QAnon is NOT a "domestic terror threat": Unraveling the tangled web of MSM lies
This post is intended as both an update to the current info that's been posted in a Global Notable and an addendum with new info that should help explain how the entire MSM came to spread the unfounded rumor that QAnon had been officially designated by the FBI as a "domestic terror threat."
TIMELINE:
- On 4-27-19, Poway shooter emulates Christchurch shooter, also posting on 8chan's /pol/ thread. Fuels MSM's efforts to say 8chan radicalizes posters.

- One result: FBI investigates 8chan, there are subsequent posts on this in /qr/ (see CAP 2)

- FBI purportedly publishes an intel bulletin from Phoenix field office on 5-30-19 on domestic extremists, mentioning QAnon but not specifically designating it in any way. Jana Winter's posts an 8-1-19 Yahoo article on this previously unreported bulletin which mentions QAnon a lot, in an effort to link it (& POTUS) with domestic terrorism.

"Although the memo lists a number of such theories, including Pizzagate and the conspiracy surrounding the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, it pays particular notice to QAnon…"

(Notice btw the category: "entertainment")
- The Yahoo article embraces this idea with a vengeance, either stating that QAnon was designated as a domestic terror threat or implying it very strongly, e.g. :
-
Rolling Stone: "An internal FBI memoclassified QAnon and other conspiracy theories as a threat…"

Huffpo: "it was recently reported that the FBIhas classed QAnon as a domestic terror threat."

Media Matters: "The QAnon conspiracy theory has been tied to acts of violence, used by anti-government groups, and was flagged as apotential domestic terror threatby the FBI."

(etc., etc.)
- MANY of these claims are published just after 8chan is deplatformed - and so cannot be countered by qresearch investigators. (''Coincidence??'')
- This claim is revived recently after MSM bugged POTUS about his opinion on QAnon and he refused to condemn it. This time, ''anons dig - and find evidence suggesting not only that QAnon had never been designated by the FBI as a domestic terror org (FBI cannot make this designation) but that the whole Yahoo story may have been a Yahoo in-house fabrication (something Praying Medic suspected all along).
(see all CAPS)
- It's likely that the MSM will continue to toss out this FALSE CLAIM - which could be extremely damaging to POTUS. This is why it continues to be an extremely important and ongoin DIG which should probably remain as a global notable (so all anons are up on this fake news & new updates can be added as needed).
CAPS:
1 - first Global post showing that FBI bulletin was probably never designated by FBI as a domestic terrorist threat
2 - updated Global post with moar evidence
3 - Digg on Kelly Reed Grant (did she fabricate a fake FBI intelligence report?)
4 - Jake Tapper currently pushing the narrative hard
5 - anon theory: Is Reiss Ctr/JustSecurity.org/Soros behind the falsified bulletin about QAnon?
