MSM continues to chip away. All for a larp.

Who Is Behind QAnon? Linguistic Detectives Find Fingerprints

Using machine learning, separate teams of computer scientists identified the same two men as likely authors of messages that fueled the viral movement.

“Open your eyes,” the online post began, claiming, “Many in our govt worship Satan.”

That warning, published on a freewheeling online message board in October 2017, was the beginning of the movement now known as QAnon. Paul Furber was its first apostle.

The outlandish claim made perfect sense to Mr. Furber, a South African software developer and tech journalist long fascinated with American politics and conspiracy theories, he said in an interview. He still clung to “Pizzagate,” the debunked online lie that liberal Satanists were trafficking children from a Washington restaurant. He was also among the few who understood an obscure reference in the message to “Operation Mockingbird,” an alleged C.I.A. scheme to manipulate the news media.

The comments are rolling in fast.

They started this QAnon thing for one reason. To sell T-shirts, hats, flags, and to solicit donations. I guess they have saturated the market for those items and have gone dormant. Once trump is in prison, the nonsense will begin again.

There is money to be made with this Q nonsense. Follow the money. People who follow Q say they don’t pay for anything. But every website is monetized. Your data is sold. Anytime you click on a link cash is made.

Thank you for this investigative piece on the origins of Q. I’m sure it is not hard for anybody to figure out who is really behind this. It is just that the minions don’t care.

Why do people want to believe conspiracy theories? What is missing from their lives that this kind of thinking takes hold? Does having an us against them world view make it easier to get up in the morning? It’s sad.

I suggest Q was the Russian Internet Research Agency. They sit around drinking and inventing the silliest proposals about American politics. Then they posted them as Q.
