk perceived of serious disturbances on the 20th that may well still happen, with the national guard being required to deal with anyone making trouble.

Funny how you thought it was OK when Antifa were wrecking cities all over the US for weeks before the election. We have become used to your hypocrisy Dan.

This has been looked at by those able to trace the links. Apparently the Qanon website is hosted in the Philippines and spread by 3 friends in the USA. Of course they claim they are merely all acting as postmen. They are though the ones making money out of this as it drives traffic to their sites and traffic equals money. The clever thing was the original idea which tapped into a deep vein of belief in this kind of conspiracy. Building on that and developing the narrative could easily be managed by just a couple of people. All you need do is put it out there and it feeds itself. It's a cult in which the messiah doesn't need to ever show themselves. "Life of Brian" comes to mind. "Q" is actually just a very naughty boy. Maybe I have stumbled on the real origins of "Q". He is a British fan of Spike Milligan who also admired the Pythons:- Or is that another conspiracy theory? Edited by Wisbech Eagle (13 Jan 2021 11.28am)

Not only will Trump not magically still be President on 20th, as result of impeachment there are also a couple of very realistic methods of disbarring him from ever holding office in future [Link] Something that ironically holds as much appeal to his own party as it does Democrats.
